The Heicheng Kingdom was in the thirteenth year of Lingxuan.
Yuchuan Prefecture, Shuijiang City.
The police station in the east of the city.
Bai Xiaozhen dragged his somewhat tired body, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and poured a pile of black things inside onto the wooden table in front of him.
With her only remaining eye, she looked at the middle-aged man in black official uniform opposite her, "Master Li, Wen Liu and Chen Xun have been apprehended."
The middle-aged man called Mr. Li, with a fair complexion and no beard, was the chief inspector of the police station, specifically responsible for public security issues in the city.
He carefully took out a blue-black finger remnant from the blood-stained black blocks.
The remains had only three fingers, which were bluish-black in color, and the nails were long and sharp, like steel knives. When they fell into Lord Li's hands, they made a slight sound of metal colliding.
"Wen Liu and Chen Xun were originally my colleagues, but they became possessed and transformed into zombies and demons, contaminating the civilian population and wreaking havoc in the city." Inspector Li sighed. "Captain Bai, this encirclement and suppression operation was well done. You're credited with the first achievement, and the reward from above will be distributed soon."
Bai Xiaozhen shook his head: "Many of my colleagues died in this encirclement and suppression. Add my reward to their pensions."
Inspector Li smiled lightly and said nothing more, but nodded in agreement: "You are indeed loyal and righteous."
Then he continued, "Now that this incident is resolved, you can take a few days off. I'll have new tasks assigned to you next Tuesday."
Bai Xiaozhen nodded and then walked out of the police station.
As Director Li watched the woman leave, his smile gradually faded. He gathered the zombie remains on the table into a cloth bag and walked towards another office.
Walking out of the police station, Bai Xiaozhen raised his head, looked at the sunlight above his head which was always gray, and rubbed the place where the black eye mask was on the other side of his eyes.
She sighed softly, "Another year has passed."
It is spring now.
Eight years have passed since I escaped from Lugui Village in late spring.
Because his foundation was damaged in his early years and his lifespan was short, even though he became a Qi Refiner and patched up a lot, Bai Xiaozhen now looks to be around thirty years old.
Now she is middle-aged, a one-eyed woman with ordinary appearance and strong body.
In addition, he had been working in the police station for many years, so his hands were covered with calluses and stained with blood, giving him a kind of intimidating and murderous look.
Bai Xiaozhen walked around the black cars parked in front of the police station and got on a rickshaw across the street. "Master, go to No. 45 Wutong Road."
"Okay! Sir, please slow down."
The rickshaw driver looked at the middle-aged woman in patrol uniform in front of him with a look of fear in his eyes. He very respectfully pulled down the cart to make it easier for the other party to get in.
Dudu——
The rickshaw driver honked the cheap horn at hand and ran towards the street.
Bai Xiaozhen, sitting in the rickshaw, leaned against the slightly soft seat and closed her eyes tiredly, but soon opened them slowly.
A beautiful girl in a red dress, with long flowing hair, who was so charming and seductive that she didn't look like a human, was half leaning beside her.
The fragrance on the other person was not strong, but just a faint smell, like some kind of drowsy rosemary.
However, Bai Xiaozhen knew that this was just a smell derived from an illusion.
The other party has no entity.
The Medicine Immortal has not appeared many times in the past two months.
If it appears, it usually means something important, such as this operation to encircle and suppress zombies.
"Medicine Fairy, what's wrong?"
Bai Xiaozhen's voice was very low, but the way she spoke to the air made the Huang Bao chef, who was looking back from time to time, look even more frightened.
[I recommend the Huanyuan app, which is really useful for reading books. Download it here. Go and try it out.]
Normally, people like them who work hard at the bottom of society are more observant of people's words and expressions, and they know that most of the big guys in the police station are a little abnormal.
This abnormality is reflected in all aspects.
Anyway, Bai Xiaozhen likes to talk to himself in the air, and his colleagues in the police station are no longer surprised by it.
The regret of the immortal who helped him escape from death that year, he called himself the Medicine Immortal.
The relationship between the two is not that of master and disciple, but just a very ordinary alliance of interests.
Xu Xianxian half leaned next to the middle-aged aunt, her slender white fingers hooked a strand of her hair and twirled it in circles.
Her big, watery eyes blinked, and she said in a sweet voice, "Xiao Zhen, if you don't break through to the late stage of Dao Foundation and open the Eye of Xuan Lu, there may be a bloody disaster this month."
Bai Xiaozhen didn't ask why, as the Medicine Immortal seemed to have the ability to predict the future.
Among Qi Refiners, this is an advanced direction of fortune-telling and is very rare.
Anyway, every prediction and warning from the other party would eventually come true, so she had long been accustomed to it.
Bai Xiaozhen remained calm, keeping her hands as far away as possible, not wanting to come into direct contact with the Medicine Immortal. Frowning, she asked, "Where are they from? The Bare Hand Gang, the Moonlight Society, or those people from the Deep Sea?"
The Bare Hand Gang is a local gang, and the Moonlight Society is a cult that wreaks havoc on the Black Country. They support warlords in various places and establish their own regimes.
The people of the deep sea are a race that came from the other side of the deep sea after the great changes in heaven and earth a hundred years ago. They call themselves Theresa people.
This group of people had blond hair and blue eyes, and their appearance was completely different from theirs.
The locals think these people have ferocious appearances and prefer to call this group of deep-sea people "Rakshasa ghosts".
In fact, Bai Xiaozhen had heard from the Medicine Immortal that the Endless Ocean was filled with death, and only demons and monsters could survive. These so-called deep-sea people were not native to the area, but had come here from another world.
They have several concession ports in the Black Sea country.
He also attempted to turn Shuijiang City into a concession, much to the displeasure of the local governors, leading to numerous conflicts. As a member of the police station, he naturally had his share of incidents.
"None of these three." Xu Xianxian chuckled, "It's the murderous intent brought about by the police station where you worked for many years."
“…Who is targeting me?”
Bai Xiaozhen was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
She had fled from Lugui Village on the border of Heicheng Country for nearly a year, passing through many states and counties before arriving at this coastal city.
Here, steam tools, Qi-refining practitioners, mutated monsters, warlords, gangs, and heterodox religions emerge in an endless stream. The level of weirdness and prosperity far exceeds that of that small village in the remote mountains.
The first time she saw the black iron box named a car, it completely shocked her numb heart. Her poor imagination could not describe her feelings at that time.
In Lugui Village, the only means of transportation is cows, there are not even horse-drawn carriages, and only the village chief is qualified to ride a cow. Ordinary villagers can only walk to other places.
Therefore, many villagers have never left the jurisdiction of Lugui Village in their entire lives and have never seen the outside world.
"It could be your competitor, or someone higher up in the police station."
Xu Xianxian pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
