The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Hearing his uncle's question, Tang Ao didn't hide anything: "Oh, that thing was from the same class as me, Jiu Li, and it was sent to me by an old friend who is now the director of a municipal bureau in a city in Yunshang Province."

"However, he didn't create the talisman sword himself; he obtained it from a torchbearer numbered LH-36."

At this point, Tang Ao seemed to remember something and bluntly said, "By the way, Uncle, I also logged into your account and checked the other person's ID in the system."

"So, Uncle, do you know what happened?"

"Uncle, you don't even have the permissions to view other people's information—"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Run's hand was automatically drawn to his ear again: "You logged into my account? How did you know my account password?"

Despite saying that, when Wang Run heard the phrase "his authority was insufficient," he immediately understood: the Director-General's talisman swords most likely came from this torchbearer with the code LH-36.

However, the designation LH-36 looks familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

It seems that the torchbearer who solved the Lanhe Divine Descent incident was numbered LH-36?

At this moment, Tang Ao, whose ear was being pulled, immediately looked pained: "Ouch—Uncle, be gentle—"

"Let me explain first—no, let me clarify!"

"Uncle, you're the dean, so your account number must be yjy00001. As for the password, Mom told me before that you've always liked to use the first letter of your name plus your birthday as your password since you were little."

"So I succeeded on my first try! Don't blame me!"

After hearing his nephew's sophistry, Wang Run's lips twitched, but he still released his hand: "Don't let it happen again!"

Tang Ao rubbed his ears as he replied, "Next time for sure! Next time for sure!"

"You little brat—"

Just as Wang Run was about to say something...

drip-

His mobile device suddenly rang, showing that he had received a message.

His gaze shifted to the sender's name, where a string of characters was displayed: LH-36.

Wang Run was taken aback at first, then immediately opened the message and glanced at it.

Then he turned to his eldest nephew, adjusted his glasses, and sighed dramatically, saying, "I was thinking of taking you to meet LH-36, but given that you logged into my account without my permission—"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ao was struck dumb: "What?! Meet that talisman sword maker?!"

Then a pig-like scream rang out: "No, Uncle! I won't do it again! Please give me another chance!"

. . .

At this moment, Wu You's second clone was drinking tea in the reception room of the Dongling Research Institute.

As an avatar composed of [Authority: Crimson] and [Authority: Thousand Faces], all of the avatar's sensations can be synchronously transmitted back to the original body.

Therefore, while the clone was drinking tea, Wu You's main body on the divine throne could also sense the aroma of the tea.

Based on this alone, Wu You had to admit: the power of the Thousand-Faced God is really useful.

Just as Wu You's second clone was enjoying his tea...

With a click, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and a torchbearer wearing a black trench coat over a white lab coat and glasses walked in one after the other, followed by a researcher in a white lab coat with dark circles under his eyes.

Number Two, Wu You, glanced at the nameplates on their chests:

Dean & Chief Researcher of the Research Institute: Wang Run; and Level 3 Researcher: Tang Ao.

One was the director of the research institute, who was also the person he had contacted. As for the third-level researcher named Tang Ao, Wu You was certain that he did not know him, but for some reason, Tang Ao's figure always gave him a sense of familiarity.

But soon, a flash of inspiration struck Wu You, and he immediately understood where the familiarity with the other person came from: it was the same figure he had seen in the sword talisman communication!

The other party was the researcher who had been studying the talisman sword!

Thinking this, Wu You immediately stood up and went to greet them, saying, "Excuse me, Dean Wang and Researcher Tang, I am Wu You, ID number LH-36. I have some business to discuss with you, and I may need your help."

Because the situation in the three southeastern provinces involved some high-level struggles, and the Li rulers had not yet returned and the situation was uncertain, Ji Lingzuo did not directly announce to the public that Wu You was the torchbearer who solved the Great Hollow Incident.

Of course, this was also the result of discussing it with Wu You.

So, apart from Elder Wei and other people who are directly aware of the situation, everyone else in the Investigation Bureau only knows that a mysterious torchbearer has resolved the massive hollow incident that affected the three southeastern provinces. As for the name and number of the mysterious torchbearer, they have not yet been released.

Although Wang Run did not know that the person in front of him was the mysterious Torchbearer who was of the same rank as their Director General, the fact that he was an outstanding Torchbearer who solved the Lanhe Divine Descent incident and the creator of the Talisman Sword was enough for him to give this young man, who was not old and had a handsome face, enough attention and respect.

He stepped forward and shook hands with Wu You's second clone: ​​"No need for any trouble! Welcome, welcome!"

Upon seeing Wu You, the creator of the talisman sword, Tang Ao behind him became even more excited, rushing forward to grasp Wu You's other hand with both hands: "Boss!!! Boss!!!"

"My name is Tang Ao. I contacted you before through the survey platform! Now I finally have the honor of meeting you in person!"

"I still have many questions I'd like to discuss with you regarding the talisman sword!"

Upon hearing this, Wu You understood that the other party already knew his identity as the creator of the talisman sword.

However, he never intended to hide it from the beginning. He smiled at Tang Ao, who had dark circles under his eyes, and then quietly pulled his hand away from the one that was being held, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll be stationed at the research institute from now on, and we can communicate frequently."

The other person's actions were a bit too enthusiastic, and he, who had mild social anxiety, felt a little uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Wu You's words, Tang Ao was overjoyed: "Living permanently at the research institute? Frequently exchanging ideas? Such a good thing is possible?"

Wu You nodded: "Yes, yes."

"However, I have something more important to do now, and I need to trouble my colleagues at the research institute."

"This is it."

As he spoke, Wu You pulled out two stacks of documents he had just organized from the pocket of his black trench coat.

One stack of books had the title "Basic Swordplay of Martial Arts (Part 1)" written on the cover in slightly messy handwriting, while the other stack had the title "Basic Swordplay of Martial Arts (Part 2) (First Edition)".

"Basic Martial Arts Swordplay (Part 1)" was something Wu You had compiled and tried practicing before, while "Basic Martial Arts Swordplay (Part 2) (First Edition)" is a fresh release today, and there are still many areas that need improvement.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, Wu You's first and third clones had already returned to Yunshang Province, no, it should now be called the Yunshang stronghold in the Deep Dark Domain Gathering Ground.

One clone came here to exchange for some special exotic plants to take home to his parents, Wu Jing and the others; the third clone came to let Elder Wei and the others know that he was safe and sound, and then to see if there were any gathering places of corpses near the aggregation site. If so, he would clean them up and earn some experience points.
