Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

Neither of them dared to hide anything.

Lu Mingzhou quickly explained the whole story.

Neither of them are from Jiangdong City.

It's from the neighboring Aoyama City.

After being captured by a calamity carrying a huge backpack.

They were sold like commodities to the people of Changsheng Town and imprisoned in a dark, sunless cellar.

There were many people in the cellar, including weapon wielders like them and ordinary people.

Outside the cellar, several powerful weapon wielders took turns guarding it.

And every few days, people would be taken to the so-called Goddess of Fortune and Longevity, their fate unknown.

Just as it was almost their turn.

With Qian Tiezhu's help, the two escaped.

Then I met Wang Yan.

After listening to the two recount the whole story, Wang Yan stroked his chin.

The so-called Goddess of Fortune and Longevity must be that strange object related to lifespan.

And Changsheng Town was the place he was going to.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan opened his phone and searched for Changsheng Town.

The result, however, was somewhat unexpected.

There is no information about this place on the map!

Wang Yan tried searching in the browser, but still found nothing.

Wang Yan looked at the two of them and asked.

"This place isn't on the map. Are you sure the name you heard is Changsheng Town? Do you remember the route you took to get here?"

Lu Mingzhou and Jiang Li exchanged a glance and nodded affirmatively.

"There's no mistake, that's what the guards inside call that place."

"As for the route we took, I only remember the general outline: we first passed a big tree, then crossed a river..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Upon hearing what Lu Mingzhou said, Wang Yan immediately interrupted him.

What kind of tree? What kind of river?

It's not some landmark building; it's something you can find anywhere. How is he supposed to find it?

"Tell me if there are any landmark buildings, or villages you see along the way."

Lu Mingzhou shook his head: "No... I'm sorry."

"have to!"

Wang Yan covered his head, no longer placing his hopes on the two people in front of him.

He was about to turn his head and wake up Qian Tiezhu, whom he had knocked unconscious.

They then discovered that the other person had already woken up sometime earlier.

Wang Yan looked at him.

He stared at the corpse at Wang Yan's feet and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is Qian Shoushan dead?"

Wang Yan looked at him and nodded.

Qian Tiezhu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But before he could even catch his breath, he collapsed again.

He looked down at his hands and said with a bitter smile, "Good riddance."

Wang Yan squatted down.

"So do you know the way into town?"

Qian Tiezhu nodded.

"Of course, I'm originally from this town."

"Changsheng Town was not originally called Changsheng Town, but Wannian Village. There were also several small villages around it, such as Xiahegou and Laosongling."

"Later, the Goddess of Fortune and Longevity appeared and several elderly people in the village who were about to die ate the longevity fruit and miraculously survived."

"Later on, several patients who were paralyzed in bed were able to get out of bed."

"The townspeople believed it was a blessing from the goddess, and secretly called the town of Changsheng (Longevity Town) by combining several villages together."

Lu Mingzhou hurriedly asked, "Then why can't we find it on the map?"

Qian Tiezhu glanced at him.

"Because Changsheng Town is not an administrative place name, it's just what we locals call it."

"You should be able to find it by searching for Wannian Village, but the way in is hidden by Qian Shoushan. Without a local to guide you, outsiders can't find it at all."

Wang Yan looked at him.

"Would you be willing to lead the way?"

Qian Tiezhu remained silent for a few seconds.

"I'm willing! My mother is still in Changsheng Town."

"She was on the verge of death before, and it was Shouguo that kept her alive."

"I used to really believe that the Goddess of Fortune and Longevity was saving people."

"But in the past few months, the village has been asking for more and more offerings, and those who have eaten the longevity fruit have become increasingly irritable."

"The more people eat, the more afraid they are of death; the more afraid they are of death, the more they want to exchange other people's lives for their own."

As he said this, his fist slowly clenched.

"My mother is not a normal person anymore; she complains of hunger every day."

"But she doesn't eat rice; she only wants to eat longevity fruit."

"If this continues, she'll eventually turn into a beast like Qian Shoushan!"

After speaking, Qian Tiezhu looked up at Wang Yan.

"Are you an official?"

Wang Yan did not deny it.

"I guess so."

Qian Tiezhu swallowed hard.

He glanced at the several gruesome corpses on the ground.

They knew Wang Yan was a ruthless killer.

"If I take you into town, could you please not kill people indiscriminately?"

"Many people weren't inherently bad before."

"They became increasingly insane after eating the longevity fruit."

Wang Yan interrupted him directly.

"Whether I am guilty or not, I will judge for myself. You just need to lead the way."

Qian Tiezhu opened his mouth.

Finally, she nodded.

"it is good."

Lu Mingzhou and Jiang Li immediately stepped forward.

"Mr. Wang, we want to go too."

"There are still people in the cellar; they helped us."

"We said when we escaped that we would definitely come back to save them."

"Now that we're safe, what kind of logic is it to let them continue to wait to die?"

The two were speaking very quickly.

There was guilt and fear in his voice.

Wang Yan looked at the two of them, and nodded without saying anything.

"Okay, I have some things to do right now. We'll set off together later. You guys find a place to rest first."

After saying that, he picked up his phone and sent Wang Liqun his location and several messages.

[I encountered some issues on the way.]

There were bodies and survivors at the scene.

[Someone needs to be sent to clean up the mess.]

Wang Liqun received the message but didn't say much.

Okay! The finishing crew will be here soon!

Wang Yan collected the four low-level oddities that had fallen to the ground.

[Task: Collect 100 rare items (59/100)]

They then rushed to the Administration Bureau.

The blockade outside the Jiangdong Administration building has not yet been lifted.

Wang Yan presented his identification.

The security guard at the door glanced at it, and his expression immediately changed.

[S-Rank Prospective Weapon Bearer.]

This level is extremely rare in the Jiangdong Administration Bureau.

The field staff instinctively stood up straight.

"Mr. Wang, please come in."

Wang Yan didn't linger and went straight upstairs.

In the conference room.

Lin Youyou sat in the chair, her face looking rather pale.

Shen Qingli stood opposite her, holding a gray pillow in her hand.

Wang Liqun was also present.

Lin Youyou glared at Wang Yan as soon as she saw him.

"You've finally arrived."

"My hand almost broke from writing that report."

Seeing that she still had the energy to complain, Wang Yan knew that the problem wasn't serious.

Lin Youyou was so angry she wanted to speak.

Shen Qingli interrupted, "Alright, the person you've been waiting for has arrived. Let's begin our dream."

"Relax in a bit, don't resist."

"I only look at remnants of your dreams; I won't actively search through your other memories."

Lin Youyou took a deep breath.

"bring it on."

Shen Qingli placed her unusual pillow on the table.

A thin layer of mist rose from the surface.

The mist split into two wisps, one landing on Shen Qingli's brow and the other on Lin Youyou's brow.

The next second, they both closed their eyes at the same time.

Lin Youyou's body went limp, and she leaned back in her chair.

Shen Qingli also sat down, her breathing becoming very light.

Wang Yan stood to the side, without moving.

He can't interfere now.

The "Lying Memory Pocket Watch" can indeed alter memories.

However, Shen Qingli is a Class A weapon wielder at headquarters and also possesses two Class A rare artifacts.

If you were to force yourself on her, it's hard to say how many seconds she would be able to change her mind.

What's more troublesome is that once Shen Qingli realizes that her memories have been touched, things will only get more difficult to handle.

Wang Yan disliked placing his hopes on such an unstable approach.

He looked at Lin Youyou.

The necessary memory processing has already been done.

Now it all depends on how much Shen Qingli can dig out.

Wang Liqun walked to his side.

"What exactly happened on the way?"

Wang Yan recounted the events in Changsheng Town.

After listening, Wang Liqun's expression gradually darkened.

"Longevity fruit?"

"It consumes ordinary people and those who wield weapons, thus bearing the fruit of longevity?"

Wang Yan nodded.

"Qian Shoushan reverted to an aged appearance after his death."

"The other two bodies were also..."

"The life-extending effect is probably real."

Wang Liqun remained silent for a few seconds.

"Lifespan-related oddities are very rare."

"We rarely see headquarters, and there's not much information about them."

"If what you say is true, headquarters will definitely take it very seriously."

As he said this, he glanced at Wang Yan.

"But don't overthink this thing."

"The fact that Qian Shoushan regained his old age after his death suggests that longevity fruits may not actually increase lifespan."

"It could also be borrowing lifespan, prolonging a false life, or temporarily attaching someone else's life state to oneself."
