"Deyang." The old man looked Li Deyang up and down carefully, "Are you okay?"

"Nothing, what could possibly happen to me?" Li Deyang grinned, "Oh, to be honest, there is a good thing."

"What's up?"

"I got a promotion." Li Deyang said cheerfully, "I got a transfer order from above. I will no longer be a forest ranger here. I will be a squad leader in the military camp."

"Becoming a squad leader? That would be great! This place is cold and shabby, it would be nice to change to another place." The old man clapped his hands, "By the way, where are you going?"

"Urumaki."

"…"

The old man's eyes widened. "Urumuchi? Isn't that to the west?"

"Yes." Li Deyang nodded. "Although it's a little far from here, the environment is not bad, and the life in the barracks is guaranteed. I'm still a small official, which is better than suffering here."

"This, this is too far..." The old man frowned, and then seemed to have thought of something, "No, you are just a forest ranger, aren't you? Strictly speaking, you are not a military personnel, why are you suddenly transferred to Urumuchi to be a squad leader?"

"I used some connections, so don't ask me anymore, dad." Li Deyang was vague.

"So, when are you leaving?"

"Pack up this place and leave in two days."

"So urgent?" the old man said quickly, "Then Tingting and I will stay for two more days and I will take you there when the time comes."

"We are a confidential unit and are not allowed to send it." Li Deyang said seriously.

The old man was stunned and said suspiciously, "Deyang, your father is not well educated, please don't lie to me... How can we not allow children to go to the army?"

"You see, it's because you haven't received enough education that you don't know, right? This is indeed the case in some units now." Li Deyang tried his best to persuade the grandfather and daughter into believing him.

"Dad, are you going to a far place?" Tingting tilted her head and asked reluctantly, "Can I go see you?"

"Tingting, be good. Daddy is going to be a soldier guarding the border." Li Deyang touched her head. "That place is far away. Tingting may not be able to go... But don't worry, when Tingting grows up, Daddy will come back."

The little girl thought for a moment, "When will I grow up?"

Li Deyang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "One day, when it's your turn to take care of grandpa, you will have grown up."

The little girl nodded, not quite understanding.

Li Deyang checked the time, put Tingting down, and stood up. "Dad, it's almost time. Should I ask them to take you to the station? What happened in the mountains recently, and I have to hurry up to work and report to my superiors."

The old man was reluctant to leave at first, but when he heard Li Deyang say that he had to work, he hesitated for a long time and nodded, "Well, then you go ahead and do your work. When you get to Wulumuqi, call home as soon as you have time, okay?"

"I know, Dad. Don't worry."

Li Deyang waved to them and gave a look to the four people outside the door. Baili Pangpang immediately walked forward with a smile, holding the little girl and staggeringly walked out.

When the old man and the little girl were taken away by Baili Pangpang and others, the whole house suddenly became quiet.

Li Deyang turned around and saw that Chen Han had a straight knife in his hand. The blade was pointed straight at the tip of Li Deyang's nose, emitting a cold light.

"You are not Li Deyang." Chen Han said firmly, "Who are you?"

Li Deyang looked into his eyes calmly, and the next moment a magical light burst out, and the whole person turned back into Lin Qiye's appearance.

Chen Han witnessed this scene with his own eyes, his face darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "There is indeed something wrong with you. Did you kill Uncle Li?!"

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and the straight knife in Chen Han's hand was suddenly stained by a touch of darkness. It trembled violently, suddenly broke free from his palm, and pierced into the ceiling above his head!

"Chen Han from the 332nd Squad of the Night Watch in Anta County..." Lin Qiye took out a badge from his arms and spoke slowly, "I am Lin Qiye, the captain of the reserve team of the Night Watch's fifth special team. Now, I regret to announce to you...

Li Deyang, the captain of Team 332, died heroically in a battle with the Red-armored Queen Ant!

When Chen Han heard this, he froze in place. He stared at the emblem in Lin Qiye's hand for a long time, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Impossible, I don't believe it!" Chen Han stared at Lin Qiye and roared, "I have never heard of the fifth special team, let alone the inexplicable reserve team... Your emblem is fake, you killed Uncle Li!"

"If I killed him, why would I bother to do all that for him?" Lin Qiye said calmly.

Chen Han was stunned.

Lin Qiye shook his head, turned and walked outside, opened the door, and strong wind rushed in from outside.

"Before Li Deyang died, he asked me to tell him something." Lin Qiye walked to the door and said calmly, "From now on, Team 332 will be handed over to you... You can use the collection in his cabinet for him."

After saying this, his figure flashed and disappeared into the deepening night.

The cold wind blew into the house, making a whimpering sound. Chen Han stood there blankly, his fingers loosened slightly, and the scabbard of the straight knife in his palm fell to the ground.

"Uncle Li..."

Chen Han turned around stiffly, walked to the desk in the room, and opened the office cabinet.

There was a drawer of cigarettes neatly arranged inside.

He looked at the cigarettes in the drawer with a dazed look in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he bent down and took out a cigarette, put it in his lips, and walked mechanically step by step outside the house against the cold wind.

He sat down on the old steps in front of the door, looking at the sky gradually falling into darkness in the distance, took out a neatly folded paper from his pocket, and slowly opened it...

It was a transfer application.

A transfer application to leave Team 332 and move to another city, and the applicant's name is... Chen Han.

He lowered his head and read the letter word by word. A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took out a lighter from his pocket and placed it on the corner of the paper.

Time, time, time again——!

In the cold wind, he pressed the button several times before a tiny flame was ignited.

The flame ignited the paper, and the fire burned brighter and brighter, while the black embers were swept into the air by the wind and disappeared without a trace.

He watched this scene calmly, lowered his head and put the cigarette in his mouth over the flame of the paper, lit it, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the top of the cigarette...

He took a deep breath and started coughing violently.

"Cough, cough, cough..." He held the cigarette in his mouth, sighed, looked up at the sky, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

"Uncle Li, your taste is a bit too bad..."

…

At the same time, above the dark sky.

The Emperor of Fengdu stood in the air in a daze, staring at the small house below his feet. His eyes seemed to penetrate the endless space, watching everything that had just happened.

He was like a sculpture.

Beside him, the Taoist smiled gently.

"How is it? The person we chose is pretty good, right?"

The Emperor of Fengdu watched the grandfather and daughter leave, remained silent for a long time, turned around, and walked slowly towards the darkness in the distance.

A rare hint of tenderness appeared on that stern face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"I... owe this guy a favor."
