What era is it, still traditional card making

Chapter 790 The lingering ghost

"Mr. Branch Picker, we actually saw a dark shadow on your body. Could it be that the owner of this dark shadow is..."

"Black shadow? Maybe it's related to the Last King. After all, at the end of that battle, I used a fighting method that was almost like self-destruction. Maybe I have been entangled by the Last King's black shadow since then.

If that's the case, my nightmare would make sense.

So that's how it is, it turns out that the Last King has been pestering me all this time."

As Abonias listened, he felt something was wrong and said hesitantly:

"Mr. Branch Gatherer, your reaction is too calm! This is a being that even the ancestor of our race could not contend with, and now it's possessed in you!"

"How else would I react?"

Ye Qiong asked Aponias very calmly, and then continued:

"It was indeed a surprise to me that the Last King possessed me, but thanks to this, I was able to know one thing, that is, my last wave of self-explosion was meaningful.

His current condition is definitely not very good.

When it eats away at me, it just acts on instinct.

That void force seems to want to use me as a substitute for the last king?"

Upon hearing this, Aponius' tone suddenly became much more anxious:

"Mr. Branch Gatherer, this is a big deal! If you are devoured by the power of nothingness, you will become like the Last King, passively devouring everything around you."

"Don't worry, I will release you from my consciousness space before that."

"Is that the point?"

"And help you reshape your body?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Branch Gatherer, your fate after being eaten may be similar to our fate after being swallowed by the Moon of Destiny."

  Ye Qiong was quite calm about this and replied calmly:

"The power of nothingness is in my hands. At least it won't be as uncontrollable as the Last King."

Aponias was completely speechless.

Now she finally understood what her younger sister meant.

  Mr. Branch Gatherer has indeed changed. He now cares more about the world than his own safety.

One can clearly see the divinity in him, and this is the change that has taken place in Lord Branch Gatherer.

Aponias didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but if it continued like this,

The Gatherer will definitely choose to sacrifice himself for the safety of the world.

Because nowadays, there is no human emotion in him at all, as if there is nothing in this world worth his attachment.

Mr. Branch Gatherer is obviously just a teenager, why does he behave like an old god who has lived for tens of thousands of years?

  Just when Aponias was puzzled,

Ye Qiong had already set off and walked out the door.

Since he woke up earlier, Ning Shanhai had not gotten up yet.

After washing up, he left a note and left the villa.

  Originally, according to his plan, he was going to the Hanging City to look for the Dragon Mother.

But not long after he left, Li Qingtian called.

Ye Qiong took out his cell phone and slid the screen to answer the call.

"Hello, is this Director Li? What do you want from me so early in the morning?"

"I heard someone attacked you yesterday?"

"There are two groups of people in total. One group is just ordinary people, and the other group is led by a red-level card master."

"I already know the details. The company's director sent someone to attack you. If nothing unexpected happens, someone else will come looking for you today. For your safety, please stay in the investigation bureau for the time being."

Ye Qiong was silent for a while and did not respond immediately.

Li Qingtian was able to know that he had gone out at the first moment, and he was obviously being monitored.

The attack on company directors is probably just an excuse.

Bureau of Investigation, no.

It should not be just the Investigation Bureau.

  Many people must be worried about him now.

That's why there is this phone call now.

Thinking of this,

Ye Qiong quickly knew how to answer.

"Okay, I see. Shall we go now?"

"Come over as soon as possible if you can. The company's directors may make some big moves soon."

"it is good."

  Ye Qiong hung up the phone.

Aponius' voice came:

"Sir, you are not going to look for the Dragon Mother today?"

"If I go now, the Investigation Bureau will probably be even more worried about me. Let's put this matter aside for now. It won't be too late to look for the Dragon Mother when we are free from surveillance."

"Okay, sir, do you need me to investigate the information of yesterday's attacker?"

  If Aponius hadn't told me, Ye Qiong would have almost forgotten.

The other party is able to invade the cyber world, so it is extremely easy to obtain the attacker's information.

Ye Qiong nodded and replied:

"Okay, tell me immediately if anything happens."

"clear."

After Li Qingtian called, he changed direction and took a taxi to the Investigation Bureau headquarters.

  It's only around 7 o'clock, but the investigation bureau is already bustling with activity.

Cars kept stopping in front of the Investigation Bureau.

It seems that many people have already known about the impending arrival of the Invisible Ones and are planning to come to the Investigation Bureau to learn more about the details.

Because Li Qingtian had shown his face in front of the members of the Investigation Bureau yesterday, he was not stopped at all when he came in.

  But the abnormal sight still exists.

Those who can come to the Investigation Bureau are obviously people of status.

It is normal for them to know Ye Qiong's information.

Ye Qiong ignored the looks from the people around him and went straight to Li Qingtian's office.

  I knocked on the door lightly, and a response came from inside:

"Come in."

When I opened the door, I saw Li Qingtian who was still working in the office.

At this moment, he was still wearing the same suit as yesterday, his hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that he had not gone home all night.

Li Qingtian raised his head and saw Ye Qiong not far away. He smiled kindly and said:

"sit down."

After sitting down, Li Qingtian pushed a stack of information in front of Ye Qiong and said:

  "Kenzie Group and Dishi Heavy Industries, it was the directors of these two companies who sent people to attack you." Ye Qiong was a little surprised at Li Qingtian's efficiency. He had just finished the phone call and he had already found out who did it?

Seeing his puzzled look, Li Qingtian explained:

"We received a message from a restaurant owner yesterday and started investigating.

You also know that there are many things that cannot be discussed over the phone, so I didn’t inform you of the specific situation immediately.”

"clear."

After saying that, he picked up the documents on the table and read them carefully.

  The business scope of these two companies is global, and their sphere of influence is quite large.

Among them, there are a total of seven red-level card masters who have joined the Kenzie Group and nine in Emperor Lion Heavy Industry. In addition, there are many gold-level and purple-level card masters working for them.

  While Ye Qiong was checking the information, Li Qingtian said to him:

"These two companies are very powerful. Even if the Investigation Bureau intervenes, I'm afraid they won't care."

  He turned to the next page and replied:

"How long do I need to hide here?"

"I don't know. At least after the Hidden Ones incident is resolved, you can't leave the Bureau for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiong just nodded slightly to show that he understood, and did not ask any other unnecessary questions.

Li Qingtian originally thought that the other party would be very resistant to his proposal.

  After all, from what he knew, this young man was the type who was extremely confident in his own abilities.

Rather than relying on the protection of others, the boy should prefer to solve everything with his own strength.

  Wasn’t the previous jailbreak caused by this?

Soon, Ye Qiong finished reading the information in his hand. He pushed the information back to the other party and said:

"I already understand the details. I will stay in the Investigation Bureau obediently. But can I suggest something?"

"You said."

"I hope to be a real member of the Bureau."

"what do you mean?"

"Can you assign me some tasks? After all, I can't just sit here doing nothing, right? If I do that, my colleagues who are still busy will probably roll their eyes at me."

  Li Qingtian had not expected that the other party's request would be this.

Of course there was no problem in assigning the task, as he naturally trusted the boy's ability.

However, he would definitely not give some relatively core tasks to the other party.

"The tasks I give you will basically be small things. Can you accept this?"

"Of course no problem."

  Just like that, Li Qingtian did start assigning tasks to Ye Qiong.

It's just that the tasks he gave out were all extremely simple, such as helping to call someone over, or handing a document to someone.

Maybe it was because Ye Qiong’s professional level was not very high, so he was assigned some errands?

Ye Qiong had no complaints about this and followed Li Qingtian obediently, just like his secretary.

  At this time, Li Qingtian was a little confused. What exactly did this guy want to do?

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

Ye Qiong called Ning Shanhai and then moved into the dormitory arranged by Li Qingtian.

Aponius' voice came into her mind. Her tone was a little hesitant, and she was obviously puzzled by Ye Qiong's actions today:

"Sir, are you trying to gain the trust of these humans?"

"No."

"Ah? Why then? There are only nine days left until the Hidden Ones arrive."

In Aponias' opinion, there is absolutely no need for His Excellency to do this. With his strength, if he wants to leave, who in the world can stop him?

Shouldn't the most important thing for them now be to find a way to deal with the invisible ones as soon as possible? Why waste time like this?

"What the Investigation Bureau knows, Dragon Mother must know. We should just wait and see what happens. I can't get away from it for now, so I can only wait for Dragon Mother to contact me."

"What if the Mother of Dragons doesn't come?"

"Then we just have to wait for the Invisible One to arrive. There is really not much that can be done in nine days."

Although Aponius didn't understand, he nodded in agreement.

"I understand."

In this way, nine days later,

The atmosphere in the Investigation Bureau today is more serious than ever before. All members came to the conference room to listen to the director's arrangements.

  At this time, they no longer looked at Ye Qiong with strange eyes.

After all, they saw everything Ye Qiong did in the past ten days. Although there are still many suspicious points about this young man, his current performance seems to be quite honest. With the director watching over him, nothing should go wrong.

Li Qingtian came to the screen and continued to give tasks to the members.

  At this time, Tianjing City was also completely on alert.

Armored troops kept flying through the sky.

  Almost all the gold and red level card masters in the country were gathered here.

In order to fight against the invisible ones, they have tried their best.

After making his summary remarks, Li Qingtian bowed deeply to everyone present.

"I'll leave the next steps up to you all."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the war room became extremely tragic.

What they are going to face next is a disaster-level enemy, and no one is sure they can survive against such a being.

But even so, no one was afraid of fighting.

  After some mobilization,

The members of the Bureau of Investigation walked out.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiong and Li Qingtian were the only ones left in the operations room.

Li Qingtian showed a helpless smile and said to him:

"I may not be able to take care of you from now on. After you leave the Investigation Bureau, you have two choices. First, go to the location I sent you and hide for a while. Second, stay in Tianjing City and don't leave the city easily."

Ye Qiong opened his phone and saw the location Li Qingtian had sent him.

He didn't look closely because he had no intention of going to this place from the beginning.

"I am ready to go out with you to fight the Hidden Ones."

  Li Qingtian didn't seem surprised by his answer. He patted him on the shoulder and replied:

"I'm afraid that won't work. The higher-ups won't allow you to participate in this operation."

"As a member of the Investigation Bureau, can't I just follow you?"

"This"

  Li Qingtian rarely showed a look of embarrassment.

Given the other party's strength, if they could go to the front line, they would definitely be able to help a lot.

but,

Given that the other party might be connected to a natural disaster, would he really dare to take the risk of disobeying orders from his superiors and take the other party to the front line?

This doubt had just arisen for a short while before he let it go.

  Li Qingtian saw the boy's eyes, without any confusion, as firm as ever.

I understood immediately.

His answer was actually not important. No matter what he said, the boy would choose to go to the battlefield.

Seeing this, he could only smile helplessly again, and then said:

"Okay, I approve this mission."
