"What's going on? Do you need help?" he asked Zheng Qing, glancing at the car accident in the middle of the road.
Zheng Qing had an S-level "Beast Path" ability and was in charge of dealing with matters that wouldn't be simple.
"A Player from the Corpse Chasing Sect who stole another player's corpse has been caught," Zheng Qing explained.
"Corpse Chasing Sect?" Li Qianxia's eyes revealed curiosity.
"Come over and take a look." Zheng Qing pointed to her chest again, opening the communication with the logistics team.
This time they didn't jump over the barrier; the four of them took a detour, finding the scene cordoned off by police cars and sealed off with isolation tape.
A Player was being held by two members of the Stability Group. Seeing Zheng Qing, he immediately shouted, "Captain Zheng, I really didn't break the law. The corpse lying there is useless, it can still be of use to me!"
"To be honest, I wanted to report this earlier! Why is it that ceramics, lacquer painting, wood carving, and embroidery can be considered traditional culture, protected and even receive funding, while my Corpse Chasing Sect is treated as a deviant cult to be struck down?"
"I beg you to let me go. I've not defaulted on debts, I've not been cruel as a wealthy man, nor have I ever used my abilities to commit any crime. Is taking a corpse also a crime?"
"I just want to survive, but how can my Corpse Chasing Sect live without corpses!"
With tears flowing like fountains, lamenting loudly, sobbing intensely... just hearing his voice was enough to make one's heart sympathize.
"According to the 'Criminal Law' Article 302, theft, insult, or intentional destruction of dead bodies, bones, or ashes are punishable by imprisonment for up to three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance."
The Corpse Chasing Sect Player suddenly fell silent, as if a director had yelled "cut," and stared at Li Changzhou, "Who are you?"
Didn't he know him? Hasn't he seen the live broadcasts of Value Games?
"A law student from the Ming University," Li Changzhou replied.
"Captain Zheng, don't listen to his nonsense. What does an ordinary student know!"
"Take him away," Zheng Qing said to the members of the Stability Group.
Two Players escorted the Corpse Chaser, who struggled so hard his legs lifted off the ground. He twisted his head, yelling, "I protest, I refuse to accept this, I want to see a lawyer! I'm going to appeal to the state; chasing corpses is also a traditional craft! It's a part of Xia Country's culture since ancient times!"
"Don't think I don't know! Those tomb robbers under the protection of the Special Warfare Bureau, disguising themselves as archaeologists! Digging up graves, searching for the past of cultivators, and finding many treasures!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
"You are the ones who are unethical! You should be the ones on trial! I am innocent!"
Li Qianxia watched admiringly as the fellow was stuffed into the police car, completely disappearing from the scene.
Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou showed some interest in the topic of tomb raiding.
"The situation is resolved," Zheng Qing didn't elaborate, "but this road will probably be closed for a few days."
At the scene, two cars were overturned, the ground was full of potholes, and several workers in protective clothing were placing the stolen corpses into body bags.
Yang Qinglan lightly raised her hand, and the shattered stones and asphalt turned into needles and threads, automatically repairing the damaged ground.
Zheng Qing was somewhat surprised; as she understood, Yang Qinglan was not the kind of person who willingly helped others, even if it was just a simple effort. In her impression, Yang Qinglan was more like a detached fairy, disinterested in worldly affairs and not sociable.
Was it because the repair was near the school gate and she didn't want to delay her own travel?
Actually, the reason was simple; Yang Qinglan was in a good mood today—she had a boyfriend now.
"There's one more thing," she repeated the instructions from the logistics team, "regarding the development of Four Seasons Star, the Special Warfare Bureau would like to discuss with you."
It was an unavoidable discussion.
Control over the Divine Crown of Four Seasons Star was in Li Changzhou's hands. Without his permission and some solid promises, the Special Warfare Bureau wouldn't invest resources and energy in Four Seasons Star.
Li Changzhou had not thought about this; his mind was full of Yang Qinglan.
After a moment's consideration, he said, "Tomorrow night at this time, come to Qing Lan Bookstore."
During the day tomorrow, Li Changzhou planned to upgrade his skills using all the savings he had accumulated as well as the income from live streaming.
The Special Warfare Bureau almost instantly got the message, and Zhang Ligong, known for his flattery, was the first to be selected for the negotiation team—even if past issues were wiped clean, they had to plan for the future.
