In the courtyard of Jiangnan Bureau 749 headquarters, the night is getting darker.

The hall where people gathered during the day has become quiet. Team members from all walks of life have been assigned to their own private rooms to rest, adjust their breath and nourish their energy, polish their magic weapons, and prepare for their journey north to the Northeast tomorrow.

Hu Jiulang stood alone under the bluestone corridor in the courtyard, with the cool evening breeze blowing his black clothes.He looked up at the stars and moon in the night sky, his fingertips gently caressing the broken amulet in his arms, his expression calm and lonely.

The team is all assembled, and the lineup is ready. Tomorrow, they will rush to the ice-covered Northeast and face the den of tigers and wolves of the three major Japanese evil sects.The road ahead is dangerous and unpredictable, life and death are unpredictable, and he has long been bearish.

It's just that the obsession with Yang Tong in my heart can never be completely let go.

"Mr. Kuro."

There were soft footsteps behind him, and Lin Jia walked slowly, holding a compiled Northeast route map and supplies list in her hand.

"Departing at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, the exclusive material train will go directly to the Northeast Shenyang Branch, avoiding the eyes and ears of the world, and will be escorted by dedicated personnel from the 749 Bureau." Lin Jia handed him the drawing. "There will be several mountainous and forest sections with strong evil spirits along the way. I have marked them. I will also trouble you to deduce Feng Shui and avoid evil gathering places."

Hu Jiulang took the drawing, glanced at it casually, and nodded: "It doesn't matter, just leave it to me."

Lin Jia stood beside him and was silent for a moment. Finally, she couldn't help but speak softly: "You... still can't let go of Yang Tong?"

There was a slight pause in the evening breeze, and a trace of sadness flashed across Hu Jiulang's eyes. He did not deny it, nor did he admit it. He just said lightly: "The deceased is gone. It's just that the obsession is hard to let go."

"I understand." Lin Jia sighed softly, with a bit of relief and heartache in her eyes, "I was also happy with you at the beginning, but when I saw the affection between you and Yang Tong, I let it go. Now I just hope that you will go north and come back alive, and don't be stuck in the past and waste your Taoism."

She has long since put aside her love for her son and daughter, and now only regards him as a teammate and friend, sincerely hoping that he is safe.

Hu Jiulang glanced sideways at her and nodded lightly: "Thank you for your concern. I have my own sense of discretion."

The two of them stood quietly under the corridor, looking at the stars and moon in the night sky, silently accompanying each other, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful.

At this moment, Hu Jiulang's phone vibrated slightly.

He took out his old smartphone, and the screen lit up, showing a message from Qianmo, the capital city.

There are only a few words: Master, Sister Xixi came to Guapu today and asked you when you would go back. She was worried that you would be implicated in Bureau 749 and something would happen.I told you about the fortune as you asked. Sister Xixi has always been worried about you and said that if there is a chance, she would like to see you again.

Hu Jiulang read the news, was silent for a moment, and replied: The worldly cause and effect has been settled for the time being, so there is no need to worry about it. I am traveling far away and my return date has not yet been determined.

After sending the message, I put away my phone and felt a trace of emotion in my heart.

The Gua Pu, Qianmo, and Xixi in the alleys of the magic city are all the few goodwill and fireworks he has left in the world of mortals.Now that I have entered the world again and run into danger, I can only let go of the ties of the world for the time being.

But he didn't expect that not long after, a notice came from the gate of the compound that someone came to visit specifically and wanted to see Hu Jiulang.
