High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

Shen Chang'an stared at the transfer order in his hand for a moment before looking up and asking, "So, the order is real, but the information that issued it is fake?"

Bai Chongguang nodded: "Yes, those who received the message may genuinely believe that a deep rift has appeared overseas. Those responsible for reviewing, signing off, and mobilizing troops may also be following the rules. The other party may not need to bribe everyone; as long as the initial message is taken as true, the subsequent procedures will naturally proceed."

"But how can he be sure that you'll be the ones transferred in the end? What if the capital sends another unit, or sends someone to verify beforehand? Wouldn't the arrangement fall through?"

"That's why I said this person is very familiar with our procedures."

Bai Chongguang pushed the transfer order in front of him, pointing to the time and mission level on it.

"We have corresponding contingency plans for where the anomaly occurs, to what extent the fluctuation reaches, and which unit should handle it. As long as he knows the location and mission of each unit at that time, he can roughly judge who will receive the order after the message is sent up."

"It's suspected to be a large abyssal rift. No one dares to delay. The military rushed there to confirm the situation and deal with it promptly. By the time they realize the information is wrong and come back, it will be too late."

Shen Chang'an's brows furrowed slightly: "There probably aren't many people who can figure these things out, are there?"

"They're definitely not an amateur who doesn't know anything, but that doesn't mean it was done by the person who signed it."

Bai Chongguang shook his head: "He may have worked in the military, or he may have served in the Zhenye Division, or someone may have provided him with information. Based on this transfer order alone, it is not possible to narrow down the scope to a specific person."

He looked at the complete set of seals on the paper, and his expression darkened.

"That was the most troublesome thing back then. When we investigated according to orders, everyone could explain why they did it, but the people who actually sent in the fake news didn't leave enough traces."

Shen Chang'an nodded, providing the various formations and then using a false message to divert military forces that could intervene in time. If all these things were done by the same person, then that person not only understands the major families but is also very familiar with the internal workings of Donghuang.

Such people may not always be hiding in some shady place.

He may have an perfectly normal identity, or even be in a position where he has access to such information. When others see him, they will only think of his job and will never suspect anything else.

Thinking of this, a face suddenly appeared in Shen Chang'an's mind.

Xu Xiuqi! Currently serving as the Chief Commander of the Night Division in Cangjiang Town.

His gaze lingered on the transfer order for a moment, and he almost asked Xu Xiuqi about his past experiences, but in the end he swallowed his words back.

He didn't know where Xu Xiuqi was or what position he held twenty years ago. It was too hasty to connect the other party with this matter based on mere guesswork.

Shen Chang'an was unsure and didn't want to reveal the name without evidence. He simply kept Xu Xiuqi in mind for the time being, then closed the transfer order in his hand and put it back on the table.

He composed himself, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Bai Chongguang: "Thank you for telling me this, senior."

Bai Chongguang waved his hand: "No need to thank me. These things have been here for twenty years, and I still haven't found any results. Wang Shuhan sent you here, presumably because he thinks you can find the clues we haven't found."

Bai Chongguang put the photos and documents back into the file bag, but Shen Chang'an didn't get up immediately. He waited until Bai Chongguang finished before speaking again: "Senior Bai, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you."

"you say."

"It's about the stone slabs. Where are the stone slabs that Donghuang has found usually kept? I asked Old Wang, and he said that the military is mainly responsible for this, so he asked me to inquire with you."

Bai Chongguang thought for a moment and said, "These things are rare to begin with, and they are not found in concentrated areas. Over the years, Donghuang has not found many pieces in total, and they are all different sizes."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "Currently, the three largest pieces are sealed in the capital. Those pieces are the most valued, and their safekeeping and sealing are handled by designated personnel. Not just anyone can access them."

Shen Chang'an's eyes flickered slightly: "The three largest pieces are all in the capital?"

"Yes, I can confirm that. As for the others, they are more scattered. Some are kept in the research institute, and some are sealed away elsewhere. It depends on how they were arranged at the time."

Bai Chongguang put down his teacup and shook his head: "I've been retired for so many years, it's really hard to say whether I've moved the storage location. If you ask me where each piece is now, I can't answer that right now. I'll have to find someone to check."

Shen Chang'an nodded: "No need to trouble yourself for now. I'll just get a general idea of ​​the situation and know that the three largest pieces are in the capital."

Bai Chongguang glanced at him: "Interested in the stone slab?"

"I'd like to know more about it. After all, I've handled the stone slab twice, so it's always good to know more."

He didn't press for the specific location of the seal. Knowing that the three largest stone slabs were in the capital was enough for him. He could consider other matters after returning from the demon realm.

Bai Chongguang didn't press the matter further, only reminding him, "You can try to understand, but if you really want to get in touch, you should be more cautious. You know the commotion Xu Mingjing caused back then."

"clear."

Shen Chang'an stood up and said earnestly, "Thank you for bothering you for so long today, senior."

"Alright, no need to be so polite. If you have any questions in the future, just come and ask me again."

Du Yue also got up, said goodbye to Bai Chongguang, and the two walked outside. When they reached the courtyard gate, Bai Chongguang suddenly called him back: "When you see Wang Shuhan again, please pass on a message for me."

He turned around and saw the old man standing under the eaves, his white hair gently blowing in the wind, his expression having returned to its previous casualness.

"Since he's still alive, he should wake up sooner rather than later. Lying there pretending to be dead isn't like him."

Shen Chang'an paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely pass it on."

Outside, Yuan Chongyue was still leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, while Tu Shan Feiyue was looking down at a few flowers and plants. When they saw the two of them come out, they didn't ask any questions and just followed them out.

When the four returned to the Night Division headquarters in Yaodu Town, the passage between the two worlds was almost ready.
