186: Chapter 186 Special Duty Team Report_1 186: Chapter 186 Special Duty Team Report_1 Upon opening the door to let Nagna in from the balcony, Feng Yuan took the item from Nagna’s hand and said
“Thanks for the hard work~”
“Nagna~”
“Ji~”
Seeing Nagna appear, Xiao Ji pulled her to one side.
While Xiao Ji proudly showed off her still unskilled energy manipulation to Nagna, Feng Yuan smiled as he watched Nagna first look at Xiao Ji with puzzlent, and then, after a while, happily shape colorful life energy into various animal forms.
Seeing Xiao Ji’s look of being deeply stricken, Feng Yuan went over to pat Xiao Ji on the head and said
“Comparing yourself to Nagna in this is just asking for trouble, isn’t it?”
Seeing Xiao Ji looking pitifully at him, Feng Yuan held back a laugh and said
“Despite Nagna’s naive appearance, it’s lived for over a hundred years.
Even if it were lazy, its mastery over its own energy is not sothing that a freshly born little fellow like you can compare with, not to ntion it hasn’t been slacking off.”
After comforting Xiao Ji for a bit, Feng Yuan took the item Nagna had brought and looked at it.
Qi Chen, sowhat puzzled, sat on the bed watching Feng Yuan and said
“What’s that?”
“The Ritual Robe.”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan unfolded the object in his hands, which was a set of Ritual Robes similar to what Nagna was wearing.
The robe was mainly white with patterns similar to those on Nagna’s robe.
Taking the Ritual Robe, Feng Yuan went to the bathroom to change.
After a while, when Feng Yuan ca out wearing the robe, Qi Chen, still puzzled, said
“Why would Nagna give you that?”
Waving the scepter in his hand, Feng Yuan just smiled without explanation.
He lifted his hand, and a cascade of colorful rain descended from the sky.
Nagna, who was playing with Xiao Ji, turned its head towards Feng Yuan with curiosity.
Qi Chen, surprised, said
“You can’t an this has the Divine Descent Technique embedded in it?”
“Yep~ I’ll just call it the Life Ritual Robe then~”
Seeing Feng Yuan waving the scepter, Qi Chen said with a bit of amusent
“That doesn’t really suit you, does it?
You prefer to charge to the front, don’t you?”
“Trying out the support role once in a while isn’t bad either~”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan swung the scepter, and a colorful crystal barrier ford between the two of them.
Gazing at the Crystal Barrier, Feng Yuan’s eyes lit up.
With a wave of the scepter, the barrier shattered and dissipated.
Then with another wave, the barrier began to condense and transform at the head of the scepter.
As the scepter grew into a massive hamr with the addition of the colorful crystals, Qi Chen said, deadpan
“You still can’t forget about attacking, huh…”
“Hehe~ Old habits die hard~”
After playing and frolicking with Xiao Ji for a while, Nagna hurried off.
Qi Chen, sowhat puzzled, said
“Doesn’t Nagna seem really busy?”
“Probably almost all Divine Beasts are busy these days.”
After saying this, Feng Yuan took off the Life Ritual Robe and placed it aside with a bit of regret and said
“Too bad I have to wear the uniform to the special task force, or else I could’ve gone wearing this.”
“Why would you wear that?
To make others think you’re a support mber, and then you charge to the front wielding a hamr?”
With a sowhat speechless tone, Qi Chen said to Feng Yuan, who just pursed his lips without defending himself.
The next morning, Feng Yuan yawned as he followed Qi Chen out the door, seeing the Wolf Tooth necklace hung around Feng Yuan’s neck, Qi Chen said with resignation
“Can’t you keep it under your clothes?”
“No, it’s uncomfortable pressed against under my clothes.”
Noticing the Life Bracelet still on Feng Yuan’s hand, Qi Chen could only feel relieved that the special task force of Maomu City wasn’t extrely strict about dress code.
If it had been Shangjing City, with Feng Yuan’s current get-up, there would probably be trouble.
Arriving at the special task force entrance, Feng Yuan once again entrusted Big Cat to Qi Chen and said
“Well, I’m going in, please take good care of Big Cat for ~”
“Sure.”
Najia waved at Feng Yuan from atop Big Cat’s head.
Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan walked into the Special Operations Team office.
At the reception, Captain Chen was holding so docunts, deep in thought.
After a while, he noticed Feng Yuan quietly standing to one side with Xiao Ji in his arms.
Giving him a scrutinizing look from his Wolf Tooth necklace to his Life Bracelet, he said,
“That outfit of yours…
never mind, our requirents here aren’t that strict.”
“Xiao Han, co here for a mont, I’m entrusting this guy to you.”
“Ah?”
A woman who seed to be holding a bag of evidence or sothing else stopped in surprise.
Feng Yuan assessed the woman Captain Chen called Xiao Han.
She had short hair and wore the neat, buttoned-up uniform of the Special Operations Team.
Besides the uniform, she only had a small crossbody bag and didn’t wear any superfluous items.
Seeing the accessories on Feng Yuan, Xiao Han frowned slightly and said to Captain Chen,
“Is he the new guy who just got hired?”
“No, didn’t I tell you a few days ago that there’s a guy who made a mistake and has been punished to follow our operations?
That’s him.”
Xiao Han gave Feng Yuan and the Spirit Beast beside him a quick look and approached, saying,
“Hello, my na is Ye Hanlei.
You can just call Han Lei.
First, co with to put these things away, and then I’ll explain the rules and regulations here to you.”
“You go with her.”
Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him, Captain Chen spoke.
Confused, Feng Yuan placed Xiao Ji on his head and followed Ye Hanlei to a multi-person office.
She put the bag of evidence on the neat desk, turned to Feng Yuan and said,
“Since you’ll only be coming over on weekends, I won’t tell you so things.
The related rules and regulations are here.
Of course, since you won’t be executing tasks independently, there’s no need to morize them.
Just read through once, rember a few things to avoid making mistakes, and you’ll be fine.”
As she spoke, Ye Hanlei pulled out a booklet from a drawer and handed it to Feng Yuan, saying,
“Although I also quite agree that those who snatch others’ Spirit Beasts should be punished severely, that move of yours that affected the entire Maomu City was really inappropriate.
The others were innocent.
Alright, I won’t say any more, just follow our operations later.”
After Ye Hanlei finished giving instructions and busied herself with work, Feng Yuan was silent for a while before he randomly found a place to sit and flipped through the booklet in his hands.
After a mont, Ye Hanlei sighed and shouted to soone nearby,
“Xiao Liao!
You co with later to look for clues.”
Hearing Ye Hanlei’s yell, a young man stood up and walked over, saying,
“Still no findings?”
Feng Yuan checked out the young man; he had a buzz cut and wore his uniform casually, with buttons haphazardly done up—one sleeve buttoned and the other not.
Ye Hanlei replied sowhat helplessly,
“Nothing.
It’s too mysterious.
Neither trace-finding techniques nor surveillance footage have shown any signs of those children.”
“A missing persons case?”
Feng Yuan asked curiously as he approached, only now noticing that the bag of evidence contained a peculiar red flat octagon with beveled edges, gleaming with a crystal-like luster under the light.
He pinched it, puzzled, and said,
“What’s this?
It looks like crystal, but it seems very sturdy.”
“Who are you?”
Xiao Liao looked at Feng Yuan curiously.
As Ye Hanlei explained Feng Yuan’s situation to Xiao Liao, he eyed Feng Yuan with curiosity and remarked,
“I wouldn’t have guessed.
That Dark Barrier the other day was your doing?
You have no idea how furious Yan Lao was…”
“Enough, Xiao Liao, let’s not talk about that.
Help think about what to do next.”
“Uh…
since you’re asking …
Oh, why did you use the Dark Barrier then?
To scare those robbers?”
Feng Yuan played with Xiao Ji’s tuft of hair perched curiously on the table as he looked at the bag of evidence and comnted,
“No, that thing isn’t called the Dark Barrier.
The correct term is Death Domain.
Only after opening the Death Domain can I use the Death Series’ searching techniques.”
“Death Series’ searching techniques?”
“Like Ghostly Search and the like.
Anyway, I did it to find Xiao Ji as quickly as possible.”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Xiao Ji nuzzled Feng Yuan’s palm, and Ye Hanlei looked at Feng Yuan with so surprise.
