Chapter 85: Escort and Evacuation

As the only person who had broken the illusion and was not affected by the bone mural, Li Yi's value was manifested at this moment.

In this three-way game, he became the final weight, completely breaking the balance and allowing the Investigation Bureau to achieve the final victory. If not for his existence, this competition over the Mystic Object would have continued for a very long time, and even a great war between practitioners might have broken out.

At this moment, Li Yi didn't waste words and came to the side of that bone mural again.

This white marble wall was not very large, less than two meters high and less than three meters long. An ordinary person certainly couldn't move such a heavy wall, but Li Yi was a practitioner who had opened his Spirit Medium; his strength was not small at all. If it were just moving a purely heavy object, he had no problem at all.

"Rise!"

Seeing him grab the edge of the wall with one hand and support it with the other, his muscles tensed, he exerted force suddenly, and this section of the broken wall was lifted up by him alone.

"Li Yi, can you walk?" Zhang Lei asked immediately.

"No problem, I can bear this weight. Captain, help me prepare a vehicle downstairs, I can transport it back to the training base by myself." Li Yi's voice was loud and clear, full of energy; clearly, moving this Mystic Object was still well within his capabilities, and he hadn't exerted too much effort.

"Good, very good." Zhang Lei smiled: "You have made a great contribution in this operation. After we handle these matters, the Investigation Bureau will definitely reward you based on merit, and we will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Li Yi had seized a defective Mystic Object for the Investigation Bureau; this was the first instance since the establishment of the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau.

Moreover, with this defective Mystic Object remaining in the hands of the Investigation Bureau, who knows how many experts will emerge in the future, and how many people will be attracted to join the Investigation Bureau; this is a huge help for the future situation.

Not far away, Yang Yi Long, seeing that Li Yi could really take this Mystic Object away, finally had his heart, which had been hanging, die at this moment.

As Li Shaoqing said, he had no chance at all.

"Zhang Lei, I am withdrawing from this competition for the Mystic Object."

Yang Yi Long said somewhat unwillingly, but then he said seriously: "However, I also hope that there will be opportunities to cooperate with the Investigation Bureau in the future, and apply for opportunities to borrow the Mystic Object."

Zhang Lei laughed: "That is easy to say, easy to say."

He neither agreed nor refused; after all, he also had to consider the relationship between Li Yi and Yang Yi Long, and couldn't chill the hearts of his subordinates.

Seeing Zhang Lei's answer, Yang Yi Long's face turned a few shades darker.

Then he looked at Li Yi again, suddenly feeling a sense of frustration.

He didn't expect that he would actually fall into the hands of this Li Yi, who had only opened his Spirit Medium not long ago, today. Could retribution really come so quickly?

If he had known about today's events, he shouldn't have forcibly learned that fist technique from Li Yi, leading to the two of them becoming enemies. If he and Li Yi had some friendship, he might have joined forces with Li Shaoqing today to take this defective Mystic Object from the Investigation Bureau.

Sure enough, what goes around comes around.

It's just that he didn't expect the price to be so high.

Yang Yi Long took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, and then said: "Since the matter has a result, I won't disturb you anymore. See you when we have time in the future."

Continuing to stay here was truly embarrassing; he could only leave quickly.

Li Shaoqing and Zhang Lei smiled without a word, watching Yang Yi Long leave.

And Li Yi, on the side, was like an old ox, carrying this Mystic Object, walking toward downstairs. He now just wanted to end this mission quickly, then go back to have a good rest, and at the same time get the bonus for this operation. He still needed to earn money to change to a new home, buy a new medical cabin... in short, his head was full of money now.

However, outside the building.

The Investigation Bureau members who had been waiting for news also realized that they should have won this battle.

First, Wei Bin was heavily injured, vomited blood, and fled the building, then that group of wanderers scattered, and later Yang Yi Long sat in a car and left with a gloomy face without saying a word, so the result was self-evident.

"The Captain really didn't let us down; our Investigation Bureau has taken this Mystic Object."

Wang Jian, seeing many people from the Practitioners Association driving away, couldn't help but smile at this moment.

"This is natural. The people from the Practitioners Association didn't have the guts to make a move against us. That Wei Bin suffered a loss and fled without looking back; he probably feared being kept here by the Captain. It's just that this Daoist didn't expect Yang Yi Long to actually retreat... in my opinion, it should be that Li Shaoqing, the vice-president of the Practitioners Association, joined forces with our Captain."

On the side, Daoist Priest Peter, wearing a Daoist robe, stroked his beard and smiled, looking like a Daoist expert.

It's just that the sniper rifle on his back ruined his image.

"Daoist Priest Peter's analysis makes sense." Investigator Zhang Zhixiong thought for a moment and also felt it was so.

"Zhang Zhixiong."

Suddenly.

Captain Zhang Lei's voice came from inside the building.

"Here, Captain." Zhang Zhixiong responded loudly immediately.

"Prepare a pickup truck for Li Yi alone." Zhang Lei said, and then added: "Peter, you are responsible for this escort mission; you must send Li Yi back to the investigation base safe and sound."

The two received the order and acted immediately.

Soon, a pickup truck drove over and stopped under the building, and Daoist Priest Peter also immediately organized manpower and began preparing to evacuate.

In a short while.

Li Yi walked out of the building carrying a white marble wall.

"Back off, don't get too close to me, keep a distance of more than ten meters, be careful of being affected."

Wang Jian and Zhang Zhixiong just wanted to help, but were stopped by Li Yi. They stopped their steps and retreated one after another; clearly, they had reacted, and then the two also immediately reminded other teammates not to get close.

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief only after moving this Mystic Object onto the pickup truck.

"Li Yi, the car keys are in the car, you can start it at any time." Zhang Zhixiong said.

"Alright, many thanks."

Li Yi didn't hesitate and immediately got into the car to start the vehicle. Now he had to transport the Mystic Object back; every minute delayed on the road was an extra minute of risk.

And as the only person transporting the Mystic Object, clearly his risk was the greatest.

"Captain, everything is ready here, we can depart at any time." Li Yi shouted.

"Very good, give me a minute."

Zhang Lei didn't know what he was talking about with Li Shaoqing at this moment; after a while, the two walked out of the building, but judging from their expressions, they should have reached some kind of cooperative relationship.

"Peter, how are things arranged on your side?"

"No problem, this Daoist has always been careful in doing things." Daoist Priest Peter replied.

"Zhang Zhixiong, you take your people and continue to stay here; there are still many beast corpses in this building that need to be handled. Others follow the vehicle and depart, returning to the training base." After Zhang Lei made the arrangements, he began to act.

Soon.

Vehicle after vehicle evacuated in an orderly manner, and Li Yi, driving the pickup carrying that white marble wall, was escorted in the middle to prevent being coveted.

And Li Shaoqing, as the vice-president of the Practitioners Association, actually followed the convoy and escorted them all the way.

Clearly, he also didn't want any accidents to occur.

Fortunately, the journey was safe, and no accidents were encountered, except for meeting a beast, but it was sniped by Daoist Priest Peter, who was driving in front, and the corpse was also taken away together.

The training base side had also long been prepared for the reception.

All the instructors had arrived, and even the investigators participating in the training and many external combat personnel had all gathered together.

After the vehicles drove into the training base, Zhang Lei, after communicating with the training base people before, decided to first place this defective Mystic Object in a warehouse underground, and then handle it later.

Li Yi could only work a bit harder and move the Mystic Object one more time.

However, after finishing this matter, there was nothing for him to do; his mission this time was considered successfully completed, and he could go back to his dormitory to rest.

As for the subsequent problems brought by the bone mural, those had nothing to do with him; they were all matters within the high levels of the Investigation Bureau.

Li Yi, this external combat personnel, was relaxed, but the other investigators were busy to death.

They had to transport the remains of the victims, clean up the beasts, and write various reports... in short, there was no rest. Fortunately, they were all practitioners with abundant physical strength, otherwise, no one could hold up.

It wasn't until they were busy until the early morning that this matter was considered to have come to an end.

And Li Yi, during this period, had returned to his dormitory in the training base and continued to enter meditation to cultivate.

But today, as soon as he entered meditation, he broke into a cold sweat.

Because Li Yi, after entering meditation, saw a person.

To be precise, he saw himself.

Li Yi in his consciousness was sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, his hands forming a precious seal, his expression peaceful, with a smile on his face, just like a Buddha in the world.

"This is... me?"

Li Yi, after being shocked awake, had an expression of disbelief. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
