The Four Continents region has not been peaceful recently.

The temperature in the Northern Continent region rose sharply, the glaciers that had not melted for thousands of years turned into sea water, and half of the land sank below sea level.

An epidemic broke out in the Nanzhou region. Countless spores grew out of the pores of many people, turning them into white and fat spore people.

The Xizhou region is almost unable to control its own S-level pollutant "Infinite Gallery", the latter's strength is rising strangely, and if it is not curbed, it will soon become S+.

In the Dongzhou region, except for a few larger cities that have barely stabilized the situation, the other cities are already in chaos. In Liuyin City, located in the most desolate place, the mayor Shen Rong abandoned the city and left. The entire Liuyin City has become a deserted city.

Qinghe City Investigation Bureau

"I really didn't know that Shen Rong would do such a thing. He is obviously not that kind of person. Grandpa has already gone to Liuyin City..."

Chen An, who came to Qinghe City, sat on a chair in the reception room. His black and white hair hung on the table, hiding the expression he was trying hard to control. He tried to keep his voice normal, but his breath at the end of his words was no longer steady.

Similar to the Chu family's bloodline which often produces bird awakeners, the Shen family's bloodline inherits the ability to predict and detect. It was with this ability that Shen An successfully became the executive officer of the Dongzhou region.

But when this ability reached his younger brother Shen Rong, it changed and became so weak that it was almost non-existent, no different from that of an ordinary person, and he was directly labeled as "waste".

...

...

Shen Rong has lived in the shadow of Shen An since he was a child, and his personality has gradually become silent. Mr. Shen noticed this problem and sent him to the world of ordinary people.

A person with little awakening ability is no longer suitable to stay in the dark world, nor is he suitable to associate with awakened people.

After that, Chen Rong embarked on the path of politics in the world of ordinary people. Except for getting together at home during holidays, the two brothers had no more interactions.

"Chu Zehuai, tell me, is he taking revenge on me and the Shen family? I have made so many predictions, but I have never predicted that my brother would do such a thing. That's an entire city with a population of hundreds of thousands!"

Chen An raised his eyes, and there was a rare hint of helplessness in his usually calm and self-possessed eyes.

"Since it has already happened, it is a fact that no one can change, not to mention that Mr. Shen said he would handle it."

Chu Zehuai, who was sitting opposite him, pushed a cup of tea over to him.

"You didn't come here just to tell me this, did you? Is there anything else you need me for?"

All in all, it has been a few days since his values ​​returned to the green level. Now that the pollution situation outside is so serious, it is normal for Chen An to be unable to wait and come to him to deal with the pollutants.

"It's about the work of the East Continent Regional Executive Officer, but it's different from what you imagined."

Talking about the task, Shen An took a deep breath, and his professional ethics forced him to focus on the current work and handed a sealed document to the other party.

Even if it collapses, the work still needs to be done.

"Exchange and learning program for outstanding investigators from the four continents?"

"Yes. Previously, investigators from each continent were responsible for the pollutants in that continent, and only executive officers would carry out missions across continents. However, recently, pollutants from various continents have begun to flow everywhere. Investigators from various continents will always be at a disadvantage when information is blocked."

Just like the pollutants that appeared in Qinghe City some time ago, they had actually been discovered in the Xizhou area long ago and countermeasures had been developed, but because the investigators in the Dongzhou area had never come into contact with such things, they suffered a great loss.

"The Four Continents Alliance held a meeting to discuss and decided to strengthen the exchange and learning between the investigators of the four continents. You returned directly to Qinghe City after completing the mission in South Continent, and your condition was not stable, so I didn't have time to notify you."

At the end, Shen An also made a special explanation.

"I see."

Chu Zehuai opened the sealed bag, took a quick look at it, and put it back.

"The time is next weekend. Is it so urgent?"

"The pollution is traveling much faster than we are."

"Okay, I understand."

While Chu Zehuai was talking about work with Shen An, Bai Yu was at Zhou Yi's house, attending a family gathering of the Zhou family.

After get off work, he was pulled by Zhou Yi to transform another friend of his into his own shape.

Of course, the process was kept secret and no one was aware of the so-called truth.

The person who gave Zhou Yi the red carp also gave this friend a guppy. The three of them were good friends before, and it was the person who gave the fish who took the two to Chunfeng Teahouse.

"I can't contact him now."

"Me too."

"So he gave this to us on purpose."

"I don't know, but it's very likely."

“Damn it.”

Bai Yu was not interested in the conversation between the two, which was nothing more than friendship and betrayal among humans.

However, this friend gave Bai Yu some other clues.

"Are these all things from the Chunfeng Teahouse?"

Bai Yu looked at the box in his hand and opened it out of curiosity to take a look.

A handkerchief with a four-pointed star pattern printed on it, a box containing an unknown powder, five pink candles, and some miscellaneous small clips.

"I thought it was a souvenir, so I took it out. I hope it can help you. As for the money, my family will give you some. I heard from Xiao Zhou that we won't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Okay, I'll contact you directly by phone then."

When Bai Yu packed up his things and prepared to return to the rental house, Zhou Yi dragged him to Zhou's house for dinner, and gave the reason that Zhou's father and mother also missed him.

Bai Yu flipped through the memory fragments left by the original owner.

After the original owner's parents divorced, remarried and had children, the original owner was abandoned at his grandfather's house. His grandfather was old and unable to move around, so his neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, helped take care of the young original owner and even raised him as their second son.

In the memory fragments, the young original owner regarded Zhou's father and mother as his own biological parents and developed a psychological dependence on them. However, the grown-up original owner was sensitive and inferior in his heart. He always felt that he was an outsider who destroyed other people's families. He gradually distanced himself from the Zhou family and only maintained the most basic friendship with Zhou Yi.

However, Zhou's careless father and mother did not notice this.

"Xiao Yu, it's been a long time since you came. I remember that when you were a child, you especially liked to be hugged by your aunt."

The enthusiastic Zhou mother prepared a table of dishes and forced Bai Yu to sit on the dining chair.

"Auntie still remembers that you like braised prawns the most. I bought all the freshest prawns from the supermarket today."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Bai Yu obediently picked up the chopsticks and remembered the reason the original owner had used before.

"I was too busy at school, and I wanted to get some scholarships. After all, my parents stopped giving me child support after I became an adult, and the pressure of life was a bit high, so I never had time to visit my uncle and aunt."

"Humph, those two shameless guys."

Father Zhou snorted harshly on the sofa.

"Why are you saying that? Just eat your meal."

Zhou's mother glared at her husband and took out a red envelope from somewhere.

"Hurry up and take it, Xiaoyu. You are in the growth stage now, so don't let yourself be wronged."

“I already have a job…”

"If you've just started working, your salary is definitely not enough. Take it, you can't refuse it..."

Bai Yu and Zhou's mother were struggling with the red envelope, and when Bai Yu's clothes were about to be torn, the red envelope was finally stuffed into his pocket.

"Hey, just obey my mother. No one in my family dares to disobey her."

Zhou Yi chuckled and looked towards the living room.

"Would you like some water? I'm a little thirsty."

After getting negative answers from three people, Zhou Yifei rushed to the water dispenser, pulled up the 13-liter bucket with a "clang", and started drinking it mouth to mouth.

Under the shocked gazes of the three, Zhou Yi carried the bucket and drank half of it mouth to mouth. With a clang, he put the bucket back in place and wiped his mouth: "It feels so good."

Mother Zhou poked Father Zhou: "Is it true that our son will not be poisoned by water?"

Father Zhou shook his head in shock: "I don't know, I just know that our water bill this month may exceed the limit."

Under the gaze of the three people, Zhou Yi ran back to the dining table, picked up his food, and ran directly to the balcony, eating while basking in the sunset:

"I won't disturb you three from bonding. Just eat here."

Looking at his friend's motionless back sitting on the balcony, Bai Yu pursed his lips.

Drink a lot of water at once, like to bask in the warm sunshine, and don't move around much...

[Hiss, Bai Yu, your polluter is becoming more and more like you.]
