Once, I wanted to be a good person

According to Little Bai Ling,

the spoils on the table have all been tested with instruments and exhibit reactions to the Power of Laws.

This means they can still be used, at least for now.

But whether they can be used indefinitely or just once is unclear.

As for their specific functions, that's even more unclear.

It's all up to luck!

Fang Ze nodded indifferently upon hearing Little Bai Ling's words.

Blind boxes, huh? He got it!

In his old world, he was especially fond of doing charity!

And according to Little Bai Ling, this was also arranged by Bai Zhi for him, as a way to let Fang Ze try his luck.

After all, if these spoils were transported back to Emerald City and appraised, the best ones would definitely be prioritized for the Bureau's use first.

The mediocre and poor-quality ones would be left for Fang Ze to choose from.

So, it was better to let him pick two based on luck before any appraisal was done.

Fang Ze truly wished he could use the Investigation Bureau's abilities in the real world right now.

Otherwise, he wouldn't leave anything good for the Security Bureau!

Unfortunately... he couldn't.

Grumbling to himself, Fang Ze paced back and forth in front of the table.

After much deliberation without a solid plan, he finally looked toward Little Bai Ling.

If he remembered correctly, Little Bai Ling was from the Bai Family with the innate ability to seek benefits and avoid harm, right?

Maybe… it could be used in this situation?

With this thought, Fang Ze suddenly had a realization: So... the reason Bai Zhi had Little Bai Ling inform him about the rewards was for this purpose?

With that in mind, Fang Ze had Little Bai Ling pick two items for him...

Packing the two items into his bag, Fang Ze asked Little Bai Ling for some time off, saying he planned to visit Qingshan City before he left tomorrow.

After all, it was the city that raised him, and he wanted to see it one last time before saying goodbye.

Little Bai Ling found this reason very sensible, so she agreed.

Back in his room, Fang Ze put the two treasures away, planning to check them when he returned that night.

Then, Fang Ze checked the treasures he was carrying with him.

The Red-robed Person had acted in haste last time, so the attack wasn't very powerful. Although three pieces of Fang Ze's armor were shattered, the most crucial one remained intact.

It was one that Bai Zhi wore close to her body, so it should be very safe.

As for his weapons, after several uses, only a dagger remained, which he tucked into his pocket.

The remaining escape items, the Void Token and the Prank Map, were also kept close on his person.

This way, his safety should be no issue.

Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but wonder: What if the assailant was a Barrier Class Awakener?

Wouldn't his escape tools be useless then?

Considering this, Fang Ze wrapped the Law Prohibition Order and put it in the other pocket.

He had it figured out: if the enemy dared to set up a barrier, he would throw the Law Prohibition Order at them.

Once the Law Prohibition activated, rendering the enemy's powers ineffective, he would use the Void Token to teleport to a distant location and then escape with the Prank Map!

After making thorough preparations, Fang Ze finally set off for Qingshan City.

With One Two Three as his mount, Fang Ze's travel efficiency improved tremendously.

Once outside the secret base, he let One Two Three transform into a five-meter-long Green Wood Fox. Sitting atop One Two Three's back, the creature let out a "howl!" and started to sprint...

Perhaps because One Two Three's howl was too attention-grabbing,

Bai Zhi, in the secret base, heard the howl and looked at the monitor, then nonchalantly asked the Commissioner next to her, "Where is Fang Ze headed?" Explore more at empire

The Commissioner beside her replied, "Chief Bai Ling said he wanted to visit Qingshan City one last time before farewell. After all, he'll be joining us to Emerald City tomorrow."

Acknowledging this, Bai Zhi nodded silently, and then lost herself in thought as she watched Fang Ze's departing silhouette on the monitor…

...…

Evening, Qingshan City.

The previous night's downpour made today's weather exceptionally clear.

And with it being summer, daylight lasted longer.

Thus, although it was past five, the sky was still bright, and... ablaze with a spectacular sunset!

At 5:40 PM,

Fang Ze arrived at the Qingshan City Investigation Bureau building.

It was the tallest building in the city, grand and stately in appearance.

He left One Two Three outside on standby, and entered the Investigation Bureau building alone with Mei.

Perhaps because he was still wearing his Investigator uniform, no one stopped him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He asked for directions and went straight to the rooftop without any hindrance.

Pushing open the rooftop door, the space opened up.

Fang Ze walked up carefully.

His back to Fang Ze was a somewhat familiar, plump figure with hands behind his back.

It seemed the figure heard Fang Ze coming up and turned around. Looking at Fang Ze, he greeted him with a warm smile, "You've arrived? Fang Ze? Or... how should I address you, my friend?"

Seeing him, Fang Ze felt a mix of surprise, yet it also seemed fitting.

After all, many things seemed like they could only be done by him.

And the figure's previous peculiar actions now seemed explainable.

With that thought, Fang Ze smiled slightly and responded, "Just call me Fang Ze... Director."

The summer breeze stirred, and the sunset clouds burned fiercely...

Fang Ze stepped forward and asked, "I never expected you to be with the organization?"
