Public Security Bureau.
"Team Leader Chen, these two are my senior classmates, Li Hongyi and Yang Xi."
"That's what Xiao Liu from the security department explained."
"I've heard so much about you, and I'm so glad to finally have you here," Captain Chen said excitedly.
The other security personnel also looked at Li Hongyi, many with a look of admiration in their eyes.
Ordinary people may not know this, but they are well aware that Li Hongyi has the ability to subdue monsters and is unpredictable.
"With two of them taking action, that lurking monster will surely be captured easily, and our new district will be at peace," the security guards said excitedly.
"Six, you're good." Captain Chen quietly gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Liu scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "It was my senior who heard about the ghostly disturbances and came to help. I haven't even said anything yet."
Team Leader Chen's expression turned serious, and he saluted: "Chen Youzhi, along with all the security personnel from the branch bureau, welcomes the leaders to come and assist us."
Li Hongyi returned the greeting, her expression serious: "Let me first tell you about the current situation."
"According to our investigation, there are currently two strange entities: one is an insect-like creature, and the other can affect brainwaves. The exact nature of the problem is still unclear."
Team Leader Chen recounted, "We have now captured Wu Yun, who has turned into a zombie, and found Li Dashan's body. We have also developed a new type of insect repellent that can protect residents from mosquitoes."
"Good news, do these insect repellents have any side effects?" Yang Xi asked.
"It causes headaches, but the symptoms will subside in two hours, similar to a normal insect repellent," Chen Youzhi said. "It mainly contains ingredients that resurrect mosquitoes, which can repel them. Chen Ming, please explain in detail."
Chen Ming stepped forward: "The mosquitoes that have turned into zombies are called mosquito people. Mosquito people are far superior to mutated blood-sucking mosquitoes. In front of these mosquito people, blood-sucking mosquitoes almost lose their ability to fly."
The second one is the blood-sucking mosquito component I extracted from insect eggs, which can effectively attract mosquitoes. We have already conducted experiments and killed tens of thousands of blood-sucking mosquitoes.
Li Hongyi nodded: "You guys are very capable. What about the other monster?"
"There are no clues yet, but we know that it can affect brainwaves and control the human brain."
Chen Ming looked worried: "We captured some of them before, but they had already lost their activity. There were no related items in the homes of the new victims."
Li Hongyi pondered and said, "What affects brainwaves should be ghosts, also known as spiritual entities. They prey on others through mediums, and what you captured before was the medium."
"Why is there no media outlet in the new victim's home?" Chen Ming asked.
"It may be taken back, or it may be transferred."
Li Hongyi explained, "The medium is just their means of hunting, just like we set a trap to lure prey, and after it's done, we take the trap and retrieve the prey."
"I see. So how should we search for it?" Chen Youzhi asked.
"I suggest we split into two teams now, one to handle the mosquitoes and the other to track down the ghosts."
Li Hongyi said, "I know more about ghosts, but you know the most about mosquitoes. How about you take charge of the mosquitoes?"
"No problem," Chen Youzhi quickly replied. "We really don't have any good solutions for dealing with ghosts; we don't have a single clue."
"I'm lucky, I've already got some clues," Li Hongyi said.
"Really? No wonder you're the leader, you already have a lead as soon as you arrive." The security guards exclaimed with delight.
"Boss, this is our mission plan."
Chen Youzhi took out the plan and handed it over: "We plan to spray insect repellent throughout the city, leaving a no-man's-land where we will spray insect attractant to lure mosquitoes and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"This plan is excellent," Li Hongyi said.
"But I still have a worry," Chen Youzhi said solemnly. "Whether it's Li Dashan or Wu Yun, they are just mosquito people. There has never been a clue about their creator."
"Whether they are ghosts or the creators of mosquitoes, they are all hunting for prey."
Li Hongyi said, "Once all the mosquitoes are wiped out, it will lose its prey and will inevitably show itself. I am more worried about the third monster."
"The third one?" Chen Youzhi's expression shifted. "You mean, the monster that killed Mosquito Man Li Dashan?"
"Yes, although the video is blurry, according to your records, this monster has a physical form and is not a ghost."
The nearby surveillance cameras were intact and did not capture the deceased fisherman on camera.
Li Hongyi pointed to the surveillance footage: "It's not a murderer, nor is it the creator of mosquitoes. If it were, it wouldn't have killed Mosquito Man."
"The third monster vanished as if it had evaporated after killing the Mosquito Man, and hasn't committed any further crimes," Chen Youzhi continued. "We have absolutely no leads now."
"Hmm, have there been any victims recently, or people with questionable behavior?" Li Hongyi asked.
"Only the Mosquito Man committed the crime. Six of them turned into zombies. Three were killed, one was captured alive, and two are still at large."
"That's settled then. Yang Xi and I will go ahead and investigate the ghosts. You guys are responsible for tracking the Mosquito People and clearing out a no-man's-land. If you find any other clues, please let us know immediately."
"Yes."
……
District 19.
"What's wrong with releasing animals to accumulate merit? You just don't want me to become a Buddha."
"I've said it countless times, it was the Bodhisattva who told me to release the animals, what's it to you?"
"If you don't have anything to do with public order, go catch mosquitoes or those fishermen. What do you want from me?"
"Why can't I release the animals? You can stop me, but you can't stop my heart."
"Get out, get out, you're not welcome in my house."
Bang
Li Hongyi and Yang Xi were directly forced out.
Looking at the closed door, Yang Xi's face turned pale: "Sister, how can you tolerate someone like this?"
"Let's go." Li Hongyi turned and left, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the first floor.
"Sis, she's got a problem, just arrest her and take her back," Yang Xi said indignantly.
"Shut up, listen carefully." Li Hongyi made a shushing gesture.
Yang Xi quickly remained silent, and the faint voice of the woman releasing animals emanated from Li Hongyi:
"Bodhisattva, I'm going to release animals downstream tonight. They'll never expect that."
"Bodhisattva, please unleash your divine punishment and strike those who eat meat and kill living beings to death! They are filled with sin..."
Yang Xi's eyes widened: "Is this guy crazy? Did he go mad from praying to Buddha?"
"What if she really saw the Bodhisattva?" Li Hongyi said softly.
"Really... wait, brainwave interference?" Yang Xi was about to retort when she suddenly thought of the ghost's abilities: "She's being targeted?"
"It is evolving and understanding our world, just like those five fishermen who could have just eaten it, but they were brought back and only took action recently."
Li Hongyi calmly analyzed, "These strange creatures just don't understand our way of life, which doesn't mean they're stupid."
"When they first appeared, they didn't understand our world and continued to hunt in the same way as before; but after being here for so long, they can't be so stupid as to not understand us."
Li Hongyi slowly said, "Now there is a person who can provide food every day, so that it can be full at one meal and full at every other meal, and it can still distinguish between them."
Yang Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Shall we wait downstream tonight?"
"Hmm, we'll stake out the location tonight and see if it's the medium or the real thing... wait a minute."
Li Hongyi walked out of the residential area, then suddenly stopped and looked at the garbage truck by the roadside: "Come with me."
