“It's not easy to get rid of the Holy Grail's control!” Brother Bing's deep voice came through:

“The Fallen Holy Grail is a rule-based item. What is rule-based? I don't need to explain, right? Anyone controlled by the Holy Grail can never escape for life. Death is the only end.

“I am subject to the Holy Grail and cannot disobey Judge Guiyan's orders. Join forces? Join forces with Judge Guiyan to kill you?"

The Demon Lord chuckled:

“Only rules can counter rules. I have found a way to counter the Holy Grail, which can allow you to break free from control temporarily.”

Brother Bing's voice was a little hurried, with a trace of tremor: "Really?"

The Demon Lord's hoarse voice laughed: "In the Night Watcher profession, there is a rule-based item, um, let's call it a rule-based item for now. It symbolizes the ultimate power of the sun and is the nemesis of all filth in the world. When I get it, I can suppress the Fallen Holy Grail."

Then there was a long silence.

Just when Zhang Yuanqing thought the audio was coming to an end, the Demon Lord's voice sounded again. He said softly:

“Back then, you accidentally obtained a character card and encountered a Spirit Realm. You chose to call the police and chose to trust the Security Department, but what was the result? Waiting for you was a glass of 'poisonous wine'. You trusted the authorities too much, in all senses of the word.

“Your talent is very strong, and your future is limitless, but when you were still a fledgling, Judge Guiyan broke your wings.

“Over the years, you have estranged yourself from your family and brothers, and you have been suffering from the erosion of the Fallen Holy Grail every day, living in misery. Are you willing to accept this? Cooperate with me. It's time to break free and spread your wings and soar. I need your strength.”

Okay…

The audio finally ended.

Zhang Yuanqing sat at his desk, motionless for a long time.

Finally, he finally understood the cause and effect, but he wasn't happy at all.

So you were Judge Guiyan's "servant." No wonder you didn't mention Spirit Realm professionals to me, no wonder you estranged yourself from me after going to college, no wonder your personality changed drastically. How have you been doing these years? Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and didn't move.

A dozen seconds later, he rubbed his face hard, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.

“At least, at least Brother Bing might still be alive…” Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, regained his composure, and began to sort out the matter:

Before Brother Bing went to college, he accidentally obtained a character card and became a Spirit Realm professional. After encountering a supernatural event, what would a normal person choose to do?

The answer is definitely: report to the Security Department!

Then, he was controlled by Judge Guiyan.

Judge Guiyan has planted his own people in some Security Departments. Zhao Yingjun, who was killed by Ou Xiangrong, is one example.

“But if Zhao Yingjun was also a servant of Judge Guiyan, how did he pass the general physical examination? No, he may not be a servant, but also a collaborator.

To this day, I have long understood what kind of organization the official is. Its huge size means that the internal affairs are mixed, and it is impossible for everyone to have justice in their hearts.”

He continued to sort out:

The Demon Lord found a way to suppress the Holy Grail, which is a rule-based item of the Night Watcher profession. So, the Holy Grail really had a problem. So,

Black Impermanence chose to contact the Night Rose, because the leader of that organization is a Night Watcher. The problem of the Holy Grail can most likely only be solved by a Night Watcher. This detail matches.

But the leader of the Night Rose cannot help Black Impermanence for free. There must be benefits involved. What benefits can Black Impermanence give the other party?

It is definitely not the Fallen Holy Grail, but the rule-based item of the Night Watcher? This can probably only be judged after figuring out the state of the Fallen Holy Grail.

Brother Bing sent me the character card after the Demon Lord died, and at that time, the Demon Lord and Judge Guiyan had already died. After sending the character card, Brother Bing disappeared immediately.

He definitely didn't die, but for some reason, he had to go into hiding.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a few seconds and believed that the reason for Brother Bing's "disappearance" was to suppress the pollution in his body.

Because, although Judge Guiyan was successfully killed, the Fallen Holy Grail fell into the hands of Black Impermanence, and the Holy Grail had a problem and could not be used normally, then Brother Bing probably had not been released from the control of the Holy Grail.

“Brother Bing may have a way to temporarily suppress the pollution… Well, this is just a guess and remains to be verified… But why is the task he gave me

to obtain the roster instead of the Holy Grail?”

Suddenly, Zhang Yuanqing's pupils trembled violently. He thought of a scalp-numbing thing.

Judge Guiyan's roster recorded the Spirit Realm professionals he controlled.

And Brother Bing was Judge Guiyan's "servant".

Once the authorities get the roster, know Brother Bing's true identity, and learn the truth about Brother Bing and the Demon Lord hunting down Judge Guiyan, then, even a fool can imagine that he, Yuan Shi Tianzun, is the Demon Lord's successor.

Black Impermanence, who controls the roster, should know Brother Bing's identity information, but Black Impermanence does not know that Brother Bing sent the character card to his good brother.

Due to the asymmetry of information, he will not notice him for the time being.

However, if Black Impermanence knows about this, the identity of the Demon Lord's successor will also be exposed.

The worst thing is that the Night Rose, which is secretly contacting Black Impermanence, has claws lurking in the authorities and knows of the existence of the Demon Lord's successor.

Once the two sides start talking about this…

No wonder Brother Bing wants me to find the roster, with a higher priority than even the Fallen Holy Grail. Zhang Yuanqing's back almost broke out in cold sweat.

He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Although he had previously followed Brother Bing's instructions and participated in the search for Black Impermanence, he did not know the importance of the roster, so his attitude was not very active.

Now it is different. Now he feels that members of the Taiyi Sect may come to check his water meter at any time, or that people from the Night Rose may be plotting against him.

Don't be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more confused you will be. And the search for Black Impermanence is a long-term task, so you can't rush it… Zhang Yuanqing stabilized his emotions and continued to analyze.

“Black Impermanence, the Night Rose, and the authorities. The information asymmetry between these three forces is something I can use. After the death of Xiahou Xin,

the Night Rose will definitely speed up its cooperation with Black Impermanence, and I don't have much time left…”

“Search for Black Impermanence through official channels, investigate the Night Rose through the Zhisha Palace. By the way, I can also go to the Nameless Hotel for help. Evil professions may have more or less overlap.”

If he is not forced to do so, he really doesn't want to have contact with the people at the Nameless Hotel.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing thought of Xiahou Xin's death during the day.

“Night Watchers have the ability to see fate. According to Fu Qingyang, it seems that they have to be face to face to see it? And this kind of skill should only be able to see short-term fate…

“Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to silence him just when we were about to attack Xiahou Xin, but would have directly silenced him as soon as the Xiahou family came to Songhai. No,

it would have been to let the Xiahou family go back home.”

If that's the case, then that's good.

At the same time, Zhang Yuanqing thought of the beautiful old hag and the meaningful smile she gave him.

Did she also see my fate? But for a long time after I completed the trial mission, there were no major waves.

Why did she show that kind of smile?

Zhang Yuanqing stayed at his desk until 5 a.m. before dozing off on the table.

“Aba Aba”

In a daze, Zhang Yuanqing heard Little Doubi's call.

He woke up and saw Little Doubi climbing onto the desk, supporting his body with his short, stubby arms, looking at him with his shiny eyes, taking credit.

On his sparse lanugo hair, he was wearing a wallet.

Phew, it's not underwear… Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then became furious:

“If you're not stealing women's underwear, you're stealing wallets. Are you a child or a hooligan? I've taught you since you were young to be an upright child.”

“Aba,” Little Doubi tilted his head and looked at his master aggrievedly, not understanding why he was scolding himself.

This wallet is quite thick… Zhang Yuanqing reached out and took it, opened the wallet, and saw a thick stack of red banknotes.

His angry expression immediately disappeared, and he looked conflicted: “Too, too much…”

Looking more closely, he found an ID card. Oh, it's his uncle's wallet. Then it's okay.

As the inheritor of his uncle's mantle, Zhang Yuanqing took out three hundred-yuan bills, put the wallet back on Little Doubi's head, and whispered:

“Return the wallet.”

“Aba,” Little Doubi received the instruction, moved his limbs to the edge of the desk, and like a little seal, leaped down to the ground, then nimbly moved his hands and feet, passed through the wall, and disappeared.

At the dining table, his aunt was biting a meat bun, her cheeks bulging, and said:

“Mom, did you find my underwear?”

His grandmother scolded: “Who knows where you lost it? I searched everywhere and couldn't find it.”

His aunt looked suspicious: “I clearly remember putting it in the bamboo basket, how could it be gone?”

She immediately stared at her nephew, "Did you take it?"

Before Zhang Yuanqing could speak, his grandmother slapped her daughter on the head, and said angrily: “Nonsense, why would Yuanzi take your stinky clothes? If you say that kind of thing again, I'll beat you to death.”

“That's right, she only knows how to smear me.” Zhang Yuanqing said righteously.

Little Doubi took it. He added in his heart.

However, if grandma finds out, then I'm done. I'll be kicked out of the family.

After breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing took a taxi to Fojiawan.

After contacting Fu Qingyang, he waited at the entrance of the residential area for a while, and the young lady from yesterday came.

“This is the access card that the centurion gave you. The white one is for the residential area, and the black one is for the villa.” The young lady with long legs in black stockings smiled and handed over one black and one white card.

Zhang Yuanqing's plan for today was to first "report" his reasoning to Fu Qingyang, pointing out the possible problems with the Fallen Holy Grail, so that Fu Qingyang would know the whole story.

Of course, he couldn't say it directly, but had to unfold it in the form of discussion.

Then, he would contact the Zhisha Palace and inform them of Xiahou Xin's silencing. Finally, he would go to the Nameless Hotel to inquire about information on the Wugu Master circle.

The black-stockinged young lady led the way, smiling:

“The centurion was preparing to rest. After receiving your call, he asked me to come and pick you up.”

“Rest?” Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.

“The centurion has been up all night. He must have encountered a bottleneck in the case.” The black-stockinged young lady smiled gently: “I've been following the young master for a long time, and I've never seen him so troubled by a case. You have to help him more.”

Zhang Yuanqing nodded. Soon, he came to the entrance of the luxurious villa again.
