The next day, at 9:17 a.m., the magic capital, the headquarters building of the Chinese Wizards Federation.

On the 29th floor, the entire floor is the office area of the [Detective Division].

In the office of Zhang Yue, director of the Department of Arrest and Order, there was a slight sound of paper being blown up by the wind, and countless 'pieces of paper' were put together into a human shape.

The paper man half-squatted on the sofa on Zhang Yue's side, "Master." ”

"Well, hard work. Have a seat. Zhang Yue looked directly at the large electronic screen directly in front of him and pointed to the sofa in his left hand.

The paper man stood up, the paper clips on his body gradually disappeared, and when he sat on the sofa, he already looked like a normal man.

"Master, [Shen Yin] was suddenly killed, Mu He only found some insignificant information. ”

"Tell me about it. Zhang Yue said without any emotion, and the constantly changing colors in a pair of eyes that were different from ordinary people quickly dissipated.

"Lord Shenyin's father is the previous generation of [Secret Spell Sect], and according to several Secret Witch Spell Masters, the old man lived in seclusion during his lifetime, and had little contact with the outside world. Fifty years ago, he was invited to serve as the dean of Kyoto Gakuin, and he followed suit.

More than 20 years ago, the elder immortal died, and Shen Yin took over as the dean. It is said that in addition to the appearance of the nine ceremonies to preside over the work, the rest of the daily affairs of the academy are handled by the incumbent vice president.

But at the end of last year, Lord Kamikure uncharacteristically took the initiative to contact several heads of the [Wanwu Academy] and submitted an application to promote the younger sister of the chief general to the head of the advanced department of Kyoto Academy.

After Lord Shenyin was stabbed to death the day before yesterday, Xin Wuji, the head of the Left Palace of the [Wanwu Yuan], submitted Shenyin's [Spirit Letter] to the upper part, and it has now reached the hands of the [Second General] Guan Zhuo.

As for the contents of the [Spirit Letter], there is no way to find out. The general of the second general is densely covered with the Yuan class to suppress the totem, and Mu He is incompetent. ”

Zhang Yue put his left hand on the arm of the sofa, his fingers tapped regularly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems that this Lord Shenyin has already prepared for the 'Zen position'."

Mu He, even if there is no spell suppression totem in the [Second General] Mansion, you must not enter it easily, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

"Understood, master. But..."

"When did it become so spitting?"

"Master, Mu He's trip to Kyoto this time sensed the breath of my people. ”

Zhang Yue turned his head to look at Mu He, as if he was slightly surprised, "Oh, your Lich Clan has appeared in Kyoto, have you taken a picture of it?"

Mu He shook his head and replied with some regret: "Not yet." I just felt an extremely faint breath, and I couldn't find a trace. Perhaps, it is not known to the people who passed by Kyoto Academy. ”

"Your people live for hundreds of years, and you will always meet them. ”

Zhang Yue, who was in his forties, seemed to have a very good relationship with the lich master and servant, who seemed to be only in his twenties, and he said a word of comfort when the sounder on his desk sounded.

"Director, Captain Xiao has arrived. ”

Zhang Yue tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, and after two seconds of silence, he stood up.

Mu He's face turned pale, "Master, do you want to interrogate that female prisoner personally?"

Zhang Yue didn't answer Mu He's words, and only strode towards the office door.

"Master, let Mu He go on your behalf. If so..."

Zhang Yue raised his hand, and Mu He closed his mouth in amusement. When Zhang Yue walked out of the office, Mu He turned into countless pieces of paper and disappeared into invisibility in an instant.

Six military attendants on both sides of the door, together with a middle-aged woman in formal attire, followed the director Zhang Yue to an office on the far right on the 29th floor.

The exterior of this office looks like no other, but when you open the door, you can see another 'small world'.

This is a pocket space dedicated to interrogation by the [Detective Division], which is more than 200 meters long and wide. There are no furnishings, a blank space, and the edges of the space are also enchanted, with no distorted layers visible.

The sky was gray, no different from the slightly gray sky of the demon capital at this time.

Four thick black chains stretched out from the sky and the ground to wrap around a woman's limbs, stretching them in the middle of this empty space.

In front of the woman, there was a row of men and women wearing the uniforms of the Arrest Division, a total of 8 people, that is, Xiao Nanbei, Peng Dingfang, Xin Kexin and others.

Seeing Zhang Yue enter, the group bent down slightly to salute, "Director!"

Zhang Yue nodded, and walked straight towards the woman who was stretched like a bat specimen.

Xiao Nanbei on the side said with a gloomy face: "Director, female prisoner Duan Yi, 36 years old, a high-level first-grade fire wizard. Born in Suyue Province, he is a mixed race. He worked in the [Military Classics Division] Suyue Branch for five years and left two years ago. ”

Zhang Yue looked up slightly at the woman who was covered with hideous wounds all over her body, and said, "Why do you want to do this? Live well, isn't it?"

The woman opened her swollen eyes, which were almost unable to hold them open, stared at Zhang Yue for a while, and laughed.

"Presumptuous!" Patten roared angrily.

Xiao Nanbei immediately raised his hand to signal him to silence, and Xin Kexin on the side glanced at the rough man Peng Dingfang with a speechless face.

"Zhang Yue, long time no see!"

Everyone was amazed!

But no one dared to show it, only Peng Dingfang stared at a pair of bull's eyes, looking at the woman who was beaten into a pig's head by himself as if he had seen a ghost.

When Zhang Yue entered the interrogation space, he did not recognize Duan Yi, who was already unrecognizable at this time.

But after he listened to Xiao Nanbei's introduction, it became clear why the other party had to see him when he died. And he was willing to see this female prisoner because the name 'Duan Yi' was the same as his teacher's orphan daughter.

In my memory, it was a very gentle and quiet little girl.

It seems that it is really me.

People change, and so does anyone. As the director of the Department of Arrest, Zhang Yue has seen too many originally kind people become heinous criminals in his life.

He didn't feel embarrassed because the other party was an old friend.

He's always been a person with no extra emotions. Doubt, sympathy, pity, these emotions that tend to interfere with his correct judgment are unnecessary burdens for him.

Therefore, in his eyes, it doesn't matter whether the person in front of him is an old man or not. As long as she is an outlaw who is causing peace between ordinary people and the witch world, then there is only one result.

"Duan Yi, if you want to see this company, you must not just catch up with the past. ”

The woman laughed again, no longer with such a sad smile, but with great madness.

Everyone present lowered their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and wished that they had not appeared here.

The devil knows what the relationship between this woman and the director is!

The big-hearted Peng Dingfang turned his head directly to look at Xiao Nanbei, and an indescribable expression on his black face seemed to read, 'It's all a good thing you did, this girl won't have anything to do with the director'.

"Zhang Yue!" The crazy woman said in a cold voice: "I know your past, and I know the past that even you don't know." Hahaha..."

Zhang Yue furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and the woman said again: "Zhang Yue, do you want to know how my father and Zhang Lian died?

If you don't imagine that Zhang Lian died an unknown death, go to [Forbidden Sacrifice], and maybe, Z will save you. ”

"[Forbidden sacrifice]?" Zhang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, he had seen the name on a report.

The female prisoner Duan Yi's unformed face suddenly went crazy, "The hypocritical federation sits and enjoys the peace that others have exchanged for their lives.

Peace?haha... It's all an illusion, and for the sake of their peace, they will do whatever it takes to kill them all.

Zhang Yue, you are smart and strong, but you are a dog slave for these hypocritical people. Wait, you will be ashamed of who you were and who you are now.

Someday, you will feel what pain is.

Living in this world of hypocrisy, there is no one who does not suffer, and you are no exception.

All beings are suffering, but at least, I am sober. I know what has been bothering me for so many years. ”

Zhang Yue's slightly narrowed eyes were puzzled and a little surprised, he looked at Duan Yi, and before he could ask, Duan Yi laughed again.

"You'll know, but not now. Goodbye, Zhang, Yue, brother, brother. ”

'Boom', without any warning, the thick iron chain was blown away, and Duan Yi, who was originally stretched by the iron chain, was destroyed in the explosion.

At the same time, Xiao Nanbei and Peng Dingfang both stretched out their respective elemental energy shields at the first time, wanting to protect Director Zhang.

But faster than them were countless pieces of seemingly fragile blank paper that flew out of nowhere.

The chains flew and swept away, and all the officers present were trained to evade quickly, and none of them were hit.

Zhang Yue furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the blank space that had not even left flesh and blood, and there were many emotions in his heart that had been blocked by him for a long time.

"Director! ”

Xiao Nanbei put away his shield and immediately knelt on one knee, and Peng Dingfang, Xin Kexin and other members also half-squatted down, all bowing their heads and pleading guilty.

Zhang Yue waved his hand, "Get up." Xin Kexin. ”

"Yes, Director. After Xin Kexin was named, he got up and took a step forward, and reported: "There is a shadow powerhouse of the Yuan rank or above who has laid a forbidden barrier in the consciousness of the female prisoner Duan Yi, with the ability of his subordinates..."

Zhang Yue raised his right hand, and Xin Kexin immediately lowered his head and stopped saying half a word.

"Xiao Nanbei, the case of Kyoto Academy is entrusted to you. In addition, he thoroughly investigated Duan Yi's life and reported directly to me. ”

"Yes!"

After Zhang Yue turned around and left the interrogation space, Xiao Nanbei turned around and raised his left hand, and saw that the four thick iron chains seemed to be absorbed, submerged into the air flow in front of his palm.

The case of Kyoto College does not represent anything, but the director of the department entrusted him with the matter of the female prisoner Duan Yi, which is of extraordinary significance.

It is clear that this crazy woman has a strong connection to the director's past.

Xiao Nanbei took a deep breath and secretly clenched his fists.

………

Zhang Yue returned to the office and instructed the middle-aged woman in the suit: "Inform Jiang Key, the secretary of the [Bounty Division], and let her come over." ”

"Okay. The moment the woman walked out of the office and brought the door, Mu He appeared and stood beside the glass curtain wall behind the sofa without saying a word.

Zhang Yue sat on the sofa and held his forehead, closed his eyes, and recalled the past.

He is an orphan who doesn't know who his parents are, and he has a sister who is three years younger than him, Zhang Lian.

Memories before the age of six are blank. The first thing he remembers was with his sister in the orphanage.

It wasn't until he was eleven years old that he awakened his 'powers'.

A group of strangers came to the orphanage and took him and his sister away. From that day on, he knew that there were wizards in this world.

He and his sister were raised by the [Wanderer] institution under the Federation, which is equivalent to coming from an orphanage for ordinary people to an orphanage in the witch world.

As luck would have it, the [Arrest Division] would recruit two Divisions to the [Wanderer] agency every year, and he was chosen.

That year, at the age of seventeen, he met his master Duan Chao.

Duan Chao, Duan Yi's father, is an ordinary member of the Suyue Provincial Branch of the Arrest Division. He doesn't have much ability to handle cases, he is gentle and a good person, this is the impression that Duan Chao left on everyone.

Duan Chao is very good to Zhang Yue, Duan Yi is three years younger than Zhang Yue, and he has loved to circle around him since he was a child. He and his sister Zhang Lian have always had a good relationship with the Duan family's father and daughter.

Until, that accident.

"What the hell went wrong?" Zhang Yue muttered as he recalled.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mu He on the side had never seen him look so puzzled, and couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Yue shook his head. In his memory, it should have been the most painful day of his life. But at this time, when he recalled, he only remembered a few feelings and some sporadic fragments.

However, Zhang Yue's eyes are unforgettable and his pupil power is amazing. He could simultaneously observe the 100 real-time surveillance screens operating on the giant electronic screen.

Therefore, it must not be that he has forgotten the past.

He suspected that his memories had been tampered with, and had asked a Shadow Sequence Magician to review his memories.

After the enchanter entered his consciousness, he only found a layer of red mist, in which something seemed to be coiled, but he could not break through to see a thing inside.

This red mist is neither witchcraft nor spells, and even the enchanters don't know what they are.

Regarding that accident, Zhang Yue only remembered that Duan Chao took Duan Yi and Zhang Lian to the amusement park on vacation, and then Duan Yi was sent to the hospital for first aid, but Duan Chao and Zhang Lian never came back.

The reason was an explosion at the amusement park, which caused a fire. It is suspected that there is a fire traitor who has fought with Duan Chao, but since there are no bones, there is no way to investigate.

Afterwards, the concussion caused Duan Yi, who had lost that part of the painful memory, to get a pension and was taken up by her aunt to raise her.

After that, Zhang Yue was transferred to the magic capital.

In the first few years, he occasionally talked on the phone, but as Zhang Yue worked hard to solve the case, he became busier and busier, and gradually contacted Duan Yi less.

Until he became the youngest director of Huaguo, the life trajectory of the two was like two trains running in different directions, and there was no intersection.

The sounder sounded, "Director, Jiang Key has arrived." ”

Zhang Yue raised his head, Mu He was invisible, "Enter." ”

A rounded young woman in a dark red uniform opened the door and walked in, looking a little nervous.

"Sit. Zhang Yue pointed to the sofa.

The woman cleared her throat, hugged the tablet, and sat down crampedly.

"Zhang Si, you, are you looking for me?"

"You wrote a report about a new mercenary organization. As I recall, you analyzed the potential danger of this organization. Right?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded, "Yes, I wrote it." ”

"[Forbidden sacrifice], is that the name right?"

"Yes. Yes, Director Zhang, you..."

Zhang Yue raised his hand and said to the bounty priest named Jiang Key, "I want to know what credentials you have collected and the reason for your suspicions. ”

Jiang Jian blinked, and a fire burned in his heart.

She wanted to join the Arrest Division for many years, but she never got her wish because of the lack of rank.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived!

"Zhang Si, [forbidden sacrifice] first appeared in North America three years ago. It is a mercenary organization composed of high-level elites, and the leader code name is Z..."
