"The new appointment came down so soon? Didn't even ask for your opinion? ”

A tall man frowned as he looked at the paperwork in his hand, then turned to look at the girl curled up in her seat.

"Although the central government does not need my consent to appoint personnel to our bureau, it usually does not skip me and issue documents directly, but this time it is so menacing, I am afraid that the power of 'those people' has penetrated ......deeper than we imagined," the girl said calmly.

"And as soon as we had an accident, we directly dismissed Lou Yue's position and parachuted a newcomer, presumably we have been eyeing him for a long time, maybe...... From the time they agreed to our monitoring of Yuan Ling, the 'gang of people' had already begun to brew, and even if there was no incident in this incident, they would have already thought of other excuses. ”

The girl said, lowering her eyes, and there was a slight remorse in her voice.

"I'm to blame for this, I should have noticed it earlier......"

"How can I blame you? If it weren't for you taking the lead and thwarting their plans in the Inquisitor Exam, I'm afraid the situation would be even more dire than it is now. ”

The man smiled and leaned down, reaching out like a child to caress the girl's long black and soft hair, and whispered. "You've done enough, don't take all the blame on yourself."

The girl sighed softly and looked up at the man beside her.

A pair of light gray pupils were looking at her gently, and when she touched those eyes, the uneasiness in the girl's heart seemed to subside slightly.

"The previous investigator exam, it was really hard for you." The girl looked at the exotic man in front of her and said softly. "Thanks to your help, I was able to successfully expose the conspiracy on the side of the military department, and I also saved Ye Yu ...... several times"

"Since it's your request, I naturally won't refuse. After participating in the Investigator exam as 'Machuz' this time, I found the Investigator Exam quite interesting. The man laughed and waved his hand indifferently. It's a pity that I can only appear in front of people all the time in a disguised posture, after all, once my true appearance is seen. That's a big problem...... Especially for Xiao Yue. ”

"You don't have to pretend to be with me anymore." The girl looked at the man and said slowly.

"Haha, it's ......," Marchuz said, reaching out and carefully removing the human skin mask from his face.

Without the exotic towering nose bridge and eyebrow bones, the man under the mask presents a face belonging to a person from the Central Plains, with a little less heroic spirit, but more calm and indifferent; The only thing that hasn't changed in his face is the light gray pupils.

The girl stared at the familiar and faintly unfamiliar face, and there seemed to be a flash of sadness in her eyes. And this subtle change did not escape the man's eyes.

"By the way, Xiaoyue...... How's it going? As if trying to avoid the girl's gaze, the man turned his back and diverted the topic by the way.

"Temporarily confined to the apartment to recuperate." The girl lowered her head and looked away. "But after taking such a big burden on his body, it's not a bad thing to cultivate well, and I've already fought for him to avoid the pain of prison."

"The kid...... It's still too stubborn. The man shook his head slightly. The Blood Keystone in his body was originally consuming his lifespan all the time, and every time he used the Blood Keystone, this consumption would be accelerated......"

"yes...... How could he not have known about such a thing? But as soon as I ran into something about 'devouring'. He'll lose his cool ......," the girl said, rubbing her eyebrows, rather helplessly. "That incident three years ago hit him too hard."

"That's a knot in his heart, one that won't be untied so quickly." The man sighed. "I'm afraid he always thinks that the accident was caused by his mistakes. So subconsciously, I have been atoning for my 'mistakes', whether it is for 'devouring', or for Ye Yu, who has the same physique as 'that person'...... And to overcome this knot, he can only rely on himself after all. ”

The man muttered. Looking up at his face reflected in the mirror of the window, he sighed again.

"That's right...... Ye Yu, how is he? I heard that he was taken away by the regulators for investigation? Something suddenly occurred to the man.

“…… Right. Because before his death, Zhou Jinping claimed to have told Ye Yu the location of the 'Blood Key Bracelet', and now the 'Dragon Whisker Spoon' is in our hands. Zhou Jinping's biological data has also been obtained, and as long as they can know the exact storage location of the 'Blood Key Bracelet', they can complete the recovery, so they will naturally not give up...... However, Ye Yu himself insisted that Zhou Shiping didn't tell him anything. The girl replied.

"And what do you think?"

"Ye Yu has no reason to hide anything for Zhou Jinping, so I believe his statement, it's just ...... The regulator remains skeptical. The girl said slowly. And because of Ye Yu's special 'Expulsor' physique, they didn't use the Blood Keystone to search his brain, so they could only use the most primitive method to constantly interrogate him. ”

"If you don't know, no matter how much you interrogate, it won't be fruitful......" The man frowned.

"Yes, but they don't want to let him go, so ......" The girl paused, reached out and dropped out a virtual screen on the back of the chair, and on the screen, Ye Yu's file was impressive.

"Special Investigation Bureau...... Assistant? The man read the information on the file, a look of surprise on his face. They arranged Ye Yu into the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau? ”

"I arranged it...... It is also the best outcome after the game with the regulator. The girl explained. As a rare 'Expulsor', and as the only person who may have the clue of the 'Bracelet of Bloodkeys' at the moment, the Guardian will not allow him to leave his sight, and it is better to let him stay within my control than to let him be taken away by the Guardian and placed under house arrest......

"They agreed?"

"Reluctantly agreed, but only if it ...... He will be transferred to the 'care' of a designated person. The girl said, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"The designated person? Could it be ......?"

"It's the new director of the Eastern District Bureau." The girl gave the answer directly.

"Sure enough......" The man looked at the appointing paperwork again, frowning.

"However, they don't seem to be aware of the 'mutation' in Ye Yu's physique, and they don't have the energy to pay too much attention to Ye Yu at the moment, so they only keep a minimum of monitoring him, which is a blessing in misfortune......," the girl said as she looked at the man. You must have noticed the change in his constitution when you first rescued him, right? ”

"Hmm...... Not only does he have amazing healing powers, but he can also inspire amazing powers under certain conditions, but he can't control them right now......" the man said solemnly.

"His 'mutations' don't stop there." The girl said and brought up another video. Presented on a virtual screen.

What is presented in the video is the scene of Ye Yu acting alone in the "replica of the Loulan Ancient Tomb" in the investigator exam.

"I think his other 'ability' has also been stimulated, and this 'ability' is not good...... It can become an extremely dangerous existence. The girl watched Ye Yu's every move in the video, and there seemed to be a trace of worry between her eyebrows.

"You...... Already verified? The man squinted his eyes and followed the girl's line of sight to observe Ye Yu in the video.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." The girl said firmly, looking up at the man. "At present, Ye Yu himself is obviously not aware of this, and we can't let anyone else know, especially ...... It was the new head of the Eastern District Bureau. ”

"Since the new sub-chief was sent by 'those guys'. I'm afraid it's not a fuel-efficient lamp, but at the moment we don't know the details of it...... Need me to investigate undercovertly? The man looked away from the video.

"I came to you this time to ask you for this." The girl nodded. "I feel that this person has been arranged at such a time, except to restrain us, it seems...... There are other reasons as well. I'm worried that the 'balance' I've always had will be broken......"

"Don't worry, wrap it up with me." The man patted the girl on the shoulder, and at the same time reached out and pulled out a white mask and put it on her face.

"Heh, I really prefer to wear a mask." The man bowed his head. Smiled at the girl.

"Don't always keep a straight face~ You have to remember that you are never alone, except for me, Xiao Yue Lanyu and they are also your backing. Not to mention that there are a lot of reliable newcomers in this exam, isn't it? ”

......The girl was stunned for a moment, as if she wanted to smile hard, but she couldn't. Eventually, it evolved into a tangled expression.

"Hahaha~ Don't push yourself too hard." The masked man smiled, reaching out again and rubbing the girl's forehead. "Rest well, wait for my news."

After speaking. The masked man's figure flashed and disappeared into the room.

"Push yourself...... ......" The girl sighed quietly, looked at Ye Yu's photo on the screen and was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head and reached out to turn off the screen-

Ye Yu dragged his tired body and stood in front of the magnificent municipal building.

A few months ago, he was standing in the same position, looking up at the municipal building. At that time, he became a state official for the first time, and he was apprehensive and expectant...... And now, he is forced to become a state official again, but his mood is very different.

Ye Yu raised his hand and looked at the black ring-shaped object tightly bound to his wrist, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

After several days and nights of intensive interrogation to no avail, he was suddenly told that he had become an assistant to the Special Investigation Bureau, that he had no reason to refuse, and that he had been forced to wear this locator on his hand...... The intention is clear to Ye Yu.

"You can play this game for me."

This is what Zhou Jinping told himself before he died, and it is also the whereabouts of the so-called "Blood Key Bracelet" that he claimed to everyone.

Even though he repeated it countless times, those interrogators were still suspicious of him, and as an "expulsor", his brain had become "Schrödinger's cat box" without being verified by the Blood Keystone's brain, and the outside world could not clearly determine the authenticity of his statement, so his position became extremely delicate.

Zhou Jinping...... You did it on purpose, right? Why?

Ye Yu thought sadly, but he was not too frustrated, since he had inexplicably joined the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, it was also crooked, after all, he had participated in the investigator examination at the beginning, and he also wanted to join the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau and track the whereabouts of "Eat".

Ye Yu took a deep breath and stepped into the municipal building.

Lou Yue...... Will it be in the office? Does he know about me joining the bureau? Those who interrogated me didn't seem to be in the bureau...... Who the hell are they?

Ye Yu thought wildly, and after going through several complicated procedures, he finally stood at the door of the office of the director of the Eastern District of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau. And what made him unbelievable was that the people who contacted him before were all fresh faces, and even Xiao Yan didn't know where to go, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Let's go in, the newcomers who reported today are already inside." The female secretary who led her dropped a sentence expressionlessly, then ignored Ye Yu and turned to leave.

Are there any other newcomers ......?

Ye Yu pushed open the door suspiciously, and what caught his eye was the familiar backs of a man and a woman.

"Yo, you're finally here."

The back turned around, and Ye Yu saw two familiar faces.

"Yang Yunyi? Shinoru?? Ye Yu was stunned and looked at the two partners in front of him who had lived and died with him, and was suddenly surprised and delighted.

"Don't be in a daze, come in." Shinoru whispered. "The Director has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Ye Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly dodged into the office. "Sorry for being late, ...... building"

Ye Yu suddenly didn't say any more, because he saw a stranger behind the two of them.

"You...... You are...... Who? Ye Yu looked at the strange man sitting in the director's chair, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly swept over like a flood.

"Lou Yue has been dismissed." The man on the seat looked at Ye Yu with a blank face, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his slender eyes showed a meaningful color.

"When we first met, I was Qi Yu, the new director of the Eastern District of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau."
