Hong Yi was just about to leave the Liushenmen branch and go to the military camp, but before he walked out of the gate, he saw a figure running towards him with the wind.
"Zhuifeng! You're back?!" Hong Yi shouted in surprise. It was really a relief that the real culprit appeared just in time.
Zhuifeng stopped and the wounds on his body were clearly visible.
"What happened?" Hong Yi supported him and used his internal strength to heal his wounds.
"Things are very complicated. Has Chen Hai arrived? Have you been attacked recently?" Zhuifeng asked anxiously.
"I'm here. I'm taking a class inside. I wasn't attacked, but what happened? Tell me quickly." Hong Yi felt a little uneasy when he saw him like this.
"Things are complicated. Let's talk as we walk. I'll try to be brief, but it's a long story." Zhuifeng said as he pulled Hong Yi into the Liushenmen branch.
"The number of rebels on Mount Qixia exceeded our estimates, and I was discovered directly. The discoverer was Gan Ning, their main general. He is very powerful and skilled in using a armored sword." Zhuifeng said concisely.
"Jia Dao, Gan Ning, very powerful, you are not kidding..." Hong Yi obviously also thought of the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms.
"It's not certain yet. Then I met someone from the Time Management Bureau, and he said there was a big problem with our timeline." Zhuifeng continued.
"Time Management Bureau? What kind of department is that? I've never heard of it. And where are the people?" Hong Yi looked back and didn't see anyone following him.
"He said he was going to his residence to get some things, so I came to find Chen Hai first." Zhuifeng explained.
"Wait, wait, why do you trust someone from a department you've never heard of?" Hong Yi broke free from his hand and stopped. He was a little doubtful whether the person in front of him was the detective. Why did he not even have the most basic vigilance
"He saved my life." Zhuifeng said and paused.
"What you said makes sense. I think I trusted him too much..." Zhuifeng reflected that saving lives can sometimes be exploited by the enemy.
"Zhuifeng?!" Chen Hai, who happened to be finishing his get out of class, saw Zhuifeng's miserable appearance and ran over in surprise, "Why did you become like this?"
Zhuifeng raised his head and glanced at Chen Hai's half-long hair, then looked at Hong Yi and exchanged glances with each other.
"Something happened. So, don't attend the next classes. Come with me first." Zhuifeng looked at Chen Hai and said.
"Where are we going?" Chen Hai also realized something was wrong. The way these two people looked at him was a bit like the way he looked at those suspected corrupt officials, and their postures also revealed a bit of vigilance.
"Don't worry about this, just follow me." Zhuifeng grabbed Chen Hai's arm and did not intend to explain to him immediately.
After saying that, Hong Yi and Zhui Feng took Chen Hai to the residence mentioned on Shiyao Road.
Unexpectedly, along the way, Chen Hai did not have any special reaction. He was just concerned about Zhuifeng's injuries. At the same time, Shi Yao did not run away. When they arrived, he was holding a large iron box and was about to go out.
Chen Hai paused at Shi Yao's face and head. This is premature aging! A thirty-year-old face and eighty-year-old hair? Even a programmer wouldn't be like this.
"You came at the right time. I have packed my things. I think that person hasn't left yet." Shi Yao said to Zhuifeng.
Zhuifeng and Hong Yi tacitly stepped aside, letting Chen Hai out and allowing the two men to face each other.
After having a better view, Chen Hai discovered more strange things. The clothes of the person in front of him seemed to be some kind of uniform, and this uniform had the shadow of a suit.
Shi Yao was also looking at Chen Hai. The man's posture didn't seem like he was from this world at all, and it was obvious that he had just started growing his hair. However, there was no movement from the instrument in his hand.
Ten minutes later, after exchanging some information, the four of them sat next to the table in the room. Zhuifeng and Hong Yi turned their backs to the door to prevent the two men from suddenly rushing out.
Chen Hai was silent. Time Management Bureau? Isn't this a martial arts world? How come such an organization has emerged? What should I do? To be honest, I should continue to pretend according to the identity given by the main god space.
"Okay, don't be silent. We have some questions to ask. These questions will affect how much we believe in your words. Think about it before you answer." Hong Yi took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.
"Shi Yao, you said you are from the Time Management Bureau and are responsible for stabilizing the timeline. So what have you done?" Zhuifeng asked first.
"What have I done? I have done a lot, but you can't possibly realize it." Shi Yao was a little impatient until he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, there is something that I haven't had time to revise yet. It happened in your era. Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng both know about it, right? Who won the duel?"
"I know, Ximen Chuxue won, right?" Zhuifeng said and looked at Hong Yi. Hong Yi nodded. He would never forget this battle that could be passed down for thousands of years.
"No, in history, the winner should be Ye Gucheng. It's just that a time tour group violated the rules and exposed themselves in front of you. Ye Gucheng didn't die from the sword, but from his own heart disease. We were going to correct history, but the fluctuations in the timeline prevent us from having time for the time being." Shi Yao said quickly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Hong Yi slammed the table and stood up. "What makes you say that Ximen Chuxue won because of that tour group?"
Shi Yao paused and looked at Zhuifeng. His eyes implied that this person was a fan of Ximen Chuxue
Zhuifeng nodded.
"Okay, okay, I can't provide evidence for this, but they were from the same tour group. They also went to Qixia Town and then to Tongfu Inn where the Thief Saint and the Red Flame Mad Demon were." Shi Yao knew that it was meaningless to argue with fans. How could he argue with them when they were brainwashed? He felt that changing the topic was the right thing to do.
"Wait, wait, I know the Thief Saint, it's Bai Zhantang, but who is this Red Flame Demon?" Chen Hai interrupted and asked Zhuifeng the question first, causing Zhuifeng to almost choke on his own saliva.
"Mo Xiaobei, that was her future title, the bloodthirsty and violent Red Flame Demon who killed people like crazy. But after being influenced by that man, Mo Xiaobei has decided to give up martial arts and pursue literature. This was supposed to be corrected, but it's too late." Shi Yao swiped twice on the tablet and pulled out Mo Xiaobei's photo.
In the photo, Mo Xiaobei was holding a long sword with blood dripping from it. Her flying hair covered half of her face, making her look bloody and weird.
"How could it be... Xiaobei is such a well-behaved child." Chen Hai was a little shocked.
"Do you want to correct this kind of thing too?" Zhuifeng asked with narrowed eyes.
"Of course, I know that this is a good thing for people of this era and Mo Xiaobei himself, but it is necessary to maintain the stability of the timeline. The fluctuation of the timeline is likely to cause an extremely exaggerated butterfly effect, causing many things to go wrong." Shi Yao said.
"You should be able to find out about this. The people at Tongfu Inn are not so far away from being unable to remember a person who behaved strangely and spoke peculiarly a few months ago."
Hong Yi actually believed Shi Yao's words a little bit. Tongfu Inn was not far from here and could be reached in a few days. There was no point in telling such a lie.
"It's your turn. I heard that you had short hair when you appeared in Tongfu Inn. What's going on? Explain it to me." Hong Yi turned and looked at Chen Hai.
Chen Hai was silent for a moment, "I'm sure there were some adventures, and that's why I have short hair."
"What adventure?"
Chen Hai took a deep breath. He had already made up the story. As everyone knows, a good lie should be nine truths and one lie, even if he wanted to hide something.
"According to this friend, I should have gone to another point in time, where I was an employee of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province," said Chen Hai.
"So you are a timeline stowaway?" Shi Yao stared at Chen Hai.
"Smuggler? I am originally from this era. I don't want to go to that time. Do you know how difficult it was to have your own identity information and correct your various habits in that era? And just because of the wrong identity, I have worked for so many years and am still just an employee!" Chen Hai retorted, slamming the table.
"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Let me ask you, which university did you graduate from?" Shi Yao continued to ask.
"Handong University of Political Science and Law."
"What is the graduation oath?"
"I am a prosecutor of the Yanhuang People's Republic. I swear to be loyal to the country, the people, the Constitution and the law, to faithfully perform my legal supervision duties, to abide by the professional ethics of inspection, to uphold fairness and justice, and to maintain the unity of the legal system!"
Chen Hai swore the oath on the spot without any hesitation. He would never forget these words, and it was his father who led him to take the oath.
"You're lying..." Shi Yaoxian said forcefully, then paused and recalled, "Although I'm not the person in charge of the modern timeline, there is no such thing as the Yanhuang Kingdom in my memory!"
"You're lying!" Chen Hai glared at him, "That's where I fought!"
Shi Yao was speechless for a moment when he saw Chen Hai like this. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's still not right. You went there in your real body. Then have you been missing here for many years?"
"No, my hair is short because I didn't react when I came back, so I cut it myself with scissors. After I cut it, I realized it had come back, but there was no way to put it back, so I just trimmed it." Chen Hai continued.
Shi Yao was completely choked. "That's not right. I didn't detect any trace of you traveling through time."
Seeing Shi Yao's hesitation, Chen Hai pressed the issue, "Is this my fault? Logically, I should accuse you, the Time Management Bureau, of making me travel through time inexplicably. I am the victim, okay?"
"I... this..." Shi Yaotan sat back in his chair, "Forget it, I don't know what to say. You can sue me if you want. Anyway, the Time Management Bureau no longer exists."
Zhuifeng and Hong Yi listened from beginning to end without being able to get a word in. What the two were discussing was so bizarre that it was beyond their comprehension.
But from the current perspective, there seems to be no problem with these two people, except for their confusing time-travel relationship.
"I have one last question. Since you just came back, how did you win my sister's heart?" Zhuifeng asked with narrowed eyes. He was a little suspicious that Chen Hai was a weird uncle.
"What do you mean by winning your sister's heart? I didn't do anything to Guo Furong!" Chen Hai was shocked and tried to defend himself. If this got to Guo Furong's ears and she held him responsible, he would be slapped to death.
"It's not Guo Furong, it's Guo Qiangwei."
"That's even more impossible. As soon as I arrived at Qixia Town, she slapped me to the ground. I had to lie in bed for almost a month before I recovered. I didn't say a few words to her in total!" Chen Hai felt like he was going to die unjustly.
Bang, Hong Yi slammed the letter on the table.
"How do you explain this letter?"
Chen Hai quickly opened it and read it, and finally found out who was stabbing him in the back, this totally unreliable Guo Furong!
"First of all, I declare that I have nothing to do with Guo Qiangwei. Secondly, this is a letter Guo Furong sent me, and I have never opened it from beginning to end." Chen Hai hurriedly distanced himself from the matter. He was not the kind of person who would take advantage of young girls.
"Then why would Guo Furong help you?" Hong Yi asked.
"Because I helped them convince Guo Juxia." Chen Hai explained the matter again.
At the same time, he felt relieved. At this point, his identity should be secure.
Zhuifeng scratched his nose. Based on his understanding of Guo Furong, that person might do such a thing.
Well, after interrogating for a long time, I still can't determine which of the two people is problematic. Instead, their identities are becoming more and more complicated. One is the manager of the timeline, and the other is a stowaway of the timeline. It's a bit speechless.
"Who do you think is more trustworthy between the two of them?" Zhuifeng pulled Hong Yi aside and asked.
"No one can be trusted!" Hong Yi's face was stern, "How could Ximen Chuxue win by relying on external forces!"
"Brother, now is not the time to discuss this. What are you going to do with these two?" Zhuifeng was a little speechless.
"Take them all back to the Six Gates first." Hong Yi thought about it and felt that torture was not appropriate. After all, he could not completely rule out the possibility that what they said was true. "Well, you watch over the two of them first. I will go and discuss with Captain Cheng. Isn't there Gan Ning in Qixia Mountain? We can capture him and confront him later."
"Okay, I'll go with you first. The problems in Qixia Mountain are quite serious, and I don't know why there are so many rebels this time." Zhuifeng said with a sigh.
Attacking the mountain is not a good idea. The mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the addition of Gan Ning, many people might die this time.
After the two reached an agreement, they took Shi Yao and Chen Hai back to Liushenmen.
Shi Yao clasped the iron box tightly with both hands until his knuckles turned white. He lowered his head and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Chen Hai remained silent, feeling a little heavy in his heart. This was a problem. Would he be able to explore other places in the future? If not, what if he didn't have enough points
