This actor is full of tricks.

"So you mean, the Temple of Nothingness has appeared in Taining?" Chen Fu suppressed his grief. He had never seen the temple with his own eyes, but had only heard bits and pieces from the older generation of investigators. Even those bits and pieces were enough for him to deeply and clearly understand the terror of the temple.

If that temple were still in Jiangdong Province, without the help of headquarters, the entire Jiangdong region would become a living hell.

"Hmm." Bai Yao nodded, his tone heavy: "That temple appeared in the capital of Taining Province. As soon as it appeared, it stirred up the most terrifying and bizarre riot. A wicked Buddha wearing a blood-red robe walked out of the temple. His resentment wiped out an entire block, and tens of thousands of people lost their lives as a result. When the director of the provincial capital's inspection department went to deal with it, he was converted by that wicked Buddha."

The combination of "evil Buddha" and "taking refuge" is not a good thing.

"That director was transformed into a ghost. A living person was turned into a ghost just like that."

Seemingly sensing that Chen Fu couldn't understand, Bai Yao offered a further explanation.

"Hiss." Chen Fu completely understood the meaning of those words. He gasped in disbelief, "To directly turn even fifth-tier experts into monsters... that Evil Buddha's strength..."

“That’s right, the Extremely Evil Ferocious is the first Extremely Evil Ferocious to be fully exposed to the world.” Bai Yao nodded emphatically.

No wonder!
No wonder a king would stay in Taining Province; only a king could stand against such an extremely vicious and wicked person.

"So what exactly is the situation with Wushi Temple?" Chen Fu asked. He had also looked up the information back then, but his access was insufficient. Even now that he is the vice minister, he cannot find any information from that time.

All information about Wushi Temple has been blocked.

“Actually, I’m not quite sure either. With my limited access, I can’t see the complete information, only some fragmented pieces.” Bai Yao shrugged and lowered his voice: “According to unreliable sources, that temple may be related to the birth of the mist.”

"What!!!" Chen Fu suddenly stood up.

"Don't get so agitated. I've only heard some rumors and have no way of verifying their authenticity. According to those who survived the raid, some ancient scriptures were found at the site where the temple disappeared."

"It contains some very strange writing, such as 'Sea of ​​Fog,' 'The Final Path of All Beings,' and 'God of the Underworld.'"

"To be honest, I don't understand what these things mean either."

Sea of ​​Fog, the final destination of all living beings, the god of the underworld?

Chen Fu pondered the words, but found no clue. He paused for a moment and said, "I remember there was an old Taoist priest in Jiuyuan, wasn't there? He was the one the Inspectorate rescued from that temple. Didn't he know these things either?"

"I already said that I've only heard about it, and its authenticity remains to be verified. Besides, even if it were true, what information did headquarters get from that old Taoist priest? Do you and I, with our positions, have the right to know?" Bai Yao gave a wry smile.

“That’s true.” Chen Fu lit another cigarette and stared at Bai Yao: “Hey Lao Bai, now that we’ve finished talking, shouldn’t you be leaving? Or are you going to sleep with me?”

"Get lost!" Bai Yao punched Chen Fu. "The situation at headquarters is special right now. You have to understand. Once headquarters has the time, they will naturally go after that hospital."

"By the time they're free, it'll be too late. If there's really no other way, I'll go in and look for them myself when the fog rolls in again." Chen Fu said expressionlessly. He'd been made to wait since the incident, but could he afford to wait? Could those investigators who were caught up in the hospital afford to wait?

"I understand how you feel, but you also have to trust headquarters. They have their own considerations." Bai Yao didn't know how to persuade Chen Fu anymore. He also had his own grievances, but as a minister, he could only keep some things to himself.

Captain Wang was awakened by the smell of disinfectant. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the glaring incandescent light and the snow-white ceiling.

Where is this place?
He hadn't yet come to his senses; the last fragment of his memory was of everything he could see freezing in place, then a black chain magnifying before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his forehead. "I'm dead!?"

The memories in his mind made him sit up abruptly. He felt a slight chill on the back of his hand. When he saw his surroundings, he was slightly taken aback. This place seemed to be a hospital.

The IV drip next to him was still running, and because of his earlier movements, the needle in his hand was starting to draw blood back.

"I'm not dead?"

He touched his face, and the warm touch made him breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't know why the chained monster had let him go.

The door was pushed open at that moment, and an old man dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, walked in. He glanced at him and smiled, "You're awake."

"Master Zhang, have I fainted?" Upon seeing the old Taoist priest, Captain Wang finally realized that he was safe. He completely relaxed and slumped against the wall.

"Yes, we found you and the other team members in the stairwell on the seventeenth floor and brought you to the hospital. You've been unconscious for two days." The old Taoist priest sat down in the adjacent chair. "Does the bump on your forehead still hurt?"

A bump on the forehead?
Captain Wang was taken aback. He reached out and touched his head, finding a huge bump on his head. The touch made him gasp in pain.

"By the way, what about that streamer?" Captain Wang suddenly remembered Lin Jue.

"I don't know. We didn't see any trace of him, and the blood and flesh room in the live stream has also disappeared." Master Zhang shook his head. "Speaking of which, the other live stream room was blocked. What exactly happened after you went in?"

Was the streamer left in the flesh and blood room?

Captain Wang recalled that Lin Jue had already fainted at the time and might not have escaped at all. But if the streamer didn't come out, then who brought them out?
Is that chain strange?

Many questions arose in Captain Wang's mind. He always felt that there was more to the story and that the anchor was not as simple as he seemed.

"Captain Wang?" The old Taoist priest flicked his whisk and waved it in front of Captain Wang.

"Oh, oh." Captain Wang recounted everything that had happened in the flesh and blood room.

“Cultists, Father, two suddenly appearing ghosts, the underworld…”

The old Taoist priest silently processed this information. After a long while, a smile returned to his face: "You did a good job on this. You didn't embarrass yourselves online."

"Oh, right, there's something else I need to give you."

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest took out a certificate of merit from his pocket: "This is an award given by Director Xiao to your Tie Ning team."

The certificate reads: "A Model for Jiangdong, a Force for Justice."

Below is the headquarters' official stamp.

"Wait, wait!" Captain Wang stared blankly at the certificate. He remembered that the anchor had said he would give him a certificate, and damn it, a certificate actually came?
But why do those eight characters on the certificate look so strange?
Seeing the certificate reminded him of the streamer's sarcastic remarks, and he was instantly furious, wanting nothing more than to tear the certificate to shreds. (End of Chapter)
