Bu Tian Gang

t just name it Meowmeow or Maomao*!

*Clarity: [Maomao] [毛毛] literally translate to baby.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration struck: “Why not call it Longlong?”

Longshen: …

Dong Zhi took advantage before Long Shen could speak and raised the kitten towards him and smiled: “You’ll have name from now on, Longlong!”

Long Shen wanted to speak out against it, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go.
After all, it was just a name.

However, naming is only the first step in this long thousand-mile march for Dong Zhi.
He found that raising a cat is not an easy task.
Even if it was only temporary, cat food, cat litter, hair combs, flea repellent, and nutritional ointment were all indispensable.
He bought some at the pet store and had to order more online after a while. 

Longlong had a very good temper.
It may be because of its previous experience as a stray, but it’s not as playful or mischievous as ordinary domesticated cats.
It just sleeps and eat to its fullest every day.
Dong Zhi worried that at this rate, it’ll balloon up like Kan Chaosheng.

While he raised a cat, he didn’t neglect his training and did everything according to what Long Shen told him.
In the past two days, before he got up and went to bed, he would do two sets of kungfu tona, and even sometimes would do it again after lunch.
Eventually, after two days, the fatigue that had accumulated in his body seemed to have eased a lot, and the heavy and minor side-effects of inviting god had almost disappeared.

As the group of people who went to the tomb returned one after another, their next stage of training was once again back on the table.

For Dong Zhi and his group, they had followed Zhong Yuyi and learn how to invite Gods, but because of an accident in the middle of the course, it had to be cancelled halfway.
Everyone stayed in the farmhouse for a whole week and looked like they had grown long hair and beards by the time they were free.
It was hard for them to wait for the other group to come back as the ceaseless idleness was driving them impatient.

With everyone’s return, they have all arrived in the classroom on time on this morning day in accordance with the notice.

“What do you think we are going to learn today?” Gu Meiren asked Dong Zhi and them.

Everyone shook their heads, feeling a little uneasy.
Generally speaking, the content of the course was usually notified in advance, unless it was to purposefully catch them off-guard, like the simulation training.

Dong Zhi jabbed Ba Sang’s arm with his elbow and said: “Was it fun going to the tombs?”

Ba Sang scratched his head: “It’s okay.
I just followed a big army and worked with a few people to eliminate a lich.
It wasn’t dangerous, but the period inside the tomb was more torturous.”

Gu Meiren also joined the chat: “What do you mean?”

Ba Sang: “In a dark environment, I have no idea what’s ahead or what’s behind.
Unknown danger could be lurking everywhere, so it made me uneasy.”

Gu Meiren sighed: “That’s better than ending before you even start.
I thought it would be fun to invite God.”

Dong Zhi faintly guessed that the suspension of this course should be related to the scene he saw with his clairvoyance, but since the higher-ups are involved, he remained silent about the matter before he got permission.

The buzzing voices suddenly stopped as people came in from the outside.
Everyone showed a look of surprise expressions.

It wasn’t just one or two, but all three Deputy Directors was here!

This was a rare lineup.

Even after the simulation training was over that day, only Wu Bingtian and Long Shen gave them lessons to summarize their experience.
Today, the last Deputy Director, Song Zhicun, was also present.

The three of them were followed by a young man.
While others didn’t know him, Dong Zhi was quite familiar with him.
It was Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan quickly spotted Dong Zhi sitting in his seat and winked at him.
Dong Zhi pretended he didn’t see it.

As usual, Wu Bingtian spoke first.
With a smile on his face, he looked around at everyone: “How are you resting these few days?”

“I’m getting moldy from all this leisure.”

He didn’t know who said it, but it made everyone laughed.
They didn’t need to ask to know that it was from the group that stayed back.

While Li Ying, Liu Qingbo and a few others returned early and had taken a few days off, they were much more reserved.

“Not bad.”

“Let’s continue class.”

“I’m doing good.”

Wu Bingtian’s smile narrowed and became serious.
The atmosphere instantly condensed, and everyone’s mood was raised.

“You have to listen carefully to what I say next.”

Everyone unconsciously adjusted their sitting posture and pricked up their ears.

Wu Bingtian said: “There is a group of tomb robbers who stole a batch of artifacts from the northwest, including a bronze mirror, which fell into the hands of the Japanese.
The police have caught the head of the tomb robber gang.
According to their account, they were only on the periphery of the tomb at the time.
They have not yet entered the real core area, and now those Japanese have already taken the bronze mirror to the northwest, wanting to enter the core of the tomb.
All we have to do is stop the Japanese and get the bronze mirror back.
This should have been the work of the police and the archaeological department, but because it is likely to involve demons, it was handed over to us, so it’s our job to carryout the preliminary cleanup.
Do you understand?”

“Understood!” Everyone responded.

Wu Bingtian nodded: “Now you can ask any questions.”

Li Ying said: “Boss Wu, is that bronze mirror valuable? In case we encounter a situation where we need to choose between people and the mirror, what should we do?”

Wu Bingtian said: “We tentatively speculate that that mirror is likely to be the key to the core area.
At present, we don’t know for the time being what the Japanese’s purpose is, so we need to find out, but if we encounter a kind of situation you mentioned, the safety of your companions is the top priority.”

His gaze swept across the crowd and stayed on Liu Qingbo for a moment.

“This mission is both an assessment and a practice.
The purpose is to see what progress you have made during this period of time, and I must remind you that some may die during this trip.”

There was no sound in the classroom, and there was silence.

Wu Bingtian’s words were like boulders, pressing heavily on everyone’s heart.

“Those Japanese forged their documents and pretended to be foreigners and pretended to be Chinese in order to go to the northwest.
Due to the diversity of transportation mean and complexity of data, it’s difficult to identify them, but according to the confession of the leader of the tomb robber gang, and the information we collected before, there are probably powerful Onmyojis among them.
You must not underestimate the enemy! The opponent is not a zombie in the simulation training.
At a critical moment, while fighting for life and death, they will not give you a second chance to survive! In addition, there are many dangers in an ancient tomb.
Even if you are cultivators, you can’t be careless.
Life, once it’s gone, will never come back, so if any of you want to quit now, you can leave right away!”

Withdrawing from this mission means withdrawing form the Special Administration Bureau.

No matter what everyone was thinking, no one stood up and walk out.

Wu Bingtian’s tone became a bit more solemn: “Don’t think that I’m joking with you.
You can ask about it.
In the past few training sessions, there have been many people who have sacrificed their lives.
They didn’t even have time to become a member of the Special Administration Bureau, before they already fell down.
Don’t regret it later when it’s too late!”

He waited for a while, but still no one got up.

Wu Bingtian nodded: “Very good, there are no cowards in the Special Administration Bureau! Since everyone has decided to stay and participate, let me tell you the specific details.
Although the bronze mirror was looted by the Japanese, we got the engraving on the back of the mirror and found that there are four inscriptions on it with the words Helan and Phoenix.
Based on the situation, we speculate that Helan refers to Helan Mountain, and Phoenix, which should be the ancient name of Yinchuan.
It’s preliminarily estimated that the tomb is located near the mausoleum of the Western Xia Dynasty.
When we get there, we’ll go down from the cave that was dug by the tomb robbers.
The Japanese should be one step ahead of us.
They can block the cave from the inside, but they can’t cover up the traces outside, so we can still find it…”

Everyone listened intently, for fear of missing every detail, because it was not only related to everyone’s assessment, but also to their own safety.
No one would joke about their own lives.

After Wu Bingtian finished speaking, he took a breath, which also gave them time to digest the information.

“This mission will be led by Boss Long and Boss Song personally with Boss Long as the team leader and Boss Song as the deputy team leader.
I will sit in the General Administration Bureau and also serve as logistics to deal with unforeseen needs.
Next, I’ll ask Boss Long to talk more about it.”

Hearing these words, everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.
With two Deputy Directors personally leading the team, it gave them a new understanding of the importance and the difficult severity of the mission.

Long Shen nodded to Wu Bingtian and took a step back.

“This mission is equivalent to a practical exam.
The final result will determine whether you can stay and become a member of the Special Administration Bureau.
Outside, my request is very simple.
Everyone must follow instructions.
I don’t want to have a situation where you do your own thing, and it backfires.
If you try, even if you can return alive, I won’t let you enter the Special Administration Bureau.
That’s all.”

His speech has always been concise and powerful, shocking people’s hearts.
Even for someone like Liu Qingbo who doesn’t listen to commands, when he hears such a thing, it held more weight to him.

Song Zhicun coughed lightly: “Let me introduce everyone.
This is Lin Xuan.
He has had contact with the Japanese before and is more familiar with the situation.
He will join us this time.”

It seems that the reason why Lin Xuan was not dealt with was because he was very smart, surrendered to them in time, and turned into a “tainted witness*”.

*(污点证人) Refers to witnesses who are also participants in criminal activities (usually the crime itself) but testify for the prosecution in exchange for immunity from criminal prosecution or reduce or lenient charges.

Although the Lin Family is quite prestigious in Lignan, since Lin Xuan only recently inherited the family business, everyone had no reaction to his name.

Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, Song Zhicun smiled and said: “Today is a holiday.
Tomorrow morning at nine, gather here and we’ll set off on time.
Everyone should rest early today and stop playing around.
If you can’t get up tomorrow morning, we won’t wait for you.
Just go to Yinchuan by yourself.”

He deliberately reconciled the atmosphere, but everyone was still immersed in what they had just learned that no one could laugh.
Seeing this, Wu Bingtian didn’t say much, so he let everyone disperse, and he left with the other two.

Dong Zhi: Longlong, come here, do you want to play with a cat teaser?

Long Shen, who was in a meeting, sneezed.
