Once, I wanted to be a good person

Fang Ze was pleased by the way the shadow warrior woman obeyed him and stopped.

Now that he was in a predicament, the sudden addition of a helper made him feel much safer.

At the thought of this, he observed her and asked, "Can you understand me when I speak?"

The female shadow warrior said nothing and didn't move.

Fang Ze asked again, "What's your name?"

The shadow warrior said nothing as it continued to stare at Fang Ze.

Fang Ze put a hand to his forehead.

It seemed that her intelligence was indeed limited.

With that in mind, he looked at the huge sword in the shadow warrior's hand and thought for a moment. Then, he remembered the nickname of a hero he used to play with in his previous life.

At that time, when he was controlling that hero, he often learned how to jump into the enemy's crowd and wanted to kill all the enemies. In the end, he often died…

Thinking of that period in his previous life, he couldn't help but flash a nostalgic look.

Thus, when he came back to his senses, he looked at the shadow warrior and said, "From now on, you'll be called Lady Knife."

Lady Knife nodded slowly.

Fang Ze said, "Back to my shadow."

At Fang Ze's command, the Lady Knife's figure blurred and fell to the ground, turning a black mist that merged into Fang Ze's shadow.

Fang Ze took a closer look at his shadow and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

He took a few more steps. There was nothing unusual either.

If he hadn't personally witnessed Lady Knife merging into his shadow, Fang Ze might really have felt that everything was just his imagination…

Fang Ze was in a good mood now that he'd gotten his hands on a disaster creature with decent combat power without much hope.

Therefore, he tidied up the Late-Night Investigation Room and placed the Awakening materials he had bought today on the table. Then, he sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and fell asleep…

…

For a moment, in the real world…

In the temporary residence, Fang Ze opened his eyes on the bed.

He tilted his head cautiously and glanced at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was still asleep, but he was sleeping lightly, as if he would wake up at the slightest sound.

Fang Ze cautiously felt his bed under the blanket.

As expected, the items he had placed in the Late-Night Investigations Room did not return to reality. Instead, they were stored in the Investigation Room.

He raised his head slightly again. The room was dark and full of shadows. He tried to determine where Lady Knife was.

Perhaps Lady Knife had sensed Fang Ze's mood. A dark shape moved slightly in the darkness, as if to remind him that she was there.

Fang Ze was completely relieved.

Then, he signaled for Lady Knife to continue hiding while he propped his hands behind his head and thought about his next plan.

Although he had tested the strength of the shadow warrior in the Late-Night Investigation Room, Fang Ze was still not sure about the exact strength of the shadow warrior because the battle conditions were too tragic.

Coupled with the fact that Lady Knife could not resist extraordinary powers and was one of the weakest disaster creatures, Fang Ze did not dare to rely on Lady Knife to escape.

However, with Lady Knife, at least he had some ability to protect himself when facing ordinary people and ordinary agents.

That was good news.

Now, there was Wang Hao, the "traitor," to solve the case and understand the movements of the task force.

Meanwhile, the girl, Miao Miao, was there to collect materials for awakening abilities.

He also had Lady Knife to protect him and ensure his safety.

Fang Ze felt that his days were looking more and more promising.

He felt that as long as he was given a little more time, he would be able to get out of his current predicament very quickly.

As he thought about it, Fang Ze slowly fell asleep with anticipation for the future…

In the darkness, his shadow stood silently on the wall like a guard, loyal to protect him…

…

…

At the same time, as Fang Ze fell asleep, Bai Zhi was chatting with Bai Ling in the secret space of the Security Bureau.

In front of them were the same surveillance screens.

On the screens was the scene of Fang Ze and Bai Ling in the car…

Bai Zhi crossed her arms over her chest. Under her long eyelashes, her beautiful eyes looked at the image without saying anything.

A moment later, the image skipped forward, but she picked up the remote again and rewound the image.

Just like that, she watched the scene over and over. It made Bai Ling yawn.

A moment later, after Bai Zhi watched the scene for the tenth time, Bai Ling asked sleepily, "Sister Bai, what are you looking at?"

Bai Zhi came to her senses at her words. She glanced at her and said seriously, "I was looking at something that seems wrong."

A question mark appeared above Bai Ling's tiny head. "Something wrong? Where?"

Bai Zhi didn't explain. She just held the remote in her hand and pressed a few buttons.

A moment later, several different images appeared on several screens, then played in turn.

They were the scene of Fang Ze and Bai Ling's first meeting yesterday, the scene of Fang Ze hearing about the holiday yesterday in the canteen, and the scene of Fang Ze's encounter with Bai Ling in the car today respectively.

After the three videos were played, Bai Zhi looked at Bai Ling and asked, "Did you see anything?"

Bai Ling looked at Bai Zhi in confusion. Clearly, she didn't see anything.

Bai Zhi smiled helplessly, then switched to the scene of Fang Ze's first meeting with Bai Ling and replayed it.

On the screen, when Bai Ling appeared, the Commissioner had a smile on his face. Meanwhile, Fang Ze glanced at her, his gaze lingering on her and the pumpkin hammer before he looked away.
