Director Liu is very skillful in conversation and it is obvious that he has been engaged in this work for many years and has rich experience.

In addition, he was very patient. The conversation with Fengjian and the other two was not pleasant, but it was very harmonious and the atmosphere was good. It was obvious that the three brothers had a much higher level of trust in the "Special Affairs Department".

After Director Liu made all the arrangements for them, it was the turn of Yang Sheng and his four companions.

After exchanging a glance with Emily, he smiled and sat down opposite Director Liu.

"Student Xiao Yang looks very young. It seems that either he is extremely talented, or your sect has a rich heritage. He has reached this level at such a young age. Even Zhao Wenduo is no match for you."

After the greetings, Director Liu praised Yang Sheng. On the surface, it was a compliment, but in fact, he had already started to ask questions.

"Not bad," Yang Sheng said with a smile, "But is Zhao Wenduo very famous among you? He is the most capable employee... um, your operator?"

"We are now adopting a hiring system. You can call him an employee of our Special Affairs Department."

"Oh, I see. But he gives me a weird feeling. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Well - there's nothing to hide. You can hear it from other people anyway. My information channel is more authentic. Xiao Zhao is a genius in cultivation, but there are some problems with his sect."

Director Liu smacked his lips and pondered for a moment.

"Evil sect?"

“That’s not the case. It’s several hundred.

Years ago, it was a branch of the Lotus Sect of Qingliang Temple in Lieyan Mountain. Although they generally belong to Buddhism, they adhere to the Shura Way. They do not emphasize saving all people, but use the most cruel means to save those evil people who should be reborn in paradise.

Yang Sheng frowned, he didn't know the historical details of this world, let alone this ancient history which sounded like hundreds of years ago. You guys have cultivators here, hey, I learned serious history when I was in school... He secretly complained in his heart.

"Holding a sharp weapon, the killing intention arises spontaneously. Since the Dharma Ending Age, the inheritance of magic has been cut off among practitioners... Well, that's not accurate. The inheritance has not been cut off, but no results can be achieved through cultivation. Therefore, most practitioners can only turn to cultivating the art of life and body. Once they succeed in cultivation, they often make great progress and will have similar problems."

"Xiao Zhao is a very talented child, but the Liantai Sect's skills have stimulated his murderous nature. The better the talent, the more serious the problem. Many years ago, he got into several serious cases. The special psychotherapist in our company finally cured him to a certain extent, but the root cause of the disease is difficult to eliminate."

"He knows that he has a problem, and he usually restrains and suppresses his murderous impulse, but the evil root is deep-rooted. Just like Dayu's flood control, it is better to drain than to block. If this kind of conflict accumulates, he will lose his mind, so he must vent it regularly."

Having said that, Yang Sheng already roughly understood what was going on with Zhao Wenduo.

Many online articles use this overused plot.

He is a patient with a mental illness that cannot be cured, so he engages in this kind of dangerous work and carries out dangerous tasks. He uses the convenience of his job to relieve his stress if he encounters a vicious criminal.

"Because he has a mental illness, which is objectively reflected in his mental state, and he happens to be a lower-level extraordinary person, so I can sense his mental condition..."

"So that's why I think he's a pervert?"

Having resolved a doubt in his mind, Yang Sheng's thoughts became clear, and he smiled knowingly at Director Liu.

"Director Liu, have you heard of the theory of parallel worlds?"

0088

However, the rhetoric that had always worked met with a setback for Director Liu.

He didn't believe what Yang Sheng said at all.

"A time traveler, huh?"

"Parallel universe, huh?"

Director Liu looked at Yang Sheng with a teasing look on his face, took out his mobile phone, opened an APP, and found a book titled "I Stop Pretending and Admit to the World that I Am a Time Traveler."

"Don't think that I'm easy to fool. I'm also paying attention to the current popular subculture. I admit that your statement is somewhat creative. A cultivator is a cultivator. At most, you have a secret realm that may be better preserved, but you are still a cultivator..."

Yang Sheng looked a little embarrassed. He had never thought about this question before. If the "secret realm" can exist independently, or has an independent ecological space inside, then can the residents inside also be considered "travelers"?

He thought a lot, and couldn't help but think... The mysterious country here recognizes the cultivators' ownership of the "secret realm", but the prerequisite is that these cultivators must admit that they are citizens of the mysterious country... Does that mean that these "secret realms" are also part of the territory of the mysterious country... At least in a general sense.

"Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose--"

Amy didn't join in the discussion. Instead, she heartlessly laughed with the other two girls on the sofa.

Yang Sheng really wanted to say, "Lina, stop laughing and show Director Liu one of your special skills," but he didn't know whether the old lady's heart was in good condition.

Fortunately, Director Liu did not dwell on this topic and quickly moved to the next step, briefly asking about the basic situation of Yang Sheng and others. He also imagined that white girls with blonde hair and blue eyes like Amy and Nina had moved to the "secret realm" with Yang Sheng's ancestors a long time ago.

Yang Sheng thought about it and realized that they were all illegal immigrants in this world, so it would be nice to have a formal identity. So he did not correct his imagination and agreed with this statement.

Then, just like before, Director Liu began to explain to Yang Sheng in detail the new regulations, new policies and the "Mysterious Kingdom Practitioners' Convention", and also talked about the "Practitioners' Management Regulations" and the "Public Security Management Regulations". It seemed that seeing Emily and Nina's close attitude towards him, he thought that they were like the "Secret Realm" sects he had received before, and still retained many feudal practices, such as concubines and maids, so he was kind enough to remind Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng certainly understood what he meant, but socialism had not solved this problem either, but primitive society had solved it better. He was also very curious. Since the mysterious country here respected some of the rights of the "secret sects", if the skills practiced by this sect were the kind of Caibu Shuangxiu, or the triangle relationship practice, or even the quadrilateral or pentagon, would these sects have certain privileges?

However, based on his understanding of the principles of the mysterious kingdom, there is a high probability that this sect will be harmonized. What a joke, democracy on the left hand and dictatorship on the right hand, do you really think the mysterious kingdom is Hello Kitty?

So Yang Sheng was smart enough not to ask this question in person.

After registering the basic information of the four people, Director Liu later arranged for Yang Sheng and several other people, along with Feng Jian Taoist's fellow apprentice brothers, to go to other departments to take ID photos in preparation for their identity and household registration.

Director Liu took them to an office with an iron security door.

A woman in a police uniform received them.

Therefore, this "Special Affairs Department" is indeed a relevant department, and there are police officers in charge of household registration stationed here.

Take photos, collect fingerprints (third-generation ID card information), everything else is easy, but some trouble came with Fengjian Taoist.

This is not the Chunin Exam of Konoha Village, and the head photo on the ID card is allowed to be covered with a hood. Fengjian Taoist was a little reluctant to take off the cloth strips on his head, face and body, but after Yang Sheng gave the order, he did as he was told.

After the cloth strips were removed, well, his face was not completely unrecognizable and his appearance could be clearly seen. He was much more handsome than his two junior brothers, even though his skin was covered with scars and pockmarks.

In fact, according to some weird aesthetics of the second dimension, his skin is quite cool. His skin is densely covered with traces of healing after burns, and his body is covered with a thick membrane similar to the stratum corneum. This is the consequence of forcibly practicing magic in the ordinary world. There is no irregular tumor, maybe that irregular tumor has also been burned flat... and his scalp is severely damaged, causing his hair to be scattered here and there.

The female police officer was obviously well-informed and didn't look surprised. She just frowned and said, "Your hair doesn't look good in your ID photo. How about I shave your head? It will be better than the messy look now."

Seeing that no one had any unusual reaction, Taoist Fengjian felt much more at ease. Hearing the suggestion from the household registration policewoman, he subconsciously looked at Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng felt that not only did their martial arts movements resemble those of wild beasts, their personalities were similar as well. After being taught a lesson and realizing how powerful they were, they behaved very obediently - perhaps there was also the factor of wild beast intuition, as they were able to sense that Yang Sheng's level was much higher than theirs, so they were not very convinced of Lan Tianzhi and Zhao Wenduo.

Yang Sheng asked him what he thought, and Taoist Fengjian agreed to shave his head.

Yang Sheng did not bother the female police officer at the household registration office. He asked Emily for her dagger, used the [Mage's Hand] to pull the wastebasket in the office over, and let Fengjian bend down and put his head above the bucket.

Emily's dagger is so sharp that it can scrape off dragon scales like fish scales, let alone ordinary people's hair.

However, when shaving his head, Yang Sheng discovered that part of his skin was like cracks in rock, with large gaps. He didn't feel nauseous or trypophobic, but he did have an obsessive-compulsive disorder... Anyway, he just felt that large amounts of dirt would accumulate in such gaps.

It's a heart-wrenching feeling.

So he said, "Just bear with it, I'll give you a scalp trim."

He took out a tube of [Minor Recovery Potion] and handed it to him: "Here, put this in your mouth and swallow it when I tell you to."

"Oh"

Then he let him return to his previous position, and with his left hand he prepared the [Light Healing Technique]. He pressed the Taoist Wind Scythe's head and accurately cut off the uneven parts of his skin surface, even the gaps that bothered him.

"Um--"

Fengjian snorted and remained motionless.

Yang Sheng's swordsmanship is extremely proficient. If expressed using the "attribute panel", the suffix evaluation would probably be [Reaching the Pinnacle], which is far above "Grandmaster". The irregular flesh and blood separated from the body of Fengjian Taoist, and before the blood could come out, the effect of the healing technique in his hand was suppressed.

He deliberately pressed the tip of his index finger on a relatively intact spot on the scalp, replicating the condition of the scalp there. The skin restored by the treatment would automatically recover based on the skin here, that is, it would grow into the shape of the scalp, without even the need for hair transplantation or hair follicle restoration surgery.

Yang Sheng took care of his scalp, and then lifted his face up, and repaired the unsightly areas on his face and neck. I don't know if it was because of the knife or because Fengjian's skin had damaged the nerves, but the pain was not strong, and he didn't look like he was in much pain.

It’s just the visual effect of the scene. People with weak psychological endurance might find it terrifying, but the female police officer in charge of household registration is not such a person. She watched it with gusto and unexpectedly felt... relieved?

After repairing his head and face, Yang Sheng's hand glowed with the light of [Cleaning Technique] and he ordered, "Drink the potion now."

With a "gulp" sound, Taoist Fengjian did as he was told. He felt a cool feeling like a thin thread, which went from his throat into his stomach, and slowly spread out between his chest and abdomen, giving off an extremely soothing and comfortable feeling.

Yang Sheng handed the dagger back to Emily, and saw a tissue on the table. He took out two tissues and casually wiped Fengjian Taoist's head twice, absorbing all the blood, which was not much to begin with, onto the tissues.

Looking at Taoist Fengjian again, apart from having no hair, he is basically the same as a normal person. Of course, if you look closely you can still see the scars on his skin.

However, Taoist Fengjian was already very satisfied with the current effect. He looked at himself in the mirror with a smile and touched his bald head.

Seeing this, Yang Sheng slapped his claws away and said, "Don't worry, don't scratch these places for a few days. Wait until the new skin stabilizes and the hair stubble is found, then you can do whatever you want..."

"Oh, ok, thank you Mr. Yang"

……

Lao Xiao usually rides his scooter to work in the morning.

It is about 20 kilometers from his home to Songshan Temple outside the city, and it can be reached in more than 30 minutes if you ride fast.

In the eyes of his family, he worked in a township enterprise outside the city as a middle-level manager.

People thought he was just an ordinary person, but little did they know that he was engaged in a special industry that was quite exciting but also paid a lot of money.

In the eyes of ordinary people, practitioners like Lao Xiao may be similar to Rambo and 007 in Hollywood movies, or Wu Jing in the Wolf Warrior movie, but in fact, most of them cannot withstand a bullet from a small-caliber pistol. Without extraordinary force fields or biological force fields, a roll on the ground may cause them to suffer skin damage or muscle bruises.

His opponent last night was a mute Taoist priest. Before Yang Sheng's family intervened, he exchanged several fierce blows with the mute Taoist priest. His original sportswear was torn by the whisk, and his back and other parts of his body were covered with large areas of black bruises.

He didn't dare show it at home, and only went to the infirmary for treatment when he arrived at work in the morning.

The cooperative unit of the Special Affairs Department of "Shannan City" is "Songshan Temple". This group of experts are good at treating injuries from falls. There are no nurses or female doctors, only muscular men with thick hands and feet covered with calluses. Lao Xiao was given some treatment, prescribed some medicine and planned to return to his workstation.

As a result, I saw some young Taoist priests running to the backyard in groups of three or five, and some colleagues who had nothing to do were also joining in the fun. I stopped one of them and asked, and found out that it was the family that had just arrived last night, competing in the backyard.

When he was being treated in the medical room before, he heard the doctor talking about how the Yang family was extraordinary. Not only did they have healing techniques that were immediately effective, they also had magical medicines that could quickly heal external injuries.

Because there are indeed some relatively "rich" spiritual energy in the remaining "secret realms", there are amazing "top masters" in the cultivation world from time to time. Some of them have tempered their bodies to the extreme, while others have successfully practiced certain techniques from the fairy-hero era, which ordinary practitioners cannot match at all.

The funding of the Special Affairs Department is relatively sufficient, and the "secret realm" preserved by the cooperative unit "Songshan Temple" contains some high-yield cultivation resources. Therefore, including Zhao Wenduo and Lan Tianzhi, his strength is not only in the southwest region, but also in the first-tier masters if this scope is expanded to include the Western Church, the Dark Church, the Crusaders, the Knights, and the super-powered groups in America.

Only some old monsters who are still hiding in the "secret realm" can suppress them.

Although Old Xiao is old and has a calm mentality, he is also very curious about the origins of Yang Sheng's family. While he was still thinking about it, his steps instinctively walked towards the back mountain.

……

The back mountain of "Songshan Temple" is just an ordinary flat land. It is not a forbidden area of ​​any sect, or a "secret realm". Their sect's "secret realm" is in the core area of ​​the Taoist temple and is under very strict surveillance on a daily basis.

The rocks and trees around the venue were filled with people squatting to watch the fun. Emily, Nina and Lina also sat on a bluestone, as if they were watching a concert.

Zhao Wenduo, wearing a white shirt and tie, suit pants and black leather shoes, faced Yang Sheng face to face on the field.

Yang Sheng was casually wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with slippers on his feet.

"Tianzhi has gone back to change his clothes. Let me spar with you first."

Zhao Wenduo, who was wearing a white shirt and suit pants stretched tightly, turned his head and looked at Emily in the distance. The latter smiled and waved her arm to greet him.

"Are you and that girl following the same path? I'm not sure if I can stop myself. If you're not as strong as her, you should let her do it instead."

Yang Sheng smiled and said, "It's OK. I'm sure I can stop, so let me do it. I also want to exercise."

“Oh—”

Zhao Wenduo suppressed the fake smile on his face, twisted his neck a few times, moved his shoulders, and made a "crackling" sound of bones all over his body. He cupped his hands and said slowly:

"Zhao Wenduo, the foreign affairs officer of the Special Affairs Department, is grateful for your advice."

Although he was already suspected of bullying, Yang Sheng still activated his one-click clothing-changing ability and instantly changed his attire into a black tight combat suit.

There was an instant commotion around the venue. The ability to change outfits in an instant was still very new in the eyes of these practitioners in the Dharma-Ending Age.

"Oh, how did he do that?"

"Maybe he has a Qiankun bag on him?"

"Then how do you explain that he changed his clothes in an instant? So fast that we couldn't see it clearly?"

"Well, maybe it's a trick?"

"This outfit... is very handsome."

"..."

Zhao Wenduo: “…”

He had seen Yang Sheng wearing this outfit last night, so he wasn't particularly surprised, although he also couldn't see clearly how Yang Sheng changed his clothes from a close distance.

He first unbuttoned his clothes, took off his white shirt and folded it on the ground, revealing his extremely strong body in a white vest. He also took off his glasses and placed them on his shirt.

After facing Yang Sheng again, he crossed his arms in front of him and exhaled and let out a sound: "Ha!"

His preliminary action immediately caused another commotion around the venue. Yang Sheng had good hearing and heard every word of the onlookers' discussions.

"Fuck, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death fight."
