The midday sun was bright, casting a warm glow over the earth, making people feel a touch of warmth.
But that didn’t include the high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals in the base district; even the Awakened living there felt a chill down their spines at this moment.
Ten minutes ago, it seemed that a mysterious power had put them all to sleep. A few of the Awakened with strong spiritual power even sensed that someone had knocked them out from behind with a punch.
This incident directly caused panic throughout the entire district, and quite a few high and mighty leaders directly questioned the authorities.
At the same time, inside the base office.
A man dressed in a suit, with meticulously styled hair and a face as delicate as jade, slapped the table thunderously, angrily glaring at Minister Long, who was sitting behind the desk playing with a Magic Cube.
He glanced again at He Zhan, who was sitting on the other sofa yawning, and their nonchalant attitude made him extremely furious.
He sharped his voice in reprimand, "Minister Long! Captain He! What’s the purpose of your existence as officials? Now even the district near the base has been invaded by outsiders, and you don’t send more Awakened to manage it?"
However, to his words, Minister Long didn’t look up, turning the Magic Cube and replied, "Sending so many people to protect those good-for-nothings in the district, and then who will handle the paranormal events in the jurisdiction of Chengyang City?"
"You! Isn’t the safety of the leaders more than those civilians..."
Before the words were finished, the Magic Cube in front suddenly opened its eyes, gazing at the suited man with an extremely intimidating look. The atmosphere instantly solidified, as if the air had also ceased to flow.
"Secretary Cheng, watch your words! You’d better not say anything like the leaders’ lives are more important than the citizens’. Don’t forget... to me, you and those leaders are just ants that can be easily crushed." Minister Long said with a chilling smile.
"If you truly want to talk , then I might also put on a superior posture, and then you’d better survive first to continue your nonsensical complaints."
Then he turned his gaze to He Zhan and said, "Brother He, could you please see the guest out and let Secretary Cheng think it through before coming to chat with us again."
Saying that, he directly twisted the top face of the Magic Cube.
In the next second, before Secretary Cheng could retort anything, he found himself standing at the base’s entrance with He Zhan.
Seeing the other party use his powers so unceremoniously, a chill couldn’t help but rise in Secretary Cheng’s heart.
This Minister Long is indeed as infamous as the rumors!
"Secretary Cheng, I won’t send you off too far; you can leave by yourself." He Zhan naturally didn’t have a good face for someone who only knows how to flatter leaders.
In his mind, protecting the people is the first responsibility of an Official Awakened.
"Captain He! Even you..."
"That’s enough; you, overly made-up sissy, when you can also come out of a pile of corpses with blood on your hands to save the people, then come to the base to find me, don’t be shameless!"
He Zhan couldn’t take it anymore, cursed out a couple of words before turning back into the base.
Leaving Secretary Cheng walking away angrily with a flushed face while shouting about impeaching these high-spirited Awakened to the mayor.
But He Zhan didn’t care about any of that.
The employment situation of the Paranormal Handling Department is not something a mere mayor can meddle with, as they are directly under the highest level of the country.
After returning to the office, he found Minister Long staring at the computer screen with a meaningful expression.
Seeing him return, he casually asked, "What do you think about this district intrusion incident?"
He Zhan pursed his lips and replied, "Check it on your phone."
Hearing such a response, Minister Long showed a helpless expression, "You... don’t learn bad from Wu Liang, I remember you didn’t used to be so glib." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn noveⅼfire.net
But immediately, his tone shifted, speaking seriously, "Speaking of Wu Liang, don’t meddle randomly in this matter; leave it to Sun Zhoushan to handle."
He Zhan was no fool and immediately caught the nuance in Minister Long’s words, squinting slightly as he asked, "You mean, this was the work of those two brothers?"
"Hehe, I didn’t say that."
Some things he couldn’t say outright.
Wu Liang’s action of using his authority to investigate Zhang Hang’s files, along with the sensitive lists of people He Zhan claimed to have obtained from Wu Liang.
Minister Long vaguely guessed that today at noon, those two brothers somehow wanted to scare those leaders.
But with Wu Liang’s wits, there must be some special reason for taking such a risky move.
Anyway, they didn’t harm anyone or expose themselves.
So I’ll just cover for them on this matter!
"If Sun Zhoushan handles it, won’t it be troublesome?" He Zhan reminded Minister Long from another angle.
Others might not know, but he knew that Sun Zhoushan becoming a team captain was not by chance; he had solid skills!
But the other party just shook his head mysteriously and said, "You’re underestimating those two brothers. In terms of fists, Sun Zhoushan may not beat the elder brother; in terms of brains..."
Minister Long paused, grinning as he said, "The brain, he definitely won’t beat the younger brother!"
On the other side, Wu Liang was already back home.
He sat silently on the sofa, making the Fierce Ghost Minions in the room dare not make a sound.
The boss’s abnormal state now, whoever approaches is unlucky!
"Puppet, get me paper and pen."
After a long while, Wu Liang finally spoke, and with that, the Puppet Ghost hurriedly went to the room to get the items without any unnecessary impudence this time.
After all, it could still tell the difference between being a fool and courting death.
Then Wu Liang quickly jotted down various information, writing down all the current knowledge on paper.
After doing all this, he took out his phone.
Reopened the prior takeout settlement interface, his eyes gradually softened from icy coldness.
Finally, his expression returned to ordinary calmness, with a mischievous, joyful demeanor.
"Hmm? How come I haven’t ordered food yet?"
After finishing the takeout payment, the Ghost Compendium in Wu Liang’s mind returned to its state of constantly recording Fierce Ghost information.
Those two eerie lines of writing had long since disappeared.
Looking at the paper on the table, he remembered handling Chen Lili, forcibly obtaining banquet and Promised Land organization information from various leaders, and even knocking out a few unrecognized Awakened.
But the changes in the Ghost Compendium during this period, including the subway diary ghost being erased out of thin air.
Wu Liang had no recollection at all!
And it wasn’t just him; even the Fierce Ghost Minions who went out together couldn’t remember that terrifying scene.
Everything related to the Ghost Compendium’s anomaly seemed to have never happened.
"Hmm? Has big data advanced this far now? I just placed the order, and the takeout is already delivered?" Wu Liang said before freezing a bit, "Wait, why does this sound familiar?"
He scratched the back of his head in confusion, stood up, and went to open the door.
The sight that met his eyes was Jiang Min’s face full of worry and tension.
As soon as she saw him, she sighed in relief and said, "Phew... I’m glad you’re back safely."
But then she frowned and asked, "Wu Liang, what really happened that day in Wangsheng Village?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang’s eyes suddenly turned insightful as he began to speak nonsense earnestly, "I dunno, I fainted too!"
"But I dreamt of a ghost..."
"That was my brother."
Wu Ming, the scapegoat master! On the scene!
