Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

Inside the stone house.

Zhan Kong's expression was complicated.

If Nan Yi hadn't warned him to be careful of Bai Yang, he probably would never have imagined that his comrades had already been infiltrated by the Black Church.

Bai Yang was even one of the instructors in charge of the magic high school's field combat training, which means he was trusted by many people.

It's hard to imagine how many people would die with resentment at the hands of their most trusted military mages, or be killed by the claws of the Ghost Wolf Beast they had always admired, should Bai Yang truly rebel.

Zhan Kong felt a sharp pain in his heart just thinking about such a scene. His fists clenched tightly, and his gratitude towards Nan Yi was beyond words.

Seeing Zhan Kong's excited expression, Nan Yi vaguely recalled the image of that lone figure who stood guard against the Wolf King and ventured deep into the Abyss of Evil.

“The Black Vatican’s infiltration was too subtle, so there’s no need to feel guilty about killing the Air Force commander,” Nan Yi comforted him.

"No matter what, Bocheng will always remember the contributions of the Southern Military Intelligence Bureau." Zhan Kong said earnestly, then said solemnly, "I won't say any more polite words. Just tell me what arrangements the Southern Military Intelligence Bureau has, and the entire Bocheng military will cooperate to the death."

The orders from above had already been given that this operation would be carried out entirely according to Nan Yi's instructions, and even he, as a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, had to obey them.

Zhan Kong had no complaints about this. He was not one to seek fame or fortune. He was willing to die for the sake of solving the problem.

Upon hearing this, Nan Yi nodded.

His visit to Xuefeng Mountain Station this time was ostensibly to discuss various matters related to the Magic College Entrance Examination with the local military in Bo City, but in reality, it was to learn about the situation in Bo City.

"I believe the Air Force Commander is already aware that the Black Vatican's operation against Bo City this time is likely just an experiment, actually a premeditated conspiracy."

Zhan Kong nodded; he already knew all this.

"Therefore, we cannot allow their conspiracy to die in the womb during this calamity in Bo City, and we must ensure that they successfully complete all the procedures."

Zhan Kong nodded seriously.

He understood the military's considerations: if they did not make appropriate sacrifices now, there would only be greater losses in the future.

What he hoped for was to ensure the safety of the people of Bo City as much as possible. Bo City can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, but once people are gone, they are truly gone.

"What does the Southern Military Intelligence Bureau need us to do?"

Nan Yi continued.

"At that time, when the beast tide besieges the city, demons and even members of the Black Church may break into the various gaps in the city's barrier."

"I need to eliminate the Air Force Command to plan the evacuation routes for the masses as soon as possible. At that time, we will have someone responsible for the safety of the people of Bocheng during the evacuation."

Unfortunately, in order not to alert the enemy, the military headquarters of Bocheng could not prepare manpower for the evacuation of the masses in advance, so this matter could only be entrusted to external forces.

“No problem,” Zhan Kong nodded.

He had been working on this privately. Although he had to do it alone due to confidentiality issues, he was very familiar with Bocheng, so he could manage even by himself.

"Then came the second thing."

Nan Yi continued.

"I need to know information about the nearby river basin. The Black Vatican has the Water Buddha Bone Bead, and they will most likely use the power of the rivers to do their things."

"By following the clues, we might be able to find the person behind it all."

Seeing this, Zhan Kong directly opened a cabinet inside the stone house and took out a map and a stack of documents.

"This is a geological map of the surrounding area compiled by the Bo City military based on each operation. It includes information such as the distribution of demons in each watershed. I hope it will be useful to you."

Nan Yi took the map, and after carefully studying it, his eyes lit up.

He had looked for some maps of Bocheng before, but none of them were as detailed as Zhan Kong's. This map even marked the approximate water volume of the river basin at different times.

These are all the property of the Bocheng military headquarters; there aren't even any electronic files. With this map, Nan Yi can then investigate along the river himself. It would be best if he could capture Wu Ku.

That is the core of Salam's henchmen.

Of course, Nan Yi didn't expect to capture the opponent in one go, but to truly solve the Bo City problem, he had to restrain Wu Ku.

Nan Yi and Zhan Kong chatted for a long time, finally ending just as Bai Yang and Pan Lijun were about to return.

Not far from the stone house.

Bai Yang puffed out smoke, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the stone house. After a while, he glanced at Pan Lijun beside him.

"What do you think Boss Zhan Kong talked about with the investigation team?" Bai Yang asked casually.

"Of course they want us to cooperate with them. The Magic College Entrance Examination is a big deal, and the investigation team is so small. They'll definitely need our manpower to cooperate." Pan Lijun said matter-of-factly.

Hearing this answer that everyone knew, Bai Yang seemed a little unwilling and continued, "Do you think they might talk about something else?"

"Other? What else? Whatever we talk about is none of our business. We just do whatever Boss Zhan Kong tells us to do," Pan Li said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang secretly rolled his eyes.

This damned woman is Zhan Kong's die-hard fan. Whatever Zhan Kong says is right, and she'll attack wherever he points.

The stone door opened the next moment.

The members of the investigation team and Zhan Kong came out, and the leader was now another officer from the investigation team. Nan Yi naturally walked in the middle of the group.

"Deputy Captain Pan, Bai Yang, you're back?" Zhan Kong said with a hearty laugh.

“Yes, Boss Zhan Kong. We’ve already told the hunter teams at the post station, and they immediately behaved themselves,” Pan Lijun replied.

"Well done."

Zhan Kong nodded.

"I just spoke with Officer Zhu, and we're going to entrust Luo Yunbo with the task of investigating the Magic College Entrance Examination."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "But, Boss Zhan Kong, I've been in charge of the students' affairs before, why don't you leave it to me this time?"

Zhan Kong gave a cold "humph".

"You still dare to say that? I didn't even settle the score with you last summer when your Ghost Wolf went berserk, but those students still remember you. Didn't you disrupt their college entrance exam preparation? Are you going to take responsibility if they fail the exam?"

"That...that was an accident..."

Upon seeing Zhan Kong bring up the matter again, Bai Yang's momentum immediately deflated, and he dared not mention the matter of the Magic College Entrance Examination anymore.

Not to mention doubting the void.

"Deputy Captain Pan, these next two days you and Bai Yang will strengthen patrols along the border and give the demon lairs along the border a good talking-to, so they can keep quiet and prevent any trouble from arising."

"Yes, Boss Zhan Kong!"

Pan Lijun immediately agreed, while Bai Yang looked reluctant but still forced a smile.

"Sister Pan and I will definitely complete the mission!"

"Go ahead."

After Bai Yang and Pan Lijun left, Zhan Kong summoned Luo Yunbo and asked him to lead the investigation team back to Bocheng.
