New Order Plan

Jiang Qingshan sat quietly at the small dining table, smoking a cigarette, while Xiao Tian leaned on the counter playing on his phone.

The shop was quiet, with only the sound of boiling water.

Not long after, Old Ma brought over the cooked dumplings.

Jiang Qingshan and Xiao Tian didn't say anything and silently finished their meal under Ma's mother's dazed gaze.

It's Jiang Qingshan's favorite chive and egg filling.

But it was hard to swallow today.

Mother Ma sat by the bedside, weeping uncontrollably, while Old Ma sat beside her, constantly comforting her.

Jiang Qingshan sighed, stood up, and bid farewell to the elderly couple.

"This is a special residence permit issued to you by the department. You can continue to live in the planning area. You just need to update your information at the department every six months."

Jiang Qingshan took a document out of his pocket and placed it on the small dining table.

This was specially approved by the director through my master.

The certificate was issued in a reasonable and compliant manner by identifying Ma Zhengjiu as an informant for the Investigation Department.

Old Ma stepped forward, shook Jiang Qingshan's hand, forced an awkward smile, and said thank you several times.

Jiang Qingshan nodded slightly and walked outside with Xiao Tian.

As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, rummaged through his pockets, and gathered all the cash together.

He glanced sideways and beckoned to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian rummaged through his pants pocket and shrugged listlessly.

He's now completely broke.

Last time, the electricity in Changsheng Garden damaged more than a dozen cars and caused all the streetlights in the entire community to go out. The fines and deductions were so severe that they wiped out two months' worth of wages.

If it weren't for the department taking the lion's share, this whole year would probably have been wasted.

Helpless, Jiang Qingshan could only tidy up the money in his hand and gently place it on the counter.

Not much, about three thousand United Coins.

Consider it payment for these dumplings.

The two did not linger, went out, got into their car, and slowly drove towards the alley entrance.

As Xiao Tian drove, he said with some concern, "That monster must have been sent by the General Intelligence Bureau, right? It managed to track our movements; it's truly omnipresent."

"There are thousands of people inside and outside the headquarters, so it's normal for them to have informants."

Jiang Qingshan flicked away the wad of toilet paper from the armrest box, took out a bottle of mineral water, and took two sips.

That's not surprising at all. If the General Intelligence Agency can't even do something like this, it might as well just disband itself.

Xiao Tian thought for a moment, glanced at the rearview mirror, and said, "Ma Zhengjiu's parents should be alright, right?"

"Ma Zhengjiu is already dead. Liu Minzhong and Jin Yuansheng have achieved their goals. There is no need to add anything unnecessary."

"Too."

Xiao Tian suddenly slammed his fist on the steering wheel angrily and cursed, "Those two old bastards are truly hateful! They won't escape punishment; they'll be brought to justice sooner or later!"

Jiang Qingshan glanced at the righteous-looking Xiao Tian, ​​screwed on the bottle cap, and smiled: "How early or late is 'early' or 'late'?"

"Isn't the old man planning to make a big fuss about this? The National Security Bureau will surely give an explanation, and those two guys will definitely be in trouble then."

"I hope so."

Jiang Qingshan gave a very perfunctory response.

In his view, doing so might not necessarily yield good results.

The bombing was carried out cleanly and efficiently, leaving no useful clues whatsoever.

The Security Bureau's investigation will most likely come to nothing, and they will simply pin the blame on the hidden hostile elements, issue a news report to apologize, condemn the Empire or Independent Star City, and then hastily conclude the matter.

Even if we were to take a step back and find out something, it would probably only lead to Kim Won-saeng, the scapegoat.

People like Liu Minzhong are willing to sacrifice anything for money and power; what do a few lives matter?

If they use their connections to do some shady things, then there's even less chance of trouble.

However, since his master had already made a decision, he couldn't say anything more. He decided to leave it at that for now and see what the outcome would be.

Jiang Qingshan casually tossed the mineral water bottle onto the dashboard and turned to look out the window.

The car drove out of the alley, its bright headlights sweeping across the ground.

"parking!"

A rare look of surprise and doubt appeared on Jiang Qingshan's face.

At the same moment he spoke, Xiao Tian slammed on the brakes.

The two sat up straight, their eyes fixed on the spot where they had just fought the monster.

The body has vanished!

The bloodstains have disappeared!

What happened?

About half an hour has passed since then. Even if the patrolling police officers discovered it, they should still be sealing off the scene and waiting for the investigation team to conduct an investigation.

It couldn't possibly be an empty scene like it is now.

So, where is the body?

It couldn't have flown away on its own, could it?

"Jiang Zi, this is a ghost!"

Xiao Tian rubbed his eyes a couple of times and couldn't help but swallow.

Jiang Qingshan's expression gradually changed from surprise and doubt to seriousness.

He immediately got out of the car and walked to the spot where the body had been to examine it carefully.

The ground was clean and tidy, except for the crater left by the monster, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Qingshan was momentarily confused.

What happened?

The black blood splattered everywhere just now. Even if someone took the body away and cleaned up the scene, they did it so quickly that they must have left some traces, right?

"Do you smell it? Does it have any unusual odor?"

Jiang Qingshan said to Xiao Tian, ​​who was in a daze.

If someone had been here just now, there should be a lingering smell on the ground.

Xiao Tian nodded blankly and immediately lay down on the ground, sniffing around.

Jiang Qingshan looked around. Due to the fighting and explosions during the day, the surveillance cameras in this pedestrian street area were damaged, making it a temporary blind spot for monitoring.

That's why he dared to make bold moves when fighting monsters.

However, what happened after the monster was killed is also unknown.

Could it be a case of feigned death?

But the pig's head had already fallen to the ground.

Anyone who has killed someone knows that hitting the head is far more reliable than hitting the heart.

Because the heart might shift and cause a misfire, but the head is different; hitting the brainstem results in instant death.

Moreover, he directly beheaded the monster.

After a moment, Xiao Tian got up from the ground, dusted off his hands, and said incredulously, "No one should have been here. This is unbelievable."

Jiang Qingshan's eyes twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, his gaze became meaningful: "Then there's only one possibility."

"Um?"

"It came back to life."

"Um???"

Xiao Tian's eyes widened suddenly.

Resurrected from the dead?

Immediately, he grabbed Jiang Qingshan's sleeve and demanded, "You didn't just use that stupid contract of yours on this guy, did you?!"

"I hope that's the case."

"Huh? Then...then...this...doesn't that mean...I mean..."

"Yes, the monster came back to life on its own."

Jiang Qingshan stood with his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth on the ground, his breathing somewhat rapid.

This catastrophic variant is most likely a monster that has mimicked a human, and its ability to resurrect itself should be a unique ability of its original form.

Like his symbiotic contract, there was never a record of it in the disaster database.

"So, the head really did grow back on its own...?" Xiao Tian was greatly shocked.

Jiang Qingshan gradually regained his composure: "Did you remember that guy's scent?"
