Chapter 238 Bing belongs to Hai, Li Zhi
Li Zhi slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at Shen Lie in front of him.
Shen Lie's face turned slightly pale, and his originally cold and resolute face now showed a hint of fatigue. Li Zhi immediately understood that in just a short while, Shen Lie had consumed a huge amount of energy.
It seems that in order to confirm whether the Fantasy World Tree exists in Leizhou, Shen Lie paid a considerable price.
Shen Lie noticed Li Zhi's gaze. He raised his head slightly, his expression still serious, and said to Li Zhi in a deep voice: "I have branded a special mark on you. This mark will trigger the connection between your body and the Fantasy World Tree. From today on, you will walk around Leizhou and investigate carefully to see if there is any trace of the Fantasy World Tree in Leizhou."
After listening to this, Li Zhi silently sensed it and felt a slight heat in his chest. He knew that this was the mark that Shen Lie mentioned. He nodded, and then asked with a little doubt: "Then should I go alone?"
Li Zhike still remembered what Shen Lie had said just now. He could sense the existence of the Fantasy World Tree with the help of that magic, but conversely, the Fantasy World Tree could also sense him.
If I go to Leizhou alone, it would be as dangerous as delivering food to the enemy. If I am not careful, I will probably end up in an irretrievable situation.
Shen Lie seemed to have expected Li Zhi to ask this question. He replied calmly, "Don't worry, I will arrange for a madman to follow you. With him by your side, you will have no worries about your safety."
When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes could not help but flicker slightly. Although he had been with Cheng Fengzi for some time, he was not particularly clear about Cheng Fengzi's strength.
He just had a vague feeling in his heart that Cheng Fengzi's strength should not be much worse than that of the broken gun and rusty knife. But he actually had no idea how strong Cheng Fengzi was.
Seeing that Shen Lie had only arranged Cheng Fengzi to follow him, it seemed that Shen Lie had great confidence in Cheng Fengzi's ability. He believed that Cheng Fengzi must have some extraordinary qualities, but he just hadn't fully understood them yet.
"Here, this is for you." Just as Li Zhi was thinking secretly, Shen Lie said as he slowly took out a token from his arms and handed it to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi quickly reached out to take it, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a token of the Night Patrol Department.
One side of the token is carved with a strange-looking beast. The beast has a single horn on its head and five tails behind it. Its body is stretched out, and at first glance it looks like a leopard.
Li Zhi knew that this was the legendary mythical beast named Zhe. It was said that Zhe was extremely ferocious and its job was to hunt and kill evil spirits, which was a perfect match for the Night Patrol.
On the other side of the token, Li Zhi's name was neatly engraved, and below the name, there were a few small characters "丙属亥" engraved.
Li Zhi's thumb gently rubbed the words "丙属亥" engraved on the token, and a complex emotion arose in his heart.
He knew very well that this code name once belonged to Fang Jie, who had crossed paths with him. But now, time has passed and from today on, this code name officially belongs to him.
The moment Li Zhi took over the token, he had completed his identity change and officially became a member of the Night Patrol. From then on, he completely bid farewell to his identity as a temporary worker and truly integrated into this organization with heavy responsibilities.
Li Zhi put the token away, then looked at Shen Lie with a calm expression and said, "Then I will go back and pack up, and then we will set off."
Shen Lie heard this and nodded slightly, with a hint of concern in his eyes. He then said, "Be careful on this trip. If you encounter any difficult problems on the way, remember to ask for help from the company in time. Don't act rashly because of a momentary impulse!"
When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he was a little surprised. He couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Shen Lie in surprise, as if he didn't expect that this seemingly cold and serious leader would say such caring words at this moment.
Shen Lie's face was still as calm as water. He said calmly, "Since we have entered the Night Tour Division, we are all brothers. I don't want to see my brothers suffer."
After hearing these words, although Li Zhi had many feelings in his heart, he did not say anything more at this time. He just nodded silently, turned around and walked out of the room.
After Li Zhi left, Shen Lie seemed to have finally unloaded a heavy burden and exhaled heavily. At this moment, his face became even paler, and his originally cold and resolute face seemed to have lost some of its color, revealing an unconcealable fatigue and weakness.
Li Zhi only knew that Shen Lie had paid a lot of price to cast this spell, but he didn't know that Shen Lie had actually lost ten years of his life for this spell!
The price involved is so heavy, so heavy that it is hard to imagine.
The reason why Shen Lie fought so desperately was not only because he had signed a military order in front of the emperor, but also because he did not want the tragic scene that had happened in Narcissus City to happen again in Leizhou where he was stationed.
You know, in the previous Narcissus City incident, the Fantasy World Tree was finally successfully destroyed.
However, in the process, the three Xin clan members of the Night Patrol who discovered the Fantasy World Tree all died unfortunately.
Moreover, in order to completely destroy the mature Fantasy World Tree, the entire Xin clan paid a heavy price. Not only did the members suffer heavy casualties, but even the local civilians were killed and injured in countless numbers. The miserable scene was simply unbearable to watch.
In comparison, even the incident that happened in Linjiang City was less tragic than what happened in Narcissus City.
Whenever Shen Lie thought of the tragic situation in Narcissus City, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, he had to do his best to ensure that Leizhou would not become the second Narcissus City.
After Li Zhi walked out of the room, he seemed to have some feelings. He looked back at the closed door of the room, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
At this moment, the familiar voice of Cheng Fengzi sounded beside him: "Xiao Li, what's wrong?"
Obviously, Shen Lie had already informed Cheng Fengzi in advance, so Cheng Fengzi did not leave after the group was dismissed, but waited here.
Li Zhi came to his senses after hearing the voice, turned to look at Cheng Fengzi, and said calmly: "Okay, I'll go back and pack my things and I can leave."
After hearing this, Fengzi Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, I'll go back with you."
So, Li Zhi took Cheng Fengzi back to his home. As soon as he entered the house, Li Zhi began to pack the things he needed to take with him.
After everything was packed up, Li Zhi said to Fengzi Cheng: "Uncle Cheng, I'm done."
Fengzi Cheng responded, and then as if he remembered something, he said, "Leizhou is not big, but not small either. We probably won't be back so soon after this trip. You can ask Wei Si to come over to your place when he's free and clean up for you."
When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and was secretly surprised: Wei Si's business is quite broad, and he also takes cleaning jobs?
