Chapter 139
On the 13th floor of the Bureau Tower.
Yuan Ling was enjoying a delicious meal in his personal prison cell with an excellent environment.
Half a year ago, she violated the rules of the Investigation Bureau, deceived her superiors and subordinates, secretly brought Shen Xin outside, and assisted the latter in opening the portal to the void. She was discovered by the chief of the 10th Bureau and arrested immediately.
Fortunately, her immediate superior Kikuno pleaded for her, so she was not severely punished and was only imprisoned in the tower for half a year.
The tower supervisors all knew what Kikuno's temper was like.
No one can mess with her, otherwise these workers will have no chance of surviving here.
Therefore, upon hearing her chilling warning that no criminal law could be used against her people and that they must be well fed and well served, the supervisors nodded their heads in agreement, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
So the six months that Yuan Ling spent in the tower seemed to be imprisonment on the surface, but in reality it was no different from a long vacation.
This made the chief of the Juban Police Station, Watari Susumu, who issued the order for his arrest, hold a grudge against him for a while.
After finally getting the chance to stand out, he was secretly dealt with by Kikuno!
Watari Jinjie stood at the foot of the tower, looked up at the 13th floor with his breath raised, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
After dinner, Yuan Ling leaned her wheelchair against the window, intending to enjoy the cool breeze.
Suddenly, she sensed something!
There was a sudden realization in my mind, and my vision became clear!
Two figures suddenly appeared at the bottom of the tower.
After seeing the two people's profiles clearly, her eyes suddenly narrowed!
It’s Shen Xin!
And Song Yue!
She looked at the two of them in disbelief, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.
However, what shocked her even more was that she actually saw tentacles looming on Song Yue's lower body!
And Shen Xin turned his head...
The eye sockets are also covered with black tentacles!
The void crack that only appears once a year allowed Song Yue and Shen Xin to return safely.
The two had tried their best to control their sanity and prevent the evil part of their bodies from emerging. However, the moment they landed, they smelled the scent of living humans around them, and both of them could not help but reveal their true forms.
Fortunately, after training in the void for half a year and a year, the two quickly suppressed their evil intentions and regained their sanity.
The tentacles under his body and the tentacles in his eye sockets disappeared in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.
However, whether it was an illusion or not was not up to them to decide, because Yuan Ling in the high tower saw clearly what had just happened.
office building.
"Report to the Director! Shen Xin is back! And with him is the newcomer Song Yue!"
A loud and powerful report startled everyone in the office.
The director put down the urgent document in his hand and glared at the employee who reported the news: "Really?! Where are they?!"
Takasaki Kazuya stood up with the help of a cane: "Quick, contact the medical center! Go get them treated right away."
Several other branch chiefs present hurriedly supported Takaki Ichi on the left and right. Although they were not their subordinates, they all showed surprise on their faces.
Only Watari Jinjie.
Ever since he heard the news that Shen Xin had returned, his originally bright face instantly fell, and his eyes were so gloomy that they seemed to drip ink.
Kikuno noticed this and sighed softly, "You're not happy about your own people coming back! You're sick!"
The news that Shen Xin and Song Yue had returned from the void quickly spread throughout the entire Investigation Bureau. Everyone congratulated them, and the director specially ordered the preparation of a welcoming banquet, which was scheduled for the evening of three days later. Reporters from all walks of life in this world would also be invited to conduct a brief interview with Level 10 Investigator Shen Xin.
After listening to the director's arrangements, Shen Xin stood in front of him respectfully and expressed his routine gratitude. Song Yue seemed less serious, looking around with a pair of eyes, as curious as Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
It was only when Ana Shen patted her back gently that she calmed down a bit.
Don't blame her~
This was her first time at the Investigation Bureau, and many things were very new to her.
However, even though his gaze was restrained, his thoughts were still wandering secretly.
Before leaving the director's office, Song Yue looked up and saw a time displayed on the electronic screen opposite: x month x day, 2541.
At this time... ?
Song Yue was suspicious for two seconds, then followed Ana Shen away.
Three days later, all arrangements for the welcoming banquet were ready.
As the absolute protagonist, Chen Xin has been the focus of everyone's attention since he entered the scene, while Song Yue is just a foil next to him. She only needs to say a few words according to the script given by the director.
After the banquet, Song Yue followed Shen Xin obediently and prepared to go on stage.
As she passed by a round table, she saw Ran Yan waving at her with a smile and making a fist gesture, meaning that she should not be nervous and cheer up.
Song Yue raised the corners of her mouth and smiled in response.
Ran Yan just came back from a mission today. When she heard that she and Shen Xin were back, she hurried to see them.
Unfortunately, they were both pulled away by the director to review the procedures and were unable to spare time, so Ran Yan had to give up for the time being.
Speaking of which, she hasn't seen Ran Yan for a year.
Compared to her cheerfulness in the polar regions, Ran Yan is now more mature. Her face is still the same, but her expression shows that she has grown a lot.
His gaze then moved to the side, and Song Yue met Yuan Ling who was next to Ran Yan.
Yuan Ling was imprisoned in a high tower because of Shen Xin. Song Yue heard about this from others when she came back.
However, this bystander was not very special. He was Yuan Ling's immediate superior, Kikuno, the director of the Second Bureau.
Kikuno stopped her halfway. Although he had a smile on his face, his sarcastic expression clearly showed that he was somewhat dissatisfied with her.
"I advise you to level up quickly, otherwise if you drag me down again next time, I'll make you pay."
After saying that, she snorted coldly, shook her wavy hair, and left without mercy.
Song Yue knew very well that she was partly responsible for Yuan Ling's imprisonment, so she didn't say anything at the time. Now that they met from a distance, her eyes naturally revealed some gratitude.
Yuan Ling accepted her gratitude and returned it with a smile.
But beyond her smile, no one saw the deep worry hidden deep in her eyes.
The interview officially begins.
The reporters asked questions in an orderly manner, and Shen Xin answered them one by one. The whole process was quite harmonious.
Until a microphone was suddenly handed to him, with a malicious tone.
"Investigator Shen Xin, can you tell me why you lost your eyeballs? Were they eaten by an evil creature? Or did you lose your sanity and have to...?"
Haha, what a disgusting question, Song Yue narrowed her eyes.
Answering that it was eaten by the evil creature is equivalent to implicitly admitting that the evil creature is powerful and the investigator is not strong enough; answering the latter...
No, there is no answer at all. This is the pit they dug, deliberately letting Shen Xin jump into it.
As a level 10 investigator, Shen Xin had come into contact with too many evil things, and there were already rumors that he was showing signs of falling.
Although this is indeed the case, she must never admit it publicly, otherwise, she and Shen Xin will definitely be sentenced to death.
While thinking, Song Yue couldn't help but look at Ana Shen, wondering how he would answer.
"Sir," Chen Xin spoke slowly and unhurriedly, "Do you think that everyone who loses their eyes in this world is due to evil? Or do you think from the bottom of your heart that this is how investigators should end up? So that they can become the subject of your writings?"
The audience suddenly became quiet.
The questioner had no idea that Shen Xin would immediately accuse him of something.
Investigators are people who voluntarily work on the front lines for the safety of mankind. Although they are not affiliated with any state-owned institutions, they have always had a good reputation among the people.
With these few words from Shen Xin, the reporter's sarcastic and profit-seeking mind was suddenly revealed.
Seeing this, the other reporters took a half step back to allow the brave man who asked the question to continue.
Question to the Warriors: ...Go on, keep going!
He took back the microphone, tucked his tail between his legs and retreated into the crowd.
This scene was seen by many people.
Ran Yan raised her hands and crossed them behind her head: "This reporter is really bold. This is the Investigation Bureau, and they dare to be so sarcastic to us~"
Yuan Ling curled her lips with disdain: "Just a jumping clown." How could he be worthy of Shen Xin's attention?
Most people nodded happily at Shen Xin's answer.
When people still except Watari Jinjie.
No one noticed that his expression was changing from gloomy to bright at this moment. When it was gloomy, he looked like a cunning villain, and when it was bright, he looked like a crazy lunatic.
He narrowed his eyes proudly and looked at the person who was talking on the podium. The next second, he pressed the send button on his mobile phone.
Outside the building, some carts carrying fresh corpses happened to pass by.
The wind carried the smell into the building.
Shen Xin and Song Yue's hearts suddenly shook!
It's human blood! And human flesh!
Oh no, it seems like evil is taking over their bodies!
Yuan Ling immediately noticed something was wrong with them and steered her wheelchair over. Ran Yan followed her and asked what was wrong.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, countless tentacles suddenly grew out of Shen Xin's eye sockets, like the tiny tentacles of anemones, waving on his face; black tentacles suddenly grew out of Song Yue's lower body, which squirmed and stretched on the ground, exuding a strong greedy evil intention.
The hall erupted in screams!
"Monster! There's a monster in the Investigation Bureau!"
"Everyone, run! The monster is going to eat people!"
The invited guests fled outside one after another, while the reporters endured the great fear and captured the scene of the two people falling on the stage with their cameras.
"Stop filming! If you continue filming, I'll hit you!"
Knowing full well how much crisis such a photo would bring to the bureau, Song Yue and Shen Xin if it were to be spread, Ran Yan rushed forward swiftly, trying to grab the camera.
However, in the face of huge interests, morality? Threats? It doesn't matter!
After the reporters took all the photos they wanted, they slipped away through the side door in an instant and could not be stopped at all.
The scene was in chaos. Yuan Ling looked at the fleeing people, then at the two people on the stage, and her heart immediately sank to the bottom.
Half an hour later.
The story of the most accomplished investigator's fall into evil made headlines.
Traffic exploded instantly, and the investigation bureau was accused by citizens of harboring evil things!
The author has something to say:
This world line is almost over~
