With this in mind, Sheyan looked at Hill who had just promoted.
”Why don't you come with me on a little trip. The T-1000 had slaughtered a family before this, and everyone in the family is dead. I can only discover the truth of the incident with the help of your unique ability.”
How could Hill refuse Sheyan's request after he just got what he desired? But after Zi had had a few words with Mr. Darkness, she turned to Sheyan and said, ”If we're speaking purely of the study of the soul, then Miss Corina seems to be more in line with our requirements, so there's no need for Mr. Hill.”
A sudden realisation hit Sheyan after listening to Zi's words.
Now that Hill had achieved his goal, his demand for Party Ace's help had reduced to a minimum, so he may not put in his best effort.
On the contrary, Hill's success would naturally stimulate Corina's desire. She desperately needed Party Ace's help, so there must be thoughts like ”if I don't do my best now then they might not try their best later” in her mind.
Therefore, Corina was actually the more suitable candidate.
Sheyan silently rejoiced in his heart. He was truly fortunate to have a woman like Zi as his deputy to cover for his oversights. She was the dream of every team leader.
When Corina was called for action, she of course could not say no. In fact, she should fight for the chance to show her goodwill to Party Ace.
After seeing Hill successfully advance with envious eyes and a jealous heart, Corina could only suppress her displeasure at having almost been killed by Zi before and perform the task Ace Party entrusted to her to the best of her ability.
Attacking this secret military base had naturally attracted the close attention of the LA government, but fortunately, Five Wheels were experts in laying down smokescreens and shaking off pursuers. They disappeared into the vast city without much effort, just like a drop of water quietly dissolving into the sea. ”Those damn Terminators” naturally took the blame on behalf of Sheyan and co. again.
They soon arrived at Sixth Avenue in District 17 where the T-1000 had stayed in for a short while. Although they did not know the specific address, news of the famous murder case had spread like a plague here.
One reason the case was so well-known was because the murderer was so cruel that he had even killed the baby who was only several months old and could not even testify against him.
The second reason was because Mr. Simpson was quite a well-known man in this neighborhood. Drug abuse, drug trafficking, robberies and thefts -- he'd done them all. He had violated almost every law that could be violated. To put it bluntly, he was the head of a gang. A violent criminal who was accustomed to eliminating other families had had his own family eliminated instead. That naturally piqued the curiosity of others.
Because the murders had taken place less than 24 hours ago, the police tape and barricades outside had not been removed yet. It seemed like the police had only just concluded the forensic investigation; when they arrived at the scene, they happened to see the last police car leaving with its siren blazing.
When the group of contestants reached the door of the house, they did not have any eerie feelings indicating that it was a haunted house. Corina took out a crystal ball and put a black veil over it, then held it in front of her chest with both hands. It gave off a mysterious feeling.
This crystal ball was actually the best spellcasting item in Corina's possession worth over 20,000 utility points. It was evident that Corina was putting in her best effort. After the group entered the house, they could not turn on the light for fear of attracting the police's attention. The pungent smell of blood was still permeating through the air. The environment immediately turned spooky.
The light from the crystal ball was very faint, but it could still provide some illumination to the dark surroundings. Although the corpses had been removed, the bloodstains on the ground and the markings drawn by the police were still there, and they clearly indicated the original location of the corpses at the crime scene.
Sheyan turned towards Corina and asked, ”Is there a problem? Did you find any clues?”
Corina nodded. She first lifted the crystal ball, then slowly released it to let it float in the air. The crystal ball then floated around slowly to every corner of the house before finally returning to Corina's hands.
At this time, they could see a lot of shadows roaming inside the crystal ball in the form of black smokes.
Corina started to recite some incomprehensible spells. When her voice reached Sheyan's ears, he felt as if it was a worm that was nibbling at mulberry leaves, but a lot more creepy. A more timid person would have been covered in goosebumps upon hearing that.
Suddenly, the crystal ball shattered! A dense darkness came out of it to cover the area in an instant!
Corina whispered to them, ”You may witness some strange scenes now, but all of them are just illusions that will not cause any substantial harm to us. Just watch quietly and refrain from using any ability, or my spell will fail.”
When Corina spoke, her eyes were mainly on the other two women, Zi and Melody. Melody smiled and nodded, but Zi just snorted coldly without bothering to reply. The contrasting personalities between the two women were on full display.
