Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

Yes, that's exactly what puzzled Qi Xie.

Jiang Zhengyi did not reply to his message, but he still maintained uninterrupted contact with the Strange Special Operations Bureau.

Due to confidentiality requirements, they could only retrieve the most recent call record.

A voiceprint appeared on the monitor, followed by a clear female voice. It was the voice of the operator who was connecting with Jiang Zhengyi:

"Captain Jiang, please give us your routine report on the mission progress."

"I am Jiang Zhengyi. I am currently clearing out the enemy. I am in good condition. There are no casualties on our side. We are in a state of complete suppression of the enemy."

Jiang Zhengyi's voice came out without any sign of anything amiss.

"Received, Captain Jiang. Also, it will rain in the operational area soon, with light to moderate rain expected. Please take this into account when formulating the operational plan."

The female operator reminded her.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder. I'll slow down the pace of our encirclement and suppression efforts to prevent them from using the rain as cover for an ambush..."

Jiang Zhengyi hadn't finished speaking.

Qi Xie tapped the table, his tone resolute:

"It's fake, the person on the other end isn't Jiang Zhengyi."

Why?

The female captain of Guyuan City blurted out, her expression one of astonishment.

She knew Jiang Zhengyi, but only about his formidable strength; she was not familiar with the personality of this young genius.

Even so, she couldn't understand how her prepared three-minute conversation had been exposed as fake before she'd even heard twenty seconds of it!

What is the basis for this?

Qi Xie looked calmly at the astonished female captain and said logically and reasonedly:

"Knowing him as I do, rain won't hinder his performance; on the contrary, it will excite him even more. This kid will just hold his sword and strike a pose while hacking and slashing in the rain...emmm, the more enemies he faces, the more excited he gets, because that means more spectators."

For some reason, the female captain felt her toes digging into the floor.

"What...what kind of reason is this? It's utterly absurd!"

As the female captain of the Guyuan branch spoke, she glanced at Zhao Jian'an beside her with an unpleasant expression, meaning:

The people you brought! They're using such a bizarre excuse to fool us! Aren't you going to do anything about it?

Then Zhao Jian'an's expression remained normal, even somewhat solemn, as he said:

"That makes a lot of sense."

"..."

This……

The female captain of the Guyuan branch had a distorted expression.

Who are these people?

Are there any normal people left?

This is what they mean by birds of a feather flocking together?

But if you want to have a gathering, go to a mental hospital!

"This...this is absurd. I cannot make a judgment based on such reasons. I will report your judgment and reasoning to higher authorities, and we need someone who knows Captain Jiang better to make the final decision!"

The female captain of the Guyuan branch was clearly more meticulous and had better confidentiality than Jiang Zhengyi. She took out a special phone, walked to the side, and began to report to her superiors.

Qi Xie and Zhao Jian'an exchanged a glance, both sitting calmly and without the slightest impatience.

A moment later.

The female captain of the Guyuan branch returned with a numb expression.

Regarding Qi Xie and Zhao Jian'an's reasons and judgments, someone who "absolutely understands Jiang Zhengyi" spoke up, saying:

That makes sense.

The female captain of the Guyuan branch office twitched a few times, realizing she had forgotten...

Birds of a feather flock together.

"This is Captain Jiang's mission details."

With an attitude of not understanding but respect, the female captain of the Guyuan branch pulled up a confidential document from the monitor and showed it to everyone:

"The mission started at 4 PM the day before yesterday. We discovered a large branch stronghold of the Black Saints in Guying Town, Nanguan District."

"Um?"

Qi Xie's eyes flickered.

He hadn't heard his old nemesis's name for a while, and he never expected to meet him again during an official crackdown.

"Guying Town is built against the mountain. Due to the terrain, it is not possible to deploy heavy firepower. In other words, if the movement is too loud before the heavy weapons are in place, the enemy will definitely notice and alert them."

The female captain of the Guyuan branch continued:

"So we finally decided to deploy our three teams plus three action team leaders from the provincial bureau to carry out the cleanup. We arrived at 5 p.m. the day before yesterday and started the cleanup. The team leaders plus the three action team leaders have been in real-time contact with us to keep track of the mission progress."

So far, communications among the six individuals remain normal. The report states that the target area is large and the members are scattered, and they are steadily clearing it, which will likely take another day.

Qi Xie said calmly:

"Didn't you try contacting them through the Traveler System?"

"This...no...unless it's a live stream, the Walker System doesn't transmit images in real time, and if it's a live stream, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any leaks."

Furthermore, since system notifications appear instantly, it's difficult to guarantee that sending information won't affect people in the middle of a battle.

Therefore, we have always used conventional combat systems.

"The female captain of the Guyuan branch hesitated before speaking."

"You'd better give it a try. If I'm not mistaken, the Traveler System for all six of you should stop replying to messages."

Qi Xie replied.

The female captain of the Guyuan branch was also swift and decisive. Without delay, she contacted the liaisons of each captain by phone and quickly confirmed that what Qi Xie said was true.

Now, the situation is very clear.

The team sent to clean up Guying Town did indeed run into problems.

"Three operation leaders and three squads couldn't solve it?"

The female captain of the Guyuan branch frowned and whispered in confusion.

Qi Xie sat to the side with his arms crossed, appearing calm and unconcerned about getting involved.

He's already pointed out the situation; the rest is up to the Special Operations Bureau.

He believed that the Special Operations Bureau of the Unusual would not be unable to handle even this situation, and that there was definitely more than one top-level official traveler like the captain he met that night in Da Shen City.

By doing this, he could have the same goal of helping Jiang Zhengyi speed up his mission by having the Special Operations Bureau of Weirdness send out more resources to handle the matter. There was no need for him to meddle and do free work.

At this moment, Zhao Jian'an, standing to the side, spoke up, somewhat puzzled:

"It's really strange. Why would the Black Saints, a dark force, not stay in the shadows like rats but occupy such a large area of ​​an ancient town?"

"Oh, about that."

The female captain of the Guyuan branch also realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment, and explained earnestly with a correct attitude:

"According to our investigation, a large-scale bizarre invasion occurred in that ancient town, leaving behind many items related to bizarre energy. Some members of the Black Saint Guild have skills that lean towards controlling the bizarre, so they deliberately occupied the entire ancient town to facilitate the search for those bizarre entities that nurture and control their energy."

"Um?"

Qi Xie suddenly looked up, his brain automatically extracting keywords:

"Are there many strange things?"
