Mo Fan was picking his teeth, waiting for Lingling to share her new discovery.

Xinxia sat down beside him and looked at Lingling.

Lingling was drinking a glass of iced cola as a refreshment after eating her share of the hotpot. She brought her laptop over and showed the information she had organized to Mo Fan and Xinxia.

“The disease can happen to anyone, and it isn’t contagious. It’s more about a person’s body constitution. I didn’t find a common pattern between the patients for two days.”

“Therefore, I tried analyzing the data of the people who didn’t catch the disease, and I found this!”

A huge list of names appeared on the screen.

The size of the list was nearly that of a city’s population. Lingling had already compressed the data. The list would have been much longer if she had expanded it.

“Why are you showing their names to us?” Mo Fan asked with a confused face. He did not see any pattern from the names.

“Ever since the plan of establishing Headquarters Cities was carried out, the five Headquarters Cities currently have lots of people that have moved over from the cities along the coast. The people of certain cities end up moving to different Headquarters Cities.”

“Every name on this list is from the same city, Lanyang.”

“I think that’s a big city between Magic City and Feiniao Headquarters City?” Xinxia had a slight impression of the city.

There was an institute in Lanyang that was renowned for its expertise in the Psychic Element. It was ranked top three in the country. Xinxia once saw it as one of the options to pursue her studies.

“A third of the people of Lanyang have moved to Magic City, another third have moved to Feiniao Headquarters City, and the rest have moved to the capital and Beast Capital.

“The strange thing is, not a single person who is from Lanyang has caught the disease. The city has a huge population, and judging by the ratio of the people who have caught the disease, more than ten thousand of the people from Lanyang should have caught it, but none of them has caught it so far. It

looks like they are naturally immune to it.”

Lingling tapped on the screen to reveal the city of origin of the people on the list.

They were all from Lanyang!

“The people from Lanyang are immune?” Mo Fan repeated in surprise.

“Mm, I believe so, but a disease doesn’t select its prey according to their city of origin, so I believe it has something to do with Lanyang’s environment,” Lingling said.

Xinxia raised her thumb to Lingling. Lingling was a true genius to find a pattern among the people who had not caught the disease.

“We should go to Lanyang right away!” Mo Fan rose to his feet.

Lingling rolled her eyes and said while tapping on the screen, “You don’t have to do everything yourself, including the early process of collecting information.

“I’ve already hired a group of Hunters to collect data on Lanyang. Guess what I found?” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Mo Fan saw the adorable smirk on Lingling’s face. He pinched her face and said, “Stop keeping me ona tenterhook.”

Lingling slapped Mo Fan’s hand away and snorted, “Take a look yourself!”

The screen switched to a photo.

The photo had a modern city in the background, but it looked deserted. There was a factory close up in the image with complicated pipes.

“A drinking water factory?” Mo Fan asked.

“Mm, it’s a drinking water plant. It supplies the whole city with drinking water. The water is clean, so the locals can drink directly from the tap,” Lingling pointed out.

“So the water is the reason why they are immune?” Xinxia’s eyes glittered.

“Yes, but they have to drink it for a long period. A normal person will have to drink the water for three years to be immune, so it’s not the solution we are looking for, but the thing that makes the water special should have a better effect on curing the patients,” Lingling said.

Lingling switched to another image. The photo showed the same factory, but it was a photo of the main entrance. “Mo Fan, take a look at the company’s logo,” Lingling pointed.

The main entrance had a huge logo on it, drawn with light green paint.

“What about the logo? It’s some kind of delicate artwork?” Mo Fan did not notice anything special about the logo.

“Don’t you find it familiar?” Lingling hinted to the dullard.

Mo Fan tried hard to recall, and abruptly realized its outline was similar to a pattern he had looked at for a long time.

The mysterious feather! The Totem Seal he had received from Professor Shi!

It was the same as the company’s logo!

Mo Fan was shocked. He gasped, “Did the Totem Beast open a drinking water plant?!”

Lingling just looked at Mo Fan like he was retarded.

Xinxia giggled. She had long been brainwashed by Mo Fan’s idiot humor since they were younger.

“The company provided the whole city with drinking water and made its people immune to the Low Body Temperature disease. It must be somehow related to the Totem Beast with the mysterious feather. Otherwise, it wouldn’t use the Totem Beast’s feather as its logo!” Lingling declared.

That was the big reason why Lingling was so excited.

She was initially helping Xinxia find a pattern of the disease, but she had discovered an important clue related to a Totem Beast during the process!

They had been looking around, trying to find the Totem Beast with the mysterious feather, but they were clueless about where to start. Even Jiang Shaoxu’s brother had only mentioned it several times, but it had branched off to many other Totem Beasts, which hinted it was a powerful and ancient Totem

Beast!

Mo Fan did not expect they would discover a clue to an ancient Totem Beast out of nowhere!

“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Mo Fan blurted out.

The Four-Eyed Bird was also one of the branches of the mysterious Totem Beast. The Four-Eyed Bird had granted Mo Fan a powerful ability. How could Mo Fan not look forward to the ancient Totem Beast’s power, now that they had discovered a clue about it?

“The Sharkmen had taken over Lanyang, The Hunters I hired could only collect some basic information, as they don’t dare to dig any deeper. We can now assemble our team. Lanyang is worth investigating!” Lingling smiled triumphantly..
