Chapter 533: Chapter 533
This is a very ordinary card.
It’s quite similar to the little cards slipped under hotel doors at midnight, even the format is strikingly similar.
Unknowing people might think this came from some club’s advertisement.
There’s a string of continuous numbers written on it.
If there are no other references, this is just a meaningless thing.
The person dressed as a nurse spoke again, "Mr. Bai, we will inform you of the specific information when the time comes. You’ll know the purpose of this card then."
Playing riddles with him?
Can the riddle man get lost?
Just as Baiyu wanted to say something, this person merged into the wall and promptly disappeared from his view.
Urgent footsteps sounded outside the ward.
Baiyu put away the card, and saw the real nurse, hurriedly arriving with a team of guards.
Looking at the large hole on the wall.
Everyone’s expression changed.
The nurse asked anxiously, "Mr. Bai, what happened? Are you hurt?"
Baiyu pointed to the Shark Kiss in his hand, calmly saying, "Accidental discharge, all expenses will be reimbursed by the Anomaly Bureau."
Everyone was speechless.
Luckily, there was no injury to the person, otherwise, even with ten more heads, they couldn’t bear the responsibility.
Once confirmed that he was fine.
The crowd quickly retreated.
Only then did Baiyu relax and continue his previous reading.
The days of rest and observation in the hospital went by quickly.
Because unlike previous circumstances, he entered the Dream Realm; it was not simply approaching extraordinary things or a source of pollution.
Thus, the observation period had to be one month.
Apart from reading, resting, and maintaining exercise to prevent blood qi decline, Baiyu did practically nothing else.
These days were extremely leisurely.
This was also thanks to the expenses being borne by the Anomaly Bureau, and it was said that this place costs five figures a day.
"Mr. Bai, here’s your report during the observation period and the hospital’s discharge evaluation for you."
At the hospital front desk.
Baiyu received the discharge permit from the staff, nodded, and walked out.
Zhang Ruoxu and Ji Long, along with Meng Lei, coincidentally were discharged on the same day as him.
"Baiyu, this time I must thank you for rescuing Roxia."
Zhang Ruoxu spoke as he saw him exit.
"No need for such politeness, Elder Zhang. I merely had good luck. Besides, someone still died in there."
Roxia is a captain of the Anomaly Bureau.
Accompanying Zhang Ruoxu into the Dream Realm was also a captain, making their statuses equivalent.
Rescuing Roxia signified the success of this operation. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI(F)ire.net
The victory was indeed a Pyrrhic one.
If they had known beforehand that the door led to the Dream Realm, they might have reconsidered the pros and cons of this action.
Everyone came out battered and bruised, and manpower was lost.
Roxia was rescued, but due to the Sealing Object, she suffered from spirit fragmentation.
This was a significant blow to Villiduo’s Anomaly Bureau.
This simultaneously equated to the loss of combat capabilities equivalent to two captains.
To become a captain of the Anomaly Bureau in Villiduo, one must possess either blood qi or be in an extraordinary sequence at Tier Six and above.
Or be extremely exceptional in one aspect.
The loss of such talents is understandable why Zhang Ruoxu felt the way he did.
"Gentlemen, the Church now awaits my return to report. I’ve already narrated the encounter to the Mountain Clouds Duke. Currently, there’s nothing left for me here."
Ji Long promptly took his leave.
This ordeal had indeed been troublesome for him, and he was relieved to extricate himself.
"Baiyu, if you have time, visit the Church. We can reminisce." Meng Lei said to Baiyu.
"Certainly, but Brother Meng, you don’t seem well lately. You should pay attention to your health."
Meng Lei indeed looked unwell, emanating an air of spiritual exhaustion, which shouldn’t be the case for a martial artist of his capability.
Especially since he’s a member of the Holy Light Church.
He should be full of spirit.
"Hehe, it’s alright."
Meng Lei laughed off dismissively.
With their departure, only Zhang Ruoxu and Baiyu remained.
The old man didn’t dawdle, knowing what Baiyu was waiting for.
He pulled out a letter from within his coat, saying, "This is a handwritten letter by me. Present it to the Mountain City Anomaly Bureau General Office and the Minister of Armament, and they’ll cooperate with your Security Bureau work."
"Thank you, Elder Zhang."
Baiyu smiled and reached for the letter.
"No need for thanks, this was already promised by me before. Without you, rescuing Roxia might still be uncertain.
Even now, there’s still something I’m unclear about."
Zhang Ruoxu held onto the envelope, his old hands unmoving.
Baiyu stretched to tug a few times, but didn’t manage to pull the letter from his hand.
"Elder Zhang, if there’s something to say, just say it. If I know the details, I’ll surely speak openly."
He regained composure and spoke.
Zhang Ruoxu nodded, saying, "I want to know why we gathered again at the last moment of return, and that mysterious light beam..."
Baiyu didn’t expect him to ask that.
Because previously, the Immortal Yisu wanted to discuss joining forces with Baiyu, they created four paths, dispersing the four to leave.
According to Immortal Yisu’s tone.
She even kept it unknown to the gods of the Forest, presumably with Red Cup’s backing.
Was likely related to Yisu.
But would the other party really be so kind as to save others? Baiyu had no way of knowing.
There’s another possibility.
Being the work of the Velvet King.
However, Baiyu wasn’t sure, and thankfully, they managed to escape unscathed this time.
Would Zhang Ruoxu dare go back?
"I don’t know either; Elder Zhang, your understanding of dreams should exceed mine."
Baiyu shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruoxu concluded Baiyu likely wasn’t aware, and relinquished his inquiry.
The two chit-chatted for a while.
Finally, Baiyu got the letter from Zhang Ruoxu’s hand.
Villiduo wasn’t a place to linger.
After an absence of a month.
Baiyu hastily returned to Mountain City through the Teleportation Light Gate.
Is now the foundation of Baiyu.
He even plans to move the headquarters of the Veterans Mutual Aid Association and the Qiong Ning Chamber to Mountain City in some time.
This requires him to establish a firm footing here.
Being one of the top three largest shelters in East Prosperity, its space rivaled Villiduo’s.
In all respects, it was not lacking.
Moreover, it’s situated in the Spirit Realm, which though it’s more dangerous, boasts richer resources.
Baiyu arrived at the Violet Count’s Mansion and saw a crowd gathered outside the mansion.
