Efficacy: Cut off casting (can be activated three times a day, effective below level 6.)
Void Cage (can trap all existences below level six, can be activated five times a day.)
Strong obsession (faced with the mystery related to "faith", there is a high probability that you will not be deceived by the other party.)
Four-Pillar Elements (During the evolution process, it absorbed the power of the nearby [Four-faced Nightmare] and gained the abilities of the related four elements. These abilities still need to be further developed.)

In the face of evil beliefs, we must go all out and do our best to eliminate evil. If you have reservations, all future use of secret techniques may be interrupted!
In the process of using the "Void Cage", there is a certain probability that one of one's own high-level secret items will be trapped in it together with the enemy. (new)

Tip: Please note, this is not a weapon for fools!

Another reminder: It’s broken, but not broken. Think about how it evolved, maybe its potential is much more than that! 】

Zhang Qingxiang rubbed his hands and was ecstatic.

I never expected that [Blood Knife Flower] could evolve on its own!
Similar situations in the previous life were not unheard of, but they were also very rare. Moreover, these secret objects that can evolve themselves can almost complete the second and third evolution in the end, and eventually reach a very high level.

After evolution, their abilities will be greatly enhanced, not just their rank.

For example, [Blood Knife Flower] adds the ability of "Four Pillar Elements", and it comes from the powerful "Four-sided Nightmare"!
The four-element abilities of "Four-sided Nightmare" are: darkness, chaos, misfortune, and oblivion.

All of them are extremely terrifying and weird negative abilities. When applied to the enemy, the effect is very good!

There are countless kinds of "abilities" in all things in the secret world. In the last life, someone tried to make a summary similar to the "Periodic Table of Elements".

But it was not completed until Zhang Qingxiang was reborn. What is certain is that these abilities do have their own "systems", such as the power system, the fire system, the emotion system, etc.

In their respective systems, although they have the same ability, there are differences in strength and weakness.

For example, the "evil" ability among the four pillar elements may be just a casual curse at the lowest level, and can only disgust people at the most.

The higher ones might actually bring bad luck once or twice.

The "disaster" ability possessed by "Four-faced Nightmare" is a super-high-level ability that can affect "destiny".

Therefore, if the ability of the "Four Pillar Elements" is fully developed, it will far surpass the other abilities of the [Blood Knife Flower] itself.

Regarding the self-evolution of the secret object in the previous life, there was a theory that existed only in speculation but has not been verified: the secret object actually has a certain degree of self-awareness.

It is even possible that the secret object itself is a kind of "life" from another dimension, but this kind of life cannot be understood from a human perspective.

Zhang Qingxiang took a deep breath, held the Blood Knife Flower tightly, and tried to activate the power of the "Four Pillar Elements".

The first thing he felt was the power of "chaos". In the void cage of [Blood Knife Flower], Uros activated two sixth-level secret weapons, used up the little mysterious power left in his body, and fought with his opponent with all his strength. remember.

As a result, he discovered that the void cage that trapped him... was actually stronger!
His psychological defense was already crumbling, and under the power of "chaos", everything from psychology to emotion to his strength was completely chaotic.

The Tangtang [Dominator] collapsed completely, his whole body went limp and he knelt down. He threw away all the secret objects with his hands, held himself helplessly in front of him, and burst into tears!
"My [watchmaker] profession really has major flaws!"

"I don't deserve what I have now."

"Sooner or later the church will discover my true strength, and I will be beaten back to my original shape..."

Zhang Qingxiang threw a pair of handcuffs in and successfully locked Uros.

But in fact, a pair of handcuffs was not safe. Zhang Qingxiang informed his men through the communication channel, and then immediately escorted Uros personally and locked him in the mysterious prison.

"I have to give Yihang Dao and Dr. Ma a new task to develop a shackle to control high-level professionals."

Near the small building, the fourth-level captains were mopping up the soldiers.

Tian Mingkun was very angry: "The team leader has dealt with the strongest ruler Uros and has captured the criminal!"

"We attacked the few with more troops and besieged several soldiers, but we were even slower than the team leader!"

"Are we all trash?"

Everyone couldn't save their face, so the few soldiers who were still resisting suffered disaster. They were quickly beaten with bruises and bruises by the ashamed and angry captains, and then were handcuffed.

Two of the five retinue soldiers died and three were seriously injured.

While Ximen Ye notified the cleaning team to come in, he happily looked at the smashed home: These tattered furniture had long been wanted to be replaced.

Now you can use public money to exchange for new ones...

After Zhang Qingxiang imprisoned Ulos in the mysterious prison, he suddenly remembered something and called Ximen Ye who was still at the scene: "Let the brothers in the cleanup team wait for a moment."

Then Zhang Qingxiang informed Dr. Ma and Taoist Yihang: "You should all go and take a look at the Four Pillar Divine Prison. You will definitely gain a lot."

Both of them were sleeping at this time, and they were really tired from the noise.

Even though both of them were powerful professionals, they had been arguing nonstop for two days and two nights, and they were all drooling.

Several of Dr. Ma's assistants were responsible for recording the "conversation" between the two.

Later, Taoist Yihang also realized something and quickly called his subordinates over.

The two of them rested, and the people below were too excited to fall asleep. Their eyes were gleaming as they sorted out their various wild ideas.

In the past, when they conducted independent research, it was easy for them to reach dead ends.

After the quarrel, both parties' thinking became more agile than ever. The solutions to many problems are hidden in their heated arguments.

The two of them actually just slept for two hours.

But after Zhang Qingxiang explained what the "Four Pillar Divine Prison" was, the two men were resurrected with full health and immediately drove over with his men to kill them.

Along the way, the two of them desperately urged their men to drive faster and never let the other party get there first.

However, Dr. Ma can mobilize more resources - his drivers are recruited from the military driver class, and some of these people can even work as stunt drivers in the film and television industry after retirement.

How do the researchers under the First Channel Man compare?
By the time a channel man arrived, Dr. Ma had already been studying the "Four Pillar Divine Prison" for twenty minutes.

A Taoist man with a sullen face secretly swore in his heart that he must research the legendary "Flying Boat" and "Guiding Cart" in our Taoist sect!

After Feng Lintong came back, he vividly described to Zhang Qingxiang the "at war" and "tit-for-tat" situation between Taoist Yihang and Dr. Ma in front of the Four Pillar Divine Prison.

With her as a gossip spreader, the entire secret case team system soon knew that there were two "mountains" in the mysterious subject field in the original city, and they couldn't deal with the noise all day long.

Zhang Qingxiang thought about it and still preferred "his own people".

He called a channel person back and took out Xingtian's "wallet".

"There are two [Spiritual Seeds] inside, which can be understood as [Original Objects] unique to Jishi Sect."

"But this kind of source material is very dangerous. If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person."

"Take it back and study it, and try to come up with a standard source material before Dr. Ma."

Taoist Yihang's eyes lit up: "It's better to be in the office. Whenever good things happen, think about your own people."

Both Taoist Yihang and Zhang Qingxiang have noticed that Dr. Ma's [Military Dog Project] has also changed towards a "standard source material".

No matter how obedient the secret spirit is, it is not as obedient as the warriors.

It may even be that from the beginning, this [Military Dog Project] had some hidden content. It cannot be stated clearly, but it is actually the development of source materials.

A sailor took his wallet and left happily.

Zhang Qingxiang looked at the time and prepared to wait for Uros to dry out again so that he could fully understand the reality. If he were to be interrogated again, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

There was a knock on the door. Bai Qian pushed the door open, but someone was outside. She asked secretly, "Team leader, can I come in?"

Ye Yousheng in the office pouted.

Zhang Qingxiang: "Come in."

Bai Qian came in and glanced at Ye Yousheng without leaving a trace, and then said seriously: "Team leader, my plan worked. Qiao Manman has already contacted the [Law Enforcer] who sneaked into the original city."

Zhang Qingxiang said calmly: "[Dominator Uros] has been captured by us..."

The little girl murmured: hindsight.

Bai Qian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The Dominator? Not the Dominator, but [Sacrificial Valdez]."

"Huh?" Zhang Qingxiang was also surprised: "Are you sure?"

"Very sure." Bai Qian said, "Qiao Manman has made an appointment with the other party to meet him at noon today."

……

Valdez was also surprised when he received the news from headquarters.

She placed moles around both Uros and Matthew.

She knew that Uros was going to execute the "plan" this morning, but after that, she lost contact with the mole.

This is not unexpected. It is also appropriate to cut off all contact with the outside world before the big operation.

But it didn't take long for the inner ghost's soul fire to go out.

The mole didn't know that from the moment he was bribed by Valdez and got the first money from the other party, his soul entered Valdez's "vision".

This is one of Valdez's professional abilities.

With the help of this relationship, Valdez can determine the life and death of the mole, and can also roughly judge the distance between the mole and himself.

After the inner ghost's soul fire was extinguished, Valdes immediately took action and began searching in that direction.

Without much difficulty, she discovered the battlefield blocked by the local security bureau.

When she arrived, Zhang Qingxiang had already left.

Only the cleanup team and Dr. Ma's people were left at the scene, and these people were unable to detect Valdez who was spying in secret.

But Valdez could observe their emotions, and it was obvious that the former city's secret case team had won a great victory.

Valdes couldn't believe it: Uros was in danger?

But Uros is very powerful! He is one of the strongest fighters in our teaching.

Valdez thinks that Uros is a fool, and he is in a high position only because of his strong professional ability.

Valdez has always considered herself the leader of the three law enforcers. Whether it is Matthew or Uros, she is confident that she can defeat them.

But winning can also be hard and cost dear.

Valdes has always felt that the three law enforcers should be the strongest in the world, but he did not expect that Uros was defeated in the original city.

She quietly returned to the hotel where she was staying, wondering whether to inform the headquarters of the news, and then she received the news from the headquarters.

All the strongholds in the original city have been lost and are suspected to have been uprooted. But there was a devout believer who tried his best to contact the headquarters and was willing to provide help for the church's operations in the original city.

Valdez also asked about Uros.

The headquarters immediately tried to contact Uros. A few minutes later, the headquarters sent Valdes a message: Uros had lost contact.

But according to some mysterious means, he is still alive.

Valdez felt even more incredible: "Still alive, but unable to be contacted. Captured?!"

This is more difficult than killing Uros directly.

"Is the mysterious power of Yuan City so powerful?"

Valdez didn't plan to meet any believers. She was a high-ranking [law enforcer], and these believers had too low status in the church. But now, she felt the need to meet this believer.

"Help me make an appointment for lunch with that devout believer."

……

Zhang Qingxiang couldn't care about Uros for the time being, and immediately called back the captains who had gone home to rest.

The captains gathered in the Yameni office and held a small meeting.

Xiong Zhenlin was very excited: "Another one? What a good thing. Catching one law enforcer is a big credit, catching two is an even bigger credit, hehehehe!"

Ximen Ye analyzed calmly: "The two law enforcers entered our city but acted separately, which shows that there is no unity within the Jishi Sect."

So Zhang Qingxiang quickly made a plan: "Valdes and Qiao Manman will make an appointment at 12 noon, and the location is here..."

A holographic projection map rose in the center of the office.

Zhang Qingxiang pointed to a park. In a corner of the park, there are dense trees and well-proportioned gardens. There are several three- or four-story single-family buildings nestled among them, each of which is quite artistic.

"Under Bai Qian's secret influence, Qiao Manman made an appointment at this high-end private banquet called 'Weishe'."

“There’s very little foot traffic around, which is great for us.”

"At eleven o'clock, everyone must enter the predetermined position. We secretly surrounded Valdez from four positions."

Zhang Qingxiang glanced at Ye Yousheng, and then said: "Through our personal relationship, we have tried to cancel other reservations for the 'Weishe' at noon today. We have replaced them with comrades from the Public Security Bureau, and once a fight breaks out, they will quickly and orderly withdraw."

"We are fully prepared, so this operation must only succeed and not fail!"

The captains stood up together and said, "Yes!"

The so-called "personal relationship" is of course Ye Jiucheng.

"Weishe" happens to be opened by a junior Ye Jiucheng. Before canceling the reservations of these guests, Zhang Qingxiang also asked comrades from the Municipal Bureau to investigate some of these guests to see if anyone knew Qiao Manman to avoid leaking the news.

There was no need for detectives from the Secret Service to pretend to be guests because they were worried that Valdez would see through the presence of professionals.

……

The three groups had another big operation, and the agents who were supposed to rest in the morning were all recalled in advance.

But no one had any complaints.

This period of time is actually not busy - compared to when the secret case team was first formed, when there was a serious shortage of manpower and everyone was on duty, it has been greatly improved.

Moreover, we are all professionals, so we don’t feel tired even if we don’t sleep for two or three days.

In recent times, the salary of the former city secret case team has been greatly improved.

In addition to the original salary, "performance rewards" have been added. For temporary overtime work like today, additional performance wages will be given to everyone.

A “merit index system” is also being trialled.

If you have outstanding performance in performing a task, an "index" will be determined based on the degree of danger of the task, and then a numerical value will be recorded.

This value is accumulated in each person's name. After reaching a certain amount, some secret items, secret medicines, etc. can be exchanged to the secret case team.

Every time you work overtime, you can get a basic point.

In Zhang Qingxiang's previous life, ordinary agents often joked: It is not a merit system, but a hard work system.

Because most ordinary agents do not have the strength or luck to achieve success in dangerous missions.

They accumulate points basically by working overtime again and again, taking one point at a time, and slowly accumulating them.

There really is no "credit", it's all "hard work".

After receiving the news, the agents rushed back to the team, packed their equipment and prepared to go.

Wang Changyong called again and asked: "You guys have another big move? Do you want to help?"

Zhang Qingxiang thought for a moment: "It shouldn't be necessary this time."

At ten o'clock, Zhang Qingxiang was already sitting in a command vehicle and parked on the roadside near the park.

I found a parking space specifically.

Zhang Yanei will not make the kind of low-level mistakes that are exposed due to illegal parking abroad.

The command vehicle was donated by a local entrepreneur. There are three command vehicles in total, and there are also 20 police vehicles.

During a previous duty, the secret case team saved the lives of an entrepreneur's family.

Zhang Qingxiang can't remember clearly, but it was probably the credit of Peng Shuangjie's team.

The donation ceremony was more than half a month ago. Zhang Ruiqian attended the ceremony as a courtesy and the office was not available.

After the donation, it took half a month to modify various equipment, and it was only distributed to each group yesterday.

Yanei now goes out to handle the case, and finally changes the situation.

In the car, several young detectives worked conscientiously on various electronic devices in the car, and through the permissions received from the provincial department, they transferred the images from various nearby surveillance cameras.

They stared at these pictures, and as soon as [Priest Valdez] appeared, they must find it immediately.

The secret case team still doesn't know what "Valdez" looks like, but guesses from various clues that he should be a tall Nordic man.

Zhang Qingxiang did not look at the surveillance footage. He sat in the car and communicated with Feng Lintong at any time: "Are there any suspicious persons?"

"not yet."

The dove—Snow White—has also evolved into a secret spirit.

The labor office didn't even take action on this matter.

Mother Feng takes care of Xiao Hui and her little friends every day. None of these big dogs stops. Although she is very happy, she is also really tired.

Xiao Hui’s house demolition is simply not demolition, it’s demolition.

Snow White's well-behaved and sensible nature soothed Mother Feng's tired heart.

Think about it, Xiao Hui is always making a lot of noise when Feng's mother goes to work every day. But the white dove stayed high and did not cause any trouble to the mother.

But as long as mom is free, she will take the initiative to fly over with a wave of her hand, land in her palm, and cover your arm with her soft feathered head.

What a good boy!
So Feng’s mother fed it with the entrails of the secret beast every day, and hung the pigeon cage on the ore washing machine at night.

Now that the ore washing machine has been put into prison by the government, Xiao Hui can no longer access it. But Feng Lintong worked tirelessly to send Snow White to the mysterious prison every day.

Perhaps because of the small size of the white pigeon, it evolved into a secret spirit without even realizing it!

After evolution, Snow White, like Xiao Hui, automatically has the ability to "rule" her kind.

There are a huge number of birds in the park. After Zhang Qingxiang made the action plan, Snow White flew here first, and then she beat up several disobedient birds in the deep woods where ordinary people could not see. , and chased away a few wild cats that were wandering nearby and preying on birds, and completely conquered the nearby birds.

Now every bird has the eyes of Snow White and Feng Lintong.

"There are only four foreigners in the park, and none of them look like Valdes." Feng Lintong replied.

"It's still early, please wait."

At half past ten, Mr. Guo suddenly called: "Someone from the capital has come and brought you a reward for practicing the law."

"I'm on a mission."

Mr. Guo immediately said: "Okay, you get busy first and contact me when you're done."

Mr. Guo hung up the phone, and Zhang Qingxiang received several photos from Liang Zimian on his mobile phone.

The photos showed secret objects and secret medicines as a reward for him. Zhang Qingxiang was also excited when he saw them: there was something very familiar inside, it seemed to be one of the items contained behind the [Prison Law Gate] in the previous life!

"This thing is more than the seventh level..."

Escorting this batch of "rewards" were four young men, wearing the uniforms of the secret case team, who looked very heroic, but the leader held his head high, and always had the feeling of squinting downward when looking at people.

……

At eleven o'clock, Qiao Manman's nanny car drove into the parking lot. The woman wearing big sunglasses quickly got out of the car and hurried into the Weishe with her head lowered.

In the secret case team's channel, someone immediately reported: "Attention all units, Qiao Manman appears."

Zhang Qingxiang snorted coldly: "I came to wait an hour early. You are really religious."

Not long after Qiao Manman entered the reserved box, the technical team of the Public Security Bureau of the cooperative operation reported: "Qiao Manman received a phone call."

"We have access to the line and are listening."

"It's Valdez! He's checking with Joe Manman if there's anything unusual around him."

Zhang Qingxiang pressed the headset: "Take it over."

Soon the call between Qiaomanman and Valdez was connected to the channel of the secret case team.

Valdez had a rough and rough man's voice. He carefully and carefully asked Qiao Manman about various situations, and then asked Qiao Manman to go sideways to the window and spy on everything outside the window.

"It seems we haven't been exposed yet." Valdez finally let down his guard: "Just wait, I will go to the appointment on time at twelve o'clock."

"As ordered." Qiao Manman replied respectfully.

But by twelve o'clock, there was still no sign of Valdez in the entire park.

I waited until half past twelve and still no one was there.

Qiao Manman was already very anxious and couldn't help but call back the phone call just now, but couldn't get through.

If it can be opened, the technician from the provincial department has just followed the line to find Valdez.

After making the call, he destroyed the phone card.

The detectives were also a little uneasy, and people kept speculating on the public channel: "What did we do badly and was exposed?"

"Could it be that the security guards in Weishe showed their flaws?"

"If we have such a big battle, we might be busy in vain, and that guy won't dare to show up."

Zhang Qingxiang shouted: "Quiet!"

All the detectives dared not talk nonsense.

But they must have been discussing wildly in their own small groups.

Zhang Qingxiang was sitting in the command car, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed to relax, looking calm and calm.

Until one o'clock, Qiao Manman's collection suddenly rang in the Weishe.

At the same time, Feng Lintong reported: "Team leader, a suspicious person has appeared."

Zhang Qingxiang opened his eyes and looked at the surveillance screen in the command car.

At the southwest entrance of the park, a tall white man wearing a black woolen coat and a top hat walked into the park while talking on the phone.

"coming!"
