Once, I wanted to be a good person

If Fang Ze was somewhat doubtful before about whether he was experiencing an illusion, this time, Fang Ze truly no longer considered everything before him an illusion.

He knew that this must be Black Panther's ability taking effect!

And this also meant that the moment he left the Security Bureau, he might have encountered a crisis that threatened his life!

However, because the black mist wasn't very thick and the Security Bureau was right beside him, Fang Ze didn't run away immediately but instead stood still, trying to see how the situation would unfold.

At the same time, the vagrant lying on the rooftop of the residential building lightly swept his gaze over the entrance of the Security Bureau, his eyes carrying a hint of confusion.

It might seem like he was just lying there doing nothing, but in fact, his spiritual sense was constantly covering all the peripheral areas of the Security Bureau.

It wasn't just people walking out the front gate he would be aware of—if an ant were to stealthily make its way out from within the walls, he would know at once.

However, just a moment ago, his spiritual sense suddenly stirred as if something had touched it.

But when he tried to sense again, he found nothing out of the ordinary.

Involuntarily, he looked up—the dark Security Bureau loomed like a beast ready to devour, instinctively evoking fear in those who saw it.

In front of the Security Bureau's gate, however, there was no one to be seen and no creatures either.

'Is it an illusion?' the vagrant thought, his brow furrowing slightly as he continued to monitor the situation at the entrance of the Security Bureau.

But no matter how much he sensed, he discovered nothing abnormal.

So after sensing for a while, the vagrant ultimately concluded that he must have sensed incorrectly.

Therefore, he withdrew his gaze and continued to lie there lazily...

Meanwhile, Fang Ze also noticed that the black mist in front of him gradually faded, eventually returning to the thin layer it had been when he first exited the Security Bureau.

Knowing that he had truly deceived the Yang Transformation expert, Fang Ze still didn't return to the Security Bureau; instead, he began to cautiously move around near the entrance.@@novelbin@@

This time, Black Panther's ability issued no further warnings.

From this, it seemed he was indeed safe...

After testing for a while at the entrance, Fang Ze tried to return to the Security Bureau.

As he passed through its gates, the black mist before his eyes dissipated instantaneously, as if the ability was reminding him that he was absolutely safe here.

Feeling a sense of relief, Fang Ze tried to control his Clone Body, wanting to see if the ability would be effective on the clone.

Unlike the original, the Clone Body had barely reached the entrance, not even exiting yet, when the black mist began to thicken before it.

Fang Ze felt a great sense of reassurance. It seems... the ability worked on the clone too.

After ascertaining the results, Fang Ze didn't procrastinate but controlled the clone to return, and both bodies went back to the office together.

Having verified Black Panther's ability, the last weight in Fang Ze's heart finally settled.

In the office, he looked at the dark sky over Emerald City and remained silent for a long time.

Now everything was ready... Everything, just waiting for tomorrow to unfold.

.......

A night without words.

The next day, Fang Ze acted perfectly normal.

He worked when it was time to work, attended meetings when it was time for meetings, and wrote reports when it was time for reports.

He completely did not betray any sign of anomaly.

Only a few people close to him could sense that something was slightly off with Fang Ze today.

It wasn't particularly obvious, just that he seemed to be a bit too normal.

Nothing at all like the usual Fang Ze who would not play by the books...

....

Outside the Security Bureau, in a gloomy alleyway.

Black Bull and his people were also slowly gathering.

With the plans that Black Shadow had made a few days earlier, they had started specific preparations and arrangements since yesterday.

The little girl and the fat man had left Emerald City early on.

As for Black Bull, the beautiful young woman, and the old crone, the three of them had all convened near the Security Bureau early in the morning, ready to kick off their plan at any moment...

....

The teahouse where Fang Ze and Hua Nu had tea last time.

In a private room on the second floor, Hua Nu, Director Pang, and Butcher Dog were entertaining a woman whose entire body, both torso and limbs, was wrapped in bandages covered with strange symbols, leaving only her eyes exposed.

This woman clearly held a higher status than the others within the Rejuvenation Society. In her presence, Hua Nu and the others were very respectful.

The four of them exchanged information in the teahouse's private room for almost half an hour. Afterward, Director Pang and Butcher Dog left first, while Hua Nu went with the Bandage Woman towards the vicinity of the Security Bureau...

....

The rooftop opposite the Security Bureau.

The vagrant's Wine Gourd seemed to have finally run out of wine. His mood gradually turned irritable.

Without wine, all he could do was pick at his feet and stroke the gleaming sword in his hand.

The sword, as if sentient, grew brighter the more he touched it.

In the end, the cold light from the sword was so intense that it inspired dread at a mere glance, as if with just a thought, it could cut down all creatures in the world...

.....

Emerald City, Governing Hall.

In a luxurious noble room, Jiang Cheng lowered his head elegantly as he finished a document, then looked up at the sky outside.

The weather was so-so today. Even though it was not raining, it seemed to be enveloped in a thin layer of gray mist.
