Chapter 1558 The Missing Team

"What's going on?" Jiang Cheng asked the person in charge.

The person in charge explained anxiously, "I just received a report from the surveillance personnel that the Level 2 hazardous entity here is experiencing huge emotional fluctuations and showing signs of losing control. He needs to be injected with a sedative immediately, but... but he's blocking us from going in."

Su An's tense nerves relaxed when he saw Fatty. Fatty smiled and patted Su An's chest, and Su An patted Fatty's shoulder familiarly. Although Su An's smile was shy, everyone could tell that the two were very close.

"Manager, my brother Su An said there's no problem here. With him here, you can withdraw your people," Fatty then said to the person in charge.

"No way!" Before the person in charge could respond, an old man in an isolation suit and a transparent protective mask spoke up, "Do you know what kind of monster is being held here? If that guy goes crazy, all of us, no, half the town will be buried with him!"

The old man had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and spoke with a full voice, radiating righteousness. It was clear he was a highly respected expert in some field.

Upon hearing the word "monster," Su An's gaze suddenly turned cold. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Fatty stopped Su An. Under Jiang Cheng's persuasion, the person in charge also took a step back and had the expert sent by higher-ups escorted away. At the same time, he began to arrange for people to evacuate the guest house as much as possible to avoid accidents.

Jiang Cheng noticed that this ward was different from the ones he had seen before. There were two red exclamation marks, representing danger, posted outside the door.

The deterrent force of the Level 2 Shen Hong hazardous experimental subject was evident.

Walking into the room, Jiang Cheng immediately saw a hammock for children, constantly rocking with the help of machinery. Inside lay a bizarre infant.

The infant had a rare yin-yang face. The left side of its face looked like an infant, with skin that could be broken by a puff of air, while the right half was the face of an old woman, covered with terrifying wrinkles.

"It's her?" Fatty was a little surprised. This infant was not only a Level 2 hazardous experimental subject, but also Liu Hui's trump card.

With Su An's halting translation, Jiang Cheng roughly understood the whole story. After he and Fatty left, Su An took the painting he had left behind, along with the name "Ling," and began to visit the Shen Hong members scattered throughout the guest house. The answers he received along the way were exactly the same as what those people had said before, until he walked into this ward.

The strange infant, who spent most of the day sleeping, told him that this "Ling" was not dead. He had been taken away, and the person who took him was very scary. He used his ability to tamper with the memories of everyone in the base.

"Then how can she still remember?" Li Bai asked the most crucial question. She didn't trust these strange experimental subjects at all.

Su An's explanation was a bit clumsy, jumping from one thing to another, but Jiang Cheng and the others understood. This was entirely thanks to the strange infant's ability. Her sea of consciousness had offset some of the person's influence. The two had similar abilities, but in terms of methods, the other person was still better.

Because the strange infant herself had also been affected, she couldn't remember some of the details of that incident clearly, but the next sentence from the strange infant, translated by Su An, caught everyone's attention.

The strange infant said that it wasn't just "Ling" who was taken away by that person at the time. In addition, other people from the base were also taken away.

"Who else?" Jiang Cheng pressed. "Ask her, does she know their names or codenames?"

Su An, who had received the answer from the strange infant, looked at Jiang Cheng and shook his head.

"Then what about these people's ages, physical characteristics, anything like that?" Jiang Cheng was worried that the Night Watchmen would make a big deal out of these guys, so he had to find these people before the situation got out of control.

But unfortunately, Su An continued to shake his head.

"What about the number of people? She should know the number, right?" Fatty was also a little desperate. He didn't know anything when asked, and he couldn't help but feel scared that some Shen Hong members had been taken away by the Night Watchmen without anyone knowing.

These people were like ticking time bombs. No one knew when or where they would be detonated.

Then Su An finally reacted. He slowly nodded, then stretched out his left hand, opening his five fingers.

"A total of 5 people?" Yao Shunyu's breathing also became rapid.

A moment later, Su An scratched his big head, then stretched out his right hand, adding one more finger, then two, and finally taking one back.

Jiang Cheng slowly exhaled. He understood. The strange infant was also unsure of exactly how many people had been taken away, and could only give a rough range. Including Shao Tong, there were at least 5 people, and it was hard to say more. There might be 6, or maybe 7 or 8.

The Night Watchmen always acted cautiously. These people could not have been chosen at random. They must be preparing for a special plan, similar to the important plan to assassinate him last time.

But last time they only used up Shao Tong. The so-called handler Lu Qin was probably not qualified to be one of these people. Jiang Cheng was most concerned about where the remaining people were... What exactly were the Night Watchmen plotting in secret?

After calming down, Jiang Cheng continued to ask, "What level were those who were taken away classified as? Were they all Level 2 hazardous entities?"

Su An shook his head, then explained haltingly that the strange infant vaguely remembered that the clothes those people were wearing were different, with markings representing Level 1 and even Level 2 hazards, and some people were wearing just ordinary hospital gowns.

"They didn't take away the strongest, nor the most bizarrely skilled. What exactly are they trying to do?" Li Bai's face turned ugly. This feeling of helplessness, of not being able to figure out the enemy's tracks, was the most unsettling.

But slowly, Jiang Cheng had some ideas. He looked at Su An, his gaze constantly scanning him up and down. Fatty noticed this and asked, "What's wrong? Did you think of something by looking at Brother Su?"

"Why do they value Brother Su so much?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Yao Shunyu and Li Bai reacted quickly, understanding immediately. "It's control! Su An can control those Shen Hong! For the Night Watchmen, ability is only one aspect. The most important thing is how to control these people to work for them!"

"The focus of the Shen Hong base's research over the years has also been on how to achieve control over the disciples. The Shen Hong who were taken away are the most controllable disciples in the base!"

Hearing this, Su An spoke and gestured to Fatty repeatedly. Fatty, who had been confused just now, also became excited. "Yes, you're right! Brother Su An said that the disciples who were taken away weren't freaks. Their appearance... their appearance is roughly similar to ours. They're all ordinary people."
