…
At the same time, just as Fang Ze was doubting his life…
In the jungle outside the villa.
A petite girl with a large hammer strapped to her back sped through the jungle.
She had an oval face the size of a palm. Her face had a little baby fat. She also had big eyes, long eyelashes, and a kind of innocence that tempted crime.
She was wearing a short white dress with straps and shallow shoes with a blue flower pattern. She should have looked cute and pure. However, all of this was ruined by the huge hammer behind her that was taller than her.
The hammer looked to be at least 1.6 meters tall, with a heavy head and a light rear. The head of the hammer had eight edges and six petals, making it look like a big pumpkin. It seemed mighty and domineering. However, when it was placed on her, there was an innocent and cute aura.
When she reached the perimeter of the villa, the girl stopped. Then, she looked around to make sure that no one was nearby. Her small head swayed, and her ears instantly turned into black leopard ears, while her nose turned into a black leopard nose.
Then, without hesitation, she dropped to her belly, lowered her head, stuck out her butt, and sniffed around.
The silver moon was high in the sky. It shone down on her, forming a small shadow with a tail on the ground.
With her tail raised, she sniffed her way to a tree.
When she reached the tree, she stood up and hesitated for two seconds, tilting her head to look at it. Then, she picked up the pumpkin hammer that was bigger than she was and hammered it three times at the tree.
The tree snapped. The girl stood confidently in front of it with her hands on her hips and her slender black leopard tail raised.
…
…
A minute later…
A cool breeze blew past. The girl scratched her furry ears in confusion. “Huh? Is this the wrong tree?”
The fallen tree was silent.
The girl stamped her foot angrily, then raised her nose again and sniffed. This time she chose a tree on the right, then began to smash it again…
A moment later, the tree lit up with a faint glow. It parted to the left and right, revealing a huge arena inside.
There were a few uniformed men working nervously in the arena.
In the middle of the venue, Bai Zhi, the beautiful woman Fang Ze had seen earlier in the day, was sitting elegantly on the sofa, looking at Fang Ze’s image on the screen.
When the girl saw Bai Zhi, a cute smile appeared on her face. Then, she retracted her leopard characteristics and skipped into the secret place.
Behind her, the light dissipated, the tree closed, and moonlight poured down onto the quiet clearing. It was as if nothing had happened. Only the unlucky tree at the side lay on the ground with fallen leaves…
When she arrived at the secret place, the girl saluted Bai Zhi and said happily, “Sister Bai, I followed your request and visited the slums where Fang Ze lives.”
“It’s as you would expect. He’s changed remarkably from his old self.”
As she spoke, the girl took out a document from thin air and handed it to Bai Zhi. “This is the testimony from everyone I investigated.”
Bai Zhi took the materials. She looked down at it and scanned the contents.
After a moment, she looked up and asked softly, “Is there anyone close to him in the slums?”
Her voice was soft and velvety, as if a kitten had reached out a meaty paw and was gently tickling one’s heart.
The girl nodded. “Yes!”
“There’s a neighbor who is around his age. She’s a girl who lives alone and has a hard life.”
“That girl seemed to have been indebted to his family before. Then, after his parents died, although the girl herself was in danger, she still helped him from time to time.”
“However, the original him seems to have a strong ego, so he often didn’t accept her help. In fact, he even hit that girl. He’s simply a scumbag…”
Bai Zhi nodded and said, “In that case, find a chance in the next two days to arrange for them to meet and see the effects.”
The girl clearly did not understand Bai Zhi’s idea, so she tilted her head in confusion and asked, “Sister Bai, why are you investigating these and arranging for them to meet?”
At this point, she paused and said, “Besides, you even took the initiative to show up and meet with that suspect today. How strange…”
Bai Zhi did not answer her question directly. Instead, she looked at the screen in front of her and spoke.
“I’ve been reading Wang Hao’s daily reports for a while. I paid attention to his reports today. He doesn’t think Fang Ze looks like a criminal…”
The girl looked surprised at Bai Zhi’s words. “He doesn’t look like a criminal? Could he have been planted?!”
Then, she quickly shook her head. “That can’t be right. He had the logo of that organization on him, and in the subsequent investigation, we found evidence that he was transmitting intelligence.”
“In addition, there’s other supplementary information. If he’s really a planted spy, this plan was really too seamless, right?”
Bai Zhi chuckled at the girl’s words.
Then, she tapped the girl’s forehead and said, “Silly girl. Of course there can’t be such a seamless thing, so he must be a member of that organization.”
Upon hearing Bai Zhi’s answer, the girl was even more puzzled. She couldn’t help but ask, “Then…”
Bai Zhi didn’t answer. With a smile on her lips, she looked at Fang Ze’s image on the surveillance screen in front of her and then brought up the previous topic.
“Earlier, you asked me why I went to see him today.”
“Don’t you think there’s something wrong with him today?”
The girl blinked in confusion. “Huh? Something wrong?”
Bai Zhi said softly, “He suddenly stopped solving cases and started coming into contact with the people from the task force one by one.”
“Why do you think he did that?”
As she spoke, she looked at Fang Ze’s image in the surveillance camera. Her beautiful face had a faint smile, as if she had seen a very interesting prey…
…
Meanwhile, in the Late-Night Investigation Room.
After the initial shock, the “mysterious man” Fang Ze finally calmed down gradually.
At this moment, he was no longer relaxed or at ease.
Was he really a criminal?
Then, were the 20 or so senior agents, official agents, and trainee agents in the task force all acting along with him to get information?
What the hell was this?
Was this The Truman Show?
Furthermore… Most importantly, he didn’t even notice it from the beginning to the end?!
Thinking about how he had always felt that his colleagues loved him and cared about him more than the case, Fang Ze couldn’t help but feel embarrassed!
He was truly a fool…
At this moment, he only wanted to quickly take out his phone, take a photo, and post it on his WeChat Moments to suppress his shock.
Oh. Were there no WeChat Moments in this world? Furthermore, low-leveled cities had no mobile phones either.
In that case.
Danger…
…
While the “mysterious man” Fang Ze was letting his imagination run wild, Wang Hao was actually feeling a little uneasy.
After all, since he’d told the story, the mysterious man in front of him seemed to have fallen asleep. He said nothing. He didn’t move.
Previously, the mysterious man would show an attitude from time to time, but now… There was no reaction.
Furthermore what made Wang Hao even more uneasy was that the pet of the mysterious man, the terrifying creature of disaster. He didn’t know what had happened, but suddenly it was as if its eyes had lost their focus, and its body had started to distort…
Wang Hao didn’t know what was going on. He just stood there in a daze, his forehead already dripping with sweat…
Just as he was feeling uneasy, the mysterious man Fang Ze regained his senses.
He noticed the abnormality immediately, so he followed Wang Hao’s gaze and saw the young dragon under his feet.
In that instant, he thought, “Oh no”.
Although he could adjust the layout and furnishings of the Late-Night Investigation Room, he did not have the ability to summon supernatural creatures.
Therefore, the “young dragon” in front of him was actually just a carefully made replica doll. It was completely empty. Fang Ze had to operate it the entire time to make it lifelike.
Furthermore, just now, Fang Ze was too shocked and forgot to operate the young dragon, which made it slip up.
In that instant, Fang Ze’s mind raced.
A moment later, he made his decision!
…
At this moment, Wang Hao was getting more and more anxious.
He stood there with his head lowered, but he kept sneaking glances at the horrible disaster creature out of the corner of his eye.
He realized that the horrible disaster creature was getting stranger and stranger. Its body was beginning to twist into a ball. Its neck was twitching. Its bloody mouth was opening and closing. Its eyes were bulging, as if it was experiencing some kind of pain…
Just when he didn’t know exactly what had happened.
Suddenly, he heard a soft sigh. “Sigh… I failed again. It seems that creating disaster creatures isn’t that simple…”
Startled, Wang Hao looked up at the mysterious man.
The mysterious man was shrouded in a thin fog, his expression unreadable. Slowly, he raised his hand and slapped it downwards.
There was a splat!
Then, the terrifying disaster creature in front of him was slapped into a pool of blood and exploded on the pure white luxurious carpet…
