wife and in-laws in flames, burning them to a crisp.
You can say that he was forced into a corner and was desperate.

“Can you imagine just how dangerous it was? He was a pyromaniac who appeared in a storage room filled with flammable and explosive objects, and above him was a market.
There were countless citizens shopping and eating there.”

Meng Chao was engrossed in the story.
He could not help but hold his breath.

“Everyone was helpless.
The firefighters were even brought in to extinguish a huge fire in the market.
But Shen Yupeng went into the storage alone and managed to capture the crazed pyromaniac.
He didn’t let him light up even a single newspaper on fire.”

Meng Chao could not help but ask, “The pyromaniac didn’t take action?”

“He did,” Lu Siya said.
“The pyromaniac tried to light Shen Yupeng’s heart on fire, but Shen Yupeng forced that offensive magnetic field to his left pinky, and in the end, his left pinky was burnt to a crisp, but the other parts of his body remained unharmed.

“After the incident, Shen Yupeng admitted that he took the initiative to lure the pyromaniac into attacking his heart.
It was only by doing so that he could ensure that the flammable and explosive objects around him remained in a stable condition, so the safety of the citizens on the surface would be assured.”

Meng Chao broke into cold sweat as he listened.
He could not help but heave a long sigh of relief.
“Why… haven’t I heard it on the news?”

“You haven’t heard a lot of things.
After all, superhuman criminals are too sensitive.
The Survival Committee doesn’t want the normal citizens to think that they are living with human-shaped bombs that are about to explode at any moment.
So, they usually do not reveal the details of such cases to the public.
Even if it shows up in the news, it is only mentioned briefly,” Lu Siya said.

“In truth, the more superhumans train, the stronger spirit energy they contain.
The organs in their bodies, including their minds, change, and it makes it easier for them to get lost, to change, and to become corrupted.
There might be monsters in the wild, but there are also monsters in the depths of the human heart.
We have to fight against two types of monsters, and both types of fights are equally fierce and devastating.
But the second fight is even more dangerous and tragic.

“But I digress.
It looks like the secret police has sent Shen Yupeng to handle the case of the pets killing their masters in Blessed Paradise.
This guy is very smart and capable.
If we want to be ahead of him, we have to speed up.
Let’s go!”

Lu Siya walked into the elevator heading to the underground parking lot.

“Where are we going next?

“We’re eating.” Lu Siya sat down in her race car and snapped her fingers.
She released a spirit energy electrical arc and activated the crystal engine.

While she was driving, she brought out a thick stack of files so that Meng Chao could read it.

Meng Chao took the files and read, and he found that the stack contained an investigative report which had been done regarding the case of the pets killing humans.

There were also high definition pictures of the crime scene, statements from witnesses, brief introductions to Spirit Creations Creatures and Heavenly Works Machines, the construction case for Subway No.20, which they were competing for, the background report on the third victim, who was an employee of Heavenly Works Machines, and other information.

Meng Chao gave it a brief glance and noticed that the case happened between ten and twelve at night two days ago.
The three biochemical pets who got out of control lived with their owners in three different apartments in Blessed Paradise, and there was less than one hour between the time each of them lost control.
Once they killed their owners and ate them, they rushed out of their houses, and the neighbors, who heard the noise and rushed over, worked together to kill them.

Based on the witness testimonies, there was nothing different between the three biochemical pets.

At that time, all of them had bloodshot eyes, foamed at their mouths, and twitched neurotically.
These were typical symptoms of dogs infected by mutated rabies.

The background investigations of the first two victims were rather simple.
He could not tell whether they had any relations with Spirit Creations Creatures or Heavenly Works Machines.

The third victim was from Heavenly Works Machines, and hence, his background check was performed in greater detail.

He was a machine master by the name of Jin Yongqiang.
Twenty years ago, he graduated from the short machine associate degree course in the University of Technology.

At that time, Dragon City was prepared to enter the Great Construction Era.
It was in dire need of talented people who could operate construction machines.
Hence, it opened up a lot of training classes and crash course schools.
The value of the certs was pretty high as well.

After graduation, Jin Yongqiang entered Heavenly Works Machines, and with his experience of working for years at the frontline and the resources provided by his company, he rose to the peak of Earth Realm and became a licensed machine master.
It helped him become a middle-level manager in the company.

However, he did not have a firm foundation and was not very talented, so when he became middle-aged, his progress stopped.
It had been a long time since he awakened any skills, and he was not a pillar of strength in his company.
He was just a gear that could operate stably because he had been working hard for years.

His colleagues in the company and the neighbors in Blessed Paradise did not have a good impression of Jin Yongqiang.

It was mainly because he was addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money over the past two years.
He had even pawned off his private apartment in Blessed Paradise.

His private life was also a mess.
After his wife died in a monster invasion, he began flirting with women.
Recently, he had cohabited with a woman who was younger than him by twenty years, and he spent a lot of money on her.

The investigation report also mentioned that Jin Yongqiang faced a lot of financial pressure.

But this did not seem to have a huge relation to how he was killed by his biochemical pet…
