This actor is full of tricks.

Lin Jue returned to Sanjiang in the middle of the night. Huang Yong woke up once along the way, but he was still not rational and went berserk, trying to hit people. Lin Jue slapped him unconscious.

Lin Jue and Qian Hao exchanged contact information and got out of the three cars in front of the Inspection Department. Lie Zeng stood beside Huang Yong with one arm around him and another member with the other arm around him.

Looking up, Chen Fu's office light was still on. That guy was a workaholic; he often stayed in the office instead of going home.

Lin Jue sighed, holding Xu Xiaoqi's head in one arm and taking out his phone to call Chen Fu with the other.

"What do you want to do in the middle of the night?" Chen Fu's tone on the other end of the phone was a little unpleasant.

Lin Jue gripped his phone tightly, unsure how to begin. Only after Chen Fu impatiently called "hello" several times did he finally speak in a hoarse voice, "Captain... I've brought the person back..."

"People? Who?" Chen Fu on the other end was still confused, but he quickly realized what was going on and his tone became agitated: "Where are you now?"

"It's right in Sanjiang... right in front of the Inspection Department." Lin Jue looked up and saw Chen Fu sticking his head out of the window.

Then, he saw Chen Fu's impatient expression gradually stiffen, and he dropped his phone.

Lin Jue hurriedly hung up the phone, took Chen Fu's phone, and looked up again to find that Chen Fu had disappeared.

A few minutes later, the doors of the Inspection Department opened, and Chen Fu, covered in sweat, leaned against the door frame, his eyes fixed on the head in Lin Jue's hand.

"What happened!?" His eyes were bloodshot. This was a teammate who had risked his life with him. After going missing, he met him again in this state. You can imagine how he felt.

"I'm sorry," Lin Jue said in a low voice, recounting the battle.

After listening, Chen Fu didn't say a word. He staggered forward and reached out as if to take Xu Xiaoqi's head, but his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he withdrew them as if he had been electrocuted halfway through.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he staggered and sat down on the ground. The deputy minister could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

Lin Jue sat silently to one side, holding Xu Xiaoqi's head. His mood was also extremely heavy. Chen Fu and Xu Xiaoqi had been together day and night, going through life and death together. Their friendship was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. Only he knew the pain in his heart.

All he can do now is stay by the side of this distraught man and quietly wait for him to finish venting.

After a long while, Chen Fucai shakily took out a cigarette from his bag. He tried to light it with a lighter, but his fingers kept slipping off the button uncontrollably, and he couldn't light it no matter how many times he tried.

Lin Jue extended a finger, raised a small flame, and lit the cigarette.

"Thank you." Chen Fu's eyes were red as he took a deep drag of his cigarette, but he was quickly choked and bent over, coughing violently until his face turned red. The tears he had managed to stop came out again.

Lin Jue patted the other person's back gently and asked, "Does Xiao Qi still have family? Should we tell his family about this?"

“Xiao Qi is an orphan. He has no family.” Chen Fu stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette on the ground. “His parents committed suicide by jumping off a building when he was in high school because of debts, leaving him all alone.” “I was doing the cleanup work for the strange incident nearby at the time. I happened to run into debt collectors who wanted to drag him into a van. I saved him and sponsored him to finish his schooling.”

"He joined the Inspection Department right after graduation, initially working as a clerk. Later, after illuminating the Spirit Realm in a fog, he joined the Nightshade Squad."

At this point, Chen Fu's voice trembled again: "But if I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have approved his application to join the Nightshade Squad."

Lin Jue didn't know what to say. After Chen Fu finished venting, he solemnly placed Xu Xiaoqi's head in his arms: "He must have joined the Investigation Department to repay your kindness. He died as an investigator and should be buried in the Investigation Department's cemetery."

As he spoke, he pointed to Huang Yong and the other man lying on the ground: "And them, their minds have been corrupted by that hospital, and their bodies have undergone strange changes. What do you think we should do?"

"Leave it all to me, I'll handle it." Chen Fu said in a hoarse voice, "It's the middle of the night, go back, you've had a hard time on this trip through the mist."

Lin Jue was still a little worried about Chen Fu's condition. After confirming several times that the other party had calmed down, he left, turning back every few steps.

Everything on Yangtao Street is normal, just like it used to be, a chaotic mess, where a group of eerie creatures are living with the vitality of real people.

Lin Jue asked the chef to cook him some late-night snacks, while he pulled up a stool and sat down, pondering whether to give He Wen and A Jin the Netherblood at this time.

He had previously considered trying to help He Wen and A Jin break through before taking on the six-star script, but this trip through the fog made him realize that Qin Lang had already returned, but had not yet made any moves because he was being secretly restrained by Number 1.

Qin Lang's return means that the mental hospital may no longer be able to hide like before. In the future, the mental hospital will definitely come looking for Lin Jue before he even has a chance to accept the script.

After all, Qin Lang had mentioned something about fruit. Although Lin Jue didn't quite understand what it meant, he knew that the other party regarded him as prey. And how could a qualified hunter easily let go of his prey?
He didn't know when the mental hospital would appear; it could be tomorrow, or it could be much longer. If He Wen and A Jin were to focus on digesting the Nether Blood during this time, it would be equivalent to losing two important combatants.

Lin Jue was caught in a dilemma when suddenly, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Lie Zeng playing mahjong with a bunch of weirdos not far away.

"Wait a minute, did I fall into a misconception before? I was always thinking about using Nether Blood to make an A-level monster break through to become an extremely vicious ferocious beast, but I never thought about having the original extremely vicious ferocious beast consume Nether Blood?"

He suddenly realized something and pulled Liezang over.

"Boss! My good fortune, you've ruined it again!" Lie Zeng was about to cry. Why is it so hard to win some money playing mahjong?
"Let me get down to business. Is the Dark Blood useful to you?"

Upon hearing Lin Jue's words, Lie Zeng shook his head decisively: "It's useless. The main function of the Netherblood is to help A-level monsters complete the leap in life. Once the life leap is completed, the strength will naturally increase as well."

"But I'm different. I'm already an extremely vicious monster. I don't need any leap. I can only slowly recover my strength."

"Besides, boss, if it were really useful, I would have asked you for it already." (End of Chapter)
