Snail Girl

Chuunibyou told Li Banfeng that the so-called special mission was to capture a person surnamed Han, but his identity was still unknown.

Li Banfeng then asked, "Was the arrest process smooth?"

Chuunibyou nodded. "It went smoothly, with basically no effort. The arrest site was a villa. When we arrived, this guy surnamed Han was already trapped inside the villa."

"How did they get trapped?"

"There's a Dark Energy Carrier in that villa that can cause people to lose their sense of direction. We watched the security footage on the way here; the suspect, surnamed Han, wandered around the villa for over two hours but couldn't find the exit."

The door was actually nearby, but he couldn't find it. He eventually jumped out of the third-floor window, but opening the window triggered another Dark Energy Carrier, binding him completely.

After he was tied up, Director Shen ordered us to arrest him. We sent so many people, but all we did was some cleanup work.

Li Banfeng asked, "How did Director Shen know that this man surnamed Han would go to that villa? And why did he order you to assemble in advance to prepare for the arrest?"

Chuunibyou said, "I heard from the other team members that this guy surnamed Han had appeared near the villa many times. He was probably there to scout the place, but Director Shen didn't rush to make a move. He waited until Han really took the bait before letting us arrest him."

Li Banfeng fell into deep thought when he suddenly heard Crabapple shout in the corridor, "We caught a big one!"

"What's big?" Li Banfeng asked as he went out.

Crabapple quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Director Li. I just caught a centipede, and it made a lot of noise. The bureau asked us to catch insects, and if I can't catch one, I won't be able to explain myself."

The Light Bulb watched from the side, quite envious. "She caught one; the strongest worm should be hers."

Li Banfeng recalled the task of catching insects.

Find the strongest insect, feed it the poisoned bait, spread the poison, and wipe out all the insects in one fell swoop.

When the Star saw Crabapple holding the centipede, he went up to flatter her, saying, "Sister, you caught an extraordinary insect. It's even bigger than the dragonfly that Big Head caught. This prize money is definitely yours!"

Crabapple looked at the centipede in her hand. "It's hard to say. I think that one is bigger. I'll go find Big Head to compare them. Where's Big Head?"

"Big Head, listen to me. You don't know me, but you can't say you don't know me at all. You know who I am."

"But we have no contact whatsoever—." In the new plot of Flower Lake Park, He Jiaqing, whose face was covered in sores, was looking at Big Head.

Big Head asked in surprise, "Jiaqing, what's wrong with you?"

He Jiaqing shook his head and said, "Don't call me Jiaqing, you don't know He Jiaqing."

"What are you saying?"

"Big Head, I've changed so much, I'm completely different from the He Jiaqing you used to know. Do you still consider me your brother?"

"I accept it!" Big Head's gaze was firm. "No matter what you become, I'll always consider you my brother!"

He Jiaqing nodded and said, "I'm different now. I'm not He Jiaqing anymore. Now that you acknowledge me as your brother, He Jiaqing is no longer your brother. Do you understand?"

Big Head looked blank; he couldn't understand.

He Jiaqing was also very anxious. The Fool Cultivation Skill was useful, but it was very difficult to use. He Jiaqing really didn't have much talent in the Fool Cultivation Skill.

"Big Head, remember what I said. If you're willing to go to Pro State, come with me now. I'll find a way to bring your son and daughter-in-law over."

If you don't want to go to Pro State, you have to listen to me. You're not familiar with He Jiaqing, and the brother you're familiar with isn't named He Jiaqing.

Big Head was getting more and more confused. "If your name isn't He Jiaqing, then what is it?"

"Your name is Han Mingqi?" Shen Jingye was questioning the suspect in the interrogation room.

"Yes." Han Mingqi nodded. He had already been arrested by the Dark Star Bureau, so there was no need to hide his name.

Shen Jingye continued, "What were you doing at the Tiancheng Community No. 9 Villa?"

"I'm short on cash lately, so I'm thinking of going to a rich family to pull off a heist—" Before he could finish speaking, Han Mingqi seemed to be choked and immediately suffocated.

No one around touched him. His face was bluish-purple, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he was about to die.

Shen Jingye shook his head slightly and tapped the table with his finger.

With the pressure in his throat gone, Han Mingqi caught his breath and coughed for a long time.

Shen Jingye said expressionlessly, "You're lying."

Han Mingqi looked around and suspected that there was Spiritual Object in the house.

Shen Jingye was quite frank. "No need to look. There's a carrier of the Judges's Dark Energy Carrier here, what you often call a Spiritual Object for cultivating virtue."

This Dark Energy Carrier is at a much higher level than you; you are not capable of fighting it.

Its characteristic is that it will continuously increase the severity of punishment. This time it's suffocation, next time it will be even more severe. Are you prepared?

Han Mingqi lowered his head and remained silent.

Shen Jingye laughed and said, "I'll ask you one more time, what were you doing at the Tiancheng Community No. 9 Villa?"

Han Mingqi remained silent.

Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "Silence will be interpreted as resistance by this Dark Energy Carrier."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Mingqi trembled, as if an electric current had passed through his body.

A few minutes later, Han Mingqi, covered in sweat, spoke up, "I went to that villa to find the Medicine Cultivator Kang Zhenchang."

"What do you want with Kang Zhenchang?"

"To cure illness."

"Who are you treating?"

Han Mingqi didn't want to answer. After waiting for less than a minute, he felt as if a layer of his skin had been peeled off.

"He Jiaqing! It's He Jiaqing! He's my friend. He's helped me a lot. He's sick, a very serious illness, and only the Medicine Cultivator Kang Zhenchang can cure it."

When he said these words, Han Mingqi was not harmed by the Dark Energy Carrier, which proves that he was telling the truth, the truth within Han Mingqi's understanding.

Shen Jingye continued, "Where did you get Kang Zhenchang's address?"

"He Jiaqing told me," Han Mingqi replied shrewdly.

Within his understanding, this was indeed the truth.

He Jiaqing was already wanted by the Dark Star Bureau, so one more crime wouldn't matter much.

But while this trick might fool the Dark Energy Carrier, it wouldn't fool Shen Jingye: "Did He Jiaqing tell you directly?"

Han Mingqi's lips trembled, making it difficult for him to answer.

Shen Jingye asked again, "Did he tell you directly, or did someone relay the message?"

Given the choice between the two options, Han Mingqi could only answer truthfully, "Someone relayed the message—"

"Who relayed the message to you?"

"Yes—" Han Mingqi hesitated slightly, feeling as if another layer of skin had been peeled off his body.

"It's Zhu Junlong." Han Mingqi was forced to tell the truth.

"What does this Zhu Junlong do?"

"Yes, it's the owner of the Tea Mountain Hotel—."

The interrogation came to an end, and Shen Jingye walked out of the interrogation room and gave the order, "Immediately arrest Zhu Junlong, the general manager of Tea Mountain Hotel, seal off the hotel, and keep all staff and guests in the hotel for questioning."

For this arrest operation, Shen Jingye called on Li Qi.

In the car, Shen Jingye asked Li Banfeng, "Director Li, what was your relationship like with He Jiaqing when you were in Pro State?"

Li Banfeng shook his head slightly. "I didn't have much contact with him in Pro State, so I don't know him very well."

On this vehicle, there is also a spiritual Spiritual Object that can force others to tell the truth. It is at around the eighth level, Li Banfeng can sense the power of this Spiritual Object.

Unfortunately, this Spiritual Object was no match for a Cloud Above Cultivator, and what Li Banfeng said was indeed the truth. He had almost no contact with He Jiaqing in Pro State, and he really didn't know He Jiaqing very well.

This Spiritual Object has limited intelligence and is far from being a magic weapon. Li Banfeng could sense it using his Discern Spiritual Sounds Technique; this thing couldn't distinguish who its master was.

Shen Jingye nodded and said, "That's true. I heard from General Envoy Liao that when you were a nobleman, He Jiaqing spent most of his time in Yuezhou."

He has deep roots in Yuezhou, Tea Mountain Hotel is one of his key assets. We've made quite a haul this time; I reckon we can wipe out this whole group in one fell swoop.

Li Banfeng deliberately asked, "How did you find out about the Tea Mountain Hotel?"

"This is the result of the joint efforts of everyone in the bureau—"

As he spoke, Shen Jingye's right hand reached for the switch next to the car door.

It's a very clever switch; it looks like it's used to control car windows.

But actually, this switch has nothing to do with the car window; it's used to control the Dexiu Spiritual Object.

He needs to shut down the Judges's Dark Energy Carrier, otherwise he too will be affected by the dark power and will have to tell the truth.

Before he could even touch the switch, Li Banfeng shoved a bottle of water into his right hand. "Little Shen, let's forget about grades. Let's talk about specifics. How exactly did you find the clue about the Tea Mountain Hotel?"

"This is an important result we have achieved through our long-term investigation and research—." Shen Jingye was a little anxious. He put down the water bottle and reached for the switch next to the car window.

He successfully turned the switch off, and Li Banfeng turned it back on at lightning speed.

Because Li Banfeng was moving extremely fast, Shen Jingye didn't notice at all, and was still spouting nonsense. "In preparation for this operation, the entire bureau had already made meticulous plans targeting the Tea Mountain Hotel three months ago—"

A jolt of electricity ran through Shen Jingye's body. Shen Jingye trembled for a moment, then looked at the light switch by the window and then at Li Qi beside him.

Li Qi sighed and said, "Little Shen, there's no need for the platitudes. Just be more specific about the work."

Shen Jingye wiped his sweat and said, "Director Li, let's discuss the specifics back at the bureau. Some of the details involve classified information."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Okay, the operation is over. Come to my office."

Even if Shen Jingye hadn't said anything, Li Banfeng could have deduced about 70-80% of it.

After leaving the archives, Big Head went straight to the Tea Mountain Hotel, obviously to deliver a message to He Jiaqing.

The message he sent was an address, instructing He Jiaqing to go to a certain person.

He Jiaqing sent a man surnamed Han to find this person, which resulted in Han being arrested.

The reason he was arrested was simple: the address that Big Head stole from the Dark Star Bureau was originally a trap, just like the Magnetic Vibration Cannon.

The man surnamed Han went to the villa and first scouted the place frequently, but he didn't find anything suspicious. Then he fell into a trap and got trapped in the villa, which meant he handed himself over to Shen Jingye.

Shen Jingye apprehended the man surnamed Han, interrogated him rigorously, and followed the clues to the Tea Mountain Hotel.

Extending outwards from the Tea Mountain Hotel, He Jiaqing's subordinates in Yuezhou will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the Hand and Foot Alliance's influence in Outer State will be severely damaged.

The archives room on the twelfth floor should be renamed the fishing pond on the twelfth floor.

Just like the insect-catching activities organized by Shen Jingye, through a selection process with a certain degree of difficulty, they lured in a mole with a certain level of strength, and through the mole, they directly exposed the opponent's forces.

Li Banfeng was very interested to see how extensive He Jiaqing's network of influence was in Outer State, but when they arrived at the Tea Mountain Hotel...

However, they were unable to find Zhu Junlong.

Shen Jingye sent people to scout the location beforehand. Zhu Junlong has been staying at the hotel for the past few days, so why did he suddenly disappear today?

Not only did Zhu Junlong leave, but several important hotel staff members also disappeared.

He Jiaqing moved faster than Shen Jingye.

Shen Jingye announced that the hotel would be sealed off immediately, and all staff and guests would be detained for questioning.

The staff and guests were terrified, but thankfully they weren't the main suspects and filled out questionnaires.

After being questioned, everyone else left the hotel, but Big Head's wife was left behind.

She didn't know why she was left behind, nor what had happened at the hotel.

It was getting late, and she wanted to call Big Head to ask him to pick up the child from school, but her phone had been confiscated.

She kept pleading, just wanting to make a phone call, but the people around her were indifferent and no one responded.

What she didn't know was that contacting Big Head was useless now; Big Head had been kept at the station and was in a worse situation than her.

Li Banfeng said to Shen Jingye, "Little Shen, arrange for someone to pick up Big Head's child from school and bring him home, and get him some food."

Shen Jingye frowned and said, "Many issues surrounding Zou Guoming haven't been clarified yet. The current focus is—"

"As long as the investigation isn't complete, Big Head is definitely someone from the Dark Star Bureau. If someone in the bureau gets into trouble, it's your duty to take care of it." As he spoke, Li Banfeng kept looking at Shen Jingye, his expression calm and his tone gentle.

Shen Jingye felt a chill run down his spine. He called Chen Changrui over, gave him a few instructions, and Chen Changrui arranged for Tangkuai to pick up the child.

The trail at the hotel seems to have gone cold; the informant has escaped. Shen Jingye has returned to the Dark Star Bureau.

They set their sights on the Big Head next.

Did he already know that Big Head had barged into the archives?

Why didn't he take action sooner to control the Big Head?

Li Banfeng found Shen Jingye's actions hard to understand, but he couldn't be Shen Jingye, since Shen Jingye hadn't suspected Big Head before.

The main point of suspicion surrounding Da Big Head is that his wife works at the Tea Mountain Hotel.

Back at the Dark Star Bureau, Shen Jingye personally interrogated Big Head: "Guo Ming, you're a veteran in the bureau, I don't need to repeat the rules."

It's better for you and your family to clear things up sooner rather than later. You know the consequences if you deliberately hide it.

After speaking, Shen Jingye pressed the switch under the table, activating the Judges's Dark Energy Carrier.

His first question was, "Do you know someone named Zhu Junlong?"

Big Head nodded and said, "I know him. He's the owner of Tea Mountain Hotel. My wife works at Tea Mountain Hotel."

That's the truth.

Shen Jingye then asked his second question, "How did you meet him?"

"I worked with him as a laborer on the construction site."

Before Big Head joined the Dark Star Bureau, he had gone through a tough period, and Shen Jingye knew about it.

"Can anyone testify for you?"

Big Head thought for a moment and said, "Back then, construction sites didn't even check ID cards when hiring laborers. I don't know if I can still find that contractor, or if he even recognizes me."

Shen Jingye didn't press further about what happened at the construction site, but continued to investigate their relationship, "You and Zhu Junlong have always been close?"

Big Head recalled for a moment, "When we were working, we were really good friends. He gave all his money to his mother's medical treatment, and he couldn't bear to eat anything himself. He would only have two steamed buns for each meal. I would buy some meat every few days and bring him some as well."

Later, I stopped working on the construction site and basically lost contact with him. At the beginning of last year, my wife lost her job, and the Tea Mountain Hotel posted a notice that they were hiring a lobby manager. I took a few extra glances at the entrance.

Zhu Junlong happened to be at the door. He recognized me. I didn't expect him to have made it big and become a hotel owner. He said he would save this position for my wife, so I let her work there. He even gave my wife a dormitory room and helped my son get a school place, saying it was to repay a debt of gratitude.

Shen Jingye kept his eyes fixed on Big Head.

No changes were observed on Big Head's body.

He was telling the truth, the truth within his understanding, the truth that He Jiaqing had taught him word by word.

Shen Jingye glanced at the list of questions he had prepared beforehand, skipped Zhu Junlong's page, and turned to the questions about He Jiaqing.

Do you know He Jiaqing?

"Know."

How did you meet him?

"Team Leader Chen introduced me to him."

"What does this have to do with Chen Changrui?" Shen Jingye thought there would be an unexpected gain.

Big Head calmly replied, "During He Jiaqing's hospitalization, Team Leader Chen instructed me to regularly monitor his condition."

Shen Jingye was somewhat displeased. "I'm asking about things outside of work. What kind of contact do you have with He Jiaqing outside of work?"

"There has been no contact."

"Repeat it." Shen Jingye checked the state of the Dark Energy Carrier.

Big Head remained calm. "We have no contact."

This is not the result Shen Jingye wanted.

Logically, the fact that there was no contact between the subordinates and the suspect should be a good thing for the Dark Star Bureau.

However, the data room had already been compromised. Apart from Han Mingqi, no one was caught in the end, which was not a very good result.

Of course, one interrogation is not enough to prove Big Head's innocence.

There are also many issues to confirm with Big Head's wife, so we can't let her go for the time being.

But what about the children with Big Head?

Chen Changrui returned to the team, gathered the team members, and arranged for people to take turns going over to take care of him.

Shen Jingye went to Li Qi's office and recounted the process of capturing Han Mingqi, but he didn't mention the archives.

But when they talked about the ambush they had set up beforehand. "That villa was a trap we set, and everyone who stepped into it deserved their fate."

Li Banfeng asked, "How many more traps like this are there?"

Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "I haven't compiled the specific figures yet. Our deployment and preparations cover every aspect; there are no blind spots—."

There were no Spiritual Object for cultivating virtue in Li Qi's office, Shen Jingye felt he could be a little vague in his speech.

But after Li Banfeng put down his teacup, he reached under the table and made a motion as if to press a switch.

Click!

Shen Jingye vaguely heard the sound of a switch being turned on.

What switch did he press?

Could there be Judges or a vessel in his house?

Who installed it for him?

Did he bring it with him?

Does Pro State have something similar?

Shen Jingye tensed up instantly, but Li Qi calmly said, "Little Shen, don't be nervous. I'd like to hear about the specifics of the work. Besides Han Mingqi, did you gain anything else this time?"

"There are no others yet—"

"Little Shen, be honest." Li Qi stared at Shen Jingye and gave him a solemn reminder, which sent a chill down Shen Jingye's spine.

After a moment's thought, Shen Jingye changed his answer, "As for gains, there were some in Pro State, Xiao Zhengong was arrested."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi's expression was genuine; he was taken aback. "Which Xiao Zhengong are you talking about?"

"It's Xiao Zhengong, the one you killed," Shen Jingye smiled slightly. "Isn't it strange? He clearly died at your hands, everyone says he died at your hands, but now he's alive again."

Where is he now?

"It's in the Guanfang Main Hall, in the hands of General Envoy Liao."

Liao Zihui asked, "You mean you entered the Dark Star Bureau's data room and found the method for manufacturing the Magnetic Vibration Cannon?"

Xiao Zhengong picked his nose with his thumb, his expression slightly disdainful. "I'm telling the truth. I have special magical artifacts and Spiritual Object that can block cameras and open the door to the archives."

Do you know how to look up information?

"I don't know much; I find everything myself using magical artifacts."

"Magic artifacts that can locate things are rare. What's the origin of yours?"

"It is a black glove, which is said to be the transformation of Yu Zhongbao, the previous leader of the Ghost Hand Gate."

"Yu Zhongbao— " Liao Zihui thought for a moment, "Yu Zhongbao seems to have only been the sect leader for less than two years."

Xiao Zhengong put his feet on the desk and slowly said, "In the second year of his reign, the Ghost Hand Gate was going to do a big business deal. The news leaked out, and Yu Zhongbao was ambushed and died on the deal. The old leader, Xie Juncong, who had already retired, had no choice but to come out of retirement again and take charge of the sect once more."

Liao Zihui looked at Xiao Zhengong and felt that something was wrong. This man was indeed very arrogant, but the real Xiao Zhengong would not answer questions so smoothly.

Seeing that Liao Zihui remained silent, Xiao Zhengong continued, "My Black Glove was exceptionally useful; it could easily open the Dark Star Bureau's data room. But now that Black Glove is missing; it's probably in Li Qi's hands..."

"Are you Xiao Zhengong?!" Liao Zihui suddenly shouted, interrupting Xiao Zhengong.

Xiao Zhengong shuddered and quickly took his foot off the desk. "I, yes, that's me!"

"Is it or isn't it?"

"I am."

Liao Zihui pondered for a moment, then asked, "Weren't you beaten to death by Li Qi? How did you come back to life?"

Xiao Zhengong couldn't explain it clearly, he could only recount his personal experience. "I just felt like I took a nap..."

When he woke up, he was already alive; this was due to the Inner State magic used by Spider Bin.

"Does the Inner State have such magic?" Liao Zihui asked with interest. "I reckon you probably know a little bit of this magic too, right?"

Xiao Zhengong shook his head repeatedly. "I can't."

"Besides Spider Bin, there must be others who can do it, right?"

"I have no idea."

Liao Zihui was displeased. "Since it's Inner State magic, surely there are Inner State people who know it, right? You've been Balance Person before, so you can surely point me in the right direction, right?"

I asked you before which people from the Inner State you knew, but you had a bad temper and wouldn't tell me. Now I see you're much better-tempered, so maybe we can talk about it?

"If you're having trouble, get together with a few people from the Inner State and have a chat. We won't take their magic for nothing; we'll give them good stuff, and I'll talk to them properly. Maybe we can actually close this deal."

Does Liao Zihui really want to do business with people from Inner State?

Things aren't that simple.

Liao Zihui initially wanted to use the Balance Person to establish a stable communication channel with the Inner State, but both the previous and Balance Person were gone, and the channel was never established.

Now Liao Zihui really wants to test whether his initial approach was correct.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhengong's aura returned. He leaned back, tilted his head, and said, "General Envoy Liao,"

I connect with people from Inner State through Sage Peak. If you trust me, let's head there now—

Liao Zihui was silent for a moment, then pointed the gun at Xiao Zhengong's forehead. "What did you just say to me? You said you were going to Sage Peak? Do you think you're a particularly interesting person, and that I especially enjoy teasing you?"

Xiao Zhengong flinched, trying to keep his forehead away from the gun barrel. He had no idea what was going on at Sage Peak.

Looking at Xiao Zhengong's arrogant expression, Liao Zihui thought, "It's really Xiao Zhengong's unique skill to make his face look so smug."

But looking at his trembling body, his courage was far inferior to that of Xiao Zhengong.

What is Xiao Zhengong's state after his resurrection?

This situation is very special. The real Xiao Zhengong is a frequent visitor to the Guanfang Hall and has a great disdain for the Guanfang Envoy.

But the bandit Yu Dacheng had never been to the Guanfang Hall in his entire life, and he would tremble at the sight of the Guanfang Envoy.

The "Xiao Zhengong" before us is in a hybrid state of the two.

Liao Zihui asked, "Besides Sage Peak, don't you have any other way to contact the people in Inner State?"

Xiao Zhengong smiled dismissively, "There's no other way."

Liao Zihui shouted angrily, "Think about it again?"

Xiao Zhengong shuddered again, his expression still disdainful. "There's also the Soda Kiln. There's an entrance to Inner State there, and there's a gatekeeper there who's a pure-blooded Inner State. I don't know where that place is, but Spider Bin has been there. Chen Weixin took him there."

"You've met Chen Weixin?" Liao Zihui was pleasantly surprised.

"I've seen him. He took Spider Bin out for a while, and when they came back, only Spider Bin was left. Spider Bin was also accompanied by the famous general Zhao Xiaowan."

"And the famous general Zhao Xiaowan?" Liao Zihui didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. He was worried that the recorder wouldn't have enough paper and pens. "Write it down, write it down word for word, and you guys who are recording, too."

"Take photos, burn records—don't skimp on anything, record it all perfectly."

Two hours later, the interrogation ended, and Liao Zihui hummed a little tune as he walked towards his office.

Deputy General Envoy Wei Yingsen stepped forward and said, "General Envoy, we've gathered so many clues this time, shouldn't we take immediate action?"

Liao Zihui: "What action?"

Wei Yingsen said, "Immediately arrest Dabo Ensi, find out Zhao Xiaowan's whereabouts, and locate the entrance to the Inner State."

Liao Zihui frowned and asked, "What are you arresting? What are you asking? What are you looking for?"

Wei Yingsen was stunned for a long time. "No, well, we've captured Xiao Zhengong, such a rare opportunity, we definitely have to—"

"What opportunity?" Liao Zihui demanded. "Have you finished your report?"

"Report? It's not written yet—"

"What are you talking to me about if you haven't written a report? Write it, give it to me for review tomorrow, and then we'll discuss it further!" Liao Zihui hummed "Roses Bloom Everywhere" as he entered the office. "Roses, Roses Bloom Everywhere, youth, youth is everywhere, the unstoppable spring breeze blows into my heart—."

Wei Yingsen glanced at Tang Huanjie: "Huanjie, you've always been in charge of the Balance Person act, shouldn't you be writing this report?"

Tang Huanjie glanced at Wei Yingsen and smiled, saying, "Roses Bloom Everywhere, youth is everywhere—"

He hummed a little tune as he returned to his office.

That evening, Tang Huanjie accompanied Liao Zihui to Carefree Dock to listen to music, while Wei Yingsen stayed at the Guanfang Hall to write a report.

The secretary would first write a draft and submit it to him for review. After the review, he would personally revise it.

He wrote back and forth until 3:30 a. m. Wei Yingsen asked his secretary to go to sleep first. He took the report and read it through. He confirmed that there were no omissions. Then he looked in the mirror.

The reflection in the mirror showed a sallow complexion and bloodshot eyes.

With a smile, he slapped himself across the face, pointed at the mirror, and cursed, "Serves you right for talking so much!"

Looking back at the report, all I know is that people from Inner State are in Soda Kiln. Soda Kiln is huge, where can I find them?

Shi Gongxing, holding a wrench, huddled behind the machine tool, motionless.

He was the only person in the huge workshop, and at the far end of the workshop, the sound of bubbling and rising could be heard from time to time.

Is it that crucian carp skeleton?

No, it doesn't need to breathe, so it can't produce so many bubbles.

Glug glug~

A giant snail emerged from the mud beneath the pool.

She wriggled to the side of the crucian carp skeleton, and her pair of tentacles on her head carefully touched the bones.

"Who did this to you?" Tianluo asked, her voice like that of a gentle woman.

Call!

The crucian carp suddenly turned around and took a big bite out of the snail.

The snail was furious when a piece of its flesh was bitten off.

She wasn't angry at the crucian carp; she was extremely angry at the murderer.

She took off the snail shell from her body and brought it to her mouth.

She burrowed into the mud, blew the snail shell, and sent a signal of revenge to her people.

PS: City Lord Sun's move is going to cause a big stir.
