The enforcement team always arrived late.
There were a total of ten people, led by a seventh-order awakened being.
He surveyed the surroundings and said, "Civilians, step back and do not interfere with the investigation!"
Upon seeing the enforcement team, the crowd felt intimidated and did not dare to talk back, retreating obediently to watch from afar.
They were all curious as to what the enforcement team was doing here now.
The captain of the enforcement team was named Xu Ying, an A-class talent, seventh-order awakened being. His combat power was not strong, but his talent ability was "Sudden Enlightenment," where he would gain insights and break through bottlenecks unknowingly whenever he reached one.
Furthermore, his cultivation techniques were like breaking through bamboo. It was a pity that it was only A-class, ultimately weaker than S-class. After reaching the seventh-order realm, "Sudden Enlightenment" became less effective. Otherwise, if it were S-class, with his talent ability, he would have been able to advance further.
"Master Yun, we have received a report that your disciple, Feng Lei, has been possessed by a demon. We suspect you are in league with the demon, and we need to perform a test on you. Do you have any objections?"
Xu Ying's tone was gentle and his attitude very polite, completely different from how he treated the onlookers.
The crowd had no complaints. If someone was stronger than you, it was natural for them to scold you. This was the basic quality that people of this era should possess.
Xu Ying was quite perplexed. Ever since the Director-General of the Enforcement Bureau was killed by the Sword God, the reputation of the entire Enforcement Bureau was ruined.
Moreover, the Cabinet began to conduct a thorough investigation within the Enforcement Bureau.
The Enforcement Bureau, a law enforcement department.
Its deep-rooted network of connections, behind-the-scenes dirty dealings, internal personnel abusing power, etc., were countless.
A department that had existed for three hundred years was not something the Cabinet could change overnight. They originally thought that they could resist together and make the Cabinet abandon the idea of reform, but they did not expect the Cabinet to be resolute in its reform.
As a result, a large number of Enforcement Bureau officials stepped down, some were imprisoned, some were beheaded, and the entire Enforcement Bureau became extremely tense.
Several months had passed since then, and the Enforcement Bureau had still not recovered.
However, what made him sigh was that he used to be a marginal figure in the Enforcement Bureau. He even wanted to participate in the dirty dealings of those in power, but he was not qualified. They saw his background and lost interest in involving him.
Now, however, it had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
He had committed no crimes and was clean.
The reorganized Enforcement Bureau quickly sent him an invitation to be the captain.
If it were just an ordinary captain, he would not have been so happy.
However, the area his team was stationed to guard was the southeast base of Guixu, and he was the commander.
Such an important responsibility, making him a captain, was indeed a significant promotion.
These past few days, he had been in a good mood and had become a bit snobbish.
However, he still maintained a humble attitude when facing people of higher status.
Master Yun nodded in a daze.
"Do whatever you need to do now. I have no objections."
Hearing his weak voice, everyone was infected by it and felt a sense of pity for him.
Master Yun had no wife or children. He took in three children as disciples, and then, as the children grew up, they all died one by one.
This was indeed a cause for sighing and regret.
Even Zhou Yang felt sorry for him.
"Then I shall offend you!" Xu Ying took out an ancient bronze mirror and cast a spell.
"Bright Mirror, shine forth, evil spirits, reveal yourselves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bronze mirror shot a golden light onto Master Yun.
After waiting for a moment, Master Yun showed no reaction.
Seeing this, Xu Ying put away the bronze mirror and cupped his hands, saying, "Master Yun, I hope you will not be offended. After being illuminated by the bronze mirror, you have not been possessed by a demon!"
Master Yun nodded and said, "Can you leave now?"
Xu Ying waved his hand and said, "Go, retreat!"
Watching the retreating figures of the enforcement team, the crowd started to chatter.
"Barking dogs riding on the power of others, snobbish!"
"I advise you to mind your own business. They are like this, and their current attitude is already much better."
"I'm telling you, their attitude used to be even worse."
"Alright, alright, stop discussing this, everyone disperse."
Seeing that Lin Fan had also retreated, the crowd dispersed.
The small wooden house.
Lin Yu and Bai Xiaosa were playing chess together.
Lin Yu frowned, and the chess piece in his hand could not be placed for a long time.
Bai Xiaosa smiled and said, "Brother Lin, it's meaningless for you to struggle further, because your defeat is already decided."
This was the third game he had played with Lin Yu, and he had won all three.
He thought to himself, "So my chess skills are that good. When I return to the academy, I'll play a game with my tutor and see how good my chess skills are."
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the door. Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He pretended to sigh and said, "It's a pity that Lin Fan and the others are back. Otherwise, if you give me some more time, the outcome would still be unknown. Oh well, I won't play anymore."
Saying that, he put the chess piece back, then overturned the chessboard.
Bai Xiaosa was stunned for a moment. By the time he reacted, Lin Yu had already walked out of the room.
He quickly followed.
The first thing he saw when he looked up was the beautiful sunset.
The boundless orange sunset fell on the ground, stretching out shadows.
Lin Fan's face was filled with joy, and he said, "Brother, I'm back!"
Lin Yu shook his head and smiled, "It's good that you're back!"
Bai Xiaosa also said, "You were too dangerous this time. Fortunately, you're alright."
"Brother Bai, don't worry, I'm not someone who dies so easily. Oh, I'm hungry, so hungry," Lin Fan complained.
Lin Yu moved his mind, placed his identity card in the hands of a clone, and ordered the clone to buy food.
"Alright, please wait a moment," Lin Yu said.
Lin Yu had other clones spread out around the area, then the three of them returned to the wooden house, sat down, and chatted.
Soon, the food arrived. It was very rich, and the three of them ate with great enjoyment.
After eating their fill, Bai Xiaosa left first.
Only Lin Yu and Lin Fan remained in the room.
Lin Fan whispered, "Main body, it was the system that saved me, right?"
He recalled that at the critical moment, he had suddenly lost control of his body, and he began to suspect that the system had saved him.
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Yes!"
"What happened?"
"I consumed one million upgrade points to temporarily increase your strength. However, because the strength was too great, your soul could not bear it and was protected. The consciousness that saved you was actually a program."
He remembered the system's prompt sound at that time: 'Ding, detected that the host's external avatar is in mortal danger. Do you wish to consume one million upgrade points for remote rescue?'
Lin Yu agreed without hesitation. One million upgrade points was not a lot nor too little for him at the moment; he could afford it.
Lin Fan heard this and laughed, "That's good. I was really scared. I didn't expect demons to be so difficult to deal with."
"I used to only hear that demons were spiritual beings, but I didn't expect this kind of creature to be immune to physical damage. This is too outrageous."
"By the way, main body, this is the talent crystal dropped by that demon. You should be able to use it."
