Chapter 39 - Poking the Shadow Warriors' Den

Chapter 39 Poking the Shadow Warriors’ Den

Thinking of this, Fang Ze opened his tired eyes and looked at the table in front of him.

Previously, Fang Ze had been so focused on his Awakened ability that he had long forgotten about his gains today. He didn’t even notice this when he was packing up the Awakening materials.

Now that he thought about it, he hurriedly began to search for the gains from today’s investigation.

Two minutes later, when he saw the black mud under the table, to be honest, Fang Ze did not feel surprised at all.

It seemed that as long as he investigated Miao Miao, he would get shadow warriors. This had become a tradition.

As he thought this, Fang Ze picked up the puddle of mud and threw it to the ground.

A moment later, like the one yesterday, the 2.5-meter-tall male shadow warrior appeared in front of Fang Ze with a large iron rod on his shoulder.

Fang Ze looked at him, then summoned the shadow warrior he’d been sparring with.

They looked a little like twins. It was almost impossible to tell the difference.

Only on closer inspection would one notice that the shadow warrior from last night seemed to be a little stronger. Furthermore, its rod was a little darker and a little thicker.

He remembered that he had not named this shadow warrior in the past two days.

Fang Ze pondered for a moment, then said, “From today, your names will be Rod One and Rod Two.”

The two shadow warriors obediently dropped to one knee and grunted, ‘Yes.”

Seeing that he had another shadow warrior, Fang Ze couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d just poked into a shadow warrior’s den.

He wasn’t going to form an army of shadow warriors in the future, right?

Furthermore, he was always getting shadow warriors. Was there a problem with him, or was there a problem with Miao Miao?

Fang Ze felt the need to properly study the matter.

If the problem was with Miao Miao…

That meant her background or her potential had to be amazing.

In that case, Fang Ze felt that this might be his chance.

Perhaps, as long as he investigated the secret of her background or some other secret, he would obtain a huge gain. However, that was all in the future.

Now, all that mattered was sleep.

With this thought in mind, Fang Ze summoned Rod One and Rod Two back into the shadows. Then, he sat on a chair and slowly fell asleep.

The next day.

The sky was clear.

At the temporary residence.

Because he had been transferred by the Security Bureau to help all day yesterday, Wang Hao sat up in bed looking exhausted.

Then, he realized that his criminal roommate had woken up early and was walking quickly on the spot.

Wang Hao was shocked. He immediately felt that he had lost his guard. He had actually woken up later than his criminal roommate.

How could he complete the mission!

With that thought, he glanced at his watch.

It was five in the morning…

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that it wasn’t that he had woken up late, but that his roommate had woken up a little too early.

With that thought, he involuntarily turned to his roommate, trying to figure out why he was up so early.

In the end, with just a glance, he felt that the friendly image of his criminal roommate had become a little different from before.

“Eh?” He made a small sound of surprise, then looked more closely. In the end, he couldn’t tell what was different.

It seemed like his roommate was still as tall as before.

He was still as handsome as ever.

What exactly was different?

“That’s strange…”

Wang Hao was a little confused as to why this was happening

Meanwhile, as he wondered, his roommate exhaled deeply and then stopped walking.

Then, his roommate stood up straight and waved at Wang Hao with a smile. “Morning.”

His smile was sunny and hearty. Coupled with his handsome face, one could not help but like him.

Wang Hao reflexively raised his hand and replied, “Morning.”

Then, before he could say anything else, his roommate said with a smile, “You woke up a little late today. I’ll go wash up first.”

With that, he hummed his way to the toilet.

He tilted his head and looked at his roommate’s back. Wang Hao still couldn’t figure out what was different about his roommate.

Apart from Wang Hao, the other agents on the task force also clearly noticed that the criminal was a little different today.

However, just like Wang Hao, they couldn’t tell what was different about Fang Ze.

If they had to be specific, it seemed that his spirit was different.

In the past, he had been a very ordinary “weak young man.” Although he was sunny and cheerful, his figure was obviously thin and weak. He walked weakly. Although his eyes were bright, they were not energetic enough.

However, he seemed to have become a different person today. His body began to straighten. Although he did not walk like a tiger, he began to look like one. His originally handsome but weak face became resolute, and his eyes began to shine.

“What’s wrong with this guy?”

“Is it someone else?”

“What happened in the span of one night?”

This kind of quiet discussion quietly circulated among the agents without Fang Ze knowing

After dinner, Fang Ze didn’t start the day’s “slacking off.” Instead, he went to the meeting room on the first floor of the villa with the other agents.

Han Kaiwei’s strange death had a huge impact on the task force.

The immediate effect was that the task force had stagnated.

To avoid another death and to prevent the killer from escaping, all agents were forbidden to leave their temporary residences and villas except to eat and sleep.

Furthermore, after eating, they were also asked to stay in the meeting room as a group. They were to wait for the Security Bureau to summon and “question” them in turn. Of course, none of this had anything to do with Fang Ze.

Putting aside the fact that he was one of the first people to be called in for “questioning” yesterday, and that there was no need to go again.

Even if he needed to go, as a criminal, he didn’t want to cooperate.

All he wanted to do was pay off his “loan” as soon as possible and avoid borrowing from loan sharks.

Therefore, he started running on the spot early in the morning and repaid his debt seriously.

While he was waiting at this moment, he didn’t intend to stay idle.

Therefore, while all the agents were nervously waiting for the Security Bureau to question them one by one, Fang Ze took a horse stance in the meeting room. Fang Ze’s identity was special to begin with. He was a Werewolf among the 20 Prophets.

Coupled with the fact that he looked exceptionally different today, his actions immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The agents in the meeting room who were originally chatting slowly stopped and began to secretly observe Fang Ze’s actions.

Even the agent who was resting on the table looked up slightly to pay attention to Fang Ze’s movements.

In the end, it was Senior Agent Cui Xuemin who couldn’t stand it anymore.

When Fang Ze had been in a horse stance for more than half an hour, he walked over and called, “Agent Fang.”

Fang Ze was in the middle of his horse stance when he was suddenly stopped. He looked up and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Agent Cui?”

Cui Xuemin adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said gently, “Why have you been in the conference room in a horse stance?”

Earlier, when he had made these outrageous moves, Fang Ze had found an excuse.

Therefore, when he heard Cui Xuemin’s question, he first scratched his head and asked, “I don’t think I affected anyone, did

I?!

“In any case, we’re all waiting. Even if we chat, we’re still waiting. Training by going into a horse stance is also part of waiting. Why not do the horse stance?”

Cui Xuemin smiled at Fang’s answer and said, “I don’t mean to question it. I’m simply curious.”

Hearing this, Fang Ze sighed helplessly and said, “Actually, I did all this because of Agent Han’s death.”

The agents in the meeting room had been secretly following their conversation.

Furthermore, they all knew that Han Kaiwei had been imprisoned and died tragically because of Fang Ze.

On top of that, there was Fang Ze’s identity as a suspect.

Thus, when they heard Fang Ze’s answer, many people secretly pricked up their ears.

Some of the more vigilant people even secretly leaned backwards to hide themselves. They were afraid that Fang Ze was holding some strange sacrificial ritual, and that they would be chosen.

While the various agents were having different thoughts, Cui Xuemin did not show it on his face. Instead, he looked at Fang Ze gently and asked, “Why is the horse stance related to Han Kaiwei’s death?”

Fang Ze explained, “Because I’m afraid of death… I’m worried that the murderer is among us, so I’ll exercise more. When the time comes, I can escape and save my life.”

Cui Xuemin was silent.

The other agents were speechless too.

Seeing that Cui Xuemin had nothing more to say, Fang Ze ignored him and continued with his horse stance.

Looking at Fang Ze, who was in a horse stance in the meeting room as if no one else was around, the agents felt as if they were unable to understand his thoughts.

However, they thought about it. If they shared the same train of thought as a criminal, it made sense. Thus, they felt that perhaps this was normal.

And so, the day passed quickly.

During the day, all the agents were called upstairs and questioned.

Even Fang Ze, Wang Hao, Cui Xuemin, Shan Hui, and the others who had been questioned in the past two days were called to the second floor to repeat the questioning.

However, from Bai Zhi’s obviously more irritable mood than yesterday, Fang Ze could still sense that the Security Bureau had fallen into a predicament after Han Kaiwei’s death…

That night, after dinner, the agents returned to their dorms to rest.

When Fang Ze returned to the dormitory, Wang Hao was already there.

As a candidate for the Security Bureau, he had been helping the Security Bureau all day except when he was questioned. Thus, when Fang Ze saw him, he looked tired and worn.

Seeing him like this, Fang Ze couldn’t help but think about the possibility of summoning him tonight.

Previously, when Fang Ze faced Wang Hao in the Late-Night Investigation Room, Fang Ze could only rely on false bravado and bluffing. He had never felt at ease.

However, Fang Ze now had something that Wang Hao needed, which was the Spiritual Awakening Technique.

He had even personally tested the effect of this method and could give all-rounded guidance.

Furthermore, Wang Hao seemed to have accumulated a lot of information recently.

By talking to him once, he could learn about the current movements of the task force and the Security Bureau. Furthermore, there was a high chance that he would gain something of high value.

Thus, perhaps this would be a late-night investigation that would benefit both parties.
