in a quaint room.

The faint smell of incense is getting fainter and fainter.

The sunlight that comes in through the carved windows illuminates the materials very brightly.

Shi Shengcun re-read the photos again, and finally pinched the handwriting identification report for a long time.

After that, he put it down.

He pulled out a few blank pieces of paper, picked up the pen in his pocket, soaked up the ink, and began to draft the report in earnest, word by word.

He was slow to write, as if he was considering the wording, and did not express any opinion on the current events, but objectively gave a brief and clear description of the report and his speculation about Cheng Lin.

There were not many words, and when the drafting was finished, he buttoned up the cap of his pen, folded the documents in the same way, packed them in a brown paper bag, sealed them, and carefully stamped them with the stamp of "Top Secret".

After doing this, he exhaled and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

This document is not intended to be seen by people within the Tris, but by higher institutions, and at higher levels, which will also serve as a strong proof of his report.

Putting his bag aside, he pulled out his satellite communicator instead.

With his level, the security level of this communicator is extremely high, and there is enough security, and after hesitating, he finally dialed a number.

In the quiet room, a dial tone sounded, and after five seconds, it suddenly disappeared, meaning that it was hung up.

Shi Shengcun was not surprised, waited quietly, and after about a few minutes, the communicator rang, he clicked on, and heard a slightly old voice in the silence on the opposite side: "What's the matter?" ”

Shi Shengcun exhaled lightly and said:

"Minister, it's about Cheng Lin, there is a new discovery......

……

……

"Please take a break here, and I'll go and inform the person in charge."

"Okay." Cheng Lin nodded casually, and then watched the young man walk away quickly, he retracted his gaze, and instead of entering the reception room, he walked down the mossy stone steps to the quiet lake in the valley.

At this moment, the sun is shining, sprinkled on the water, like a piece of broken gold.

"Whoa—"

In the distance, a small waterfall on the cliff hung on the slightly deserted peak, Cheng Lin sighed silently, thinking to himself, the scenery of the No. 16 Spirit Land is indeed not as beautiful as summer.

Yes, Spirit Land 16, this is where he chose to live temporarily after thinking about it.

In the taxi, he arrived in a nearby town, then found a remote place to fly Edgeworth, landed straight outside the territory arch, and then used his ID to easily enter the gate.

Probably because of the disaster of the undead, the entire spiritual land was empty, and there was no one to be seen in the square by the lake.

All the monks must have been transferred, and it was quiet—just what he wanted.

"Quack—"

Gazing, a duck with an arrogant posture slowly swam on the surface of the lake in winter, it turned its head, glanced at Cheng Lin with a little puzzlement, and then called a few times, as if it recognized it, but it still held its head high, flicked its tail without falling into the wind, and turned its head to swim away.

This made Cheng Lin smile and feel a little better.

Behind him, footsteps were heard.

When he turned around, he saw a tall, thin man in a white coat and black leather shoes.

After Ren Yi went to the capital, it was obvious that the person in charge had changed here.

Cheng Lin thought that the successor's bearing was more than a step worse than Ren Yi's, so he heard the other party stretch out his right hand and said a little restrainedly:

"I didn't expect you to come, I'm the person in charge of this place now......"

Cheng Lin shook hands with the other party gently, exchanged a few words, and then directly said his request to stay here for a few days.

"Although I graduated, I still have a lot of contribution points in the account of Zaijiu Division, which should be enough for me to live here for a long time." Cheng Lin said with a smile.

The person in charge hurriedly waved his hand:

"You can stay as long as you want, and ...... room"

"That's it." Cheng Lin pointed to a very inconspicuous small house by the lake, and then added with a smile, "When I used to train here, I lived there and got used to it. I've seen it, and there's no one now, okay? ”

The person in charge swallowed the suggestion of a better room and replied decisively:

"No problem. If you have any other needs, just let me know. ”

"There's no need," Cheng Lin waved his hand, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, I remember that there used to be a dog here that could cultivate, is it still there?" ”

"Ah, it was taken away by the previous person in charge, the current academician Ren, and it should have gone to Jingli."

"That's right." Cheng Lin nodded, thinking that he hadn't seen it next to Ren Yi last time, and sighed imperceptibly, in just a few months, he returned to his hometown, but most of the old people were gone, which was a little sentimental after all.

Retracting his scattered thoughts and glancing at the restrained person in charge, Cheng Lin smiled gently, and then said:

"Okay, it's nothing, you go get busy."

"Okay."

The other party nodded, turned around and just took a step, when he heard Cheng Lin stop him:

"I'm sorry I remembered something."

Cheng Lin pointed to the quiet lake, suddenly blinked, and asked seriously, "Is fishing forbidden here?" ”

……

……

At the same time that Cheng Lin settled down in the No. 16 spiritual land, the "wind and rain" in the outside world was getting bigger and bigger.

News, Broadcasting, Internet...... Almost every conceivable media is constantly reporting on the aftermath of the disaster, and the images of the big leaders frequently appear in various disaster-stricken areas and appear on the screens of news stations.

In foreign countries, it is even more difficult to count similar preaching and mourning activities initiated by various organizations.

This projection has more than 200 projects around the world, and the impact is unprecedented, and those emotions of anger, sadness and other emotions from different countries and different nationalities are also like a balloon that is rapidly inflating.

In the shadow of the "balloon", there is an undercurrent that is invisible to ordinary people.

However, people can only see the appearance in the end, and only a very small number of keen eyes will notice some changes in details.

For example, there are some obviously ill-intentioned and unknown driving forces in public opinion.

For another example, the top person in charge of the special affairs department, who had been following the big leader in the live broadcast of the news station, quietly disappeared.

……

It was another evening, and a plane flew back to the imperial capital from the south.

Yanshan.

Liang Jing, who slept hard, his feet were empty, and the drowsy Liang Jing drank saliva, pursed his chapped lips, then put on his uniform, pushed open the door, and his face was suddenly red by a huge orange-red sunset.

She shook her head with a wry smile, and then realized that she had slept all day, and with a wry smile, she shook her head, and a sense of urgency rose in her heart, which came from the anxiety of information.

But since no one has woken himself up, come to think of it, there should be nothing major, something urgent.

Comforting herself, she quickly picked herself up and walked towards the office area while flipping through the messages on her phone.

The office area is still full of people and the atmosphere is tense.

Obviously, the aftermath of this incident is unlikely to dissipate for at least a week.

All kinds of applications and information sent from more than 20 departments and bureaus across the country need to be approved here, and nothing can be neglected at critical moments.

God knows what kind of terrible turmoil it will cause if an unknown staff member of a certain group of a certain department or bureau underneath makes a wrong remark on Weibo.

No amount of caution can be overstated!

Liang Jing shook his head, sighed, rubbed his forehead, which was faintly swollen and aching because of his long sleep, cheered up, and walked into the central office, and then happened to see Shi Shengcun finish signing a document.

"You haven't rested yet?" Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Shi Shengcun didn't seem to see that something was wrong with her emotions, and smiled gently:

"Got a lot of sleep? Have you eaten? ”

"I'm asking you, don't you have any rest during the day?" Liang Jing asked with round eyes, and a clerk outside the door who was just about to come in glanced at the situation, shrunk his shoulders, and retreated decisively.

"I took a nap at noon." Shi Shengcun lied sincerely.

Liang Jing hugged his shoulders and sneered, did not speak, and after a confrontation, Shi Shengcun finally looked away and said with a wry smile:

"Speaking of which, I've always felt that you women are the most suitable for cultivating the Perception Department, well, you have an incomprehensible talent in this regard."

After speaking, Shi Shengcun, who did not get the expected "joke" feedback, reluctantly continued:

"There are too many things here, and they don't dare to decide many things, so they can only come to me, as the Eight Rank Realm of the Perception Department, my spiritual power is much higher than others, and the efficiency of handling things is naturally good, and I don't need much rest, and the problem is not big......"

"But you're not healed." Liang Jing suddenly spit out a sentence.

"Those injuries are not a big problem, I know my body very well......" Shi Shengcun said tirelessly, suddenly, the communicator on the table vibrate, he picked it up and looked at it, it was a text message.

"Okay, let's talk about this later, the minister has returned, I have to go over, there is something important."

As he spoke, Shi Shengcun dusted off his clothes, pressed his hands on the wheelchair, and stood up.

Although he did suffer physical damage during the battle with Lancelot, he is now able to walk.

The only downside is that there is still some dull pain when walking around.

But since I'm going to the special department, it's not good to go in a wheelchair.

Avoiding Liang Jing's gloomy gaze, Shi Shengcun walked straight out, looking very neat.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the room, his eyes subconsciously narrowed because of the dazzling sunlight, the injuries that had been forcibly suppressed in his body for a long time suddenly exploded, and a disorderly force rampaged through his body.

Shi Shengcun felt that his brain was dizzy like lack of oxygen, the world around him was turned upside down, everything was spinning, a strong feeling of nausea came out of his throat, and his body staggered backwards.

"What's wrong?" Liang Jing next to him was quick-eyed, rushed up and dragged Shi Shengcun back to the room and put him back in the chair.

Then a hand pressed down on his chest, quickly using his own strength to try to smooth the torrent in his body.

About a minute passed.

Shi Shengcun got rid of that feeling of dizziness, but his face was as pale as paper, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were densely packed.

"You can't work any longer! Need a break! Liang Jing said in a serious tone without question.

Shi Shengcun inhaled heavily, controlled himself, pressed the injury down again, and then took out two bottles of potion and swallowed it, after doing all this, he smiled bitterly:

"It seems that I did overestimate myself, don't worry, I'm not that stupid, I don't plan to overdraw my life just to do these meaningless chores, it seems that I do need to rest."

"If you know, it's good." Liang Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, I saw Shi Shengcun frowning: "But ......"

Liang Jing saw at a glance what he was thinking, and immediately said:

"You need to rest immediately! Your situation is not suitable for going out! Is there anything I have to go there in person? Can't wait? Or I'll do it for you! ”

"It's not that I have to go, it's just ......" Shi Shengcun leaned back in his chair, endured the pain in his head, hesitated, sighed, and said, "Okay, then you can help me hand this over to the minister." ”

As he spoke, he took out the parchment document bag from the storage ring, handed it to Liang Jing, and then rubbed his eyebrows while admonishing:

"Top secret documents, remember halfway, keep them carefully."

"Okay, I know, how many times have I sent similar documents for you, and which time has something gone wrong?" Liang Jing bit his lip and put away the document bag, "You can rest assured that you can go and rest." ”

Shi Shengcun had the heart to remind that this document was more important than before, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything after all.

"Come on, take the head back to rest!" Liang Jing beckoned his subordinates to come over.

It wasn't until she saw Shi Shengcun leave that she breathed a sigh of relief, shook her drowsy brain, and walked towards the parking lot.

……

……

Dozens of minutes later.

Sitting in the car, Liang Jing saw the building of the Special Management Department standing against the background of dusk.

She parked the car in the yard, then pushed the door open, slammed it shut, then took a breath of cold air and walked towards the building, which was already lit up.

As night fell, the building was already brightly lit and full of people, and there was a strong sense of tension in the corridors.

After verifying the documents, Liang Jing went upstairs all the way, and came to the "minister's" office, but he was empty.

After inquiring about it, I learned that the minister was in the conference room.

"What's going on?" She couldn't help but ask.

The clerk, who was familiar with Liang Jing, shook his head, and then said:

"I don't know what to do, but did you see the car in the yard when you came? A big leader is coming, and the minister is accompanying him. ”

Liang Jing was stunned, she really didn't pay attention, and as for which "big leader" it was, she wisely didn't ask.

In short, there are only a few people who can be accompanied by the minister.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Liang Jing stood in the corridor and thought about it, then turned around and walked in the direction of the conference room.

Of course, she couldn't have knocked on the door of the conference room, but she thought that when the meeting was over, someone would come out and just hand in the papers.

Walking through the bright corridor, Liang Jing slowly walked up to the floor where the conference room was located, and obviously felt that it was deserted.

She walked forward again, then decisively stopped in the corner of the room, intending to wait a moment.

At this moment, suddenly, the conference room was pushed open a gap.

Liang Jing's ears suddenly pricked up, but he saw that it was not a "minister" or a "big leader" who came out, but another "acquaintance".
