8:20 a.m.

Jiang Fan yawned. He had saved the president of Kaitian Pharmaceuticals after 1 a.m. last night, and he still had to go to work at 9 a.m. today.

The notice said he was going on a mission, which was his first official job, so he had to take it seriously.

After finishing my mission, I stopped by to see Han Yi, though I don't know where she was assigned.

Logically, such wounded soldiers shouldn't be required to return to work so quickly, but if there's a severe shortage of manpower, that's a different story.

Yesterday, he played [Guardian Knight] and saved the game. The first time, he wasn't paying attention and was ambushed by the bodyguard next to him, who slit Li Yinan's throat.

The second time, it was flawless, leaving no room for error.

Currently, it seems that as long as it's something you control manually, the timeline won't overlap with reality.

Only when you achieve your perfect save file will you enter the real-world timeline.

That's the greatest charm of video game consoles, isn't it? You can make many mistakes, but your enemy only has one chance to win.

As for Li Xiuyi, he was teleported back to his dormitory.

While eating steamed buns, Jiang Fan rushed to the vicinity of the 11th Bureau by subway.

As soon as he pushed open the door to the first ward, he heard the people inside say something.

"The people from 'Divine Tower' showed up last night, two of them."

"Yes, the Ninth Inning went to set up a blockade. It's a pity I was on vacation last night and didn't have a chance to see it with my own eyes."

Li Chengfeng and He Shui sighed to each other; they had been on leave recently and missed last night's operation.

The name of the Divine Tower has now spread throughout the Ninth Division, and everyone has high expectations for this seemingly neutral organization.

"Director Xiao also mentioned in the meeting this morning that the girl is most likely a true knight of Europe. He told us to look through some European history books recently. I think she is one of the Knights of the Round Table from King Arthur."

Wang Tianming sat in the main seat, looking at the e-book in his hand.

This is a special tablet for the Eleventh Bureau to collect global historical myths. Apart from some extremely rare books, the legends of other major regions are categorized so that the Eleventh Bureau can deduce the sequence behind them based on the abilities of the sequencers.

"Could it be King Arthur himself?"

Li Chengfeng suddenly spoke up.

"It's unlikely. Although King Arthur is fictional in history, his true form has become a pan-European spiritual totem since its creation, and he is famous overseas. The strength of his willpower is almost among the top tier of mythology. If that girl were King Arthur, the Tribunal would probably be in Tianhai by now. They have been looking for that Knight King all along."

Wang Tianming rejected Li Chengfeng's speculation, and then saw Jiang Fan standing at the door.

"Jiang Fan is here? Have a seat. This is the agenda for this morning's meeting. Take a look, and you can also give your opinion."

Wang Tianming spoke calmly, acknowledging that his team did indeed need an appraiser.

Although this general sequence only has two levels, its advantage lies in its ability to lock onto anomalies and its expertise in finding relics, making it a highly necessary talent for the containment team.

Jiang Fan greeted everyone before sitting down and turning on the tablet on his seat.

He truly didn't expect that the people in the eleventh round would actually deduce that Rias was part of the [King Arthur] sequence.

In the eyes of many, this is probably the pinnacle of knighthood: Arthur Pendragon, revered as the King of Knights.

His birth occurred when mythology receded and history emerged, inheriting the spirits and magicians of Celtic mythology... and initiating the history of Britain.

However, it does not exist in itself. It is merely a collection of British kings from the fourth to the sixth centuries AD who fought against the Saxons. The shadow of history overlaps with the eternal wish for peace, which ultimately led to the kingship sequence of [King Arthur].

But in reality, Rias isn't that strong at all. Her early performance was entirely due to her ability to withstand attacks, which is a characteristic of the "Knight" class combined with the protection of the cross given to her by Alice.

Jiang Fan remembered that he had specifically looked up Rias's stats after her advancement last night.

He could be considered a small hexagonal warrior, but King Arthur is undoubtedly a large hexagon, the kind that's completely enclosed.

Looking at this morning's meeting summary, the first thing mentioned was the discovery last night that a second member of the Divine Tower organization had appeared, as well as the various infectious diseases that have been spreading in Tianhai City since the day before yesterday.

That time point seems to be when I accepted the [Pale Knight] quest.

Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed, and he continued reading. This matter originated from him, so naturally he had to find a way to resolve it.

The people of Tianhai City are not the fuel for the myth's revival; they are steamed buns, sweet porridge... and the bright lights that illuminate the night.

To obtain a mythical sequence, one can pay a price, but it must be within acceptable limits.

The earliest record is...

A large-scale food poisoning incident occurred at Tianhai High School, with hundreds of students sent to the hospital; frozen meat in the freezer showed signs of rotting.

The time was this morning, when the students were having breakfast.

Logically, most students eat breakfast off-campus, while those on campus are mostly boarding students. However, this large-scale food poisoning did not discriminate between boarding and non-boarding students; even students who ate at breakfast shops were affected.

That means it's not just a problem within the school.

Jiang Fan thought of the plague-like phenomenon lurking in Li Xiuyi's school... Could it be that the kid was just unlucky because it was his school?

But if that's the case, things will be much easier.

"Jiang Fan, you'll go with Cheng Feng to Tianhai High School later to investigate if there's anything strange going on."

After discussing the matter, Wang Tianming began assigning tasks.

"We just received news from Kaitian Pharmaceuticals that the mysterious silver-haired girl will protect her in advancing a special drug. Ah Shui, come with me to make contact and see if there's any special reason behind it."

"The others will go to their respective areas to investigate the situation according to the locations I have assigned, and act according to their abilities if they encounter anything strange."

Wang Tianming's words made the other nine people in the room stand up.

But just as everyone was about to leave, the door was pushed open by a soft, fair arm.

"Excuse me, is Jiang Fan here?"

Han Yi, like a little deer, peeked out from behind the door with her lovely brown eyes.

"Your girlfriend?"

Liu Shui suddenly said something next to Jiang Fan, and then inexplicably started dripping water from his body.

No, no.

Jiang Fan waved his hands repeatedly, he really didn't expect Han Yi to suddenly come looking for him.

"I remember you're Han Yi from the Third Containment Team? Old Chen now has a Night Watchman under his command."

Wang Tianming looked at the list of newcomers for this season and immediately recognized Han Yi.

I have to say the girl is very beautiful even in photos, and she looks like a fairy in real life. She left a deep impression on me.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Fan walked over from his seat. He felt like a star playing a civil servant in a film studio, while Han Yi was a friend visiting the set.

"Hmph, I always said your congee with preserved egg and lean pork isn't as good as mine. I made you a serving, have a taste."

Han Yi took out a thermos from his pocket.

"It's not just this incident; we've traced the source of many infectious diseases to Tianhai High School, and we'd like to ask you to come and take a look."

The black door was pushed open completely, revealing two beautiful women who were pleasing to the eye.

Lu Xia changed into the eleventh bureau's black uniform today. The women's version is slightly different, seemingly inspired by the Chinese Tang suit, but the lower half has been significantly modified to be more suitable for combat.

Jiang Fan felt the resentful and envious looks from his colleagues and accepted the insulated box from Han Yi.
