Spirit Realm Walker 52

Inside the Dragon Squad's private interrogation room, Liu Feier and Li Yuanjian were interrogating Zhong Qingqing.

Even Liu Lang did not have a very clear understanding of Liu Feifei's abilities. She possessed numerous magical blood reagents, and her capability system was extremely diverse, ranging from ninjutsu to sorcery, alongside innate vampire spells.

"Ha, low-level vampire spells. Experienced Spirit Realm Walkers have already redeemed immunity reagents," Zhong Qingqing said disdainfully, a mocking look in her eyes, as if vampires sat at the very bottom of the contempt chain among Spirit Realm Walkers.

"Oh, and what about this?" Liu Feifei chuckled softly, her sharp nails directly shaving off a small piece of a wooden comb.

Zhong Qingqing was struck as if by lightning, blood spilling from the corners of her mouth as her entire figure wilted. She found it hard to imagine that someone from the official authorities would dare to directly harm a suspect.

Li Yuanjian was also immensely surprised; this was a clear violation of regulations, especially since Tang Feng was still trying to apply for a spiritually and culturally civilized unit award. Just as he was about to dissuade her, Liu Feifei continued speaking.

"Didn't you redeem some kind of female ghost ability? Then you should be able to see things that are normally invisible. Take a look at what is on me."

Zhong Qingqing instinctively used her ability, her pupils instantly dilating a fraction. In her eyes, Liu Feifei was no longer a delicate young girl; instead, a resentment and residual soul, so dense it seemed physical, wrapped around her. The resentment and residual souls struggled and roared continuously yet dared not truly touch her skin.

More evil than an evil ghost, more terrifying than a demon king!

Naraku could hardly be worse than this. Zhong Qingqing was terrified. Someone like this had thousands, if not tens of thousands, of human lives on her hands, and she would have no scruples whatsoever about killing her.

"Are you really from the authorities?"

"Hahaha," Liu Feifei let out a silver-bell-like laugh, "Genuine, absolutely no deception."

How could she not punish someone who had hurt her older brother? she muttered inwardly.

Zhong Qingqing confessed everything.

Her first entry into the video world was over a month ago. Normally, a walker could only enter once a month, but possessing special props allowed for repeated entries to execute missions.

As for Spirit Realm Walkers, upon completing the novice mission and undertaking their first normal mission, the system would rate them based on performance. The lowest rank was Grade-D Walker, and the redemption system would grant different redemption permissions according to these ranks.

She also revealed a crucial piece of information.

"There is a rumor that once a Grade-A Walker appears within the system, the system will initiate the Spirit Realm Ownership Assignment, making the Grade-A Walker its master. If there is more than one Grade-A Walker, they will be forced into a deathmatch, and the final surviving Grade-A Walker will become the master of the Spirit Realm."

So the true name of the video world was the Spirit Realm.

Every once in a while, the Spirit Realm would open an entrance in a new area to absorb fresh blood into the Spirit Realm.

The most recent entrance was precisely at Tiantongyuan.

"How many Spirit Realm Walkers are still in reality? Tell us everything you know," Li Yuanjian asked solemnly.

Zhong Qingqing blurted out, "I will not betray my friends!"

The corners of Liu Feifei's mouth curled slightly into a well-behaved and lovely expression. At that moment, Zhong Qingqing shivered, clearly gripped by extreme fear. She wanted to stop using Spirit Sight, but because she was controlled by Liu Feifei, she could not shut it off and was forced to watch those struggling, suffering grievances and residual souls.

Perhaps due to having redeemed the female ghost ability, she was exceptionally sensitive to this.

"Wah... Mommy..." Zhong Qingqing finally broke down and cried bitterly, losing control of her bladder as well.

Just as Li Yuanjian was about to terminate the interrogation, Liu Feifei had already appeared right in front of Zhong Qingqing. "Speak. Or else I will make you become a part of them right now."

Zhong Qingqing's crying stopped abruptly.

The Dragon Squad obtained a list of thirteen Spirit Realm Walkers in reality. Zhong Qingqing was suspected of having developed a certain degree of psychological trauma, and out of humanitarianism, the Dragon Squad arranged for a psychological counselor to treat her.

The Dragon Squad training grounds.

Liu Lang looked at the sixty or seventy people gathered in the arena, feeling a sense of shock. Tang Feng was delivering a mobilization speech.

"Doesn't the Dragon Squad only have four or five people? Where did all these people come from, and they look quite formidable in combat!"

Li Yuanjian sensed Liu Lang's thoughts and smiled faintly, "Our squad leader had originally been applying to the higher-ups for manpower. Taking advantage of the opportunity to capture Spirit Realm Walkers simply accelerated the process of requisitioning personnel. They are all elites from military, police, and other systems, and they are also the backbone of our first generation in the Dragon Squad!"

Li Yuanjian's eyes held immense ambition; watching the Dragon Squad grow step by step gave him a unique sense of accomplishment.

"But none of them are ability users. They will be at a huge disadvantage if they fight against ability users," Liu Lang worried slightly. Li Yuanjian shook his head indifferently.

"Abilities are not everything. Organized violence is far more powerful than a mob of scattered ability users."

Liu Lang nodded thoughtfully.

Tang Feng's long and tedious speech was finally coming to an end. They heard him say, "I believe you are already aware of the existence of abilities. Most of you joined the Dragon Squad precisely because you yearn for this power. I promise you that earning merits will allow you to redeem corresponding abilities! Capturing Spirit Realm Walkers is your very first mission!"

The people on the training grounds were hyped up as if pumped with adrenaline, shouting the slogan over and over again in unison: "Slay demons and monsters, banish ghosts and spirits, protect our country, and guard our people." This was the slogan of the Dragon Squad.

Following the combat plan, they split up into squads to act separately.

Liu Lang was assigned three subordinates, and their squad's target was a walker who had just completed his novice mission—Li Shuishen. Much like Liu Lang, he had not yet undertaken a formal mission and thus had not received a system rating.

Therefore, Li Shuishen was still merely an ordinary person, and capturing him shouldn't be difficult.

Considering that Liu Lang had never served as a "leader" and did not know how to command a team, Tang Feng had arranged a simple mission for him to get some practice.

"Reporting to the captain, my name is Xu Xinnian, formerly a staff member at the XX District Bureau of Education!" a bespectacled, thin-framed man saluted.

"Reporting to the captain, my name is Bu Suqiu, formerly a soldier in the Korean People's Army!" a short-haired young woman gave a crisp military salute. According to her file, she was a Korean immigrant who had moved inland.

There was also a man named Liu Zhengyu, a scout whose file indicated he had earned the title of "King of Soldiers." He let out a lazy yawn, looking completely listless with the attitude of an army ruffian. Clearly, he didn't take his fellow squad members seriously, let alone hold Liu Lang in any regard.

"Hey, you, Liu Lang, the captain right?" Liu Zhengyu didn't even bother to look him in the eye, saying lazily, "I suppose I won't be needed just to capture an ordinary person with no abilities."

Liu Lang truly lacked experience in leading a team and had no idea how to handle insubordination. However, he was merely a seconded employee anyway; what did it matter if the Dragon Squad members didn't respect him?

"Alright," he said, turning to walk away. Xu Xinnian and Bu Suqiu exchanged glances and followed closely behind.

Liu Zhengyu was taken aback for a moment, spat out fiercely, and chased after them to grab Liu Lang by the arm. "Stop right there! When I was the King of Soldiers, you were still drinking milk! What qualifications do you have to throw your weight around in front of me?!"

Liu Lang shook off his hand, glanced at him with disgust, and thought to himself: What difference does it make who the captain is? Why is this moron fighting over it?

Seeing Liu Lang's expression, Liu Zhengyu felt it was the ultimate humiliation. Cursing, "Fuck your mother!", he launched into a flying kick aimed straight at Liu Lang.
