It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Chapter 208 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong

"Who else could it be but Morita? Out of all of us, he's the only one who knows how to set up formations."

"How do you know he's the only one who can set up an array?"

The speaker was Bat, a sonic wave user. He scanned the crowd one by one, "There are still many people here whose abilities are unknown. Who knows if someone might set up an array?"

After he said that, the others also began to have doubts.

"As far as I know, apart from Easterners, no one from other countries knows how to set up formations."

Someone said this, and all the non-Eastern people turned their attention to Zhi Du, Black Hawk, Zhao Xu, Han Xi, and Jiang Ting, who is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent.

Jiang Ting glanced at the person staring at her, snorted coldly, and with a wave of her hand, vines lashed out.

"what!"

The man was caught off guard and was struck squarely.

"Look carefully, my ability is wood, not some kind of mystical power."

Jiang Ting's move astonished everyone; her ability was actually the wood element of the Five Elements.

Black Hawk and Zhao Xu exchanged a glance, secretly thinking that once the matter at Bijin Mountain was over, they would definitely try to get closer to her and find a way to bring her back to the Bureau of Strange Affairs.

Then everyone's attention shifted from Jiang Ting to Zhi Du, Black Hawk, Zhao Xu, and Han Xi.

"Ha!" Han Xi laughed in anger. They actually doubted her. "Are you blind? It's obvious that it was that Japanese guy who did it. Instead of trying to catch him, you're causing trouble here. You all deserve to die."

"If it weren't for you, you could have demonstrated the same power as Wood."

Han Xi looked at the power user, Poli, who was speaking, and his eyes gradually turned amber, while several lines gradually appeared on his face.

A smile played on her lips. "You want to know? Then I'll grant your wish."

A bad feeling crept into Boli's heart, and he retreated step by step.

Han Xi opened her hand, her nails instantly growing longer, but just as she raised it to attack, her hand was grabbed by someone.

She slowly looked at the face of the person grabbing her arm. "Pastor Zhan, are you trying to stop me?"

Pastor Zhan released his grip, smiled, and said, "We haven't caught the person behind this yet, so it's not advisable to fight amongst ourselves; it would only weaken our fighting strength."

"Pastor James is right. We didn't mean to doubt you. After all, only you Easterners know how to use formations."

"Ms. Han, you have proven yourself, and we believe in you."

Han Xi glanced at the crowd with a mocking smile, and the changes in his features gradually disappeared, returning him to his original appearance.

Now everyone's attention was focused on Master Zhidu, Black Eagle, and Zhao Xu.

Black Hawk stood ramrod straight, hands in his pockets. "My abilities are the ones I've reported. If you have doubts, there's nothing I can do."

Zhao Xu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Me too."

Zhi Du: "This old monk knows nothing of formations."

All three of them seemed to be giving up, which made everyone even more suspicious.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it, because there's no way to prove it. If you demonstrate your abilities, they'll say you might have hidden skills.

After all, arranging formations is a kind of knowledge, not an ability that one possesses innately; it can be learned as long as one has the talent.

The reason why Jiang Ting and Han Xi were able to draw everyone's attention was not because they actually proved themselves, but because their strength made it impossible for people to look away.

"Why don't the three of you prove it?"

Zhao Xu: "None of the three of us are offensive or combat-oriented. Even if it's proven, will you believe us?"

This is practically an open accusation that you bully the weak and fear the strong.

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became very subtle, and the atmosphere became very awkward.

After a long while, Emma spoke up, "I believe they are not the ones who set up the formation."

"Why do you believe them! And what proof do you have?" the bat, a sonic wave user, asked.

Emma glanced at the bat indifferently. "Intuition!"

"What kind of evidence is this?"

"I already said it's intuition, what evidence do you need?" Emma was very unhappy; she didn't like being questioned.

"There's a very obvious suspect, yet you ignore him and waste your attention on him. Are you in cahoots with that Japanese guy?"

"Emma, ​​don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly be with the Japanese?"

"You say it's not, so you think it's not? Please prove it..."

"How can I prove it...?"

"Amitabha." Zhidu interrupted their argument. "Esteemed benefactors, I am from Xiangcheng. If anything were to happen to you here, Xiangcheng would certainly become a target of attack from around the world. Therefore, I would never do such a thing."

As he spoke, he looked at Black Hawk and Zhao Xu, "Benefactor Wu Yougong and Benefactor Wenxue Li, this old monk can also testify that they are not the ones who set up the formation."

After hearing Master Zhidu's words, everyone felt they made sense; no one would want their place to become a target of public criticism.

The same logic applies to what follows: if those two were saboteurs, Zhidu would not protect them.

"Master Zhidu, I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

"We believe what you say."

"Now that we've figured it out, our top priority is to find those two Japanese nationals."

"Yes, I remember they said they went to rescue the Onmyoji who was buried alive. Does anyone know the location of the Onmyoji who was buried alive?"

Emma twirled the umbrella in her hand. "I know, come with me!"

When everyone found the location of the landslide, they only saw Takahashi crying there, but they did not see Morita.

Before they could even ask, Takahashi rushed over and knelt down, pleading, "Please, everyone, save my master."

Everyone was completely bewildered and looked at each other in confusion.

"What happened to Morita?"

"My master has been captured by a lightning-powered individual."

Everyone was startled.

Black Hawk, Zhao Xu cursed inwardly: Shameless! This must be a frame-up.

Black Hawk coldly questioned, "Then why weren't you arrested?"

Takahashi bowed humbly to Black Hawk, "Lord Wu, my master was captured by the lightning ability user while protecting me."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeve to show everyone. It was charred black, and if you weren't a lightning ability user, you would definitely think it had been burned by fire at first glance.

But now everyone agrees that it was struck by lightning.

"Why did she kidnap your master?" Zhao Xu asked calmly, suppressing his anger. "As far as I know, lightning-powered individuals usually deal with people on the spot and don't kidnap them. Is there anything special about your master?"

Takahashi seemed unsure how to respond, frowning and thinking for a long time before shaking his head. "I don't know either."

Apart from Black Hawk, Zhao Xu, and Master Zhidu, everyone else was confused by the current situation.

"Takahashi-kun, do you know there's another formation at the foot of the mountain?" Pastor Zhan asked.

"What!" Takahashi feigned shock. "There's another formation at the foot of the mountain?"

"What should we do? Now that Master is gone, who else can break this formation?"

"If no one can break through, won't we be trapped and die here on Bijin Mountain?"

The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious; they didn't want to be trapped in this place.
