"I don't agree. My nephew fought for the Four Continents Alliance for a full ten years from the age of fifteen to twenty-five, and what was the final result? You let him return with a mental illness diagnosis, and now he has only been back for a short time, and you let him go back again? Shen An, where is your conscience?"
Chu Yunrou supported herself on the table with both hands, her chest heaving with anger.
The Chu family bloodline can easily become awakened, and most of her relatives have devoted themselves to this dangerous field.
From the moment their bloodline awakened, they were prepared to sacrifice at any time, but this did not mean that the children in their family could be used as fuel by others.
"The situation is special. No one expected that pollution would suddenly increase. The current global situation is not optimistic."
Shen An blinked his eyes, and there was a rare hint of guilt in his tone.
"I'm sorry for what happened back then."
At first, they only wanted to kill off high-level pollutants and reduce the casualty rate of investigators, so in the past ten years, Chu Zehuai, who joined the alliance, went to various places in the four continents to clean up pollutants and deformers day and night, and turned himself into a human weapon.
No one discovered in advance that Chu Zehuai's mind had become abnormal due to long-term exposure to pollution and excessive use of his abilities. After all, how could such a strong person have a weak moment?
Maybe some people noticed it a little bit, but still chose to deceive themselves.
...
...
Anyway, Chu Zehuai is so capable, he should always be able to stand in front of everyone.
As a result, when encircling and suppressing the S-level pollutant Millipede Sea Anemone, Chu Zehuai's ability suddenly went out of control, and the S-level pollutant died on the spot. The golden fire burned in the East Continent waters for a whole month, and many executives of the Four Continents Alliance were seriously injured.
Later, considering that the overall strength of the pollutants had declined and the remaining pollutants were not to be feared, the Four Continents Alliance voted to let Chu Zehuai go back.
As a result, within a year after returning, pollution suddenly worsened, and the original A-level pollutants were upgraded to S-level, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides changed instantly.
Thinking of these things in the past, Shen An repeated it again: "When I voted, I was trapped in the Infinite Gallery..."
"Don't say that. I don't really want to recall this."
Chu Zehuai sat on the chair and suddenly felt a little tired.
"If the alliance needs me, I..."
"Don't go!"
Chu Yunrou put her hands on her hips and stared at her nephew, her eyes slightly red.
"When my brother and sister-in-law passed away, the last text they sent me was asking me to take good care of you. I have failed in my duty for ten years. If I had known this would be the outcome, I would never have let you go!"
Shen An also turned his head and looked at his former friend and colleague with sincerity: "I remember you once told me that you hoped that no child in the world would experience the pain you suffered at that time. Have you changed your mind now?"
"Chen An, stop blackmailing my nephew!"
"Director Chu, you should know him better than me. If he has the ability but doesn't take action, he will be more miserable."
Chu Zehuai felt a headache listening to the two people quarreling.
“Where I want to go is my own business.”
He ignored the two people who were still arguing, took a deep breath, stood up and left.
He needs a quiet environment and enough time to think about it.
"The position of the Dongzhou regional executive officer—"
Chen An gave up arguing with Chu Yunrou, ran over in small steps, tried to put his hand on the other's shoulder, and played the emotional card of his former colleague again.
But before he could reach out his hand, a dark shadow suddenly stumbled into the open office door and fell directly on him.
It was so big and pitch black that he was so scared that all six of his eyes except the two on his forehead opened at the same time.
When Lin Mo, who was in the dark, suddenly saw six eyes, he was frightened and screamed.
What the fuck is this?
On the other side, Bai Yu, who also staggered, looked at the place where his hands were supporting himself, slowly raised his head, and gave an awkward yet polite smile to Chu Zehuai's golden-orange eyes.
"Um...Captain Chu, good evening."
He stood firm, withdrew his hand that was supporting the other person's chest, and showed a well-behaved expression, as natural as if the embarrassing scene just now did not exist.
Chu Zehuai stared at the other person for a while, then he let go of his hand that was holding the other person's waist reflexively, and lowered his eyes: "Well, good evening."
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Bai Yu didn't know what to say. He just looked down at his hands in a daze.
This feels... pretty good.
He was thinking about all sorts of things until his attention was drawn to a scream next to him.
"Mom, help me!"
Lin Mo was so frightened that his wings flew out, and his feathers exploded, and he rushed into Director Chu's arms like a small cannonball.
"So it's Xiao Mo. I held you in my arms when you were little."
Shen An got up from the ground. He was not angry. He just rubbed his waist and closed the six extra eyes on his cheeks.
Although he is also an S-level awakener, what he awakened is the spiritual ability, which is usually prediction and detection, so his physical fitness may not be as strong as Lin Mo's.
"Um....I'm sorry."
Lin Mo saw clearly the person he had bumped into and climbed down from his mother angrily.
Shen An shook his head to indicate that it was okay, then turned his attention back to Chu Zehuai and continued what he had not finished saying:
"I was a little rude for saying so much extra today."
"The position of Dongzhou Regional Executive Officer will always be reserved for you."

When the pollution situation was made public, it indeed caused an uproar in society.
"Last time I saw a strange black shadow eating people in the building opposite, but the official said it was just an illusion. Now it seems that it is really a monster."
"Help! I noticed that my boyfriend has been acting strangely lately. He often makes gasping sounds in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Is he contaminated?"
"My grandfather's sister's daughter's husband's brother was arrested because of abnormal numerical values. He borrowed tens of thousands from me and hasn't paid it back yet."
"Does anyone know where the pollution level is lower? I don't plan to settle down in the big city. I want to go back to my hometown and live in seclusion in the mountains!"
"Didn't you read the report? Every place is dangerous now. It's better to stay in Qinghe City. At least it's one of the largest cities in Dongzhou. The government won't give up. Besides, it's probably even more dangerous in the forest. Who knows what might pop up."
"The above, are you saying that the government is likely to abandon those small cities? Then I will persuade my whole family to move to Qinghe."
"I didn't say that. I just think Qinghe City is safer. Although there were indeed pollutants and deformed people, they were quickly resolved. I felt relieved after watching the official video. The little brother is so handsome! I have already searched for his contact information on the official website."
"Fuck, it's already this time, and you're still thinking about this?"
The Internet was in chaos, with almost everyone discussing the pollution incident.
The reality is also in chaos, but thanks to the efforts of the investigation bureau staff who are busy to the point of baldness, social order is gradually stabilizing.
A street in Hebai District.
Whoosh——
The sword flashed, and a man with a frog head fell down. The splattered blood fell on the word Dingguang on the hilt, carrying a sense of solemnity.
A young man ran over and confirmed that the frog mutant was dead. He smiled reassuringly at the terrified mother and son standing nearby: "Don't be afraid, he's already dead. Buy some more food and store it at home. Try not to go out as much as possible recently."
He is good-looking, with a gentle temperament and a pure smile. His slightly long hair is combed behind his ears. He is friendly and sunny, and his appearance makes people let down their guard and feel at ease.
The frightened mother and son calmed down a little. The mother covered her son's eyes, whispered a thank you to Bai Yu, and hurried away with her son in her arms.
Behind him, Chu Zehuai had already retracted his sword, and blood was dripping down the blade, forming a small path of blood drops.
"Aren't you going to wipe it off?"
Bai Yu skillfully found the identification card from the frog mutant's body, and then put the body into a bag nearby.
"Anyway, there will definitely be more in a while."
Chu Zehuai shook off the blood on the sword and said indifferently.
In fact, there was no need for him to take action against these low-level pollutant deformers, but Chu Yunrou said that they must kill the deformers quickly, with sufficient momentum, and with a firm and decisive attitude.
We need to give the people of Qinghe City a feeling that "pollutants are not a big threat and can be easily eliminated, and the Investigation Bureau can easily solve them", and let them know that official people will always be on guard against them.
Only in this way can the emotions of the majority of the people be calmed and the somewhat chaotic society be stabilized again.
Fear spreads faster than pollution.
Once fear spreads widely, the collapse of social order is inevitable.
So before being transferred to Linhai City, Chu Zehuai's mission was to eliminate the pollutants that appeared in public as soon as possible, and then... shoot some promotional videos by the way.
In this Internet age, instead of letting the media spread unrealistic content, it is better to let the officials themselves promote it.
"It's OK. I feel like the scene just now doesn't even need editing. It can be put directly on the billboard."
A guy in a baseball cap ran over with a camera, looking very satisfied.
Chu Zehuai's decisiveness and absolute strength can reassure many people, while Bai Yu's gentleness and calmness can increase ordinary people's favorability towards the authorities, perfectly meeting the external publicity needs of their investigation bureau.
"Thank you. You've worked hard."
Bai Yu put the bag containing the body on the car and smiled at the guy in the baseball cap.
As expected of an awakener on the plant side, she really feels gentle and beautiful.
The guy in the baseball cap thought about it, and then saw the other person's smile widen a little bit.
Oops...Oops, I accidentally said what was in my heart.
Perhaps seeing the young man's embarrassment, Bai Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I feel the same way. After awakening, my personality has become much gentler and softer."
The system that was listening simultaneously couldn't help but widen its eyes.
Bai Yu, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Those guys you ate alive are crying in the storm!
