Chapter 488 Disbandment of the Department of Extraordinary Investigations
Chapter 488 Disbandment of the Department of Extraordinary Investigations
Wan Qijingyan immediately issued a notice to thoroughly investigate the matter.
It would have been better if they hadn't investigated; the investigation shocked everyone.
The Department of Extraordinary Observations was established by the Heavenly Rank Family. It had already been established long before Wanqi Jingyan took control of the empire.
Everyone has always believed that the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Investigations is the real deal, capturing and investigating extraterrestrial souls that threaten the Empire.
But we never expected the Surveillance Department to be so bold.
The data released by Wanqi Jingyan regarding the personnel arrested by the Surveillance Department showed nothing unusual on the surface; at most, they were just a little more talented.
What the masses can see, Wanqi Jingyan can naturally see as well.
Eighty percent of the cultivators arrested by the Department of Extraordinary Investigations over the years, whether openly or covertly, are innocent. Further investigation is needed.
These monks had offended or were adversaries.
Too many things are involved.
Wanqi Jingyan did not release the remaining data, but took the opportunity to suppress the Tianjie family.
Five prominent families.
Rui, Bai, Linghu, Lin, Wenren.
As a result, the Rui and Lin families, two of the five surnames, were severely exploited by Wanqi Jingyan.
The Bureau of Investigation was completely disbanded, and all the officials who should have been executed were executed, and those who should have been sentenced were sent to prison.
Wanqi Jingyan established a new department called the Interdimensional Communication Department.
Unlike the Department of Otherworldly Observation, the Department of Otherworldly Exchange only targets cultivators who have been possessed or are detrimental to the Empire. As for those who have transmigrated normally or been reborn, they can register at the Department of Otherworldly Exchange. Cultivators who possess information beneficial to the Empire can obtain resources through their prophecy.
Wan Qijingyan's actions have been praised and recognized by many netizens.
The ugly true nature of the Yichabu was also exposed.
For a time, everyone in the Bureau of Surveillance was against them.
As for the cultivators who were once imprisoned in the Department of Extraordinary Observations, most of them were released without charge.
Including Yi Wancheng.
"Hey, wake up."
When the cultivator Yu Mi, who was on business at the prison of the Department of Strange Investigations, opened the well cell, a stench of fish immediately hit him.
This was a deep well, and also a special prison that restricted spiritual energy. Yu Mi didn't know how to break the restriction on spiritual energy, so she simply threw down a rope and climbed up the well wall. When she was almost at the bottom of the well, she stopped.
The water level at the bottom of the well is high enough to submerge an adult monk up to his waist.
The water was mixed with monster corpses, blood foam, unidentified flocculent matter, and even a few monster snakes coiled in the corner.
Yu Mi looked worriedly at the monk who had fallen against the wall.
Her face was still unclear, but blood was still gushing from her body, and large and small wounds above her waist were exposed to Yu Mi's view.
Yu Mi's pupils dilated, and he momentarily thought the female cultivator in front of him was dead.
"Hey, wake up."
Seeing that Yi Wancheng was not moving, Yu Mi simply reached out to check Yi Wancheng's breathing.
Unexpectedly, Yi Wancheng, who had been looking down, suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed Yu Mi.
Yi Wancheng's cultivation level was not high, but she was very strong. Even Yu Mi, who was at the Golden Core stage, was pulled over by her.
Yi Wancheng's methods were rough and crude, and Yu Mi could also see Yi Wancheng's hostility towards her. She quickly spoke up:
"I'm not from the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations, really."
Upon hearing this, Yi Wancheng paused, then withdrew her arm.
Yu Mi: "But you can hold my hand. Do you have the strength? I'll take you up."
Yi Wancheng did not utter a single word throughout the entire process.
Although Yu Mi found it strange, she still reached out her hand:
"The Department of Extraordinary Investigations has been thoroughly investigated. People who were locked up in the prison are being taken out one after another. You are innocent. I took a look and they said you are a transmigrator, right? There are several types of transmigrators, including those who transmigrate to other worlds, those who transmigrate into books, and others. Which one are you?"
Oh, by the way, if you knew about the future of our world from your original world, you could submit your information to our Interdimensional Communication Department. If the department deemed it valuable, they would reward you with a large amount of spirit stones.
Yu Mi kept talking to Yi Wancheng.
Yi Wancheng followed Yu Mi up from the prison.
Only then did Yu Mi truly see the appearance of the female cultivator in front of him.
Yi Wancheng's body is covered with various wounds, including branding marks and pits left by monster bites. His palm was pierced by a monster's claws and has not yet healed.
As for why Yu Mi knew...
When Yu Mi touched the remnants of the demonic claw on Yi Wancheng's hand, she quickly stuffed a few pills into Yi Wancheng's mouth:
"Eat first. I told you I'm not from the Surveillance Department, you'll be fine."
Yi Wancheng remained silent throughout, following Yu Mi out in silence. Only when she left the Surveillance Department and saw the sunlight outside did she lower her guard somewhat.
Is the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations really gone?
As Yi Wancheng thought this, she raised her hand to block the glaring sunlight. Since entering the Department of Extraordinary Investigations, she had been in a dark and damp environment, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she suddenly encountered light.
After Yi Wancheng saw Yu Mi's documents, she lowered her guard a little.
Yu Mi was able to feed the pills to Yi Wancheng.
Her hands trembled slightly as she stared blankly at Yi Wancheng.
In the sunlight, Yu Mi could clearly see the severed tongue in Yi Wancheng's mouth.
Yu Mixin felt a chill run down her spine. She had never experienced any major disasters since childhood, but seeing Yi Wancheng's mutilated tongue, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Yu Mi was talkative, so she dragged the medical pod over:
"Damn it, the Surveillance Department is such a cruel bunch of executioners! You should lie down and get some treatment first. I'll apply for other treatment expenses for you later."
Don't worry, it will be alright. Science and technology are so advanced now. I remember the hospital had a lifelike mechanical tongue that could be connected to nerves, and it could still speak.
Yu Mi comforted Yi Wancheng, but as she spoke, Yi Wancheng remained expressionless, while Yu Mi burst into tears first.
"Jiang He died, but not in vain. She would be happy to know that she indirectly saved you."
Yu Mi seemed to be thinking of something, and tears welled up in her eyes that she couldn't stop.
When Yi Wancheng heard who had saved them, she turned her head and wrote down the name.
The mistreatment of cultivators by the Department of Extraordinary Investigations has been exposed again, and netizens are once again outraged upon seeing the appearance of the cultivators who have been rescued.
It was precisely because of this anger that many netizens dug up the powerful families behind the Bureau of Surveillance: the Rui family and the Lin family.
This incident made it seem that Wanqi Jingyan's handling of the situation was just right.
-
Jiang He's coffin was placed in the Jiang family's residence.
When Jiang Shu learned of this news, her hand holding the cup was unsteady.
The Jiang family had mistreated Jiang He from the beginning, so the subsequent compensation was not necessary for Jiang He.
Jiang Shu knew that Jiang He had no feelings for the Jiang family, so she tried her best to help him and also wanted to save face in terms of public opinion.
But now, upon learning of Jiang He's passing, Jiang Shu was undoubtedly shocked.
She had met Jiang He a few times and knew her granddaughter's temperament.
Jiang He rarely takes risks.
Jiang Shu paused for a moment. Ultimately, it was because their Jiang family's background was inferior to other families. If the Jiang family were a Heavenly Rank family...
Hehe won't die, will she?
The entire Jiang family home was adorned with white ceremonial plaques.
Within the Wanjue Academy, people were also mourning.
The campus forum interface was changed to gray by the administrator long ago, and even the posts for chatting and having fun have decreased significantly.
Many of Jiang He's students were kind to him.
It wasn't a life-saving grace, but a helping hand and instruction.
Jiang He's strategy post is still posted on the forum, and the cultivators of the Planting Academy have been attending the course for an entire semester.
If Jiang He hadn't taught them the spiritual recipes, they naturally wouldn't have been able to learn how to make spiritual food.
How can this not be considered a kind of opportunity in disguise?
After Jiang He's death, many cultivators felt particularly heavy-hearted.
Kong Ji and Wan Qi Ziye were among the last to find out.
At that time, they were in the Third Army.
The number of S-class monsters has increased, and even the Third Army has started using academy monks.
After killing monsters for a month, Kong Ji finally had a chance to rest when he suddenly saw the trending topic about Jiang He's death.
The prayer beads in his hand fell to the ground, and the string holding the beads had been torn off at some point.
He and she didn't have much interaction, but he always remembered the person's features.
Kongji didn't even know what was on his mind.
Perhaps we'll never see that monk with the red headband again...
Kongji bent down to pick up the fallen prayer beads, which were covered with two lines of water.
