The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

An Changqing strode over to ask for the report, while Long Ao impatiently reached out his hand from the side.

"Show me the results right now."

Yin Chen raised his head and looked at the crowd in front of him, then began to read the words aloud.

"It has been confirmed that the detector successfully detected the coffin's DNA on the charred fabric."

Su Yuehe eagerly pressed for more details.

"What else is included?"

Yin Chen looked at the report and continued reading the remaining conclusions.

"The target disappeared completely after being subjected to a violent impact, and no trace of life was detected at the scene."

Long Ao stepped forward and snatched the report from Yin Chen's hand.

"That's pure nonsense."

He flipped the report to the last page to see the conclusion.

"What does it mean to completely disappear? What does it mean to not detect any life signs? If your broken machines can't detect anything, just say they can't detect anything. Why write such an absurd conclusion as 'confirmed death' on paper?"

The inspector was so frightened that he stepped back to create some distance, fearing that the person in front of him might suddenly attack.

"Young Master Long, this is the result generated automatically by the machine; it's the final judgment given by scientific instruments!"

Long Ao slammed the report in his hand back at the other person's chest with such force that the person staggered a couple of steps.

An Changqing reached out and caught the falling report steadily in mid-air. The white paper was quickly wetted by the rain, but the black ink printed on it was still clearly visible.

He stared at the conclusion for a long time until Su Yuehe slowly walked to his side and called out softly.

"Evergreen".

An Changqing slammed the report in his hand shut.

"Leave all personnel behind to continue the search."

Yin Chen looked at him and reminded him again.

"The official autopsy report regarding the death has been released."

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Chen Guan was already dead, and that was something that did not need to be repeatedly proven.

Now is a time when there is a shortage of manpower, and he has forcibly mobilized too many people.

An Changqing looked up to meet his gaze without flinching in the slightest.

"I just said to continue searching here."

The person in charge looked embarrassed and began to explain.

"It's not that we're unwilling to contribute; the entire core area of ​​the ruins has been thoroughly examined by various equipment several times."

Long Ao stared at him without saying a word. Under immense pressure, the person in charge wiped his sweat, nodded, and ran off to do as instructed.

Hong Yuan straightened up from the ground and grabbed the giant axe beside her.

Seeing her movements, Su Yuehe hurriedly asked, "Hongyuan, where are you planning to go?"

Hongyuan raised her rough hands and vigorously wiped the rain off her face.

"I'm going to investigate the demon race in the Northern Territory."

Long Ao then stood up from the muddy water.

"I'll go with you."

An Changqing turned around and tried to stop the two of them.

But Hongyuan dodged him, and she looked at him with her axe in hand.

"I am very calm now and I am not impulsive at all. I know that with my current strength, I am no match for the entire massive demon race. So I plan to investigate the clues first. Once I find out who is hiding behind the scenes and killed Chen Guan, I will write their name down forever."

Su Yuehe called out her name with concern.

"Red Kite".

Red Kite hoisted the heavy giant axe back onto her shoulder, the icy rain dripping down the sharp blade.

"I have now made a lasting commitment to the blood feud that the demon race owes us. In the future, no matter who is found out who killed Chen Guan, I will do everything in my power to make them pay for their crimes in blood."

She didn't understand what Yin Chen was saying; all she knew was that someone had killed her friend.

Long Ao strode to her side and clenched his fist, which was covered in bulging veins.

"Count me in on the list of those seeking revenge."

An Changqing looked down at the cold test report in his hand, and after a long time, he spoke in a low voice.

"I'm on this list too."

Yin Chen turned to gaze into the darkness at the deepest part of the ruins, somewhat moved by Hong Yuan's persistence, and promised, "The on-site search and rescue here will never stop, and the pursuit of clues outside will never cease."

Su Yuehe picked up her phone again: "Mother, I need the intelligence that the council has collected regarding all the recent unusual movements of the demon race."

A somber voice came from the other end: "Yuehe, are you really sure you want to do this?"

Su Yuehe looked at the charred cloth sealed in a transparent bag.

"I am absolutely certain."

Hong Yuan turned and stepped out of the yellow warning line, dragging her heavy axe across the muddy, waterlogged ground, leaving a long trail of water on the edge of the collapsed ruins of Shanghai.

She strode forward into the raging wind and rain.

"Let's start by investigating the demon race in the northern border."

……

Meanwhile, Chen Guan was unaware that the lack of signal on his end had triggered a bloodbath outside.

At this moment, Chen Guan and Guan Jinyue left the Ice Crystal Altar. The huge bear king ice sculpture behind them was swallowed up by the wind and snow again. The dark opening shrank smaller and smaller between the gray and white world until it turned into a blurry shadow.

Guan Jinyue walked ahead, letting her long silver hair fly backward in the wind. Her steps were much lighter than when she came, and even though the cold wind in the North was still biting, it dispelled the heaviness on her body.

Chen Guan glanced at her and casually put his hands into his pockets.

"Miss Guan seems to be in a good mood?"

Guan Jinyue raised her hand to press down the ends of her hair that had been ruffled by the wind.

"Um."

After waiting for a while and seeing no further developments, Chen Guan chuckled.

"Just one, huh?"

Guan Jinyue paused for a moment, thought carefully, and then continued walking forward.

"Xiao Heng is safe now, and I can finally focus on taking you to the icy sea."

The black mark on Chen Guan's right palm radiated a subtle warmth amidst the wind and snow, causing his skin to turn slightly red.

When he slowed his pace, closed his eyes, and then opened them again, the world around him seemed completely different to his senses.

The wind is still the wind, and the snow is still the snow.

The bears hiding behind the ice slope in the distance were no longer just a few blurry spots in his eyes.

Their emotions have colors, weights, warmth, and even different flavors.

Some of the emotions were hard and brittle like frozen iron, and filled with resentment.

Some emotions were mixed with resentment as deep as the mud at the bottom of a ditch, yet they dared not step forward.

A few faint emotions, tinged with fear, lingered far behind them.

Chen Guan raised his right hand and waved his palm at the distant wind and snow. The aura hidden in the shadows immediately dissipated and faded away.

Guan Jinyue noticed his movements.

"Is someone else following us?"

"Yes, but they don't want to fight anymore. They probably just want to know where we're going. However, they're not too brave to follow us." Chen Guan put his hands back in his pockets.

Guan Jinyue looked up at the gloomy sky, assuming it was because of the icy sea.

"That's normal. The icy sea is also a forbidden zone for the demon race in the northern border. They would never take a step more than they can avoid."

Chen Guan felt the warmth in his palm gradually stabilizing.

"I used to only be able to smell murderous intent, but now I can distinguish many other things."

Barr made a mocking sound in his mind.
