Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 237: Shen Lie

After spending a few days leisurely, Li Zhi suddenly received a message from Cheng Fengzi, saying that the leader of the Bing clan had returned from the capital and ordered Li Zhi to go there today.

After all, the biggest leader of Class C has returned, and as a newcomer, Li Zhi naturally has to go and pay him a visit so that he can formally get to know his immediate superior.

Moreover, when the lord comes back this time, he will definitely have some arrangements, maybe it is related to the Fantasy World Tree, and then he might ask Li Zhi to help.

So, Li Zhi arrived at the office of the Yeyousi early in the morning of that day.

At this time, the drill ground was already filled with members of the Night Patrol Division C standing in an orderly manner. They stood tall and straight, like rows of straight green pines, standing there quietly, and a serious look on everyone's face.

Even Deng Tianqi, who always had a playful expression on his face, now looked serious.

In front of them, a middle-aged man with a solemn face stood sternly. His eyes were like sharp cold blades, slowly sweeping across everyone, as if he wanted to see through everyone.

This person is Li Zhi and his colleagues’ immediate superior, the leader of the Night Patrol Division C - Shen Lie.

He slowly said, "When we, several of our subordinates, met with His Majesty in the capital, we have already signed a military order. We will thoroughly investigate the areas under our respective jurisdictions and will never allow something like what happened in Narcissus Town to happen again."

Shen Lie paused, then continued: "So, in the days ahead, you'll all have to work harder. Clean up the entire Leizhou carefully, and if you encounter any monsters or evil spirits, or even those who practice cultivation, as long as their behavior is abnormal, kill them all mercilessly!"

His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry unquestionable majesty, echoing over the parade ground.

"Yes!" The twelve members of the Night Patrol responded in unison. The voices were uniform and deafening.

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself: Once Shen Lie gives this order, there will definitely be a brutal bloody storm in the Leizhou area.

At this moment, Shen Lie suddenly looked at Li Zhi with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. He asked, "Are you Li Zhi?"

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly took a step forward and stood up. He lowered his head and replied, "Yes! I am Li Zhi!"

Shen Lie nodded slightly, his expression still stern. He continued, "I already know that you have come into contact with the Fantasy World Tree before. This time I will cast a spell on you that will allow you to have a slight connection with the Fantasy World Tree. Then, with this connection, I will explore whether there are other Fantasy World Trees in Leizhou."

Li Zhi couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He felt that there must be a lot of risk in this matter. He raised his head, looked directly at Shen Lie and said, "Master, I wonder if this method is dangerous?"

There was a hint of caution in Li Zhi's words. After all, this was related to his own safety, so he would naturally not be careless.

When Shen Lie heard Li Zhi's question, his expression remained unchanged. He said calmly, "As far as this spell itself is concerned, there is no great risk. However, we can use this spell to find the whereabouts of the Fantasy World Tree, but if the other party knows the secrets of this spell, they can also use this spell to detect your existence..."

When Li Zhi heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he felt an urge to refuse. But just as he was about to speak, he saw Cheng Fengzi shaking his head at him.

Li Zhi immediately understood that Cheng Fengzi was hinting at him and he could not refuse this matter.

Li Zhi was helpless and lowered his head and sighed. Although he felt helpless, he also understood that the current situation did not allow him to choose whether to do it or not.

Seeing that Li Zhi did not refuse, Shen Lie's eyes suddenly flashed with satisfaction. He spoke again: "No matter whether this matter succeeds or not, from today on, you will be an official member of the Night Tour Division!"

When Li Zhi heard this, he grinned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He raised his head, looked at Shen Lie, and said, "Thank you, Lord!"

For Li Zhi, being able to become an official member of the Night Patrol ahead of schedule is undoubtedly great news, and it can be regarded as a little consolation in this troublesome matter.

After the other members of the Night Patrol Division C were disbanded one after another, Li Zhi followed Shen Lie all the way to a room in the Night Patrol Division.

As soon as Li Zhigang stepped into the room, he subconsciously looked around and took in the layout of the room. He saw that the floor of the room was covered with dense inscriptions, and the lines of those inscriptions were complicated and winding.

Next to the inscriptions, there are all kinds of strange things, including bottles and jars with strange shapes, and some strange-looking stones with strange patterns on the surface, which give off a weird feeling.

Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and thought to himself: It seems that Shen Lie has already prepared everything he needs, and is just waiting for me to come.

It was at this moment that Li Zhi finally understood why Cheng Fengzi had signaled him not to refuse. If he had really refused, he would not have been invited in so politely, but would have been forcibly taken over.

Li Zhi did not delay at all. Following Shen Lie's instructions, he carefully walked to the middle of the ground covered with inscriptions. Then he slowly sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and tried to keep his mind calm.

Seeing that Li Zhi was ready, Shen Lie said solemnly, "Close your eyes. Remember, no matter what sound you hear later, don't open your eyes. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Li Zhi nodded, indicating that he understood. He immediately closed his eyes tightly, blocking out all the light from the outside world, and instantly fell into darkness.

Then, he felt a series of extremely strange noises coming from his ears.

At first, there were some noisy and chaotic sounds, which seemed to pull Li Zhi to a busy and bustling street with people coming and going.

There were all kinds of noises, including the sounds of hawking, pedestrians talking, and children playing. All these sounds intertwined together, chaotic and noisy, making Li Zhi involuntarily imagine a lively scene of the city streets.

However, before Li Zhi had time to distinguish the sounds carefully, the sound suddenly changed.

In an instant, it turned into waves of terrifying shouts and cries of killing. The shouts and cries were deafening, as if thousands of troops were fighting fiercely, mixed with the clanging of weapons and the screams of the wounded. All these sounds mixed together to create an extremely tragic and bloody atmosphere.

This made Li Zhi's heart tighten suddenly, and a strong sense of tension instantly surged into his heart. He almost couldn't help but open his eyes to see what was going on.

Fortunately, Li Zhi's will was extremely strong. He resisted the urge to open his eyes subconsciously, and sat there motionless with his eyes closed.

Gradually, the terrifying shouts and cries of killing began to fade away, like the tide, until finally, all the sounds disappeared completely, and the surroundings returned to a dead silence.

Then, Li Zhi heard Shen Lie's familiar voice ringing in his ears: "Okay."

Although the voice was still low and serious, Li Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
