For a moment, Li Zhenzhen began to suspect that she was the guest of this courtyard.

"Hello, Instructor Shen."

"This is not a training camp, don't be so cramped." Shen Qingzhu put out the cigarette butt and smiled at Li Zhenzhen, "Want an apple? I'll wash one for you?"

"No need." Li Zhenzhen shook her head flattered, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Where is Instructor Lin? Why can't I see him?"

"Qi Ye? He is discussing something with Instructor Yuan in the innermost room."

…

In a clean room.

Lin Qiye sat beside the bed, gently holding the hand of Galan who was sleeping in the bed, slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"...I understand." Yuan Gang said with a complicated expression, "You want her to stay here temporarily."

"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded slightly, "No one knows what fate our team will face after the war starts. It's too dangerous to bring her with me... and she is just sleeping after all. I can't put her in the coffin and take her with me.

I thought about it for a long time and still felt that leaving her here was the safest option.

I will leave a nurse here to take care of her, and when the war is over, or a way is found to wake her up, I will come back and take her away."

"No problem." Yuan Gang nodded slightly, "We have a lot of empty rooms here, not just for her. You guys don't have to go back to the training camp these few days, just stay here. The New Year is coming in a few days, and it will be more lively with more people."

“…Alright.”

Lin Qiye and the others had no place to live in Shangjing and could only stay temporarily in the dormitory of the training camp. Now that it was vacation, they were too lazy to go back. Since the base of the 006 team could accommodate them, it would not be a bad idea to stay here for a few days.

Lin Qiye waved his hand and summoned a blonde female nurse. After instructing her to take good care of Galan, he walked out of the room with Yuan Gang.

"Qiye, Instructor Yuan, it's time for dinner!"

Baili Pangpang walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate, saw the two people, and shouted.

Everyone took their seats.

"Where's Uncle Shao? Why isn't he here?"

Li Zhenzhen saw that Shao Pingge's seat was empty and asked in confusion.

Yuan Gang paused for a moment as he picked up the food. After a moment of silence, he said, "He has been on a business trip for the past few days and won't be back for the time being."

"oh……"

Li Zhenzhen seemed a little regretful.

[Nightfall] Everyone in the team looked at Lin Qiye, who was eating silently.

"Come on, let's toast to celebrate the victory of the Night Team in annihilating Takama-ga-hara!" Zhang Zhengting stood up from his seat, raised the beer in his hand, and spoke first.

"cheers!!"

“…”

After everyone had finished their meal, they drew lots to assign people to wash the dishes. Lucky Lin Qiye managed to escape the disaster by cheating... oh no, by luck. He sat leisurely in the corridor of the yard, chewing melon seeds.

An Qingyu took Jiang Er and sat down beside him, grabbing a handful of melon seeds:

"Qiye, can you tell me what is going to happen in Shangjing City? Is it related to Shao Pingge?"

"Did you guess it?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

"I can only say that I have some ideas." An Qingyu and Jiang Er looked at each other and smiled slightly, "When we were in Shangjing City before, I found some clues... The order in Shangjing City is very special.

Because there are too many people gathered here, the speed at which "mysteries" appear is much higher than in other cities. If the 006 team aims to eliminate every "mystery" that appears, it will be too difficult.

Therefore, the strategy used by Shangjing City to deal with the "mystery" is not "clearing out" but "deterrence".

An absolutely powerful being sits in Shangjing, like a king, suppressing visible enemies with invisible intimidation. All the "mysteries" that appear in Shangjing City must abide by the order created by this "king". Once someone crosses the line, they will be wiped out by the "king". Over time, the "mysteries" of Shangjing City will enter a state of silence.

Doing nothing is better than doing something.

This is the truth behind the peaceful and harmonious Shangjing City.

And Shao Pingge, the White Impermanence, is the 'king' who sits in the city of Shangjing."

"Yes, that's true." Lin Qiye nodded.

An Qingyu thought for a moment, and finally asked the question in his mind:

“But once the war comes, the 006 squad will be dismantled and sent to the front, and Shao Pingge will not be able to stay in Beijing.

Without the presence of the 'king', countless silent 'mysteries' will inevitably become active again. By then, this prosperous and huge modern city will become a paradise for demons...

If Shangjing City falls, the consequences will be disastrous.

What should I do about this? "

Lin Qiye cracked a handful of melon seeds, poured the melon shells onto the plate, and spoke calmly:

"It is difficult to completely eliminate the 'mystery' in Shangjing City, so this handling mode based on 'deterrence' will not change... The only thing that can change is perhaps the 'king' who sits in this city."

"You mean, after the old king leaves, a new king will come to rule Shangjing?" An Qingyu suddenly realized, "So, the big event that will happen in Shangjing City is the handover of power between the old king and the new king? But how to do this specifically?

Who is the new king? "

…

midnight.

The lights in the city went out little by little, leaving only the orange street lights, like soft ribbons hovering on the earth, quietly emitting light.

On top of a dark high-rise building, two figures stood on the rooftop, overlooking the dim city below. A dark red cloak and an old military coat fluttered slightly in the cold evening breeze.

"What should I do specifically?" Chen Han turned to look at Shao Pingge beside him.

"Establish your authority." Shao Pingge said calmly, "This city hides countless 'mysteries'. The reason why they are hiding in various places and dare not act rashly is because they are afraid of me.

If you want to take my place and shock these "mysteries", you must make them absolutely fear you.

And this kind of fear is far from enough to rely solely on the pressure of the realm..."

"I understand." Chen Han narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I want to use killing to create fear."

"Simply killing won't work either." Shao Pingge shook his head. "It's like if you raise a dog and want to teach it not to go to the toilet at home, you have to beat it up every time it goes to the toilet at home. Over time, it will know that it can't go to the toilet at home.

Children who make mistakes will be beaten, and honest children will be given candy.

Only in this way will they know what they can and cannot do...

Only in this way can you create your own order here."
