Chapter 754: Chapter 436: The Ruthless Cao Heng_2

…

Cao Heng stood at the doorway of No. 17 Qingtian Alley, looking up to survey the front gate and walls of the courtyard.

He could sense the strangeness of the magnetic field fluctuations emanating from within and was certain that something strange was present.

But the reason he did not immediately enter was that this unfamiliar environment, this newly acquired task, made him, standing here at this moment, feel an inner unease.

“What’s going on?” Cao Heng looked away, frowning in thought, “Is this place evil, or is the strangeness inside tough to deal with?”

The Aries District Exorcist team had informed him that seven hours ago, three-star Exorcist Gu Dekang had entered this address, but three hours prior, the team’s liaison had been unable to contact Gu Dekang.

It was now one o’clock in the morning.

Regardless of whether the strangeness here could be dealt with or not, Gu Dekang was supposed to report back to the team, but he had not done so.

So, there was a possibility that he had met with some accident.

For Cao Heng, he had quite an impression of Gu Dekang, who had been progressing steadily and swiftly among the exorcists, with a good control over magnetic force. The only obstacle was that he was a bit overweight.

But no one had decreed that being overweight precluded one from becoming an exorcist; the world was not lacking in agile heavyweights, although this might cause some inconvenience during certain missions.

In the entire Aries City District, Cao Heng was well aware that the highest-level events he had dealt with were two Grade B strangenesses, and they had not even been close to Grade A, let alone a real Grade A event.

And in this courtyard, the chances of a strangeness that could create a Grade A event were virtually zero.

However, virtually zero did not mean there was no chance, so he had to be vigilant and cautious.

The possibility that Gu Dekang had not made a sound, had neither left nor been able to send a message to the team liaison, might have already indicated the level of danger involved.

The courtyard gate was ajar, showing that Gu Dekang had indeed gone inside.

Cao Heng pushed the gate and entered. His gaze swept quickly around the courtyard, taking in the surrounding environment before heading in the direction of Zhou Wenfei’s residence.

The sense of the strange magnetic field was coming from this side, and no abnormalities were detected from the side where Zhou Wenfei’s parents’ bedroom was, so Cao Heng decided not to waste time.

The magnetic knife in his hand was short, with double edges, which strictly speaking, made it closer to a dagger.

However, once the magnetic glow was activated, the length of the Magnetic Blade could instantly triple in length, a special creation by Wan Shouguang of the Huaying Exorcist Brigade for him.

Arriving at the door of the house, Cao Heng did not turn on his flashlight but pushed open the living room door and didn’t immediately enter. Instead, he stood at the doorway, observing the movements within.

Cao Heng had excellent vision, especially in darkness. Typically, a person’s eyes need some time to adjust when moving from a well-lit place to a dark area, but Cao Heng did not have this problem; he could almost immediately adjust to the darkness and see more clearly than others.

The room’s furnishings appeared quite normal, but in the middle of the living room, there were four chairs positioned in front of the coffee table.

Three chairs were aligned side by side, with one chair behind them. These three chairs were facing away from the one behind.

On the floor in front of the rear chair, there could be seen some dark liquid.

“Is that… blood?” Cao Heng’s gaze sharpened, scrutinizing carefully and guessing there was a seventy percent chance that the dark liquid on the floor was blood.

He still did not enter, taking another look around instead. The bedroom door further away was open, but the scene inside was unknown.

Cao Heng spread his magnetic force sensation wide, finding every part of the room permeated with a strange magnetic field, but he could not pinpoint where the field was strongest.

He hesitated slightly, then threw the Magnetic Blade in his hand. Held aloft by magnetic force, the blade trembled slightly in mid-air, emitting a buzzing sound as it hovered into the living room.

When it arrived near the four chairs, the Magnetic Blade suddenly vibrated and lost control, falling to the ground.

Cao Heng’s expression turned to surprise. After ensuring there was no danger, he walked into the living room, his left hand poised over two Hidden Buckles, one High-Energy Chilling and one Super-Energy Burst.

The High-Energy Chilling was a newly developed high-power level Hidden Buckle, which increased the particle freeze effect on Strange Bodies based on the original Chilling Hidden Buckle and shortened the freezing time.

The Super-Energy Burst was a precaution in case the opposition proved too fierce; Cao Heng would only throw it out in a dire emergency.

Approaching the chairs, he crouched to pick up the Magnetic Blade, glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and was about to move over when he suddenly felt the world spin.

Cao Heng was taken aback and immediately clasped the handle of the Magnetic Blade with his right hand, flicking his finger. The Magnetic Blade left his grasp to hover again but did not move far from his palm, making it easy to catch upon falling.

The dizzy feeling grew stronger, and Cao Heng dared not make any sudden moves.

After hovering, the tip of the Magnetic Blade swung slightly, stabilizing after a few seconds beside the living room sofa.

Cao Heng immediately threw the High-Energy Chilling Hidden Buckle in that direction.

With a loud thud, what had been an empty space by the side of the sofa suddenly revealed the figure of a woman. The moment she appeared, she was engulfed by the bursting Chilling Hidden Buckle, her dark figure turning white.

The chill emitted by the High-Energy Chilling Hidden Buckle turned the living room momentarily into a cave of ice, piercing cold penetrating Cao Heng’s clothes and causing him to break out in goosebumps.
