Chapter 1534 Divine Energizer Stimulation

During the time Gu Wenqing followed Huo Zhuifeng, the latter only talked about the case itself, but never mentioned who authorized him to investigate it.

He considered that the order might come from the Police Headquarters, or it might come from the higher-level Security Affairs Department.

If the real mastermind behind it all is as he suspects, then even these two departments probably wouldn't be able to contend with them, and they could face danger at any moment.

Based on the known information, the case under investigation not only involves national security, but may even affect the safety of the entire world. So even though he knew it was a huge pitfall, he was still willing to jump in with his master.

He had already prepared for the worst, but he never expected that the person behind his master would have such a powerful background!

He was incredibly excited; if that were the case, then there was a real possibility that the matter could be resolved!

Chen Chuan put down the geography magazine in his hand and asked again, "Mr. Gu, how long have you been following Detective Huo?"

Gu Wenqing quickly replied, "Advisor Chen, I started learning martial arts from my teacher when I was twelve years old, and it has been fifteen years now."

Chen Chuan nodded. It was clear that Huo Zhuifeng had no intention of bringing him into the police station; he would only occasionally take him along on reconnaissance missions.

Even so, Gu Wenqing was never brought to the public eye. Even some of Huo Zhuifeng's friends were unaware of Gu Wenqing's existence. It seems that Huo Zhuifeng viewed this student as an unofficial assistant, and possibly also as a successor to his own fighting skills.

Huo Zhuifeng's judgment was quite good. Although Gu Wenqing was only at the third level at present, his foundation was exceptionally solid and he also had special talents. In Huo Zhuifeng's opinion, breaking through the limit of a fighter was not a difficult task, and he even had the conditions to do so.

He then asked, "Why didn't you go to the contact point today?"

Gu Wenqing said, "It's like this, Consultant Chen. Today, when I was about to go out, I sensed a bit of danger. I felt like someone was watching me, so I turned back."

He said "I think" which sounded like a joke, but Chen Chuan knew that what he said was true, because he was a rare person with special spiritual power. Although Huo Zhuifeng did not say it explicitly, he had noticed it after getting to know him.

Gu Wenqing would sense any situation that concerned or endangered him, which might be why Huo Zhuifeng kept him by his side and had him handle communication matters.

"Do you maintain contact with Chief Detective Huo?"

Gu Wenqing's face showed a hint of anxiety: "Advisor Chen, I was just about to tell you about this. I've lost contact with my master."

Chen Chuan hummed in agreement and asked, "What did Chief Detective Huo tell you before he left?"

Seeing that he appeared calm, Gu Wenqing, though still somewhat anxious, was somewhat relieved by his composure.

He said, "The teacher said that this time we are going to Dharagavata, where the situation is very complicated and cannot be viewed in the usual way. Communication may be interrupted at any time."

If I don't receive a handwritten letter from him within five days, then I should hide at Donggui Temple. He said someone will come looking for me to find out what's going on, and I should just tell him what I know.

His brows once again showed anxiety.

"Advisor Chen, this is the sixth day now, and I'm worried that something might have happened to the teacher."

Chen Chuanchuan said, "You don't need to worry too much about that. When doing things in Chiluojia, safety is indeed something that needs to be paid extra attention to."

However, Chief Detective Huo is very experienced and has handled numerous cases, encountering all sorts of situations. I believe there shouldn't be any major problems.

Actually, if it were just about Chiluo Jiaduo, he wouldn't be worried about Huo Zhuifeng at all. Although it was a foreign land, as long as Dongxuan Temple didn't intervene, Huo Zhuifeng's abilities meant he had nothing to fear.

The more distinct the social class in a country or society, the less likely Dongxuan Temple is to intervene. Not to mention that Chiluojiaduo is also facing an extraterrestrial invasion, and they haven't even resolved the mess left by the anomaly in the north of their own country. Where would they have the time to send someone to care about a foreign fighter in a local area?

His main concerns are the refinement and integration factions.

The region of Southeast Asia has always been regarded as their backyard, and it also has connections with foreign integration and refinement schools, making its power and influence very large.

If they discover anything, danger is certain, and the matter may become impossible to investigate further.

"What methods do you use to communicate?"

Gu Wenqing replied, "It's thanks to a pair of well-trained falcons. Mr. Kou is very good at communicating with these birds."

He always sent us a telegram beforehand, telling us where to receive the message, and then we would go there to wait. The falcon would always arrive at the designated location at the exact time. After thinking for a moment, he added, "The place the teacher goes to is not far from here. The falcon can travel between the two places in just one day, so we usually exchange information every one to two days. There has never been any accident before."

This time, however, I did not receive the telegram. I don't know if it was due to a problem with the telegram or if the Falcon encountered some mishap en route.

Chen Chuan knew that Mr. Kou was Huo Zhuifeng's assistant, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that the assistant might have problems. In the magical land of Chiluojiaduo, you can't expect everything to happen according to common sense.

He said, "In the information Chief Inspector Huo left behind, he said that he brought an assistant and three students with him this time. Where are the others now, besides you?"

Gu Wenqing said, "The three of us were afraid that getting together would cause problems, so we split into two groups. I was in one group, and my junior sister and junior brother were in another group. I was responsible for contacting the teacher, while they were responsible for investigating relevant clues."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I understand the basic situation. There's no need to rush or panic. We can take things one step at a time. Let's deal with the outside issues first. Mr. Gu, go outside and deal with the people who pose a threat to you, and also check their identities."

Gu Wenqing paused for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

He was actually better at fighting than investigating cases. He was worried about his teachers and classmates and was unaware of the situation outside, so he didn't dare to easily fight with others.

With this person in charge here, what does he have to fear?

He clenched his fist, making a cracking sound from his knuckles, nodded emphatically to Chen Chuan, and then walked out of the room.

Chen Chuan glanced at the time on the boundary marker: 12:25. He tapped the boundary marker and asked the room attendant to bring up a lunch and refreshments. Then he picked up the geography magazine and started reading.

Gu Wenqing arrived outside the inn shortly after, and the moment he stepped out, he once again felt that intense malice.

However, unlike what he had experienced before, this time, for some reason, perhaps because of the information Chen Chuan had just instilled into his consciousness, his senses became clearer and more acute. He could not only detect the source of the malice, but also know for sure that there were three people on the other side.

He could sense the location of each of the three people, their gazes and actions, their emotions, and even their malice towards him. At that moment, he felt like an all-knowing god.

He didn't delve into the root cause of all this; as an experiential thinker, his body moved faster than his mind.

He took a deep breath, and suddenly moved, rushing towards the person closest to him!

His movements didn't seem particularly fast; he was performing at the normal level of a third-limit fighter.

His chosen route was quite deliberate; it wasn't a straight line, but rather a series of zigzag movements, almost always within the blind spot of the person he was targeting.

During his journey, he saw three people begin to communicate with each other, and one of them, after observing his movements, immediately used a token to notify his companion.

He knew that the other party was using the information spillover from the hotel. Language could barely convey information, but images could not. Moreover, no matter how clearly the words were expressed, it was not easy to convert them into spatial location. At most, he could only know which direction they came from.

And that was exactly what he needed from the other party. At this moment, he felt that under the stimulation of some kind of spiritual power, the mutated tissues of his body were highly active, and his speed suddenly increased to another level. After a few steps, he stomped heavily on the ground, and with a leap, he arrived on the rooftop where his target was standing, and punched the person!
The man opposite was taken aback. He had just heard his companion's words, and before the slightly delayed words had even finished, and while he was still trying to figure out where the other person was, the person was already in front of him.

But he was a veteran of many battles, and upon seeing the enemy, his body moved before his mind could react. Instead of dodging, he threw a punch at Gu Wenqing head-on, aiming for mutual destruction.

Because there are three of them, even if he is severely injured, Gu Wenqing won't fare much better and won't be able to escape. And he believes Gu Wenqing definitely wouldn't want this to happen.

These thoughts only surfaced when his body had already thrown the punch, making him even more convinced that his choice was absolutely correct.

However, Gu Wenqing suddenly increased his speed and touched his body first. With just the touch of his fist, a force penetrated and sent him flying. He crashed into the wall behind him with a bang, leaving a dent and crack.

His chest caved in, and as he slid down, his gaze toward Gu Wenqing was filled with disbelief.

In room 503, a waiter pushed a food cart in and politely asked Chen Chuan, "Some seasonings need to be prepared on the spot. Would you like to dine now, sir?"

Chen Chuan turned a page of the magazine in his hand and said, "Wait a moment, there is still one guest who has not arrived. It will be ready in a moment."
