Free Web NovelChapter 547: Chapter 301: The Fallen Immortal’s Bizarre Tricks and Ancient Grain-Growing Immortals
The autumn feeling grows stronger, and the days become shorter.
Even before the workday ends, dusk has already settled outside the window.
Snow Mountain Peak crouches on the windowsill, cracking open the window slightly, using its nose to sniff the autumn breeze outside!
It squints its eyes, sniffing while frowning.
In the wind... is this the smell of spicy chicken? Not bad! I’ll get a portion from the cafeteria later!
And the smell of... purple rice? It’s so-so, not as good as the rice from Fox Mountain.
And the smell of... fried spring rolls? Also nice!
But since they’re already frying spring rolls, why not fry some radish balls as well?
Indeed, after the incident at the fashion academy this morning, they didn’t stay for a meal, missing out on the academy’s radish balls, which left Snow Mountain Peak quite upset!
Fang Xiaoyu finished writing the last document, stretched lazily, and got up to move to the window.
"Immortal Beast, are you unhappy?"
Snow Mountain Peak had a sudden idea!
It pointed at Fang Xiaoyu’s phone!
...
Next to her, Bai Mo, about to leave work, received a high-level daily report from the Committee.
[Recently discovered that some building developers colluded with a design institute to privately alter blueprints, developing an estate into a peculiar shape. Upon investigation, it was confirmed as an Immortal crime...]
What?
Bai Mo scrolled down to see the aerial photos to check how peculiar it was.
"Huh?"
The contours of the buildings, paths, greenbelt, canopies, and other facilities of that community, when connected, actually formed a bizarre pathway character.
It wasn’t from the Alchemy Pathway, and Bai Mo didn’t recognize it.
He continued reading the daily report.
[...Upon investigation, this character likely belongs to the Immortal Artifact Pathway, but the sequence is too high, and we cannot determine its exact meaning]
[All related parties have mysteriously died]
Bai Mo clicked his tongue.
Does this mean it turned into a mysterious unsolved case?
The Immortal Committee could change or demolish this newly built community, but the meaning of the character and its impact remain unknown.
Bai Mo continued to read the next daily report.
[Today, it was discovered that a certain cosmetic surgery hospital in Sichun City had altered nearly a hundred female clients to have the same appearance]
[After bumping into each other at the shopping mall and having a conversation, three female clients reported the cosmetic surgery hospital to the regulatory department]
[The regulatory department transferred the case to the Immortal Committee; by the time the investigation team arrived at the beauty clinic, the person in charge had already fled]
[The suspect is suspected to belong to Sequence Eight or Sequence Seven, the pathway is unknown, and the motive behind the crime is unclear]
Bai Mo clicked his tongue.
In recent years, such incidents have been quite frequent!
Ancient Immortals instruct their disciples to create various bizarre cases, but no one dies, and no one gets hurt, so it seems to have little impact.
Just like this beauty clinic incident, if one insists, aside from the doppelgangers, those female clients weren’t harmed.
At least, not yet.
"Is the Immortal Committee broadcasting the case in the hopes that someone happens to have relevant knowledge?"
But based on feedback from similar past cases, no one really understands these quirky tricks from Ancient Immortals...
Next to him, Fang Xiaoyu watched as Snow Mountain Peak’s fluffy fox claw operated the phone, becoming gradually dumbfounded.
"It actually knows a food delivery app?"
"It can actually find a shop that sells fried snacks?"
"It actually knows how to place an order?"
"It actually knows how to claim discount coupons?"
Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly explained.
"Only specific stores allow those, we don’t need it for this order."
Snow Mountain Peak nodded, and having done all it could, handed the phone back to Fang Xiaoyu, stretching its head to watch Fang Xiaoyu operate.
"Awo Awo Awo!"
After all, it is just a fox.
Remembering the delivery app’s icon and finding the thumbnail of fried balls in the app was already quite an achievement!
It can’t be expected to read the text!
Fang Xiaoyu checked the time.
"Expert Bai Mo, the fried balls the Immortal Beast wants, let’s not send them to the office, but send them to your home!
"Considering the delivery time, you’ll be home just in time to receive it."
Bai Mo nodded, said thanks, and continued to read the daily report.
Snow Mountain Peak, however, tilted its head, looking at Fang Xiaoyu with a curious expression.
"Awo?"
Fang Xiaoyu’s not eating together?
That’s a bit awkward!
Bai Mo flipped through the daily report, and at the last article, there actually was a red-themed good news bulletin!
[The first day of the Immortal Census in West State City was a great success!]
Bai Mo looked closely, realizing this report was indeed written by Chairman Chen Shu.
[Today, we checked a hundred thousand people]
[Identified nineteen hidden Immortal Seekers]
[Among them, ninety-seven at Sequence Nine, six were criminals, one registered, and the remaining ten joined the mobile patrol team]
The Committee has three approaches to dealing with the identified hidden Immortal Seekers.
For criminals, they are imprisoned, judged, and sentenced according to the crime.
For those not guilty, they can apply to join the mobile patrol team, becoming the Immortal Committee’s outposts.
Not guilty ones who don’t want to fight and only want to keep their heads down just need to be registered on record.
[Among them, one from Sequence Eight has been registered on record]
[Among them, one from Sequence Seven committed serious crimes and has been imprisoned in the Immortal Involvement Prison]
Dozens of comments below.
[Good news in the daily report for once, truly delightful]
[The detector can even spot Sequence Seven? Awesome! So morale-boosting!]
Chairman Chen Shu replied.
[I can only say it’s a certain probability, hahaha]
Bai Mo smirked.
Feels like that guy’s really thick-skinned, daring to boast like that.
Below was a list of Ye Han’s crimes, including using Immortal Techniques to cloud the minds of campus beauties, control female teachers, and delude female stars... Actually, such a criminal is distasteful as distasteful can be, but compared to those peculiar Ancient Immortal tricks, it still feels somewhat grounded! Deceiving women with Immortal Techniques has about the same consequences as deceiving them without; the sentencing might just be a tad heavier.
