He started by brutally defeating the demon lady, and the passersby were terrified!

[A call came from Qianjiang...]

Just then, a phone call came in.

It was my good buddy Qian Jiang.

"beep--"

The call was connected.

"Meng Yan, you son of a bitch, where are you?! I've called you over a hundred times! If you don't answer, I'm going to call the police!!"

The voice on the other end was furious; the person was clearly frantic.

"I lost internet access because of something. Where are you?"

Because they were good friends, he didn't want to tell the other person about the Secret Investigation Bureau.

Firstly, there's a confidentiality agreement, and secondly, I don't want him to get involved in these things. It's fine for him to be a carefree, ordinary rich kid.

"What could be more important than your old man? I'm in the hospital right now! I just paid 50,000 yuan for his medical bills! I'll figure out how to get the money if you need it, it's no big deal! Wherever you are right now, get back here right now!"

Qian Jiang was absolutely furious.

I was supposed to go to work part-time handing out flyers at noon on the 15th.

He then messaged me at noon saying he had something to do and would be back in the evening, and that I would treat him to dinner at our usual spot, and that I would have to cancel the flyer distribution task for now.

That's okay.

If it's canceled, it's canceled.

We agreed to have dinner together this evening.

When I got to the usual spot, where was everyone?

He didn't reply to WeChat messages and didn't answer more than ten phone calls. At that time, he thought something had happened at the hospital and rushed to the hospital, only to find that the doctor was also looking for him.

They promised to come and pay the bill in the afternoon, but they just disappeared.

The doctor made it clear.

According to national policy, hospitals will not forcibly evict patients due to unpaid bills, and critically ill patients will not have their life support withdrawn, but non-emergency treatments will be interrupted.

For example, active treatments such as drug supply, intravenous infusion, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy will be interrupted.

Once interrupted, life enters a countdown, and restarting it will not yield good results.

When he heard Qian Jiang's name, he immediately flew into a rage. Qian Jiang was Meng Yan's only relative in the world, and he was someone he would do anything to save.

So Qian Jiang immediately raised money to cover part of the medical expenses, allowing the hospital to continue the treatment, while also trying to find out where Meng Yan was!

He searched for a whole day on the 16th.

Today is the 17th.

Thank goodness the call went through.

Otherwise, he really would have gone to the police station to report it.

In modern society, how can a living person disappear for two or three days and be completely unreachable? Whenever such a report appears in the news, it's either about searching for a body or retrieving a body, which is terrifying!

"Qianjiang, it will take me about two or three hours to get back now."

Hearing Qian Jiang's words, Meng Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Yin Snake hasn't made a move yet, the old man is temporarily fine, and the hospital bills have been paid.

Thank goodness for this thing, otherwise my soul would have melted away like cream this time.

"Two or three hours... okay! I'll wait for you outside the hospital's ICU!"

The call ended quickly. The fact that he had been absorbing the Body Tempering Pill for so long had completely disrupted his plans.

I wonder how Fatty is doing now.

Meng Yan opened WeChat.

Actually, it's understandable that the fat man said the absorption might take several hours; he was just following the instructions in the guide. Who could have imagined that something unexpected would happen?

【Li Zhichun】

"Brother Meng, have you already left? My body is so weak. It usually takes three hours for others to absorb all the nutrients, but it took me a full 24 hours. At least I've advanced to the first level of the Spirit Spring Realm. / Bitter. [June 16, 2035, 12:25 PM, Wednesday.]"

[But Brother Meng! I can help you in fights from now on! Use me as a health pack! /Cool.]

……

[Hey, Brother Meng, haven't you finished absorbing the knowledge yet? Why is your room still in seclusion? Could it be that you've gained some new insights?]

【I'm free today too, I'll wait for you, Meng-ge, and we'll go out together. "June 16, 2035, 16:15, Wednesday."】

……

【Brother Meng, I have some family matters to attend to, so I need to go back first. If you need me to team up with you for a mission, please contact me anytime! Vehicles leaving the base can simply select 【Support】-【Leave Base】on the App! 【June 17, 2035, 09:10, Thursday】】

I don't actually receive many WeChat messages.

One of them is that guy from Qianjiang.

They all said things like "video call," "voice call," and "your grandpa"!

I posted more than a hundred messages in total.

Another one is Li Zhichun's.

The other party also sent me dozens of messages.

Judging from the information, he also quickly reached the Spirit Spring.

She also complained that her body was too weak, as it had taken her 24 hours to absorb the nutrients.

Seeing this.

Meng Yan frowned.

The "Newcomer's Cultivation Guide" in the room states that the average absorption time for a normal body-tempering pill is three hours, and the better one's physique, the faster the absorption.

Logically speaking, my health shouldn't be too bad.

Why did it take three days and two nights to absorb it?!

That's really strange.

I was originally planning to go out with this person, but I waited all day yesterday and had something to do this morning, so I went out first.

"So, the cars you take out are also booked through the app?"

Meng Yan was a little surprised.

Come to think of it, he hadn't even looked closely at the work machine or the "Police Communication" app.

Meng Yan took out his work phone.

It's just an ordinary black phone. On the surface, it uses fingerprint unlocking, but actually, you need to input a little spiritual energy when pressing the fingerprint; otherwise, it will enter the normal police communication interface.

If you input spiritual power, a large splash screen will appear: "[Meng Yan, welcome to Special Police Communication]".

Once inside, he realized that the unit presented itself to the general public as the National Security Bureau.

The Bureau of Mystery Investigations targets independent martial artists or certain special public officials who come into contact with them.

For cultivators of traditional sects, it is a demon-slaying system that has been passed down for thousands of years.

This society is far more complex than he imagined.

If I hadn't awakened the Demon-Suppressing Tower, I probably would never have come into contact with these things in my entire life.

[A realm advancement has been detected. Do you wish to claim the upgrade bonus?]

I just came in.

A pop-up window actually appeared.

Please input your spiritual power into the test rune.

Meng Yan did as instructed.

After all, there's a reward of 10,000 yuan for completing the test.

We'll give it to the old man together then, and also pay back some of the money we owe Qianjiang.

[Realm upgrade successful.]

[Meng Yan, your current cultivation level is Spirit Spring Level One.]

It's true that you've advanced to the first level of the Spirit Spring Realm.

[Wallet: 10000 yuan "withdrawable".]

Even the wallet that was previously emptied now has an extra 10,000 yuan.

Withdrawal successful.

【您尾号9899卡6月17日15:05「农业银行」收入(工资)10000元，余额196000.75元。】

At that moment, a text message confirming the withdrawal had been received also arrived on my phone.

The entire 10,000 yuan has been credited to my account.

Still tax-free.

Special Policing System

[Updates] [Security] [Messages] [My Account]

The screen remains on the message.

Meng Yan took a closer look.

It is divided into four sections: "Dynamics", "Security", "News", and "My Account".

He clicked on "Guarantee".

"Enter the base"

"Leave the base"

"Clean up the battlefield"

……

"To be opened"

There are three sections in total.

He clicked on the "Leave the base" option that the fat man had suggested.

"Beep beep beep—"

The next instant.

A phone call came through immediately.

"Is this Mr. Meng Yan? I'm your commuter driver, Mr. Sa. I'm currently driving towards the apartment building in Zone D, and it should take about two minutes."

That's incredibly efficient.

"Okay, Master Sa, I'll be right down."

Meng Yan hung up the phone and went outside.

It was a black minivan.

After checking the details, we got in the car. We chatted for a bit, and then Mr. Sa focused on driving. I learned from him that it would take about two hours to get to Qingshan People's Hospital from here.

[Updates] [Security] [Messages] [My Account]

In the car.

Meng Yan continued to explore the work machine, checking out its functions. After all, Director Zhao had said that it was an important helper for them, and they would also need to use the app to carry out missions.

So Meng Yan decided to look at them one by one.

I clicked on the first one, "Dynamic".

Want to know what this post is about?

Daily News

"The Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth"

"Overseas Forum"

"Absolutely Forbidden Zone"

Upon opening it, I found that there were four sections inside.

There was almost no hesitation.

Meng Yan clicked on "Absolute Forbidden Zone".

It's mainly because I can't control myself; I just want to click on it whenever I see it, out of curiosity about just how forbidden this forbidden zone really is.
