"Hmm~~" With a low groan, Lu Xiaoling finally opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught her eye was Sun Yang's excited and concerned face, and she was dazed for a moment, and then remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.

"...... fox?" She asked subconsciously.

She didn't think of anything in her mind the moment she pushed Sun Yang away, but now, she suddenly became afraid.

"She's been sealed up, and she's been taken over by the Special Cases Administration." Sun Yang said to her.

In fact, there was a dispute over the ownership of the fox sculpture. Long Qingting wanted to take it back to the distant mountains for safekeeping, but Guan Mo insisted that it should be sealed by the headquarters of the Special Case Administration, and after the two argued for a while, Long Qingting finally made concessions.

But elsewhere he has gained a lot.

This incident can already be regarded as the most serious out-of-control incident since the founding of the Great Xia Empire, Long Qingting resolutely risked the danger of a plane crash to fall from the sky at the most dangerous moment, saving millions of people in Luoyi City from the desperate situation of death, such an achievement can not be erased.

For the first time, the speculation that he deliberately delayed the rescue time, and even deliberately indulged the development of the situation to this point, was completely denied in a one-sided public opinion. Many people present saw that Long Qingting was seriously injured, one hand was almost broken, his important deputy Jue Hui was beaten to the point of spitting blood and even almost died, and Huo Dou, who was also his important deputy, died heroically in the process of fighting the demon fox, this series of circumstances finally made the conspiracy theory completely out of the market.

Long Qingting has received a royal commendation and has been promoted to the deputy director of the Caiyun Provincial Branch Bureau and the director of the Yuanshan Division, which is just the proper meaning, and the official reward has not even been determined.

An even more important takeaway for Long Qingting was that this incident had completely sparked a discussion on whether to formally recruit cultivators and monsters into the Special Cases Management Bureau, whereas previously, only the Special Operations Group under his jurisdiction had the special privilege to "temporarily" use members of these two identities.

Will the practitioner also serve the empire and the people wholeheartedly? Youkai will also die for the lives of the people?

Although Huo Dou was not the first youkai to die in a mission, he was the first youkai to die in an important person in the country, and his death gave these questions a different answer for the first time.

The new generation of officials who have painstakingly bribed and promoted to power in the past ten years have spared no effort to make fierce remarks at the aftermath meeting on the matter, and have a fierce dispute with the conservatives, so that even the prince sent by the royal family to preside over the meeting has to personally stand up to cool down the two sides.

They didn't have the courage to say that Emperor Taizu Gao's decision back then was wrong, this was the political bottom line, and no one would touch it, but they tried to make a detour in every possible way, trying to open up a special channel for the large-scale use of aliens by the Special Case Administration.

"This kind of thing may not be an isolated case, if we continue to implement discriminatory policies against these 'outliers', and the next Ghost King of the Mountains appears, who should we send to deal with it?"

"To do this is to seek the skin of the tiger!" Dai Baichuan, who hurried to the imperial capital to attend the meeting, said. "The electromagnetic pulse wave weapon has proven its actual combat effectiveness, and the right thing to do is to continue to increase the research and development of this decisive weapon......"

"And then let more young people take them and send them to their deaths, right?" The radical cadre asked with a sneer. "There are better, more efficient, less impactful and less sacrificial, but no, I don't know what you're thinking in your head!"

"I'm wondering if your father would have regretted giving birth to you if he had known that his son would one day spare no effort to get these things into the upper echelons!"

The atmosphere suddenly became very stiff, and the middle-aged man who was accused by him suddenly turned red in his eyes, panting like a bull, but Dai Baichuan looked at him with sad eyes.

After a few minutes, he finally brought himself back to his composure.

"It is precisely because of this misfortune that I do not want to see more children like me, orphaned because of the stubbornness of some bureaucrats." He said to Dai Baichuan, but also to everyone present. "Director Dai, I know what you've been through, and I know what you're afraid of. The Empire will not let them climb back on the heads of everyone, let alone let them hold the very roots of power. But in order for our people, our soldiers, to no longer face those things in their own flesh and blood, we must put them in their right place. Don't create more tragedies because of your own fears. ”

"Is it possible that you only want their power and not give them what they really crave?" Dai Baichuan said the same to him, but also to all the people who attended. "Things can't be as simple as you think, as long as this opening is opened, this large and powerful group will quickly occupy those important front-line positions, and then, they are not the object of your control."

But not many people listened to his words.

Several of the main responsible persons of the Yuzhou branch and the Luoyi branch have been killed, which makes the Special Cases Administration Bureau have no way to hold the incident responsible. But what is clear is that such a thing can happen in Luoyi, or it can happen anywhere.

This is especially true of places with a long history.

Who can guarantee that there are no such monsters buried in the land more than ten meters deep in their jurisdiction?

If they do get out of trouble, do they have to fill in hundreds of thousands of lives to quell them? Burying your own political life and life?

This is no longer the time for the founding of Great Xia, even those who grew up from that era, after so many years of ordinary life, and finally climbed to today's position, there is no way to sacrifice and fight hard like when they had nothing.

"Old Dai, the kind of talk involving individuals and families at today's meeting, I will say less in the future...... a senior official of the General Administration said to Dai Baichuan cryptically during a break between meetings.

He took a drag on his cigarette, shook his head and said nothing.

……

Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling, who were thousands of miles away, of course didn't know what the final result would be in this matter, Long Qingting and the others had already returned to Yuanshan after the matter calmed down, and they had done the best of the high wind and brightness of "going to the clothes", but they stayed because of Lu Xiaoling's coma.

"There shouldn't be any problems, but for the sake of insurance, it's better to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time." The doctor said after giving Lu Xiaoling a full body examination.

Sun Yang looked at Lu Xiaoling.

The hospital was full of wounded people, and even the corridors were full of wounded people. The medical staff were visibly exhausted and under tremendous psychological pressure.

Because the crematorium is overworked, and the cold storage for the bodies is far from sufficient, even the incinerator in the hospital is burning the body all night long.

The black ash in the sky made the entire city of Luoyi look completely dead, and faint cries could be heard everywhere.

Scattered pieces of paper money fluttered in the air.

"Let's go back." Lu Xiaoling said to Sun Yang.
