"What!?"

The man turned around in horror and reflexively waved his arms to look behind him, only to see a broken wall, and where there was still a woman.

"I ...... Uh-huh......!!"

The man clutched his head, and the shadow activated by the previous illusion began to spread in his mind.

[Hehe...... Yes, I'm already dead, I was killed by you, Yang Blame!]

The woman's sneer lingered in the depths of her mind, even if she was not in a fantasy world at this time, the nightmarish figure of the woman was haunted like a ghost, which made the man's amber eyes appear dilated for a moment.

"No, it's not my fault...... It's all you...... It's all because you betrayed me!!"

The man roared and staggered to his knees, as if trying to expel the "ghost" from his head.

[Now you are not a ghost or a ghost, there is no place for you in this world for a long time!]

"Shut up!!"

[You're like a walking corpse and you're a dog...... All this is your retribution!]

"Retribution? hehehe...... What is retribution? I am to blame for doing things...... I've never regretted that!"

After being pushed to the extreme, the man calmed down instead. I saw him stand up with a sneer, and the residual trance in his eyes was gradually replaced by a cruel and fierce light.

"You were mine when you were alive, and even if you die, you still can't escape from the palm of my hand! I want you to regret your choice forever!!"

"Whoa...... Woohoo ......

With the vibrating sound of the mobile phone that suddenly rang, the woman's sneer vanished. The man slowly raised his head, his amber eyes moved to the blood-stained mobile phone on the sink, and he saw the words "unknown call" scrolling on the mobile phone screen.

The man stared at the screen of his phone and snorted softly. There is no doubt that there is only one "man" who will call this mobile phone, but at this moment he did not mean to pick up the phone, but reached into his arms and took out the test-tube portable refrigerator.

"Sure enough......" The man looked at the inside of the empty refrigerator, his face expressionless.

Since he had been hit by the illusion of the Nine Teeth at that time, the glass bottle containing Zhou Wentao's blood must have been taken away by the Nine Teeth, and even the process of collecting blood in the first place was part of the illusion, and he couldn't be sure if the tube of blood was really taken from Zhou Wentao at that time. But...... None of this matters anymore.

"Nine-Tailed Fox Fairy...... Hmph, even if you can save him for a while, you can't save him for a lifetime!"

The man put away the cooler, turned around and picked up the vibrating phone, pressed the hang up button without looking, and then moved his gaze to the bloodstained face in the mirror.

"Now that they have seen it, this face can no longer be used......"

The man muttered in a low voice, and suddenly stretched out two bloody hands, which slashed at his face.

"Let's ...... it"

The sound of flesh sticking was accompanied by the removal of flesh and blood was thrown into the sink, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a three-inch snake scurrying around and disappeared. The man raised his head again, looked at the new, unfamiliar "face" reflected in the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Boom......!"

A falling beer can suddenly broke the silent air, and the man turned his head to find a shivering, frightened-faced drunk standing in the doorway, apparently having drunk too much to break into the abandoned restroom.

"I ...... I'm ...... What am I...... Didn't see anything......!"

The drunk man looked at the bloodstained sink, and then at the man who was slowly walking towards him, his legs trembled violently uncontrollably, but he couldn't move a bit, he could only watch the man sneer and raise his hand at him, and a strange light lit up in his amber pupils.

"No, you saw it. ”

It was the last thing the drunk man heard before he lost consciousness.

---------------------------------

[Sorry, the user you dialed is busy, please wait to dial ......]

"......" Mu Xunzhi looked at the unconnected number on the mobile phone screen, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed between his eyebrows.

He doesn't like to be rejected, especially by his "dog", even if he refuses to answer the phone.

But he also knew the man's temperament very well, and the man had no reason to refuse Mu Xunzhi, who gave him the last bite of food in the world, even if he was reluctant in his heart. It's just that now this man who was originally subservient to him actually hung up on him, this abnormal performance is unprecedented, which makes Mu Xunzhi can't help but have some ominous premonition in his heart.

Could it be ...... What happened? What did he do......

Mu Xunzhi thought to himself, and at this time, a modest and calm voice suddenly sounded from behind him:

"Hehe, isn't this Minister Mu? It's rare to meet you in Penglai. ”

Mu Xunzhi came back to his senses, and a trace of hesitation in his eyes was instantly covered by indifference. He put away his phone and turned to look at the figure of the weak purple-haired man who appeared at the entrance of the corridor, his usual lukewarm expression on his face.

"It turned out to be Minister Zimo. I heard you've been feeling unwell lately, are you okay?"

Mu Xunzhi smiled, although he and Zimo had a dispute over Zhou Wentao's affairs, but to be a leader of their level, even if they had a complaint, they still had to do superficial work.

"Well, it's still like this, as soon as the weather changes, I am prone to asthma...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ......" As he spoke, Zimo lowered his head again to cover his mouth and coughed, looking like he was about to fall down at any time, so frightened that the young member who was following him hurriedly stepped forward to support Zimo and stretched out his hand to help him calm down.

"Ministry, minister, are you alright?"

"Ahem...... No, don't worry about it...... Ahem...... Don't worry, Don Jr. Zimo waved his hand at the member called "Little Tang", signaling that the other party didn't need to be too nervous.

"Since Minister Zimo is in poor health, he should stay in your [Dazai Department] to recuperate, why did he come to Penglai to do things in person. ”

Mu Xunzhi glanced at Zimo's sick look, although he said polite words, but in his heart he was thinking about the reason why Zimo came to Penglai headquarters in person.

It has been less than twenty-four hours since Zhou Wentao lost contact, although the previous temporary council temporarily handed over the leadership of the search to the [Military Aircraft Department] led by Mu Xunzhi, but Zhou Wentao still nominally belongs to the [Dazai Department] after all.

"Hehe, thank you Minister Mu for your concern, it's not a big deal. Zimo looked at Mu Xunzhi with a smile, as if she had guessed what Mu Xunzhi was thinking at this time, and then added:

"This time Zhou Wentao lost contact under our noses, and our [Dazai Department] also has a certain responsibility, and I, the minister, must come to the headquarters in person to take the blame. ”

"Minister Zimo, please rest assured, our [Military Aircraft Department] is no better than other departments, but we are experienced in search and investigation, and only one Zhou Wentao is not a problem at all. Mu Xunzhi said with a smile, although this sound like a ticket on the surface, but he has already despised all the abilities of other departments.

"Hehe, the strength of the [Military Aircraft Department] Zimo naturally doesn't dare to doubt it, this time it is really an honor for Zimo to have Minister Mu to help make up for the loss. Zimo smiled gently, and didn't seem to care that his [Dazaibu] was also among the "other departments" that were despised by the other party.

"Speaking of which, since Minister Mu and you came to Penglai in person, could it be that there are clues to Zhou Wentao's whereabouts?"

"That's nature. Mu Xunzhi replied nonchalantly, but he didn't mean to elaborate. "I came to the headquarters this time, firstly, to report the progress to the head of Lu, and secondly, to borrow the troops stationed at the headquarters that I had promised before. I believe that as soon as the manpower is in place, Zhou Wentao will definitely be caught, you just need to wait for the good news, Minister Zimo. ”

With Minister Mu's words, Zimo was relieved. Zimo politely complimented, and suddenly changed his words, adding intentionally or unintentionally:

"In other words, if you can find Zhou Wentao's whereabouts in such a short time this time, presumably Minister Mu's son, Mu Jianyun, has also made a lot of efforts, right?"

Zimo looked at Mu Xunzhi's suddenly cold face and continued to smile.

"I have long heard that Ling Gongzi is extremely intelligent, and he is also the future heir of the [Military Aircraft Department], if he can make a contribution to this operation to find Zhou Wentao, then it must be in the hearts of the elders, it will also add a lot of points, right?"

“…… The dog has other tasks on his body and does not have time to get involved in this matter. It's not too early, Mu still has something to do, so he will leave first. ”

Mu Xunzhi threw a sentence coldly, and then stopped talking nonsense with Zimo, turned around after nodding slightly, and left the corridor without looking back.

"Minister Purple, Purple Mo, you just ...... Why do you deliberately provoke Minister Mu? You also know Minister Mu's temper, that is a matter of retribution, and now you will offend him again......

Xiao Tang, who was beside Zimo, looked at Mu Xunzhi's angry back tremblingly, and sighed helplessly.

"I heard that the relationship between Minister Mu and his son-in-law does not seem to be very good, and the matter of the next heir of the [Military Aircraft Department] is also controversial among the elders of the [Military Aircraft Department], thinking that Mu Jianyun's qualifications are too shallow, which is also a problem for Minister Mu. You didn't see that when you said those words just now, Minister Mu's face turned blue......"

"Hehe, I'm afraid his heart is not the verbosity of those elders, but the relationship between his son and Lu Jingyi is closer than himself, right?"

Zimo's face still had that light smile, and he couldn't see any emotions implied in it.

"But judging by his reaction just now, presumably Mu Jianyun is not in the [Military Aircraft Department] at this time, otherwise Mu Xunzhi would not let go of this opportunity to make his son make meritorious contributions. And the only one who can make Mu Jianyun let him perform other tasks is estimated to be Lu Jingyi. ”

"Actually...... I haven't always understood that it stands to reason that my son can get the weight of the leader of the 'Spirit Imperial Stage', which is something that many people can't ask for!But why is Minister Mu so disgusted by this?" Xiao Tang scratched his head, his face full of puzzlement.

"Well...... Hehe, it probably reminded him of 'some unpleasant memories', and he was afraid of repeating 'some mistakes'......" Zimo glanced at the direction of Mu Xunzhi's departure, and said something meaningful, and then retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Tang beside him again.

"By the way, you should bring the cause report of Zhou Wentao's incident this time, right?"

"Well, I've already brought it with the review. Xiao Tang looked at the thick pile of documents in his hand, and a deep apology appeared on his face. "I'm sorry, minister, it was because of my unfavorable monitoring that I let Zhou Wentao run away, and I also caused you to come to the headquarters to apologize......

"It's already happening, so stop blaming yourself. When Zhou Wentao is recovered, we still have to find a way to help him get back the reason for escaping from the surveillance, after all, if there is a 'defector' in the ministry, it will also affect the reputation of our ministry." Zimo shook his head and sighed.

"I have to go to Leader Lu next, and you will send the report and review to the Penglai Affairs Bureau, Xiao Tang. ”

"Okay, okay, please rest assured!" Xiao Tang nodded vigorously, and after a respectful salute, he hurried away.

"Did you send Mu Jianyun to 'do things' at this time of the Qingming Festival......? Hehe, you can guess where it went......

In the empty corridor, Zimo turned around and slowly walked to the window, looking up at the two huge yin and yang stars in the Penglai sky outside the window, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Both you and I are playing a dangerous game of chess. It's just that this move, are you really playing the right move...... Leader of the Land. ”
