Zhang Lang could easily understand the meaning behind his words, and immediately asked, "What mission? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Are you willing to help?" Ning Yi feigned surprise. "To be honest, your high magic resistance will definitely be of great use in this mission... But I wonder how well you've recovered? After all, according to what Lord Zeus said before, it's already a miracle that you're even standing before me now."

Zhang Lang sneered, "Although Zeus is known as the strongest of the Shen tribe, he is not omniscient or omnipotent. I have fully recovered; otherwise, why would I dare to cause trouble for Luo Wei?"

"That's good!" Ning Yi nodded. At this moment, he instructed Ding Min, who had just brewed tea, to bring over a document from his desk.

"This is the mission information." Ning Yi handed the document to Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang glanced at it; the title was "Investigation Report on Sangqi Town".

The first page contains several photos. The first one is an aerial view of a small town, and the following photos show the town's main facilities.

The town is small, with only one main street, a shopping mall, a train station, a hospital, and two schools. One is a primary school, and the other is a combined junior and senior high school; students who want to go to university have to go to a bigger city.

Below is a general introduction to the town: Kuwasaki Town is a small town located in Aiyu County, south of Yingzhou Island. It has a total population of less than 40,000. It is bordered by Mount Kuwasaki to the west and crosses a river called the Sangtu River to the east. In ancient times, sericulture was its main industry, and its silk products were renowned far and wide…

"It looks like just an ordinary small town." Zhang Lang looked up at Ning Yi.

"Yes, at least a few years ago, this place was indeed very ordinary." Ning Yi looked at the photo and sighed slightly.

"As the homeland of the vast majority of reincarnators, the main world is the world most closely connected with the altar."

"Although the rules of the altar try to prevent the secular world from understanding it, with more than ten thousand reincarnators living here, it is inevitable that some of the altar's power will leak into the main world, causing adverse effects. This is also the source of the occasional supernatural tales that appear around the world."

"Our mission, the Broken Sword, is to resolve these troubles and maintain a peaceful and stable state in the main world."

Zhang Lang recalled the guy he had met on the train before, the one who had been dealt with by the Broken Sword, the one who was vomiting blood in the toilet.

"For example, dealing with out-of-control reincarnators?"

Ning Yi smiled and said, "Dealing with reincarnators who abuse their power is our most common and simplest task... But those are basically sacrifices or weak heroes. Once they become stronger and come into contact with more of the altar's power, the reincarnators will actually pay more attention to the main world and try not to cause trouble."

"Lowe is the best proof. Even someone as ruthless as him doesn't want to make a big splash in the main world."

"However, this one is much more troublesome than that mischievous reincarnator." Ning Yi said, pointing to the report in Zhang Lang's hand.

Zhang Lang frowned slightly and continued turning the page, finding a long list on the second page with the following title:

"The list of people missing in Kuwasaki Town has now been confirmed."

Missing? Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow and scanned the list. There were more than 400 people on one full page. Scrolling back, there were more than a dozen pages of lists, probably exceeding 5,000 people in total.

So many people have gone missing in this small town? This is no simple incident; it should have made the news long ago and caused panic in the area.

"I know what you're wondering," Ning Yi said with a smile. "That's also why we find it tricky."

"In fact, a month ago, we had no idea what was strange about this town. We discovered that something was wrong with this place because of the disappearance of a reincarnator."

"To be precise, we didn't even notice this reincarnator's disappearance at first. The reason we realized something was wrong was because this missing person's teammate participated in a mission limited to ten people, but only nine of them entered the mission, and these nine people couldn't remember that there was a tenth teammate!"

"Cognitive masking?" Zhang Lang frowned.

"This power is very troublesome." Ning Yi took a sip of tea. "So these nine people sought help from the Broken Sword. After our investigation, we discovered that the missing reincarnator was a resident of this town."

"Subsequently, we began investigating the town and gradually discovered its strangeness... This list of over five thousand people was deduced by us using the power of the altar, through various illogical signs in reality. Because everyone who disappears in the town has their existence erased, and even their closest relatives cannot remember them, we simply cannot verify the number of more people. The actual number of missing persons should be far higher than this!"

At this point, Ning Yi turned back to the first page of the document, saying, "We even suspect that the population figures in the official introduction of this town have been altered; the town originally had far more than 40,000 people!"

Zhang Lang flipped through the list; the next page detailed the investigation process for these missing persons, including categorization and analysis, attempting to find patterns through their occupations, experiences, ages, education levels, and what they did before their disappearances. However, after several pages of analysis, no substantial results were found.

The only thing these people had in common was that they were all connected to this town; they were either natives or had never left the town after visiting it.

Zhang Lang continued flipping through the pages and finally found the investigation results regarding the cause of the disappearance.

"An evil spirit?"

Zhang Lang glanced at Ning Yi, then pointed to the report's conclusion, saying, "After the reincarnation of the Broken Sword intervened in the investigation, it was discovered that a large number of spirits inhabit the town, and it is initially suspected that the disappearances were caused by evil spirits?"

"This is the only unusual thing we can find in the town," Ning Yi replied.

"But an evil spirit's attack only kills people; it wouldn't make those around them forget that person even existed." Zhang Lang looked at Ning Yi: "This is clearly the ability to erase existence, involving the distortion of reality and cognition... It's no longer within the scope of an evil spirit."

"Ordinary evil spirits certainly couldn't..." Ning Yi shook his head and said, "But if a town harbors tens of thousands of powerful evil spirits, and they devour each other, constantly growing stronger, wouldn't it eventually be like raising a venomous insect, giving birth to an exceptionally powerful being?"

"Quantitative change leads to qualitative change?" Zhang Lang stroked his chin. He didn't know much about evil spirits and couldn't judge whether what Ning Yi said was possible.

"In short, we, the Shattered Sword, cannot stand idly by in the face of a supernatural event of this scale..." Ning Yi said solemnly. "Currently, I have already dispatched an elite team to Sangqi Town. All members of the team have experience in handling spiritual events and are capable of dealing with evil spirits. Among them, there are also three hero-level members!"

"Normally, such a formidable lineup should be enough to deal with all the evil spirits in the real world... but for some reason, I still feel uneasy. If an expert like you were willing to help, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to us!"

"I can help," Zhang Lang nodded, "but we can't leave until tomorrow at the earliest."

Tonight, he will also attend Wang Defa's rally.

"No problem." Ning Yi immediately instructed Ding Min to book a flight for tomorrow, and at the same time took out a document for Zhang Lang: "This is the list of the teams currently investigating in Sangqi Town. It has their photos, names, altar code names, and special abilities... Oh, and there are some people you know on this list."

"Someone I know?" Zhang Lang took the file and saw that the third person listed was a high school girl with bangs and long, straight black hair, named Matsumoto Fumino...
