Then let them offer their loyalty!

"However... I've always been a cautious person."

"So, I probably won't choose to take the test, right?"

After saying that, he looked at Lin Ting, whose injuries had already healed, and asked, "And you, Minister Lin?"

Lin Ting crossed his arms, looking as imposing and domineering as ever, showing no trace of the way he had been beaten to a pulp by Qiu Tu.

He scratched his head and said, "I probably won't either."

"Although I don't understand what that old schemer Qiu Tu is up to either, but... Qiu Tu clearly told us it was a trap, and we still walked into it, isn't that insane!"

"I don't think anyone would fall into this trap!"

Upon hearing his words, Yu Zhengyi laughed twice and then said, "Then, let's make a bet."

"I bet Director Ellie will definitely take advantage of this."

Hearing his words, Lin Ting couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why?"

Yu Zhengyi smiled mysteriously, then said, "You don't know. Director Ellie has no other faults, but she has one: she's a gambler."

"She was known for her gambling addiction while she was in the shelter."

"I often get paid at the beginning of the month, and I lose it all in less than two days."

"And she has a gambling mentality when it comes to doing things and handling cases; she often goes down a path that leads to the end."

"If you're lucky, you might solve a major case; if you're unlucky... you might go completely astray."

"That's why Speaker Huang put her in the third place."

"After all... the Third Division is responsible for extraordinary matters. These kinds of matters require her to be stubborn and go all the way down a single path."

Upon hearing Yu Zhengyi's explanation of the science, Colonel Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He said, "You 'academics' are really interesting."

After saying that, he added, "However... this time, falling into the trap isn't a big problem."

"After all, even if this really is a trap, what could Qiu Tu possibly do to frame Ellie?"

“For someone of Ellie’s caliber and background, ordinary charges are no longer effective.”

"He can't possibly frame Ellie for colluding with an evil god, can he?"

"Hahaha...."

In the end, even Colonel Lin himself laughed.

Hearing his laughter, Yu Zhengyi and Lin Ting couldn't help but laugh along.

Indeed, just as Lin Chuan said, ordinary charges are now ineffective against Ellie.

Therefore, even though he knew that Ellie might fall into a trap, Yu Zhengyi didn't think of reminding her.

After all... he was also curious about what exactly Qiu Tu's trap was...

While the three were discussing this...

The escort vehicle dispatched by Qiu Tu has also arrived.

The driver was Cao Dabiao, the passenger was Ding Xiaoliu, and the back seat was occupied by Chen Feng and Lao Ying.

It's safe to say... the configuration is maxed out. They're all Qiu Tu's most trusted subordinates.

Looking at this staffing configuration.

Ellie, who had been sitting quietly in the car, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

If there are problems with the goods being transported, the personnel involved will be punished or even demoted.

These four people are Qiu Tu's most trusted confidants, belonging to his true inner circle.

Qiu Tu couldn't be so heartless as to use them as bait, could he?

With that thought in mind, Ellie finally stopped worrying.

She immediately ordered her subordinates, "Charge over there and stop that car."

Upon hearing Ellie's words, several cars rushed over and stopped the car driven by Cao Dabiao.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Chuan, Lin Ting, and Yu Zhengyi on the watchtower all focused their attention and observed the progress of the situation.

At this moment, Ellie, who had already "made her decision," no longer hesitated. She got out of the car, walked to Cao Dabiao's car, knocked on the window, and said with a serious expression, "Hello, routine inspection of the Third Office of the Attendant."

--------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each. Please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 399 Lariel Escapes! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Upon hearing Ellie's words, Cao Dabiao slowly rolled down the car window and then asked warily, "The Third Division of the Attendants' Office?"

Ellie nodded, then took out her identification and handed it over.

Cao Dabiao took the document with both hands, examined it carefully, and even touched the intaglio stamp.

After confirming that the identification was indeed from the Attendant's Office, Cao Dabiao hurriedly and respectfully returned the document to Ellie, then, with a fawning smile, saluted and said, "Good morning, sir!"

The Attendant's Office, as an extension of the power of Huang Shangzong, the Speaker of the Council, wielded immense power.

It not only has the authority to investigate cases and monitor local areas, but also can urgently mobilize local armed forces to assist in investigations during missions.

Therefore, it is normal to perform routine checks when something is wrong during the execution of a task.

Ellie reached out and took back her identification, then expressionlessly examined the car. Looking at Cao Dabiao, she said seriously, "Which department are you from? What mission are you on? Why is there a catastrophic force reaction in the car?"

Upon hearing Ellie's words, Cao Dabiao said obsequiously, "Hello, sir."

“We are a joint task force from the Investigation Department. We are here on the orders of Deputy Director Qiu Tu to hand over an important document to the Security Department.”

"I am Cao Dabiao, the head of the Publicity Section of the Administrative Office of the Investigation Department, who is in charge of this operation. This is Chen Feng, the head of the Inspection Section of the Political Department, and this is..."

As Cao Dabiao introduced the situation, Ellie's gaze also moved over the people in the car.

Soon, her main focus was on a small black box that Chen Feng had been keeping on his lap in the back row.

The small black box was made of black iron and was exquisitely crafted. Faint fluctuations of catastrophic power emanated from within the box, as if tempting Ellie to open it.

She had already made up her mind to rush over and check, but when the moment came, Ellie inexplicably hesitated again...

Somehow, she had a feeling that this whole thing was eerie.

'Have we really fallen into a trap?'

Just as Ellie was hesitating...

Before she knew it, Yan Yan had quietly walked up to her. Then she whispered, "Ellie, maybe we should just forget about it?"

"I have a bad feeling... Have we been tricked, fallen into a trap...?"

It would have been better if Yan Yan hadn't said that.

Upon hearing this, Ellie's gambling instincts immediately kicked in!

Even someone as innocent as Yan Yan could tell there was something wrong with this!

Qiu Tu might actually be doing the opposite!

"When a person dies, their milk flows to the sky; if they don't die, they live forever!" I'll take the gamble!

Thinking this, Ellie pointed directly at the black box on Chen Feng's leg, then waved and said, "Um, let me check it out."

Hearing Ellie's words, Chen Feng looked at her expressionlessly.

Ellie frowned slightly, just about to unleash the pressure of her peak second-tier Cataclysm power.

At that moment, Chen Feng suddenly reached out and handed the black box to Ellie.

Seeing how easily it was obtained, Ellie felt her mind was completely in disarray.

If this isn't a trap, but genuine evidence of Qiu Tu's crimes, would Qiu Tu's trusted confidants really hand over to me so easily?

But... the opposite is also true.

If this really is a trap, shouldn't Qiu Tu and his cronies put on an act?

Why give it to yourself so easily? Aren't you afraid of doubting yourself?

Thinking this, Ellie hesitated before reaching out to take the black box.

The black box felt slightly heavy in her hand, and a new hypothesis began to form in Ellie's mind...

Could it be... that this is neither a trap nor evidence of a crime?

It was just an ordinary delivery of evidence.

Is Qiu Tu deliberately toying with his enemies, wanting to see them get furious?

Thinking this, Ellie's eyes lit up, and she felt it was very likely.

Therefore, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

She pressed the switch on the black box.

The black box slowly opened.

What appeared in the black box was a semi-transparent altar.

A stunningly beautiful woman, no bigger than a palm, lay on the altar.

She wore a black dress, like an elf of the night. Her red lips were like fire, her eyes sparkled, and her sculpted features had an exotic charm.

Upon seeing the beautiful woman in the role, Ellie was stunned for a moment, and then she looked up at Qiu Tu's confidants in the car with an incredulous expression.

Cao Dabiao wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, sir. You read that right. The director ordered us to escort a wisp of the consciousness of an evil god."

"The cataclysmic power fluctuations you sensed may also have originated from her."

"But... don't worry. This evil god is powerless. Furthermore, it's bound to the 'Soul Shackles' altar."

"As long as the altar doesn't break, there won't be any problems."

The moment he finished speaking, Ellie suddenly felt a sharp, piercing pain in her brain! The world spun around her, and she felt as if she was about to fall over!

She instinctively wanted to help the person next to her!

As a result, she simply pulled her hand away, and the black box in her hand seemed to have gained dozens of kilograms of weight, and it immediately slipped from her grasp!

next second!

Screams, the sound of things falling, the sound of glass shattering! They wove together into a symphony in Ellie's ears!

The whole world was spinning before Ellie's eyes! She couldn't tell what was happening at all!

She could only support Yan Yan beside her, struggling to keep herself upright.

And so, a full two or three seconds passed.

When the world spinning wildly before Ellie's eyes slowly came to a stop, she finally saw clearly what had happened!

The black box fell to the ground, the "soul shackles" shattered into three or four pieces, and Lariro on the altar was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu's close associates in the car were frantically searching around and making phone calls.

'Oh no, something's happened...'

As the head of the Third Department of the Attendants, Ellie knew better than anyone how troublesome it would be to let the evil god escape.

Evil gods are humanity's greatest enemy, bar none.

They are alien beings with advanced intelligence, and each of them has the potential to grow into a fourth or fifth rank.

Advanced intelligence and power have made the catastrophic creatures, which are more numerous and powerful than evil gods, humanity's greatest enemy.

Killing an evil god is a great achievement, but capturing one is an even greater achievement!

Therefore... letting the evil god go is certainly a major mistake!

No one knows what terrible consequences will result from letting this evil god go, so once a problem arises, accountability, punishment, and suspension will follow!

But that's not the real problem. The real problem is... the security bureau and the executive branch might suspect that the person who made the mistake has been infiltrated by an evil god.

Therefore, various inspections and investigations will emerge one after another.

'A trap! A real trap!'
