"Oh? Old Wang, you're back?"
Just as Wang Feng was feeling down, Mo Fan's head peeked out from around the corner.
"Mm, where's Monkey?" Wang Feng nodded, asking casually.
"He's sleeping in his room. Oh, and Su Xiaoluo is here too." Mo Fan shrugged, a hint of gossip in his tone:
"Sigh, Monkey truly survived a great disaster and will have good fortune later. First there was He Yu, then Su Xiaoluo. I wonder if, with his amnesia, he'll choose He Yu or Su Xiaoluo."
"Only children make choices; adults want them all!"
As soon as he entered, Wang Feng saw Su Xiaoluo sitting by Zhang Xiaohou's bed, her hand gently holding Zhang Xiaohou's hand.
Hearing the door open, Su Xiaoluo suddenly turned her head. Seeing it was Wang Feng, a blush immediately spread across her face, and she quickly let go of Zhang Xiaohou's hand.
She said in a somewhat flustered manner: "Wang, Brother Wang, you're back?"
"Mm."
Wang Feng nodded, not exposing her embarrassment, but instead walked to Zhang Xiaohou's side.
He quickly released his spiritual power, carefully examining Zhang Xiaohou's physical condition.
Soon, he discovered the forgetfulness bug hidden within Zhang Xiaohou's body.
"Aquarius Starburst!"
As the constellation formed, a crystal-clear illusory bottle appeared in the air. The bottle's mouth tilted, and a rich milky-white light streamed down onto Zhang Xiaohou's body.
"This!!!"
Su Xiaoluo's eyes widened, and she covered her small mouth with both hands, her face filled with shock.
She had learned from Mo Fan that Wang Feng was powerful, but she never expected him to also be a Healing System High-level Mage!
The milky-white light, like warm spring water, slowly permeated Zhang Xiaohou's body.
Soon, the forgetfulness bug was completely annihilated under Wang Feng's Healing, Mind, and Light System magic, as well as several compound talents.
Zhang Xiaohou's body trembled slightly, then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Monkey, awake? Get up quickly, come out with me!" Wang Feng looked at Zhang Xiaohou.
Zhang Xiaohou stared blankly at Wang Feng, his eyes still seemingly carrying a hint of confusion.
"Alright, stop pretending, you kid never had amnesia!" Wang Feng directly exposed his disguise.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohou's blank eyes instantly regained their usual liveliness.
He scratched his head and gave an awkward smile: "Brother Wang, how did you know?"
"Don't worry about that, now come with me to the Clock Tower Magic Association!" Wang Feng did not explain further.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded quickly, leaping off the bed.
This left Mo Fan and Su Xiaoluo, who were standing nearby, dumbfounded.
"So he was faking it…" Lingling, who had come over upon hearing the commotion, muttered.
…
Wang Feng brought Zhang Xiaohou to the Clock Tower Magic Association.
Then he put on the "yellow jacket" that symbolized his status as a Councilman and walked straight in under the respectful gazes of everyone.
With an unobstructed path, Wang Feng brought Zhang Xiaohou and Lingling directly to Han Ji's office.
He gently knocked on the door, and soon, a strong, resonant voice came from inside: "Come in!"
Wang Feng pushed the door open and saw an old man with black hair and a black beard sitting at the desk. It was Han Ji, the President of the Ancient Capital Clock Tower Magic Association.
Standing beside him was his "acquaintance"—Zhu Meng.
"Eh? Wang Feng, why are you in the Ancient Capital?" Zhu Meng asked, surprised, upon seeing Wang Feng.
"I came to save someone, but during the rescue, I discovered a shocking conspiracy." Wang Feng said seriously.
"What conspiracy did Wang Councilor discover?" Han Ji's expression tightened, and he asked urgently.
Wang Feng did not answer directly but turned to Zhang Xiaohou and said:
"Monkey, this is Han Ji, the President of the Ancient Capital Clock Tower Magic Association, and also the highest authority in the Ancient Capital. This is Councilman Zhu Meng, a member of the Hidden Danger Strategic Group. Both are trustworthy. Tell them everything you know."
Zhang Xiaohou nodded. He naturally trusted Wang Feng's words unconditionally.
Then, Zhang Xiaohou meticulously recounted everything he had seen and heard.
When Han Ji and Zhu Meng heard that the Black Vatican was planning to unleash a undead calamity and ultimately have the Calamity Abyss swallow the Ancient Capital, both their faces instantly became extremely gloomy.
"Damn Black Vatican! How dare they, how dare they!" Zhu Meng roared, slamming his fist heavily on the table, his eyes filled with rage.
Han Ji's face was equally grim, but he quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "Wang Councilor, besides this, are there any other intelligence?"
Wang Feng nodded and continued:
"There's another crucial piece of intelligence. The Black Vatican plans to mix a substance similar to the Earth Holy Spring into the rainwater, making the undead go berserk, no longer fearing sunlight, and able to move during the day. This way, the millions of people in the Ancient Capital will be unable to escape and will ultimately be swallowed by the Calamity Abyss."
As he spoke, he took out a sealed container from his storage space and placed it on the table:
"This is the Spring of Berserkness that I extracted from the rainwater during the Bo City blood disaster two years ago. It has the effect of making demons go berserk, and it was precisely this characteristic that the Black Vatican exploited, causing Bo City to suffer."
"This intelligence is very important. On behalf of the entire Ancient Capital, I thank Councilman Wang Feng."
Han Ji stood up and bowed solemnly to Wang Feng.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and a Gray-robed man walked in.
"Do we need to excuse ourselves?" Wang Feng asked.
"No need to avoid them, there are no outsiders here." Han Ji waved his hand, signaling the Gray-robed man to report directly.
The Gray-robed man nodded, then proceeded to relay the intelligence purchased from Asha Ruiya.
"Damn it! No wonder Cardinal Salang set her stage in the Ancient Capital; it turns out she had been hiding among us all along!"
Han Ji clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
"Interrupting for a moment," Wang Feng suddenly spoke: "As far as I know, Cardinal Salang is a female, and she has a Rain Master under her command, who is a Water System Disaster Victim. Her strength is estimated to be Super-level, and the rain in Bo City was also brought down by her."
Wang Feng's words were like a bomb, instantly shocking Han Ji, Zhu Meng, and the Gray-robed man, leaving them stunned.
"I have told you all the intelligence I know. The rest is up to your actions." Wang Feng said.
Han Ji exhaled and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, we will immediately launch a comprehensive investigation and absolutely not let Cardinal Salang's conspiracy succeed."
"It's best to evacuate the residents of the outer city to the inner city. Tonight will likely not be peaceful."
After dropping this last sentence, Wang Feng left the Clock Tower Magic Association with Zhang Xiaohou.
He believed that with Han Ji's ability, he would definitely make the optimal choice.
And now, he only needed to quietly wait for night to fall.
At that time, he would be able to start 'harvesting'!
…
After leaving the Clock Tower Magic Association, Wang Feng first let Zhang Xiaohou go home to visit his little girlfriend.
As for himself, he came to a Seven Days Inn not far from the Hunter's Union.
He walked straight to room 301 and pushed the door open.
What greeted his eyes was Ye Chang, who had removed her disguise.
Her appearance showed no age; she possessed both the purity of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman.
A simple red dress hugged her voluptuous figure, and a head of sandy-gold wavy long hair cascaded down her back, both elegant and seductive.
Upon seeing Wang Feng, Ye Chang immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Master, you've arrived."
