Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

Lintang City.

On the bus, Zhou Ping and Jiang Ye, along with five others, headed to the detective agency of Squad 08.

Jiang Ye and Zhou Ping sat together, chatting and laughing occasionally, while working on their progress towards becoming Nascent Soul cultivators.

For some reason, the further along the journey went, the slower Zhou Ping's progress towards becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator became.

It's only increased by 3% in the last few days.

Jiang Ye looked at the panel and saw that the progress of his Nascent Soul transformation was 85%/100%, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

It seems that ordinary tricks can no longer make Zhou Ping smile with joy.

After all, people adapt and become immune to it if they consume too much of it.

We can only wait and see how they perform against the other teams. As teachers, we all hope our students will achieve something.

As long as Lin Qiye and his group win, Zhou Ping will be genuinely happy, and his progress in the Nascent Soul stage will increase.

As for the Underworld God Altar in Lin Tang, he did not intend to interfere, since it was Zhou Ping's opportunity to comprehend the laws.

Having a divine body but lacking the laws of nature means you can't change anything.

While Jiang Ye was pondering, Lin Qiye, who was sitting with Jialan, glanced at him, pursed his lips, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"By the way, Sword Saint, have you discussed with Team 08 how to fight? We only have five people."

At this moment, Baili Pangpang, who was in the front row, straightened up and asked Zhou Ping in the back seat.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping clenched his fists involuntarily. "No...no discussion. They will contribute as many people as you provide. That's my plan."

Upon hearing this, the car fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhou Ping with surprise.

Zhou Ping's palms clenched again, slightly sweating.

But because Jiang Ye has been making him laugh in all sorts of ways over the past month and a half, at least he's stopped scratching his toes on the soles of his feet.

"So, Team 08 doesn't know we're going to challenge them?" Lin Qiye said awkwardly.

Zhou Ping nodded, "That's how it is..."

"Then what's the difference between us and bandits and robbers?" Baili Pangpang asked in surprise.

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses. "The difference is that we only hit people, we don't take anything."

Lin Qiye thought for a moment, "Then, Senior Sword Saint, why don't you step forward and discuss this with Team 08?"

"..." Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, "But I don't know how to say it..."

Everyone: "..."

Oh, I forgot, the Sword Saint is a severe social phobia.

Jiang Ye looked at the silent group, smiled slightly, and said, "Senior Sword Saint, you just need to write a letter."

write a letter?

Lin Qiye and the others' eyes lit up.

Zhou Ping looked at the others, a look of fear appearing on his face.

……

(Just a quick correction here, I made a mistake earlier: the leader of the 08 Night Watchers squad is Wuliangjing, the rest are Haijing, and Jiang Er only recently graduated from the Chijing level.)

An hour later, at the Lintang City Detective Agency.

A man wearing a dark red cloak entered the office and put down the black box.

"How is it, Captain?" the woman asked, looking at a copy of Sherlock Holmes.

Team leader Li Hong shook her head. "I don't know what's going on lately. There hasn't been a single mysterious incident in a month and a half. I don't know where those mysteries have gone."

The woman frowned. "Something's strange. Although Lintang City isn't big, there's an average of one mysterious incident every week."

"Captain, could it be related to what happened last time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "Maybe. The Night Watch's higher-ups are already investigating, so let's not worry about it."

The other team members nodded to Jiang Er, mainly because they had been too idle for the past month and a half and were starting to feel uneasy.

Li Hong sat down in her chair, picked up a mystery novel, and looked at Jiang Er in the corner.

"By the way, Jiang Er, the Night Watch's higher-ups want to recommend you to the fifth special team. They'll be here soon..."

Boom boom boom!

Just as we were talking about the fifth special team, there was a knock on the door.

The staff at the firm paused, and after what happened last time, they were very wary of any knocking.

Li Hong's eyes narrowed, she grabbed the black box beside her and walked out.

But when Squad 08 rushed out the door, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Several smoke grenades were thrown not far from the entrance of the firm, and thick smoke slowly rose, quickly obscuring their vision.

Squad 08's expressions were solemn as they drew their Star Blades from the black box, ready for battle.

But the next second, they were dumbfounded.

Amidst the thick white smoke, six men wearing different bandit hoods strode in imposingly, each clutching a smoke bomb that emitted white smoke...

Jiang Ye, who was at the very front, had his face covered with a black cloth and wore sunglasses; his lips were twitching.

Behind them, Lin Qiye wore a leopard mask, while Baili Pangpang stood with his hands on his hips, wearing a Pikachu mask and looking very proud.

Cao Yuan, on one side, wore a clown mask and held two pistols...

He looks like a ruthless thug who just came from military training at some medical school.

"Fatty, who can't tell we're here to rob you?" Lin Qiye said, somewhat speechless.

Baili Pangpang chuckled, "Since we're going to fight anyway, isn't this more intimidating?"

Lin Qiye: “…”

Jiang Ye also had mixed feelings. To be honest, it wasn't even as good as the Journey to the West-themed mask in the original work.

"What are you trying to do?" Li Hong asked, her face darkening as she watched the child's antics. "Robbery?"

Baili Pangpang chuckled, pulled a piece of white paper from his pocket, and strutted with what he thought was a very cool gait.

He walked up to Li Hong and handed it over.

Li Hong frowned slightly, then took the document and opened it.

"Hello, you foolish 008 squad members."

Your office is surrounded. If you want to survive, send five team members to fight us. Don't try to resist or ask the higher-ups for help; they won't help you..."

The air of killing and ruthlessness leaps from the words.

Li Hong raised an eyebrow and looked at the six men dressed as ruthless bandits. "You're here to take on the challenge? Oh, I remember now, you're the reserve team for the fifth special squad, right?"

"Commander Ye spoke to me and asked me to recommend a team member to you."

?

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Baili Pangpang's face twitched. Turns out, they know each other!

"Retreat, retreat, retreat." Jiang Ye waved his hand, silently removing his sunglasses and black cloth. Lin Qiye and the others also removed their disguises.

We already know each other, so there's no need to pretend anymore, otherwise it would seem silly... no, it already seems silly right now.

As the white smoke dissipated, Jiang Ye and the other six removed their headgear.

The girl in the skirt standing at the back of the line blushed when she saw An Qingyu take off her mask, revealing her refined face.

"Captain Li, hello, I am Lin Qiye, the captain of the fifth reserve team. Who is the team member you mentioned?" Lin Qiye stepped forward and asked.

Baili Pangpang and the others also cast curious glances at Li Hong.

“You all know her.” Li Hong stepped aside, and the other team members also stepped aside.

know?

Lin Qiye and the others looked on with even greater curiosity.

A young girl in a white dress stood there with her head down and her face slightly flushed, looking quite embarrassed.

But Lin Qiye recognized the girl the moment he saw her!

Jiang Er!
