Ning Luoxi rushed to the place that was precisely that cellar, and at this moment, four team members were already waiting at the door.
"Thunder Wolf, what's the situation?" Ning Luoxi asked with a frown.
"Well, how to say, the instructor will understand once you go in yourself." Thunder Wolf hesitated a bit, not knowing how to explain.
Ning Luoxi didn't ask further, and led the four team members inside, where she saw the entire mess of the cellar.
"Instructor, you've handled mysterious events more than once, what is going on with this cellar?" Thunder Wolf asked, puzzled.
Ning Luoxi carefully walked inside, circled around the cellar, and finally stopped at a place. She bent down and touched the ground, frowning and said, "Someone once died here? Right below my feet."
"A dead person? But where's the corpse? I surveyed it just now, there's no trace of the body being moved in the cellar, unless..." Thunder Wolf said puzzlingly, finally seeming to guess something.
Ning Luoxi glanced at him and said, "You're correct. The person who died is utterly dismembered, not a single scrap remains."
"Damn, who is so ruthless? Killing someone would take just one stab, why bother obliterating all traces?" Thunder Wolf shook his head in confusion.
"It's hard to say this is obliterating traces. This situation is very similar to what I saw last time at the shrine. If someone falls into a sea of insects, the Gu worms will instantly devour them clean, leaving no remains."
"Look again at the ground, walls, and even the ceiling around the cellar, all have weird liquid traces. From experience, these should be traces left by Gu worms crawling over, meaning that during the battle in the cellar, the whole place was a sea of insects." Ning Luoxi calmly analyzed.
If Lin Tian were here, he would surely be amazed at Ning Luoxi's analytical and reasoning ability, which was like being present personally, analyzing almost the real situation.
"Then what about these fragments?" Thunder Wolf pointed at the broken glass and shattered jars on the ground and asked.
"The fragments are scattered in concentric circles, very much like a bomb exploding scene, but there's no smell or residue of explosives in the cellar. If I'm not mistaken, it might be the Secret Master who practiced witchcraft on ordinary people releasing a large-scale dispersive witchcraft, causing things in the cellar to shatter." Ning Luoxi analyzed.
Thunder Wolf nodded and said, "If the combatant was that Secret Master, who was the Secret Master's opponent? Who was the person dead on the ground? Is the Secret Master dead or not?"
"This place belonged to the planning and renovation area a few years ago, residents moved away long ago. The Secret Master chose this secluded place for the Spiritual Cultivation Class, ensuring no one saw the whole battle process. Whether the Secret Master and his opponent are dead or alive, only heaven and earth know." Ning Luoxi shook her head.
"Haha, even the instructor is making jokes now." A team member laughed, saying such words as heaven and earth know weren't what the instructor used to say.
"The instructor seems different since coming back from Xikou City, becoming more feminine." Another team member also joked.
"You bunnies, how dare you joke about the instructor, are you tired of living?" Thunder Wolf gave them a stern glance to reprimand them.
Ning Luoxi glanced indifferently at Thunder Wolf, scaring him into immediately shutting up, adjusting his expression seriously, then solemnly said, "Instructor, who has this capability to get ahead of us to confront the Secret Master first?"
Ning Luoxi furrowed her brows as if she was thinking. Thunder Wolf, seeing he successfully shifted the instructor's attention, felt greatly relieved inside.
"Instructor, Thunder Wolf, discovered something, uh, you'd better come take a look..." The voice of a team member simultaneously came through their earpieces, sounding somewhat strange.
Ning Luoxi immediately turned around and headed out of the cellar, and after walking away, Thunder Wolf glared at the team members again, saying, "You bunnies, how dare you joke about the instructor, do you want to be punished?"
"Thunder Wolf, didn't you notice? The instructor didn't punish us this time. If it was before, we'd definitely be punished." A team member said puzzledly.
"Yes, since the instructor returned from Xikou City, she changed quite a bit, becoming more feminine. Did she meet her true love in Xikou City and start dating?" Another team member gossiped.
"Now that you mention it, it seems so." Thunder Wolf also nodded with seriousness.
"You four, after returning, write the talisman taught by the Heavenly Master a thousand times. If not completed within a day, the punishment doubles." Ning Luoxi's voice suddenly came from afar outside, and the expressions of the Thunder Wolf and the four members immediately fell apart.
"A thousand times, over! Those talismans are like ghost scribbles, just seeing them gives me a headache, writing them a thousand times will drain my life!" A team member said bitterly.
"Indeed, I'm more suited to drawing chickens pecking rice." Another member wailed.
"I'd rather run around the playground a hundred times." The last team member's expression collapsed.
Thunder Wolf gave them a stern glance to reprimand them, "Stop showing such bitter looks, drawing a talisman like it's taking your life, the instructor does it for our own good. Think about it, which of the instructor's punishments isn't essential for survival in battle? Stop complaining and hurry there, otherwise a thousand turns to two thousand and then you'll really have reason to cry."
After saying this, Thunder Wolf turned to leave, but as he turned around, his serious expression immediately collapsed, bemoaning inside, a thousand times, really draining my life.
When Thunder Wolf reached the Meditation House, Ning Luoxi was there handling a laptop.
"Little Lang, where did this laptop come from?" Thunder Wolf asked a team member.
"I was questioning these people just now, they are assistants of the Spiritual Cultivation Class instructors. They know there are surveillance cameras in the classroom, and the surveillance footage is stored in this computer." Little Lang replied.
Thunder Wolf nodded and also looked at the computer screen, as Ning Luoxi was opening the surveillance video at this time.
The footage first shows a spacious classroom, then gradually more people enter, and as time passes, the number of people increases.
In the video, two more people entered, a man, and a woman. These two were captured from the side, and the video's quality wasn't clear enough, but Thunder Wolf felt the man seemed familiar, as if he'd seen him recently.
The man and woman entered the classroom and turned to sit down, now both facing the camera directly, allowing Ning Luoxi and Thunder Wolf to finally see the man's face clearly.
Seeing the man's face in the video, Thunder Wolf and the others were dumbfounded, and he finally understood why the team member's voice was so strange, they must have seen this person.
Ning Luoxi looked at the man in the video, motionless, with no change in expression, but her eyes flashed inexplicably.
Thunder Wolf cautiously said, "Instructor, is this... Lin Tian?"
