To be more specific, Su Jie, Tong Fei, and Gu Shushu have already completed four missions. (Google search for more information)

As the most senior members of the team, thanks to the equipment Zhang Lang had given them and their own excellent qualities, the three of them were doing quite well. They had a great harvest in the last mission, with each of them getting more than one enhancement, making them among the best of the sacrifices.

However, Zhang Lang was well aware of the importance of the sacrificial stage, so this time he also traded Karl's rifle and the Dragon Shield to them.

Tong Fei already has Bai Hong, so he gave the two items this time to the two girls.

As a mage, Gu Shushu's defense was lacking, so she obtained the Dragon Shield. Su Jie, on the other hand, had armor but insufficient attack power, so she naturally received Karl's rifle.

"Before advancing your hero, make sure to obtain as many enhancements as possible, especially attribute enhancements—don't miss out on any!"

The newcomers kept Zhang Lang's advice in mind.

Besides educating newcomers, Zhang Lang also contacted Wang Defa when he had time.

This experience made Zhang Lang realize that he needed a large number of storage cards to convert the excess points into the strength of his teammates as much as possible.

Although he could become stronger, Zhang Lang doesn't have the ability to be in two places at once, so he can't take care of multiple things at once during missions. If his teammates become stronger, they can help him complete the missions better, allowing him to unleash his full potential and tackle the difficult challenges.

Memory cards, as a rare enhancement, are highly sought after in Hero-level battles, but they hold little appeal for most sacrifices. Their main purpose is to be sold for points and more needed enhancements. Therefore, Wang Defa has been collecting these for years, even developing several downlines to help him acquire them.

After getting to know him better, Zhang Lang discovered that Wang Defa had a very extensive network of connections. As the only unscrupulous merchant at the altar, he had recruited a group of ordinary merchants as his subordinates. Many of these merchants had also formed their own associations, and the trading network covered hundreds of altars and thousands of offerings, with a considerable stockpile of various resources.

After receiving the commission, he directly arranged to meet Zhang Lang and gave him three memory cards.

Zhang Lang hadn't expected things to go so smoothly and didn't have the money to pay immediately. Wang Defa, however, said it didn't matter and that he could pay on credit later when he had the funds.

However, three was definitely not enough for him. Coincidentally, summer vacation started this month, so Zhang Lang went to Donghai City again to talk to Ning Yi.

There are definitely some Broken Swords in stock, but Ning Yi isn't as "sensible" as Wang Defa. To get the Broken Sword reward, he has to help out.

Since he had nothing better to do, Zhang Lang rented a house in Donghai and lived there for a while.

As the most prosperous city in the Eastern Continent, Donghai has a permanent population of over 20 million, and with the floating population, it probably exceeds 30 million. In addition, it has advanced facilities, many opportunities, and is the headquarters of the Broken Sword, attracting many reincarnators to live here.

With so many reincarnated beings, various supernatural events naturally occur from time to time. In the eyes of ordinary people, this manifests as various urban legends.

Minor incidents that happen occasionally and are quickly resolved are fine, but if they are more serious, even causing injury or death and endangering public safety, the Broken Sword will definitely take action.

However, since the opponents are usually reincarnators with all sorts of unique abilities, the Broken Sword must investigate and analyze each incident before selecting an agent skilled in dealing with it. If the wrong person is sent, not only will the incident be difficult to resolve, but the agent himself may even be killed.

Having Zhang Lang makes things much easier. Sending him is always a good choice, no matter the type of mission. After all, he was able to defeat even Higashikawa Shuichi, and according to Fumino's description, he won quite easily… He's at least a former sect leader level expert!

However, Ning Yi also knew that Zhang Lang was not easy to persuade. He wouldn't be asked to handle ordinary small cases. He would only be entrusted with some high-risk cases where there were no suitable people to handle them.

To be honest, Zhang Lang didn't really have much experience fighting in the main world. It wasn't as simple as just holding back his power; how to avoid attracting attention, how to evade surveillance, and how to accurately eliminate targets in busy urban areas were all skills in themselves.

He treated the tasks he received here like a game, accumulating experience while having a great time.

However, this time it's really tough on the non-returning residents of Donghai City...

At midnight, a light rain was falling in Jiangbei District of Donghai City. In a dimly lit alley, two young girls were hiding behind a trash can, waiting quietly.

"Xiaojing, the organization has said we don't need to worry about this mission anymore. Should we just give up?"

One of the girls with bangs whispered, "After all, Jiaying sacrificed herself here..."

"I'm doing this for Jiaying!" Another girl with a high ponytail said, "Xiaorui, do you remember? The three of us swore to share joys and sorrows. Now that Jiaying has died under mysterious circumstances, as her friend, even if I don't have the ability to avenge her, I must expose the true face of that midnight killer."

"Shh..." Xiao Rui with bangs suddenly made a shushing gesture: "My detection spirit is reacting, something is approaching... This reaction doesn't seem like that of an ordinary pedestrian!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaojing with the high ponytail also became cautious. She used a skill to conceal the two of them and waited quietly.

Soon, heavy footsteps came from the alley entrance, and shortly after, a tall figure wearing a full raincoat slowly walked in.

"Is it him?" The two girls hiding under the barrier tensed up.

They were merely sacrifices. Although they had received considerable enhancements and were quite strong, and had successfully joined the Broken Sword, they lacked experience in solving real-world cases. Now, encountering the murderer who killed their companions, they were inevitably somewhat apprehensive.

"Midnight Killer" was the nickname given to him by Broken Sword, but in reality, none of his victims died at midnight.

What initially caught the attention of the Broken Sword was the bizarre death of a Reincarnator agent who, one day, was not summoned by his organization and was killed in a car accident on the street.

This made the Broken Sword realize something was wrong, because this reincarnator had super-speed reaction ability and it was basically impossible for him to be hit by a vehicle in the city. Moreover, his earth attribute was not low, so even if he was involved in a car accident, he would at most suffer superficial injuries and should not die such a terrible death!

The Broken Sword managed to get hold of his corpse, only to find that there were no fatal wounds on the body of this reincarnator. Yet he was dead, as if he hadn't been hit by a car but had his soul ripped out!

Next, after investigation, Broken Sword linked this incident to several recent accidental deaths in the Jiangbei District of Donghai. According to the families of these victims, the deceased suddenly became listless and dull one day, and then died inexplicably in an accident...

The only thing these victims had in common was that they had all passed through a small alley around midnight…
