Chapter 757: Chapter 437: Chief Team’s Special Invitation for an Exorcist_2

Not only that, a Semi-spirit like Yan Junze who could control the domain field simply did not exist.

Yan Junze did not delay, and after accepting the mission, he called Xiaomo to inform her and immediately left the team’s office building for the airport.

Tianmeng District was considered to be at the center of the Great Capital, with Yannan to the south, Tianyi to the north, Shou Zheng to the east, and Aries to the west.

Departing from Tianmeng, it was relatively convenient to reach any of the nearby districts. This was also one of the reasons that Tianmeng immediately dispatched Yan Junze to assist Aries District; if they waited for a five-star Exorcist from Huaying District to head over, it would be too late.

It took less than an hour by plane to arrive at the urban airport of Aries District.

Outside the airport, a car dispatched by the Exorcist team of the area was waiting, and the person responsible for receiving Yan Junze was a female Exorcist named Ma Jing.

Ma Jing was tall with a large frame. After confirming Yan Junze’s identity in the car, she showed considerable respect, but her face bore no smile, only a serious expression as she began to explain.

“The strangeness occurred at No. 17 Qingtian Alley, within an old quadrangle dwelling. The homeowner, Zhou Wenfei, is missing. He was repeatedly dialing 4747 at first, so we blacklisted him and dispatched a three-star Exorcist named Gu Dekang to investigate and deal with it, then Gu Dekang also went missing. In the early hours of that day, a four-star Exorcist named Cao Heng was out on a mission and after concluding it, learned of the situation and reported it to the team for him to check it out.”

“Cao Heng is missing too?” Yan Junze said.

Ma Jing shook her head, “We can’t say missing, it’s very strange. We received his emergency signal that morning, pinpointed at No. 17 Qingtian Alley. Three-star Exorcists and above in Aries District are equipped with these signal transmitters, so they can send signals to notify the team in critical situations, to raise alertness and avoid greater dangers.”

She paused before continuing, “After receiving the signal, I organized two other three-star Exorcists to drop their current tasks and rush over immediately. We arrived there around three in the morning. As soon as we entered the courtyard, we heard Brother Cao’s screams, which made us dare not move. We observed carefully, afraid of being ambushed by the strangeness.”

“What’s your rank?” Yan Junze interrupted to ask.

“Four stars, but our strongest four-star Exorcist is Cao Heng.” Ma Jing frowned slightly, “Even he’s trapped there, you can imagine how dangerous that strangeness is.”

“Hmm, go on.”

“I then discovered that as soon as anyone who entered the courtyard moved, Brother Cao would immediately scream. If we didn’t move or approach, nothing happened.” Ma Jing’s face showed deep confusion, “With no other choice, I had everyone temporarily leave the courtyard, not daring to enter again. But this proved that Brother Cao was still alive, at least temporarily.”

“Then why did you just say he was both missing and not missing?” Yan Junze asked curiously.

Ma Jing said, “Because later, when it was light, another four-star Exorcist and I entered again.”

“And this time he didn’t scream?” Yan Junze asked.

“No.” Ma Jing shook her head in bewilderment, “Not only that, but my colleague and I easily entered that room and found nothing inside. No person, no strangeness, everything looked ordinary. I sensed the surroundings and didn’t even find any strangeness magnetic fields.”

“Could it be that it only appears at night?” Yan Junze speculated.

Ma Jing looked at him with some astonishment, “Mr. Yan, you are correct. Once night falls, Brother Cao and the strangeness reappear in the room, and we can’t get close. If we approach, Brother Cao will start screaming. We’d contemplated staying inside during the day and waiting for nightfall, but we didn’t have the confidence to handle the strangeness, and we also worried about losing more Exorcists in there. Consequently, the team captain ordered all Exorcists not to approach the courtyard and to wait for backup.”

“How much time has passed since you discovered Cao Heng in that room?” Yan Junze inquired.

“Today is the third day,” Ma Jing replied.

Yan Junze frowned, “He’s been trapped there for three days and is still alive? If he has already started screaming, his condition must be very grim. Having held on this long, Cao Heng is indeed tough.”

“Brother Cao has always been very capable,” Ma Jing said with a worried tone.

As they talked, the car soon entered the urban area, passing through more than a dozen streets and finally driving directly into a spacious alley.

Yan Junze looked out the window and noticed a sign erect outside that read “Qingtian Alley,” with several security bureau staff standing at the entrance to the alley.

Ma Jing explained, “This alley has been sealed off by us, and the security bureau has temporarily requisitioned another courtyard next door for their office. Our vehicle can park there.”

Yan Junze nodded.

Shortly thereafter, the vehicle entered a courtyard. Yan Junze alighted from the vehicle and met with the security bureau official responsible for assisting Exorcists.

About half an hour later, the captain of the Aries District Exorcist team arrived, an elderly man with white hair but who appeared quite robust. Upon seeing Yan Junze, his face was filled with gratitude.

During that half-hour, Yan Junze had already surveyed the exterior of Zhou Wenfei’s courtyard and observed the surroundings.

He also sensed his surroundings. It was daytime, and indeed, he detected no fluctuations of any strangeness magnetic fields.

After meeting with the others, Yan Junze outlined his plan. Time could not be wasted; if they waited any longer, even a tough person like Cao Heng might be on his last legs.
