Staring at the blood light for a few seconds, Zhang Yuanqing received an enlightenment in his mind. The source of the blood light was from weapons and warfare, indicating his cousin would be in mortal danger recently, and the cause of death would be a sharp blade piercing a vital point.
The source of the danger was unclear, but it was highly likely related to the missing persons case. His heart sank, and he immediately lost his appetite. He was inexplicably grateful that he had asked an extra question and had the sudden impulse to observe his cousin's face.
If he hadn't taken that extra look, it was very possible that his cousin would have died young.
Zhang Yuanqing felt a wave of lingering fear.
Now that he had become a Star Official, he should make good use of this ability. From today onwards, he would look at the faces of his family members every day to grasp their recent fortunes in time, he silently made a rule in his heart.
Thinking about his concerns, he casually picked at the chicken in his plate with his chopsticks and asked:
"When do you plan to take action and close the net?" As soon as he finished speaking, his grandfather tapped him with his chopsticks, frowning and scolding, "Eat properly, what kind of manners have I taught you?"
Zhang Yuanqing silently put down his chopsticks, looked at Chen Yuanjun, and waited for his answer.
"We might close the net soon," Chen Yuanjun replied vaguely. "This is classified as an operational secret, don't ask."
Zhang Yuanqing said "Oh" and secretly summoned Little Doubi, manipulating him to climb towards his cousin.
Little Doubi nimbly grabbed onto his cousin's pants leg, climbing all the way up, until he reached the top of his head, wrapping his short, chubby legs around Chen Yuanjun's neck, and grabbing his hair with his little hands.
The recent fortune, could very well be tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but it wouldn't exceed seven days. His cousin would definitely encounter a bloody disaster within seven days.
Zhang Yuanqing planned to have Little Doubi watch over his cousin, on one hand to act as surveillance and provide feedback at any time, and on the other hand, with Little Doubi's current strength, exchanging the abilities of extraordinary level Wayfarers was still very easy.
That wouldn't work with Saint level ones, but given the rarity and status of Saints, it was unlikely they would target ordinary people like his cousin.
Chen Yuanjun shivered violently, looked at the central air conditioning vent in the restaurant, and frowned, saying:
"Grandma, did you set the air conditioning too low?"
Hearing this, his grandmother turned to look at the air conditioning switch on the wall and said, "Really? Is 20 degrees cold? Yuanzi, Yu'er, are you cold?" "I feel a bit hot," his aunt said, munching on a chicken leg without a care in the world.
"Maybe my cousin has been working too much overtime recently and is a bit weak, Grandma, make him some tonic soup tomorrow," Zhang Yuanqing chimed in.
Upon hearing this, his grandmother said with concern:
"Yuanjun, don't work so hard. You haven't married a wife yet. If you exhaust your body, you won't be able to keep a wife."
Chen Yuanjun looked puzzled, rubbing his arms while wondering if he had really overworked his body.
His grandmother then turned to look at her grandson and said, "Remember, bring your girlfriend home the day after tomorrow..."
At eight o'clock in the evening.
Kou Beiyue, wearing a blue delivery uniform, sat in a food stall, holding a beer in one hand and a kebab in the other, with a pot of stewed beef offal in front of him.
He seemed to be waiting for someone, eating unhurriedly.
Soon, a small electric scooter drove up lightly and parked on the side of the road, also a delivery person wearing a blue helmet and blue uniform.
"Beiyue!"
The person took off the helmet, revealing a baby face, full of smiles, and said excitedly,
"You actually came out, damn, everyone else got stuck in there, you actually came out."
It was Ren Xue Mantou.
The smile on Kou Beiyue's face had just begun to appear, he quickly suppressed it, coughed, and pointed to the seat opposite the table, pretending to be dignified, saying, "Sit!"
"This meal is on me, to celebrate my advancement to Saint." He was now a Saint, and couldn't be as frivolous as before. Ren Xue Mantou quickly sat down, grabbed two beef skewers, and chewed them down in large bites. After swallowing the food, he lowered his voice:
"I heard that in this slaughter dungeon, only you and Liang Chen Ze Zhu Er Shi survived? How did you two do it?"
Kou Beiyue, following the reply given by Xiao Yuan, said in a deep voice:
"Just lucky, let's not talk about the slaughter dungeon for now, I'm looking for you to find out, what's the news outside recently?"
Ren Xue Mantou put down the beef skewers, his face serious:
"The news outside is exploding. A-yi and the others all died in the slaughter dungeon, which has caused a huge blow to our freelance low and mid level The Way of the Extraordinary. My logistics company can't find anyone to gather anymore. In Songhai, it is said that many black markets have temporarily closed, they are all afraid."
"The North still says..."
The expression on Ren Xue Mantou's baby face was extremely complex, with fear, worry, and annoyance, saying:
"Beiyue, Songhai has produced a Yuan Shi Tian Zun, which is really terrible for us."
"Back then, when Fu Qingyang came to Songhai, the Saints of the South Branch were all frightened and uneasy. At that time, I was still extraordinary, so I couldn't feel the fear of the seniors."
"Now I understand. You said, what if Yuan Shi Tian Zun hunts down freelancers near Songhai after becoming a Saint? What do we do? Let's keep a low profile during this time. I still have a few users who gave me bad reviews, let them live a little longer."
How much resentment do you have towards users who give bad reviews? Kou Beiyue almost couldn't maintain his Saintly demeanor, and silently retorted in his mind.
"Those trash, so many experts, and they still got wiped out by Yuan Shi Tian Zun. Our freelancers are much stronger than the Lawful faction..." Ren Xue Mantou cursed hatefully.
Kou Beiyue listened to his complaints silently and asked, "Anything else?" Ren Xue Mantou finished his beer in one gulp and said:
"Yuan Shi Tian Zun has entered the human list, ranking ninth, with a reward of up to one small goal, plus three Saint level quality items."
In the official wanted list, there is only one list for the extraordinary level, and the Saint and Dominator levels each have three lists, namely the "Heaven, Earth, and Human" three lists.
The human list represents level 4, the earth list corresponds to level 5, and the heaven list is level 6. The Dominator is the same.
Evil organizations imitate the official model and have established the exact same reward system, also dividing it into three lists: Heaven, Earth, and Human.
Generally speaking, the level corresponding to each list is extremely strict. Level 4 must be on the human list, and there is very little possibility of entering the earth list.
After all, there is a huge difference between the early stage and the late stage of level 4 The Way of the Extraordinary, let alone level 5.
But the evil organization still placed Yuan Shi Tian Zun on the earth list, on the one hand, to acknowledge that Yuan Shi Tian Zun is not an ordinary level 4 Saint, and on the other hand, to encourage level 5 Saints to hunt him down.
Yuan Shi Tian Zun is worth 100 million? If I kill him, Xiao Yuan's inn can become a five-star hotel, Kou Beiyue fantasized for a moment, then heard Ren Xue Mantou say:
“The First Minister of the Great Ming”
“There is another rumor, but I don't know if it's true. It just so happens that you are looking for me, so I have to verify it with you.”
"What is it?" Kou Beiyue adopted a listening posture.
"Over in Songhai, our branch has someone who found out that Liang Chen Ze Zhu Er Shi betrayed Yuan Shi Tian Zun in the slaughter dungeon, cooperating from the inside out, which is why our free faction was wiped out." Ren Xue Mantou said angrily:
"I'm telling you, this matter is very likely to be true, because as soon as the news came out, the president used his connections to check the wanted list, and guess what? The official has withdrawn the arrest warrant for Little Fatty."
Ah this Kou Beiyue, this true double agent, was greatly shocked, thinking, did the members of your intelligence gathering unit hear the name wrong?.
That, that person who cooperated from the inside out, is it possible that his name is Kou Bei...
Ren Xue Mantou said in a deep voice:
"You were in the slaughter dungeon, tell me, is this true? This..." Kou Beiyue pondered and said:
"I didn't actually participate in their struggle. Although I am strong, I am not brainless. After entering the slaughter dungeon, I accidentally obtained a large number of points, and then I have been lurking in the dungeon."
"You could say that luck allowed me to pick up a life, ah no, you could say that the free factions were unlucky. If I had been at the scene at that time, you know..." Ren Xue Mantou thought to himself, I know, I know, if you were at the scene, I would now be raising a glass to the moonlight, and another to you.
Kou Beiyue changed the subject, "However, everyone else died, and that Little Fatty is still alive, which is indeed unreasonable. He may, um, have really betrayed the freelancers."
Ren Xue Mantou snorted coldly:
"Then he's finished. Such a bad incident, even if he becomes a Saint now, he can forget about having a peaceful life. The free faction has no place for him, even if the Nihility Sect protects him."
Kou Beiyue changed the subject, picked up his wine glass, and clinked it with Ren Xue Mantou.
"Let's not talk about him, let's drink, Mantou, we are now Saints, we should think about future development. I think the time to make a name for ourselves has come."
Immediately, the two looked forward to the future, shared their career ambitions, and wove a splendid and magnificent life with each other's words, finished the food on the table in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and agreed to deliver food together tomorrow. Kou Beiyue agreed happily.
Watching Ren Xue Mantou leave on his electric scooter, Kou Beiyue paid the bill and ran into the first white car outside the food stall.
In the driver's seat sat a bright and sophisticated mature woman.
“He doesn’t seem to know that I am one of Yuan Shi Tian Zun’s people, seamlessness, Big Xiao Yuan,”
“Didn’t the Master say that there are evil faction overlords staring outside the slaughter dungeon?”
Kou Beiyue said in a low voice.
He had made an appointment with Ren Xue Mantou tonight to find out if he had been wanted by the evil organization.
If the fact that he and Yuan Shi Tian Zun had conspired had been exposed, then he would definitely be on the list, and Ren Xue Mantou would not have met him without any precautions.
Xiao Yuan thought for a few seconds and said, "This shows that the high-level members of the evil profession don't have you in their eyes, which is a good thing. Or, they are still in the slaughter dungeon and have not come out. The slaughter dungeon for the Saint realm will not end until next year."
"Of course, based on my understanding of the evil organization, those Dominators have probably forgotten you. Unless it's someone like Yuan Shi Tian Zun or Zhao Chenghuang, ordinary people are hard for them to remember."
Kou Beiyue didn't know whether to be angry or happy for a moment. "Oh yeah, I found out a piece of information..."
Then he told Xiao Yuan about Liang Chen Ze Zhu Er Shi.
"It's really strange, why did they suddenly say he was a traitor, and I'm fine," he said.
Xiao Yuan frowned. After a few seconds, she seemed to have thought of something. Her delicate eyebrows stretched out, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"I understand, it should be Yuan Shi Tian Zun who did it. Besides him, no one would do such a thing, and no one has the authority to withdraw the arrest warrant."
"In the slaughter dungeon, didn't you plead for mercy for that illusionist?" Seeing Kou Beiyue frowning and not understanding immediately, Xiao Yuan sighed in her heart and prompted:
"He promised Master Wuhen to help gather our kind." Kou Beiyue suddenly understood, both surprised and delighted. If he could win over Little Fatty, he would no longer be at the "bottom" of the team. He would be a boss with a little brother.
"Master Wuhen seems to have this idea too, let's go and tell him now."
Xiao Yuan shook her head slightly: "It's not certain yet, let's wait and see. You are now a Saint, so try to be stable in everything you do and don't be rash."
Kou Beiyue said impatiently: "Here you go again, my mom isn't even this long-winded."
His face was full of disgust, but he relied on this kind of discipline immensely. In the two years after his sister's death, Xiao Yuan had, to some extent, played the role of a mother and an older sister. It was because of her that Kou Beiyue had not sunk into the abyss of killing and fighting, and had always maintained his original heart.
The next day.
Zhang Yuanqing, carrying his backpack, had breakfast and took a taxi to the Kangyang District Security Department.
Last night, Li Dongze had notified him that the second team would hold a grand celebration for him, Guan Ya, and Jiang Jingwei today, and he must attend.
Zhang Yuanqing had to monitor his cousin's situation in real time anyway, and plus his grandmother had repeatedly ordered him to bring his girlfriend home, so he had to see Guan Ya, and he agreed without hesitation.
It's worth mentioning that Old Ladder and the Ghost Bride hadn't returned all night, and he didn't know where they had gone to mess around. Zhang Yuanqing was very worried that they would get lost.
However, considering the introduction of the Golden Water Amusement Park in the spirit world, he felt that the two ghosts' overnight absence was purely for fun.
Old Liu Zi happily experienced many amusement park projects. This Mountain God was a fun-loving one.
Before long, he arrived at the Security Department in a taxi and came to the two-story glass building behind the Security Department building.
In front of the gate of the glass building, gold foil fragments were scattered all over the ground, as if they had just had a grand celebration.
Zhang Yuanqing, wearing a name tag waist bag around his waist, containing a cat king speaker, put on his hood and mask, and walked into the glass building.
He had originally planned to bring the cat king speaker, but as soon as he went out, the cat king speaker screamed in the room: Unfilial descendants, unfilial descendants...
Zhang Yuanqing knew that it was scared and afraid that Old Ladder would return, not wanting to be alone at home.
Pushing open the soundproof glass door, the noisy laughter instantly rushed into his ears. The living area on the first floor was filled with cakes, fruits, wines, and delicacies. Young ladies, older sisters, and young women were either enjoying the food, or drinking boldly, and talking and laughing wantonly.
Guan Ya was as always in a skirt and white shirt, with a full figure, delicate face, and a smile on her face, talking to her female colleagues.
Suddenly, Guan Ya saw him come in, her smile disappeared, and she turned her gaze to the side, silently sitting in the corner.
So even old drivers are the same as ordinary women when they are shy? Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.
"Oh, God, the most beautiful girl in our unit is here, but she's not elegant enough!"
Li Dongze, holding a wine glass, his two little mustaches raised vibrantly, strode forward to greet him.
