Clang—

The office door was suddenly pushed open with a piercing noise.

Mei Xinshan hadn't even had time to mourn the loss of another comrade when he saw the man rush back without even knocking.

"Huh? Why are you back again..."

"Captain Mei! He's back! He's come back! It's unbelievable, three months! He stayed in that damned place for three whole months and he's still alive!" the man said, gasping for breath.

Listening to the man's somewhat incoherent words, Mei Xinshan frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean he's back, what damned place, three months? Have a drink of water, catch your breath, and tell me properly."

Before the man could organize his words,

the door was pushed open again.

A youthful and handsome face appeared in the office, and Wu Liang beamed with a sunny smile, saying, "He means—I'm back, Captain Mei. Could you spare me a meal? I've had way too much dry food these days and really miss the steamy food of human society."

"You! You're not..."

Seeing Wu Liang, Mei Xinshan was so shocked his jaw almost dislocated, and he too became a bit incoherent like the man before.

To be honest, even though he had personally witnessed Wu Liang's incredible power back then,

he had been out of contact for more than three months after entering the Celestial Pool of Tianshan!

Furthermore, the vehicle's supplies could only last for about a month. Even if he wasn't killed by a Fierce Ghost, what did he eat for the remaining two months?

Who wouldn't think that this kid had perished within the Celestial Pool of Tianshan!

How could he just reappear in Di Wu City, in my office!

This is simply unbelievable!

"Huff... Xu Mingchang, go to the canteen and ask the chef to prepare a meal in the private room, just say I'm treating."

Mei Xinshan, not one to be overwhelmed as the head of the Di Wu City official branch, calmed down in just a few seconds and immediately instructed the man to prepare a feast.

Seeing the man seemed to have forgotten he had just filed a request to leave, he understood the captain was still quite excited, so he nodded and immediately turned to leave the office to inform the canteen to prepare the meal.

Before long, in the private room of the Di Wu City's official branch canteen,

Wu Liang was directly enjoying the table full of delicacies in front of him.

He actually wasn't joking earlier; he truly missed normal human food.

Yet, seeing Mei Xinshan holding a bowl and chopsticks, wanting to speak, Wu Liang said with a mouthful of braised pork: "I know you're anxious, but don't be."

"Dear reporter! I might not be anxious, but the residents of Di Wu City can't help but be!"

He could see immediately that the other had already realized Di Wu City's current shortage of manpower issues.

The only one who could solve this issue now was this young man in front of him.

After all, during these three months, the Beijing Headquarters kept inquiring about the Celestial Pool of Tianshan, asked each time by the current top commander, the Zodiac Dragon, himself.

This showed how important this young man was to the headquarters.

If he could just ask for support from the headquarters, even if the people they send only help solve the remaining supernatural events in Di Wu City, without needing to stay here, the city would finally catch a break.

Because right now, the growth rate of supernatural events in Di Wu City is exceeding their resolution rate!

For example, twelve supernatural events happened this month, but they could only handle about ten of them.

The remaining two incidents would be carried over, and the same would happen next month, leaving more supernatural events unhandled...

If this accumulates, in just a few months, Di Wu City's space for survival might be drastically reduced!

"Let me ask you, if all the residual supernatural events in Di Wu City were cleared up now, how long could you ensure order and stability here?"

Taking a sip of pigeon soup, Wu Liang asked.

Hearing this, Mei Xinshan's eyes lit up.

It seemed the other side understood the current predicament!

He replied without hesitation, "One year! If all the current lingering supernatural events in Di Wu City could be cleared up, giving the Awakened a chance to catch their breath, I can guarantee there won't be any issues here for a year!"

Wu Liang lifted his head and locked eyes with the uncle who was wholeheartedly dedicated to the people of Di Wu City, hearing the confident promise from him.

He nodded and replied, "No need for a year, just hold on for two or three months; the officials should send new orders. Remember what you said today."

"Oh, and for now, don't inform the Beijing Headquarters that I'm back. I have my plans."

With that, he picked up a chicken leg from the table,

gnawing on it as he walked towards the door of the private room. Without looking back, he continued, "Consider this as repayment for borrowing your off-road vehicle. Good deeds are rewarded, okay? Next time in Chengyang City, I'll treat you for a meal."

Before Mei Xinshan could react, his figure was enveloped in a strange mist and disappeared at the private room's door.

Leaving behind was only a table of cleaned plates and scattered chicken bones thrown into the trash outside the door.

It was a few seconds before Mei Xinshan, sitting dumbfounded on the chair, realized the insane move Wu Liang intended to make.

"Not notifying the Beijing Headquarters, meaning not requesting support... He plans to solve all the supernatural events in Di Wu City by himself!?"

Such an act sent a little shock of arrogance to Mei Xinshan, an experienced Awakened.

But recalling how he easily neutralized all the Awakened when Mei Xinshan tried stopping this young man in the hotel, compared to his formidable strength back then, the vibe he gave off now seemed even more mysteriously profound.

Could it be, during his time in the Celestial Pool of Tianshan, his skills could climb to another level?

Maybe... he could indeed turn the city's crisis around on his own?

Thinking of this, Mei Xinshan pushed the door open and went out.

Hurriedly ran back to his office, took out communication equipment to contact all the official Awakened in Di Wu City, and asked them if they noticed anything unusual.

Unexpectedly, feedback began pouring back in just half an hour later—

"Just now, a mysterious person wearing a Sun Wukong mask rushed into the supernatural event I was dealing with, dragged the Fierce Ghost out, and punched it into exorcism! Does this count as a new supernatural event?"

"WTF! Me too! I almost got nailed by the alarm clock ghost, but a guy with a monkey mask rushed in and cleaned it up at lightning speed."

"Damn, this guy seems to know the Fierce Ghost's weakness in advance, and his efficiency in dealing with issues in the supernatural blockade is astonishing!"

"Damn! When he rescued the victim, he even told me there's another unspotted Fierce Ghost in the neighboring community, with victims there as well, and asked me to go check!"

"Captain Mei, did you invite this deity down to earth?"

"..."

Hearing the subordinates' feedback, Mei Xinshan's astonishment at Wu Liang's prowess kept getting refreshed.

This is just terrifying!

The young man is frantically sweeping through Di Wu City's supernatural events at the rate of one incident every half hour!

This even includes many unspotted Fierce Ghosts and his own travel time!

This guy... is he really human?
