"Rubbish!"

With an angry shout, a stack of reports was smashed into Mu Jianyun, and among the scattered pieces of paper, Mu Jianyun stood there calmly, the expression on his face did not move at all.

"The Undead...... The legendary immortal tribe, do you know what kind of value their flesh and blood have?!ah?!" A middle-aged man slapped the table and roared at Mu Jianyun.

"I know ......" Mu Jianyun raised his head, looked at his angry father, and spit out two words with an expressionless face.

"You know, you didn't even bring back a drop of their blood, and you're embarrassed to say 'you know'?" the middle-aged man pointed to the spilled report, his face angry. "Look at what your report says?' 'The tomb collapsed, the bodies of the undead tribes were burned, and all the ruins in the mountain disappeared?' What the hell did you do in there?, why can't you even get out the corpses of the undead?!"

"The corpses of those undead have been transformed into man-eating monsters, and the consequences are unimaginable if they are released, and I didn't find out until later that those monsters were actually undead people......

"Excuse!!" the middle-aged man rudely interrupted Mu Jianyun's words. "Do you know that once our Mu family has mastered the secret of the body of the immortal clan, then it is not only the revival family, but even Lu Jingyi's position has to be given up to me! You wasted such a good opportunity in vain, it is simply disappointing to me!"

"......" Mu Jianyun opened his mouth slightly, raised his eyes to look at his father's face distorted by ambition, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into silence.

"Hmph...... Anyway, it's come to this point, and the corpses of those undead are all destroyed, at least no one can get them. Seeing that Mu Jianyun seemed to be soft, the middle-aged man's anger finally calmed down a little. "Speaking of which, you and Qing Yu went to meet the acting leader of the Demon God Mansion this time, LinkedIn, how is the situation?"

"I didn't see it, Yingzhao happened to go out to run errands, not in Huaijiangshan. Mu Jianyun said. "According to the mountain god of Huaijiang, Yingzhao has been away for a while, and as for his whereabouts, the mountain god does not know. ”

"Hmph, I can guess that he went to mediate the factional struggle within the 'Demon God Mansion', and as soon as the phoenix is gone, those monsters can't be suppressed...... It's okay, let them fight among themselves, it's best to lose both, it's not a bad thing for us. The middle-aged man leaned back in his seat and said coldly. "Regarding the fact that I didn't find the Ying Zhao, what is Lu Jingyi's attitude over there?"

"The whereabouts of Ying Zhao are unknown, and Leader Lu is also very helpless, this time the soul suppression stone has reappeared in the world, and we can only rely on our side to check it for the time being. However, this trip to Yuanqiu Mountain accidentally caught the clue of the Soul Stone......" Mu Jianyun paused and said.

"According to the investigation, it seems that there is a mysterious person who used the Soul Stone to control the mountain people a few years ago, constantly transporting out the undead in the tomb and destroying the 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array', and almost released the corpse demons under it. And if you can find out the mysterious person back then, you may be able to find out the clues of the soul stone. ”

"Jiang Yao...... It's the man with the 'colorless attribute' physique, right?" the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly. "I asked you to test him to join us, but what was the result?"

"He ......" Mu Jianyun hesitated and looked away. "This time the situation is more critical, and I haven't had time to test it yet...... But...... His current cultivation level is not enough to control the 'Fierce Beast Power' in his body, so I think it's better to observe it for a while......"

"Hehe, if he could use the 'power of the beast' well, I'm afraid Lu Jingyi would have included him in his command by any means. The middle-aged man sneered. "What I want to know is, did you find anything unusual when you came into contact with him this time?"

"......" Mu Jianyun was slightly stunned, and the abnormal appearance of Jiang Yao in the cave suddenly appeared in his mind, but at the same time, he remembered his father's cold warning, and his heart gradually tightened.

"No ......"

After a moment of silence, Mu Jianyun raised his eyes, met his father's emotionless gaze, and said calmly.

"Nothing out of the ordinary. ”

……

"Click......

With the sound of the door opening and closing, Mu Jianyun walked out of the office slightly tired, turned around and stepped into the corridor, but after a few steps, he saw Qing Yu running over in a hurry, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you alright?" uncle, he ...... I didn't scold you, did I?" Qing Yu said cautiously as he glanced at the office door in the distance.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Mu Jianyun shook his head and said softly. "By the way, why are you here?

"Hmm...... It's almost there, the villagers' aftermath has been taken over by the logistics force of the headquarters, and some rumors have been quickly dispelled, so there must be no worries; ”

Qing Yu said, bowing his head slightly. "By the way, there's ...... The two brothers, Zhou Wentao and Zhou Wenhai, also woke up and seemed to be recovering well. ”

Zhou Wentao...... I didn't expect that such a serious injury would really survive......" Mu Jianyun muttered to himself, he remembered the brown-skinned and black-haired strange man he had glimpsed dimly when he woke up from a coma for a short time, and the scene where the other party and Jiang Yao cut their hands together and dripped blood into Zhou Wentao's mouth. Although he wasn't entirely sure what he saw at the time, now that Zhou Wentao was able to recover in such a short period of time, he had to think about it.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Mu Jianyun's distracted appearance, Qing Yu asked in a low voice.

“…… No, nothing. ”

Mu Jianyun came back to his senses and looked up at Qing Yu, but found that the other party's eyes seemed to be a little tangled, and then he understood Qing Yu's careful thoughts, and couldn't help sighing.

"Since Zhou Wentao has woken up, then our 'memory erasure' of him will start soon, and you should have been mentally prepared for this. Mu Jianyun looked at Qing Yu's expression and said.

"I know, I know ......" Qing Yu lowered his eyes and clenched his fists slightly. "I was the one who explained to him what the world was made of, so this time I ...... I'll ...... it myself."

Qing Yu bit her lip and didn't continue.

"Hey, this incident is not what he should have experienced as an ordinary person, and the acquaintance with us is also a mistake, you ...... Let's forget about him. Mu Jianyun sighed and gently patted Qing Yu's shoulder.

"In this sense, we are all apostles of the 'Dark Realm' who cannot see the light, and if ordinary people get involved in our world, they will say goodbye to a peaceful life, which is not a good thing for him...... Jiang Yao's kid is the best example. ”

Mu Jianyun muttered, turning his head to look at the cloudy sky outside the window.

"'Colorless properties'...... From the moment he was discovered, he has been inseparable from our world, and I am afraid that he will be waiting for him next...... It will be a stormy storm. ”

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

"Whoa...... Whoa......

The crisp sound of chains echoed above the dark and quiet hall, and under the gaze of the fierce stone statues on both sides, two figures, one black and one white, quietly loomed from the darkness, and slowly walked towards the throne at the end of the hall.

"Subordinate Xie Bi'an. ”

"Subordinate Fan is helpless. ”

"See Hades!"

Black and white impermanence saluted respectfully, looking up at the figure sitting on the throne, only to see a girl in gorgeous clothes bowing her head, engrossed in staring at the crystal ball suspended in her hand, the faint green blue light emitted by the crystal ball reflected the demon mask on the girl's face, adding a bit of strange color to it.

"His 'fate' in the 'Book of Life and Death' ......has changed again," the girl muttered, looking away from the crystal ball and looking up at the black and white impermanence that looked down at her. "And, I heard he just made a big fuss in the realm?"

"Yes, that 'living dead' surnamed Jiang not only destroyed the 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' that suppressed the corpse demons in Yuanqiu Mountain, but even the Netherworld was affected by the spatial shock. Black Impermanence said. "Fortunately, this time the corpse demon has been stopped before leaving the mountain, and the spreading miasma has also been controlled, otherwise, I am afraid that more creatures whose original life span will be tragically destroyed, and the 'Book of Life and Death' will also be in chaos. ”

"For thousands of years, there have been almost no problems with the operation of the 'Book of Life and Death', but recently there have been frequent anomalies, which is really abnormal. A deep voice sounded, and this time it was Bai Wuchang who spoke. "And the beginning of this series of changes is since the man surnamed Jiang was tampered with in the 'Book of Life and Death' ten years ago. The subordinates believe that at a time when there is no clue in the investigation of the mutation of the "Book of Life and Death", this person may be the only breakthrough at present. ”

"That's right...... And his 'life' has been changed more than once, which is really interesting. The girl looked at the crystal ball in her hand again, as if thoughtful.

"Damn, if it weren't for the 'that' in his body...... We've hooked his soul back a long time ago!" Hei Wuchang clenched the chains in his hands, looking unwilling. "Now that he is in this situation, we can't rush to hook his soul, so that he can get away with it until now, but if he continues to let it go like this, I don't know what kind of disaster it will cause again!"

"If you really want to see him, Hades, we have another way to bring him here. Bai Wuchang said, looking up at the girl on the throne, as if there was something in the words. "It's just...... May not be quite in line. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, just do what you want. The girl nodded slightly, obviously hearing the sound of Bai Impermanence, only to see her slowly stretch out her hand, and the crystal ball suspended in her palm also dissipated with a wave of her hand.

"Just show me what that man really looks like. ”

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

"Please note that this train will be the last train to the terminal, so please hurry up and get on the train, as the operation to the terminal will end soon......

Drip...... Drip...... Drip......

With the flashing of the subway signal, a figure hurried over, and finally stepped into the carriage just before the train closed.

"Whew...... Finally caught up with ......"

Jiang Yao gasped, raised his head and looked at the empty subway car, perhaps because of the late night, he couldn't even see half a figure on the last subway, but such a "box" treatment is not a bad thing for Jiang Yao, at least when he is alone, it is the best time to organize his thoughts.

Jiang Yao stepped forward, turned around and sat on the bench of the subway, and after a moment of relaxation, he immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket and clicked on a few of the photos.

This is a photograph taken from the inside of a notepad, with translations annotated next to it. I saw that the notepad in the photo seemed to have been burned by the flames, and the words on the inner pages were blurred, and only some Russian letters could be faintly recognized, and this notebook was the one that Jiang Yao found in the backpack in Old Man Huang's room.

After the incident in Yuanqiu Mountain, Lingyutai quickly blocked the scene and took over all the items left over from the incident, and Jiang Yao had been paying attention to the recovery of the two brothers Zhou Wentao, until the two brothers woke up, they remembered that they still had such a thing on their bodies, but unfortunately this notebook had already been destroyed after the catastrophe, and Jiang Yao could only barely guess the content of the account according to the remaining words.

"X/3rd, fine.

Someone hired us to open a tomb in the mountains of a neighboring country, and the price was not low, I really don't know what good things are hidden there......

……

"X/15, cloudy.

…… Hmph, don't you know that we sent a 'guide' on purpose? This customer is really suspicious...... But then again, the 'guide' who sent over felt so eerie that he didn't even have a face......

……

"X, XX, RAIN.

…… Hell, all the electronic devices are out of order, but fortunately the special compass on the 'guide' is still working, and I am going to enter the mountain to open the tomb in the afternoon, and I always feel a little stuffy in my chest, is it because I am not used to the water and soil? I knew that I would bring more vodka......

"Sure enough...... This notebook was left behind by the Russians who went into the mountains to rob the tombs. Jiang Yao read the text in the photo, his brows furrowed slightly.

According to the notepad, the group of Russians appears to be a group of mercenaries, and the mysterious person who is suspected of using the "Soul Stone" in the Yuanqiu Mountain incident is likely to be the "guide" assigned to them by the Russian mercenaries' employers.

In this way, if we can find out the employers of this group of Russians back then, then we can find the 'guide' and find out the clues of the 'Soul Stone'......?

Jiang Yao thought about it, and suddenly remembered the special compass that he got with the notepad. As in the case of the notepad, this compass has not yet had time to be handed in, he hurriedly took out the compass from his pocket, carefully checked, and saw that the shape of the compass is very simple, the palm-sized plate is gossip-shaped, the design is simple but very exquisite, but there is no trademark on it, it seems to be a customized non-circulating item, if this thing is really as the notepad said this thing is left by the 'guide', then maybe you can dig up some intelligence information about the identity of the guide from it.

"It seems that we have to hand these things over to Lingyutai as soon as possible, and let them check them......"

Jiang Yao lowered his head and muttered to himself, and was about to put away his phone, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong. He hurriedly raised his head and looked at the arrival sign of the subway, only to find that it was blank, and the speeding tunnels outside the left and right windows showed that the train was still moving.

What's going on...... The interval between this station seems to be a little too long, right?

Just when Jiang Yao was in doubt, the subway lights in front of him suddenly flickered strangely, and in the interlacing of light and darkness, Jiang Yao suddenly found that two familiar phantoms, one black and one white, appeared on both sides of him.

"You...... Who are you!?"

"Pop ——!"

……

The last train in the middle of the night slowly approached the platform, and a platform attendant yawned and walked onto the unmanned train with a horn, shouting like a routine:

"The terminal has arrived, the terminal has arrived, please get off the train......

No one responded to the empty carriage, and the attendant was about to flash after a round of investigation, but at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the corner of the carriage, and immediately stood still.

I saw a mobile phone lying quietly under the seat, but the owner of the mobile phone was nowhere to be found.
