Chapter 241 Lost Heart

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes. Mu Ningxue and the other two each picked up a red ling monster and threw it in front of him.

Xu Fan took a look and saw that they were the strongest two among the commander-level Red Ling Demon and the general-level one. He thought they were the core of this small demon tribe.

"Did you find anything?"

Xu Fan looked at Jiang Shaoxu and asked. Jiang Shaoxu's face turned pale and he directly cut open the Chi Lingyao that he had pulled over. A small corpse was revealed in the cut stomach.

Then Mu Ningxue moved aside a little. On the other side, there were already more than a dozen dead bodies of infants and young children piled up.

"What do you think about this?"

Xu Fan's gaze lingered on the cut stomach for a moment, a trace of compassion flashed across his face, and he continued to ask.

"When we passed by those fishing villages, we heard about some ghost stories, including the disappearance of infants and young children!"

"But it's just such a small tribe that found so many bodies of infants and young children. Losing so many children in a short period of time is definitely not a trivial matter!"

"And if similar things happened in other demon tribes, the infants and young children near the coast would have been eaten up long ago!"

The more Jiang Shaoxu spoke, the uglier his expression became. It was obvious that some of the infants and young children here were from inland areas, but how could infants and young children from inland areas be eaten by monsters from the sea?

Could it be that demons can enter and exit Anjie at will, and even come and go freely in more cities?
"If someone isn't deliberately feeding these monsters, then there must be something wrong with the senior officials in charge of the coast!"

Jiang Shaoxu had many concerns, but Mu Ningxue directly lifted the veil.

"Have you checked the cause of death of these infants and young children?"

Xu Fan said lightly, and with a light wave of his hand, several wind blades flew out, and the abdomens of the other two red ling monsters were immediately cut open, revealing the food in their stomachs.

"The mouth and nose are full of corrosive gastric acid. I'm afraid he was swallowed alive and drowned in the gastric acid!"

Jiang Shaoxu said angrily that when she thought of this matter, she wished she could grind these monsters to ashes.

"If there were only one or two dead children here, we could make this guess, but now there are more than a dozen infants and young children here!"

"You should know how big a deal it is to lose so many children at the same time, so I suspect they may not have been killed at the same time and place!"

A layer of golden light covered Xu Fan's hand, and then he reached out and tore open Chi Ling Yao's stomach and took out the corpse inside.

The corpse was still wearing thick clothes, but now the clothes were covered with sticky gastric juice. Everyone couldn't help but frowned when they saw this.

Xu Fan quickly tore off the clothes on the corpse, revealing the skin that had been severely corroded. Everyone immediately discovered that there were signs of several fractures on the corpse, and the entire chest was limp, perhaps because of the squeezing when being swallowed by the monster.

Jiang Shaoxu and the others watched this scene with anger and pity in their eyes, but they gradually discovered something wrong. Logically speaking, if the child was really eaten alive by the Red Ling Monster, the child would probably not even have the chance to enter the stomach.

That kind of powerful squeezing would directly cause the person's internal organs to rupture, and blood would be squeezed out of the mouth and nose, so there would be no possibility of drowning.

And this child was really drowned, so there is only one reason, that is, he was killed before being eaten! If only one child was like this, it could be said to be an accident, but if all the bodies were like this, then the scene in front of us was a premeditated destruction of the bodies!

"Humans are called the spirits of all things. In the eyes of some people or some demons, human cubs are the most spiritual beings and are the most coveted by some evil wizards!"

"The targets are usually the brain, internal organs, and blood!"

"If it was a demon, the body wouldn't be so intact!"

Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The magic world was much more chaotic than in his previous life.

"Cut it open so we can see it clearly!"

Jiang Shaoxu suddenly felt a little breathless. She had not expected that she would encounter such a serious thing just at the beginning of her training in the National Government.

Xu Fan nodded slightly, an ice blade appeared in his hand, and then he moved the knife without hesitation. With one cut, the blood that had not yet completely coagulated flowed out, and everyone finally saw the truth inside.

Sure enough, the body was missing a heart!
"Someone is stealing children's hearts! And in large quantities!"

Jiang Shaoxu's face was extremely ugly. Even if she didn't want to believe it, all her excuses were powerless in the face of the truth.

"This is a complete crime process, from stealing children to removing their hearts and then using demons to destroy the bodies!"

"There is definitely something wrong with the person in charge of handling the Siren incident in Asuka City. No wonder there has been so little effect for so long. It turns out that they are just nurturing an enemy and are now crying 'Catch the thief!'"

Mu Nujiao gnashed her teeth and said this. Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue also had a hint of solemnity in their eyes. They were somewhat suspicious whether the tutors from the Imperial Household who had deliberately thrown everyone here knew about this.

Perhaps the people above also have some guesses about what’s happening here, so they let them solve the case of missing children here in the name of training!
"Don't tell anyone in the team about this for now. Let's blend in with them and pretend we know nothing!"

"Perhaps we can find other demon tribes that are being fed, and then wait and see who is feeding them, and then follow the clues to find the ultimate culprit!"

Jiang Shaoxu's eyes flickered. Doing so might greatly affect their experience in the national government, but now, the experience is no longer important. If they don't dig out the cancer, they will not be able to sleep or eat well even if they leave here!

"The evil method that can use a large number of hearts is not ordinary. Maybe we really encountered a giant shark this time!"

Xu Fan sneered. He remembered the whole story. It seemed that a certain Asian congressman Su Lu wanted to subdue the Black Dragon Emperor and be elected as the Speaker, and he needed a contract array.

The contract array requires a large number of Titan hearts. When there are insufficient Titan hearts, it can only be replaced with a large number of human cub hearts.

"We are just fishing. If the fish is really hooked, a super-class magician will naturally take action!"

Jiang Shaoxu and his companions were not frightened and were full of fighting spirit.

"If you run away in fear at the mere sight of a clue, you don't need to practice magic anymore. You might as well just go home and farm!"

Jiang Shaoxu forced a smile, and the four of them looked at each other, and saw determination in each other's eyes. They didn't care who would be involved in this matter, but they must attract the attention of the top leaders. This kind of thing must not happen again on Chinese soil!
