Chapter 1531 The Return of Migo
Beijing City.
Squad 006 headquarters.
“Sis, why is your suitcase so heavy? I… I can barely lift it anymore.”
Su Zhe was struggling to carry a black wheeled suitcase through the alley, drenched in sweat and looking like he was about to collapse.
Walking ahead of him, Su Yuan was carrying two wheeled suitcases with her bare hands while also wearing a bulging tactical backpack. A vein throbbed on her forehead as she turned back to give Su Zhe a disapproving glare, taking large strides toward the vermilion courtyard gate.
“Sis, sis, wait for me…” Su Zhe wiped away his sweat, panting heavily as he hurried to catch up.
Knock, knock, knock!
Su Yuan knocked gently, and soon a figure opened the large door of the courtyard house.
“Su Yuan, you’re here?!” Li Zhenzhen was delighted to see these two familiar faces after so long and gave Su Yuan a hug.
The latter smiled slightly, “Packing took a bit more time, so we’re two days late.”
“No problem, we haven’t been doing much these past few days anyway. Come in quickly.”
Li Zhenzhen took the luggage from Su Yuan’s hands and was surprised by its weight. “What’s in here? Why is it so heavy?”
“Let’s talk inside,” Su Yuan said.
“Why aren’t you helping me with my luggage? My hands are cramping!” Su Zhe complained from behind.
Li Zhenzhen gave him a disdainful look. “You’re a grown man and can’t even carry this much? Look at Su Yuan carrying four times what you are!”
Under Li Zhenzhen’s guidance, the Su siblings found an empty room to settle in. Just as they walked out, they heard two voices coming from the back courtyard.
“…I still think ‘Celestial Court’ is more appropriate.”
“Heh, that’s so lame.”
“Then what do you suggest?!”
“‘Demon.'”
“Pah! That’s incredibly tacky!”
“We’re calling it ‘Demon.'”
“I’m the squad leader, I make the decisions.”
“Temporarily. When we get officially approved, I’ll be the leader.”
“You? Really?”
“Don’t agree? On what grounds do you object?”
“You’re asking for it!”
“…”
By the time the three of them reached the back courtyard, Lu Baoyou’s forehead was nearly touching Fang Mo’s. The two were staring at each other so intensely that sparks seemed about to fly.
“These two haven’t changed a bit,” Su Zhe couldn’t help but comment.
“What are you two arguing about?”
“The codename for when our squad becomes official.” Fang Mo glared fiercely at Lu Baoyou before continuing, “I think ‘Celestial Court’ is most appropriate, but he insists on ‘Demon’… Why give a special squad such an ominous name?”
“‘Celestial Court’? Sounds like something an elementary school kid would come up with,” Lu Baoyou sneered.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Li Zhenzhen quickly pulled them apart. Just as she was about to say something, Chen Han walked in from outside.
He noticed the two new faces, Su Zhe and Su Yuan, and raised an eyebrow: “These two are…?”
“Oh, our new squad members, Su Zhe and Su Yuan.”
Chen Han nodded slightly, “You’ve arrived at the perfect time. Captain Lin just sent word that he has a mission for you.”
“A mission?”
At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up except for Su Zhe’s.
Their reserve squad had just been established, and although they weren’t at full strength yet, that wouldn’t stop them from taking action. This would be their first mission toward becoming an official squad!
“What kind of mission?”
“For the details, go find him at Beijing University. He’ll explain everything.”
“Beijing University?” Su Zhe pondered thoughtfully. “So this ‘mystery’ is at a university? If it requires Captain Lin’s intervention, it must be quite challenging…”
Fang Mo gave him a strange look.
“You’re overthinking it…”
…
With the reserve squad moving at full speed, they arrived at Beijing University in just over twenty minutes.
Fang Mo, Lu Baoyou, Li Zhenzhen, Su Zhe, and Su Yuan stood in a row outside a classroom door, looking like students being punished to stand in the hallway, staring intently at the classroom before them.
“Wait… weren’t we supposed to find Captain Lin? Why are we waiting here?” Su Zhe asked in confusion.
“He’s inside.”
“In there? What’s he doing in there?”
“Studying philosophy.”
“…What the hell??”
The group waited outside for more than ten minutes until the bell finally rang. Students streamed past them, and after a while, Lin Qiye appeared before them.
“You’re here? Let’s go, we’ll talk while walking,” Lin Qiye nodded to them.
Everyone obediently followed him.
“Captain Lin, why are you attending classes? Is this part of the mission?” Su Yuan asked seriously.
“Uh… sort of, but I have a different mission for you.” Lin Qiye explained the situation with the remnant souls to everyone, and their expressions immediately turned strange.
“So our mission is to find remnant souls?”
Li Zhenzhen seemed somewhat disappointed. “I thought we’d be dealing with some powerful ‘mystery’ or something… isn’t this too simple?”
“Simple?” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. “First of all, remnant souls aren’t easy to find. The naked eye can barely distinguish them during daytime… By the way, did you bring the equipment I asked you to get from headquarters?”
“We did!” Su Zhe put down his backpack and took out several specially crafted silver-threaded glasses, handing them to Lin Qiye.
“These are standard prohibited items from the Baili family. They can detect special energy fields within your visual range, including remnant souls. Wearing these will make it easier to see them… Secondly, these souls can possess people, so make sure they don’t make the possessed do anything inappropriate.
Finally, these remnant souls are all students who took their own lives in the last century. They’re not enemies, so don’t harm them when bringing them back to the classroom.”
Lin Qiye distributed the glasses, keeping three pairs for himself, An Qingyu, and Li Yifei. The glasses were very light and looked no different from ordinary glasses.
“You have only three days to complete this mission. Can you do it?”
“Yes!” Fang Mo and the others nodded solemnly.
“Go then.”
As the reserve squad members dispersed, An Qingyu followed Lin Qiye in his wheelchair, chuckling, “You’re starting to look like a father figure now.”
“They’re the juniors we’ve trained ourselves. We should look after them.”
An Qingyu was about to say something more when his gaze suddenly froze. His fingers involuntarily curled, and a gray hue rapidly spread across his eyes!
“Cough, cough, cough…” An Qingyu bent over in pain, his body trembling in the wheelchair, nearly falling off and startling the passing students who rushed forward to help.
“Qingyu!” Lin Qiye and Jiang Er were both alarmed and quickly moved toward him. At that moment, Lin Qiye seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head in a certain direction!
“This aura… is it Migo?!”
