The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

One cannot completely believe the teachings of the Dao of Sitting in Oblivion.

But Song Gua felt that it was probably just as he had guessed.

Because this is the kind of work I can do.

His clones likely share the same thought process as him, while the mirror clones are simply amplified versions of certain aspects, but their underlying structure remains similar.

"So, you have the tools but not the spirit, and you want to get a 'one-stop service for tools, spirits, and engines' from me?"

"Exactly!"

"Oh……"

The atmosphere was silent.

Suddenly, Mirror Ghost spoke up.

"Are you planning to steal our equipment?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough cough cough! Impossible, how could this be? Would I do such a thing? We're supposed to be cooperating, hahaha... right?"

He looked at the clone.

The group of clones looked around, pretending not to see Song Gua's suggestive glances.

Song Gua said that nothing had happened and continued.

"If you handle this matter with the Shi family well, we can give you a Soul Devouring Pearl, but the entire supply chain and other soul cultivation items are out of the question."

Mirror Ghost Brother also said seriously.

"What we want is the entire channel. If you don't give it to us, we'll have to resort to robbery. Anyway, the Soul Cultivation Illusionary Realm is still open. It's easy for us to impersonate you and trade with the people inside the illusionary realm."

"If you do this, the cooperation will fall through."

"If we can't reach an agreement on cooperation, I'll just steal your distribution channels."

"If you steal my distribution channels, I will stop cooperating with you."

"If you don't cooperate with me, I'll steal your distribution channels."

Song Gua and Mirror Ghost Brother: "Okay, it's a pleasure to cooperate!"

The two shook hands and then turned to leave.

The clones looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Holy crap, I can't even keep up with that old rascal's train of thought anymore. Am I really that outdated??"

"You actually used the word 'out,' which shows how truly out of touch you are!"

"What kind of collaboration did they actually reach? Aren't they having major disagreements?"

"Idiot, why don't you just read the old thief's memories?"

"Don't..."

"Ah!! Why are you reading this message??? What have you all been doing?! 😂 ...

"This newbie is so stubborn, another one's gone mad. Let's move him to the cannon fodder group."

"Take note of this training course: the first rule for new recruits is never to read the memories of old thieves."

"That's right, when reading memories, you should start with the youngest children and gradually work your way up."

Thus began a collaboration between the mirror bandits and the real bandits.

The former has the ability to travel through mirror images.

The latter has the ability to switch the location of its clones.

Therefore, their mobility is extremely strong, and going to Xichuan City is nothing special.

However, Song Gua can arrive instantly, while the mirror bandits still have to jump along the river for a while. Their mirror shuttle cannot travel too far at once.

During this time, Wan Jianyi arrived in Huiye City with ten investigators.

They followed the path taken by the mirror image bandits, tracking them all the way.

It must be said that the Chief Investigation Division and the investigators are quite capable.

They actually wiped out some of the Mirror Bandits who didn't follow the Mirror Army to Xichuan City, but instead stayed in the small towns along the way to have fun.

Mirror Bandits emphasizes freedom.

If they don't want to follow the main group for the time being and want to stay somewhere else to continue having fun, the three leaders have absolutely no objection.

So, after bombing their way from Glory City to Xichuan City, the Mirror Bandits were reduced to only two thousand men.

Of these thousand people, some self-destructed, some were wiped out by Wan Jianyi and his group, and some stayed in small places to play around.

It is said that they were wiped out by Wan Jianyi and others, but in reality, Wan Jianyi is still in Huiye City.

Following closely behind are ten special investigation teams led by ten top investigators.

Wan Jianyi spends his days in the enormous office that the mayor of Huiye City has meticulously prepared for him, polishing his sword, playing golf, and drinking coffee.

Mayor Shi Qian of Huiye City was standing beside Wan Jianyi, bowing and scraping.

"Um, Chief Wan, is there anything about our city that we haven't done a good job in entertaining you?"

Wan Jianyi stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city street scene in front of him, and nodded.

"The buildings in this neighborhood are so tall, I can't even see the suburbs in the distance."

Shi Qian immediately made a phone call.

"Immediately begin demolition of the K3 area! Compensation will be at the minimum standard, and demolition must be completed within one week! An artificial lake will be built instead!"

Wan Jianyi smiled and adjusted his sunglasses.

"Mayor Shi, I'm not from the Discipline Inspection Commission. Do you need to curry favor with me?"

"Haha, Chief Wan, what are you saying? You are the highest combat force in the Special Bureau, possess the highest privileges, and it is only right that you enjoy all the treatment. How can you call it flattery?"

And you see, ever since you came, there has been no more Zuowangdao in our entire city.

Even the crime rate has plummeted!

You are like a golden Buddha, suppressing all the evil spirits and wickedness in the city!

Wan Jian glanced at him.

"Is that so? Some unhealthy trends and evil practices can't be dispelled by any force, even Buddha."

"Uh, hehe...yes, yeah..."

"Alright, I told you, I'm not from the Discipline Inspection Commission, and I don't care how you conduct yourself as an official. You can leave now; I'm going to play golf."

"Okay! Hope you have fun!"

Shi Qian is gone.

Wan Jianyi glanced at this office, which was even bigger than his own in Beijing, and shook his head helplessly.

A female assistant came over, brought him a cup of coffee, and pouted unhappily.

"Chief, look at the bureaucratic problems in these western cities. They've gotten so serious, why isn't the higher-ups doing anything about it? What's the Discipline Inspection Commission doing? Are they afraid of the Shi family?"

Wan Jianyi wiped his golf clubs and laughed.

"The Shi family doesn't have the power to oppose the Federation yet. It's just that the Shi family has too much protection, and the Federation can't easily touch them unless they go too far."

"The Shi family certainly has many officials, but the highest-ranking one is only G7, the mayor. They don't even have G8 or G9 members. Who can protect them?"

Ask fewer questions and do more.

At this moment, a flashing red light appeared on the upper left corner of Wan Jianyi's sunglasses.

These sunglasses are his detectors. The Special Bureau's detectors have built-in communication functions. A flashing red light indicates an incoming call.

Wan Jianyi answered the call.

The left side frame of the sunglasses projects an aerial image forward, allowing for direct video conversations.

The caller was one of the top ten investigators.

"Commander Wan, we are currently in Beichuan City."

"Are we almost at Xichuan? These mirror images are really after the Shi family."

"Yes, they kept bombing the Special Bureau, doing all sorts of weird and crazy things, and even clamoring to go clubbing at the Shi family's ancestral graves."

"After chasing you all this way, it seems you haven't achieved any significant results; you've only caught a few small fry."

"Uh... Chief Wan, the mirror-image abilities of the Mirror Entities are really difficult to deal with. Without the Devouring Light Treasure, we probably wouldn't be able to capture a single one. But I was thinking, if you could lend a hand..."

"I'm busy, another drink, please."

Wan Jianyi handed the empty coffee cup to his female assistant.

The investigator dared not be angry or speak out, only saying, "Please continue with your work. We'll head to Xichuan City now, hoping to intercept the Mirror Bandits before they arrive!"

Wan Jian nodded slightly.

"Okay, keep it up."
