Once, I wanted to be a good person

The little loli Hua Nu hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, terrified.

Director Pang and Butcher Dog also quickly silenced themselves, not daring to speak.....

After a moment, seeing that the saint remained silent, the three exchanged glances and then continued to whisper among themselves,

Hua Nu, "So what do we do next?"

Butcher Dog shook his head, clearly at a loss.

However, Director Pang's face revealed an unfathomable expression.....

......

Meanwhile.

On the Sky Mother Ship.

Even though it was late at night, Lady Jin was still dressed in proper noble attire, sitting quietly on the sofa in her luxurious reception room, with a deep gaze and an expressionless face, pondering something unknown.....

....

Late-Night Investigation Room.

Fang Ze's thoughts also began to shift from the remnants of the Si Family to Lady Jin.

He remembered that on the day he and Lady Jin were captured, she made two gestures toward him.

One was a shake of her head, signaling Fang Ze not to resist or question.

This gesture later proved to be correct.

Given the power and domineering nature of the Defense Team, Fang Ze would have definitely ended up in much worse straits if he had resisted at that time.

The other was Lady Jin forming the word "wait" with her mouth to Fang Ze.

But Fang Ze could never puzzle out the meaning of this "wait".

Wait?

Wait for what?

Was it to wait for someone to save him and Lady Jin?

Or was it to wait for a turn of events, so he wouldn't reveal the truth of the matter prematurely?

Or was it simply a word to calm Fang Ze's heart?

To be honest, had an ordinary person said such a thing to Fang Ze, he might not have thought much of it.

But having interacted with Lady Jin twice, Fang Ze knew how intelligent she was, and how clear-headed she was in her actions.

Moreover, last night, Bai Zhi had told Fang Ze about the purpose of Lady Jin taking the crimson pendant that day and her probing of him.

So Fang Ze felt even more that Lady Jin's instruction to "wait" must have a purpose, a deeper meaning.

But Fang Ze didn't know what it was.

And tonight, having learned from Master Fenda that the Defense Team had contacted the Jiang Family and the Bai Family, but both families had disappeared without trace, Fang Ze was even more puzzled.

He had a feeling that the disappearance of the two families was related to the "wait" mentioned by Lady Jin.

But what on earth were they doing?
Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

When faced with trouble, were they sticking their heads in the sand like ostriches?

Or did they have some kind of emergency plan or strategy?

Fang Ze always felt that there was something he didn't know.....

After pondering for a long time and still being unable to decipher the meaning of Lady Jin's "wait", Fang Ze decided not to think about it anymore.

He disabled the disguise of the Late-Night Investigation Room and then walked over to the table.

The subject of this late-night investigation was the first person who had actively responded to Fang Ze's summons.

Moreover, he was a person of the Spirit Ascension level.

And on top of that, Fang Ze had gotten quite a bit of information from him, even taking full control of the person.

So, Fang Ze felt that the rewards from this investigation should be quite substantial.....

Thinking this, Fang Ze couldn't help but look at the items on the table.

But upon looking, Fang Ze was a bit surprised.

Because there wasn't just one item on the table, but three.

The first item was a comb.

The second was a small golden bell.

The third was a piece of stone that Fang Ze was very familiar with. In the stone sat a little monk, looking incredibly lifelike.

This was the second time Fang Ze had received multiple rewards.

The last time he got so many rewards was when investigating Golden Fox. He also received three items then. (Chapter 71)

Back then, Fang Ze wondered whether he received three items because Golden Fox was a Tier 2 Fuser, or because he had gathered too much information, making the single item related to Golden Fox insufficient to "pay" for his rewards, resulting in three items.

Now, Fang Ze could be sure that it was probably because the value of the rewards related to the person being investigated was too low, and he gathered too much information.

As he thought this, Fang Ze also took a look at the three rewards.

The first reward was a comb.

Holding it quietly in his hand for a moment, information about the comb instantly appeared in Fang Ze's mind,

[Hair Loss Comb]

As long as you use this comb on your hair, the hair will begin to fall out naturally, and your cultivation efficiency will slightly improve.

Fang Ze:.....

Fang Ze felt the Investigation Room was a bit malicious.

Initially, rewarding a comb for investigating a monk was already pushing it.

But it turned out to be a "Hair Loss Comb"!

Isn't this outright mockery?!

While thinking this, Fang Ze put away the comb and picked up the second item.

After a moment, the information about the second reward entered Fang Ze's mind.

[Meditation Golden Bell]

As long as you carry this golden bell with you, your heart will be extremely calm, devoid of any stray thoughts, and Mind Powers below the Yang Transformation phase will be ineffective against you.

Fang Ze:.....

Frankly, Fang Ze thought that this Extraordinary Artifact was very useful!

After all, not all Mind Powers are like Master Fenda's Lie Detection, which is face-to-face with Fang Ze, sipping tea while activating his powers.

Some Mind Powers can be used in battle to affect the enemy's momentum.

Others can be employed secretly among a crowd, taking people by surprise.

Moreover, Mind Powers aren't just about Lie Detection; there's hypnosis, guidance, fear, intimidation, and so on—abilities that directly target one's mind, all falling under the Mind Category.

Now, with this [Meditation Golden Bell], for a short time, Mind Powers will no longer be an issue for Fang Ze!

However...what Fang Ze wanted to say wasn't this, rather...

Don't forget, Master Fenda is an outstanding Mind Power User.

Yet the Investigation Room rewarded him with something that defends against Mind Powers, isn't this too much of a slap in the face?

Is the Investigation Room harboring malice towards Master Fenda....

What are they doing?

Openly mocking?

With these thoughts, Fang Ze could not help but feel slightly apprehensive about the third item. It wouldn't also be something mocking Master Fenda, would it?

Sorry. Since I need to sort out the storyline moving forward, I've been a bit stuck. This led to the late writing.

I'll try to update earlier tomorrow.
