Mai Bao Xiao Lang Jun
Chapter 56 The Curse of the Demonic Eye
Wei Yuanzhou could see Yuan Shi Tianzun's grave expression from afar, as well as the baleful aura gathered between his brows.
He frowned almost imperceptibly, a gentle smile quickly appearing on his face as he went to greet him.
"You, as the team leader, just left without saying a word. You didn't explain what you were going to do either, but the matter is over…" Wei Yuanzhou stopped halfway, suddenly stopping because he saw Yuan Shi Tianzun grab a handful of sharp willow-leaf blades from his inventory.
Coupled with his expression, Wei Yuanzhou felt a chill in his heart.
Zhang Yuanqing walked straight to Wei Yuanzhou's side, staring at him coldly. "Wei Yuanzhou, I now suspect that you colluded with an evil profession to assassinate a colleague and then silenced him afterwards. Come with me to Songhai."
As soon as he said this, the originally noisy office area suddenly quieted down, becoming so silent that a pin could be heard dropping.
Shocked gazes looked over.
*How does he know? How could he possibly know? Didn't Grandpa take the blame?* Wei Yuanzhou almost couldn't control his expression, his heart pounding wildly a few times, but his face showed a look of confusion and incomprehension.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."
Guan Ya, who was beside Zhang Yuanqing, said "Heh":
"As expected, there's something fishy. I can't see any problem with him. Does he have some kind of item on him that hides emotions?"
She and Queen and the others had already learned the course of events from Yuan Shi.
Instigating evil professions to assassinate colleagues, and killing blood relatives who raised them, the heinous acts were terrifying.
In fact, there had been a small dispute within the patrol team on how to handle this matter. Li Chunfeng suggested following procedures and reporting the matter to headquarters.
Queen believed that there was a lack of substantial evidence, making it difficult for headquarters to pay attention, and that the matter should be reported to Elder Fu Qingyang for him to decide.
But Guan Ya rejected Queen's proposal. She knew her cousin well. Fu Qingyang was a very rational person, a natural politician. A politician's wisdom was to compromise, not make mistakes, and exploit the rules.
Wei Yuanzhou was from the Jinghai branch, an Lingjing Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) under the jurisdiction of the Xie City branch, and had nothing to do with the Songhai branch.
Neither the Songhai branch nor Fu Qingyang had law enforcement power in Jinghai City.
Forcibly intervening would be both taboo and subject to demerits. Within the Five Elements Alliance, demerits were a terrible thing, directly related to one's career.
If an elder received a demerit, they would most likely only be able to stay in a local position and never be able to go to headquarters.
So Guan Ya's proposal was to act first and report later, forcibly control Wei Yuanzhou, and then interrogate him slowly.
As a Saint, Wei Yuanzhou was not a fish on a chopping board. Once he saw that things were not going well, he might abscond.
And Jinghai was the estuary of several large rivers, with countless tributaries in the city. Once a plague god jumped into the river, even immortals would find it difficult to find him.
From beginning to end, Zhang Yuanqing did not participate in the discussion, listening expressionlessly, only saying "Let's go" after Guan Ya overrode the opposition.
Wei Yuanzhou said in a voice that everyone could hear, with a face full of innocence:
"This is absurd! What exactly are you talking about? You have to be responsible for what you say."
Yuan Qing looked at him coldly and said:
"I'll only ask you one question. Are you the person in charge of the incident? Was it you who proposed that the Jinghai branch ask Songhai for help? Your purpose was to kill him, right?
You've wanted to get rid of him for a long time, because his existence makes you panic and uneasy."
He had understood this question on the way here. Uncle Zhang was willing to dedicate his life to his grandson's future, unaware that his precious grandson had never thought of letting him live.
Hearing this, Wei Yuanzhou no longer held any hope in his heart.
He confirmed that Yuan Shi Tianzun knew everything. The words his grandfather said this morning were all lies. His grandfather had not taken the blame, otherwise how would Yuan Shi Tianzun know?
In an instant, he only felt like he had fallen from heaven into hell. The opportunity for promotion had just appeared, but it was destined to be just an illusion.
No, not only was the opportunity for promotion gone, but his career was also over.
His relationship with his grandfather could not be concealed, and Yuan Shi Tianzun had made accusations. Even if he had no evidence, the higher-ups would definitely investigate such incidents.
Ordinary lie detection props were useless to him, but elder-level or legendary talismans could easily detect the truth.
Colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues was a capital crime!
*This old thing is harming me even in death, harming me even in death!* A strong sense of anger and unwillingness rose in Wei Yuanzhou's heart, but he quickly suppressed his emotions, his mind racing.
*I can't stay in the official system anymore. Staying to accept punishment is certain death. Becoming a rogue cultivator is my only choice. Although the quality of life is destined to decline and the power in my hands will be lost, it's better than losing my life.* Wei Yuanzhou took a deep breath, focusing his attention on the immediate predicament, his expression slightly angry, raising his voice and saying:
"Yuan Shi Tianzun, where did I do wrong in yesterday's operation that offended you? I apologize to you. You are a magnanimous person, don't be so petty with me.
I won't take all the credit for killing the Tongling Shi (medium). I will share half of it with you."
His words were malicious, implying that Yuan Shi Tianzun was dissatisfied with him for taking the credit and was taking revenge.
The expressions of the official Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) of the Jinghai branch in the office area couldn't help but change.
A female employee quietly got up and ran towards the inside of the office area. A moment later, a short but sturdy Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer led the female employee out.
He examined the group from the Songhai branch, retracted his gaze, looked at Wei Yuanzhou, and said in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
Wei Yuanzhou showed a bitter smile: "Leader, I don't know either. Yuan Shi Tianzun rushed in aggressively and wrongly accused me of colluding with evil professions to assassinate a colleague, and even said he wanted to take me back to Songhai for investigation.
I just can't figure it out. Even if I did these things, it shouldn't be handled by the Songhai branch."
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer's face darkened upon hearing this.
Not far away, an official Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) said:
"That's right, Team Wei is our Jinghai branch's team leader. It's not the Songhai branch's turn to intervene."
"Colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues is too outrageous. Who doesn't know Team Wei's character? I've finally seen what it means to forcibly slander someone."
"Yuan Shi Tianzun, even if you're a celebrity, you can't wrong people like this. You have to show evidence. I used to like you so much."
The surrounding official Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) were talking at once.
"What are you shouting about? If you shout again, this grandma will burn you to death!" Jiang Jingwei, like a little leopard, cursed at the crowd.
The noise subsided.
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer stared at Yuan Shi Tianzun and frowned:
"What exactly is going on?"
Zhang Yuanqing returned his gaze and pointed at Wei Yuanzhou. "The Tongling Shi (medium) who died in the hospital this morning was named Wei. He was Wei Yuanzhou's grandfather. He was also the murderer in the Qinghe County massacre and a wanted criminal. Half a month ago, the grandfather and grandson reunited. Wei Yuanzhou forced him to assassinate Bai Hu Wansui (White Tiger Longevity) to clear obstacles on the path to promotion. Then he killed him to silence him, personally turning his grandfather into a stepping stone to advance to enforcer. The body is in the morgue. A DNA test or a search for the wanted warrant from that year will make everything clear."
The faces of many veteran Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker), including the Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer, changed slightly, looking at Wei Yuanzhou with a subtle expression.
Only the old employees knew about Wei Yuanzhou's family background. Most of the new employees didn't know much about it.
After all, Wei Yuanzhou was already a team leader, a lower-middle level leader, and a level 4 Saint, a quasi-enforcer. No one dared to gossip behind his back.
But how did Yuan Shi Tianzun, an outsider, know?
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer said in a deep voice:
"Team Leader Wei, you have a chance to defend yourself."
*My contact with the old man is all done privately, using unregistered phone cards. I've never sent any messages. The old man is already dead, and his spirit has dissipated. Yuan Shi Tianzun can't possibly have any ironclad evidence.*
*As long as I deny everything, he won't be able to control me by any means. The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer will definitely suggest a DNA test. That's my chance to escape. I can take advantage of the Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer's stubborn and pedantic character.*
Wei Yuanzhou said with an angry expression:
"Leader, Yuan Shi Tianzun is framing me. You know my character best. I've already advanced to Saint. Enforcer is only a matter of time for me. You know this, Leader. Why would I collude with evil professions to harm Bai Hu Wansui (White Tiger Longevity)?
Leader, I'm willing to accept the investigation, willing to cooperate with the investigation, but this is my Jinghai branch's matter. When did it become Yuan Shi Tianzun's turn to overstep his authority?"
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer nodded slightly, listening. "Yuan Shi Tianzun, besides the DNA test, what other evidence do you have to prove that Team Wei colluded with evil professions?"
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.
He had already seen Uncle Zhang's body. The remaining spirit had been cleaned up.
Moreover, the Night Watcher's spirit interrogation had always been "for reference only" within the official system. It was just that most of the time, spirit interrogation was used to read the memories of evil professions or victims, and there was no need to lie.
But when it came to internal disputes, spirit interrogation could not be used as evidence.
As for the existence of Master Wuchen and Xiao Yuan, it could not be said. Even if it was said, it could not be used as a witness, and it would be easy for someone to turn around and bite him.
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer looked at him deeply, his tone turning cold:
"I understand. I will accept your accusation. This matter has nothing to do with your Songhai branch. You can go back first."
Zhang Yuanqing said:
"Okay! But I have a request. First, control Wei Yuanzhou."
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer's face darkened. "Yuan Shi Tianzun, Team Leader, I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
Without evidence or empty words, why should he arrest Wei Yuanzhou?
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing slowly exhaled. "Songhai branch patrol team, Yuan Shi Tianzun is arresting a wanted criminal. Everyone, leave immediately. Those who linger will be treated as accomplices. Jingwei, clear the area!"
"Okay!" Jiang Jingwei was overjoyed, turning her head and spewing a stream of flames towards the surrounding official Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) and clerical staff.
Startled, they retreated repeatedly. The flames ignited the documents and flammable items on the desks. With another shake of her head, Jiang Jingwei swept the office with flames, instantly turning it into a sea of fire.
The employees in the office area retreated in shock, clerical staff and Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) below level 3 scurrying away, hugging their heads, and fleeing the office area.
"Yuan Shi Tianzun, do you know what you're doing!"
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer was both shocked and angry upon seeing this.
"Upholding justice on behalf of Heaven!" As Zhang Yuanqing spoke, Guan Ya, carrying the Han Eight-Sided Ancient Sword, dashed out like a lithe female leopard, pouncing towards Wei Yuanzhou.
On the other side, Jiang Jingwei, like a leaking gas pipe, spewed out rapid and fiery light from all over her body. Pieces of molten iron armor emerged from around her, sticking to her petite body, forming a black and red molten armor.
"Boom!"
Her footsteps spewed out intense contrails, propelling her to collide with the Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer, both flying away.
"Damn it…" Wei Yuanzhou's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Yuan Shi Tianzun to act so quickly, catching him off guard.
Knowing that the sword cultivator's close combat ability was powerful, he quickly retreated as he saw Guan Ya rushing over with her sword.
A ghostly figure wearing a wedding dress and holding a cute baby appeared behind him, crashing into his body.
Wei Yuanzhou instantly froze in place.
Guan Ya's forehead burned, her throat itched, and strange blisters grew on her delicate skin.
"Cough…"
She coughed violently, barely able to stand with the support of her sword, like a seriously ill, dying person.
Queen and Xie Lingxi, who were far away, also showed varying degrees of coughing and fever, their heads dizzy.
The Plague God's bacterial ability was one of the best weakening skills among the various professions.
*Thump!*
Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the Mountain God Scepter and slammed it into the ground, the verdant gemstone on the top blooming with a soft halo.
The symptoms on Guan Ya's body quickly disappeared, the disease being cured.
The Plague God's bacterial skills, which he relied on to fight, were perfectly countered by the Mountain God Scepter's self-healing.
At this time, Wei Yuanzhou, who had gained a moment to breathe, had just used his own mental power to eject the Ghost Bride who had possessed his back, when he saw the female sword cultivator rush in front of him, thrusting her sword.
Wei Yuanzhou hurriedly dodged to the side, about to retreat, when he saw the female sword cultivator's feet swivel, driving her waist to rotate, and then using her waist to drive her arms to make a sweeping motion.
*Pfft!*
The bronze sword struck Wei Yuanzhou's right arm, bursting out clear water.
The Water Ghost's passive was triggered.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing, who had already donned the Yin-Yang Robe, pinched out a ball of fire and flung it out.
With a *boom*, the flames surged, and the arm that had turned into clear water had not had time to condense and return before it was evaporated.
"Ah…" Wei Yuanzhou screamed miserably, blood spurting from his severed arm.
Guan Ya didn't give him a chance to breathe, walking quickly and quickly severing Wei Yuanzhou's Achilles tendons and tendons in his hands.
*Thump!* Wei Yuanzhou staggered and fell to the ground, his hands and feet in strange positions, covered in blood.
Zhang Yuanqing, holding the scepter in one hand and the Bloodthirsty Blade in the other, came to Wei Yuanzhou and looked down at him condescendingly.
Wei Yuanzhou raised his head, his face twisted, whether from pain or anger, and said sternly:
"Yuan Shi Tianzun, how… how dare you? Who gave you the right to enforce the law? Are you crazy!"
Zhang Yuanqing looked down indifferently and said:
"This is the real you, ugly and twisted. Your performance is amazing. From beginning to end, I didn't see that you were a beast in human clothing. You can even kill a blood relative who raised you. What else can't you do?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. You will be punished. Headquarters won't spare you." Wei Yuanzhou shouted hoarsely.
He still didn't admit it!
"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Zhang Yuanqing grinned. "Then I'll say something you know. You were born in Qinghe County, Yu Province. Your ancestors were farmers for three generations. Your parents died in a car accident when you were young."
"The person who killed them avoided punishment with a psychiatric evaluation report. After your family pulled strings, he was completely fine. Your family didn't even get a penny of compensation."
"Your grandfather wanted to go to Beijing to appeal, and was almost beaten to death by them. They even used you to threaten him. He could only swallow his blood and tears and raise you."
"The following year, your grandmother committed suicide by drowning. The burden of life fell entirely on your grandfather. He painstakingly raised you. To support your studies, he had to work odd jobs on construction sites, from morning to night all year round. Life suffocated him. But what about you? How did you repay him?"
Guan Ya, Queen, and Xie Lingxi watched Wei Yuanzhou coldly.
Jiang Jingwei and the Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer, who were fighting in the distance, also stopped. The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer listened in astonishment, suddenly losing his fighting spirit.
The official Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) and clerical staff who had fled from the office area peeked and peered.
"You're lying! You're framing me! You're framing me!" Wei Yuanzhou roared.
When Yuan Shi Tianzun mentioned the past in front of everyone, it was like uncovering an old scar in his heart. His expression was a little ferocious, his emotions extremely agitated.
But he still didn't admit it.
Zhang Yuanqing continued, "You forced him to assassinate Bai Hu Wansui (White Tiger Longevity). Do you know what kind of life he's been living these years? He's been hiding and wandering all over the world, without any dignity. He vowed not to kill again. He also wanted to live like a human being."
"Is it that in your eyes, the efforts of elders are taken for granted? He should just give everything for you. If you want to be promoted, if you want to rise to prominence, he has to die to fulfill you. Is all of this just a matter of course?"
"He… he's still willing to die for you, but what about you? You're so clever. You've already decided to kill him to silence him after Bai Hu Wansui (White Tiger Longevity) dies, completely eliminating future troubles, and by the way, earning a merit."
"Why would I frame you? You're like this, and you still think you can escape?"
The Banshan (mountain moving) enforcer was stunned, staring at Wei Yuanzhou with suspicion, seemingly unable to believe his ears.
The official members at the door listened in astonishment.
Wei Yuanzhou raised his head, saw the colleagues in the distance, saw those faces that were either astonished, shocked, disdainful, or hateful, much like those teachers and classmates back then.
His emotions suddenly collapsed. "Do you understand? Do you understand anything!" His expression was ferocious, like a trapped beast with no way out. Yuan Shi Tianzun's words uncovered his scars, uncovered the first half of his life that he had tightly covered. Wei Yuanzhou roared with agitation:
"He wants to be a human being, but don't I? I've never been a human being since I was a child. I've been trampled in the dust. You're a high and mighty genius, what do you understand? You don't understand anything! You pity him, but who will pity me?
I also want to live like a human being. I also want to live with dignity. He abandoned me first. Why does he still want to disturb my life? He ruined my last life and still wants to ruin my next life. He deserves to die!"
Wei Yuanzhou's roar echoed in the office area. Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted:
"No, these are all lies. You're framing me! You're framing me! Headquarters will restore my innocence!"
Zhang Yuanqing said in a low voice:
"You may have had a terrible life. You may feel that the whole world owes you, but from beginning to end, he doesn't owe you anything.
The person who owes him is you!"
Wei Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Yuanqing bent down and put the blade against Wei Yuanzhou's neck.
"What… what are you going to do?" Wei Yuanzhou felt the coldness emanating from the blade, realizing Yuan Shi Tianzun's murderous intent.
His expression suddenly became terrified, and he shouted:
"No, you can't kill me. Headquarters won't let you go. Grandpa… Grandpa wouldn't want to see me die either. Yuan Shi Tianzun, you know Grandpa, right? I'm his only relative. You can't kill me, you can't…"
A flash of cold light, and clear water burst from Wei Yuanzhou's neck.
Flames spewed from Zhang Yuanqing's palm, evaporating the water with sizzling sounds. The head rolled down.
The severed head's eyes were wide open in anger, its lips slightly moving, faintly saying—
"Grandpa!"
Xiao Yuan stood on the edge of the building opposite the Heimen District Public Security Bureau, her line of sight able to see the highest floor of the Public Security Bureau.
The wind lifted her hair and the corners of her clothes, covering her face. She lowered her head, hiding her eyes and expression in her messy, flying hair.
"Yuan Shi…"
A murmur drifted away in the wind.
At noon at ten o'clock, a post exploded on the official forum, rushing to the homepage in a very short time, becoming the most popular topic of the day, and then being marked in red and pinned to the top.
#Yuan Shi Tianzun Angrily Kills Jinghai Branch Saint Wei Yuanzhou, Killing Without Reporting May Face Imprisonment#
The content of the post was very simple, a paragraph of words taken out of context: "During the execution of a mission in Jinghai City, Yuan Shi Tianzun had a conflict with Saint Wei Yuanzhou and, together with patrol team members, beheaded him in the Jinghai branch's office area."
It was accompanied by a picture of Yuan Shi Tianzun standing with a knife, with a headless corpse at his feet.
The entire forum exploded.
The degree of shock was no less than when he wiped out the evil camp Saints in the Extraordinary dungeon, of course, not comparable to the great achievements in the Killing dungeon.
But the seriousness of the nature was worse.
It was like a warrior slaying a dragon and rescuing a princess. Everyone cheered and thought the warrior had a bright future.
But then the warrior slept with the king's concubine. The concubine was naturally not comparable to the terrible dragon, but the nature was very serious and might cause the warrior to be executed.
No one knew the reason why the warrior slept with the concubine instead of the princess, just as the post did not say why Yuan Shi Tianzun angrily killed his Saint colleague. The official Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker) of the various branches were unaware.
Many were rational and felt that there was another hidden story, but more were led by the nose, saying that Yuan Shi Tianzun was getting carried away, "You can't kill a colleague no matter what," "Heaven wants to destroy him, it must first make him mad," and so on.
Fu Family Bay Villa, study.
Fu Qingyang opened his laptop and logged into the Songhai branch conference room software.
Almost at the same time, he saw the five elders, "Old Man and Dog," "Goddess of the Luo River," "Yellow Sand Hundred Battles," "Apocalyptic Heavenly Fire," and "Breath Soil," log in.
As soon as he logged in, Elder Heavenly Fire slammed the table and cursed:
"Killing an official Saint whenever he wants, does he still have the organization in his eyes? Are there any rules and regulations? Is he trying to rebel?"
Three hours had passed since the news came from Jinghai City. The elders of the Songhai branch were shocked when they heard the news.
Killing a colleague was a serious crime. The heinous nature of the crime, the ruthlessness of the means, the branch could tolerate it, but headquarters could not tolerate it. Yuan Shi Tianzun was very likely to ruin his future with one hand.
Elder Heavenly Fire was angry that he was letting himself down!
Elder Goddess of the Luo River said: "Colluding with evil professions to assassinate colleagues, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, killing blood relatives, deserves to die."
Elder Yellow Sand Hundred Battles said in a deep voice: "The Wei Yuanzhou incident has not been finalized, no need to say more. What we need to deal with now is the Yuan Shi Tianzun problem. Headquarters should have received the news. We don't know what the Elder Council's attitude is. Let's first think about how to protect Yuan Shi Tianzun."
Elder Heavenly Fire said angrily: "How to protect him? Even if that Wei Yuanzhou is cut into a thousand pieces, it shouldn't be him who does the killing. Tell me how to protect him? If he can be protected, where will the official prestige be? Where will the discipline be?"
The conference room fell silent.
After more than ten seconds, Elder Dog said in confusion:
"With Yuan Shi's character and mind, he shouldn't have done such a reckless thing. Is there another hidden story in this?"
In that kind of situation, he could completely subdue Wei Yuanzhou and forcibly control him. There was no need to kill him at all.
Fu Qingyang said coldly:
"There is no hidden story. Yuan Shi Tianzun has already admitted that he killed Wei Yuanzhou because he thought he deserved to die."
After a pause, he said:
"I need to add one thing. Li Dongze, the captain of the second team of Kangyang District, Yuan Shi Tianzun's former superior, just called me to tell me that not long ago, he discovered that Yuan Shi Tianzun's temperament had become extremely biased and was very different from when he first joined."
Elder Heavenly Fire was furious upon hearing this:
"Yuan Shi Tianzun's temperament has changed drastically? You didn't know about such an important thing? What kind of superior are you?"
Fu Qingyang did not refute. "I failed to notice the changes in my subordinate's character. I have nothing to say."
Elder Breath Soil analyzed: "Multiple high-difficulty dungeon experiences, experiencing life and death, have subtly affected his temperament? But since he became a Lingjing Xingzhe (spiritual realm walker), he has only entered five or six dungeons. Even if it's dangerous, it shouldn't cause such a drastic change in temperament."
Elder Dog's sigh rang out in the loudspeaker: "Perhaps it's not the dungeon. I remembered one thing."
"If you have something to say, say it. Don't beat around the bush." Elder Heavenly Fire was particularly irritable today.
Elder Dog said with a wry smile:
"This matter is my fault. You all know that the destruction of the Chu family case was what I found out from the Devil's Eye, but there's one more thing I didn't say. At that time, the condition proposed by the Devil's Eye was to see Yuan Shi Tianzun once. I agreed.
The Devil's Eye kept his promise and told me the truth about the massacre that year, but I didn't expect him to suddenly curse Yuan Shi Tianzun, cursing Yuan Shi to become as biased as him.
I carefully checked Yuan Shi's state at the time. He wasn't cursed, and the Devil's Eye was also sealed in the zoo, losing all his abilities. I thought it was just the mouth of an incompetent person. Now it seems…"
"There's still this kind of thing?" The four elders were silent after listening.
But Fu Qingyang shook his head. "I was also there at the time. Any curse would have traces, but Yuan Shi didn't show any signs of being cursed. This is what we confirmed. Moreover, the Subduing Demon Pestle's purification function can eliminate curses. The Devil's Eye isn't a witch doctor, so what could he use to curse Yuan Shi? I don't think Yuan Shi was cursed."
Elder Goddess of the Luo River asked: "Then how do you explain Yuan Shi Tianzun's biased and erratic temperament change!"
Fu Qingyang was speechless.
Elder Yellow Sand Hundred Battles asked:
"Is he in your Fu Family Bay now?"
Fu Qingyang said:
"In the basement, receiving treatment from a psychologist. I think it's best to wait for the diagnosis results. Elder Dog, you can go to the zoo and test the Devil's Eye to see what's going on."
A scout is a natural psychologist because they can see into people's hearts, but a psychologist needs to not only be able to see into people's hearts but also have the skills to guide, comfort, and communicate.
And these require learning and research.
Otherwise, Fu Qingyang would definitely have a good heart-to-heart talk with that "trash" himself.
"It can only be like this. Heh, if that Devil's Eye guy knew the curse worked, he would be happy to upgrade on the spot." Elder Breath Soil asked: "What about the patrol team members?"
Fu Qingyang said:
"Suspend all work, remove all positions, confine them in Fu Family Bay to await the results of headquarters' handling. Guan Ya and Jiang Jingwei are the main accomplices and must be dealt with seriously."
Elder Heavenly Fire coughed hard: "Jingwei is a minor, lacks judgment, and was instigated by Yuan Shi and Guan Ya to do this. She should be dealt with leniently."
Elder Yellow Sand Hundred Battles snorted coldly: "How to protect him? Even if that Wei Yuanzhou is cut into a thousand pieces, it shouldn't be her, a little girl, who does the killing. Tell me how to protect him? If he can be protected, where will the official prestige be? Where will the discipline be?"
"Elder Heavenly Fire…"
Elder Dog said in a bad mood:
"Let's leave it at that. I'm going to the zoo now to see the Devil's Eye. Qingyang, you handle the post on the forum. Explain it to everyone and don't let the rumors ferment.
Meeting adjourned!"
Zoo.
Elder Dog pushed open the door of the prison. A thick but short camphor tree grew in the room, with lush branches and vines hanging down.
The Devil's Eye, half of his body "integrated" into the tree trunk, was hidden under the bead curtain-like vines.
Elder Dog raised his paw. The vines rustled.
They receded into the canopy, revealing the haggard Devil's Eye Heavenly King.
The Devil's Eye Heavenly King, wearing a sports headband on his forehead, opened his eyes, sized up Elder Dog a few times, and cocked his mouth:
"Your expression tells me that you've encountered some extremely bad things. Hmm, since you're here to see me, it must be related to the Church of the Military. Who's come to Songhai this time? Silver Moon? Fury? Or that idiot, Freedom?
If it's him, I advise you to ask the Five Elements Alliance headquarters for help as soon as possible, otherwise you'll all die. I can go out too. I want to see my Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Alas, I've been without contact for a long time, I'm almost as talkative as the Freedom Heavenly King."
Elder Dog ignored his jabber and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Shi Tianzun is in trouble."
The Devil's Eye Heavenly King's face turned gloomy in an instant, no longer sunny and revealing the Heavenly King's true face. He said sternly, "Is he dead?"
