The Bureau of Mysteries has a history spanning thousands of years and possesses profound resources. If faced with a direct confrontation, Xia Tianqiong would be no match for them.
The atmosphere was tense; if he dared to refuse, the four men might just take action.
They knew what Xia Tianqiong had done on the first floor of the Wujian Restaurant, yet they still dared to forcefully invite him, which meant they were prepared.
But I still have to subdue the evil spirits tonight, so I absolutely cannot go with them.
Xia Tianqiong hesitated, wondering whether she should take the initiative and catch them off guard, then take the opportunity to escape.
Suddenly, something occurred to her, "Which city are you taking me to?"
The Bureau of Strange Affairs has branches in major cities. The nearest second-tier city to this location is Jiuhua City, and these four people are very likely from there.
The young man's answer confirmed his suspicions: "Please ask Mr. Xia to go to Jiuhua City. It's not far, only a two or three-hour drive away."
"What a coincidence! I was just on my way to Jiuhua City. Let's go."
Xia Tianqiong chuckled, "You guys drove here, right?"
The young man in the lead pointed to the service area not far away, "The car is parked over there, please come with us!"
Four young men in black, two in front and two behind, escorted Xia Tianqiong, flanking her as they walked towards the service area.
And so, Xia Tianqiong got into the car of the Bureau of Strange Affairs and headed to Jiuhua City.
After about two hours, the vehicle entered the city.
As they passed through a bustling street, Xia Tianqiong suddenly said, "Thank you for bringing me to Jiuhua City. I'll visit the Management Bureau again when I have the chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished instantly.
The people in the car were startled and immediately stopped the car, searching around.
Unfortunately, it was destined never to be found.
There are buildings everywhere, and shadows everywhere. Xia Tianqiong continuously uses Shadow Teleportation, sometimes appearing in empty rooms, sometimes in subway tunnels, and sometimes emerging from the shadows of crowds.
After teleporting continuously for several minutes, they arrived at Xingye Square in the Dongcheng District of Jiuhua City.
According to my memories from my previous life, that evil spirit would descend upon this area around dusk.
He wanted to stay here in advance so as not to miss it.
It was still early morning, and there were a few elderly people doing their morning exercises in the square, but not many people.
Xia Tianqiong first called Jiang Yu to inquire about the progress of the supplies purchase.
He then found a secluded corner and slipped into the mirror space.
I didn't sleep a wink last night and I'm a bit tired, so I can get some rest and recharge before going out to subdue that evil creature tonight.
Staying in the mirror space has another advantage: it can prevent others from finding you using trickery.
However, there are also drawbacks. The mirror will be left outside, and if it is discovered by someone, it will cause some trouble.
So he sent the delivery guy out to wait outside.
While Xia Tianqiong was sleeping peacefully, many people in the outside world were anxious because of him.
After the four young men in black from the Bureau of Strange Affairs returned, they were reprimanded by their superiors. Subsequently, two ghost hunters skilled in finding people were dispatched to search the entire city for Xia Tianqiong's whereabouts.
The boss gave a firm order: this person must be brought back today.
A folk ghost hunter who can produce a large amount of ghost money and easily kill wild ghosts is both a talent worth recruiting for the Administration Bureau and a potential dangerous element.
We must find out the truth and investigate thoroughly.
In addition, the Bai family is also thinking about how to get closer to Xia Tianqiong.
After Bai Jingjing and Bai Yichen reported the situation from last night to the family, the entire family attached great importance to it and sent another powerful ghost hunter with new recruitment conditions.
The two groups used their unique skills to search Jiuhua City for a whole day, but they couldn't find a single trace.
The person seemed to have vanished into thin air.
At 5:30 p.m., with more than half an hour left before dark, Xia Tianqiong finally emerged from the mirror space.
I slept for almost ten hours and feel refreshed and full of energy.
There were several restaurants near Starry Night Square. I randomly picked one, ordered two side dishes, and waited for the evil spirit to appear while I ate.
The dishes had just been served, and before anyone had even taken a couple of bites, a burly man walked in from outside.
The man spotted Xia Tianqiong at a glance and never looked away.
"Hello, my name is Bai Tianxiong, from the Bai family. I sincerely invite you to visit the Bai family."
Before Xia Tianqiong could answer, a man and a woman walked in, their target also being him.
"finally found you."
The one who spoke was a young woman in her twenties, "Mr. Xia, we've been looking for you for ages!"
The other was a refined-looking man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and about thirty years old.
He first glanced at Bai Tianxiong standing to the side and said indifferently, "The Bai family moves very quickly!"
Then, with a smile, he looked at Xia Tianqiong and said, "Mr. Xia, we are from the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. We don't mean anything by it, we just want to invite you to sit down at the Bureau."
Xia Tianqiong suddenly frowned, her expression becoming serious.
He didn't expect these people to come looking for him again, and so quickly.
A monstrous event is about to occur, and if they are drawn into it, it may affect his plans.
"Everyone, I really have something urgent to attend to today. Could you please go back first and we can talk about it tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, both sides assumed he was making excuses.
Bai Tianxiong had prepared a lot of explanations, but with the people from the Administration Bureau present, it wasn't convenient for him to say much.
"Mr. Xia, this is for you. It's a detailed introduction to my Bai family. Please take a look when you have time. Since you're busy today, I won't bother you any longer. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
After placing down a bound booklet and nodding slightly to the two people from the Administration Bureau, Bai Tianxiong turned and left.
