Yan Jiu has been paying attention to about ten people these days, but only a handful are actually buried in the Huanyun Mountain Cemetery.
This meant that she wouldn't receive most of the customer rewards, but what caught Yan Jiu's attention was the content behind the system panel.
System panel: [Ding!]
The system has detected that a client followed by the host has completed the process of death, burial, and soul returning to the afterlife.
Task progress: 25/20
Received a stage reward: Yellow Talisman Paper (unlimited)!
System: [System-made products are always top-notch! This yellow talisman paper is better than six sheets!]
Compared to the currency, Yan Jiu really wanted to find an opportunity to try out this phase reward.
soon.
She didn't have a chance to think about it anymore.
The reason was that Lang Zongyi agreed to reopen the archives.
Yan Jiu rushed back to the Special Bureau and found the atmosphere inside to be very strange.
She looked at Ma Weiwei.
Ma Weiwei summarized it in one sentence: "We didn't expect that the two-faced person that the Director found was Lin Han."
As they were talking.
Ma Weiwei's expression was complicated. Lin Han was someone she had personally mentored, and she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a team leader.
The tracking needle indicated that Lin Han had gone to the water village.
The Shuizhai Ruins are not a restricted area.
But it was considered a forbidden zone by the Special Affairs Bureau.
Lin Han, as a member of the Special Bureau, "knowingly committed a crime," which makes it hard not to speculate.
With Lang Zongyi personally conducting the interrogation.
When I came out again.
Lang Zongyi surprisingly agreed to reopen the files.
Yan Jiu understood, but she didn't see the baseness of humanity in Lin Han's face; perhaps there was a reason for it.
Knock on Lang Zongyi's office door.
Yan Jiu received no response.
Just as she was about to push the door open and enter.
The door was locked from the inside.
Immediately afterwards.
Lang Zongyi's hoarse voice, as if he were being scorched by flames, came through the door.
Her voice was so soft, like a dreamlike murmur.
"Listen, after I die, you must find the old lady Shu Qin that Lin Han mentioned. She can help..."
Before he could finish speaking...
A certain word from Lang Zongyi provoked Yan Jiu.
This caused the air around Yan Jiu to freeze terrifyingly, reaching a suffocating freezing point.
She simply broke down the door and entered.
He stood before the disheveled Lang Zongyi.
Lang Zongyi's bloodshot eyes were fixed on Yan Jiu, and the chilling atmosphere made it hard to breathe.
Beside Lang Zongyi.
Scattered on the ground were empty syringes of inhibitors.
Lang Zongyi strained his fingertips until they turned white.
It felt as if his blood was flowing backward, filling his entire body with an icy chill; only restraint could suppress his madness.
Yan Jiu looked unwell.
In my memory, Lang Zongyi never lost his composure.
She wanted to go forward and help.
Lang Zongyi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Get out!"
Yan Jiu didn't speak, but demonstrated through her actions that she wouldn't leave, even grasping Lang Zongyi's wrist to stop him from attempting self-harm in order to regain his sanity.
In the end.
Yan Jiu pressed on Lang Zongyi's acupoint, forcing the riotous Lang Zongyi to fall asleep.
Hurried footsteps sounded behind Yan Jiu.
Huo Yu arrived, panting heavily: "The Director?!"
Yan Jiu stared intently and said, "Demon transformation and reversion to ancestral form is a result of the strong becoming stronger; it wouldn't be this unstable at all."
Huo Yu pursed his lips and said, "If you're asking why the riots happened, Director, we have to go back four years."
Lang Zongyi, who had just joined a special national agency, became a member of the team tasked with suppressing the Shuizhai ruins due to his outstanding performance.
At that time.
Apart from Director Zhong, who knew that Lang Zongyi was a member of the Lang family with wolf blood, the others only learned about it after witnessing Lang Zongyi's first unusual transformation amidst the bloodshed.
No one taught Lang Zongyi how to control his power.
Facing the attack of the merfolk.
A strong belief in protecting his companions led Lang Zongyi to launch a counterattack unconsciously.
They rescued him and Liu Fei.
It was that same unusual event.
This made Lang Zongyi's consciousness extremely unstable.
Without inhibitors and unwavering willpower, Lang Zongyi would probably be a pile of dust by now.
Huo Yu lowered his eyes: "The Director is clearly younger than both Liu Fei and me... It's our incompetence that's to blame."
Along the way.
Lang Zongyi never truly enjoyed the scenery along the roadside.
He was forcing himself to grow up because he didn't want to face a situation where he wanted to protect something but was powerless to do so again.
Yan Jiu didn't know how she felt.
She felt a sour and astringent sensation, as if someone had forced a handful of bitter lettuce and mint into her mouth.
The bitterness made her furrow her brow.
Yan Jiu looked at Lang Zongyi in her arms. His breathing was weak and his lips were unnaturally pale.
He doesn't look like Lang Zongyi at all during his normal period.
Yan Jiu murmured, "Is there no way?"
Huo Yu said with difficulty, "No."
Yan Jiu didn't believe it.
She handed Lang Zongyi over to Huo Yu.
Lin Han found the solitary confinement room on his own.
Lin Han didn't dare to look at Yan Jiu: "Senior."
Yan Jiu said with a stern face, "He only started rioting after he left from here. What did you say to him?"
Lin Han looked remorseful, but insisted on asking, "Are you very angry? So angry that you want to destroy everything?"
Yan Jiu narrowed his eyes.
Looking at Lin Han, whose appearance had suddenly changed.
After Lin Han said those words, his face seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist, making it impossible for even her to see clearly.
Yan Jiu smiled and said, "I won't destroy what he wants to protect, but you and the people behind you might not be so lucky."
Lin Han felt relieved.
He lowered his head and looked towards the shadow.
Soon, the shadow flickered, and a little old woman leaning on a rat-headed cane emerged from Lin Han's shadow.
The kind-faced old lady with white hair looked at Yan Jiu, who had a furrowed brow, as if she were looking at an old friend.
