After becoming a Necro-Over, with the help of equipment, Daido Katsumi's body continued to grow, and his strength and power were greatly amplified. His fear of death also disappeared completely, and he gained immortality beyond human limits. However, he needed to be injected with cell-maintaining enzymes regularly, making him a monster-like existence.

However, this power comes at a price. Daido Katsumi was once a gentle and filial young man, but after his resurrection, his original memories and emotions gradually disappeared, and his personality became cold and ruthless. In one incident, he abandoned his last bit of humanity and attacked Fuuto. He was eventually defeated by Shotaro Hidari and Philip.

But Genji could tell that both Philip and Shotaro showed expressions of regret when the matter was mentioned, so he vaguely guessed what the two were thinking but hadn't said aloud.

If possible, please help out with the Great Dao Self-Discipline in your area.

Of course, that's no problem. If things hadn't gone wrong on his end, he would have already started investigating based on the information Philip provided. But what he didn't expect was that before he even went to find him, Philip himself came to him first.

This is really.....

Gensou couldn't help but sigh. Judging from Daido Katsumi's performance just now, he didn't seem as ruthless as Philip had said. But based on the current information, he seemed to be working as a mercenary, and Gensou had no connections in that area. This meant that finding him again would be quite troublesome.

Well, anyway, at least we still have some intelligence we can use. As for whether it will work, that's up to fate.

Gensho shook his head, put the business card in his inner pocket, and walked towards the office. But after taking a few steps, he sighed and looked up at the moon.

Well, although the 'Necro-Over' experiment had significant side effects, it's still quite useful to me right now. If I die during the restoration of my physical body, I can use this technology to resurrect myself. If I design it more carefully, I might even be able to lure out another group of weirdos.

Unfortunately, this decisive blow couldn't be won.

Thinking of this, Gengo couldn't help but sigh again and continued walking forward. When he returned to the office, there was no one there, only a note left by Kanae Kocho, saying that they had sent Nanoha home and that they had left too, and that they would see her later.

This is good, at least I can have some peace and quiet by myself.

He casually tossed his hat onto the shelf, opened the window, leaned back in his chair, watched the teru teru bozu swaying in the wind, took off his gloves, took out the 'Cyclone' memory, twirled it between his fingers like a pen, and then pressed the button on it.

There was no deep, magnetic notification sound, but the gray memory chip, as if a precious jade had shed its stone shell, visibly revealed a soft green glow. At the same time, a whistling wind rushed in, swirling around Yuanxiang and swirling up the documents on the table with a 'whoosh' sound.

Yuanxiang slowly raised his hand, hoping that the 'wind' could heal his damaged data body. The green airflow immediately enveloped his hand, but although he felt a warm sensation on the wound and the pain was relieved, it showed no signs of healing.

After blowing for a while, the wind from outside the window gradually subsided, and the documents that had been blown all over the room were rearranged as before the wind died down. The 'Cyclone' memory also lost its light and became gray, as if nothing had just happened.

Did I guess wrong?

Genji put away the 'Cyclone' memory with regret and confusion. As he put on his gloves, he thought to himself that he had survived the battle in Utopia last time because 'Wind' had healed his body, which was why he had made that attempt just now.

But now it seems... I'll have to ask Nanoha tomorrow. I wonder if I can ask Barbara for help. I'm struggling with this.

In the dark office, Gengo chuckled softly twice, stood up, and tried to close his eyes. Although there seemed to be no such thing as drowsiness in the form of the data virus, it would be a shame not to do something about such a beautiful night.

'Buzzing~~~'

Well, it looks like I'll be busy all the time.

Yuanxiang, who had just taken off his gloves and unbuttoned two buttons, looked at the door that suddenly lit up with a faint light. Behind the door was Chen Huijie standing in the underground passage. Behind her, a guy with gravel on his face was attacking her with a crude, black dagger. Unaware of this, Chen Huijie was focused on dealing with the big guy in front of her.

So, when fighting, you need to be observant and attentive to your surroundings.

'Joker!'

As Yuanxiang transformed, he also passed through the door and arrived next to Chen Huijie. With a wave of his hand, the attacker spun out and then grabbed Chen Huijie's arm, pulling her behind him. The big guy opposite him then threw a punch.

"Foolish! My Originium Arts are... ugh!!!"

The big guy's ability is to harden his skin. Chen Huijie had been slashing at it for a long time but couldn't break through its defenses. So, although he didn't know where this dark thing came from, the big guy was quite confident in his defense. Looking at Yuanxiang's fist, he not only didn't dodge, but even puffed out his chest, indicating that he was going to fight.

Then Chen Huijie saw the big guy get punched to the ground by Yuanxiang, foaming at the mouth, and immediately lost consciousness.

"Are you alright? Are you arresting someone?"

Yuanxiang shook his hand and calmly looked at Chen Huijie, saying:

Do you need any further help?

"Um...no need, thank you. Oh, no, I mean the mission is definitely complete."

Chen Huijie seemed to still be in shock, her words stammering. Just then, they heard the sound of flesh being pierced. They quickly looked over and saw that the attacker had actually stabbed himself in the chest with a dagger, revealing a cruel smile to Yuanxiang and Chen Huijie.

"Go! Go quickly!"

Yuanxiang frowned and stood in front of Chen Huijie, wary of the enemy. But when Chen Huijie saw the glowing shards of stone on the attacker's face, her expression changed instantly. She grabbed Yuanxiang and tried to run away. Although Yuanxiang didn't know what had happened, he didn't hesitate. He picked up the big guy, hoisted Chen Huijie onto his back, and rushed out like the wind, bursting out of the underground pipe in one breath.

"Seal it off! We need to find a way to seal off this exit, otherwise the surrounding civilians may be at risk of infection!"

As Chen Huijie spoke, she looked around for something to block the entrance. Yuanxiang, on the other hand, threw a punch at the top of the entrance. The powerful force caused the ground to tremble slightly, and the underground passage, unable to withstand the force, collapsed with a crash, sealing the exit. Yuanxiang turned to Chen Huijie and asked:

Are there any other exits?

"It's gone, it's abandoned..."

Before Chen Huijie could finish speaking, Yuanxiang heard a muffled explosion from inside. After hearing this, Chen Huijie nervously looked at the exit. Once she was sure there were no accidents, she breathed a sigh of relief, took out handcuffs, and subdued the big guy.

Gengo wanted to deactivate the transformation, but when he thought of his hand, he paused in his action of closing the driver, and then nothing more happened.

Yuanxiang remained silent, and Chen Huijie couldn't find a topic to talk about for a while. After calling for backup, she stood there blankly for a long time before clearing her throat and saying:

"By the way, Manager Yuanxiang,"

"I won't give it to you. Consider it the price for interrupting your commission."

Yuanxiang waved his hand casually, but after hearing this, Chen Huijie became a little anxious. She had seen Yuanxiang's strength firsthand; he was clearly a master of practical combat, and opportunities to spar with someone like him were rare.

"Manager, it's just the two of us here, so tell me what exactly you're busy with?"

Chen Huijie lowered her head, subtly shifting her facial expression to soften her stiffness... Actually, she couldn't really stay stiff; after all, she'd embarrassed herself in front of others countless times. Thinking about it, she simply couldn't maintain the composure expected of a police officer. Chen Huijie coughed lightly and asked Yuanxiang. Yuanxiang glanced at Chen Huijie, whose face clearly showed her resentment, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly:

"If I'm still alive two days from now, I wouldn't mind exchanging more tips and techniques with you."

? !

Hearing this, Chen Huijie was taken aback. She truly hadn't expected such a response. Her first instinct was to help, but then she thought, if even someone as powerful as Manager Yuanxiang couldn't solve this problem, what could she possibly do...? Ultimately... she simply lacked the power...

Noticing Chen Huijie's clenched fists and her expression, Yuanxiang patted her shoulder and said softly:

"I don't know why you crave power so much, but let me remind you that power is just one means. Don't forget your true self, and don't go to extremes because of it. Act within your means."

"Manager, you speak like an old man. I understand, I know the principles, and I won't go to extremes."

It was clear that Chen Huijie was quite impatient with the lecturing. If it weren't for Yuanxiang saying it, she probably would have argued back. Yuanxiang smiled, apologized softly, and then looked at Chen Huijie's gloves and asked:

Do you have any extra gloves?

"Oh? Oh, and here you go."

Chen Huijie curiously took out a new pair of gloves from her waist bag and handed them to Yuanxiang. Yuanxiang took them and deactivated his transformation. After all, the transformed appearance was too conspicuous, and there was no need to hide it anymore, so there was no need to continue maintaining it.

The shocking wound left Chen Huijie speechless. She looked up at Yuan Xiang, blinking blankly. Yuan Xiang couldn't help but smile, gently lifting her chin with his right index finger and whispering:

"No need to worry, it's just a minor issue. By the way, I noticed you have a sword. Why didn't you use it just now?"

Yuanxiang's gaze fell on the red scabbard at Chen Huijie's waist, and he asked with some curiosity. After all, the dual-sword style was quite intimidating, and he had suffered a bit when facing that mantis monster.

"Ah... how should I put it, I can't draw this sword right now."

When this topic came up, Chen Huijie touched the red scabbard at her waist with some disappointment. This Chixiao sword was given to her by her superior and uncle, Wei Yanwu. It was an extremely powerful weapon, but she had been unable to draw it and use its power.

"Can't pull it out? Can I try?"

Yuanxiang raised an eyebrow in surprise; this kind of setting, which he had only seen in novels, was quite intriguing to him.

"Sure, store manager, you should give it a try."

Chen Huijie did not resist and raised her hand to untie Chixiao, but before she could, Yuanxiang had already reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword. Chen Huijie held her breath when she saw this, and then she saw Yuanxiang's hand tremble slightly, and then he easily pulled out Chixiao. The scarlet sword light was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

Just then, Yuanxiang suddenly felt a strange gaze fall on him. He instinctively shielded Chen Huijie behind him, resisted the urge to throw Chixiao at her, grabbed a piece of iron rod from the side, and threw it in the direction the gaze came from.

Then he saw a figure shrouded in black jump up and run away without looking back. The person was incredibly agile, like a ninja in a TV show, and disappeared into the building in a few leaps and bounds.

"There are enemies over there, Chen, you... Chen?"

Yuanxiang looked at Chen Huijie, who had grabbed his hand, with a puzzled expression. She stared at Chixiao, and when she looked at Yuanxiang again, the light in her eyes seemed to want to devour him.

"Manager, please tell me your secret to drawing the Crimson Sky Sword, okay? Price is negotiable!"

"No, no, no, it's not about price."

Yuanxiang glanced at Chixiao, casually waved his hand twice, and said, "You can just pull it out whenever you want."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"Well......"

Upon hearing Yuanxiang's reply, Chen Huijie's eyes dimmed. She slowly released her grip, instinctively grabbing the dragon's horn, letting out a mournful cry of disbelief as she crouched down.

Just then, a police siren suddenly sounded, and Chen Huijie jumped up. But before she could get Chi Xiao back, a police car crashed through a pile of miscellaneous goods and came speeding towards her.

"Old Chen, are you alright...? Hmm?"

084 Shocker remnants in Lungmen

The woman who got out of the car was about the same height as Yuanxiang. She had green hair, wore a black leather jacket, and had a single horn. She jumped out of the car before it had even stopped, holding a huge demon mask shield. She looked quite imposing and seemed to be a skilled fighter.

But when she saw the Crimson Sky in Gensou's hand, her fierce expression froze, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

The police officers behind her exchanged bewildered glances. Inspector Xing had said that their Inspector Chen had been ambushed, but should "ambushed" be put in quotation marks? The two men didn't seem like strangers, and Inspector Chen looked completely flustered when they arrived. Good heavens, who had ever seen her with that expression? The young man next to her had also unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, revealing a scarred, wildly muscular chest...

Holy crap, could someone have made a false police report and sent us to ruin Inspector Chan's good time?!

Thinking of this, the police officers immediately took a step back, hiding behind the green-haired woman, and whispered among themselves. To be fair, although their Inspector Chen was a bit strict, he was still a very good person. Especially for those members of the Guard Bureau who had watched Inspector Chen rise from a regular police officer to the head of the Inspectorate and then to the Superintendent, they sincerely admired this young superior.

So when they realized that someone might have disrupted Inspector Chan's date, they were furious. For Inspector Chan, it was normal for holidays to be suddenly canceled and for her to suddenly lose contact during holidays. It was normal for her to work overtime until late at night to deal with mountains of files. It was normal for her to appear at an emergency meeting immediately after watching a new movie. She was like a machine that could not stop, constantly completing her work.

Now, surprisingly, Inspector Chen has developed a different hobby. It's like a sweet tofu pudding lover trying the savory version, only to have his stall overturned by someone eating stinky tofu. This is a slap in the face to the Security Bureau! Investigate! We must investigate! After finding out who that bastard is, give him a good beating!

As for the fact that Inspector Chen and his companion were carrying swords, that's irrelevant, okay? Maybe they just have a taste for them. Hmm, the young man is quite handsome; Inspector Chen has good taste.

"What are you guys standing there for! Can't you see the prisoner lying right at my feet? And didn't I say there's Originium dust in the underground passage and a risk of infection? Why aren't any of you wearing protective gear!"

Although the officers were very energetic, their appearance inexplicably angered Chen Huijie. She kicked the big guy next to her and shouted at him. Yuanxiang also vaguely noticed that the officers' eyes were not right, just like the neighborhood aunties who wanted to set him up on blind dates. But he couldn't explain it. The more you explain, the less people believe you.

He watched as Chen Huijie suddenly became imposing, and silently handed Chixiao back. After all, it was someone else's property, and it wouldn't be right for him to keep holding onto it. Chen Huijie was busy directing the police officers to set up a cordon to prevent civilians from getting close, so she didn't pay much attention and casually put Chixiao into its sheath after taking it.

After inserting it, Chen Huijie suddenly realized something, looked down at her hand, and then looked at Yuanxiang next to her, her eyes filled with surprise.

Alright, so we've found someone to use as a tool to pull out the sword?

Yuanxiang naturally understood Chen Huijie's meaning, and pursed his lips helplessly. At this moment, the green-haired police officer came over and said in a friendly manner:

"Young man, what's your name?"

"Yuanxiang is a detective who wanders around aimlessly, a newcomer to this treasure land, so I don't know who you are?"

“My name is Hoshiguma, and I’m Old Chen’s subordinate,” Hoshiguma said with a casual gesture, raising his chin at Chen Huijie and continuing with a smile, “and also as a friend of hers.”
