Somewhere in Daxia.

"A new Special Operations Director?!"

Hearing this name, Xia Simeng couldn't help but open her mouth wide, "Doesn't that mean we have a new boss?!"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Tong Sheng nodded helplessly.

Xia Simeng's face suddenly fell.

She was wearing a golden cape, and like an ant on a hot pot, she was walking back and forth in the open space of an old village.

"No, no... Zuo Qing has become the commander-in-chief, and the position of director of the Special Operations Department has been vacant. We have finally spent a few days without a boss, lawless... ahem, self-managed life, and now a boss has appeared...

Then, won’t we be able to approve leave for ourselves? "

"..." Tong Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, "Captain, strictly speaking, it wasn't possible before..."

"Yes, Captain. In the past, you always sneaked into the office to stamp documents when Zuo Qing was not around. Last time you were caught, he deducted half a year's salary from you..." A member of the Phoenix team spoke cautiously, "From now on, let's write reports honestly, right?"

Xia Simeng patted her cheek in distress, "By the way, who is the new director?"

"The former captain of the Nightfall team, the new human ceiling, Lin Qiye."

Xia Simeng stood there in a daze.

"Lin Qiye?"

She seemed to have thought of something and nodded slightly, "Yes, he is the only one who can take on this position now..."

"Captain, what's the personality of this new Director Lin like?" asked a new member who had just joined Phoenix not long ago.

"I've only met him a few times, so I don't know him very well... But he's definitely not the kind of person who's easy to talk to." Xia Simeng sighed, and after being depressed for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and spoke angrily,

"Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Instead of being controlled by others, why don't you all join me in starting a rebellion! I, Xia Simeng, can also take your place!"

The faces of the Phoenix team showed fear.

"Captain, this is inappropriate!"

"Yes, Captain. He is our superior. If he hears us, our lives will be miserable!"

"Besides, he is the ceiling of humanity. You, Captain, can't beat him..."

"Captain, how about you try the honey trap?"

“…”

Under the persuasion of the "group of wise men", Xia Simeng said with a bitter face, "Oh, I was just joking... At worst, we can just report it honestly in the future."

After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, as per convention, the new director of the Special Operations Department has taken office, and we will return to Beijing for a meeting tomorrow... Captain, it's time for us to leave." Tong Sheng reminded as if he had thought of something.

"Okay, then quickly get someone to prepare the plane! We'll rush over overnight! Let Director Lin see the sincerity of our Phoenix team!"

Xia Simeng waved his hand and spoke with great ambition.

A member of the Phoenix team responded, turned around and ran away quickly. When everyone was far away, Xia Simeng sneaked up to Tong Sheng's ear, thought seriously for a moment, and asked in a low voice:

"Tong Sheng, tell me...does Director Lin like Soft Zhonghua or Yellow Crane Tower?"

Tong Sheng: ...

…

"Instructor Lin is going to be in charge of the Special Operations Division?!"

On the crowded green train, Fang Mo and six other people were squeezed on both sides of a small square table. When they heard the news, their eyes lit up.

"Doesn't that mean that Instructor Lin has become our boss again?" Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "As expected, we feel more at ease with Instructor Lin protecting us..."

"From the training camp to the special squad, Instructor Lin has been leading us forward. This is good news."

"And he has also broken through the 'heart barrier' and become the ceiling of humanity... Hehe, from now on we will also be people with a ceiling covering us!"

“…”

Everyone was very excited. It felt like their favorite teacher in elementary school suddenly announced that he would go to college with them and even guarantee a job assignment after graduation... It gave people an unprecedented sense of security.

But while everyone was happily chatting, Fang Mo sat by the window, staring outside in a daze, as if something was on his mind.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Zhenzhen sat opposite him and asked puzzledly.

"...Nothing." Fang Mo shook his head. "I was just wondering, did Lord Qiye become the director of the Special Operations Department because [Nightfall] has been disbanded? If so... does that mean we have taken away the number that originally belonged to them?"

After hearing these words, everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at each other.

"The serial number issue may be brought up at tomorrow's meeting. There's no point in dwelling on it now." Liu Jun reminded him, "We should leave for the capital."

"Yes, yes, yes... We are still a reserve team and don't have a dedicated plane. From here to Beijing, we can only take the green train..."

"But we've only just started, and there's still more than an hour until the next stop!"

"Whatever, let's find a deserted place to jump out of the car! Tomorrow is the first time that Master Qiye will give us a meeting as a boss, so we must not be late!"

"good!"

…

Daxia border.

"Lin Qiye..."

In the howling cold wind, eight figures stood at the edge of the steel outer wall, their black cloaks fluttering in the wind.

Wu Laogou put the phone back into his pocket, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth under his hood.

"It's time to go to Beijing."

He raised his fingertips lightly, and eight giant steel pillars fell from the sky, smashing heavily on the ground. Thick thunder moved between the pillars, emitting a terrifying sense of destruction.

Eight figures leaped up, rode on giant pillars, flew across the sky, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

…

Shangjing City, suburbs.

Between the deserted mountains, two figures stood facing each other in front of an open space. Wuquan climbed to the nearest peak and quietly looked down at the two figures.

"Qi Ye, are you sure?" Shen Qingzhu put out the cigarette in his hand and spoke solemnly.

"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded calmly, "Come over here, I need to test the strength of this body."

Shen Qingzhu hummed and stepped on the cigarette butt. As his eyes narrowed slightly, six huge gray wings spread out, and the terrifying aura of the main god suddenly descended!

"So strong..." At the top of the mountain, Wu Quan sensed the aura emanating from Shen Qingzhu and his eyes narrowed.

Song——!!

A gray afterimage instantly passed across the earth, and the next moment, an earth-shaking roar came from the valley, and smoke and dust flew everywhere!

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, two figures emerged from the haze.

Lin Qiye stepped forward, and firmly grasped Shen Qingzhu's fist with one hand, with a strange light flowing in his eyes...
