Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

On the way, Leng Lingling held Mo Xie's hand, recalling the enviable scene from earlier. She pouted her cherry lips, puffed out her cheeks, and whispered.

"What's there to be proud of? I'll grow to that level someday too."

After speaking, she looked down and saw that the lotus leaves were indeed just beginning to emerge, but her exquisite little leather shoes were still clearly visible.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie's eyes twitched a few times. He looked speechlessly at Leng Lingling, who was acting like a child, and muttered to himself.

He's still just a kid...

He then released her soft, delicate hand and instead placed it on her head, vigorously rubbing it until her hair was somewhat disheveled.

"Hey, stop it! You've messed up my hair!"

Leng Lingling called out, pried open the hands that were playing tricks on her head, and tidied her delicate pigtails.

"Alright, I said I'd make it up to you. I'll take on a few more bounties after we get back to Shanghai, okay? Let's focus on this plague for now. Tell me about the clues you have."

Mo Xie shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's more like it. Then it's settled."

Upon hearing this, Leng Lingling gave a soft snort, a cute smile appearing on her pretty face. She then took out her mini laptop, flipped through its contents, and spoke quickly.

"Yes, I was actually involved in this matter before. About two months ago, my sister asked me to investigate a batch of government blood serum. This blood serum was supplied to various post stations, military defense lines, and fortresses in Zhejiang Province."

“As you know, countless people are injured every year when fighting demons. Hunters spend a fifth of their income on blood potions to prevent dying from blood loss after being injured while hunting. These blood potions are also in high demand at post stations, fortifications, and strongholds…”

Blood transfusion is a very common and very expensive medicine whose main function is to transport blood.

Since healing mages are few in number, not everyone can receive treatment from them. This is where the potions developed by healing mages become especially important, with blood potions being the most consumed type.

After taking the blood-purging potion orally, the mages' blood-producing function will be enhanced dozens of times in a short period of time. Many obvious external injuries can be healed in a short time as long as the blood-purging potion is taken and the wound is bandaged. As long as there is no infection, the wound will heal in a short time.

Blood potions are rather expensive, and mages fighting in the field spend a portion of their income on them, while blood potion suppliers are incredibly wealthy.

"What's wrong with the blood serum?"

Mo Fan, standing to the side, scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Leng Lingling rolled her eyes at him and explained.

"The blood serum is made from the blood of demons. The entire refining process requires strict supervision. After production, it needs to undergo several tests before it is distributed to various supply stations. It is either provided to the military, sold to hunter mages, or used by merchants who continue to profit from the price difference... My sister found out that someone used something else to replace the legitimate blood serum in the production of the blood serum, resulting in a batch of problematic blood serum."

"A heartless businessman?"

Mo Fan frowned, somewhat surprised.

"The blood serum has always been controlled by the Magic Association, and the government also controls a portion of it. If it were made by businessmen, it would be easier to deal with. So, you see... there are corrupt officials within the Magic Association and the government!"

Listening to Leng Lingling's description, Mo Xie nodded and said.

“I visited Whitetown before. After the outbreak of the plague, a lockdown policy was quickly implemented, and some goods and cargo were not allowed to be transported. Perhaps there is something unknown hidden in it.”

The three of them immediately headed to Bai Town. The blood bank in Bai Town was located in a military compound. With the permission granted by Tang Zhong, they changed their clothes and swaggered in.

Mo Xie remembered that when he came to Baizhen to observe before, there were quite a few people guarding this military compound. However, since the White Demon Eagle Legion attacked Hangzhou, many guards have been transferred to the Anjie border, and this place is obviously somewhat empty.

After showing their permissions, the three were allowed in. Soon, they found some people wearing white protective suits in a warehouse. They were busily moving around in the blood serum warehouse, as if they were moving something.

Just as they were observing, a voice suddenly rang out, revealing a hint of anger in its tone.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a man in a military mage's uniform standing outside the warehouse gate, pointing angrily at the guards in white protective suits and shouting, "Many people have been injured at the front lines. We were ordered to come here to collect blood serum. Since you've stockpiled a warehouse full of blood serum here, why don't you just let us take it away!"

The guards, dressed in white protective suits, spread their arms to block the military mages outside, speaking in a very firm tone.

"I've already told you, what's in the warehouse isn't blood serum. The frontline supplies you need have already been delivered to you!"

Upon hearing this, the officer glared and retorted righteously.

"Do you think I'm blind? I've been in the military and as a doctor for so many years, do you think I wouldn't recognize this kind of blood serum? Are you unscrupulous merchants deliberately hoarding it, planning to make a fortune when the White Eagle Legion attacks?!"

The guard was so angry that his cheeks turned red, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.

"I'm telling you not to make false accusations here. We're just following orders."

"Hmph, following orders? You lackeys have quite the nerve!"

At this moment, a tall man with a black beard stepped forward. Judging from the medals on his body, he was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He pointed at the guard in front of him and shouted angrily.

"You've been hoarding vital strategic materials without authorization. Today, I'll remove this entire warehouse of blood serum and see who dares to mess with my Mingkuo Military Intelligence Bureau... Men, remove all the blood serum from this warehouse!"

The guards outside were quite assertive and even had a certain air of authority when facing the officers, but they instantly lost their confidence when they saw a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau appear.

That Mingkuo military commander was also domineering; he led a group of military mages and kicked open the warehouse without saying a word.

The door opened, and bottles of white blood serum were neatly arranged in the warehouse, each bottle containing drops of bright red blood that emitted a peculiar luster.

"Tell me, what else could this be but a blood serum?!"

Ming Kuo, a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, pointed at the boxes of blood serum in the warehouse and roared angrily.

"These……"

Upon realizing he had been discovered, the guard's face turned even uglier, and he remained speechless for a long time.

"Shut up! If you dare say another word, believe me, I'll wipe you out right now! Our soldiers on the front lines are fighting a bloody battle, and you bastards dare to delay military supplies!"

Ming Kuo, a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, waved his hand dismissively, too lazy to listen to this guy's ramblings, and roared angrily.

The guards dared not utter another word, except for a military doctor who looked like he had a pointed mouth, who spoke with a smile.

"You may take them if you wish, but please allow me to inform Vice Judge Wang Yi that these supplies belong to the Magic Association and the Inquisition, and the proper procedures still need to be followed..."

"You think you can intimidate me by bringing out a deputy presiding judge?!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Ming Kuo gave a disdainful sneer. With a wave of his hand, he gave the sharp-tongued military doctor no room for discussion and directly ordered his men to move the supplies.

The military mages were in large numbers, and although the guards were also numerous, they did not dare to openly confront the army. As they watched the blood serum being transported away box after box from the entire warehouse, the guards in white protective suits looked at each other with some anxiety and unease.

A guard approached the sharp-mouthed medic, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, clearly somewhat flustered, and asked in a low voice.

"We...what should we do next?"

"What can we do? We should report this to Vice Judge Wang Yi immediately!"

The sharp-tongued medic's face grew even uglier. He strode to a corner and hurriedly dialed a number. Judging from his panicked appearance, something terrible was clearly going to happen.

Deputy Judge Wang Yi had just issued the order, and less than a day later, this happened. They will be severely punished! (End of Chapter)
