Gou learns witchcraft in another world

Chapter 14 Dangerous People, Dangerous Things

Luo Qiu stopped in his tracks.

What does it mean when the extraordinary device, the cell phone, suddenly makes a sound?

The worst-case scenario—someone with supernatural abilities has discovered him. This "cell phone" was left behind by a wizard from the Free Alliance. If the "demons" of Fog City have the means to track it, then that jolt just now might have been an alarm signaling that he had been locked on.

Or is this an early warning mechanism inherent in the "phone" itself? Does it alert the user when it senses dangerous energy fluctuations or other extraordinary objects in the surrounding environment?

Thinking of these possibilities, Luo Qiu broke out in a cold sweat.

However, before he could figure out what to do next, a new disturbance occurred.

Ahead of Luo Qiu, near the rubble of the explosion, a man was limping towards her, carrying a briefcase.

The man looked disheveled; his dark trench coat was covered in dust and torn in several places at the hem, and blood was even seeping from his legs as he walked. It seemed he had been caught in the blast and was trying to escape.

However, when Luo Qiu saw the man's figure, he noticed that the man's briefcase was emitting a red glow.

This is a guy carrying a high-level extraordinary item.

The other party's calm expression after the explosion also indicated that he was no ordinary person.

"Sir, what happened? What was that explosion over there?"

As Luo Qiu paused in place, Smith continued walking forward and happened to block the man carrying the briefcase.

During their conversation, Smith's figure also blocked Luo Qiu's view of the other party.

"Ahem, sir... I don't know what happened over there. I was just passing by when a brick came flying at me... Can I leave now? The boss is waiting for my news."

"You were nearby? Didn't you hear anything? How did this explosion happen?"

"I……"

"Why don't you stay here for a while and then give a statement? We can take you to the hospital later; your wound needs to be treated. Work isn't that urgent."

"I……"

The man seemed to be poor with words, and he couldn't refute Smith's words. But strangely, the man didn't do anything drastic; only at one moment did his pupils suddenly become deep.

Smith was still focused on the explosion site not far away, and he didn't immediately notice the change in the man's pupils. But when he didn't hear a reply from the man, he turned to meet his gaze.

Snapped--

Just then, a hand patted Smith on the shoulder.

"Smith, go help put out the fire first. The most important thing is to put out the fire as soon as possible to find out what happened inside. The evidence is all inside."

The speaker was Luo Qiu. He leaned over, patted Smith on the shoulder, and continued walking forward, as if eager to put out the fire.

At this sound, the injured man lowered his head obediently, as if he dared not meet Luo Qiu's gaze.

The two passed each other.

Behind Luo Qiu, Smith, having been reminded, also ignored the man and chased after Luo Qiu.

"Yes, senior."

……

wow——

A bucket of cold water was poured onto the last embers of the ruins, sending up a cloud of white steam and hissing.

Four minutes after the loud bang, the situation finally calmed down.

But at this moment, Luo Qiu's heart was still pounding.

A few minutes earlier, when he saw that man approaching, Luo Qiu felt a chill run through him. He considered all sorts of possibilities, and even at one point thought he had been exposed.

At the crucial moment, he still made his choice and calmly continued the performance.

As he brushed past the man, he saw a red glint in the man's eyes.

This confirmed his suspicion that his gifted vision could observe more than just extraordinary things. However, he had no interest in paying attention to that.

All he remembered was that the man walked away without looking back after they rushed towards the ruins.

They didn't seem to notice them.

However, feeling the square-shaped hard object in his arms, even though it had already calmed down, Luo Qiu couldn't help but let his mind wander.

The vibration of the 'phone' stopped after a second. Considering the timing of the man's appearance, Luo Qiu believed that it was triggered by that man. So what happened?

Furthermore, this explosion was definitely not simple; it must have involved extraordinary beings. And since an explosion occurred, the person involved might be even more powerful than Mr. Bias. So, was that man Sequence 3 or higher?

Setting down the basin of water and looking around, Luo Qiu just wanted to find a place to sort things out, or perhaps prepare for a potential storm.

Lately, the revolver on his waist has always been loaded with six bullets. Although the firepower is insufficient, it is still some consolation.

However, before he could come up with an excuse, Smith, who had also put down a basin of water, approached him.

"Senior, our colleagues have arrived."

"Um?"

Luo Qiu focused his attention slightly, turned his head, and looked in the direction Smith had indicated.

Less than five meters from the ruins, four detectives wearing peaked caps rushed over from the roadside.

The lead agent was even an acquaintance.

"Luo Qiu?"

"Clyde? You took on this case?"

Clyde, a burly man nearing forty with a distinctive mustache, was an agent who had been with the Bureau of Investigation for nearly twenty years and had even been promoted to senior agent a few years prior.

However, Clyde seemed to be a restless person. He refused every offer to take over the position of team leader. He was either on his way to investigate cases or at the scene of a case every day.

After this explosion, it's definitely time to find a higher-ranking agent to take over, and Clyde is a very suitable person.

However, after Luo Qiu greeted him, Clyde still showed the appropriate humility.

"I was writing a report at headquarters when I heard about this incident, so I rushed over immediately. I guess the case assignments haven't been finalized yet. Since you came first, Luo Qiu, you'll be in charge of the investigation. We'll assist you."

"No, no, I just got here too. Our car was stuck over there when the explosion happened. After we got here, we just helped put out the fire. We don't know anything about what exactly happened here yet."

"You came from headquarters with all the tools you needed, so you can take charge of this place, Clyde. I'll assist you... Also, I need to go get some things from the car first."

Luo Qiu didn't want to take on this case. Having already vaguely guessed what had happened here, he now just wanted to minimize his presence.

So, halfway through his sentence, Luo Qiu took two steps back to show his stance. He also gave Smith a wink, signaling him to assist the other party.

After all, they arrived first, so some information still needed to be relayed by Smith.

Seeing Luo Qiu like this, and then looking at the ruins, Clyde's eyes finally sharpened.

"Alright, I'll take charge of this area from now on."

"Put up the police cordon and search the surrounding area for any physical evidence. Don't touch anything. Take photos first."
