The call came from other members of the guild, saying that Lao Shu and several others had been missing for a day. They had tried every possible way, whether by phone or the Internet, but still could not contact the two people.

"Brother Hou, something might have happened to the rats. We found these people missing in the middle of last night and they didn't come back all day today. I thought there was a problem with the connection." The younger brother who reported the matter couldn't help but whispered.

In fact, except Hou Cheng, the remaining twenty people in the guild are also divided into small groups. The seven or eight people headed by Lao Shu are one small group, and there are another five or six people in an opposing small group. The rest are all people who don't interfere with each other. Only Lao Shu and the man named A Kuan who called him don't get along with each other on a daily basis.

Hou Cheng knew the whole thing very well, but he generally wouldn't interfere in his younger brothers' affairs. These people could make trouble, but as long as they didn't cause trouble for him and he didn't have to clean up their mess, he wouldn't care about anything else.

Now that A Kuan has called, who knows if he is trying to put pressure on people while the mouse is not around.

"It's not the first time that mice have been running out to play. But you, who usually doesn't do anything, why do you have the time to care about mice?"

Who in the guild doesn't know that Lao Shu is competing with A Kuan for the position of vice-president? Both of them are C-level hunters, and both are expected to reach B-level next year. Besides, it seems that the two of them have had a grudge since they entered the guild, but they dare not tear each other apart openly because Hou Cheng is always there to keep them in check. In fact, they are fighting fiercely in private. A Kuan was almost caught by the Security Bureau some time ago, and it seemed that Lao Shu was behind it. Hou Cheng even cancelled Lao Shu's performance for three months because of this. For this, Lao Shu hated A Kuan and his gang.

Ah Kuan called Hou Cheng because he really wanted to make trouble for the other party while Lao Shu was away, but when Lao Shu left, he took another psychic under his command with him. That person was from the same hometown as Lao Shu, and although he belonged to the same faction, he had a good relationship with Lao Shu in private. It just so happened that Ah Kuan had a mission that required a psychic, and now that the person was away, he naturally had to run to Hou Cheng to complain.

"Brother Hou, we both know what kind of person Rat is. I can ignore other things, but he has been taking my people away for a day. I need people right now, so of course I suspect he did it on purpose."

"You can ask someone else to call him. He might get angry and not answer the phone after seeing it's from you." Hou Cheng yawned. It seemed that he relaxed after knowing it was A Kuan calling, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.

"No one else picked up the phone either, so I suspected that Lao Shu must be hiding something from us. I heard from the people on the team that he seemed to have mentioned that there would be a lucrative job soon, but he was being very secretive. In addition, several people on his team went out yesterday and haven't come back since."

"Wait, the rat people haven't come back yet?" Hou Cheng also felt that something was wrong at this moment.

A Kuan on the other end of the phone replied, "Two people we sent out yesterday afternoon didn't come back. Later, Lao Shu went out in the afternoon. It seemed that he disappeared in the middle of yesterday night. Now there are only three D-level guys left on his side. He took away all the people above C-level." A Kuan was not worried about Lao Shu's whereabouts. He was more worried about whether Lao Shu was making a fortune in silence, so he couldn't let him succeed.

Hou Cheng did not reply immediately. Just when A Kuan was about to ask further questions, he suddenly heard a woman's scream from the phone.

"who are you……"

Then he felt Hou Cheng's breathing become rapid, and the phone was not hung up immediately. Instead, it was more like it was hit heavily on the ground with a "bang" sound.

Then there was a sound of footsteps, among which one could also hear Hou Cheng's roar and the sound of violent collisions.

Ah Kuan was clutching the phone with a horrified expression on his face. He was still unable to wrap his mind around the matter and only felt that the noise inside had lasted for six or seven minutes. Finally, he heard Hou Cheng's low murmur, "You...you actually dare...who are you?" However, due to the distance between them, Ah Kuan had no way of hearing all the conversation clearly. However, he could vaguely hear a voice that did not belong to Hou Cheng.

Hou Cheng lives above his office. Their guild has three floors in total, with the first and second floors being the guild offices. Only the third floor is Hou Cheng's personal residence, a four-bedroom, two-living-room house of over 200 square meters. Hou Cheng put a lot of thought into building this building in the first place.

Hou Cheng usually lives here alone, and occasionally his lover comes to spend the night. The most important thing is that electricity bills have been rising recently, and those who could have stayed in the office overnight have been driven away by Hou Cheng. The air conditioning in the office is only for use during the day.

Therefore, usually after the guild got off work, Hou Cheng was the only one left in the building. The dormitory that Hou Cheng arranged for the guild members was at least seven or eight kilometers away from here, a little bit away from the inner circle center. After all, the housing prices there were cheaper.

There was a busy tone on the phone at this time. In the end, A Kuan only heard Hou Cheng's furious voice. The busy tone was mixed with a strange "rustling" sound, which was more like the sound of some reptile rubbing on the floor, which made people's scalp tingle.

On the other hand, at the "Success Guild", Hou Cheng rushed back to the bedroom immediately after hearing his lover's scream.

The first scene that caught my eye was the lover lying on the ground, and I couldn't tell whether he was dead or alive.

Hou Cheng was able to sit on the position of guild president not just by talking to his brother-in-law, but as a B-level psychic, his strength should not be underestimated.

The moment his whole body trembled slightly, the supernatural power gathered in his palms, and in an instant a powerful force burst out from Hou Cheng's hands.

The powerful mental force made Gu Tongwan and Yan Fan in the house feel that the coercive force was tightly entangling them.

The two had originally planned to end the battle quickly. When Hou Cheng activated his supernatural power and caused the entire wall to begin to vibrate, Gu Tongwan had already shot the sleeve arrow in his hand at Hou Cheng.

However, Hou Cheng was very fast. In just a moment, a dirt wall was erected in front of Hou Cheng. The floor tiles were pulled up to block the front. He used his special powers perfectly.

"ding dong"

After a crisp sound, the arrow of the social animal fell to the ground, and the twelve ice cones on Yan Fan's side were ready to attack Hou Cheng from the side.

Gu Tongwan took advantage of Yan Fan's attack to release the blood vine immediately, but her mental power was used to control the blood vine and only needed to restrain Hou Cheng's actions.

In fact, when she came up, Gu Tongwan discovered that she and Yan Fan had very good luck today. With the help of the blood vines, she sensed that there were only two people in the house, which meant that there were no other psychics here tonight. If they could get rid of Hou Cheng first, the "Success Guild" would immediately become a mess. Then they could "divert the trouble to others" and leave some clues pointing to the "Church of Light". Then no one in the Success Guild would find out that she and Yan Fan were the real culprits.

When the twelve ice cones hit Hou Cheng, he moved quickly. He flipped his palm and actually conjured up clods of earth of different shapes and sizes to resist.

Hou Cheng yelled angrily: "Who are you? Who sent you here?" Hou Cheng was on the verge of going berserk, his eyes slightly red. He didn't care whether his lover was killed or not. He cared more about who dared to provoke him. Countless speculations and possibilities flashed through his mind at this moment, but the situation was chaotic at the moment. The two men in black could only be identified as a man and a woman based on their figures, but judging from their abilities and coordination, at least one of them was at the same level as himself or even had abilities above his.

Damn it! If I had known, I would not have let the others go back to the dormitory. Otherwise, he would be left alone to face the attack, which would be a bit overwhelming.

The guild is about two kilometers away from the nearby security bureau, but the weather was hot some time ago, and two of the surveillance cameras he installed near his company broke down. The surveillance cameras in the block were also broken for a long time and no one had a break.

All the unfavorable factors pointed to his side. Hou Cheng could only find a way to delay the two men first, then escape through the window, run all the way south, and try to get to the Security Bureau.

But when Hou Cheng was thinking about these things, Gu Tongwan had already guessed his thoughts. With a thought in his mind, the blood vine that had been rubbing on the ground had already climbed onto Hou Cheng's wrist.

"What is that!" Hou Cheng suddenly felt a brutal force wrapping around his wrist, but soon the questioning sound turned into a cry of pain.

Seeing this, Gu Tongwan shouted in a low voice: "Yan Fan, do it!"

Yan Fan's movements were also very quick. He first used two ice cones to accurately hit Hou Cheng's wrists. In the instant he came over, the blood vines that had already grown from his wrists to his elbows quickly climbed up because of the coldness of the ice cones.

Hou Cheng's wrist artery was immediately pierced, and he was in so much pain that he lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Gu Tongwan no longer wanted to fight, but stepped forward and cut the opponent's throat with the dagger he carried with him, and blood immediately splattered all over the ground.

Yan Fan lowered his brows and did not feel that Gu Tongwan's methods were cruel, because he heard that Hou Cheng was arrogant and used his status to bully ordinary people after establishing the guild. Previously, he heard from an uncle at the labor market that the youngest granddaughter of a 70-year-old man from the outer circle he knew was touched by Hou Cheng when she was only 15 years old. When he brought her home, she was completely crazy. Now the old man has to go out every day in 60-degree weather to pick up scraps for a living.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of Hou Cheng's evil deeds. Who knows how much more this beast can do in places where we can't see.

This action with Gu Tongwan just happened to be an opportunity given by God to deal with the beast.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about the strong smell of blood in the room. Yan Fan quickly picked up the arrow shot by Gu Tongwan and put it in his pocket. He was afraid that the guild members would come during the day, and he could not leave any information before that.

Gu Tongwan had already started searching room by room. Hou Cheng was not in the room before. He rushed in from the left.

With Gu Tongwan's judgment, he quickly found the location of the study. There were signs that the bookcase had been moved. Gu Tongwan tried to push it and found the trick.

"It turns out there's a safe hidden in the back."

The password on the safe prevented her from opening it for a while, so in a hurry Gu Tongwan simply put the entire safe into her personal space.

At this moment, the long-lost system voice sounded.

[Congratulations on completing this kill mission. The rewards have been distributed to the space warehouse. Please check at any time. ]

Gu Tongwan was surprised. He didn’t expect that Hou Cheng was a special mission. The system had not given any prompts before. Is it possible that unexpected surprises are popular now?

In fact, there has been no movement in the system for more than a month, which makes Gu Tongwan a little uneasy. He has been worried that the system will disappear completely one day, and then whether his personal space will also become completely ineffective along with the system.

However, the doubts have now been slightly dispelled by the system's prompts. At least the system is still operating normally.

In addition to the safe, there is actually a row of foreign liquors on the bookshelf next to it. Some seem to have been packaged before the end of the world, while some appear to have been purchased in the past one or two years, and there is also the logo of a famous manufacturer in the base on it.

Gu Tongwan thought for a moment, and saw all the foreign liquors in the row in front of him fall into his personal space.

So he went downstairs to check again, and found a small warehouse in a small room on the second floor. There were several boxes of dry food in it, and Gu Tongwan took them all without hesitation.

It was not until Yan Fan finished inspecting the "crime scene" that he went downstairs to look for her.

"We have to leave quickly. I found a phone call record of Hou Cheng fifteen minutes ago. Someone might be coming."

Gu Tongwan nodded, and then returned to the first floor with Yan Fan. Before leaving, the blood vines wiped out the breath left by the two people.

Just as the two of them were riding away on their bikes, the four blood vines separated by Gu Tongwan nearby also moved slowly from cameras at different angles and instantly flew towards Gu Tongwan's location.

The blood vine has now successfully upgraded from a B-level mutant species to an A-level one. As long as it does not encounter an S-level mutant, the blood vine's strength can basically crush mutants or mutant beasts of the same level.

"When I came here just now, I had already shot through four cameras on the road. They shouldn't be able to track us from behind." Yan Fan's voice came from behind against the wind.

No wonder this guy was messing around outside the yard before. It turned out that he had hacked several nearby cameras. His vigilance is quite high.

However, Yan Fan probably didn't know that there would be a power cut after midnight, and the area covered by the cuts included several large areas near the inner circle.

So when I went out, several cameras in the nearby blocks were completely out of service.

Fortunately, they left in time. In less than ten minutes, accompanied by a shrill whistle, the nearby Security Bureau and other members of the "Success Guild" had arrived at the guild.

At this time, the bedroom was in a mess. There was only a woman in the corner, huddled in the corner as if she had seen a ghost, and kept muttering: "It's not me, I know nothing."

Less than two meters away from the woman was a dead body, it was Hou Cheng, the president of the "Success Guild".
