"Space shock?"

Lu Jingyi raised his head and looked at Yun Lan who was standing in front of his desk.

"Yes, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses, at about one o'clock in the middle of the night last night, there was an uncertain sign in the sky near the Ye family's mansion in the south of the city, and the monitoring department did detect signs of suspected spatial fluctuations during that time, which was the monitoring report at that time. Yun Lan said, handing a stack of reports to Lu Jingyi. "According to the report, it is suspected that there was a short-term abnormal shock in the 'space barrier' of the earth boundary, and the source of the shock seems to be ......"

"Netherworld ......" Lu Jingyi looked at the report in his hand, as if thoughtful. "That means that the 'ghost gate' was opened at that time?"

"Not really. Yun Lan shook his head and said. "According to the rules of the netherworld, the 'Ghost Gate' will only be opened for a short time on the Qingming Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival, so that people can worship their ancestors, and the opening of the 'Ghost Gate' must also be carried out under the protection of the magic of the God of Qingming and the God of Zhongyuan. This time, in terms of scale and scope, it is more like a man-made spatial tear, but the rift has already healed quickly, and we have not yet found out what the cause of this phenomenon is......"

"As the barrier of the Three Realms, the 'Space Enchantment' has always been stable, and generally speaking, unless there are big demons or gods, ordinary people or demons simply have no ability to cross the enchantment on their own, and this matter is probably not simple. ”

Lu Jingyi said, her eyes focused on a certain place in the report, and her brows furrowed slightly. "The Ye family in the south of the city...... I remember that the head of their family seemed to have passed away suddenly a while ago, and ......"

Lu Jingyi didn't continue, but stroked his chin, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he put down the report, raised his head and looked up at Yunlan again.

"You can continue to investigate this matter, and report to me as soon as there is any new information. ”

"Yes. ”

Yun Lan bowed respectfully, and was about to retreat, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, and opened his mouth again hesitantly: "By the way, leader, about Jiang Yao's whereabouts...... Don't have any news from your side yet?"

"Unfortunately, judging from the reports I have received so far, since he appeared on the last train on the subway in the middle of the night, Jiang Yao's kid has not been traced. Lu Jingyi pushed the monocle on his face and said. "I've sent someone to look for it, and it's still searching. ”

"I've been missing for more than 24 hours...... And according to the surveillance video at the scene, he never got off the last train, and just evaporated from the world......"

Yun Lan lowered his head and whispered, and after a moment of confusion, he looked up at Lu Jingyi again and said:

"Chief, I always have an ominous premonition, Jiang Yao must have something wrong, maybe it has something to do with the mastermind behind the scenes! Didn't we find Jiang Yao's mobile phone in the subway at that time? And the photos of the Russian notepad in the mobile phone show that Jiang Yao seems to have some clues about the 'Yuanqiu Mountain Incident' that we haven't noticed yet, maybe it is because of this that he was ...... by the person behind the scenes."

Yun Lan lowered his eyes lightly and did not continue.

"So, do you think Jiang Yao disappeared because of the mastermind behind the scenes?" Lu Jingyi looked at Yun Lan calmly and asked.

"I'm not sure either, but ...... The mastermind behind the scenes may not only hold the Soul Suppression Stone, but also be suspected of leading the "Death Game Incident" and the "Yuanqiu Mountain Incident", his ability should not be underestimated, maybe he used some method we don't know to capture Jiang Yao. Yunlan hesitated.

"What you said is also possible, but realistically speaking, even if Jiang Yao was temporarily transferred out of the subway by someone using the 'spatial transfer technique', it is impossible to move out of the entire city, not to mention that we have not found any traces of the 'spatial transfer technique' on the spot. Lu Jingyi calmly analyzed. "I understand that you care about him, and I will send more people to investigate, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

"......" Yunlan's thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally restrained himself, and after respectfully saluting, he took his leave and left the office.

"Are you still hiding it from her? You already know where Jiang Yao's kid went. ”

A man's voice sounded lazily from the door, and I saw a crimson phantom swaggering into the office, sitting on the sofa, and looking at Lu Jingyi behind the desk with Erlang's legs crossed.

"Hehe, I really want them to know that Jiang Yao was taken to the netherworld by black and white impermanence, I don't know how much commotion it will cause. Lu Jingyi smiled and said. "From the day the 'Death Mark' on Jiang Yao's body appeared, this day was sooner or later, and I couldn't be unprepared for it. ”

Lu Jingyi said, gesticulating slightly, only to see the figure of a woman in red quietly appear beside Lu Jingyi.

"Hongyuan, confirm the location of the 'Xuanwu Pearl' again. ”

"Yes, master. The woman in red nodded slightly, then closed her eyes, and her hands began to seal rapidly. A dark red glimmer gradually spread from her hand, and after a moment it faded away, and the woman seemed to sense something, and opened her eyes again.

"As you might expect, the basalt bead is still on the edge of the netherworld. Hongyuan said. "If the Xuanwu Bead is still on Jiang Yao's body, it means that he has not crossed the Lethe River and the Nai He Bridge and entered the real 'Netherworld', and as long as he does not cross the Lethe River, theoretically speaking, there is still a possibility of returning. ”

"Sure enough, last night's spatial turmoil disturbed the Netherworld, otherwise that kid wouldn't have been brought into the 'Netherworld' yet, in this regard, his luck is really good. Lu Jingyi said with a smile.

"Even if he hasn't been taken to Lethe for a while, he can't stay on the edge of the Netherworld forever. Gluttony put away the laziness on his face and said with a straight face. "This time, black and white impermanence changed the rule of only seducing souls, and brought his entire living person down to the netherworld, the situation is really abnormal, I am afraid that the longer it drags on, the more dangerous his situation will be. ”

"So, we need to get him back as soon as possible. Lu Jingyi leaned back in his chair and said with a smile as he stared at the glutton. "It's just that we ordinary people can't pass through the 'Space Enchantment' and enter the Netherworld on our own, but you can. ”

"Hmph, if things were that easy to solve, I wouldn't be sitting here talking nonsense with you right now. Gluttony glanced at Lu Jingyi dissatisfiedly, and seemed to have seen the intention of the old fox opposite. "Don't forget, even if I go down to the Netherworld, I won't be able to cross Lethe River and enter the 'Netherland', and even if I find that kid before he enters the real 'Netherland', he is an ordinary human being, and he can't cross the 'Spatial Enchantment' without the help of ghosts, so how can he return to the Underworld? ”

"There are no absolutes in the world, maybe you can temporarily break the 'Spatial Enchantment' and bring him out by some means, such as the 'Spatial Rift' that appeared last night. Lu Jingyi looked at Tao Tao's face that was obviously unhappy and smiled. "If you can find out the cause of last night's space turmoil, maybe Jiang Yao will have a chance to live. ”

"Hehe, speaking of which, it's to use me to investigate troublesome matters. Gluttony said coldly, his eyes were about to fly into the sky, but although he complained, he didn't directly refuse.

"By the way, there is one thing I have to remind you, regardless of Jiang Yao's situation in the Netherworld, just from the fact that he is missing, there is already a whisper on the side of the Spirit Imperial Council side. Lu Jingyi observed the gluttonous expression and suddenly spoke. "The brothers of the Zhou family seem to have been looking for Jiang Yao in the past two days, and if his disappearance causes an investigation by the Zhou family and even the police, it may cause some unnecessary trouble. In principle, all possible risks that may expose us need to be eliminated, and Jiang Yao has participated in too many actions of Lingyutai before, and if this continues, he is afraid that he will face the same situation as Xiao Yuan. ”

"What are you going to do but erase the existence of others at every turn. Gluttony snorted coldly and stood up.

"Don't worry, I have good news for you. Lu Jingyi said, took out a card and flew it to the glutton, who took it and found that it was an invitation to a thank-you reception.

"This was sent to Jiang Yao by the Zhou family, and the time of the cocktail party is tonight. Lu Jingyi looked at the gluttony with a smile and said. "In addition, this reception also happened to invite Ye Han, the current head of the Ye family in the south of the city, I think this is also an opportunity to get a closer look at the truth of last night's spatial shock, and maybe we can find a way to break the 'spatial barrier'. ”

"Looks like you've already made a plan, old fox......" Gluttony was dissatisfied, but still put the invitation in his pocket.

"Hehe, this reception is also an opportunity to dispel the Council's concerns, if ...... Jiang Yao, if he can appear in front of the Zhou family brothers. ”

Lu Jingyi looked at the gluttony, as if there was something to say.

"I think you should know how to do it. ”

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

That night, north of the city, Zhou's villa.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the bell struck the large and elaborate courtyard of the villa, and a pair of elegantly dressed VIPs entered under the guidance of their attendants, enjoying this private open-air reception, while in the center of the crowd was a tall middle-aged man in spirit, holding champagne glasses, chatting with the guests.

"Mr. Zhou's two sons can have no danger this time, it's really gratifying!" a guest smiled and clinked glasses with the tall middle-aged man.

"During the dog's illness, thanks to the great help of friends, I was able to save the day, and I am grateful to someone Zhou! Come, I salute you with this cup!" Father Zhou said, drank all the wine in the cup, and then seemed to remember something, turned to beckoned to the two young men not far away, and said:

"Wen Hai, Wen Tao, come, toast to uncles and uncles!"

"Ahh......h Okay, okay ......" Zhou Wentao was slightly stunned, lowered his head and pulled the suit and tie, not only was he dressed uprightly, but the whole atmosphere of the scene made him extremely uncomfortable, on the other hand, Zhou Wenhai next to him had always been peaceful and elegant, and he seemed to be at ease with this occasion.

"Hehe, Dad, Wen Tao's body is still very weak and he can't drink very much, I'll toast him this glass. Zhou Wenhai smiled politely and raised his wine glass. "These days, I really thank you uncles and uncles for helping our Zhou family, and I am also looking for an opportunity to thank you in person, I salute you for this glass of wine, and I hope that uncles and uncles will continue to take care of you in the future. ”

"Ouch, Zhou Gongzi is really good at talking~"

"yes, come on, come on, ......"

In the staggered manner, everyone was quickly attracted by Zhou Wenhai's conversation, and Zhou Wentao also noticed the hint of his brother's eyes quietly handed, and immediately understood, and hurriedly found an excuse, and was about to slip away as if relieved, but at this moment, he suddenly seemed to notice something, and his eyes suddenly focused on the slender figure who had just entered the door.

I saw Jiang Yao, who was in a suit and leather shoes, standing not far from the door, looking at him with a smile.
