歪果仁漫画

Seven people.

One from the special department.

The remaining six were from other departments.

Wu Fuqing grabbed the list, gave it a glance, and tossed it aside.

“Are you certain?”

Zheng Cheng nodded: “Only these seven people have been detected with abilities. I’m not too clear about those who aren’t present at the base.”

“In case it’s wrong.”

“There’s no mistake.” Zheng Cheng confidently declared: “Even if these seven aren’t from the Fallen Ones, they are individuals harbouring ill-intent towards the Watchmen.”

“Either the Fallen Ones or people from another country.”

“Another country…”

Wu Fuqing coldly stated: “Such is the base nature of humans. Even till now they are thinking of internecine fights?”

“After chasing the Different Races off Blue Star, the so-called global unified government has been virtually non-existent.”

“To have the entire world unite, you still need a strong external enemy…”

Zheng Cheng didn’t comment on the political stakes; he was but a humble priest who didn’t wield such decision-making power.

Wu Fuqing pressed down the speakerphone, and a gentle voice came from the other end of the line: “Director, may I assist you with anything?”

“Have Old Bai, Liu Ying, and Meng Yao come in.”

“Very well, Director.”

In the hallway, upon hearing the secretary’s notice, Meng Yao smugly told Old Bai: “See, Old Bai? Wasn’t I right? Those three newcomers were prepared for you.”

“Just go already.”

Old Bai, resigned, said: “Alright, alright, I’m going.”

The secretary nearby chimed in: “Captain Meng Yao, the Director called for you too.”

“He called for me too?”

Meng Yao blinked, shrugging her shoulders: “Alright then, we’ll go together.”

The two headed towards the office, with Meng Yao asking along the way: “Who else besides us?”

“Also Captain Liu Ying.”

“Her?”

Meng Yao found it odd: “What’s going on? Why did he summon her too?”

Soon, the trio entered the office.

Thanks to the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, Zheng Cheng quickly recognized the three.

A short, burly middle-aged man, with an expression of resignation – that was Old Bai.

A woman dressed in flimsy attire and with a delicate face – that was Meng Yao.

The last one was a woman in simple jeans and with a clear, unadorned face – Liu Ying.

Meng Yao was the first to ask: “Boss, why did you summon us?”

Wu Fuqing heaved a long sigh: “Meng Yao, female, twenty-seven years old, Zhezhou Province native. Graduate of Zhezhou Martial Arts University, Professionist as a level seven Illusion Technique Master, Level 69.”

Everyone was puzzled why Wu Fuqing was reciting Meng Yao’s profile.

Meng Yao was even more perplexed: “Boss, why are you reading my file? Are you planning to promote me?”

Wu Fuqing shook his head: “Should I call you Captain Meng Yao or…a fragmentary avatar of the Illusory Sun from Dawn’s Nine Suns?”

“What?!”

Just as Wu Fuqing finished his statement, the recent entrants into the office — the three Captains of the Watchmen — froze.

“Director, what are you talking about? I’m Meng Yao! I was recruited by you into the ranks of the Watchmen…”

Both Old Bai and Liu Ying were wide-eyed, especially Old Bai: “Director, this is not something to joke about!”

“Meng Yao is our colleague. The Fallen Ones who died at her hand number over a dozen, how could she possibly be one of the Fallen Ones!”

Liu Ying came to her defense: “Yes, Director, even though I don’t get along well with Meng Yao in normal times, I wouldn’t accuse her of being one of the Fallen Ones!”

Yet Wu Fuqing shook his head: “I also find it hard to believe, but unfortunately, it’s the truth.”

“The first Sun amongst the Nine Suns of Dawn, the Illusory Celestial God, specializes in creating illusionary avatars, covering the minds of unfamiliar Professionists with illusions, granting them a flawless life.”

“From birth, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, college, and even subtly manoeuvring your life course, guiding you to join the Watchmen, to rise to the rank of Captain, or even further…”

Within the list that Zheng Cheng just provided, the name of one Professionist was enough to startle him.

He is even on par with me!

With that said, Wu Fuqing earnestly looked at Meng Yao: “Your life experiences are false, your records as well. Even you as a whole are false…”

“How… how is that possible…”

Meng Yao felt as if she had plunged into an ice cellar, and staggered back two steps.

“How… how is it possible, I, I am false?”

She raised her hands and stared at them blankly, feeling the live flesh, and suddenly raised her head said: “Director! If I really am a Fallen One, if I’m really fake, then I will just stand here and let you…”

“Wait a minute!”

Old Bai suddenly shouted, looking at Zheng Cheng and others, gritted his teeth: “Director, we were doing fine before, with these three newcomers came, you determined that Meng Yao is a Fallen One!”

“Did they tell you something? Meng Yao being determined as a Fallen One has something to do with them….”

“Yes, it has something to do with them.”

Wu Fuqing said solemnly: “Old Bai, don’t get excited. Think about what was the purpose of joining the Night Guards, don’t let your feelings blind you!”

“Fallen Ones…are unforgivable!”

“I…”

“Old Bai, don’t say anymore.” Meng Yao lifted her head and said, “Director, let’s start.”

“You called Liu Ying here, isn’t it for investigating me? I won’t run or resist!”

Wu Fuqing nodded: “If that’s the case… Liu Ying!”

“If you want to prove Meng Yao’s innocence, it’s up to you.”

Liu Ying shivered, her eyes full of hesitation.

“Do it.” Meng Yao gritted her teeth: “I really want to see what my soul looks like!”

“Is the memory of more than 20 years really just an illusion?”

Liu Ying took a deep breath: “Alright, but if there is nothing unusual about Meng Yao…”

Then, she also turned to Zheng Cheng and others for a look.

“They three, must pay the price!”

Zheng Cheng frowned and shook his head.

It seems that this Night Guard is not a long-term place!

On the first day of their arrival, they were remembered distastefully by two Black Level Captains.

If this goes on for a long time…

“Whoo~!!!”

A low moan suddenly echoed throughout the office.

Liu Ying was making gestures with both hands, aiming at Meng Yao.

Her pupils turned pitch-black at this moment, filled with a faint mist.

Her hands were as quick as lightning, and suddenly an almond-yellow talisman appeared in her hands, steadily pressed against Meng Yao’s forehead.

“Summon spirit… Soul expulsion… Go!”

“Buzz~!”

Meng Yao’s body trembled violently, and a pale blue figure slowly rose from her body, as if it was drawn out.

Her body weakened and fell, Old Bai quickly caught her.

The few people in the room all looked at the floating figure in mid-air.

The face, vaguely visible, looked like Meng Yao.

Old Bai exclaimed excitedly: “Director, it’s Meng Yao!”

“Her soul doesn’t have any anomalies, she’s not a Fallen One, she’s our comrade…”

As soon as his voice fell, he saw a black dot suddenly appear on Meng Yao’s soul’s forehead, which spread over her whole body in a blink of an eye.

And her original delicate and enchanting face, at this moment actually transformed into a genderless figure.

With a wicked look in the eyes, handsome face, and an eerie aura!

The figure slowly opened its eyes and looked at the ground.

Meanwhile, an incredibly cold voice came out.

“Interesting… The Thousand Illusions Soul Splitting Technique of deity has actually been broken by someone!”

“Who is it?!”
