The sky gradually brightened, and the cave entrance became clearer. Except for the Ancient Sorcerer, who was mentally prepared, everyone else, including Fang Daoming, was stunned.
The cave entrance was small and shallow; in fact, it could only accommodate one person sitting. The Ancient Sorcerer was not wrong; at that moment, there was indeed a person slumped inside, but judging by the pale complexion, it was clear that the person had long since lost their breath.
"There's really a person here, and they are already dead."
Fang Miao murmured softly. The person in the cave wore strange clothing, their face as white as paper, eyes bulging like a dead goldfish. Blood was coming from their nostrils and the corners of their mouth, and there were pools of blood on their chest and on the ground.
What was even more chilling was that in front of this person lay a Skull, blood-red but shattered into pieces... Everything looked absolutely abnormal.
"Have you noticed a problem?"
At first, the Ancient Sorcerer calmly surveyed everything around him, but soon his expression changed. It grew increasingly serious.
"What’s wrong? Isn’t this just a wizard? And they’re already dead. Living people aren’t scary, let alone dead ones."
Fang Daoming didn't see any issue with someone being dead, especially someone bad; he had plenty of ways to cover up such matters.
"Yes, Ancient Sorcerer, leave this matter to me to handle."
Fang Miao also didn’t think this was a big deal. The wizard before them clearly looked like someone who had been killed during a duel with the Ancient Sorcerer; it was just the manner of death that was hard to understand. However, they knew there was no need to delve deeper into this matter.
Shaking his head, the Ancient Sorcerer said, "I’m not talking about that issue. Have you noticed that this is a foreigner?"
"A foreigner?!"
Fang Daoming and the others were taken aback. The dead person’s clothing was colorful, and the sight of all the blood on the ground had already been a huge shock for them, so they hadn’t even noticed whether this person was foreign or not.
"That's right! This is indeed a foreigner."
Under the reminder of the Ancient Sorcerer, Fang Daoming and the others also noticed that the corpse before them was indeed a foreigner; the golden hair was definitely not dyed, which was enough to explain the situation.
"This matter seems quite complicated!"
The Ancient Sorcerer quickly began to think. He originally thought that the people from Dashi Village had offended a sorcerer, which led to retaliation through sorcery, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.
"Elder Fang, can you find out what this person's identity is?"
The Ancient Sorcerer looked at Fang Daoming, feeling an uneasy sensation in his heart.
"No problem."
Fang Daoming nodded immediately. He realized that this matter was definitely not as simple as seeking revenge. Whenever it involved foreigners, it was never straightforward.
The Ancient Sorcerer nodded gently. It was important to clarify this person's identity, and it had already exceeded his capabilities. The power that Fang Daoming possessed was just right for handling this situation.
"Secure this area. No one can approach without my command; otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
Fang Daoming issued a stern order to the five soldiers who had followed him.
"Smack!"
Squatting on the ridge, the Ancient Sorcerer lit a cigarette. By this time, the sky had brightened, but the mist had not dissipated, especially in the distant mountains and forests.
Puffs of thick smoke were exhaled from his mouth, and soon there were cigarette butts scattered all over the ground before him.
After leaving the cave and returning to the tent, the Ancient Sorcerer walked alone outside Dashi Village. At this moment, he wanted some quiet time to think carefully about the entire situation.
A foreign wizard? Cursing a village?
If this were just a simple act of revenge against Dashi Village, even the Ancient Sorcerer wouldn't believe it.
If not, then what could it be?
The Ancient Sorcerer's eyes narrowed until only a slit remained, and he vaguely felt that he was touching upon a huge conspiracy, but he couldn't quite grasp what it was all about at that moment.
"Damn it, what is going on here?"
After thinking for a long time without any clarity, the Ancient Sorcerer slapped himself hard on the forehead.
"Ancient Sorcerer, we've found out the identity of that person."
"Found out? So soon?"
Hearing the voice, the Ancient Sorcerer turned around abruptly and saw Fang Miao hurrying towards him, looking quite anxious. Even from a distance, he called out loudly.
"Yes, take a look."
Fang Miao almost jogged to the Ancient Sorcerer's side and handed him a piece of paper.
The Ancient Sorcerer took it and his expression darkened further.
According to the contents written on it, the deceased was named Hainam, a citizen of M Country, belonging to an organization called Doge Ming Tang. His public identity was that of a business manager who entered the country three months ago. As for Doge Ming Tang, it was an information consulting company.
"Because this organization and its personnel have long been on our security watch list, I sent this person's photo back. After comparing it in the database, we found out immediately. Three years ago, we suspected that their people entered under the guise of business to engage in illegal activities; we just never found substantial evidence."
In fact, when Fang Miao saw this information, she was also shocked, as it was enough to indicate that the situation was far from simple.
"Check it out and see where this Organization has been in the past few years. Focus on collecting whether they have visited places where strange diseases or other inexplicable events have occurred."
Ancient Sorcerer's voice was as cold as ice; even if one thought about it with their knees, it was clear that this Organization definitely had no good intentions!
"No problem, but this will take some time. Ancient Sorcerer, what do you think about this matter…"
"It's too early to say, but it's definitely not a trivial matter. Also, tell your grandfather to be extra cautious during this time."
Fang Daoming is a big shot in the military, yet he has been cursed by someone, and the entire Dashi Village has fallen victim to a strange disease caused by a foreigner. This foreigner belongs to an Organization that is on the military's watch list. Is there a connection between these two events?
Ancient Sorcerer couldn't be certain yet, but being cautious would not lead to any major mistakes!
"Okay, I will make sure he pays attention."
Fang Miao also nodded seriously; her background and professional training made her aware of the severity of the issue.
"Ancient Sorcerer, I think you can let the relevant departments conduct a comprehensive analysis of the motivations behind this matter. I believe those people should be able to deduce something."
Ancient Sorcerer's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily, saying, "That's a great idea!"
Fang Miao's suggestion was indeed excellent; this matter felt like a fog to her mainly because she had too little information. The people she referred to were professionals engaged in intelligence analysis and were experts in their field, so they would certainly be more effective than her trying to figure it out alone.
