Chapter 99 Dawn Plan
The dusk slowly spreads over this simple little house like melted asphalt.
Shen Qing squatted in front of the wooden cabinet and stuffed the last stack of talisman paper into the cloth bag.
When his fingertips touched the yellowed "Record of the Underworld", the light suddenly shook strangely, casting a distorted black shadow on the wall.
"Pah"——
A subtle sound came from behind him, and Shen Qing turned around abruptly, with his lower back pressed against the wooden cabinet.
"who!"
Could Renly still pursue him so persistently? !
In the corner, half of a pale arm poked out from the gray shadows, with dark brown dirt embedded in the nails.
The moment those ink-black eyes met his, the air suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"S-Sir!"
The little ghost retracted his hand as if he was burned, and quickly stuck half of his body out again.
Under the tattered bellyband, the jagged ribs were clearly visible, and the purple marks on the neck were shocking.
"It's you...it's really you!"
Shen Qing tightly grasped the sword at his waist, but when he saw the little ghost clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"It's you, little guy. Turns out you're okay!"
"I thought something happened to you, sir! I was so scared."
The little ghost suddenly rushed over and hugged his legs tightly with his cold arms.
"When I came back to life from the shadows, I couldn't find your scent anymore..."
There were sobs mixed with intermittent gasps, and the thin body was shaking violently.
"I thought...you were captured by those bad guys"
When the little ghost said this, he cried even more miserably.
"I'm fine. Yeluvis saved me. You just happened to show up. Come back to the underworld with me."
The candles went out with a puff, the doors and windows blasted with thunder,
Shen Qing looked at the burning teleportation talisman in his palm. The flames illuminated the little ghost's fearful and expectant eyes.
The lines on the talisman suddenly glowed with a faint blue light. He gritted his teeth and tore off the red string that tied the talisman paper, and held the little ghost in his arms.
"Hold on tight!"
The moment the swirling light engulfed the two, the little ghost cheered in surprise.
Shen Qing felt his whole body enveloped by coldness. Amid the whistling wind, he could vaguely hear the little ghost's sobbing murmur.
"I knew... the Master would come back!"
"Why are you so happy?"
The little ghost raised his head with a sincere look on his face, but his hands tightly grasped Shen Qingze's collar.
"Because after you go back, I won't have to worry about anything happening to you anymore. The Black and White Impermanence will throw me into the oil pan and fry me!"
Shen Qingze:........

Qin Xiyang pushed open Fang Changling's office door violently. The metal door handle hit the wall with a dull sound.
His chest rose and fell violently, and the veins on his forehead throbbed with his rapid breathing. His eyes swept across the two busy figures behind the desk.
Fang Changling was buried in a pile of documents, staring intently at the documents in his hands and making comments.
Lai Yun half-lay on the edge of the table, drawing dense marks on the tactical map with a red pen, nodding from time to time.
"Shen Qingze is gone!"
Qin Xiyang stepped forward and slammed his palm on the table, causing the documents to rustle.
"Don't you know that guy is now an important person?"
Fang Changling didn't even raise his head, he was writing on the report with a pen between his fingers.
"knew."
"You know again?"
Qin Xiyang's temples were throbbing, and he grabbed the paperweight on the table and smashed it to the ground.
"He left without saying anything. Was he doubting the ability of our police?"
"It's already like this! You're still dealing with overdue reports!?"
Lai Yun straightened up, his military boots rolling across the floor making a harsh friction sound.
She took off her glasses and wiped them, revealing the bruises under her eyes.
"Qin Xiyang, Shen Qingze was able to escape death several times. Do you think he is really an ordinary person?"
She pulled out the tablet hidden under the file, and dense codes popped up on the screen.
"We may not understand what he knows, and perhaps only he himself can understand what he is doing."
"Instead of worrying about him, let's worry about ourselves first."
Fang Changling finally put down the documents in his hand, his eyes were like ice.
"Liang Zhao took it upon himself to launch the 'Dawn Plan' and used us as pawns."
He pulled out the file bag at the bottom, which contained the secret operation order signed by Liang Zhao.
"It's a good thing for us that Qingze is leaving. He doesn't know Qingze's ability and won't pay too much attention to him,"
"What we need to do now is not to chase people, but to dig an escape route in Liang Zhao's trap."
Lai Yun took out a cigarette and held it in the corner of her mouth. The moment the match was lit, the jumping flames illuminated the coldness in her eyes.
"That guy Liang Zhao might be hiding in the dark and watching us laugh."
Qin Xiyang calmed down, found an empty stool and sat down at the table.
"What did Liang Zhao do? Wasn't the 'Dawn Project' already strictly stopped?"
Lai Yun handed him the code on the tablet computer. It was information from the Intelligence Bureau.
"Liang Zhao, without our advice or consultation, privately lumped all the disappearances and kidnappings this time into the same category as those seven years ago,"
"Then, through some means unknown to us, the case files from seven years ago were retrieved, and the 'Dawn Project' was also reactivated by him."
The fan in the office made a slight hum, mixed with the rustling of files.
Lai Yun put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and sparks flew on the burn-marked glass surface, like some kind of silent metaphor.
"Liang Zhao's plan is like a tango on a tightrope,"
Qin Xiyang loosened his tie, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
"Those newly deployed secret sentries are basically sitting ducks. As long as the enemy finds a flaw..."
Fang Changling turned the pen, and the pen drew a cold arc of light between his fingers.
"Last week's communication records showed that Liang Zhao bypassed us and contacted the headquarters directly."
He threw a stack of encrypted messages on the table. The edges of the papers glowed blue under the desk lamp.
"If it weren't for Lai Yun's connections in the Intelligence Bureau, we might not have known about this."
Qin Xiyang scratched his head and roared,
"It was the same seven years ago! They treated us like monkeys! Now Liang Zhao is going to use the same old tricks again?!"
His voice echoed in the empty office, gradually turning into heavy gasps, and the air seemed to solidify into a block of lead.
Lai Yun glanced at the photo hanging on the office wall, but he could not get rid of the mist in his heart.
The Dawn Project was built with blood and lives.
That was the memory of seven years ago when she watched her teammates turn into digital codes in the rainstorm.
"Liang Zhao holds the backup file from seven years ago."
Fang Changling's voice seemed to be squeezed out from the deepest part of his chest.
"Every step he takes, he is tearing open the loopholes of the past again."
There was a muffled sound outside the window. The shadows of the three people twisted and overlapped on the wall, like the totem of some trapped beast.
Lai Yun took out a lighter and put it down again. Qin Xiyang stared at his trembling hands. Fang Changling broke the pencil fiercely, and the ink left hideous marks on the document.
No one said a word, but everyone understood.
What they have to fight against is not only Liang Zhao, but also the old scar that has swallowed countless lives and can never heal.
