Chapter 140 Mountain Eagle

After searching for another half circle, he finally found the conference room. Actually, it couldn't really be called a conference room anymore, because when he pushed the door open, a Japanese-style interior came into view.

No wonder Zhou Ze had gone to the wrong place before; there were only two conference halls on this floor, and their decoration styles were completely different. Zhou Ze subconsciously thought they would choose the slightly more serious venue.

Those lunatics really couldn't be understood with normal people's thinking.

Tatami mats, small tables, though no drinks or anything were placed on them. About twenty people were already sitting facing each other on either side. Some looked very nervous, a kind of tension that was plain to see on their faces.

Others looked more relaxed, not sitting so rigidly, but still maintaining a certain level of decorum.

There were no absurd or deliberately attention-grabbing antics.

After all, this was a gathering convened by the Enforcers. A powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, true, but there was no need to rush to offer oneself up.

By the conference room entrance, a short man was sitting against the wall, holding a pair of nail clippers and trimming his nails.

When Zhou Ze came in, he looked up at Zhou Ze, a flash of purple light in his eyes. For a moment, Zhou Ze had the illusion that the other man's gaze was piercing through him.

"Heh..."

The other man's lips curled into a smile.

"Quite an interesting aura-masking trinket. Which Inspector sent it?"

This should be someone from the Enforcers. Ordinary constables rarely gave off such a sharp feeling.

Without waiting for Zhou Ze to answer, the short man waved his hand and said,

"Go in and sit down."

Zhou Ze nodded to him, walked to the lowest end of the room, and knelt down.

Then,

Everyone just sat there kneeling for an hour.

Yes,

An hour!

There were no refreshments on the table, nor was there a projector playing a movie or something to keep everyone entertained. They just sat there facing each other, staring blankly.

After sitting for ten minutes, Zhou Ze's back started to ache. A person who usually liked to lie on the sofa really wasn't used to this posture. It was terribly uncomfortable.

He immediately leaned back, abandoning the kneeling position in favor of an unstandard cross-legged sit, a bit like how people drank and chatted on a warm kang in northeastern China.

A few constables had chosen the same posture as him,

But most of the constables still chose to maintain the standard kneeling position. Understandable; after all, only a few people could show their world-weary side in front of their superiors.

Actually, Boss Zhou really wanted to make himself look "respectful," but it was just too difficult. He was used to being lazy, and he really couldn't bring himself to revere the Enforcers. He had just killed three of them yesterday.

Sitting across from Boss Zhou was a lady who looked to be about forty years old.

She was wearing jeans,

Her figure was not well-maintained,

Bulging all over, from top to bottom. She was full-figured, but not fat, and well-preserved.

Because they were facing each other, the other woman was also sizing him up.

Anyway, their eyes met, but no one spoke or chatted.

There was no such thing as exchanging flirtatious glances; this was like a completely disguised masquerade. It wasn't a matter of just wearing a mask on your face as a formality; everyone here had changed bodies.

Although, most officers who underwent rebirth, if they were male in life, would probably choose a male body, and if they were female in life, would probably choose a female body.

But you couldn't rule out the possibility of someone who was male in life wanting to experience being openly cross-dressed;

Nor could you rule out the possibility of someone who was female in life wanting to change position...

There were quite a few people like that, such as Lin Ke, who was a strong career woman in middle age in life, but ended up in the body of a little loli after rebirth.

When you thought that the lady in front of you might also be someone like that, it was hard to be interested anymore. For some people, maybe it was all the same with the lights off,

But Boss Zhou couldn't do it.

Finally, after a few more constables came in and sat down, the short man who had been sitting against the wall by the door closed the door.

However, the short man didn't go in, but continued to lean against the wall by the door, looking down, continuing to trim his nails.

Immediately afterwards,

A figure actually fell from the ceiling, landing steadily in the seat of honor.

Everyone opened their mouths together,

Including Boss Zhou.

Holy crap,

There had actually been someone hiding on the ceiling the whole time!

The problem was, no one had noticed.

That person's hair was very long. Generally speaking, waist-length hair was already considered very long. Fewer and fewer women in real life had super long hair, but this person's hair was long enough to completely cover his entire body from head to toe, and still drag along the ground for a long, long way.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment,

The hair suddenly contracted to the length of a normal young punk,

Revealing his face.

That's right,

It was him,

A man with a melon-seed-shaped face,

Looking effeminate,

Very yin and soft,

But his lips and eye shadow were very thick.

Boss Zhou glanced at the other man and then subconsciously looked away.

No way,

The idea that a "yin and soft" man could also be good-looking, which Lao Xu had been instilling in his heart for years, was directly shattered by this guy's appearance.

The other man tapped his fingers lightly on the small table,

And said:

"Enforcers, Mountain Hawk."

Getting straight to the point, he introduced himself.

Oh, what a terrible name.

It instantly brought to mind that vulture who was killed in various ways in films and TV shows for decades.

Next,

Zhou Ze saw all the constables shift their bodies to face the head of the Enforcers. Boss Zhou had no choice but to follow suit.

"Greetings, Lord."

"Greetings, Lord."

Do you even know what the Enforcers are before you greet him as Lord?

Zhou Ze muttered inwardly. It wasn't strange for old Inspectors like Attorney An and Geng Chen to know about the Enforcers, but these constables probably didn't know, right?

After all, the Enforcers had been confined for decades.

"By order of the Underworld, to apprehend those who have defected. The reason I've summoned you here is that I need your assistance."

Mountain Hawk stood up.

His hair shortened a little more,

More precisely,

His hair was always in a state of "dynamic" flux, giving people the feeling of countless small snakes stretching and contracting on top of his head.

"The Enforcers control the Underworld's punishments. Within our scope of authority, we can act first and report later.

I don't care how you did things before, nor do I care about your specific abilities or attitudes.

My requirements are very simple:

From now on,

Anyone who dares to be perfunctory will be killed!

Anyone who dares to deceive their superiors will be killed!

Anyone who dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy will be killed!

Some of you may be a bit arrogant, or perhaps have someone backing you..."

As he said this,

Mountain Hawk's gaze actually swept towards Zhou Ze.

Boss Zhou hurriedly lowered his noble head in a restrained manner.

It must be because Attorney An's playing card was discovered when he came in, leading them to mistakenly believe that he had an Inspector in the Underworld backing him.

But in reality, that Inspector was his little brother...

However, there was no need to explain in this situation.

"But in my eyes, none of that matters. Whether you're an Inspector or a Judge, it's all the same. We Enforcers do things decisively.

We're the mad dogs of the Underworld. Whoever doesn't listen, we bite!

Those are my demands. Any questions?"

"We respectfully obey your orders, Lord!"

"We respectfully obey your orders, Lord!"

Boss Zhou was amused.

Damn,

Did you rehearse your lines before I got here?

How can you all speak so uniformly?

Next was the assignment of tasks. Yangzhou City was neither too big nor too small, roughly the same size as Tong City.

But this wasn't a door-to-door census. If all these constables and their ghost subordinates were sent out, it would be like dropping hundreds of small detection radars, covering a very wide area.

Zhou Ze received the map of the area he needed to search, but from beginning to end, no one had told them who they were looking for.

It was ridiculous.

They had called everyone here to arrest someone,

But they hadn't said who they were arresting.

However, Zhou Ze waited for a long time and didn't see any other constables asking this question. He immediately sneered inwardly, a bunch of cowards.

Then,

Boss Zhou didn't ask either, and walked out of the conference hall.

While waiting for the elevator, the first elevator went down. Only Zhou Ze and the lady who had been sitting across from him were left waiting for the next elevator.

Zhou Ze felt someone touching his sleeve. He looked down and saw the short man. The short man had many pockmarks on his face. When he smiled, his mouth looked very big and wide.

"Don't be nervous."

Zhou Ze nodded, indicating that he wasn't nervous.

"You're the constable from Tong City, right?"

"Yes."

"Tong City is a good place."

"Were you from Tong City in life?"

"Me? I'm from the Northeast."

"Um..."

"Hehe, I'm just very interested in that aura-masking trinket you have. Which Inspector gave it to you?"

Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment.

Clearly,

Telling the truth was impossible. He couldn't afford to offend An Buqi. In Hell, he was probably hated by everyone.

The other man seemed to be suspicious. Who knew if this guy was another one of the people Attorney An had scammed back then.

"Old Master Feng gave it to me," Zhou Ze replied.

He couldn't say An Buqi's name, but he couldn't just name anyone either. Lao Zhangtou wouldn't do, and saying Geng Chen would directly cause an uproar.

Besides, the guy in front of him clearly saw something about the origin of this playing card, so he could only say Feng Si, who had a very close relationship with An Buqi. No matter what, Attorney An was a convict, but Feng Si was currently thriving in the Underworld.

The short man narrowed his eyes, said "Oh," and then asked:

"Are you very close to him?"

"It's just the Lord's favor."

"Oh, is that so?" The short man suddenly turned sideways, looked at the lady behind Zhou Ze,

And called out:

"Fourth Master, is what this kid is saying true?"
