Chu He heaved a sigh of relief.

The few people who came just now were the academy’s patrol team.

Especially the man and woman leading them, their cultivation levels were probably not low.

Chu He did not want to have any contact with these mages because he had not figured out if what he cultivated was considered to be magic.

The source of his strength were the mutated cells in his body.

Was this considered magic?

If this was discovered, would he be captured for research purposes?

Chu He felt that before he had enough strength, it was better to stay cautious and low-key.

His priority now was to mutate more cells in his body.

According to the situation earlier when he killed the demonic creature, Chu He discovered that the fastest way to mutate the cells in his body was to absorb the black magic power.

Absorbing the black magic power emitted by demonic creatures, or killing them, could cause more cells to mutate.

Chu He only wanted to continue raising his strength.

The demonic creature he encountered this time was not strong, but who knew what would happen in the future?

If he was weak, he would not be able to fight back against dangerous demonic creatures. That was the most pitiful thing.

Chu He turned on his computer and wanted to check where mysterious events had happened recently.

At some point in time, demonic creatures began to emerge.

Now, they were getting more and more arrogant. Some even dared to cause trouble at the Andrich Magic Academy.

The location of the Andrich Magic Academy was at the town of Carmel in America.

2

This was an exquisite and artistic seaside town on the Monterey Peninsula, a paradise-like place. Many artists and writers of unique styles lived in this small town filled with Bohemian charm. The strange buildings and scenery were as beautiful as in fairy tales.

The dean of the Andrich Magic Academy advocated the idea of integrating into nature, so he had built the school here.

1

With the Andrich Magic Academy guarding this place, demonic creatures rarely came here.

But it was different in San Francisco, which was two hours away.

6

The larger the city, the easier it was to breed and hide criminals.

1

Even in his previous life, those large cities with a dense population often had higher crime rates.

It was the same now. The more populated a place was, the more likely it would attract demonic creatures.

Chu He checked. In a city in San Francisco, there had been more than 150 mysterious incidents in the past month.

Some of them were caused by demonic creatures, while others were done by people who secretly caused trouble.

Although the mages also had specialized troops to deal with these mysterious incidents, they were simply lacking in manpower.

After reading for an hour, Chu He selected a few cases.

These cases could have been caused by demonic creatures.

The first case:

In a private middle school in San Francisco, the news online said that all the girls in a dormitory had been brutally murdered. There were no traces of the murderer.

From Chu He’s point of view, this was likely done by a demonic creature.

This private middle school was famous in San Francisco. It was one of those aristocratic schools.

The security of the school was very tight. There were guards at the front and back doors, patrolling 24 hours a day.

The school walls were five meters tall and there were surveillance cameras everywhere.

Whether it was the field, road, dormitory buildings, or teaching blocks, the surveillance cameras did not have any blind spots.

If there really was a murderer, how could there be no traces left behind?

Could the murderer be invisible?

Or could the murderer fly?

What was even more suspicious was that the private school was suspended and all the students were sent home.

2

The second case:

A factory which produced electronic components exploded.

This kind of factory usually did not have flammable or explosive items. Someone must have set off a bomb.

But according to the police, it was Sunday and the factory was closed.

No one was found in the factory ruins after the explosion.

If there was no corpse left behind, where did the person who caused the explosion go?

4

Could it be a time bomb?

In any case, this was very strange. Chu He suspected that there was a demonic creature involved.

The third case:

The murder of the old federal building in downtown San Francisco.

Several nights in a row, the old federal building had night staff killed in elevators.

2

After the first murder case, there were police officers guarding the building.

There were also people watching the surveillance cameras of the elevator 24/7.

Even so, a few more people died in the next few days.

Chu He definitely would not believe that this was not done by a demonic creature.

How could there be a murderer who would commit crimes in the same elevator for days?

2

Was he crazy?

And with so many police officers watching, how did he do it?

From Chu He’s point of view, these three cases should be mysterious incidents involving ghosts.

Apart from these three cases, there were also some more strange things that Chu He had recorded down.

If he had enough time, he could go and take a look.

If there were any demonic creatures, he could kill them.

1

Once a ghost was killed, the cells in his body would mutate and make him stronger.

1

The next day, Chu He asked for a leave of absence from the academy. He said that he had something to do at home and needed to return to San Francisco.

The academy approved it.

The recent disappearance cases in the academy had made everyone uneasy. Many students wanted to take leave and hide at home.

After leaving the academy, Chu He found a bus headed to San Francisco.

It was a two-hour drive.

It was already four or five in the afternoon when he arrived in San Francisco, the sky was gradually turning dark. Chu He used his phone navigation and arrived at the old federal building.

Just as he arrived before the building, a series of notifications sounded in Chu He’s ear.
