These two people were both Contractors and both of them were Level 2 Contractors, just like Mu Rufeng.
"Of course," Wen Yao said with an indifferent face.
"Yong City is big, but the population is small, and there's no Branch; there's only our department in the whole Yong City."
"So, we have a slightly larger staff - including us three, there is one Level 1, one Level 2, and one third-level."
"The third-level is our department head Zhou Liulong, but the head has gone to Dao County because his grandmother passed away."
"Level 2 Contractor Wang Wen is stationed in the department, and there is also a Level 1 Contractor Liu Xiaoxiao, who entered an instance this morning."
"There are also four players without a Contract Demon." Mei Xizi gave Mu Rufeng a rundown of the general situation.
"That's not bad," Mu Rufeng nodded.
The relevant department in Yong City was not weak either, roughly equivalent to the Wan City Branch and Changsha County Branch of Changsha's relevant department.
As they were chatting, the vehicle had already entered the underground parking lot of Shunde Moore.
After parking the car, the group of eight quickly got out and took the elevator to the sixth floor of Shunde Moore.
At this moment, the entire sixth floor had already been sealed off.
All the guests in the rooms were asked to stay inside and were prohibited from going out.
Four or five police officers were inquiring about the situation of the guests from room to room.
At the elevator entrance, there were also two officers who had drawn a police cordon.
When they saw Mu Rufeng and the others arriving, they were about to scold them, but then they saw Mei Xizi directly showing her department's identification.
"Mysterious Affairs Research Bureau, Mei Xizi."
The two officers were stunned for a moment, then quickly came to their senses and opened the cordon.
The group soon arrived inside the room.
At this moment, there were several police officers in the room and a forensic doctor wearing a white coat and a mask.
"Captain Mei, you finally arrived, it's exactly the same as the bodies found before," a middle-aged police officer said.
"Thanks, Captain Liu," Mei Xizi nodded to the middle-aged officer and then looked toward Mu Rufeng, "Mu Rufeng, it's all on you now."
"Okay," Mu Rufeng nodded.
"Little Ying, come out," Mu Rufeng called out.
The next moment, a Lolita-clad little girl appeared on Mu Rufeng's shoulder.
Little Ying's appearance immediately startled the people around her.
However, they quickly calmed down. Those who could be in this room were either Contractors or Reserve Players or police officers who knew about the existence of Contractors.
"Is this your Contract Demon? So cute," Mei Xizi's eyes seemed to light up when she saw Little Ying.
"Daddy, what do you want me to do?" Little Ying clung to Mu Rufeng's head as if afraid of falling off.
"Daddy?" Everyone suddenly looked at Mu Rufeng with a strange gaze.
"Cough, Little Ying, take out the dark ball," Mu Rufeng said.
"Alright." Little Ying nodded and then vomited out a fist-sized dark ball that landed in Mu Rufeng's hand.
[Ghost Qi Tracker]: This item is developed by the Mysterious Affairs Research Bureau in the Capital.
Effect: Level 2 item, absorbs the target's residual ghost qi, allows tracking within a five-mile range, during which Ghost Power must be continuously injected.
"Little Ying, go back to your Contract Slot, I have other things to do," Mu Rufeng said.
"Okay, but Daddy, can I go play with the pretty aunt?" Little Ying asked again.
"As long as the aunt agrees," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"I agree, I agree, I'm agreeing," Bai Jingwei quickly responded in her heart.
Hearing Mu Rufeng's words, Mei Xizi blushed, and just as she was about to agree, she heard Little Ying happily say, "Thank you, Daddy, the aunt agrees."
As Little Ying finished speaking, she disappeared, off to play in Bai Jingwei's Contract Slot.
Mei Xizi was immediately embarrassed; the pretty aunt Little Ying had referred to wasn't her.
She promptly straightened up and then said, "Mr. Mu, it seems you've contracted your second Abnormality."
"Ah, well, it was a fortunate coincidence. I contracted her during the last instance," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
Wu Peng and Wen Yao were slightly surprised upon hearing this.
They knew that a Contractor with one Contract Demon and one with two were completely different.
Among those of the same level, and even Level 1 Contractors, those with two Contract Demons were definitely stronger.
To boost their own strength, some Contractors wouldn't care about qualifications; if a ghost was willing to form a contract, they would agree.
Although, in the long run, their strength would be greatly limited, they would be very powerful in the early stages.
The most important thing was survival; worrying about the future was secondary.
Moreover, most Contractors thought this way.
Only a few far-sighted Contractors would consider the limit of Contract Demons they could manage.
Then Mu Rufeng brought the black ball over to the three corpses and began to inject his Ghost Power into the black ball.
He placed the black ball on one of the bodies.
Strand by strand of invisible energy was absorbed from the body into the black ball.
Once the energy was fully absorbed, Mu Rufeng picked up the black ball and placed it on another body.
After absorbing the ghost qi from all three bodies, Mu Rufeng took the black ball back.
With Mu Rufeng's operation, a blood-red arrow appeared on the black ball.
"Hmm? That Contractor is actually within five miles of us," as soon as Mu Rufeng saw the arrow appear, his expression changed subtly.
