Chapter 705: Chapter 706 Assistance in Handling_1

"Sea God?"

Liao Yu asked cautiously, as he couldn’t help it. Delong Tower and other Divine Beasts were different, its notorious reputation made it truly frightening. Delong Tower glanced at Liao Yu and said calmly,

"If you don’t want to cause a major chaos, it’s best not to let too many people know my true identity."

"Pfft, those children of the sea have seen you before."

Gitalien said disdainfully, while Lorraine Tower looked at Feng Yuan with a complex expression. Unlike Gitalien, it could sense the power of changing time.

Together with their past interactions with Delong Tower, which showed little concern for human society, the appearance of the sea’s children and Delong Tower’s human form must be related to Feng Yuan.

"Is there a problem?"

"What problem?"

Feng Yuan looked at Lorraine Tower with some confusion, not understanding what this sudden question meant. Lorraine Tower did not elaborate but instead, an illusory shadow of a clock appeared in its hand.

"It’s nothing, I’ve been in control and haven’t caused too much impact, and Agunas is watching over it, isn’t he?"

"Just be careful yourself, I believe you are more aware of the consequences than I am."

"Right, take us to find Captain Yan."

Feng Yuan said and turned to Liao Yu, who, perplexed, asked in astonishment,

"Why are we looking for him?"

"Arranging identities, of course. If we act like this, do you believe that by tomorrow Maomu City will be busier than Shangjing during a major event?"

Considering the terrifying scenario, Liao Yu broke into a cold sweat and quickly said,

"Okay!"

"Really..."

Watching Feng Yuan and others leave, Captain Yan rubbed his temples and murmured in a headache-induced tone. While the three Divine Beasts could help them quickly resolve many pending cases, it would only lead to more trouble if their existence was discovered. At the very least, what Feng Yuan mentioned would certainly occur.

"No one would think, would they? This form of the Sea God has also never been seen before by humans, right?"

A capable-looking woman next to him offered Captain Yan a cup of tea and said,

"Even the most revitalizing tea has its limits; you should rest for a day."

"That’s not possible, everyone else is busy, how could I rest by myself?"

The woman sighed and said helplessly,

"But if this continues, not only will your body not be able to withstand it, your mind will also be affected."

"It’s okay, I’ll just take a break for a while. Let’s do this, wake me up in six hours, and don’t you dare secretly extend it!"

Captain Yan warned as if remembering something, and the woman reluctantly agreed,

"Yes, yes, I’ll wake you in six hours."

"But on the other hand, they can’t really send more manpower, can they?"

"I’m afraid not, it’s not just us; there’s a nationwide staffing shortage."

"For real?!"

The woman said seriously, and after thinking, Captain Yan said,

"I’m not sure, but the likelihood isn’t small."

"Really..."

The woman sighed and as if remembering something said,

"Then, is it possible to ask him..."

"No, once he gets involved, the situation will be completely out of control."

Understanding the woman’s idea, Captain Yan warned sternly, and then waved his hand and said,

"You should take a break too, after being busy for so long, you must be tired, right?"

"I’m alright, although I foresaw this..."

The woman sighed with a hint of resignation as she left Captain Yan’s office. Before leaving, she deliberately went to the window and drew the curtains closed, knowing very well that, after doing so, he would quickly fall asleep.

"You’re coming with me?"

Liao Yu was somewhat surprised, Feng Yuan glanced at the document in his hand and said,

"What else? It would only be a waste of strength to go with them; each one of them can easily handle most of the cases, right?"

"But..."

"Or are you saying you want me to go off on my own while you hide in the office and rest?"

"Haha... that... uh... you guessed it..."

Liao Yu said somewhat sheepishly, looking at Liao Yu, Feng Yuan replied,

"If you’re not afraid of me causing an accident, you can go back to rest, or do you want Huo Feng to come help?"

He didn’t ask for Ye Hanlei because she could go on missions alone. At least during this time of staff shortage, she, Liao Yu and Huo Feng were working separately; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to keep up, though they still couldn’t finish everything.

"He just went to rest..."

Liao Yu whispered an explanation

"We’ve been busy from last night until just now. I had some time to rest before, but he, for some reason, took it particularly to heart, so..."

"Workaholic tendencies acting up?"

"I don’t know."

"Okay, give me the car, and you go take a rest."

Liao Yu wordlessly looked at Feng Yuan and said

"Driving without a license is a serious crime!"

"I believe no one would check a special service team’s car, right?"

"That’s still not allowed!"

"Alright then..."

Just as Liao Yu was nervously wondering what trouble Feng Yuan might stir up next, the latter glanced at Agunas and said

"Then let’s just open a gate, it’s faster than driving anyway~"

Seeing Feng Yuan enter the Space Gate opened by Agunas, Liao Yu thought for a moment and then decided to give up on rest and follow through. After all, the beings from Lorraine Tower were comparatively stable; it was unlikely for them to cause any major trouble, but with Feng Yuan, it was hard to say.

That guy was too whimsical; who knew what he would do without supervision.

"What’s this? Congratulations."

While buying milk tea, Feng Yuan turned around upon hearing the voice and saw Ye Hanlei observing him. Noting the dark circles under her eyes, Feng Yuan pointed at her, puzzled, and said

"What’s up with that situation?"

"Can’t help it, I’ve been too busy lately. Are you here now... to help out?"

Ye Hanlei spoke with a note of surprise upon noticing Feng Yuan’s uniform, thinking that in terms of efficiency, Feng Yuan was the fastest. Having him around meant that cases wouldn’t pile up and go unhandled.

"I just happened to be free today, so I thought I’d lend a hand since you all are working so hard."

"You really can’t teach that trick? ...Oh, you’re here too..."

Liao Yu, who had just walked up, finally saw Ye Hanlei being blocked by Feng Yuan. With slightly flushed cheeks, Liao Yu said a bit embarrassingly, and Ye Hanlei, somewhat puzzled, said

"Didn’t you say you were going to rest?"

"Well, that was before following him. You know how it is..."

Liao Yu said helplessly, and Ye Hanlei laughed and said

"Actually, it’s quite nice, at least you can get some more rest for the next few days."

"It’s more than that..."

With a complex expression, Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan. It was only today that he realized how terrifying that guy could be when serious; his previous behavior was merely to help them improve their abilities.

"Is there a problem?"

Ye Hanlei also noticed something off about Liao Yu’s expression. Just then, the milk tea was ready, and Feng Yuan took a cup, handed it to Xiao Ji on his head, and held another cup of milk tea, saying

"Drinks taken care of~ Let’s continue~"

"You’ll know if you just follow and watch..."

Liao Yu hesitated and then spoke. He felt explaining was too troublesome; at Feng Yuan’s pace, everything would likely be settled quickly and he might even be able to help Ye Hanlei with some tasks.

"That’s really something..."

"Agunas’s ability, nothing to do with me."

Feng Yuan said innocently, while Liao Yu sighed and moved forward to carefully collect the evidence and such that had been marked by the glow. Indeed, in those investigations that called for evidence and clues, what Feng Yuan had to do was simply walk over and let Agunas flip through his book.

Then all the related evidence and clues would be marked by the glow, and there would even be screens explaining them, as if leading you through clues in a puzzle game straight to the conclusion.

Drinking his milk tea, Feng Yuan watched Liao Yu busily at work. Although Agunas could directly collect all the evidence and clues, his partner believed it would make writing the report afterwards troublesome. Since his partner wanted to personally collect those items, Feng Yuan naturally didn’t say more.

After watching for a while, Ye Hanlei prepared to leave. Feng Yuan called out to Ye Hanlei, who was about to go,

"Give me the tasks I can help with on your end."

After a moment of silence, Ye Hanlei said,

"Thanks."

"No problem, I’m not busy anyway~"

Feng Yuan said with a smile, and Agunas remarked, not pleased,

"All the work is being done by me; you’re just here to enjoy the show."

"That’s not my fault, you know how limited my power is to summon."

Agunas sighed and said,

"Still, why has the impact been so great?"

"You don’t know what happened?"

"I know... but... why at this time..."

Gazing at the sky, Feng Yuan said in a low voice,

"They believe it’s their opportunity."
