CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 381: THIS WANG SENTENCES YOU TO A CAPITAL CRIME

The explosion was powerful; the three people lost all consciousness almost without any pain.

Lu Lin, after listening to Ma He’s explanation, somewhat understood why Wang Jianfang had told him Ma He had died just now.

It seems they had reconstructed the scene through some means. At the very least, they had seen through the campus surveillance that Ma He had taken his two sons in the direction of the laboratory.

Now, the laboratory was gone, and the only person capable of entering was Ma He, making him the biggest suspect.

Lu Lin frowned in thought in front of Ma He; there was definitely something fishy about this matter.

How could Ma He do something like this for no reason?

Now that he’s dead, Lu Lin certainly believed Ma He’s words couldn’t be fabricated, but it still seemed too strange.

The Soul Controlling Clan can control people as their puppets, but the prerequisite is to kill the person first to control them.

Yet, Ma He’s spiritual body was still intact, and although his two sons’ spirits were weak, they still truly existed.

This posed a problem.

There were obvious loopholes in Ma He’s story.

Or perhaps, the Alien Race developed new methods to retaliate against Lu Lin.

Whichever it was, it made Lu Lin’s heart boil with killing intent.

It seems that tomorrow it’s necessary to teach Black Shark a small lesson, or the Human Federation would fall into chaos before it even develops.

"Teacher Ma, you should stay here now. I’ll call your sons over later."

Lu Lin said a few words, then exited the Star Power Domain. Ma He didn’t understand what he was saying, but then, with a flash, his two sons suddenly appeared.

After exiting the Star Power Domain, Lu Lin approached Lv Susu, "Senior Lv, I already know what happened."

Lu Lin shared the information he learned from Ma He, while Lv Susu also updated him on the latest discoveries.

In Ma Xiaoxing and Ma Xiaowu’s dorm room, traces of blood were indeed found. Through research, the timing of these bloodstains closely matched the previous speculation.

Combining the news Lu Lin gathered from Ma He, Lv Susu, and the newly arrived Cha Yuan continued their investigation, discovering Ma He wasn’t lying.

Their car indeed initially headed towards Chongnuo City Hospital. Through some surveillance videos, it was seen that the two in the car at the time were visibly in pain, bodies twisted.

But the subsequent videos revealed nothing about the car’s interior.

The Soul Controlling Clan, it must be the Soul Controlling Clan.

Lu Lin was more and more certain.

However, he still didn’t know how the Soul Controlling Clan managed to instigate these events.

From dealing with Soul Six in the morning to his mom and dad’s airplane scare, and then to the laboratory explosion late at night.

What was Black Shark trying to convey?

Even though Lu Lin’s strength grew, he still couldn’t protect those around him?

Or was it that Black Shark just wanted to keep Lu Lin tied down in the Human Federation?

Lu Lin couldn’t figure it out, but the immediate task was to discover why Ma He and his two sons suddenly lost consciousness on the road.

Lu Lin found Ma He’s car, activating the Perceive Star Skill to its fullest.

He didn’t believe in flawless crimes in this world; after controlling Ma He and the others, it was impossible there wasn’t even a trace left.

Cha Yuan didn’t come alone; he brought a specialized investigation team, yet they couldn’t find any clues either.

Lu Lin circled the car, a glint of insight flashing in his eyes.

He found out.

Indeed, it was the Soul Controlling Clan.

On this car, there were traces left behind by two different Soul Controlling Clan members.

Lu Lin coughed slightly, secretly activating the Guiding Star Skill.

He wanted to first locate where these two Soul Controlling Clan members were.

But as soon as it was activated, Lu Lin looked towards the nearby grass with surprise.

On a grass cricket, he actually sensed the presence of the Soul Controlling Clan’s essence.

As previously mentioned, the Soul Controlling Clan usually appeared in the form of a soul body.

The soul body is divided into a main body and sub-bodies. The main body acts like a brain, and the sub-bodies like tentacles. However, there is also an essence, the most important part to the Soul Controlling Clan.

The essence is what their soul body must cling to; without the essence or separated from it, the Soul Controlling Clan would face death once their Soul Power depleted.

This timeframe was typically within 30 days.

Unless some Soul Controlling Clan members found a new, unclaimed essence to attach to within 30 days.

But this was nearly a 100% impossibility.

To the Soul Controlling Clan, the essence was the most crucial thing, something they wouldn’t reveal the location of to anyone.

Yet now, Lu Lin discovered the essence of a Soul Controlling Clan member not more than 20 meters away within the Human Federation, inside the Iron Blood College campus.

A cricket.

The essence of a Soul Controlling Clan member had no attack power and couldn’t teleport; this was something Lu Lin didn’t know.

He was calculating in his mind how to capture this essence most quickly.

After considering for a moment and with no disturbances, Lu Lin made his decision.

First, he would cover it with the Star Power Domain because he had done so once previously, and the other party didn’t flee, so there was a good chance they wouldn’t leave this time either.

Next, he would swiftly annihilate the consciousness within this essence.

With Lu Lin’s current Spiritual Strength, annihilating one Soul Controlling Clan member would only take about 20 minutes, due in part to Lu Lin seeking out this Soul Controlling Clan’s control over hundreds of puppets through the spiritual passageway.

If otherwise, he could eliminate the opponent in an instant.

What followed would be the real harvest.

Lu Lin had a very high chance of obtaining an unoccupied essence of a Soul Controlling Clan member.

After understanding all steps, Lu Lin closed his eyes and released his Star Power Domain.

Perfect, the essence hadn’t noticed, remaining motionless.

Then, it was time...

Lu Lin teleported beside the essence in an instant, as an exotic beast grabbed onto it, while an immense, ocean-like Spiritual Strength surged into the cricket’s body.

"Ah—"

A sharp cry rang out, attracting Cha Yuan, Lv Susu, Wang Jianfang, and Chen Mingli to Lu Lin’s side.

They didn’t know what had happened; how did a scream come out of the blue?

Nearby, there seemed to be no one else but Lu Lin.

Yet, within Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain, a silhouette with two scythes on its head suddenly appeared.

The scythes’ long handles were embedded in the figure’s head, with the blades facing sideways.

The eyes were enormously large, the entire body pitch black, resembling a human form but not quite human.

"Lu Lin, you discovered the essence of the great King of Soul Controlling."

"This king sentences you."

"To a capital crime!"
