The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 268 Everyday and Extraordinary

Yang Qinglan gently touched his arm again, and Li Changzhou quickly put aside his declining thoughts and suppressed the smile on his face.

"What happened? Do you need help?" he asked Zheng Qing, glancing at the car accident in the middle of the road.

Zheng Qing possesses an S-level Animal Path, so the matters she handles will not be simple.

“A player from the Corpse-Driving Faction stole a player's corpse and has been caught,” Zheng Qing explained.

"The Corpse-Driving Faction?" Li Qianxia's eyes revealed curiosity.

"Come and take a look." Zheng Qing tapped her chest again and opened the communication with the logistics team.

This time, instead of climbing over the fence, the four of them took a detour. The scene was completely surrounded by police cars and cordoned off.

One player was being held captive by two members of the stability maintenance team. Upon seeing Zheng Qing, he immediately shouted, "Captain Zheng, I really didn't break the law. The corpse is useless just sitting there. Give it to me, and it can still be of some use!"

"To be honest, I've wanted to report this for a long time! Why are ceramics, lacquerware, wood carving, and embroidery recognized as traditional culture, protected, and even funded, while my corpse-driving sect is considered a heretical sect that's being cracked down on?"

"Please, I beg you, let me go. I have no debts to repay, I am not a heartless rich person, and I have not committed any crimes. Is it illegal to take a corpse?"

"I just want to live, but how can my corpse-driving sect survive without corpses!"

He was sobbing uncontrollably, his tears flowing like a spring, his heart breaking... Just listening to his voice, one couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

According to Article 302 of the Criminal Law, anyone who steals, insults, or intentionally destroys a corpse, remains, or ashes shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance.

The player from the Corpse-Transporting Faction stopped talking as if calling "Cut," and stared at Li Changzhou: "Who are you?"

You don't know him? Haven't you watched Value Games' live stream?

"A student from the Law Department of the University of Ming Dynasty." Li Changzhou answered.

"Captain Zheng, don't listen to his nonsense! What does an ordinary student know?"

"Take them away," Zheng Qing said to the players in the stability maintenance group.

Two players, supporting the corpse-driving party, headed towards the specially made police car.

The corpse-driving man struggled so much that his legs almost left the ground. He turned his head and shouted wildly, "I protest! I refuse to accept this! I want to hire a lawyer! I want to appeal to the state! Corpse-driving is a traditional craft! It's part of the culture of the Xia Kingdom since ancient times!"

"Don't think I don't know! Those tomb raiders, under the protection of the Special Operations Bureau, disguise themselves as archaeologists! They dig up people's graves, search for the past of cultivators, and obtain many treasures!"

"You're the ones who are despicable! You're the ones who should be on trial! I'm innocent!"

Li Qianxia watched with admiration as this man was stuffed into a police car and disappeared without a trace.

Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou were somewhat interested in excavating ancient tombs.

“The matter is resolved,” Zheng Qing said without elaborating, “but this road will probably be open for a few more days.”

Two vehicles were overturned at the scene, and the ground was full of potholes. Several workers in protective suits were putting the stolen corpses into body bags.

Yang Qinglan gently raised her hand, and the broken stones and asphalt turned into needles and thread, automatically repairing the damaged ground.

Zheng Qing was somewhat surprised. From what she knew, Yang Qinglan was not the kind of person who was willing to help others, even with the smallest favor. In her impression, Yang Qinglan was a fairy who was completely detached from worldly affairs and did not interact with people.

Is it because it's not far from the school gate, and the repairs are to avoid delaying your commute?

The reason is actually quite simple: Yang Qinglan is in a good mood today because she has a boyfriend.

“There’s one more thing,” she repeated the logistics team’s instructions, “The Special Operations Bureau would like to discuss the development of Four Seasons Star with you.”

This is something we have to talk about.

The divine crown that controls Four Seasons Star is in Li Changzhou's hands. Without permission and some concrete promises, the Special Operations Bureau will not invest resources and energy in Four Seasons Star.

Li Changzhou hadn't thought about this; his mind was completely occupied by Yang Qinglan.

He considered it briefly and said, "How about this time tomorrow night? Come to Qinglan Bookstore."

"good."

Tomorrow during the day, Li Changzhou plans to use all his savings and income from live streaming to upgrade his skills.

The Special Operations Bureau received the news almost immediately. Zhang Ligong, who was known for his sycophancy, was the first person selected for the negotiators—even if the past was wiped clean, they still had to plan for the future.
