The next day, Director Lei and Ke Meng discussed her powers and Ke Meng agreed to attend a lecture before organizing his own Spirituality materials.

• Jin Huiying claimed she had mutated naturally, but Ke Meng noticed that she could hide her Werewolf aura and left Di Ping to question her with an item.

• The Investigation Bureau recorded the Moon God's difficult-to-understand name for translation and learned that Jin Huiying was an isolated Werewolf who had never encountered Werewolf society overseas.
