I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Lin Yan turned his head and saw that Saya had already walked up to the three survivors.

"I don't like trouble."

Saya looked down at the couple and the man in the plaid shirt with a cold glance.

"I don't want these squeaking bugs to reveal my presence."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a pair of scissors and snapped them together in the air.

Lin Yan seemed to hear the sound of something being cut.

The three, who were already mentally broken, rolled their eyes and fainted in the mud.

Lin Yan's heart tightened. Saya turned her head and explained expressionlessly:

"Don't worry, I'm not dead. They just had some memories of me erased from their minds."

After saying that, she walked up to Lin Yan.

She stared at him for a while, then reached out and gently tapped Lin Yan's chest with her finger.

"Remember."

Then her figure gradually faded in the morning light until it disappeared.

Chuchu's soft, sweet voice came through the earphones:

"Only your brother can hear Chu Chu's voice, so don't worry, brother. Chu Chu will come to find you later~"

Then there was no sound from the headphones.

A few minutes later, the tranquility of the water world was broken.

Several off-road vehicles were parked outside the water park.

The car door opened, but the person who rushed in was not dressed as a logistics staff member that Lin Yan had seen before.

Instead, they were a group of fully armed tactical agents.

They quickly dispersed, working in pairs, and within 30 seconds of getting out of the vehicle, they had the entire ruins under tight control.

Medical personnel then followed up and lifted the three survivors on the ground onto stretchers.

The boy and girl slowly woke up on the stretcher.

After their memories were erased, all that remained in their minds were endless black water and swarms of desperate frogs.

The boy looked at the heavily armed agents around him and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

They survived, but the experience will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Meanwhile, the man in the checkered shirt on the other stretcher remained unconscious.

Although he returned to human form, after the domain disappeared, his legs also disappeared from the knees down, with clean cuts.

The bizarre doesn't tell fairy tales; to survive, ordinary people often have to pay a price that is difficult for others to bear.

Lin Yan leaned against the wall, looking at the grand scene, and felt vaguely that something was wrong.

Before he could even speak, three tactical operators had already surrounded him in a triangular formation.

Although the gun wasn't pointed directly at him, a chilling and oppressive feeling was palpable.

"Don't move! Hands behind your head, stand against the wall!" the lead operative shouted coldly.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly:

"Brother, we're on the same side. I'm a temporary worker from the bureau, Lao Zhao, you know Team Leader Zhao, right..."

"Execute the command!"

Without any hesitation, the agent stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yan's shoulder, and roughly flipped him over, pinning him against the wall.

Lin Yan was already exhausted, but this made him instantly energetic.

Immediately afterwards, two operators behind him used something that looked like a detector to scan him.

"Report: An unusual item has been detected."

The operative pulled the shattered phone out of Lin Yan's pocket.

He took off the earphone with Saya's name engraved on it from his right ear.

Then, the operative reached into Lin Yan's inner pocket.

Lin Yan sensed something was wrong.

The frog brooch was pulled out by the operator.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Lin Yan panicked; that was a death warrant that marked his seven-day countdown to death!

If they take it, what will he use to explain to that evil spirit?!

"Shut up, all evidence must be sealed and handed over."

The comfort that followed the desperate situation had vanished, replaced by a surge of intense frustration.

Being treated like a criminal and having all their trump cards confiscated would have caused an ordinary person to panic.

But Lin Yan is no ordinary person.

He didn't panic when Xiao Shiba caught him and the boss sharing a bed in a suite.

These are all minor incidents right now.

Lin Yan didn't struggle; instead, he leaned against the wall, following the force of the operator's restraint.

"Hey guys, that knee strike you was even harder than a monster's! If you hurt me, would that be considered a work injury?"

He turned his head, looked at the operative holding his phone and other belongings, and said with deep regret:

"And another thing, it's one thing if the phone is broken, but that earphone was the only memento my ex-girlfriend left me! Can you afford to pay for it if you break it?"

"And that broken iron plaque, I just found it at the flea market as a talisman. Your folklore bureau is even stealing that?"

"I shed blood for Jiangcheng, I rendered meritorious service to the organization! You can't treat an outstanding employee who just experienced a life-or-death situation like this, can you?"

"Where's Lao Zhao? I need to see our Captain Zhao!"

Lin Yan's wailing left the usually cold-faced agents speechless.

The tense and deadly atmosphere was largely dissolved by his shrewd and experienced demeanor.

"We are also following the proper procedures."

The lead agent, with a cold expression, approached Lin Yan and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

After saying that, he pulled out a pair of handcuffs covered with all sorts of strange symbols from his waist.

With a click, Lin Yan's hands were locked in place.

"Brother, bear with it. You know we have to use magic-suppressing handcuffs to deal with suspected infected individuals."

The operative muttered something under his breath, then resumed his cold expression and shoved Lin Yan.

"Walk."

Lin Yan was escorted by two agents, one on each side, and shoved into the back of a car.

The carriage doors slammed shut, but no one boarded the train.

Inside the carriage, a familiar figure sat in the driver's seat.

Su Qinghan sat in front of him, holding her ever-present tablet device in her arms.

Her fingers flew across the screen, and Lin Yan peeked over the shoulder.

Damn it! This girl actually wore a privacy screen protector.

After a while, no one else boarded the train, leaving only the two of them in the carriage.

Lin Yan immediately relaxed, realizing that things hadn't reached a dead end yet.

"Beautiful Su, what's going on here?"

"I just escaped death from the clutches of a demon. Even if I don't get a commendation for my bravery, surely they don't have to treat me like a class enemy?"

"Where's Lao Zhao? I need to see our Captain Zhao. He said the bureau would protect me."

Su Qinghan ignored him and continued tapping on her tablet.

Lin Yan sighed, tilted his head back, and the handcuffs clattered loudly.

"Hey, I'm serious, you can just confiscate my phone and be done with it."

"Those headphones are truly my personal property, and you absolutely mustn't lose that black metal tag, it's..."

Su Qinghan raised her hand to interrupt Lin Yan's rambling.

She kept her head down, but her other hand was on the body camera in the car.

The red light is off.

Lin Yan immediately became serious.

It seems this matter is really serious; even someone like Su Qinghan is resorting to this tactic.

Old Zhao, you're not doing so well either.

"Lin Yan".

Su Qinghan gripped the steering wheel, as if talking to herself.

"According to Article 12 of the Bureau's Field Operations Regulations, any survivor involved in a demon-level pollution incident must undergo mandatory quarantine and investigation."

"Is this the normal procedure?"

Lin Yan understood immediately.

"Yes."

"But this time, they crossed the line."
