There was only a simple long table in the white conference room with simple decorations.
A square-faced white-haired old man in military uniform sat on the main seat. There was a ferocious scar on his face, and he looked dignified without being angry.
He was the head captain of Hang City's Department of Mysteries, and also a major general of the human Federation's army, Xu Wei. He was an expert who was half a step away from becoming a Radiant Moon overlord!
Li Sheng and Chai Jing sat on both sides of him with serious expressions. However, it didn't last long before Chai Jing frowned and said angrily,
"Zhou Fan, can you put out your cigarette?”
"What? Sorry, sorry!"
The person who spoke was sitting at the end of the table. It was a middle-aged man in a brown windbreaker. His face was full of stubble, and he yawned sleepily, looking as if he had not woken up.
Zhou Fan twirled the cigarette in his hand. Although he apologized, he did not have any intention of self-destruction. He raised his hand and took a puff.
" After all, I was woken up to work in the middle of my sleep and didn't get paid for overtime. I could only smoke and relax…"
Looking at Chai Jing's murderous gaze, Zhou Fan blew out smoke rings unhurriedly and continued,
" I don't want to say this, but as a girl, don't be so hot-tempered. Be careful not to have a period disorder in the future and enter menopause early. It won't be easy to find a boyfriend then…"
"You…"
Chai Jing slammed the table and stood up. Her ponytail danced as she glared at Zhou Fan. The spiritual energy on her body surged and condensed into a blood-red long blade behind her, and boiling killing intent surged out.
However, Zhou Fan did not seem to feel any killing intent. He continued to smoke as he pleased, causing Chai Jing to almost explode from anger.
She had always disliked Zhou Fan, who had been fishing in troubled waters and asking for reimbursement from the Department of Mysteries for drinking. She thought that such a guy did not deserve to stay in the righteous Department of Mysteries. She did not expect him to provoke her!
She even said that she wouldn't be able to get married!
This made Chai Jing extremely angry. Her 36 was enough to make countless men kneel and lick her. This was not the size of her feet, but dddd. What right did this decadent middle-aged man have to say that?
In the face of such a tense situation, Li Sheng picked up the thermos cup soaked in goji berries and took a sip. He was glad that he could finally rest for a day after working overtime tonight.
The pain of getting married as an adult…
"Alright, stop fooling around!"
In the end, it was Xu Wei who spoke from the main seat that made Chai Jing suppress her anger and sit down indignantly. Zhou Fan smiled and said,
"The old man is still calm. Speaking of which, why don't you give me some overtime pay? I owe a lot of money for drinks. That boss almost threw me out…"
At this point, Chai Jing's eyes were almost overflowing with anger, causing the entire conference table to tremble. She shouldn't have to bear the power of her age.
Xu Wei could not help but sigh at this scene. Other departments were either strong in action or united in unity, but he was the only one.
Out of the three captains, one was slacking off while the other was watching the show. Chai Jing, the only one who worked hard, was also short-tempered. Every time she attacked, she did not take it lightly or heavily!
If he didn't know their personalities, he would have suspected that these guys were acting.
Especially Zhou Fan. Xu Wei also sighed. One had to know that he was not like this in the past. He was even more hardworking than Chai Jing now. Unfortunately, after that incident...
"In the end, the Department of Mysteries let him down. There are some things that can't be touched…"
Xu Wei sighed in his heart. From then on, Zhou Fan had fallen and drank alcohol all day long. However, because of the guilt in his heart, he had always indulged him.
Although he was thinking about it in his heart, Xu Wei's face was still extremely dignified. He said in a deep voice,
"What do you think of the Calamity Snake Gang?”
Upon hearing the words " Calamity Snake Society," the few of them quieted down, especially Li Sheng. He recalled the Hundred-Eyed Pagoda that was like a mental pollution and subconsciously clenched the thermos in his hand.
"Terrifying!"
Chai Jing also said with a solemn expression,"The Blood Pagoda led by Han Jiang is terrifyingly powerful. That method of increasing one's strength doesn't turn one crazy like the evil god ritual. This…is almost unheard of!”
"Boss, can you confirm the identity of the Mystic Lord?" Li Sheng chimed in.”
" Not for the time being.'He' is too mysterious. I can't find any information about him at all. The same goes for the other Furnace Lord. I can't even record his image. It's as if everything has been erased.
Meanwhile, the headquarters seemed to be focusing on the Dark Abyss. They could not find any suitable people to investigate!”
Xu Wei shook his head and felt quite helpless in his heart. He couldn't even find out the origin of the other party. Wasn't this a disguised indication of their incompetence?
Moreover, the other party seemed to have predicted that the headquarters of the Department of Mysteries would not be able to spare any time to set up a trap in the Calamity Snake Gang. This kind of intelligence and ability to set up a trap was despairing.
Moreover, because the Calamity Snake Society had never involved ordinary humans in the past few wars, it was not appropriate for the Department of Mysteries to interfere.
The disputes in the Transcendent World were ultimately resolved in the Transcendent World. If he rashly interfered, it would only cause a backlash.
However, just as everyone was troubled, Zhou Fan, who had been sleepy all this time, suddenly spoke,
" If the investigation is clear, if 'They' are some ancient existence or even one of those ancient taboos, don't forget that the Lord of the Furnace is deterring us through an image. Perhaps it's a warning that transcends time. What should we do then?”
"Taboo…"
Xu Wei was a little silent, and Li Sheng seemed to have thought of something and did not speak. Only Chai Jing frowned and said,
" So what if it is? Didn't the Department of Mysteries say it on the first day we took the oath? We will use our beliefs as swords to cut through the thorns for the human race. May the human race prosper. Even if we face taboos, what's there to be afraid of dying in battle!”
"Hehe…he's still a child!"
Zhou Fan raised his eyelids and looked at Chai Jing, who was about to explode, and said indifferently,
"Taboo existences are not as simple as you think. I don't have your passion. I just want my subordinates to live. They are still children and have their own families!”
After saying that, Zhou Fan stood up and slammed the door, leaving Chai Jing alone to sulk. She did not expect to be reprimanded by a lazy guy.
However, Xu Wei's mood was heavy as he thought to himself,
"Could it be that Zhou Fan discovered something?”
After all, he had been to that place before!
Doesn't that mean that one of the Mystic Lord and the Furnace Master might be…
Taboo!
Although the meeting ended on bad terms, the Department of Mysteries remained on the sidelines because the Calamity Snake Society had not done anything to threaten humanity.
Once the other party showed any abnormalities, he would strike them with lightning. Even if there was a Mystic Lord behind them, he would not retreat!
The emergency meeting of the Department of Mysteries was just a small part of it. Other than Shadow Cutting, who was only focused on the assassin business, the other top forces had different attitudes towards the newcomer.
The leader of the Red Dragon Gang sat on the red copper throne. His body was covered in shadows, and his breathing emitted a terrifying aura.
His golden vertical pupils looked at the information and sneered. He whispered to himself,
" I hope it doesn't affect my plan. Otherwise…"
In the Astrologer Association, the president, who was covered in a black hood, looked up at the stars that were about to be covered by the sun and said in shock,
" The trajectory of fate has changed…"
The Bird of Death Sect was silent. A mysterious figure with a crow on his shoulder looked at Hang City and said thoughtfully,"
" The master of the furnace, Lord Xuan…"
While everyone was looking forward to the change in the situation in Hang City, the Calamity Snake Society suddenly became low-key after swallowing the territories of the two supernatural organizations.
There was nothing unusual for more than ten days. As the leader of the Bloody Pagoda, Han Jiang explained the intricacies in simple terms. He even gave the order to start collecting a large number of medicinal herbs.
Such a calm performance stunned the outside world!
As for Fang Yu, the person who caused the chaos and was a dark figure in everyone's eyes, he left the base of the Calamity Snake Society and headed to a place…
