Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

A disciple specially recruited by the Yinxian Sect three years ago...

Eight or nine out of ten of them came from Dongxing Street or the surrounding area.

This is interesting.

There's another case on Dongxing Street where nearly a hundred people have died but no news has come out. What a coincidence, the Yinxian Sect once held a special recruitment event there.

Who would believe you if you said there was no problem?

"What about those disciples now? Are they abroad? In the Yin Xian Sect? Or... are they all dead?"

Upon hearing Yu Ji's words, He Li pressed for an answer.

Yu Ji nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Alive, but not registered dead."

"Many people in the surrounding area knew about the Yinxian Sect's special recruitment event back then, and those disciples who were recruited into the sect were all outstanding students from the Dongxing Street campus."

"Many people know about this; it can't be hidden. There's clear information about them in the Shanghai database."

"So they must still be alive."

"I just don't know where it is..."

As she said this, Mu Lan frowned.

"Something's not right. If the Yin Xian Sect's recruitment activities are related to the suspected deaths of nearly a hundred people on Dongxing Street, then the forces that are covering up and suppressing information about this case..."

"The Yin Xian School should not be overlooked."

"After all, they've kept information under such tight control."

"Logically speaking, they should at least have cleaned up and covered up the information about the recruited disciples."

"As long as we can't find information about those disciples..."

"Even if you want to investigate, it will be difficult to find any clues."

"But they didn't hide this fact..."

Hearing her words, Yu Ji nodded.

"There are two possibilities: First, the Yinxian Sect is indeed unrelated to the Dongxing Street case, so there is no need to hide it. Second, the Yinxian Sect and related forces simply do not care about this information."

"They were confident that even if someone wanted to investigate the Dongxing Street case and learned about these things..."

"We can't find any results either."

"It's impossible that it's unrelated!" Mu Lan sneered.

"There must be something wrong with the Yin Xian Sect and these other factions."

"So it can only be the second possibility..."

As she spoke, Mu Lan's tone was cold: "How arrogant. They're clearly telling us that even if they give us clues, we won't be able to find anything."

"That's how arrogant they are in Shanghai!"

As she spoke, she looked at He Li.

"What do we do now?"

"Judging from this situation, even if we question the Yin Xian Sect, we probably won't get anything out of them."

"After all, on the surface, they were just recruiting disciples for the sect normally, and those people were alive and well..." She was saying this with some helplessness when He Li waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Asking won't get you anything out of them."

All that could be heard was He Li's cold laugh.

Finally, he looked at Mu Lan: "Do you know why Kyoto specifically granted me the privilege of acting first and reporting later?"

"You don't really think...?"

"They only gave it to me because Kyoto values ​​me, right?"

He Li shook his head: "No, of course not. Kyoto already knew that Shanghai was a very complex place. Ordinary investigators would come here and find nothing, let alone no clues..."

"So what if we have clues?"

"Just look at the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau."

"The martial arts sects, major families, and official forces here have already colluded together."

"If an ordinary investigator comes along with clues, what can they do when faced with enemies all over the world? How can they investigate? Do they even dare to continue?" He sneered as he said this.

Yu Ji immediately realized what was going on.

"So, Kyoto gives you special privileges..."

"Actually, I want you to use drastic measures, break the rules, forcefully shatter the impossibility of finding anything... and suppress all resistance forces with sufficient power?"

"What else?" He Li nodded.

If we want to solve the problems in Shanghai, we can't do without him.

Others? They don't have the ability, they don't have the courage...

It's impossible to do.

"Alright, enough chit-chat."

"Come with me, let's start with the Yin Xian Sect... and give those sheepdogs, those criminal organizations, and those powerful figures with ulterior motives in Shanghai a little shock!"

Buzz! As he spoke, golden light emanated, and He Li, along with his two partners, instantly descended above the crowd in front of him.

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

When he saw He Li, whose eyes shone with golden light and had no pupils...

The ordinary people were immediately shocked.

"Golden eyes...no pupils...look???"

"Holy crap! I'm seeing a god!!!"

"They should be... they should be the national investigators who've been getting a lot of attention online lately, right?"

"I heard they all possess superpowers, but... but are these really superpowers? Look at him... he's not even human anymore!"

"Quickly pray and make a wish!"

"Maybe your wish will come true?"

Amidst excited discussions, countless ordinary people forgot about the Yin Xian Sect, which they had just been longing for their children to join, and instead began to devoutly worship He Li.

The latter didn't pay attention at first.

But soon he noticed something was wrong.

As ordinary people either knelt in devout worship or simply clasped their hands together to make wishes to He Li, He Li vaguely felt something being born within his body.

However, the sensation was very faint, and just as He Xiang was about to use all his strength to sense what was going on...

But the Yin Xian Sect disciples interrupted him.

These people are different from ordinary people.

When they saw He Li, they were only slightly surprised, but then they calmed down and observed him calmly.

The person in charge of the martial arts school stepped forward with a smile and bowed to the three people in the sky, his gaze subtly sweeping over the badges worn by the Bacheng Special Bureau...

He then said calmly, "Three investigators, what brings you here?"

"We will certainly cooperate if needed."

His words interrupted He Li's thoughts.

He Li stopped trying to investigate himself.

Anyway, this can be done anytime; the most important thing right now is to solve the problem at hand.

So, He Li looked at the person in charge...

"Really?" A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Since you say you'll cooperate..."

"Then let me ask you, three years ago, your Yinxian Sect recruited disciples in Dongxing Street using the same method, and then the incident happened in Dongxing Street. Did your Yinxian Sect participate in this?"

"To be honest, I won't ask a second time."

He asked with a smile.

The person in charge still wore a smile.

"Sir, you flatter me. My Yinxian faction is upright and honest, and we would never do anything illegal or criminal."

"We are unaware of the case on Dongxing Street."

"Even my Yin Xian faction doesn't have that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Ji said, "He's lying. What he's really thinking is that their Yinxian Sect is indeed involved in the case on Dongxing Street, but they just won't tell you."

"Yes!" He Li nodded.

Then he raised his hand...

Bang! ! !

As the golden light condensed, the body of the person in charge was instantly crushed and exploded by an invisible force, splattering blood all around. Suddenly, the world became completely silent, as if a mute button had been pressed.

He Li's merciless golden eyes fell upon the Yin Xian Sect disciples who were splattered with warm blood.

"I've said it before, I won't ask a second time."

"Now, it's your turn."

"Say it, the opportunity only comes once!"

His voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling aura, causing the Yin Xian Sect disciples, who were still reeling from the shock and fear of their leader being crushed, to turn deathly pale.

They stared at He Li in horror.

They couldn't believe that an investigator who was a public official could act so brutally...

This is a public place!!!

He was a dignified investigator from the Great Xia Dynasty...

Without any evidence, just because he listened to his partner's words, he used some mysterious power to crush their senior brother in front of the entire public?

Is this something an investigator can do?

Isn't he afraid of public opinion?

Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by your superiors?

Is this some kind of terrorist?

No, that's not right. Even terrorists wouldn't dare to be so brazen as to kill people in the street and act so self-righteous!

The more these Yin Xian Sect disciples thought about it, the more terrified and panicked they became. Cold sweat soaked their backs, and one of them couldn't help but stammer, "How...how could you kill someone?"

"You can investigate, but...aren't you afraid of being held accountable? Aren't you afraid of the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau...?"

Bang! ! !

Before he could finish speaking, the man exploded on the spot.

Instantly, everyone fell silent.

He Li only uttered two words in a lukewarm manner...

"continue!"

Continue? Continue what?

Keep killing for you???

Seeing that He Li was completely unreasonable, the remaining Yin Xian Sect disciples, who were trembling like leaves, realized that they had probably encountered a "King of Hell" who did not follow the rules.

Faced with this brutal entity that adheres to "absolute justice" and will stop at nothing to combat evil...

What background, status, identity...?

It's all utter nonsense!

Only by giving him a satisfactory answer can you possibly save your life from his clutches and plan for the future.

Thinking of this, they finally dared not hide anymore.

They spoke in trembling voices, like popping beans, revealing everything they knew.

Meanwhile, inside the Special Bureau of Shanghai, Lin Fan and his group were mocking He Li for coming to Shanghai to investigate cases and explore overseas immortal mountains to earn merit...
