Earth, Xuanguo Lianjiang, Tianlian Academy.
The Countermeasures Bureau set up a cordon outside the teacher dormitory building. Vice President Yuan Chu rushed back overnight to deal with the whole matter. He was relieved to learn from Li Danli, the captain of Lianjiang Countermeasures Team 1, that there were no casualties. "It's just one-sixth of the building that was destroyed. I will apply to the higher-ups to have the infrastructure team come over to repair it. By the way, are the two deputy directors here?"
"They are busy... Also, because we need to collect intelligence on the alien enemies, we have taken away all the surveillance video records in the corridors of the building and the surveillance videos of nearby roads. They are kept by the Countermeasures Bureau. I hope Principal Yuan can understand."
"I understand, I understand." Yuan Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Dan turned his head and glanced at the damaged houses: "Also, the damaged units this time also include Brother Dong Chengling's unit. You know, Brother Dong Chengling is an important consultant to our Countermeasures Bureau..."
Yuan Chu's face looked a little grim: "This is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. I promised to try my best to apply for compensation for Teacher Dong Chengling, but this kind of incident is really a major event that has never happened in human history. I don't know how the city will decide..."
"Yes, this is a major event that has never happened in human history..." Li Dan sighed, "So we plan to invite monk Dong Chengling to stay in the city and assist the Countermeasures Bureau in dealing with the reappearance of enemies from other worlds. Dong Chengling is a rare space monk and has great strategic significance for us."
"But school starts tomorrow..." Yuan Chu hesitated.
Yuan Chu hesitated for a moment, but soon nodded: "Teacher Dong Chengling is an outstanding teacher in our college. Now the school is about to start again, but since it is for the safety of Lianjiang City, Tianlian College will never hold back the Countermeasures Bureau. How long do you need Teacher Dong Chengling to stay in charge?"
"Probably...if no other emergencies occur before March, we will let Dong Chengling return to her post." Li Dan said, "You can take advantage of this time to have the infrastructure team repair Dong Chengling's unit. Otherwise, if she comes back and has nowhere to live..."
"Don't worry, there are temporary accommodations in the academy. And..." Yuan Chu looked at another dormitory building: "Teacher Dong Chengling also has friends here. She might be willing to make do and live with her friends for a while."
At this time, Yuan Chu muttered: "Maybe living together will turn into a long-term cohabitation relationship..."
Li Dan was slightly startled, but after thinking carefully, she felt that there was nothing worth being surprised about - just take Ren Suo and Dong Chengling, even if the two of them didn't show their affection and didn't go out, anyone who was attentive would definitely be able to see the problem.
Eh? Wait? According to the observations of the people at Tianlian Academy, Ren Suo and Dong Chengling are a couple?
But according to Li Dan, the number one boss in the Countermeasures Bureau’s gossip world, Deputy Director Qiao and Ren Suo also seem to... ?
However, the reason why Li Dan, a cultivator whose awakening spell was born for gossip, can still live to this day and even has good popularity, Yu Kuangtu scare him, Qiao Muyi respects him, is because of his excellent character and tightly closed lips. Therefore, his face did not change, and he said: "By the way, we also need to temporarily requisition Ren Suo. The Countermeasures Bureau needs a strong healing cultivator to take charge..."
"I understand, I understand. When men and women work together, the work becomes less tiring." Yuan Chu had an understanding look on his face.
When Li Dan returned to the Countermeasures Bureau's vehicle, he saw Yu Kuangtu standing aside and asked, "Are you not finished talking yet?"
Yu Kuangtu glanced at the car not far away: "Not yet, Qiao Muyi is still chatting with Xiao Jiu... That guy even set up a silent barrier, what happened?"
"Anyway, Ren Suo and Dong Chengling are alive, and there is no blood at the scene." Li Dan said, "And if they were dead, Deputy Director Qiao would definitely not be conducting the investigation so calmly now."
"I also think that nothing happened to them, but they were definitely involved in the first alien impact on Earth. As for what happened, it may be beyond your and my expectations."
Yu Kuangtu took out a cigarette box from his pocket, squeezed out a white cigarette, held it in his mouth, and lit it with his fingertips.
Li Dan frowned slightly and took away the cigarette directly: "Where did you learn this bad thing... huh?"
Li Dan looked at the cigarette carefully: "Is this... candy?"
"Hey, flammable candy, you haven't seen it before, you think I'm smoking, but I'm actually sucking candy!" Yu Kuangtu took it back and said, "Look, I'm a flame awakener, but I don't seem to have any iconic features. I watched a superpower movie with Lianlian these days and found that people with flame abilities all hold cigarettes in their mouths, whether they're a 14-year-old flaming red-haired guy or a 40-year-old flaming admiral. They don't look like they're playing with fire if they don't smoke a cigar."
"Then Lianlian told me that there is this kind of combustible cigarette candy online, and it tastes pretty good. Would you like to have one?"
Li Dan was speechless. At this time, a monk from the Countermeasures Bureau came over with a transparent bag containing a hard drive. "Captain, this is the hard drive in the monitoring room that you asked for. It hasn't been labeled yet."
"Thank you, let's get back to work." Li Dan took the transparent bag and looked at the hard drive inside. "Do you think Ren Suo and Dong Chengling encountered an alien enemy?"
"Most likely."
"Did they fight the enemy or escape? If they wanted to escape, Dong Chengling, who has the ability to teleport, is almost invincible. They are not here, maybe they just teleported to some other place."
Yu Kuangtu took a few sips but still felt unsatisfied, so he opened his mouth and swallowed the whole cigarette candy, chewing and saying, "But if they had escaped at the beginning, why would Dong Chengling's unit be destroyed? And we can't contact them at all now, can they teleport to another world?"
Li Dan blinked his eyes. "There are some unexpected but reasonable possibilities... The person is missing and cannot be contacted. As for the house, it may not have been destroyed by the enemy from another world..."
Yu Kuangtu was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Dan curiously and asked: "What's the possibility? This house was not destroyed by the enemy from another world, could it be that Qiao Muyi had destroyed it?"
I didn't say anything.
The person is missing, so he must have escaped through space teleportation; he cannot be contacted, so the communication method may have been cut off manually; as for the house being destroyed...
With Qiao Muyi's devilish temper, if she heard that Dong Chengling had kidnapped Ren Suo and they couldn't get in touch with each other at all, and the two of them had simply disappeared from the face of the earth, then she would just blow up Dong Chengling's unit, which would be considered a sign of deep affection and some rationality.
Qiao Muyi suddenly broke through to the fourth level just now. Maybe it was because she heard this news that she got so angry...
"What are you talking about?"
Hearing Qiao Muyi's voice, Li Dan, who had been mumbling in his heart, immediately replied calmly: "We are talking about where Ren Suo and Dong Chengling are now... Deputy Director Qiao, this is the surveillance video."
"Well, thank you." Qiao Muyi took the transparent bag, pressed both hands, and a black flame without leaking any heat or light burst out between his palms, silently burning the bag and the hard drive into white ashes.
Yu Kuangtu was dumbfounded: "You are..."
"There's no evidence label on this bag, so it doesn't count as destroying evidence." Qiao Muyi shook her head and said, "If you have any opinions, you can complain to me later. Now, help me do a few things... First, hire Ren Suo and Dong Chengling in the name of the Countermeasures Bureau and create the illusion that they are working for us."
Li Dan said, "I have already discussed this with the vice president of Tianlian College. I will send a message to the others in their names later, saying that they are not available for contact these two days because they are participating in a confidential operation."
Qiao Muyi: "And Ren Suo's sister Ren Xingmei, you also have to ask for leave from the college for her."
Li Dan was slightly startled: "What, he ran away with his sister...?"
Qiao Muyi glanced at Li Dan. It was unclear whether she had heard the hidden meaning behind Li Dan's words. Anyway, she continued, "See if there is anything missing. Dong Chengling and Ren Suo did not take any transportation. They came to Tianlian College directly by teleportation. So we just need to string together our statements and unanimously say that they are working with us. We should be able to get away with it and no one will know that they were attacked in the college."
Yu Kuangtu hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Now that a plane war is about to break out, do we really need to worry about these trivial matters?"
Yu Kuangtu actually understood why Qiao Muyi did this. He also vaguely knew that Ren Suo and Dong Chengling might have used some shameful trump cards when fighting against the enemies from other worlds, so Qiao Muyi was eager to destroy the evidence for them.
Yu Kuangtu trusted the characters of Ren Suo and Dong Chengling. He also knew that awakened people would have some secrets that they were unwilling to reveal.
Because even if the awakener has a good record and good character, if the awakening spell of the awakener is too powerful, he will still be closely protected by the country, and the country will even provide houses for careful resettlement. There are indeed some awakeners who are just waiting to die and are willing to accept this kind of protection, but there are definitely many people who would rather remain anonymous.
But now a major change has occurred that has never been seen in human history: an invasion from another dimension.
At this time, is it really necessary for Qiao Muyi to go to such great lengths to conceal their true colors?
And where did Ren Suo and Dong Chengling escape to? Did Qiao Muyi need to collude with them to create the illusion that Ren Suo and Dong Chengling did not leave?
But Qiao Muyi shook his head and said, "The plane war will not break out. This matter is not a trivial matter."
Almost subconsciously, Li Dan and Yu Kuangtu knew that the reason why Qiao Muyi was so confident must be related to Ren Suo.
It's about Ren Suo...
Yu Kuangtu sighed: "Then whatever you say is fine, I don't care."
"Is it enough to just conceal it until March?" Li Dan asked, "Can they come back before March?"
"able!"
Xiao Jiu, holding the black cat, walked behind Qiao Muyi and said crisply, "Big brother, Sister Ling and Little Xingxing will definitely come back before March!"
Qiao Muyi touched Xiaojiu's head, stretched out her hand and lifted the black cat into her arms. The black cat lay in Qiao Muyi's arms like a ball, not daring to move at all.
With the power of the Countermeasures Bureau, it is indeed not difficult to conceal the whereabouts of three people. Li Dan thought for a while and said, "I will follow up on this matter... Is there anything else?"
"Oh, by the way," Qiao Muyi pointed at the dormitory building that had been destroyed and said, "Dong Chengling's unit must be repaired before March, and the formaldehyde must be removed after the renovation. In short, I want Chengling to be able to live in my own home as soon as he comes back!"
