The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 57 Red Whale Security Group

Lin Ye looked calmly at Ji Feng.

From the very beginning, when Zhou Yi exaggerated the dangers of the killer bear and insisted on setting traps, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

That night, he could have taken the opportunity to kill the killer bear in one fell swoop, but Zhou Yi missed the chance with a single shot.

Although Zhou Yi's explanation was reasonable, sometimes what is reasonable is itself unreasonable.

Moreover, how could such a well-hidden bear den have been discovered so easily?

However, what ultimately convinced him that Zhou Yi had a problem was...

[Consuming three fragments of resentment from mortal-level vengeful spirits (1/3)]

Among the resentful fragments of the killer bear, there are some memories of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi personally chopped off the heads of those villagers.

Several people wearing cloaks appeared, their appearances perfectly matching those of cult members in the movie.

Unfortunately, the fragments of resentment only revealed some memory snippets, and the sounds were indistinct, making it impossible to know the content of the conversation.

Across from him, upon hearing Lin Ye's question, Zhou Yi's face flushed slightly, and he was no longer so calm.

"Why? You're asking me why?"

He looked indignant, then seemed to laugh in exasperation.

"Truly worthy of being a disciple of the Crimson Whale Sect. Yes, of course you wouldn't understand. How could you possibly understand?"

He shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh, his gaze turning fierce.

"A divine servant...that's an opportunity to become a divine servant!"

"Do you know how powerful the divine servants are?!"

Roaring, he drew his metal whip and swooped down.

With a flick of his wrist, the soft whip snapped taut and lashed out at the forest with a swooping motion.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow. He hadn't realized before that Zhou Yi was also a master whose fist technique had reached the third level.

"Why don't you agree to set a trap! Why?!"

"If we let that beast charge in for a while, there will easily be twelve people!"

"Why! Why! After the sacrifice, I became a servant of the gods!"

"A divine servant! This is comparable to a martial arts master! A meteoric rise to the top!"

"Why! Why don't you agree!"

Zhou Yi roared loudly, for he was fortunate enough to be chosen by the Nuo Snake Cult, and this was his only chance!

Otherwise, I'd have to stay in Qishan Town for the rest of my life!

He is not willing!

He was a master of the third level of boxing. If he hadn't been suppressed, why would he be living in this small Qishan Town?

Why should he be confined to this place? He could be free to roam the world!

The whip lashed out across the woods like a steel rod.

Lin Ye did not back down; he held his halberd upside down and charged forward forcefully.

"Ding!"

With a clang of metal striking metal, Zhou Yi's face contorted with savage joy as he suddenly pulled with all his might.

Suddenly, the iron whip snapped at the point where the weapons met, and the sharp edge of the whip slashed towards Lin Ye's neck.

Their combat experience is too poor!

The soft whip is unpredictable and is the best counter to long weapons!

But the next moment, a strange force came, and the soft whip changed its momentum, wrapping around the halberd.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Ye pulled with both hands, and Zhou Yi felt a terrifying force coming from the soft whip.

Before I could even react, I saw the whip slip from my hand and fly away.

"Thump!"

The sharp tip of the whip pierced the tree trunk, and the whip itself drooped limply.

Lin Ye swept his halberd horizontally towards Zhou Yi.

The powerful force slammed into Zhou Yi, producing several crisp sounds of bones breaking.

Zhou Yi's body flew out horizontally, rolled several times on the ground, and was unable to move again.

"You...how...how...are you...so...strong?"

He struggled to lift his head, spitting out blood, unable to understand why this was happening.

This guy's combat experience is definitely not as good as his. He even used a soft whip that is effective against long-handled weapons. How could he be beaten like this in one go?

Lin Ye ignored him, took out his phone to send a message to Lei Long, then found a seat and sat down, silently watching Zhou Yi.

Although the soft power of Lingxianquan is not good at direct confrontation, it can indeed produce unexpected results at certain times.

If he hadn't mastered the Spirit Thread Fist, he would have been truly caught off guard by that unexpected attack.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"Director Zhou, you've submitted the mission report, right?"

"You don't need to trouble me with this anymore, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi, whose head was tilted back, suddenly felt his vision go black.

"You...you! Pfft—!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately passed out.

Looking at Zhou Yi on the ground, Lin Ye shook his head; his mental fortitude was too poor.

No wonder he only lingered here for a short while before coming over so impatiently.

......

"Alright, Brother Ye, the mission report has been uploaded. Once it's reviewed over there, the mission is considered complete."

In the office on the second floor of the Whale Kill headquarters, Lei Yin pressed Enter, and the screen displayed the words "Submitted".

He glanced at Lin Ye and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Such a large mutated black bear would be a match for even a third-level expert, yet Brother Ye actually managed to kill it.

Lin Ye nodded. "Thank you for your help."

[Completed the Crimson Whale Sect's formal disciple assessment (incomplete)]

The last unlock condition still shows as incomplete; it seems it will only be considered complete after approval.

"You're welcome, Brother Ye."

Lei Yin responded with a smile, and just as he finished speaking, the office door opened.

Lei Long strode in, holding a newly printed record in his hand.

"Old Lin, the interrogation is complete."

"That mutated black bear was created by the Nuo Snake God Cult."

"The man surnamed Zhou plans to use this black bear to complete the sacrificial ritual of the Nuo Snake God Cult, which will allow him to directly become a divine servant."

He walked closer and handed the interrogation record to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye took the interrogation record with some surprise. The fact that the Red Whale Clan could interrogate a police chief privately meant that their influence in Coastal City was greater than he had imagined.

Is this the sect of the cultists who entered the country this time?

Were they the ones who set up the altar in that dark street?

"But this guy's got a screw loose. Divine servants are comparable to secret warriors; how could they be made so easily?"

"Sacrificing these few people will at most allow him to reach the fourth level of the shock."

"I reckon those guys from the Nuo Snake Cult want to sacrifice him and then turn that black bear into a divine servant beast comparable to the fifth level of martial arts."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. He had seen some records of divine servants and beast tamers when he was researching information about cults.

This is a living puppet crafted by the divine servant using a special secret method; it is extremely powerful.

However, like the divine servants, they are recorded as urban legends.

But now it seems that someone was deliberately hiding information about the extraordinary.

Looking through the interrogation records, besides the issues related to this cult, there were also some things about Zhou Yi himself.

He was originally a top student who graduated from the police academy and should have had a bright future in the city.

However, he inadvertently offended the Lin family of the Lin Group and was imprisoned in Qishan Town for twenty years.

"The Lin family? Is the head coach from the Lin family?" He looked at Lei Long.

Lei Long's eyelids twitched, and his expression became somewhat conflicted. "It's someone from the Lin family."

"However, it seems that the eldest brother doesn't get along with his own family and rarely mentions them. I advise you not to ask too many questions."

Lin Ye nodded and handed back the notes in his hand. "Understood."

Lei Long took the interrogation record and said, "Let's go to the security company, sign an employment contract, and then there's your own training room, which you can design yourself."

"If you find it too troublesome, just use the basic template."

......

"Sizzle—"

Lei Long slammed on the brakes and came to a stop, his skill level rivaling that of Zhuang Huaizhang.

After getting off the car, Lin Ye looked at the building in front of him.

It has at least thirty floors, and the top is a huge spherical structure covered with reflective glass.

The six large characters "Red Whale Security Group" stand vertically on the sphere, exuding a grand and assertive presence.
