• Wei Yue cannot force further information from Jieao because her Blood Moon Envoy aura is incomplete. Lin Qi then reveals his own far more authentic Blood Moon aura.
• Jieao immediately recognizes Lin Qi as the genuine Blood Moon Envoy, believing that the envoy encountered on the railway was an impostor. His reaction confirms that Lin Qi’s disguise and aura are extremely convincing.
• Under Lin Qi’s questioning, Jieao reveals that he first sensed the Blood Moon Envoy twelve days earlier, around 3 p.m., while the envoy passed through the Waterside Famous Residence area by railway. Contact with local Blood Moon Worshipers continued every three days afterward.
• Lin Qi leaves Jieao to Wei Yue, ordering her to extract any remaining intelligence and then deal with him. Jieao’s desperate claims that he is a murderer and fugitive only reinforce Lin Qi’s belief that he deserves death.
• Lin Qi prepares a report for Ding Yang, explaining the envoy’s timing, route, and contact pattern. He suggests that railway and survivor-camp records should allow the General Headquarters to identify the suspect.
• He offers Magic University Camp’s assistance if the General Headquarters cannot safely deal with the envoy.

Character Developments

• Lin Qi: Demonstrates both his strategic intelligence and the terrifying effectiveness of his Blood Moon aura. He shifts from gathering intelligence to actively planning a way to identify and eliminate the hidden Blood Moon Envoy. His dual life continues to strain him, but his Extraordinary constitution allows him to function as an exceptionally capable “corporate workhorse.” He also becomes more conscious of his growing position within United Pharmaceutical.
• Wei Yue: Acknowledges her limitations as an incomplete Blood Moon Envoy but remains cooperative and useful. She accepts responsibility for continuing the interrogation and handling Jieao.
• Brother Jieao: Changes from evasive and guarded to completely submissive once confronted by Lin Qi’s aura. He becomes desperate to gain Lin Qi’s approval and openly boasts of his criminal past to prove his devotion to the Blood Moon.
• Liu Xuan: Acts decisively in organizing the escort mission and appears to intentionally highlight Lin Qi’s authority as a United Pharmaceutical board member when introducing him to her uncle. Her wording hints that she may be positioning Lin Qi within a corporate power struggle.

• Institutional control and logistics: The investigation depends on railway routes, survivor-camp records, and strict document transport systems, showing how information and bureaucracy remain vital even in the post-apocalyptic world.
• Exhaustion and duty: Lin Qi is constantly moving between two worlds, balancing meditation, military-level threats, corporate obligations, and escort missions. His extraordinary stamina allows him to continue, but the workload highlights the cost of his responsibilities.
• Corporate power struggles: The S-level Potion literature is valuable enough to attract black-market bounties, while Lin Qi’s board position places him in the middle of tensions between major corporate families and industries.

• Lin Qi and Liu Xuan: Their professional relationship continues, but Liu Xuan’s deliberate introduction of Lin Qi as a United Pharmaceutical board member hints that she expects him to assert corporate authority.
• Lin Qi and Liu Xinglu: Their first meeting is outwardly courteous but tense. Liu Xinglu evaluates Lin Qi as a possible rival or threat, while Lin Qi secretly assesses and dismisses the practical danger posed by Liu Xinglu’s cybernetic body.
