Edward is a handsome middle-aged man, and he can vaguely see his handsomeness when he was young.

The appearance of aristocrats or rich children is often not too bad. It doesn’t matter if you are not good-looking, but the wife you marry is just beautiful. After several generations of genetic modification, they are naturally basically all handsome men and beautiful women.

Edward smiled and said to the people in the investigation team with a friendly attitude.

"Please come in."

His attitude was kind, but the people in the investigation team did not dare to overstep and were very cautious.

It’s like the leader telling you, don’t be restrained when you come to the company, just treat it as a home, but if you really treat the company as a home and be brothers with the boss, the former will only make you an excellent workplace king, while the latter means you are not far from being worn with small shoes!

Moreover, even though Edward smiled, he still felt the oppression of staying at a high position for a long time and his aura of being powerful without anger.

This put pressure on the people in the investigation team.

But when they remembered this mission, they remained calm as much as possible: "I'm disturbing."

"If there is any offense, please forgive me."

"As long as I can prove my innocence, everything will be easy."

Edward smiled unabated and signaled the servant to close the door.

Guangtai is also in the ranks of the investigation team. In order to prevent the situation of being bribed, the investigation team's composition is very complicated and many parties are involved.

As an extraordinary person who has repeatedly wiped out the Mist Cultists, Guangta is qualified to participate.

As soon as I walked into this mansion, Guangtai's dog's ears stood up high, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.

Edward sat upright on an elegant chair in the living room, sipped a cup of black tea, and there were exquisite snacks on the table, a book that was spread out.

Judging from his posture, it doesn’t seem like he is being seriously investigated, it’s clearly just enjoying a wonderful afternoon tea time.

Edward's body has been verified and there is no breath associated with the fog.

He also used the extraordinary relics of the lie detector to verify it and concluded that he was not a fog believer.

Even so, some people still have doubts and think that clues can be found in this mansion.

Guangta didn't have much hope for this - no matter whether Edward was a fog or not, since he dared to let them search in such a safe manner, it proved that he had already made complete preparations.

‘So, are you a fog cultist?’

Guangta looked at Edward and thought to himself.

After the incident at the Premium Apartment, he had doubts about anyone, and Edward was no exception.

Guangtai had heard of Edward's deeds several times. When he was young, he left the city alone and lived in the wasteland for three years, and then returned to the city with the remains of a terrifying undead.

He also led his troops to wipe out several gatherings organized by cults and crush their conspiracy.

Then he was at the front line all year round, participating in dangerous actions many times, leaving behind great achievements, which is admirable.

Even though he has slowly climbed to the management level in recent years and has appeared much less often, many elderly people in the Guard Division still remember his deeds.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a meritorious person in Yueyong City.

However, the power of the evil god is so strange. It is taboo. It may replace a person quietly.

He noticed Guangtai's gaze, Edward raised his glass slightly and asked kindly.

"You want a drink, too?"

"Is black tea only possible?"

Guang refused too politely, thinking that he was worthy of being Edward, and could he be so calm in such a situation, or did he really not do anything wrong?

But in Guangtai's heart, the indescribable weirdness became more and more intense.

"Um--"

The light suddenly felt dizzy and covered his head, but in the blink of an eye, the dizziness disappeared, making him wonder if it was his own illusion.

He turned to look at the rest of the investigation team.

The B-level old man, named Wen Tieniu, was also among them, but the old man looked very normal, as if he had not found any abnormalities.

To ensure the accuracy of the investigation, the Guard Division sent two B-level extraordinary people to avoid possible mental interference.

But now, they didn't notice the slightest weirdness.

The investigation was carried out in an orderly manner.

With the inspection of the mansion, even digging the ground and digging the walls, the people of the investigation team finally concluded that there is no hidden anything related to the cult here, it is just an ordinary luxury residence.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Edward, we will report the situation to the top truthfully and wash away your grievances."

The head of the investigation team said sincerely and apologetically.

From the beginning, he did doubt Edward, but when the result came out, the suspicion turned into apology and shame, and he felt that he had wronged the good man.

"We will catch the suspect who spreads rumors as soon as possible and find justice for you."

Edward smiled slightly, as if he had never taken the slander to heart from beginning to end.

"It is indeed necessary to be suspicious, but the arrest of the suspect can be put aside for the time being. The key point now is to rescue the extraordinary people who are missing in the planning area of ​​the new city. Their safety is even more important."

The investigation team members became more and more moved, and they did not expect Edward to attach such importance to them, such extraordinary people.

On the way out, the team members expressed their views one after another.

"Mr. Edward, it's true that he is not a fog cult!"

"Didn't I say it before? Lord Edward cannot be a traitor, it's just that some people are exaggerating."

"Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble? It's really hateful!"

What he said is nothing more than how hateful Edward is, and how innocent the rumor-makers are.

Guangta frowned and a tingling pain in his eyebrows.

The more he recalled the investigation just now, the more strange he felt.

‘Am I really investigating just now?’

There is clearly a memory of the investigation process in my mind, including opening the door, carefully examining each room, asking the servants in the mansion, opening the cabinet, lifting up a few suspicious floors, and chiseling a wall.

These memories are vivid and so real that they can no longer be true.

But why, it seems that there is no real feeling that has been done in reality?

There is a layer of fog between memory and body.

*******

The second floor of the mansion.

Edward was standing by the window, watching Guangta and others walk away, murmured.

"Who will it be?"

"I dare to do this to target me."

"But I want to thank you more..."

Suddenly, pale and distorted appeared on Edward's handsome face, looking like a demon who chose people. His skin was squirming unnaturally, and his bones were twisting, as if there was something to emerge from it.

Then, with a "hiss", the skin on his face suddenly torn apart, and a mouth full of sharp teeth opened on Edward's cheek, almost covering the entire face.

The blood slowly dripped down, and the mouth kept opening and closing, as if it wanted to bite the flesh and blood, looking weird and terrifying.

From the mouth, some murmurs that do not belong to humans were also spit out.

"Sure enough, it still takes some price to deceive the B-level extraordinary person."

Edward's painful expression lasted only for a very short period of two or three seconds. He smiled again, stroked his cheek with his right hand, and his tone was gentle.

"Little baby, stop making trouble."

In just a blink of an eye, when the palms were removed from the face, the blood and torn skin returned to their original state, and the mouth naturally disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Edward turned around and looked into the mansion.

The scene here is definitely not an ordinary and luxurious residence in the eyes of Guangtai and others.

The walls, ceilings, and floors are all made of flesh and blood.

Irregular pieces of meat pile up together.

You can clearly see the texture of the muscles, the blue blood vessels, and they are even moving regularly, which is breathing and blood transporting in the blood vessels.

The entire mansion is alive!

Several pairs of black and white eyes, bloodshot, turned gently on the ceiling, monitoring everything that happened in the mansion.

Those tables and chairs are made of pale bones.

The gorgeous blanket is a scarlet meat blanket, and the flesh on it is swinging.

Occasionally, several serrated mouthparts can be seen, hidden under the flesh and blood, waiting to be fed.

There are also a few human, painful, and twisted facial features.

However, the rest of the house, including the butler, servant, and bodyguard, did not discover the true face of this place at all. They acted as usual, with the maid cleaning, the butler organizing documents, and the bodyguards guarding where they should be.
