Chapter 59
Everyone was intrigued by the secret weapon that Captain Yang mentioned, and they were eagerly anticipating his next move.
I wonder what new things they've researched this time.
expect!
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Yang Lanling calmly took out more than a dozen yellow talismans and distributed them.
Team members: ? ? ?
"symbol?"
"Is this to ensure our safety?"
"I thought it was some new type of weapon?"
"..."
Everyone was puzzled as to why this talisman could be used as a secret weapon. Could it possibly save their lives after a mission?
They all blinked and looked at Yang Lanling in confusion, thinking he was joking with them.
"Captain Yang, hurry up and show it to the brothers, don't hide it!"
"Haha...yes, we don't believe in this kind of talisman."
"Ahem~ Everyone, please be quiet!"
Yang Lanling coughed lightly. If he hadn't seen so many cases, he would have also found it a bit outrageous.
He explained, "First of all, the talismans you have are not peace talismans, but energy detection talismans."
"Don't question me yet," Yang Lanling interrupted as soon as someone opened their mouth. "You all know my character. I'm not joking with you right now, understand?"
"clear."
The team members suppressed their doubts and answered loudly.
"Now I'll explain how to use it. This energy detector doesn't need to be activated by us. It can automatically sense spiritual energy, yin energy, and other kinds of bad luck, etc. As for what kind of bad luck, experts say that we are unlikely to encounter it. It's mainly spiritual energy and yin energy."
"We detected white light emanating from spiritual energy, while yin energy and bad luck are black. If any abnormality is found in the talisman, report it immediately. We cannot handle this matter ourselves, so we must report it immediately."
Spiritual energy and yin energy, which were common in online novels or anime and TV shows in the past, are now being mentioned by Captain Yang, who often says to value evidence and believe in science, in the context of his work unit, the criminal investigation team.
"Hiss~"
In the conference room, which was neither too big nor too small, a dozen or so people simultaneously cried out in pain.
The person who was pinched pinched back.
"hiss--"
Another cry of pain rang out.
Reality is too surreal.
Both spiritual energy and yin energy emerged.
Doesn't this mean that spiritual energy has revived as people say online?!
Some people who don't often use the internet looked completely bewildered, glancing left and right.
Yang Lanling took in everyone's expressions and gave them time to react.
Some of the younger officers were particularly excited: "Captain Yang, is it true what they say online, that spiritual energy is making a comeback?"
"Can we also cultivate immortality?"
Yang Lanling said he was also unaware of this kind of talk and that he would wait for instructions from above.
After he divided the team into groups, he assigned each team a patrol area, and he emphasized the method of preserving the talismans.
Before leaving, he called over the squad leaders and revealed that the cult would be making some small moves soon.
Be sure to be careful and thorough when conducting inspections.
...
"Junior brother, I miss Master."
Yun Qingzi carefully arranged the compass and peach wood sword inside her body into a spirit-nurturing array using water chestnut fruit, allowing them to continue to nourish themselves.
He carefully put it down.
After Jin Moli finished her work, she looked at the sun outside and her little face was a little sullen.
Seeing her like this, Yun Qingzi understood that her senior sister was probably homesick.
He said, "It'll be soon, we can go back in a few days."
"A few days is a few days, right?"
Jin Moli didn't want vague numbers; she wanted to know how long it would be before she could see her grandmother and master again.
Although she had a high level of cultivation here, there were many things she didn't understand, so her junior brother had to handle them, but she was also the senior sister...
I cannot stand alone like my master and fellow disciples.
Jin Moli, who is about to enter puberty, has her own troubles. After returning home, she still has a lot to learn and needs to take on the responsibilities of the senior sister.
But... she still had some thoughts about it...
Yun Qingzi choked, unable to say how much longer they would have to go, and could only say, "I don't know either."
"Knock knock~"
"Come in."
The door opened, and two young staff members came in; they were sent by the organization to take care of them.
As soon as they entered, one of the young ladies noticed that Jin Moli's expression wasn't quite right. She walked over quickly and asked gently, "Little Moli, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"
"Can I tell my sister about it?"
The male staff member looked at Yun Qingzi questioningly.
Yun Qingzi said with a hint of helplessness, "Senior Sister is a little homesick."
When her words touched her heart, Jin Moli's big eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at her older sister with hope in them.
If the junior brother doesn't know, then will the older sister know?
The staff member paused slightly, "Jasmine, could you wait a few minutes while I go ask?"
"good!"
Yun Qingzi stepped forward: "My senior sister hasn't traveled far for long periods of time, could you please go and ask her?"
"No trouble at all, cloud expert, I'll go out and ask first."
"good."
Sure enough, within a few minutes, Jin Moli saw the young lady come in.
Her eyes lit up instantly.
Seeing Jin Moli's expectant look, the staff member smiled knowingly, "Little Moli, if you want to go back, we can go back now."
Now?
Jin Moli hesitated for a moment, glancing at the sky. The setting sun cast a warm orange glow on her face.
She shook her head slightly. "It's too late!"
"Going back too late will disturb Master and Grandma's rest."
Staff member: "Then we'll do it tomorrow morning."
"How much work do we still have to do?" Jin Moli thought of the important matter she had promised her master.
"Only S Province is left, that's our last stop."
"Isn't it going to be quick?"
"You could say that."
Jin Moli looked troubled and pitifully turned to her junior brother, hoping he could give her some advice.
"Do you want to leave now and rush back, or do you want to finish up and go straight back to Linxi Cave and never come out again?" Yun Qingzi asked softly.
There was nothing he could do; Jin Moli had a higher cultivation level and more abundant spiritual power than him.
There are some things that Yun Qingzi can't handle alone.
She pursed her lips and decided, "Miss, I...I won't go back. I'll go back after I'm done with this."
The staff member was only around thirty-eight years old. She had a daughter at home who was about the same age as Jin Moli. Seeing her earnest face, which showed her to do her best despite her young age, Jin Moli liked her very much and treated her like her own daughter.
She asked earnestly, "Little Jasmine, are you sure?"
"Uh-huh."
Day 2
The little girl and Yun Qingzi reappeared at the gathering place, looking radiant.
This place has gathered the elite troops from the surrounding military regions; they are all young, promising, and resilient soldiers.
They entered the two rooms one after another.
They went in and came out inexplicably.
Everyone was baffled, not knowing what they were testing.
We're waiting for each test to be completed and the results to come out.
Jin Moli and Yun Qingzi gave the results: only a handful of people possessed the talent for cultivation.
The spiritual energy revival has just begun, and those we can discover are all exceptionally talented individuals. As the concentration of spiritual energy in the world increases, their bodies will naturally adapt.
At that time, practitioners will naturally emerge in an endless stream.
Upon receiving the results, those in the know sighed softly.
...
"Hurry, hurry up!"
In the dimly lit underground parking lot, the group carefully traced lines with dark reddish-gray soil in their hands. Li Fang moved slowly, and after being scolded several times, she quickened her pace, trembling.
A speck of dust landed on the tip of her nose by accident, but she wiped it off without a second thought.
Suddenly she paused, picked up her hand and smelled it, then brought the dark red gray soil in her hand closer.
She took a small breath and smelled a strange scent of incense ash mixed with a barely perceptible fishy smell. The fishy smell was so faint that she wouldn't have been able to smell it if her hands hadn't been covered in it for so long.
Li Fang felt a sense of familiarity; the fishy smell was like...like...what?
Her mind seemed to be filled with cotton wool, obstructing her thoughts, and her thin face was lost in thought under the dim light.
"What are you doing? Hurry up!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the side, interrupting her train of thought. She bent over and continued to work faster and more diligently.
On the other side, Liu Yunqing bent over and followed the people in front of her, carrying vegetable oil, alcohol, cotton, cloth and other things to fill every corner of the old building.
As Liu Yunqing continued climbing the stairs, he found himself running out of energy. He sat on the stairwell, panting, his face and body soaked with sweat that had stained his yellowish white T-shirt.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a childish voice rang out behind him.
Liu Yunqing turned his head and saw that it was a little girl who was not much older than his daughter.
Thinking of his daughter, he paused, not answering the girl's question for a moment.
The girl went down a few steps.
She asked curiously, "Uncle, why are you sitting here?"
"We have air conditioning upstairs, so it's not hot."
Liu Yunqing then turned her head to look at the girl, a barely perceptible tenderness in her eyes, "Aren't you afraid of me, little one?"
Why be afraid?
"You haven't answered my question yet. The teacher said it's impolite to ignore people." The little girl's round cheeks were flushed with a healthy pink, and her little mouth kept moving.
"Ha ha……"
"Do you, a little girl, have to chat with everyone you meet?"
The girl asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Oh, I guessed."
"Yu Aibao! Yu Aibao—" A woman's voice suddenly called out a name repeatedly in the corridor.
Liu Yunqing looked at the girl suspiciously: "Did you sneak out?"
"I...I didn't!" the girl retorted loudly and defiantly. Before she could finish speaking, a woman in her twenties heard the commotion and came down the stairs. As soon as she entered, she saw the girl with her arms on her hips, and the smug girl immediately became furious.
She quietly walked up behind the girl without saying a word.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Yunqing joked, "Really? Then who's the person behind you?"
"There's no one behind me... Oh, teacher~ what are you doing here?" The girl tilted her head, her sweet voice filled with confusion.
"Teacher, can you become invisible?"
"Hehe..." The teacher gave a forced smile. "The teacher can't turn invisible. I'm here to catch you. Are you skipping class or not?"
"hey-hey……"
The little girl smiled foolishly.
The class was still in session, and the girl had been out looking for someone for a while, so the teacher quickly pulled her back.
Inside the stairwell, Yun Qingzi watched with a smile as the girl was led away.
What a naughty child!
He needs to work harder to get his daughter back as soon as possible.
He got up, picked up a heavy roll of cloth, and continued walking uphill.
