Chapter 30 Gains — Another Shadow Warrior?

Thinking of this, Fang Ze did not talk about this anymore. He waved his hand and summoned all the Awakening materials the girl had bought in front of him. After counting them and confirming that she had bought all the Awakening materials except for the blue crystal, he nodded in satisfaction. Then, he sat on the black throne and looked down at the girl. "If there's nothing else, you can go back." "Tomorrow, remember to buy the blue crystal. After all, it's very important for the ceremony." Hearing Fang Ze's words, the girl fell to her knees again, then lowered her head and replied, "Yes. Mr. Devil..." Just like their last encounter, this girl had always played her part. She never did or said anything unnecessary. After breaking the connection, he watched as the girl slowly disappeared to the floor. Then, Fang Ze pulled out the battered lamp from beneath his throne. With a click, he removed the room disguise. Even though he had experienced it two or three times before, when he saw the scene in front of him disappear like an illusion, Fang Ze still felt a sense of loss. After all, the feeling of being in control of everything in the room like a god was too intoxicating. He did not know when he could have such strength in the real world. Recovering from his thoughts, Fang Ze looked at the table in front of him, intending to see what he had gained. If he had obtained some information the last time he saw Miao Miao, resulting in him obtaining a disaster creature as a reward, it would make sense. In that case, because of the short time today, he had only collected the items and resolved the girl's difficulties. As a result, Fang Ze did not dare to expect anything from today. Thus, when he saw the same black mud-like object on the table again, he was really surprised! "It's the same as yesterday's gains?" "Could it be... another shadow warrior?" Fang Ze was a little bewildered. Slightly incredulous, he picked up the puddle of mud. The mud was cold and sticky in his hand. He felt a little disgusted. However, Fang Ze did not mind because the information that appeared in his mind told him again that this was really a shadow warrior! Even the introduction was exactly the same. Fang Ze flung the mud to the ground in surprise. Like the shadow warrior from yesterday, the mud slowly merged into Fang Ze's shadow. Then, a 2.5-meter-tall male shadow warrior with a black body and strange patterns on his face crawled out. If yesterday's swordswoman was an agility-type shadow warrior, then this shadow warrior in front of him was definitely a strength-type. His body looked at least twice as wide as Lady Knife's. He was tall and burly. Furthermore, even though his whole body was black, Fang Ze could still see the explosive power of his body. Unlike Lady Knife, who was holding a large sword, he was holding a large iron rod that was as thick as a bowl. The iron rod was taller than he was. It was thick and muscular. When he carried it over his shoulder, he had the domineering air of an inverted willow tree1. Even though Fang Ze looked at the shadow warrior in front of him, he had other things on his mind. He remembered the information he had obtained when he had obtained the Late-Night Investigation Room. What he gained from the investigation room was not entirely random. Instead, it was based on the "circumstances of the person being investigated" and the "value of the information obtained". Then, Fang Ze would randomly obtain an item that was "related to the other party". In other words, what he gained was actually closely related to the person being investigated. Take Wang Hao for example. The fact that he was chosen by the Security Bureau meant that he had the potential to become an Awakened. Coupled with the fact that he liked to read "intelligence magazines", Fang Ze's first investigation resulted in him obtaining an extraordinary treasure like the "Salty Magazine". Then, the subsequent Spiritual Awakening Technique that Fang Ze obtained was most likely a suitable method for Wang Hao to Awaken. That was why Fang Ze obtained it. With Wang Hao, Fang Ze had already verified that there was no problem with the rules governing the gains he obtained from the investigation. So... here was the problem. He only received such a reward after obtaining important information from Wang Hao twice. In that case, what about the girl, whom he had summoned two times and didn't obtain any useful information, but received two disaster creatures from? At that moment, he was looking at the two of them solemnly. Then, he said, "The Commissioner wants everyone to gather in the meeting room on the first floor immediately." Fang Ze and Wang Hao exchanged a puzzled look. Wang Hao was a quiet person and wouldn't take the initiative to speak, so in the end, it was Fang Ze who asked, "Brother Gao, did something happen? Why do you look so anxious?" Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Gao Shu looked at the two of them and hesitated. In the end, he explained in a low voice, "Han Kaiwei is dead." Fang Ze and Wang Hao couldn't help but look surprised at his words. Fang Ze involuntarily asked, "How did he die?" Gao Shu shook his head and said, "I don't know." "There were no traces left at the scene. Furthermore, the two trainee agents on guard heard nothing out of the ordinary." "By the time they smelled blood, he'd been dead for a long time." "When his body was found, he was hanging from the ceiling by a rope around his neck. Then, his legs were cut off. The blood was running down his body until it was almost dry." "Then, directly below his body, the killer drew a pattern. It was a palm with an eye. I don't know what it meant." Fang Ze's pupils contracted. This didn't seem like an ordinary way to kill someone. It felt a little strange. Did he upset someone? Before he could think clearly, Gao Shu said, "Well, I'm not going to chat with you. I have to inform the others. You'd better get to the meeting room." With that, he left their room and headed for the next dormitory. Upon seeing this, Fang Ze and Wang Hao didn't dare to delay. They quickly picked up their uniforms and put them on as they quickly walked out. They reached the first floor of the villa. Before they reached the meeting room, Fang Ze could hear the noise in the meeting room from afar. He and Wang Hao looked at each other, then hurried inside. They entered the meeting room. Sure enough, most of the agents were already there, chatting in small groups. Fang Ze's gaze lingered on all the agents for a moment. Most of the agents' faces were alert and tense. Clearly, Han Kaiwei's sudden death had made them very nervous. In particular, since he had died so strangely, it made them even more uneasy. Among them, only the few senior agents appeared more composed. They stood out from all the other agents. Take Shan Hui, the most senior agent, for example. He was still holding his thermos and drinking from it, his eyelids drooping. His thoughts were unreadable. Another example was Cui Xuemin, a senior agent who was said to have a powerful background. She was standing with another senior agent, Shen Lan, and chatting softly. As they chatted, like Fang Ze, their sharp eyes scanned all the agents. Fang Ze took in everyone's reactions and lowered his head to ponder this matter. Why had Han Kaiwei been killed? He had been locked up for two days and nothing had happened. Why was he suddenly killed last night? Was this because of what happened yesterday afternoon? However, what exactly happened yesterday? Soon, while Fang Ze was thinking quietly, all the agents arrived at the scene. After another five minutes, Commissioner Pang swung his paunchy frame around and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then, he trotted in. As soon as he entered, the noise in the meeting room died down. All eyes turned to him. However, he didn't look at the others. Instead, his gaze fell straight on Fang Ze. Then, he extended his chubby hand and waved at Fang Ze. "Fang Ze, come out for a moment." Everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Ze. Fang Ze also couldn't help but pause.
