Once, I wanted to be a good person

Although the information obtained from the ranger indicated that the organization didn't want to kill him outright.

They suspected that he had stolen something they wanted, so they intended to capture him for investigation.

But, once they delved into his Extraordinary Artifact, the source of his Awakening Ability, the existence of the "Late-Night Investigation Room" would inevitably be exposed.

Setting aside whether the "Late-Night Investigation Room" was the thing the organization was after.

Just the great power of the "Late-Night Investigation Room" could easily arouse the organization's covetousness.

Fang Ze certainly didn't think the organization was made up of good Samaritans.

So, there could only be two outcomes in the end.

Either the "Late-Night Investigation Room" was taken away, or he himself would become a machine for producing Extraordinary Items for the organization.

And neither of those outcomes was acceptable to Fang Ze.

Therefore, shaking off the organization's tracking and hunting had become the current issue Fang Ze needed to resolve.

And to get rid of the organization's tracking, there were only two methods.

The first was to survive 30 days until the mark on his body disappeared, and then the organization would naturally be unable to find him.

Hmm... Fang Ze might not be able to find himself either.

The second was to deal with the person who had marked him.

According to the information from the ranger, that "Golden Fox" who had marked him held a certain position within the organization and must be very powerful. Moreover, he was hiding within the Special Case Team.

He simply couldn't deal with him.

At this thought, Fang Ze was momentarily stunned.

He recalled the inspiration that had flashed through his mind in the Late-Night Investigation Room...

He muttered to himself, "I can't deal with him..."

"Eh? Why should 'I' deal with him?"

"He's a member of the organization, meaning an insider threat in the Special Case Team. Compared to me, it should be the Special Case Team and the Security Bureau who are most eager to catch and deal with him, right?"

"So... if I just find out who he is and then inform the Special Case Team, wouldn't everything be taken care of?"

With that thought, Fang Ze felt as if a floodgate of ideas had opened in his mind.

Right!

Why bother handling everything on his own? Isn't it better to let the wolves consume the tigers?

Moreover, he still held information on the Rejuvenation Society that the Security Bureau was most interested in.

They simply had no reason to decline!

What's the point in being a Rash Man! A smart person like him should play the game of conspiracy!

And with that realization, Fang Ze started pondering how to make contact with the Security Bureau while ensuring his own safety?

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but remember the prize he had accidentally obtained before: the Qingfeng Seed.

Huh?

That little thing... it can make remote contact, as long as there's a scent, right?

And in his hands, he just happened to have... Bai Ling's "scent."

With that thought, Fang Ze rolled off the vine bed, picked up the bundle, searched through it, and pulled out a stack of Lini.

This was the money Fang Ze had tricked (not really), borrowed from Bai Ling before he left.

It surely carried Bai Ling's scent.

With that, all the objective conditions for the plan to let the wolves consume the tigers were in place.

What remained was to see if he could find that person, the Golden Fox!

And at this thought, Fang Ze inevitably thought of Miaomiao... Explore stories at empire

If he cooperated with the Security Bureau to catch the "Golden Fox," then his safety would be somewhat guaranteed.

Plus, during the honeymoon phase with the Security Bureau, where they wouldn't heavily guard against him, and with the "map," the escape Divine Artifact in hand...

When the time came, he could completely break out of the encirclement and return to Qingshan City, where, after disguising his identity, he could go and rescue Miaomiao.

Now that he had One Two Three, although he was no match against the organization in terms of strength, he should be overwhelmingly powerful against the Awakeners from those gangs.

In this case, he could resolve both dangers at once!

Realizing this, Fang Ze felt the whole plan was falling into place...

......

After going through his plan several times in his mind and making sure there were no issues, Fang Ze didn't delay.

He took the Qingfeng Seed and some water, and under the moonlight, he left the cave with the Tree People One Two Three and found an open space.

He wandered around the open space a few times, found a soft spot, and instructed One Two Three to dig a hole, where he planted the Qingfeng Seed...

Poured over a cup of water.

Fang Ze and One Two Three sat, their figures large and small squatting side by side, under the moon's light, patiently waiting for the seed to germinate.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.....

One Two Three yawned.

Fang Ze shot it a glance and then belatedly came to a sudden realization: the damn seed's directions mentioned the planting steps but didn't specify the growing cycle!

If this damn thing took 100 years to germinate, 100 years to sprout, and 100 years to bloom, wouldn't that wear him out!

And even without a 100-year cycle, if it followed the typical cycle of plants, taking several days, that wouldn't be fast enough either!

By that time, whether it was him or Miaomiao, they'd probably have been long since thrown into the river to feed the fish!

And just as Fang Ze was getting anxious about the seed germinating.

Suddenly...a breeze blew through the night.

Something magical happened.

In the freshly turned soil, a tiny sprout with a transparent green glow suddenly broke through the ground with the wind...

The small sprout had two leaves, resembling common weeds.

The vitality of this plant was as strong and tenacious as that of weeds. Despite the lack of fertilizer, it swelled as it faced the wind.

After several more gusts of night wind, it had grown as tall as Little Grass.

Then, amidst the gentle breezes, it budded and bloomed, unveiling its beauty.

Looking at the Windbreeze Flower in front of him, Fang Ze was a bit stunned.

It was a flower made entirely of air currents, resembling two plump balls, somewhat like dandelions, somewhat like ice cream...

The two air-formed spheres shimmered with faint light, twinkling nonstop, as if with a gust of wind, they would drift away.

Fang Ze gently placed his hand on it, and it felt as though tiny sharp breezes were licking his palm.

He gently shook the little flower, and immediately two gentle gusts of wind encircled him cheerfully, dispelling the muggy heat of the summer night.

"Truly amazing..."

"To think that 'wind' has actually been grown."

Perhaps seeing Fang Ze enjoy himself, One Two Three also curiously touched the Windbreeze Flower.

Instantly, two gentle breezes also began to whirl around it.

Its round eyes widened with curiosity, as it reached out to catch the wind beside it, but the wind, as if sentient, flew around, eluding its grasp.

So, it started to spin around by itself, playing as if it were catching butterflies...

Fang Ze glanced at it and then shook his head slightly.

Despite its size, this guy's mentality was like that of a five- or six-year-old child. Definitely not as composed as Stick One and Stick Two...

While internally critiquing, Fang Ze took out the money he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

Then he took the money, placed it on the Windbreeze Flower, and softly instructed, "Go find Bai Ling."

Following Fang Ze's command, the Windbreeze Flower seemed to understand as it swayed briefly. Then a night breeze passed by, and the "wind" from the upper layer of its crown blew away with it towards a distance...

His gaze followed the breeze as it vanished into the expanse of the forest, Fang Ze patiently waited for the "call to connect".....

......

Special Case Team.

A secret base of the Security Bureau.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As the standard Extraordinary Artifact for the Security Bureau's field agents, the secret base is a rather miraculous thing.

With just a few spatial nodes set up, the secret base can be erected.

And within the secret base, there are all the usual facilities and tools used by the Security Bureau squads when they are on the move, to facilitate the commissioners in their fieldwork.

Of course, the living quarters are part of it too.

Compared to the simple temporary dwellings of the investigators, the Security Bureau's field accommodations are much more luxurious.

Not only are the spaces spacious, but each one is a single room, and even the beds are comfortable palm beds.

At this moment, in a dormitory inside the secret base, Bai Ling was dressed in a bear pajama suit, lying on her palm bed in the shape of a "big" character.

The blanket had been kicked to one side, covering only half of her body.

At her feet lay a copy of "101 Ways to Do Business."

While she was sleeping sweetly, suddenly, a breeze swept into her room.

The breeze, as if alive, spiraled in the room for a while, then began to circle around Bai Ling and fly.

In her sleep, Bai Ling seemed to feel the breeze, involuntarily grabbing her blanket, turning over in a daze, wrapping herself up to continue sleeping.

The little breeze circled in front of her, appearing a bit "angry," then it snuck through a gap in the blanket and started shuttling back and forth inside, "harassing" Bai Ling.

Bai Ling, still not waking up, found it buzzing around her nose and ears incessantly.

Tickled in the nose.

"Ah... Achoo!" Bai Ling couldn't help sneezing and then rubbing her sleepy eyes, she got up somewhat groggily.

Then... she saw the swirling breeze in front of her.

She paused for a moment.

Then her eyes widened.

"Windbreeze Flower?"

"Is it really a Windbreeze Flower?!"

She clearly recognized the breeze before her, and surprise spread across her face, "This stuff is valuable! Who's using such a lavish thing to contact me?"

"Wasn't it just easy to tell me, and I'd have come running over?"

Just as she thought this.

The breeze in front of her slowly morphed into a semi-transparent head.

The head, looking a bit puzzled, scratched its head, then tentatively spoke out, "Chief Bai Ling? Can you hear me talking?"

Seeing the familiar head before her, Bai Ling was taken aback.

After a moment, she said with a hint of disbelief, "Fang Ze? Is it you?"
