While slaying gods, he suffers from a terminal illness and signs in to collect the seven gods of Gen

Chapter 11 Zhao Kongcheng's Confidence

"Captain, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the office tomorrow. I'd like to ask for a day off to go home."

When Chen Muyi heard Liu Lang say he couldn't come to the firm tomorrow, he thought he was going to be late on his first day of work. Turns out it was something else entirely.

Indeed, one should say, "Hmm, so hasty? Aren't you going to wait a few more days?"

"No need, I've already thought it through. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later." Liu Lang didn't care whether it was sooner or later, but his most important purpose this time was to sign in at Lin Qiye's house.

The first time I checked in, I got a Thunder General. I can't possibly give him an '84 vintage soda the second time, can I?

Chen Muye thought about Liu Lang's background and agreed, so he said, "Then you know how to tell your parents, right?"

After learning Liu Lang's identity, Chen Muyi had thoroughly investigated Liu Lang's background. Apart from a divine representative master who came from an unknown place, he had almost all the information about Liu Lang from childhood to adulthood.

"Yes, I know."

"Just tell me I've submitted my application to enlist and am going to join the army... Senior Wen Qimo has already told me everything, and he's given me the official documents."

"It's good that you know. If you need anything, just call Wen Qimo and he can arrange it for you."

"Okay, thank you, Captain."

"No need to thank me, we're teammates from now on, we're all family." Chen Muye said with a smile, "Alright, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now."

"Ah."

Chen Muye hung up the phone, then asked Wu Xiangnan, who was sitting next to him, with a serious expression, "Tell me? Where did you find any trace of the Ghost-Faced King?"

Wu Xiangnan pointed to the map of the area surrounding Cangnan City spread out on the table and said with a solemn expression, "A citizen found a corpse that had been gnawed to the bone on a small road not far from the outskirts of the northern city. It was injured and had to eat people to replenish its energy. This is probably not the last one."

"The nearest city to Cangnan City is 10 kilometers away. Even if he ate someone, he wouldn't have regained his strength and there's no way he could cross such a long distance."

Hongying quickly pressed for an answer, "So...it will continue to return to Cangnan City?"

"That's right. After discovering this situation, we have prohibited citizens from going to sparsely populated areas, but the masked man will eventually get impatient and come out again..."

"At that time..." Wu Xiangnan said, his brows furrowing deeply.

Chen Muye frowned slightly. "Continue to intensify the search of the sewers connecting the northern suburbs! The masked man likes to crawl into sewers. It was injured by me and escaped through the sewers by damaging its own essence. It is very likely that it is still in this sewer."

Upon hearing Chen Muyi's guess, Wu Xiangnan quickly checked whether there were any sewers around the area where the body was found.

"Captain, there's a sewer 50 meters away from where the body was found, and it's connected to the sewer system in the northern suburbs!" Wu Xiangnan said excitedly.

"Immediately send men to continue searching along this sewer. This time, we absolutely cannot let them escape!" Chen Muye's eyes flashed with a cold light as he immediately gave the order.

"Roger that!"

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Chen Muyi turned to look at Hongying, "Where's Lao Zhao? I haven't seen him."

Hongying replied, "Old Zhao went to find the Seraphim's agent."

"Call him first and tell him about this, tell him to be careful," Chen Muye instructed, then looked at Wu Xiangnan, "You let the Seraphim's agent escape? What do you have to say about that?"

Wu Xiangnan...

At that moment, Zhao Kongcheng's call went through, and Hongying was telling him about the meeting they had just had.

Wu Xiangnan rushed over, snatched the handkerchief, and said to Zhao Kongcheng, "Old Zhao, we must bring back the Seraphim's agent. His potential is too great; we absolutely cannot let him fall into the hands of the Ancient God Church! In a sense, this matter is more important and has a higher priority than eliminating the Ghost-Faced King!"

Wu Xiangnan seemed to see a bed with a pink curtain behind Zhao Kongcheng, and something that said "Lovers' Hotel" on it, but this scene only flashed by.

But he didn't think much of it, assuming he had misread it.

Zhao Kongcheng remembered the emblem he had placed in Lin Qiye's pocket and said confidently, "Leave this to me. I will bring that kid back myself!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Kongcheng revealed a confident smile.

Kid, you think I can't handle you?

Lin Qiye returned home, closed the bedroom door, lay back on the bed, and sighed deeply.

After resting for a while, while taking off my clothes, a badge about the size of a coin fell off.

Lin Qiye fiddled with the emblem and saw three small characters below the pattern of two intersecting straight swords: "Zhao Kongcheng".

He immediately understood what was going on, and casually flipped the emblem over. On the back, a few lines of small characters were engraved.

"When the dark night finally comes,

I will stand before tens of thousands of people,

With the sword facing the abyss,

The sky is stained with blood!"

"What spirit..." Lin Qiye murmured.

"Why can't you just say it directly instead of making it so formal?" Liu Sisi looked at Liu Lang, who was sitting directly across from her at the dining table, with a strange expression, wondering if it was just her imagination.

She felt that Liu Lang across from her was somewhat unfamiliar. Although she often overlooked him due to work, she had all the qualities that other children should have.

Even because of her divorce, she was never stingy with the pocket money she gave Liu Lang; she would give him whatever he asked for without ever asking any questions.

This situation worsened after he moved in with her after the high school entrance exam, since Liu Lang had always been a good kid in her eyes...

She has never cried or made a fuss since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been excellent.

She is the "other people's child" in other people's eyes, and her colleagues in the same department envy her for having such a sensible child.

But... what's going on today?
