**Chapter 215: A Nod of Understanding (Bubble-Blowing Sponge +1)**
When Chen Huai'an took out the Yang Hun Mirror, he was already back in reality.
After all, he only had the necessary medium props here—tea bags and pillowcases.
He placed the Yang Hun Mirror on the pillowcase, and the surface rippled like water, revealing a faint shadow of Li Qingran moving within. A hand was holding Li Qingran’s, and judging by the bracelet on the wrist, it was clearly that girl, Yue Qianchi. Beyond that, everything else was shrouded in mist.
“Yue Qianchi is quite something.”
Chen Huai'an felt a sense of relief. He hadn’t demanded that Yue Qianchi protect Li Qingran; it was entirely her own initiative. Just this alone justified the resources he had invested in the Sword Pavilion.
He was already satisfied to catch a glimpse of Li Qingran’s general condition.
After all, even the celestial mechanics couldn’t predict the specifics of the secret realm, so this mirror had done its best.
From what he could see, Li Qingran seemed to be in good shape.
He took out a tea bag made from a belly wrap and hung it on the mirror before stepping out of his private room.
The survival rate was known to fluctuate. Although it was currently on the rise, he still had to consider the possibility of a downturn.
So no matter what, he needed to keep the Yang Hun Mirror on him, just in case.
The No. 0 containment facility was eerily quiet.
Ba Ji, Xiao Qing, Strawberry Bear, and Shrimp King were all gathered around the Jiu Zhuan Ling Lan, seemingly in meditation, completely unaware of his exit from the room.
It was already night, and Chen Huai'an recalled his earlier request to Zhao Ying not to disturb him under any circumstances.
So he made a public call.
“Governor Chen, you’ve finally come out of seclusion!” Zhao Ying’s voice trembled on the other end, urgency evident in her tone. “Governor Chen, something big has happened! The headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Division was attacked by a powerful evil spirit. Many revivers died inside overnight, and the area around the headquarters is now under lockdown. We’re requesting support from the demon slayers in surrounding provinces!”
“Oh, and then what?”
“And then? Are we in C Province going to provide support? This situation is serious; that evil spirit is strong!”
“What does it matter to us if the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Division is slaughtered?” Chen Huai'an picked his nose and flicked the booger onto the alloy wall.
“Uh…”
Zhao Ying was momentarily speechless.
After a long pause, she hesitantly said, “Well… if the C Province Demon-Slaying Division needs support in the future, what if no one comes to help? Also, some speculate that after the evil spirit finishes off the headquarters, it will go on to slaughter other provinces’ Demon-Slaying Divisions. Many provincial divisions have already sent support.”
“Who made that speculation? It must be the aristocratic families, right?”
“How did you know?”
Chen Huai'an sneered.
How could he not know?
After all, his directive to the Bone China Girl was to kill the aristocrats, specifically those at the military rank of A and above.
Things were different now compared to when the bearded man recruited him into the Demon-Slaying Division; there were now more and more military ranks, especially among the aristocrats.
Moreover, he hadn’t given the Bone China Girl any orders to leave the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Division.
All revivers going to support the headquarters were also following the first rule—kill without mercy anyone with an aristocratic identity card who meets the strength requirements! If the aristocrats don’t spread the word that the Bone China Girl will attack other Demon-Slaying Divisions, those places not yet fully infiltrated by the aristocrats might really just sit back and watch the fight.
They were getting anxious.
As for whether innocents would be harmed?
That was hard to guarantee, but given the current state of luck, killing these aristocrats didn’t seem to be a sin.
“Governor, so are we going to provide support?”
“Sure.” Chen Huai'an glanced at Strawberry Bear and Shrimp King on the windowsill, nodding. “I still need to continue my seclusion, so I can’t go out. However, I’ll have KSC-01 and KSC-02 assist you throughout. I also suggest you don’t send too many demon slayers; our C Province Demon-Slaying Division suffered heavy losses during the Emperor Jiang incident, so it’s wise to send fewer people.”
Hearing that Chen Huai'an wasn’t planning to lead the team, Zhao Ying felt a bit disappointed.
After all, rescuing the headquarters was a significant achievement and would benefit Chen Huai'an’s future promotions.
Though she didn’t like the aristocrats, as a subordinate, she still hoped her superior would rise to greater heights. But then she remembered the terrifying destructive power of KSC-01 and KSC-02; with those two working together, they were at least at the military rank level, which would show the sincerity of their C Province Demon-Slaying Division.
“Okay, Governor Chen, I’ll go get KSC-01 and KSC-02 right now.”
Zhao Ying hung up the phone and instructed Xiang Xiaoyuan to finalize the personnel selection for the mission.
…
“Time to get to work.”
Chen Huai'an patted Strawberry Bear on the shoulder.
Strawberry Bear jumped in fright, quickly standing up, its head nearly hitting the ceiling.
“Wow, you’ve grown!” Chen Huai'an looked up and down at Strawberry Bear, clicking his tongue in amazement.
Strawberry Bear had grown at least two sizes since they first met.
He hadn’t noticed much while it was sleeping all the time, but now that it stood up, the change was obvious.
It was now at least five or six meters tall, standing there like a wall, exuding an overwhelming presence.
“Why are you standing so tall? Get down!”
Strawberry Bear obediently lay down, and with a thud, the entire containment chamber shook.
Chen Huai'an wrapped his arms around Strawberry Bear’s neck and the barrel of Shrimp King’s gun, glancing at them both with a grim expression. “Listen up, you two. Go to the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Division and bring back your colleague, the Bone China Girl. The revivers accompanying you will contain her, and I’ll have her cooperate with the containment. You just keep an eye on things; anyone who dares to interfere will get their head smashed into their chest, and I’ll make sure they regret it!”
With that, he slapped the ‘shoulders’ of the two containment objects. “Got it? Nod if you understand!”
Strawberry Bear nodded its massive head.
Shrimp King bent its gun barrel slightly.
“Very good.” Chen Huai'an released the two trembling containment objects, his expression softening into a friendly and kind demeanor.
“The people coming to get you are on their way. Follow the rules, and don’t harm your colleagues. Otherwise, I’ll smash your heads into your chests… especially you.”
He grabbed Shrimp King’s gun barrel, lifting it up with a grin. “Don’t you dare act like only women can use your rules! From today on, if a man holds you, you better shoot out those bullets without hesitation, or I’ll make sure you regret it!”
A tear fell from the vertical scope of Shrimp King, and the gun barrel bent violently.
The sound of the containment chamber door opening echoed outside.
Chen Huai'an shoved Shrimp King into Strawberry Bear’s hands and pushed the two containment objects out. “Alright, go!”
He then turned and stepped back into his private room—he needed to keep an eye on things.
…
As the pressure door of the containment chamber opened, steam billowed forth.
Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan stood on high alert, a large group of security personnel behind them.
Those were KSC-01 and KSC-02!
The two most mysterious and powerful containment objects in the C Province Demon-Slaying Division, aside from the No. 0 Tyrant.
Some of the security personnel were already trembling.
“Don’t be afraid; these two containment objects have been calmed by the Tyrant and won’t harm us…”
Zhao Ying’s words were abruptly cut off.
Because a massive figure gradually emerged from the mist.
Crimson eyes shot out from its face, radiating a murderous aura.
Everyone held their breath, eyes wide, staring at the two-story-tall giant bear.
“Captain Zhao, they won’t harm us… right?” Xiang Xiaoyuan’s face turned pale, teeth chattering, barely able to stand with a hand against the wall.
“I… I’m not so sure anymore…” Zhao Ying swallowed hard.
The next second.
Boom—!
To demonstrate that it posed no threat.
Strawberry Bear knelt on both knees, planting the Dragon Sniper into the ground, and bowed to Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Then it pulled out two forms from the fluffy pocket on its belly.
