Daxia.

Shangjing City, Night Watch Headquarters.

A figure in a dark red cloak walked through the corridor and finally stood in front of a closed door.

He reached out and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock——!

"Come in."

He pushed the door open and walked in. Behind the door was a spacious and bright office.

He had been to this office many times, but the person sitting at the desk before was Ye Fan, the previous commander-in-chief of the Night Watch, while the person sitting there now was a young and steady face.

"Wu Xiangnan, former member of the [Blue Rain] special team and former deputy captain of the 136th team stationed in Cangnan City, has been ordered to report here!" He stood there straight and spoke seriously.

Behind the desk, Zuo Qing, who was busy processing documents, looked up and saw Wu Xiangnan standing in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You are finally here, please sit down."

Wu Xiangnan sat on the chair opposite the desk.

"I've read your information. It's been almost three years since you were transferred from Team 136 to the Special Intelligence Department, right?" Zuo Qing stood up and took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Wu Xiangnan and handed it to him. "How have you been these three years?"

Wu Xiangnan was stunned, and said helplessly, "After I was transferred to the 'Japanese Investigation Team' of the Special Intelligence Department, my daily work is to cooperate with other colleagues to investigate, speculate, and analyze the situation of Takamagahara, the divine country of Japan. Through my previous experience in the [Blue Rain] team, combined with the research of the 'Japanese Investigation Team', I can basically infer the location of Takamagahara, but I have no idea how to enter it specifically."

"I'm not talking about work." Zuo Qing shook his head. "I'm talking about... Have you let go of what happened to the Blue Rain team back then?"

Wu Xiangnan's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "This kind of thing... is not so easy to let go. It's better to say that the knot in my heart is even deeper.

In the past three years, I have recalled the scenes in Takamagahara every day. Every time I recall them, I think of the scene where they died in battle... These scenes are deeply engraved in my mind. I have replayed them non-stop for three years, and every time I question myself...

Why am I the only one who survived?"

Wu Xiangnan clenched his fists unconsciously. Zuo Qing looked at him in silence for a long time and then sat back in his chair.

"If... I let you go to Japan again, would you be willing?"

"Go again?" Wu Xiangnan looked up in surprise. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up slightly. "Are we... going to attack Takama-ga-hara?"

Zuo Qing nodded, "More than two years ago, Egypt's attack on Daxia failed, the Nine Pillars of God were damaged, and the country's fortune was cut by 30%, which can be said to be a great reduction in strength. At the same time, Olympus in Greece was severely damaged by the return of the Goddess of Night, and coupled with the constant harassment of Daxia Sword Immortals in the past two years, the power of these ancient kingdoms of God is gradually weakening.

The rise of Daxia made these ancient divine kingdoms feel an unprecedented threat and also accelerated their alliance.

News came from the Shangxie Society that these major divine kingdoms have reached a preliminary unification and will soon take action against Daxia."

Wu Xiangnan frowned. From Zuo Qing's few words, he could already sense the sense of crisis that was about to come.

"Among these divine kingdoms, Takamagahara is the closest to Daxia. Once a full-scale divine war breaks out, they will inevitably become a thorn in our throat. Although their strength is inferior to that of the other ancient divine kingdoms, at a critical moment, they will still pose a huge threat to Daxia."

Zuo Qing tapped the tabletop with his knuckles, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his deep gaze, "So, we must get rid of this troublesome problem before this all-out war between gods begins."

Wu Xiangnan nodded thoughtfully, "But, Takamagahara is a divine kingdom after all, and many Japanese gods live in it. How can we get rid of it?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Zuo Qing said slowly, "Our top priority now is to find a way to enter Takamagahara and destroy the 'human circle' created by the Japanese gods, fundamentally erasing the source of their faith power."

"I understand." Wu Xiangnan guessed Zuo Qing's intention of asking him to go to Japan. "I was a member of the original [Blue Rain] team. I have been to Japan myself and worked in the 'Japanese Investigation Group' for three years. In the whole of Daxia, I am the only one who is most familiar with the situation there..."

Wu Xiangnan paused and spoke uncertainly, "But, even if I find the entrance to Takamagahara and the location of the 'human circle', I can't destroy the 'human circle'..."

"Don't worry, the task of destroying the 'Human Circle' is not yours to complete, but will be taken over by another organization in the fog. They are professional in targeting the Kingdom of God and the 'Human Circle'..." Zuo Qing said with a smile.

"Your mission is to meet them in the fog and lead them to find the entrance to Takamagahara and the 'Human Circle'. The rest will be left to them."

"No problem." Wu Xiangnan nodded heavily without any hesitation, "As long as I can destroy Takama-ga-hara and avenge them... I can do anything."

Zuo Qing opened the drawer, took out a silver nameplate and handed it to Wu Xiangnan.

"You should be familiar with this thing, right?"

Wu Xiangnan looked at the nameplate with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "This is the forbidden item that our [Blue Rain] team used when we were walking in the fog..."

"That's right. But two years ago, the Fifth Special Team took seven of them away when they left. Now there's only this last one left. I'm handing it over to you."

Wu Xiangnan nodded and put the nameplate away solemnly.

"Speaking of the Fifth Special Team, there is one more thing." Zuo Qing stood up and took out a huge map from the bookshelf behind him and spread it on the desk. "Two years ago, after the Fifth Special Team disappeared, we have been looking for their whereabouts.

In the past two years, we have sent out a large number of action teams to search the surrounding waters, but still have not found any trace of them.

So, we speculate that they may have been swept further away by the ocean currents.”

The map on the desktop was full of lines and arrows, as if simulating the flow direction of all ocean currents in that sea area. Several circles were drawn with a red pen far away from the missing sea area.

"These are where we speculate they might have been carried by the ocean currents."

Wu Xiangnan glanced at the map and frowned slightly.

"More than 700 kilometers? This distance is too far. No one can hold their breath for such a long distance, right?"
