Chapter 687 - 341: Unconventional Ocean Court Member_2
“But… should the Ocean Court intervene in the attack in the city center?”
Fang Yu felt it was absurd; wasn’t the man before him a judge of the Ocean Court?
Moreover, he had personally experienced this incident, having saved himself from the attackers.
Shouldn’t he be responsible for this case?
“Does the Ocean Court need to intervene?”
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, Yan Yu couldn’t help but smile.
But soon, the smile vanished, replaced by indifference.
Yan Yu spoke coldly: “Whether the Ocean Court needs to intervene, what does that have to do with me?”
“If law enforcement intervention is needed, let those justice-minded folks handle it, don’t come to me!”
Fang Yu was stunned, somewhat surprised, looking at Yan Yu.
Watching Yan Yu about to leave.
But at that moment, he suddenly paused, snorted lightly, and spoke in a low voice: “Never mind, since you told me about the affairs of Lanyun Sea Country, I’ll give you some information.”
“When I was ready to capture the opponent’s Dragon Ship Level Spiritualists entirely, someone behind them intervened to stop me.”
“The aura of that person is somewhat familiar, seems to be from the West Qinghai Sea Region.”
“You can investigate the Spiritualists from the West Qinghai Sea Region, why they want to kill you… or!”
His figure gradually disappeared, but his voice still clearly reached Fang Yu’s ears: “Investigate who in Nanhui City has close contact with the West Qinghai Sea Region…”
“Who in Nanhui City has close contact with the West Qinghai Sea Region?”
Fang Yu murmured, his expression shifted, but Yan Yu’s figure had completely disappeared, leaving Fang Yu unable to ask further questions even if he wanted to.
“This guy… is really an anomaly in the Ocean Court…”
Beside him, Wang Yuanwei sighed as he watched Yan Yu’s disappearing figure, then spoke.
Hearing Wang Yuanwei’s words, Fang Yu snapped back to reality, quickly directing his gaze toward the corpse beside him, wanting to identify the attacker.
But Fang Yu suddenly froze.
Because when his gaze landed on the corpse, it was still intact.
But once he focused on a particular corpse, it began to burn furiously from the moment his gaze reached it.
It only took over ten seconds before it was completely burnt to ashes.
“What is this?!”
Fang Yu was taken aback.
“This is the Disintegration Spirit Curse!”
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked out from Sky Dome Technology’s security team and spoke to Fang Yu:
“The Disintegration Spirit Curse is a secret technique developed in the Spiritualist era, specifically used for assassination failures, erasing corpses.”
“Every spiritualist who takes action must imprint the Disintegration Spirit Curse on themselves before acting. Even in death, the corpse is swiftly destroyed, leaving no burden on those behind them.”
“There’s no need to look anymore, all these corpses are the same. As long as someone looks at them, they will spontaneously combust, clearly breaking off any leads from the corpses.”
Seeing this middle-aged man, Fang Yu curiously asked: “Who is this…”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce!”
Mr. Wang slapped his forehead, then pulled the middle-aged man over and said: “This is the chief captain of Sky Dome Technology’s security team, Brother Zhang Yu!”
“Captain Fang Yu!”
Zhang Yu smiled slightly and nodded to Fang Yu.
“Thank you, Brother Zhang Yu, for leading the team over for the rescue!”
Looking at Zhang Yu before him, Fang Yu’s face showed an expression of gratitude.
Although he had a high probability of escaping by revealing his cards today.
But others arriving immediately to rescue him saved him from having to expose his cards, which was a great favor.
Listening to Fang Yu’s words, Zhang Yu quickly shook his head, waving his hands humbly: “If Captain Fang Yu wants to thank, thank Engineer Wang. If it weren’t for Engineer Wang notifying us immediately, we wouldn’t have made it here so quickly.”
(Note: “Engineer” is a respectful title for engineers in enterprises, often also used for addressing research personnel as X Engineer, naturally Wang Yuanwei’s colleagues call him Engineer Wang.)
Fang Yu looked at Wang Yuanwei with some surprise, curiously asking:
“Mr. Wang, how did you know I was going to be in danger?”
“Heh, that’s a long story!”
Mr. Wang laughed, then recounted the events to Fang Yu, detail by detail.
It turned out that when Wang Yuanwei saw someone secretly tracking Fang Yu, he followed behind these people, accompanying Fang Yu.
Quickly, Fang Yu arrived at the building beneath the Essence Feast, just heading toward the Essence Feast hall, he soon encountered two security guards who stopped him.
At this point, what Wang Yuanwei saw was no different from what Fang Yu experienced.
But in the next step, the scenes the two of them saw were entirely different.
From Wang Yuanwei’s perspective, amidst the crowd not far away, someone discreetly released an Ocean Scripture after seeing Fang Yu attracted by the security guards.
Shortly thereafter, Fang Yu turned and left the Essence Feast building, talking to himself as he walked into the distance.
Many people saw Fang Yu talking to himself and instinctively moved away, thinking he was someone confused.
Only then did Wang Yuanwei realize that Fang Yu was likely already trapped in some kind of illusion.
Realizing this, Mr. Wang was extremely anxious, but dared not approach recklessly.
He feared falling into the illusion alongside Fang Yu, failing to rescue him while risking his own life.
Realizing he was alone and weak, Wang Yuanwei immediately called Zhang Yu, urging Zhang Yu to quickly lead Sky Dome Technology’s security team here to rescue Fang Yu.
Subsequent events saw Fang Yu gradually leaving the city center, entering an abandoned suburban factory, suddenly ambushed by people already in wait, and then breaking free from the illusion…
“So, I was hit right after encountering the security guards?”
“There was no manager… it was all just the illusion of the Ocean Scripture?”
Fang Yu murmured, frowning, speaking softly.
Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Mr. Wang was momentarily puzzled: “What manager?”
“Nothing,”
Fang Yu shook his head.
Since he was struck beneath the Essence Feast company building, is there someone within Essence Feast secretly using their abilities against him?
However, thinking this way may not be entirely correct.
Because, according to Wang Yuanwei’s account, those tracking him had targeted him even before he was at Sky Dome Technology.
At Sky Dome Technology, they hadn’t made a move, possibly because they weren’t ready yet.
When they acted at Essence Feast, it doesn’t necessarily mean Essence Feast is problematic; there’s a strong possibility they were fully prepared to ambush him at that point.
Recognizing this, Fang Yu frowned.
He wanted to head to Essence Feast for a look immediately.
But soon enough, Ocean Court Law Enforcers quickly arrived from afar, likely sensing energy fluctuations here, coming immediately.
Though not slow, they had already missed the timing of the attack.
Seeing the situation, Fang Yu could only shake his head in resignation, first cooperating with the Ocean Court Law Enforcers to briefly explain the happenings here.
When talking about Yan Yu, Fang Yu hesitated slightly but chose to mention Yan Yu.
He didn’t disclose Yan Yu’s subsequent inquiries, only saying Yan Yu happened to pass by and saved him.
On one hand, he wanted to test whether Yan Yu was truly an Ocean Court judge, considering that Yan Yu’s behavior hardly resembled an Ocean Court member.
On the other hand, the high-level energy fluctuations from those behind him were already detected by the Ocean Court’s Alchemy Divine Artifact; not telling the truth would make explaining his survival difficult.
What surprised Fang Yu was when the Ocean Court Law Enforcers heard Yan Yu’s name from Fang Yu, they showed a trace of disdain.
However, Yan Yu was at least a judge-level member of Ocean Court, so despite the Law Enforcers’ visible contempt, they said nothing, simply nodding and taking Fang Yu’s statement, promising to strengthen patrols and investigations to resolve the matter soon.
After Fang Yu, Wang Yuanwei, and others left the Ocean Court Office, it was already late at night.
Watching the lights in the Essence Feast building gradually dim, Fang Yu could only shake his head.
It seemed that today wasn’t the day; better to return and adjust overnight, then come back to investigate Essence Feast tomorrow.
