"Hello! Comrade Shadow! This trip has really troubled you!"

Because they reported the situation to the tower in a timely manner, after getting off the plane, the Awakened from the official headquarters were already waiting at the airport.

Looking at Ren Jian Country's familiar face in front of him, Wu Liang conveniently recorded the details of the supernatural event for him to report.

The only disagreement was—the record said the Thunder Ghost was exorcised, but actually, that thing had been incorporated into the Ghost Compendium, becoming his own ability!

[Electric Flash and Thunder: Can transform any cloud or mist into dark clouds to induce lightning strikes]

After all, he quite liked the lightning ability, which also made up for his lack of ranged attack methods.

As for the cloud and mist required to trigger it, under his Mist Ghost [Heavy Fog] ability, he could have as much as he wanted!

"Comrade Shadow, according to the pilot and stewardess of this flight, the supernatural disaster was completely avoided mainly because you informed them in advance to change the flight route?" Ren Jian Country noticed some clues in the report and said.

"Ah, yes, that's right. But the person who foresaw the supernatural event wasn't me, it was her."

Wu Liang said this and casually pointed to Jiang Min, who was still continuing to record.

He couldn't help feeling a bit lucky.

Before arriving in the Capital City, Jiang Min demonstrated the importance of her foresight ability, which would make her more valued after joining the headquarters.

Additionally, Minister Long personally reported her situation and applied for Jiang Min to receive training and research on controlling the foresight ability at the headquarters.

It can be basically confirmed that this step shouldn't encounter any more problems.

"It's truly lucky that this supernatural event didn't have any victims! You should know that currently, due to supernatural issues, the survival rate in induced air disasters is even less than 1%! On behalf of the passengers on the plane, I extend our sincere thanks to you."

Sure enough, upon hearing about Jiang Min's importance, both the pilot and Ren Jian Country expressed their gratitude.

After completing these basic inspections, Wu Liang and Jiang Min also took Ren Jian Country's car and returned all the way to that familiar headquarters building.

On the car, Wu Liang curiously asked, "By the way, Captain Ren, is your son still held?"

"..."

Ren Jian Country couldn't help but fall silent; who would already be rubbing salt in the wound upon meeting?

But eventually, he sighed and said, "Yes, even though his consciousness was invaded by the Pioneer and he couldn't control himself, he still did wrong, and the confinement can only be lifted after he helps resolve thirty supernatural events. Until then, he must live under official supervision."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance through the rearview mirror at Wu Liang, who was smirking.

This kid not only resolved the Pioneer invasion in the Capital City but also returned to Chengyang City to fight against a City-Destroying Level crisis.

He seems to be just over twenty years old, right?

The young people nowadays are each stranger than the last...

Wu Liang continued asking about the events after that meeting, and basically, the entire Capital City is now acting around exploration and prevention.

After learning this, he was even more pleased.

"Sister Jiang, you're really lucky. Given the current situation, they'll really cherish you, hahaha. Say hi to Zodiac Rabbit for me; I'm heading up first."

After entering the headquarters building, Ren Jian Country took Jiang Min to the research institute for Symbiont testing, while Wu Liang was led by a person in a red mask into another elevator.

It seemed they wanted him to go directly to the top floor to meet the real top leadership of the official headquarters!

Looking at the masked person beside him, Wu Liang felt a bit of PTSD.

After all, the previous Ghost Valley and Wu Xiaoyao's Bionic Man always liked wearing masks, making him a bit stressed at the sight of masks now.

This elevator seemed a bit slow, taking two whole minutes to reach the top floor.

Finally, when the elevator door opened, Wu Liang glanced at the surroundings that were extremely simple—

Besides a receptionist and a few sofas, the lobby only had a few art paintings that looked like they were bought from a roadside stall hanging on the wall.

If he didn't know this was the leader's office, saying it was a small company in an office building might have made someone believe.

Following the receptionist's guidance, Wu Liang and the masked person finally arrived at an inconspicuous office.

Just as they entered, they saw a white-haired old man standing with his back to them, gazing out the window into the distance.

"Chief, the person is here for you."

After saying this, the receptionist quietly exited the room and closed the door.

Click—

With the clicking sound of the door latch, the atmosphere completely froze.

Wu Liang glanced at the leader still turned away from them, then at the masked person who hadn't moved at all, with neither taking the lead in speaking.

He couldn't help his own mischievous nature.

He opened his mouth and helplessly said, "Minister Long, how long are you going to keep up this act? Aren't these kinds of deceptive things usually done by me? Is this a banquet of doom or a celebration banquet?"

"Puhahaha..."

As soon as these words came out, the masked person beside him suddenly burst into laughter.

He quickly tore off the mask, revealing Minister Long's same youthful face, his eyes still wrapped in familiar red cloth strips.

He plopped down on the sofa in the center of the office and said cheerfully to the leader by the window, "Old man, I won. I told you this kid would speak before you, and it definitely wouldn't be anything serious!"

Then the leader slowly turned around.

Under the white hair, unsurprisingly, was a wrinkled face that looked very elderly, with a face similar to any old man commonly seen along the street.

But from his eyes, which were calm as an ancient well, Wu Liang could clearly see a certain sharpness to the extreme, a natural show of authority from being in a high position for so long.

Even when their eyes met, Wu Liang felt that the pressure from him was far more terrifying than when he first saw Minister Long.

Unlike before, he didn't feel any strong ability aura from the elder; he purely relied on his aura to achieve this!

"Xudong, Chengyang City's crisis foreseen by Little Serpent is over. When do you plan to return?"

The elder spoke slowly, but it always gave Wu Liang a feeling that "what he said was an order," making one unable to help but become serious.

By the way, the "Xudong" mentioned by him is... Minister Long!?

This is actually the first time Wu Liang knew a part of Minister Long's real name; everyone he'd met before only knew his codename.

And upon hearing the leader's words, Minister Long said something that almost caused Wu Liang's CPU to burn:

"Come back for what? To inherit your position, grandpa, and sit in the office endlessly issuing orders? I'd still prefer to fight against supernatural resurgence on the front lines."

Wait a minute, did he say a strange term? Grandpa?

The official highest leader in front of him?

Damn, the real connections are here!
