Resurrection of Spiritual Energy: Breath of Thunder at the Beginning

After returning to Jiangcheng, the two told Lan Wentian about the "Dharma of Swallowing Heaven and Eating Earth".

I couldn't tell you the reason why I got it, so I could only make up a reason for accidentally falling off the cliff.

After learning about this, Lan Wentian was also extremely surprised by this cultivation method.

He also generously expressed his willingness to support their cultivation.

So while waiting for news from the Inspection Department, Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli practiced the "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" with the support of Lan Wentian.

This cultivation method is worthy of being a cultivation method beyond the special level. In just a few days, Shen Lin rose from level one, from level three to level three, to level three and level two.

According to Shen Lin's estimation, his current strength should be around level four and level three.

Of course, to achieve this, the price paid is not small.

Lan Wentian said frankly that with his financial resources, he would probably be bankrupt by the time the two of them reached the fourth level.

Therefore, in the future, we will have to rely more on Lan Ruoli's memories of the future to break into more space cracks.

Of course, there is another way, which is to rob the Outer League.

There are also a lot of good things in the Outer League's stronghold.

But this depends on luck.

If people don't jump out and complain, Shen Lin and the others have nothing to do.

After all, Lan Ruoli couldn't possibly remember the locations of those small strongholds. What she remembered were the big strongholds that they couldn't afford to mess with now.

On this day, Shen Lin's doorbell rang.

Shen Lin opened the door and saw a handful of yellow hair.

"The place you were assigned is out, in the Western Desert." Yan Fei said with a smile.

…

Western Desert, as you can tell from its name, is located in the west of China.

This is a relatively barren place, but the crime rate remains high, and it is an area often visited by the Outer Alliance.

But when Shen Lin came here, he found that it was not as barren as he imagined.

At least not the mud house he imagined.

The buildings look similar to those in the countryside in Jiangcheng.

The Audit Department here is similar and looks just like the village committee.

When Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli walked in, there were about a dozen people working on computers.

As soon as they saw a stranger come in, many people turned around.

"What do you want?" The nearest young man stood up and asked kindly.

"Ah, we were assigned to work here." Shen Lin said.

Upon hearing what Shen Lin said, the young man's expression darkened: "Oh, that's it. Go there, that's the director's office."

At this time, everyone else turned around and looked at Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli with unkind expressions.

Shen Lin heard someone say: "Why did you send two brats here again? Don't you think they've done enough harm to us?"

Shen Lin felt strange, but didn't say anything more and walked into the director's office with Lan Ruoli.

The director's name is Lin Jun, and he is a fourth-level and second-level psychic.

When Shen Lin saw him, he finally understood why the Western Desert was said to be barren.

This poverty seems to refer to cultivation.

The director of an inspection department is only at the fourth level, which is really too low.

You know, in Jiangcheng, a high school principal has an eighth level of strength.

However, this director is different from those outside. He has a very good attitude towards Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli.

"Please take a seat." Director Lin said with a smile on his face, "On behalf of all the staff, I welcome you two to join our West Desert Inspection Department."

"You're welcome, Director Lin." Shen Lin said.

"Haha." Director Lin laughed twice and said, "Then I won't talk nonsense."

Then, he picked up the phone, dialed three numbers, and said into the phone: "Captain Qi, come here."

Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked very capable walked in. He seemed to be around level three or nine.

"Shen Lin, Lan Ruoli, this is Captain Qi Haiqi. From now on, you will work under him." Director Lin introduced.

"Hello, Captain Qi, please give me your advice next time." Lan Ruoli stretched out her hand.

Qi Hai glanced at the two of them, but did not reach out. Instead, he slapped his hands on the table: "Director, please allow me to refuse!"

"Captain Qi, this..." Director Lin wanted to say something else.

Qi Hai interrupted him: "Director, you don't have to say anything, I will never take over this kind of person again!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Shen Lin felt strange in his heart.

What is this kind of person? What kind of people are we?

Director Lin took out a tissue, wiped his sweat, and said to Shen Lin and the others: "Well, something happened before. Captain Qi may have some misunderstandings about you two. Don't mind it."

"Misunderstand?"

"Actually, the Souji also sent two young talents like these two here before."

Having said this, Director Lin was silent for a moment, seeming to be considering his words.

"Then, during a mission, they might be in... um... not very good condition, which resulted in some personnel losses."

As if no explanation was appropriate, Director Lin simply stopped explaining and said, "Anyway, don't worry, I will convince Captain Qi."

Shen Lin probably understood this.

Judging from Director Lin's words, deeds, and information revealed, the current situation is probably as follows:

The General Secretary also sent people here before.

It's just that the people who come here are probably not very good. In all likelihood, they are the so-called descendants of high-ranking cadres, the kind with no level.

So in a certain incident, they got into trouble and killed someone.

So after they revealed their identities, the people in the institute and Captain Qi had this attitude towards the two of them.

Thinking of this, Shen Lin suddenly realized, did Deputy Director Yan send them here for a purpose?

I just want them to improve the impression of the General Secretary here.

The more Shen Lin thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Later, Director Lin asked someone to take Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli to the dormitory first.

Shen Lin found an excuse to go to the toilet and returned to the door of Director Lin's office.

The conversation he heard between Director Lin and Qi Hai at the door further confirmed his guess.

"Director, why do you still accept these people? Have you forgotten how they killed Xiao Liu and the others?"

"This is arranged by Deputy Director Yan Fei of the General Department, and I can't refuse."

"Then don't arrange it under my hands. I'm afraid I won't be able to help it."

"You are the only commander now. If I don't arrange for you, who will you be assigned to? Do you still want them to bring trouble to other teams?"

"..."

Qi Hai was silent for a few seconds.

"Okay, let's come to my place. But I have one condition, let them leave as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, they just use our place as a springboard, and they don't want to stay here any longer."

"That's good."

…

The next day, Director Lin informed Shen Lin and others that Qi Hai had changed his mind and was willing to accept them.

In the afternoon, Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli followed Qi Hai on a mission.

But Captain Qi obviously still has a negative impression of the two of them.

Along the way, he was indifferent to both of them and barely said a word.

Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli were not annoyed either.

Things like that have happened before, and it's impossible for people to change their attitude all of a sudden.

Even if you take the initiative to explain it, others may not believe it.

But it doesn’t matter, we have a long way to go.

Now that we know it is a misunderstanding, the misunderstanding will be resolved one day.

For example, if you meet a vicious criminal, you can tell him through practical actions that you and Lan Ruoli are different from those who came before.

But there is probably no chance today.

Because the target of today's mission is not a vicious criminal, just a little guy.

Wu Xiong, a habitual theft criminal, only has a level one or three, and his power is only a C-level power of "retrieving objects from the air".

To be honest, for a guy like this, it would be a bit flattering for three people to go out to catch him.

Ten minutes after leaving the Audit Department, the three of them arrived at the sewer.

According to information from the Intelligence Department of the Audit Department, Wu Xiong's hiding place is in the sewer.

The sewer is dark and damp, with passages extending in all directions, like a maze. It is indeed a good place to hide.

In fact, if someone hadn't reported it, the Audit Department really wouldn't have discovered this place.

Following the route indicated by the intelligence, the three walked in the sewer for half an hour.

Finally, the next corner is the opponent's hiding spot.

"Shh." Qi Hai made a silent gesture to Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli, then took out a mirror and used the reflection to look around the corner.

The mirror shows a series of daily necessities, as well as tables, chairs and furniture.

It seems that this is indeed Wu Xiong's hiding place.

However, the most crucial figure of Wu Xiong himself was not seen.

"Did we go out to commit a crime?" Qi Hai walked out of the corner, "Or have we been discovered? Wu Xiong has already abandoned this hiding spot."

Shen Lin and Lan Ruoli followed together.

At this moment, the stone wall above the sewer suddenly opened, and four iron bars fell from it, like a cage, surrounding the three people.

"No! It's a trap!" Qi Hai's expression changed.

A figure emerged from the shadows.

"Wu Xiong?" Qi Hai looked in the direction of that person.

"Wu Xiong? Are you talking about this thief? Captain Qi." The man threw a heavy object from his hand as he walked forward.

That was a person with a sinister appearance.

Shen Lin had seen Wu Xiong's photo, and this person was Wu Xiong, the target of their trip.

At this time, Wu Xiong's body was stiff, without any warmth, and he was obviously dead.

Since the person who set this trap was not Wu Xiong, then who could it be?

Shen Lin looked up.

The man before had stepped out of the shadows, revealing a wild face.

His hair was spread out like a lion's mane.

A face that looks extremely abstract, and a mouth full of fangs.

Superpowers may sometimes affect appearance.

This is clearly the case before us.

This is not uncommon.

Seeing this beast man, Qi Hai's expression changed: "It's you!"
