"Her?" The Devil Monarch chuckled, "So eager to control me already?"

Betty's sweet, husky voice replied:

"Lord Devil Monarch, you are the most promising Night Wanderer of our time. Our President admires you greatly; how could she possibly want to control you?

"Besides, you have an old saying here - 'To die beneath a peony is romantic even for a ghost.' The President is the most charming woman in the world; wouldn't you look forward to spending a night with her?"

"Heh, that's because you don't know another of our sayings: 'The whip may be long, but it does not reach everywhere.'" The Devil Monarch sneered:

"I will sleep with her, but now is not the time. When I complete the last solo Instance and step into that supreme realm, I will naturally go to see her."

After a moment of silence, Betty whispered seductively:

"What if the President could tell you a secret? A secret about Night Wanderers, no, one of the greatest secrets of The Way of the Extraordinary."

"Foolish woman." The Devil Monarch said calmly, "Every gift comes with a price tag. The Association of Beauty Gods would never tell me such a high-level secret for no reason. They want to control me. Hmm, do you know this secret?"

"I, I don't know..."

"Don't be afraid. You are an irresistible beauty. I won't kill you to extract information while I'm not tired of playing with you."

Then, there was a "slurping" sound. Zhang Yuanqing, being a pure child, guessed that the foreign woman must be eating delicious food to replenish her strength.

Just then, the Night Wanderer time ended, and Zhang Yuanqing reappeared in the room. Hearing the slurping sounds, he frowned deeply because he realized something.

This item... belongs to the Devil Monarch!

The King Cat speaker could not be stored in the inventory and had to be carried around, and the audio just played was of the Devil Monarch and a foreign woman.

What does this mean?

It means that the King Cat speaker was with the Devil Monarch at the time. What owner wouldn't carry such an item with them?

Brother Bing asked me to find this item, but it is the Devil Monarch's item. What is the relationship between Brother Bing and the Devil Monarch?

Brother Bing is definitely not the Devil Monarch; the voice is wrong, and Brother Bing's speaking style isn't like that. He and Brother Bing have known each other since they were kids wearing open-crotch pants; they are too familiar.

Devil Monarch: "Come on, let's change positions..."

The two seemed to have figured it out and stopped eating, beginning to exchange more intimately.

Zhang Yuanqing had to cast Night Wanderer again to block the sound. Just then, the moans were suddenly replaced by a "buzzing" electrical sound. The next moment, a low, familiar voice came from the King Cat speaker:

"Detective, this is your assistant, A Bing. I can't tell when you'll hear this recording, but I know that by this time, I should already be dead, or missing...

"Don't ask about my relationship with the Devil Monarch. The truth is something you can't handle right now. If I'm already missing, please don't try to find me. At least, at least wait until you've completed the first large-scale Kill Instance and advanced to the Saint realm.

"This item will bring you a lot of useful information, about me, about the Devil Monarch... But remember, don't let anyone hear the recording. If it's leaked, you have to silence them.

"The Devil Monarch's character card is a gift from me to you. It symbolizes opportunity, but it also comes with endless risks. Don't overly trust the official organizations; don't trust anyone.

"Now, I'll give you the first hint. When you hear this recording, the Wily-Eyed Judge should already be dead. If the Black Impermanence hasn't been found yet, you must find a way to find him and get the Register. You must get the Register..."

How did Brother Bing know that the Wily-Eyed Judge would be dead by now? He can't even be sure of the exact time I got the King Cat speaker, unless, before he recorded this, the Wily-Eyed Judge was already dead, which is why he's so sure... Zhang Yuanqing was shocked.

He suddenly remembered what Yuan Ting had asked him that day: "Although we can't determine the exact time of the Devil Monarch's death, it should be recently, and the Wily-Eyed Judge's death time is the same. So, the Devil Monarch and the Wily-Eyed Judge's demise are connected?"

"Must get the Register... Brother Bing spoke so solemnly. What important things are in the Register? It seems he's involved in the deaths of the Devil Monarch and the Wily-Eyed Judge. Could it be that his disappearance is because of this?"

"Then, figuring out the truth about the deaths of the Devil Monarch and the Wily-Eyed Judge, will I be able to know why Brother Bing disappeared and where he is now?"

Zhang Yuanqing waited for a while and, seeing that the King Cat speaker didn't play any more sounds, immediately put it back in the drawer.

He sat at his desk for a long time, found a notebook, and organized his thoughts by writing:

"The Five Elements Alliance is looking for the Black Impermanence, and the Spirit Union's East District branch is also looking for him. Too many forces are involved in this matter. If I want to find the Register, it's best to join the search team and act with the backing of the Five Elements Alliance, which will also make it easier to hide myself."

Later, I'll go to the unit and sound out the squad leader to see if I can join the operation.

"Discovered a new profession - the Love and Lust profession. Sounds like a foreign profession. Tsk tsk, a beauty? I really want to see what it's like..."

As Zhang Yuanqing wrote, he realized he was going off track and crossed out the second half.

"The Devil Monarch had close ties with foreign professions. I just don't know if he ever met the President of the Association of Beauty Gods and got the secret from her. If he did, the King Cat speaker might have recorded it... Hmm, looking at it this way, is there a reason why the Taiyi Sect is looking for the Devil Monarch's heir?"

Before long, he had made a short-term plan:

One: Find a way to participate in the search for the Black Impermanence.

Two: Fulfill the will for the father who was ashamed of being one.

And the long-term task is to prepare for the third Instance mission, but it's still too early, so there's no need to consider it for now.

"Click!"

He lit a lighter, watching the flame lick the paper. The flame soared high, finally devouring the plan.

After cleaning up the traces, Zhang Yuanqing took his phone and the King Cat speaker, cast Night Wanderer, jumped out of the window, used the air conditioner outdoor unit as a stepping stone, and flipped into the stairwell.

He definitely can't leave from the living room openly now; Grandma will clear him from the family.

"Knock knock!"

After arriving at the stairwell, Zhang Yuanqing knocked on his uncle's door.

The door was opened by his aunt, wearing a form-fitting yoga suit. At the age of almost fifty, she could still maintain her figure like someone in her early thirties, which was very rare.

Plus, being pampered and not doing housework made her look only about forty years old, not at all like the mother of a thirty-year-old son.

"Aunt, where's my uncle?" Zhang Yuanqing peeked inside.

"Who knows where he's gone messing around." His aunt rolled her charming eyes.

"I remember Uncle has a fanny pack. He's not using it anyway, so how about giving it to me?" Zhang Yuanqing stated his purpose.

The King Cat speaker was too uncomfortable in his pocket, and it wasn't worth carrying a backpack for it. After thinking about it, a fanny pack was the best choice.

"It's in the cloakroom; go find it yourself." His aunt stepped aside.

Zhang Yuanqing ran into the cloakroom, rummaged for a while, and found his uncle's flashy purple designer fanny pack. He fastened it around his waist while walking out:

"Thank you, Aunt. Aunt is eternally eighteen."

"Wait!"

His aunt stopped him, gestured with her mouth toward the room behind her, and habitually instructed:

"Take the trash from the living room and bedroom downstairs to throw away."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing refused coldly and ruthlessly: "No way!"

His aunt "Hey-ed," put her hands on her hips, "Your wings have hardened, huh? Hurry up and throw out the trash. Aunt will give you a hundred yuan."

His aunt wasn't as cold and ruthless as his grandmother, clearing him from the family at every turn, but she would use money to corrupt a good young man.

Because she was too lazy to do housework, his aunt had been using Zhang Yuanqing as a child laborer since he was little. Her catchphrase was: Yuanzi, Aunt will give you pocket money, you help Aunt...

Over the years, Zhang Yuanqing had earned a lot of money from his aunt.

"Aunt, I'm not a kid anymore. Don't try to boss me around with money like before."

"Two hundred yuan."

"Aunt, rest assured, I'll take care of the trash." Zhang Yuanqing trotted into the room.

His aunt pulled out two red bills from her exquisite Lv wallet, thought for a moment, and pulled out another one.

"Here!"

"Thank you, Aunt. Aunt is eternally eighteen."

"Cut it out. Why don't you say fifteen?" His aunt gave him a look.

"Aunt, rest assured, I'll call the police right away and have them arrest Uncle."

"Go, go, go..."

His aunt laughed so hard that she bent over.

.......

Zhang Yuanqing took a taxi to the unit. With his strong social skills, he managed to get a mask from the stingy driver, put on his hoodie, and entered the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau with his hands in his pockets.

Entering the glass building, he went up to the second floor and saw Li Dongze and Guan Ya surrounding Wang Tai. Guan Ya smiled and said:

"Not bad. Who would have thought that you'd quietly hook up with a daughter from a wealthy family? What does she see in you? Your nose isn't particularly big either."

Li Dongze leaned on his cane and sighed, shaking his head:

"You can't judge a book by its cover. You can't judge a book by its cover. You, Wang Tai, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes..."

Wang Tai sat at the table with a look of questioning life on his face.

"Oh, our great hero has arrived." Li Dongze's ears twitched, and he came back to his senses, smiling: "Didn't I tell you to rest at home?"

"I was bored anyway, so I came to take a look."

Zhang Yuanqing was about to ask them what they were talking about when he saw Li Dongze nod and his expression became serious. He said:

"Yuanshi, your strategy is more troublesome than we thought..."

"What's wrong?"

"Captain Fu is participating in a meeting at the Elder level. The Elders have a serious disagreement about whether to 'sell' this strategy to the Taiyi Sect."
