"The murderer must be Sauron and Dong Tong!"
With this explosive news from Bald Qiang, I immediately lost my composure! It felt like this statement was just a wild kite—completely absurd!
"That bastard Sauron has that kind of power, but how could a mere mortal like Dong Tong be mixed up with him?"
"I didn't think so either! But they have video evidence, so I have no choice but to believe it!"
In a sense, he had a point. Bald Qiang's reasoning wasn't entirely unfounded; with Sauron's abilities, causing a stir was perfectly normal.
However, what puzzled me the most was Dong Tong!
Earlier, when Bald Qiang called me, I sensed her shadow among the murderers. It felt ominous, which was one of the reasons I was determined to solve this case.
"Is there really evidence of Dong Tong?"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Bald Qiang was struggling to keep calm, Zhengyang came over and looked at me seriously. He said in a low voice, "I participated in the last mission too. Not only do you care about her as a friend, but we all do! However, I think you should be more rational. Based on what we know now, it's highly likely that Dong Tong has been compromised by that organization. I feel she is still in a precarious situation, which is why her actions on the beach seemed strange. You know, during our last mission, it was Sauron and Dong Tong who nearly killed us. If it weren't for Ghost Granny's timely appearance, we might have been done for! So this time we can only go all out to eliminate any future threats, do you understand?"
I had no idea what had happened to make Zhengyang say all this out of the blue, but his words weighed heavily on my heart, leaving me unsure how to respond.
"Sigh."
Zhengyang let out a soft sigh and then walked over to a technician sitting in front of an LCD screen. "Play the footage of the attack at Fire Island Beach again."
Without thinking much, I hurried over to join him.
At that moment, the technician started typing rapidly on the keyboard, and soon a black-and-white scene appeared on the screen. From the angle of the shot, it seemed to be captured by a camera mounted high above.
The scene depicted a beach filled with men and women in swimsuits. However, among them were two particularly eye-catching figures dressed in large black robes reminiscent of medieval Western clergy. Even walking down the street would draw attention to them; on a beach where everyone else was in minimal clothing, they stood out like sore thumbs. As soon as the footage started playing, I locked onto these two individuals. Despite being cloaked in their oversized robes, their general shapes were recognizable. I quickly confirmed they were indeed Sauron and Dong Tong!
The last encounter had nearly cost me my life—one was my savior while the other almost took it away. How could I forget them? Even if they turned to ashes, I would still recognize them!
In the scene, they stood side by side on the beach, gazing intently at the distant sea as if lost in thought, not revealing what they were observing.
The scene continued for about ten minutes until a child's arrival disrupted the balance. The child, looking to be around ten years old, ran over to Sauron and began tugging at his black robe, likely curious about the man's unusual attire. After all, he was just a child, innocent and untainted.
Naturally, Sauron responded by kicking the child away, sending him flying over ten meters. Fortunately, the beach was soft, so the child wasn't seriously hurt. However, his parents couldn't just stand by, and they approached Sauron to argue.
From the scene, it was clear that the child's parents were extremely agitated as they confronted Sauron. Their persistent arguing only served to anger Doron, who swiftly dealt with the couple on the beach. With a single strike each, their heads exploded like ripe fruit!
Thus began the disaster.
Next, Sauron brutally twisted off the heads of the unfortunate couple, causing blood to spray everywhere. In an instant, chaos erupted on the beach. Sauron's ferocity was fully unleashed as he plunged into the crowd of ordinary people like a tiger among sheep. A massacre commenced, transforming the entire beach into a hellish battlefield in mere moments!
Throughout this process, Dong Tong remained uninvolved.
"Did you see that? There are many doubts!"
"There's something even more important coming up."
Zhengyang sighed lightly. "You'll understand soon."
The slaughter lasted nearly four to five minutes. For a Rakshasa demon to take lives was as easy as harvesting straw; in just four or five minutes, there were hardly any survivors left on the beach.
At this moment, Dong Tong, who had been standing still, finally moved. She gently turned her face away, directing it towards the camera!
"This is it! Pause and zoom in!"
The technician immediately froze the scene at that moment and began to zoom in. Dong Tong's face, shrouded in a black cloak, gradually became clearer.
Seeing that familiar face made my heart twitch painfully. Everything that had happened in the Nine-Tiered Corpse Tower in the desert resurfaced in my mind.
I shook my head vigorously to force those thoughts away and then carefully observed that familiar face again. To my surprise, I noticed her eyes glistening with tears.
She was crying?
Zhengyang let out a long breath. "Considering everything, I can only conclude that the organization used Puppet Technique on her. Her consciousness hasn't completely faded yet. She's in her most vulnerable state right now—especially when facing you guys—making her susceptible to Dong Tong's residual consciousness! So now is the best time to eliminate her!"
After hearing Zhengyang's analysis, I felt somewhat displeased and looked up. "How can you be so sure that it's Dong Tong who has been consumed? What if it's Dong Tong who has devoured the puppet instead?"
As soon as I spoke, I realized that Zhengyang and the others were looking at me with expressions that suggested I was an idiot.
Zhengyang patted my shoulder and said, "It's useless. That organization's Puppet Technique is truly formidable. Besides, Dong Tong is just too weak; she has no chance at all. To put it bluntly, her odds are at most one in ten thousand!"
I had witnessed that organization's Puppet Technique firsthand, and it was indeed terrifying. If it hadn't been for a stroke of luck, I might have already become a puppet myself, leaving no trace of Xia Ji in this world!
My heart was screaming. What if she could seize that one in ten thousand chance to turn the situation around? She told me she would fight to the end!
However, I ultimately kept those thoughts to myself because they were irrational and overly emotional. Even if I stubbornly chose to believe in Dong Tong, it wouldn't change Zhengyang's judgment.
"Brother Xia, I believe in you..." Wan suddenly spoke up, and her words brought me immense comfort. I glanced at Xiao Xiao, who also smiled in agreement.
Feeling somewhat powerless, I sat down on a nearby chair and remained silent for a long time until I finally managed to calm my emotions. I looked up at Bald Qiang and asked, "Alright, enough about this. Do you have any guesses regarding the underwater ruins?"
At this question, Bald Qiang's expression suddenly turned strange.
"We do have some speculations, but they might be a bit exaggerated!"
"We suspect that the underwater ruins could very well be the remnants of a prehistoric civilization from Antarctica—those ancestors who migrated to establish a new civilization beneath the sea! I suspect it might be Atlantis!"
