The cunning abbot, with the help of Jiang Shu, suddenly increased his speed again, widening the distance between himself and the man in sunglasses.
The abbot didn't leave any harsh words, but the look in his eyes when he left clearly told Jiang Shu that no matter where he was, he would definitely appear in front of Jiang Shu again as long as he found an opportunity.
"Are you alright?" the man in sunglasses asked Jiang Shu, frowning.
Jiang Shu looked him up and down.
"You're here to deal with the official evolved beings of Yunfu Temple, right?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to file a complaint against you."
"?"
Jiang Shu said with dissatisfaction, "We can't even catch a single person. Did they use the taxes paid by us ordinary evolved beings to buy sea cucumbers?"
“It’s not that we don’t tax evolved beings either…” the man in sunglasses said helplessly. “Besides, I feel guilty for not catching him. He seems to have some kind of advanced skill. You didn’t mention it when you reported it to the police. I wasn’t prepared.”
"Oh, it's alright then." Jiang Shu slightly toned down his harsh attitude: "I was just in mortal danger, so it's understandable that I was a little agitated, right? You can understand, right?"
"Yeah, I understand." The man in sunglasses nodded, clearly not taking it to heart.
At this moment, the clerk stepped forward and asked Jiang Shu, "How much information do you know about that guy?"
“Not many,” Jiang Shu said. “Level six, currently undergoing sublimation, having mastered a calamity-level skill.”
"A calamity-level skill..." the man in sunglasses exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder even I was caught off guard and fell victim to it."
Jiang Shu glanced at him but didn't say anything more.
"Why didn't you get infected?" the clerk asked Jiang Shu seriously.
“I took his wife hostage, the one I just punctured. You should know from what I’ve experienced that this skill has a huge impact, but it’s not drastic. It takes some time for it to fully take effect, so he doesn’t dare to make any rash moves.”
Jiang Shu's answer was a mix of truth and falsehood.
After listening, the man in sunglasses confirmed to the clerk, "That's exactly what he said."
“Hmm.” The clerk didn’t think about it any further and turned to the man in sunglasses and said, “He probably didn’t succeed in his ascension. I can tell that he interrupted the ascension at the last moment and used his future potential to gain power in the present. His strength is equivalent to that of a top-tier level six evolver, which is why he was able to escape from you with the help of his skills.”
Jiang Shu listened without asking why out of curiosity.
Evolvers possess a wide range of skills, so the other party must have mastered some kind of reconnaissance ability, which is why they were so certain.
Moreover, from their conversation, he could tell that the two people in front of him were stronger than the abbot, but they had suffered a loss because the abbot's methods were extremely strange.
"This is a troublesome situation," the man in sunglasses said, sounding somewhat annoyed. "Looks like I'll have to work overtime again."
"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious about how you were able to unleash that level of power." The clerk stared into Jiang Shu's eyes: "Aren't you only level three?"
Jiang Shu didn't explain anything, but simply raised his right hand, which had just poked the abbot's shoulder.
His five fingers were all twisted, and the bones were completely shattered.
"What is this...?" the man in sunglasses asked in astonishment.
He could feel the phantom pain in his fingers just looking at it, but Jiang Shu remained expressionless, as if she felt no pain at all.
The clerk's calm eyes flickered slightly, and his voice also became erratic.
"You put all your evolution points into strength, and your physical strength hasn't improved at all?" He took a deep breath and asked incredulously, "Don't you know that physical strength needs to be increased along with strength? Otherwise, before you can hurt anyone else, you'll be hurt by your own strength!"
Jiang Shu sighed melancholy: "I just remembered that forces are reciprocal..."
"..."
suddenly.
"Team leader! Deputy team leader! I'm here!"
Some familiar voices caught Jiang Shu's attention.
He looked at the panting man who had just arrived.
"Overlord?" Jiang Shu exclaimed in surprise.
When Ba Wang saw Jiang Shu, he was taken aback. Then, seeing Xue Wang lying on the ground wearing men's clothes that were clearly Jiang Shu's, he asked with a strange expression, "This is a temple, what are you doing...?"
Chapter Fifty: The Bureau of Different Lineages
Seeing the Overlord here was quite unexpected for Jiang Shu.
Snow Queen contacted the official Evolvers. Although the two who came did not succeed in capturing the abbot, they did seem quite reliable.
For example, the man in sunglasses who put his sunglasses back on, although he said that he was affected by the abbot's skill, which caused him to be a little slower in the end, Jiang Shu did not see that he was obviously weakened.
Of course, it's also possible that my current level is not high enough to notice the subtle yet profound mistakes that can lead to huge errors among experts.
The office worker is more straightforward. Although he doesn't take action, he has strong analytical skills. His analysis results are almost identical to his own judgments, and he can even spot clues in many details that he himself might not even notice.
And most importantly, they don't take Level 6 Ascendants seriously.
Overall, these two seem like they're genuinely there to get things done.
On the other hand, Ba Wang arrived after everyone had already left, and he was only level three in the [Creative Workshop], so he was definitely not as strong as the other two.
Where did this young master come from?
So Jiang Shu asked curiously, "Putting that aside, how did you end up here?"
"You two know each other?" the man in sunglasses asked curiously.
"More than just acquaintances." Overlord was clearly delighted to see Jiang Shu and introduced him to the man in sunglasses: "Team leader, this is the expert I told you about who carried me through that disaster-level incubation site. The successful conquest was entirely thanks to him; I was just basking in his glory."
"You're the one who's so spicy and unappealing..." The man in sunglasses scrutinized Jiang Shu, seemingly lost in thought.
"Thanks to you, I successfully obtained the qualification for the Bureau of Different Dimensions and became an operator in the Execution Department."
At this moment, Jiang Shu was no longer just a big shot who carried him to victory in Ba Wang's eyes; he was practically a benefactor in his life, and Ba Wang's words were full of gratitude.
"The Bureau of Unorthodox Leadership?"
"Its full name is the Bureau of Anomalies Statistics Investigation. Its purpose is to ensure relative peace in the world of evolved beings and not to affect the lives of normal people." Ba Wang explained with pride, "It is not only an officially established organization, but also the most powerful organization in the world of evolved beings with the deepest resources."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu nodded knowingly.
Indeed, only the strong are entitled to reason. Only by sitting in the top seat can one decide who sits at the table and who doesn't, and only then can one formulate rules that everyone can accept.
As the Dragonfly Captain of the Evolutionary Circle, the Bureau of Differentiation should indeed, and inevitably will, be the strongest in terms of overall strength.
Ba Wang patted Jiang Shu on the shoulder and said casually, "I didn't expect to meet you again today, just after I started working. I haven't even had a chance to tell you this good news yet. By the way, these are our team leader and deputy team leader. Didn't you come to report a case? Then you can rest assured and tell them the difficulties you are encountering. They will definitely be able to help you solve them."
"I've said almost everything I needed to say on the phone and just now."
Jiang Shu didn't take Ba Wang's gratitude too seriously. After all, he hadn't initially gone through the dungeon for Ba Wang's sake; Ba Wang's achievements were just an unintended consequence.
So he simply dismissively said to the Overlord:
"From what you're saying, this strategy guide is just a stepping stone. Whether you pass the test or not depends on yourself. I didn't play any role, so don't worry about it too much."
"You can't say that. You can ignore it, but I can't." Ba Wang was straightforward and stubborn; he never forgot those who had helped him, whether intentionally or not. "Speaking of which, why didn't you accept my friend request?"
"I was too busy today, so I probably didn't notice."
"How did you manage to contact the Snow Queen? She just didn't notice my messages, right?"
"this..."
"I understand."
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, the man in sunglasses glanced at the clerk.
They both saw a hint of admiration in each other's eyes.
Although it's unclear whether Ba Wang's claim of "carrying someone to victory" was genuine or just a humble and exaggerated statement, it's certain that Jiang Shu's abilities are no less than Ba Wang's.
When many people see that others with similar abilities and achievements are doing better than themselves, they will more or less lament the unfairness of fate, and some may even feel jealous.
But Jiang Shu was different; he showed no signs of such a thing, and his tone of voice was matter-of-fact, which proved that this was indeed what he thought.
Such people either have extremely sound values or are confident and have higher aspirations.
Such a mindset is rare in today's society.
Moreover, both of them had witnessed his performance in front of the abbot just now. Jiang Shu was equally courageous, ruthless to his enemies, and ruthless to himself.
Jiang Shu... is a rare talent!
Once filtered through a lens, even Jiang Shu's righteous and awe-inspiring portrayal of kidnapping someone's wife was seen by the two as an excellent display of being unconventional and adaptable.
As his feelings for Jiang Shu grew stronger, the man in sunglasses naturally began to have his own ulterior motives.
He began exchanging glances with the male clerk, engaging in a tacit, encrypted conversation.
【all?】
【I think it's feasible, but given his behavior, do you think he'd be willing to accept it?】
It's okay, let's just lie to them for now.
【Sure?】
"Getting him there is half the battle won. We're so awesome, we can conquer him with ease!"
Where are you taking me?
"Holy crap?"
The man in sunglasses was startled.
The clerk didn't say anything, but he was also startled.
Looking at Jiang Shu again, he was staring at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"How did you get into our team voice chat?" the man in sunglasses asked as if he'd seen a ghost.
“It’s… a very familiar look.” Jiang Shu replied, “When my friend and I share a table with other girls in a bar, sometimes it’s inconvenient to talk, so we communicate with this kind of look. I can roughly understand where you want to take me.”
"So, where do you want to take me?"
"Uh..." the man in sunglasses explained awkwardly, "We're taking you back to make a statement. There are still many things we don't know about Yunfu Temple. You're the one who filed the report, so you definitely have to go there."
“That makes sense.” Jiang Shu had no objection to this.
The clerk, unusually, offered cover for the man in sunglasses, acting as his wingman: "Besides, you and your companion are both injured and need help. Luckily, we have the best life-type evolutionists in the country. Although they're not in Tan City, we can bring them over anytime if needed."
"No need for that. My minor injury will heal in a few days with some treatment." Jiang Shu shook his head. "As for my companion, she was probably affected by that skill, and her attribute values were reset to zero, causing her to be weak and unconscious. She will gradually recover after the effects wear off."
"It's best to be careful. After all, it's a calamity-level skill. Who knows if it has any hidden effects?" The clerk advised. "Anyway, you guys go first. I'll handle the aftermath here."
At this moment, Jiang Shu suddenly remembered something: "We have moved all the surviving victims to the side hall near the main gate. Only one evolved human died, named Liu Quanyou. You can find his information online. He was an evolved human with a healing spiritual root."
He had been imprisoned here for a long time. After we rescued him, he helped us move the victims, but unfortunately, he couldn't get out in the end because he was moving the last victim.
Jiang Shu only told half the truth. If the Bureau of Different Regulations found out, that would be fine. But if they didn't, Jiang Shu still wanted to leave Liu Quanyou with some dignity.
"Then there was an old lady outside. Her son had been tricked into becoming a monk by a weasel in the temple. By the time we arrived, he had already been killed. The imposter weasel was using the alias Yuan Shun. Do you think you can think of a way to catch him and also take care of the family's feelings?"
There are many victims, and it's impossible to pay attention to each one. Jiang Shu also doesn't have the time or the mood for it. But since he happened to come across one, he doesn't mind treating it as a matter to be addressed.
"Understood." The clerk straightened up slightly. "My name is Qin Lang. I thank you on behalf of the Bureau of Unorthodox Investigations."
The man in sunglasses glanced at him in surprise, then smiled and said to Jiang Shu, "Shen Mo."
Jiang Shu asked in confusion, "Does your Bureau of Different Names all use real names?"
After saying that, he looked at Ba Wang as if seeking confirmation.
To everyone's surprise, Ba Wang was also astonished: "No, I only know that the team leader's ID is 'Blind Man' and the deputy team leader's ID is 'Clear Sky.' This is the first time I've heard their real names."
Oh?
Jiang Shu, having understood something, felt a pang of distress.
His irresistible charm always caused him great distress.
Chapter 51 Silent Invitation
Bureau of Different Systems.
The Tancheng headquarters, located by the moat, looks like an ordinary courtyard, much like a vehicle management office. However, it is actually a hidden gem in the city. Jiang Shu had even passed by it several times without noticing its unusual nature.
After treating the injury to his finger briefly and informing the person in charge of recording the details, Jiang Shu left the archives department.
He omitted some details, such as why he knew that Yunfu Temple was abnormal. He only said that he went on a trip with his companions, noticed something suspicious, and finally discovered the secret hidden by Yunfu Temple through investigation.
Jiang Shu handed over all the ID cards he had brought from the warehouse to the person in charge.
