The merry loot had only just ended when the patients crowding the corridors scattered in terror, not daring to linger any longer. Then came the clamor of footsteps, like a downpour, rushing in haste.

One after another, the doctors with stiff expressions emerged from the shadows, and at the forefront was Director Qian, his features twisted in ferocity, sutures bursting, blood slowly oozing out, his smile nowhere to be seen.

"What's going on?"

Black pupils scanned all present, settling on the grisly scene in the office, "What happened? How did such a big accident occur again?!"

"I don't know."

Ji Jue shook his head, deeply pondering, and concluded, "Maybe it was the illegal use of electronics? Perhaps a microwave exploded?"

Director Qian suddenly drew near.

Without warning, close at hand.

A pair of hollow eyes stared dead at Ji Jue, holding up half of a broken skull: "Wasn't he just by your side?"

"Yes."

Ji Jue nodded, "Everything was fine when I stepped out, you have to testify for me, Director Qian.

The result, just after I had checked the rooms and returned, I saw very precious personal belongings gone from the office. That's why I hurried over, wanting to get a clear understanding...

Ah, it's hard to know people's hearts, who knew he was such a person?"

Saying so, Ji Jue bent down, in front of everyone, and picked up a Blessed Creation, slipping it into his pocket. Amid the cold stares from countless eyes, he sighed with a look of regret.

Afterwards, Director Qian turned back to look at Xie Lan:

"And you?"

"I came to help."

Xie Lan smiled innocently, "Living harmoniously, one loving family. The hospital is a big family; how could I stand by when a colleague is in trouble?

Unfortunately, everyone's injuries were too severe. None could survive, which is very regrettable."

"Is that so?" asked Director Qian.

"Absolutely."

Both nodded in unison, without hesitation.

Then came the sound of chewing, so crisp, the shattered bones and flesh on the ground as if being devoured by an unseen maw, disappeared without a trace.

Following that, accompanied by the wails of residual spirits in the air, the originally damaged walls rapidly shrank and closed.

As if some invisible leviathan were slowly healing.

"Having love for one another is good. Keep it up, but don't forget your duties."

Director Qian turned his head for the last time, looking at them and suddenly smiled, "The hospital will probably be very busy for a while, you all have to work hard."

One after another, the bizarre, rigid figures disappeared into the corridor.

Director Qian, walking last, stretched out his hand and finally patted Ji Jue's shoulder.

Leaving behind a lingering chill.

From beginning to end, Ji Jue smiled, watching them depart.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't do it in front of them, they won't care."

Xie Lan said, "Causing such a big commotion this time, it's probably because the work area was damaged, right? Don't get caught, or you'll get a demerit and be fired."

"I'll be careful."

Ji Jue smiled, nodding his head, "Next time I'm free, I would like to exchange experiences with Doctor Xie."

"Forget it, I'm just a researcher." Xie Lan shook his head, his admiration tinged with awe, "To be able to strike so mercilessly, so swiftly, is terrifying indeed."

"Is it?"

Ji Jue looked puzzled, "To deal with bad people, you should strike hard, right? Are you a bad person?"

"I am not." Xie Lan shook his head firmly.

"What a coincidence, neither am I."

Ji Jue chuckled, waving goodbye, "I'm just a passing Justice Envoy."

And so, he watched Ji Jue's figure disappear into the darkness.

A sneaky rat crawled out from under Xie Lan's collar, and for some reason, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Damn, does the Security Bureau now recruit so wildly?"

"It's not related to the Security Bureau."

Xie Lan stared in the direction where he vanished, slightly shaking his head, "That guy is an anomaly even in Cliff City. Would you dare to get involved in the election during the Summoning Stage? The Lou Family has taken a big hit because of him.

If they said he was a lover of peace, gentle and kind-hearted, would you believe it?"

Speaking thus, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "Let's watch, the Evil Cult has provoked someone truly formidable."

.

.

"I'm back from messing around."

Ji Jue whistled, carrying the Ghost Fetus back to the office as if he was carrying a pet.

With a simple pat on the Ghost Fetus's butt, the wretched thing cooperatively opened its mouth, spitting out piles upon piles of multicolored alchemy works, forming a small mountain.

Most of them were crudely made and not worth a second glance. Among them, there were several blessed works, which was a pity. The Evil Cult lot must have dug them up from who knows which grave, full of backdoors and traps that were scary.

Some would cause you to lose more than half your blood after just one use, while others would curse you if used too often, necessitating their destruction to feed the Mechanical Descent. This finally allowed the [2] on the dial to be completely filled up, just shy of the mark, with Ji Jue already possessing a blessing and about to smoothly enter the final stage of the Summoning Stage.

Best to make time soon to expand the Spiritual Cage; with such a multitude of spiritual substances, it won't be long before the makeshift container bursts at the seams.

Mechanical Descent was already an ability that consumed a lot of spiritual substance; even with his own and his cousin's reserves, Ji Jue still felt insufficient.

A reserve that can replace one's own spiritual substance to supply other areas of consumption was naturally better the more there was.

Moreover, with so many spiritual substances and materials...
