I have an eye of truth

#374 - It's the alien's fault again

The group quickly arrived at the headquarters. Unlike what Wang Yang had imagined, the commander before them wasn't an old man, but a young man who didn't seem much older than himself.

However, the dangerous aura emanating from him told Wang Yang that the person in front of him definitely possessed the strength of a top-tier professional.

And this strength also proved that the other party's age was probably older than he thought, only appearing young due to extended lifespan. Indeed, starting from top-tier professionals, human lifespan would increase significantly.

As for how much it could increase, Wang Yang didn't know. Because a large number of people didn't die of old age.

The person in front of him only held the rank of Major General, not as many high-ranking officers as in the first layer.

Suddenly, Wang Yang realized that He Yingxue's military rank was also different, actually a Major. Being able to obtain the rank of Major at this age was truly remarkable; he hadn't noticed it just now.

"So you're the legendary Shadow Assassin Wang Yang from the Sky Combat Team. Your strength is indeed formidable."

The other party's gaze seemed to be able to see through him. Wang Yang knew this was an illusion, but he still felt a sense of awe.

"I am. I wonder what business Commander has with me."

Since the other party addressed him directly, it meant they had come to find him.

The Commander didn't stand on ceremony and directly said, "According to our investigation, we've figured out the cause of this incident. It was a coalition of Inhumans trying to seize territory and kill more people to increase their strength. Now, many places have their bases."

"These bases are dominated by Inhumans, with a large number of humans wanting to become Inhumans. They are helping those wandering souls create vessels. The scarecrows and paper effigies outside are all made by them."

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. Were there other things as well? That's right, for people skilled in the art, paper effigies might actually be easier to make than scarecrows. If that's the case, many easily made things would appear.

Thinking of this, Wang Yang suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He had fallen into a monster's nest.

Wang Yang also noticed that Lingling seemed to be trembling. He hadn't expected this girl with super-strong defense to be afraid of ghosts.

"I've heard about your exploits. You seem to be very good at reconnaissance and destroying enemy strongholds. So, your task this time is very simple: find these strongholds and destroy them."

"If they are destroyed, will the wandering souls outside no longer be a threat?"

"That's right. Without a continuous stream of helpers and without unified command, the threat of these wandering souls is very small."

Wandering souls are not normal intelligent creatures. They don't have very strict subordinate relationships, but their hierarchy is clear. High-level wandering souls can easily command those weaker ones.

However, they don't have the idea of establishing their own forces. They often just use what they encounter. When weak wandering souls encounter a powerful being possessing a similar kind, they will follow, as a kind of learning and improvement, not truly becoming their subordinates. Their actions often follow their own ideas.

Besides killing, they aim to cause panic. This is the rule for the growth of wandering souls.

Therefore, as long as the Inhumans who can control the wandering souls from behind are eliminated, these anomalies will act almost instinctively, making them much easier to deal with.

"Then, are there no top-tier professionals behind them? I can't deal with those guys."

The Commander didn't hesitate and said directly, "The control range and number of different Inhumans are limited. They often influence low-level anomalies by controlling high-level anomalies, so it can be distinguished from their control situation. There are no top-tier Inhumans appearing near us yet. If one appears, you can only wait for me to come and rescue you."

"But don't worry, top-tier beings generally don't act casually, because that represents a signal for a full-scale war. So, if you don't encounter a top-tier Inhuman, I won't take action either. You'll have to figure out a solution yourself."

Alright, that was direct and straightforward enough, but it also reassured Wang Yang.

"One last question, what about the humans inside those strongholds?"

Each stronghold has many humans. Without these humans, there would be no continuous birth of anomalies. If there weren't so many anomalies, such a large-scale riot would never have occurred.

The Commander also said directly, "Those people have participated in the act of harming their own kind, and they yearn to become Inhumans. They can no longer be considered human. When you encounter these people, kill them without mercy."

This killing intent was not a joke, and Wang Yang understood their course of action.

Suddenly, He Yingxue spoke, "I also have a question. Is Wang Yang the only one going into battle?"

"That's the plan for now. We haven't done this kind of thing before, so we can only find a professional to do it. Once successful, we will immediately absorb experience and then form a dedicated team to eliminate these strongholds."

Wang Yang alone can't do too much after all. This time, the scope is not small.

Wanting to solve so much, relying on one person alone is not enough. The reason for letting Wang Yang act is also to collect some information. Currently, chaos has just begun in various places, and everyone is trying to protect themselves.

If someone can take the lead in breaking this deadlock, it will not only bring them experience but also bring confidence.

Therefore, although it may not be much that is done, this time the credit will definitely be a lot. When he comes back, he will find a way to solve the problem of excessive killing intent and absolutely cannot let it stay for too long.

"So, do you have any other questions?"

Everyone lowered their heads and thought about it. It seemed that there were no more questions. But at this time, Ao Han spoke, "There should be weapons specifically for dealing with wandering souls, right? These should be more useful than conventional weapons."

That's right, everyone almost forgot. Although their own weapons are more convenient, the wandering souls this time are very special and cannot be targeted by conventional weapons. They have not yet reached the point where they can ignore the other party's existence.

"I'll give you a list for weapons, go and get them yourselves."

Wang Yang nodded and then said, "Then, I'll rely on you to take care of Pamela."

Before Pamela could say anything, He Yingxue put her arm around her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "This time it's an emergency mission. Don't go and cause trouble for Wang Yang. It would be troublesome if we had to take care of you."

Although Pamela wanted to refute, she thought of her own strength and helplessly quieted down. In terms of strength, Pamela is not worse than He Yingxue now, but she is far behind Wang Yang.
