I write obituaries for the gods

“Don’t I get a share…” Louis was hurt.

"You'll have to be my backup!" Li Zhanyi suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "How did you get that? You're amazing!"

Lin Chen recounted his story of how he took orders from Shen Tianhu through his black market website.

"I never imagined that an honest and unassuming entrepreneur like Shen Tianhu would post ads on the black market..." Li Zhanyi murmured.

“Where can you find an honest and simple entrepreneur?” Louis complained.

"In short, we've hitched a ride on their coattails," Lin Chen said. "Section Chief?"

He looked at Jiang Zhengge and noticed that the latter's expression was somewhat subtle.

"fine."

Jiang Zhengge snapped out of his daze and nodded to Lin Chen.

"Then, prepare for the investigation."

......

Chapter 6 The Secret Service Visitors (Fifth Update)

After finalizing the concert schedule, it's time to clock out!

As always, Jiang Zhengge drove Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi home.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Zhengge remained silent, repeatedly giving perfunctory responses to the harassment from the talkative Li Zhanyi.

"Old Jiang is so strange..." Li Zhanyi whispered in Lin Chen's ear, "I'm so curious about what kind of love-hate entanglement he had with that demigod."

Lin Chen glanced at the car's rearview mirror and saw a slight ripple in Jiang Zhengge's calm expression.

On the day of the Carnival, at the banquet in the Waldorf Hotel, he witnessed Jiang Zhengge and Xi Leina dancing together on the dance floor.

That was a rare moment when he saw a relaxed expression on Jiang Zhengge's face. Even though Jiang Zhengge didn't admit it afterward, Lin Chen believed his eyes.

The relationship between Jiang Zhengge and this senior colleague is probably more than just that of colleagues.

"..."

When I got home, Huihui greeted me as soon as I entered the door:

"Brother, come tutor me with my homework."

"Me?" Lin Chen pointed to himself. "Me?"

Seeing Lin Chen's silly expression, Huihui laughed. She held up the homework book and handed it to Li Zhanyi:

"Sister Zhanyi! Then you tutor me!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Zhanyi supported Huihui's small shoulders, and the two entered the room chatting and laughing.

Lin Chen looked into the living room: Litty was squatting on the cabinet, her two little wings covering her face, her face buried in the feathers.

What's that little bird doing? Lin Chen walked under the cabinet and made a few sucking noises with its beak:

"Little bird, little bird, what are you doing?"

A pair of deep blue eyes peeked out from among the feathers. Seeing that it was Lin Chen, Liti smiled happily.

She flapped her wings, landed on the wardrobe, and flew directly into Lin Chen's arms:

"Awoo!"

Lin Chen hugged Liti tightly, ruffled her soft white fur, and said with a soft laugh:

How's school today?

"You're asking about the homework!" Litty winked. "I've finished my homework!"

"So smart," Lin Chen pinched Liti's cheek. "Why don't you teach Huihui? She seems to be having some trouble."

"Huihui said she didn't want to trouble me, saying I was the little bird she was protecting," Liti chuckled. "She said her brother only has a second-tier university degree and can't teach her! She has to wait for Sister Zhanyi to come back!"

So, your sister Hui was just being polite with me... Lin Chen smiled helplessly and placed Liti on the sofa:

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll order takeout; I'm exhausted after running around all day."

"I want crab hot pot!" Litty raised her hand. "Spicy! Spicy!"

This little bird may look like a mixed-race doll, but her appetite has always been very Chinese...

Perhaps because she had spent a long time in the experimental facility and hadn't eaten much strong-flavored food, she had been trying flavors she hadn't eaten much before after being adopted by Professor Jürgen.

Lin Chen gently rubbed Litty's head and said:

"Okay, then I'll order takeout, a big pot of crab meat stew!"

Now that he has money, he can afford to splurge a little on this expense.

"Okay!" Litty said with a satisfied look.

So Lin Chen ordered crab hot pot on the Baoleme platform and then started browsing his phone on the sofa.

Litty watched him from the side, looking obedient. Her little wings fluttered unconsciously when she saw the funny video, gently patting the back of Lin Chen's neck, tickling him.

A little while later, the doorbell rang:

"Ding dong~"

"I'll go get the takeout." Lin Chen rubbed Litty's head.

He got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

The moment the door opened, Lin Chen felt everything in front of him gradually lengthen, and the surrounding space gradually turned into darkness.

"...!"

He subconsciously projected a pistol, pointing it towards the door, only to see a professional woman in a black suit with her hair tied in a high ponytail standing in the doorway.

“Mr. Lin Chen,” the woman said, ignoring the pistol Lin Chen had raised, “the mayor sent me to pick you up.”

The mayor sent them? Lin Chen recalled the agreement he had made with Black Sword.

"Proof?" Lin Chen asked.

The woman gently spread her five fingers: a small goldfish pendant hung down.

"Let me introduce myself. My code name is Meng Po, and I am an executor of the Secret Service."

Meng Po... that's quite a unique title.

Looking at the little goldfish that symbolized the secret society's emblem, Lin Chen lowered his gun and nodded:

"Let's go."

He had only taken two steps when he heard Litty's voice behind him:

"elder brother?"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw that Liti had followed behind him at some point, looking on with curiosity.

"You're bringing the child in too?" Lin Chen looked at Meng Po behind him with displeasure.

"The mayor also wants to see her," Meng Po said emotionlessly.

“She has nothing to do with these things,” Lin Chen said.

"Don't worry, the mayor won't make things difficult for the guests," Meng Po said. "Get in the car."

Meng Po stepped aside, and Lin Chen then noticed that there was a stretch Lincoln parked behind her.

The car looked very old, and it was absurdly suspended in the darkness, like a ravaged ghost ship.

Lin Chen took Liti's hand, squatted down, and whispered in her ear:

"Don't be afraid, just stay close to your brother."

“I’m not afraid,” Litty said, looking around. “I’m not afraid.”

Her small hand gently gripped Lin Chen's hand, her expression remaining calm.

Meng Po opened the car door for Lin Chen and gestured for him to enter. Lin Chen carried Liti into the car and sat down on the long sofa.

The limousine began to drive in the darkness. As it drove on, the darkness outside the window gradually dissipated, and the scenery gradually transitioned into a cold and gloomy cityscape.

On both sides of the street, crowds holding red umbrellas gathered, their faceless faces gazing at the limousine, their blurry outlines revealing a hint of longing.

However, they did not swarm towards each other, but maintained a certain distance from beginning to end.

"Are we in... Shuiwa City?" Lin Chen recognized the scenery outside the window.

“The municipal government office is located deep within subspace,” Meng Po said. “Water City is one of the passages connecting reality and the office, and it is also a relatively safe one.”

Relatively safe... Lin Chen couldn't help but recall those strange rules and legends.

"This waterlogged city has quite a lot of development potential, huh?" Lin Chen couldn't help but complain.

“It’s a reflection of our city,” Meng Po glanced at the rearview mirror. “Does it feel familiar?”

"Familiarity?"

"It's nothing, we'll be there soon."

The extended Lincoln drove into a tunnel, and the scenery outside the window grew darker and darker, once again turning into that eerie, thick ink.

Lin Chen took out his phone, intending to text Zhan Yi to ask her to pick up the takeout, but found that his phone had lost signal at some point.

Logically speaking, the Bureau of Investigation should also have base stations in subspace... How deep must this place be?

"We've arrived."

The stretch Lincoln came to a stop, and Lin Chen looked out the window and noticed a stone-paved road in the darkness.

Meng Po got out of the car and opened the door for Lin Chen, then gestured "please" towards the stone-paved road.

Lin Chen carried Liti out of the car, looked around, and then followed Meng Po onto the stone path.

"Am I finally going to meet that mysterious mayor...?" Lin Chen thought to himself.

......

Chapter 7 "Demigod" (First Update)

After walking a distance along the stone path, rain began to fall on the pitch-black backdrop.

Then, just like the scenes in a game gradually loading, more and more things appeared: lawns, courtyard walls, and bricks and tiles climbed up from the horizon, forming the outline of the mansion.

Deep within the subspace, a mansion stands.

"Gada..."

The door to the house opened, and a petite, green-haired girl peeked out and waved to Lin Chen.

"The mayor is already waiting for you here."

Lin Chen felt that the green-haired girl looked familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

She followed the girl into the house, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door of an office.

"Clang."

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by an antique-style study, where a man with a calm expression sits upright behind his desk with his eyes closed.

Across from him, Lin Chen finally saw a familiar face: Director Hua Molan was sitting there.

"Go ahead." The green-haired girl pulled out a chair for Lin Chen and then turned and left the room.

Lin Chen found a small chair in the corner of the room, put Liti on it, and then sat down next to Director Hua Molan.

He glanced at the "mayor" who was deep in thought, then exchanged a look with Hua Molan, giving her a "what's going on?" expression.

"Wait a moment," Director Hua Molan said softly, "The mayor is currently traveling through history."

As he journeyed through history... Lin Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

This ability... is very similar to "Mirage City".

As doubts arose, the mayor finally opened his eyes, his gray eyes, which seemed to be blind, looked at Lin Chen across the table, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Long time no see, ghost," the mayor said softly.

He glanced at Litty behind Lin Chen and gently shook his head:

"It seems you have not yet regained your memories."
