Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms

Chapter 159: New Department, and Confession
"The castle is empty."

Zhou Yan was silent for a moment. He came up with this guess after he discovered the situation in Yicheng.

But when I knew the exact situation, I was still speechless.

Although he had little experience in government or the workplace, he knew that someone had to be held accountable this time.

The incident was so serious that even Pavilion Master Cong Shiyun might be
Chu Wan shook her head: "Although I have only been in the Demon Extermination Department of Yicheng for three months, I must take responsibility. I will probably not be able to be the director of this department anymore."

She looked at Zhou Yan seriously: "After this incident, it is expected that the new organization that Suzaku Palace has been preparing to establish will be accelerated. I have some connections at the headquarters and may be assigned to work there. Zhou Yan, I think you have great potential. Would you consider coming with me?"

"A new organization?" Zhou Yan looked puzzled. "What does it do?"

"The name of the agency has not been decided yet. Its main duties are similar to those of the Demon Exorcism Department, but there are slight differences. It is an independent department that specializes in dealing with special abnormal rifts and evil organizations."

"Directly under the jurisdiction of Suzaku Palace Headquarters," she added.

At this time, Luo Xuan and Luo Ke next to them had calmed down, tidied their appearance and came over.

Luo Xuan's expression changed when she heard what Chu Wan said. She looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Seeing Luo Xuan's expression, Chu Wan couldn't help but giggle. She said slowly, "Xiao Xuan, it's rare to see you look so sad."

Luo Xuan glared at her and said nothing.

Chu Wan put her arm around the girl's shoulders and said, "I never said I would take your Zhou Yan away alone. Xiaoxuan, you have to come too."

"Let's go to the new department together. I, I need to think about it." Luo Xuan said hesitantly, but her face no longer had the depressed look she had when she questioned Zhou Yan just now.

"Don't be in a hurry. It will probably take some time to set up the new department. You can still consider it for a few days." Chu Wan patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder.

At this time, a staff member trotted over to Chu Wan and said, "Director Chu, Elder Zhang and Pavilion Master Cong invite you to attend the remote emergency meeting organized by the headquarters."

"Here I am. I will be held accountable." Chu Wan smiled bitterly and nodded to Zhou Yan and the other two. "I'll go first and tell you the results of the meeting later."

"Xiao Xuan, I don't think you need to think too much about it." Chu Wan turned around and smiled before leaving. "The new department's daily work location is in Xingdu, where Suzaku Palace is located. It is also the city where your sister Suzaku University is located. Working there will allow you to take care of your sister while she goes to school. It is much more convenient than in Yicheng after all."

"Okay, Sister Chu Wan, I understand!" Luo Xuan was obviously moved when she heard the reasons Chu Wan gave.

Chu Wan smiled, turned around and left neatly.

The remaining Zhou Yan and the two sisters looked at each other.

Zhou Yan was the first to ask Luo Xuan: "Is Xiaoxuan injured this time?"

Luo Xuan shook her head silently: "I have been defending the monsters with Sister Chu Wan at the exit of the rift. We have basically no chance to attack, so how can we talk about getting hurt? But you."

She looked at Zhou Yan seriously: "You saved Xiao Ke, I, I..."

Luo Xuan was speechless for a long time, and felt a sense of fear in his heart.

If Zhou Yan had not responded to her unfounded anxiety without hesitation, and had chosen to leave the rift without authorization, taking the risk of being accused of "deserting the battlefield", it is very likely that Luo Ke would have been like the other members of the Lihuo Pavilion who died.
If that really happened, she would be left with no relatives in this world and wouldn't know how to go on living.

Thinking of this, the usually cold girl felt a little frightened.

"There's no need to talk about this between us anymore. It was Xiao Ke who took me in and prevented me from living on the streets." Zhou Yan smiled lightly and looked at Luo Ke.

Luo Ke made a cute face at him.

Then, the ghost spirit took a few steps forward and pushed Luo Xuan into Zhou Yan's arms: "Instead of talking so much, why not give me a hug."

"Xiao Ke, what are you doing?" Luo Xuan scolded with a red face.

(▼へ▼)
She could obviously easily resist her sister's strength, but she chose not to resist and half-pushed and half-shrunk into Zhou Yan's arms.

Then Zhou Yan hugged her without any hesitation.

"Hehe, sister, you don't understand. This is to celebrate our safe and happy reunion." Luo Ke said with a smirk, then she crawled into Zhou Yan's arms and stretched out her arms to hug them both.

The scene was somewhat warm for a moment.

About two hours later, Zhou Yan, who was waiting in the temporarily cleared public lounge, received a notice asking him to go to the meeting room.

He followed the staff to the conference room and saw three familiar people.

Zhang Daosheng, Cong Shiyun and Chu Wan, no one else.

The meeting had obviously ended, and I didn't know why he was called over.

Zhou Yan had some guesses in his mind and greeted the three people.

The three of them nodded gently at him.

"Zhou Yan, the main reason I asked you to come here is to express my gratitude to you." Zhang Daosheng said straight to the point.

"You may not know how important the Fire Sacrifice Order you recovered is." Although his face was dark, he still showed a gentle smile when looking at Zhou Yan.

"Especially if the Fire Worship Society really gets hold of this thing, it could cause huge troubles that are difficult to resolve later on."

Zhang Daosheng is now extremely grateful that when he first met this kid, he did not capture or kill him as planned.

Is it true that everything is determined by a certain outcome?
"After talking for so long." Zhou Yan looked curious, "Who among you can tell me what the Fire Sacrifice Order is used for?"

Zhang Daosheng shook his head. "You don't need to know too much. Simply put, this token is related to the totem symbol of the Suzaku Palace, the Suzaku. There is only one token in the secret vault of each of the six main cities under the Suzaku Star and its jurisdiction. Each one is very important. If any one of them is lost, it will be destroyed."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a female voice coming from the speakers. The voice sounded hot and explosive, as if it could make people imagine the image of its owner.

"If any one of them is lost, it will be enough to force the Palace Master, who has been in seclusion for almost five years, to come out and personally hold him accountable."

Zhou Yan glanced at the speaker curiously and looked at Zhang Daosheng with an inquiring look.

Zhang Daosheng smiled slightly and said, "This is one of the three elders of our Suzaku Palace, and also the youngest one. He is known as the 'Red Lord', Chu Changying."

"Chu" When Zhou Yan heard the surname, he glanced at Chu Wan who was standing beside him and smiling.

The other person winked at him meaningfully.

As if to say - yes, this is my sister's backstage.

Then, the voice of Elder Chijun came out again from the speakers: "Zhou Yan, I won't say any more nonsense. This time, Yicheng was attacked. Not only will Cong Shiyun be held accountable and dismissed, but my niece will no longer be the director of the Demon Exorcism Department. You and her should come to the headquarters and be part of the new department I am in charge of."

There was an unquestionable arrogance in her voice, as if she was certain that no one could refuse any of her requests.

"This..." Zhou Yan looked at the three people present with some embarrassment.

As a result, except for Chu Wan who was watching the fun with a smile on her face, Zhang Daosheng and Cong Shiyun both nodded at him, indicating that he could agree.

"Why, you don't want to?" The female voice sounded again. Zhou Yan took a breath and smiled, "It's okay to go, but I hope to bring Luo Xuan with me."

"Luo Xuan?" The female voice paused for a moment. "She was my candidate disciple back then, but unfortunately she ran away. It just so happens that we can come together."

Is there such a thing?
Zhou Yan glanced at Chu Wan in confusion, as if he had realized something - no wonder Luo Xuan called Chu Wan "senior sister" when they met before, their relationship had this kind of origin.

At this time, Elder Chijun continued, "Okay, pack up these few days and come over quickly. I have something to do, so I'll hang up first."

Then there was silence.

Zhang Daosheng smiled and shook his head: "Chu Changying is not much older than you, and his personality is more straightforward. You will get used to it in the future."

Cong Shiyun also looked at Zhou Yan and said in a deep voice: "Elder Chijun is right. Such a big problem has occurred in Yicheng. As the Pavilion Master, I cannot escape the blame. After finishing the work, I will definitely be removed from the position of Pavilion Master and return to Suzaku Palace to serve in other second-tier positions. Zhou Yan, you have hit the jackpot this time and made great contributions in this incident. Go with Chu Wan to the new department headed by Elder Chijun to develop, and your future achievements will definitely be limitless."

He patted Zhou Yan's shoulder earnestly: "Don't linger in Yicheng, go to a better platform for development."

"Well, actually I don't miss Yicheng that much."

Zhou Yan secretly complained in his heart.

Strictly speaking, he has no sense of belonging to this world, nor to the Tianyuan Empire where he is now.

In this world, the only people he truly cares about are the two sisters from the Luo family who took him in when he was in the most miserable time after he came here.

As long as he can take care of the two sisters, it doesn't matter what environment he stays in.

So Zhou Yan nodded and accepted Cong Shiyun's advice, and then politely asked him: "Master Cong, if you retreat this time, where will you go?"

Cong Shiyun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, although this incident proves my lack of management ability, your uncle Cong has never achieved my current position by wisdom."

"This complicated position of being called Pavilion Master but actually serving as City Lord has delayed my cultivation for a long time. After I step down this time, I will go to the 'Military Department' that Elder Zhang is in charge of and shine again with my strength."

Sure enough, behind every big boss there is a corresponding big boss protecting him. With Zhang Daosheng behind him, Cong Shiyun will not be devastated even if he is dismissed from the position of Pavilion Master.

Now it seems that Zhang Daosheng, one of the three elders, and Chi Jun who just spoke, seem to have a good relationship.

Chu Wan can come to Yicheng, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Daosheng, to serve as the director of the Demon Extermination Department, and Zhang Daosheng is also willing to give up this "genius" of his to work under Elder Chijun.

Then he and Luo Xuan wouldn't have to worry about not being able to adapt to the new department.

After communicating with Zhang Daosheng, Cong Shiyun and Chu Wan about going to the new department.

Zhou Yan briefly reported to them the details of his operation.

Before this, he had already reorganized the entire "story" and the entire reporting process was quite smooth.

To put it simply, he left the rift and found that all his colleagues who came to support him had been killed. Then, realizing something was wrong, he immediately headed for Yicheng city.

Then he rescued Luo Ke, killed the secret vault thief, and finally chased and killed the lion man.

As for the lion man's true strength, he deliberately downplayed it a little in his description.

The final result was that the weakened Lion Man, after misjudging the strength of Zhou Yan's Shen Ji, fled dozens of kilometers outside the city, and was killed with difficulty by Zhou Yan, who was in sufficient condition, when he was exhausted.

It is completely consistent with what a genius who is a "mental supernormal" can do after possessing a "super magic machine".

The report, which was nine-tenths true and one-tenth false, did not arouse any suspicion from Zhang Daosheng and Cong Shiyun as long as the most important "Fire Sacrifice Order" was successfully retrieved.

Therefore, he was arranged to go home with Luo Xuan and Luo Ke to rest and wait for further notice.

*
night.

Under Luo Ke's organization, the three of them sat together in the living room.

Zhou Yan looked seriously at Luo Xuan, who was confused, and told the two girls the truth that he was not from this world.

After listening to Zhou Yan's confession, Luo Xuan did not ask immediately, but lowered his head and thought silently.

Luo Ke was also confused. She asked hesitantly, "Ah? So, Brother Zhou Yan, you are really a time traveler?"

"Strictly speaking, I don't know if I am a time traveler. I could also be an alien." Zhou Yan smiled helplessly.

"I thought you were fooling me. I would rather believe the reason you gave before about Emperor Yinglong having an illegitimate child." Luo Ke scratched his head.

"No, it's possible." Luo Xuan raised his head slightly and continued Luo Ke's words, "In fact, Zhou Yan's situation is not without precedent."

She looked at Zhou Yan seriously: "From ancient times to the present, since the appearance of the rift, there are many monsters that have descended from the rift into our world that look like humans. Zhou Yan may also be one of them."

"Uh" Zhou Yan opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

In fact, he felt that there was still some difference between himself and the "rift creatures".

The phenomenon of cracks seems to be a unique concept that only exists in this world.

Strictly speaking, the monsters that escaped into this world from the rift should be called "Adventurers" or something like that.

He is a real "traveler", and should be someone who traveled here from another parallel space or parallel universe.

However, when he thought that this matter was too troublesome to explain and was not the point that the three of them should communicate frankly, Zhou Yan gave up on making excuses.

Luo Xuan looked at Zhou Yan seriously: "Zhou Yan, I won't ask about other things. I just want to ask one thing."

Zhou Yan: "You ask."

Luo Xuan asked slowly: "Zhou Yan, was it you who saved me that day?"

"It's not me," Zhou Yan paused, then smiled slightly at the other party's stunned gaze, "Who else could it be?"

Luo Xuan was choked by Zhou Yan's heavy breathing and glared at him: "So, you have always been so strong? You were lying to us about learning swordsmanship in the sword hall before?"

Zhou Yan shook his head: "No, when I first came to this world, I was indeed an ordinary person. As for my strength, you can understand that my strength is gradually recovering. In fact, I may become stronger and stronger in the future."

He had no intention of revealing his identity as an "Order Walker", so he could only find an excuse instead.

Anyway, the two sisters just need to know his general situation and strength to avoid future suspicion.

"Getting stronger and stronger." Luo Xuan's eyes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the figure in red armor who saved him.

He can defeat the owner of the divine machine without using it, and now Zhou Yan also has the divine machine.

How terrifying is he when he uses his full strength?
