Early morning.

Da Peng City Investigation Team.

“Holy shit!”

In the cafeteria on the second floor, Zhou Ye, who was eating a steamed bun, suddenly shouted muffledly, excitedly slapped Brother Bi’s thigh, almost making the older brother spit out his soup.

“You son of a—!”

Just as Brother Bi was about to scold him, he caught sight of someone sitting down next to them out of the corner of his eye.

Turning his head to look over.

A familiar voice rang out, “How come everyone’s meals have gone to such standards after just a few days?”

“Pei Jinye?” Brother Bi was stunned to see Pei Jinye appear.

Pei Jinye smiled and said, “I’m back.”

“Have you eaten?”

Before Brother Bi could finish his question, Zhou Ye eagerly asked, “Are you alright? We heard about what happened in the Western Continent… was it you and Chief Lin? I’m not lying, I was scared to death at that time. The whole Western Continent was almost boiling over, did you really challenge the Gongsun Family? They’re so unscrupulous, actually sealing off a city. I heard many people died.”

Before he could finish, Brother Bi stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

“Stop blabbering. The higher-ups have made it clear three times over not to discuss this matter, and you’re still gabbing, aren’t you afraid of losing your slot as an outstanding team member?”

After being scolded by Brother Bi, Zhou Ye shrank his neck and became obedient.

Brother Bi looked at Pei Jinye and also glanced around before speaking in a low voice, “The team has publicly announced that you and Chief Lin went to the city for research, and that the affairs of the Gongsun Family have nothing to do with you guys. Make sure you don’t slip up.”

Pei Jinye nodded in understanding.

Knowing that they were unaware of the other matters in the Western Continent.

He couldn’t help but marvel at the Federation’s ability to lock down information when they got serious.

However, such things probably couldn’t be kept under wraps for long.

If his memory served him correctly, many people outside still believed the Transcendent was on his senior sister, Lin Xiawei.

After leaving the cafeteria.

He happened to run into Gu Wutong, who was still rubbing his temples, obviously still troubled by the “after-effect” from last night.

Seeing Pei Jinye, Pei Jinye playfully teased, “How about two more drinks at noon?”

“I’m afraid not today, I still have a mission,” Gu Wutong replied, now feeling the urge to vomit at the mere mention of alcohol.

Watching the young man flee in panic, Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle.

In the short term, this guy was probably too scared to drink with him again.

Turning a corner and going upstairs.

Pei Jinye knocked on Lin Xiawei’s office door.

But no one was there.

He was about to use his mobile phone to call Lin Xiawei when, coincidentally, Old Liu, the communication soldier passing by, saw Pei Jinye and came forward to ask if he was looking for Chief Lin.

“Yes, where is she?”

“Chief Lin just took a call and left suddenly. If you need anything, I can pass the message when she returns,” Old Liu said.

“It’s nothing.”

Pei Jinye responded amiably but looked at his cellphone with suspicion.

He didn’t think much of it.

He then turned around to meet up with Brother Bi and Zhou Ye.

“So how is it today, do we have a mission?”

“You’ve got good timing, there’s a murder case… If we can solve this mission, our bonus will be at least this much.” Zhou Ye excitedly gestured with ten fingers.

“Ten bucks?” Pei Jinye’s words made Zhou Ye’s excited expression freeze for a moment.

Brother Bi, looking like a fool being teased, ignored Zhou Ye’s comment and turned his head to Pei Jinye, saying, “The Night Patrol Department couldn’t handle it—they said they couldn’t find the murderer, so the mission was transferred to us. Same old rules, you take the notes.”

Pei Jinye nodded.

Brother Bi drove the car, with Zhou Ye sitting in the passenger seat.

The three of them left the Investigation Team’s Base while talking.

Behind them, from a certain window, Ms. Xu Jing held a slim lady’s cigarette in her hand, exhaled a ring of smoke, and silently watched the direction in which Pei Jinye disappeared.

At her side, a voice from Second Uncle Gu Wutong suddenly broke the silence, “The signal blockade in Shang Huai City is still without concrete news up until now… I fear it’s not the work of the Western Continent Official, even the Ouyang Family has come out to confirm it.”

“Not the force of the Western Continent?” Ms. Xu Jing lowered her head and pondered briefly, “Things are getting more interesting. To be able to block an entire city’s signal, this move is definitely not from an ordinary person. What organization could have such power? It’s hard to imagine. Such a force, once it launches a network invasion, its lethality could hardly be inferior to an Extraordinary Seventh Rank making a move.”

She paused.

Second Uncle Gu Wutong mentioned something intriguing, “Out of boredom, I did some checking and unexpectedly discovered that after this young man Pei Jinye left Shang Huai City… it was as if he had vanished into thin air, I actually couldn’t find any trace of him at all.

Honestly, I thought it was just my own oversight.

After confirming three times, after leaving Shang Huai City, it’s as though this guy evaporated from the human world, I scoured all traces but found no clue to his whereabouts.”

“Why are you looking for him?” Ms. Xu Jing asked calmly while holding the cigarette, “Everyone has secrets, you’d better not get too involved in his affairs. After all, he is the Closed-door Disciple of the Old Dragon King. If you annoy the Old Dragon King, beware I might not be able to save you.”

Second Uncle Gu Wutong coughed dryly, “It’s just out of idleness, wanting to see if he has someone tailing him, to owe him a favor. But unexpectedly, this kid is too elusive. No wonder he dared to retreat alone back then.”

“Haven’t you thought about it? If he were an ordinary person, would the Old Dragon King have specially recruited him? Back then the Old Dragon King had already used up his recruitment quota, but for this kid, the Old Dragon King made the Knight Order break the rules, which led to quite a bit of controversy.” Ms. Xu Jing seemed to know a lot.

Second Uncle Gu Wutong speculated with a thoughtful tone, “It seems… he has reached Third Rank?”

Ms. Xu Jing was slightly startled, “Are you sure?”

“Nearly certain.” Second Uncle Gu Wutong chuckled lightly, “Such a young Third Rank, I reckon as soon as headquarters confirms it, this kid will quickly become hot property. Just a pity…”

“A pity what?” Ms. Xu Jing raised an eyebrow.

“Pity that Xiao Wu isn’t a girl, otherwise they could make a good match.” Second Uncle Gu Wutong genuinely felt regretful.

Ms. Xu Jing couldn’t help but pull at the corner of her mouth, “You really dare to think.”

“Heh, heh, heh…”

…

…

“Conducting environmental testing… there are traces of Transcendent energy fluctuations, Jinye, record this—it’s the Fire Element Power, very weak, probably just awakened not long ago.”

Brother Bi stared at the equipment and spoke gravely.

Pei Jinye quickly took notes.

“Brother Bi, Old Pei, look.” Zhou Ye suddenly found something.

Pei Jinye and Brother Bi looked up to see that, after some special powder was sprinkled on the wall, a series of bloodstains had appeared.

The blood had splattered across half of the wall.

“`

This scene utterly stunned Brother Bi, making his mouth gape wide open.

“Holy shit, is this the blood of just one person?”

Zhou Ye was also shocked and stood beneath the wall, not knowing what to say for a moment. He hesitated after opening his mouth, “This looks like, perhaps, more than one person died here…”

“No shit, it’s definitely more than one person. Report it quickly, this is absolutely a major case, everyone keep your cool,” Brother Bi said urgently.

An inexplicable tension tightens in his chest.

He had a bad premonition.

He always felt like something was silently watching them from the shadows.

However, he couldn’t quite articulate this strange feeling.

Standing behind the window, he looked around warily, even taking out a special pair of binoculars to survey the surroundings.

“What’s up?” Pei Jinye asked as if he were oblivious to worldly matters.

Brother Bi couldn’t help but shiver, rubbed his shoulders to shake off the goosebumps, and, after making sure they weren’t being watched, he cleared his throat and said, “It’s nothing, the weather might just be a bit hot and dry.”

Pei Jinye retracted his gaze.

With his perceptual power, if there were something happening nearby, it wouldn’t escape his “eyes”.

It has to be said that Brother Bi was indeed too nervous.

The three of them quickly reported the matter.

Soon, the Investigation Team arrived to secure the scene.

Zhou Ye felt somewhat regretful, “So many people have come to split the reward, I’m a bit unsatisfied.”

Brother Bi said grumpily, “You have to be alive to spend that money. The scene has been tampered with, which means the culprit is either experienced or backed by an organization…”

“Didn’t you say he just awakened his power?” Zhou Ye suddenly asked.

Brother Bi nodded, his expression serious, “If it’s an experienced Element Master, then when they wield their power, the fluctuations of the Fire Element would be smooth. But look at the fluctuations on this data line, erratic highs and lows indicate that the person still can’t fully control this ability… Very strange, naivety mixed with guile, this is damn odd.”

Pei Jinye was listening quietly.

He was merely playing the role of a qualified Investigator.

Since the task authority had been handed over to his superiors, his job was just to follow along. He wasn’t trying to stand out or take charge.

In the car.

Brother Bi subconsciously reached for a cigarette, only to realize he had smoked his last one long ago.

He looked up at Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye also patted himself down.

He looked up.

“None left.”

Brother Bi listlessly watched as colleagues from the Investigation Team bustled about.

It was then Zhou Ye asked in a low voice, “Has some demon cult emerged in Da Peng City?”

“Given the situation, I’m worried it’s some sort of initiation ritual… I hope I’m overthinking it,” sighed Brother Bi.

Pei Jinye suddenly looked up.

Above their heads on the tall trunk of a tree, a black crow with shiny feathers was perched on a long branch.

If it weren’t for the slight swaying of the branch, Pei Jinye might not have noticed the black crow at all.

The corners of his mouth faintly curled up.

Interesting.

“I’m going to take a leak,” Zhou Ye suddenly said, heading for the public restroom in the distance.

Brother Bi cursed him jokingly for being lazy… but before he could finish, he clutched at his stomach and followed, saying hurriedly, “Jinye, stay and watch the car. Contact us about anything.”

After the two left, Pei Jinye looked toward the branch.

In an instant,

he locked eyes with the black crow.

The crow’s agile eyes quickly moved away but kept glancing at Pei Jinye now and then. After a short while, it took flight.

Pei Jinye pretended as if he had noticed nothing.

Three minutes later.

An explosion burst forth in a ball of fire from the public restroom 300 meters away.

The passing Investigators were stunned on the spot.

Pei Jinye teleported there immediately.

Seeing the two men safe in the corner, he let out a sigh of relief.

“Are you okay?”

“Damn, that was too close. Who the hell is it, I’m going to tear him apart!” Zhou Ye cursed, evidently relieved.

Brother Bi, clutching his submachine gun, rushed outside and returned not long after, cursing as well.

“Damn it, you better pray I don’t catch you!”

Pei Jinye, on the other hand, was staring at a line of words on the wall, raising his eyebrows slightly.

As the flames dissipated,

only four words remained on the wall.

[Mind your own business.]

People were this brazen these days?

He looked at Brother Bi.

Brother Bi, staring at the writing on the wall, quickly reported it.

That day,

The Investigation Team held a full assembly.

Pei Jinye could only say, never underestimate the execution of an official organization.

Especially a law enforcement agency!

That evening, Brother Bi, cradling his submachine gun… It might have been the most aggressively he had acted in years.

“Like blowing up toilets, do you? I’ll let you blow up enough at once! Tie him up!”
