# Chapter 1531: Migo Reappears
Shangjing City.
006 Squad's temporary quarters.
"Sis, why is your suitcase so heavy? I... I can't lift it anymore."
Su Zhe was struggling to drag a black rolling suitcase through the narrow alley, drenched in sweat, looking like he was about to collapse.
Walking ahead of him, carrying two rolling suitcases by hand while also wearing a bulging tactical backpack, Su Yuan's temple throbbed visibly. She shot Su Zhe a frustrated glance over her shoulder and quickened her pace toward the vermillion-red courtyard gate.
"Sis, sis, wait for me..." Su Zhe gasped for breath, mopping his brow, and hurried to catch up.
Knock knock knock—!
Su Yuan knocked gently on the door, and soon a figure opened the gate of the courtyard compound.
"Su Yuan, you're here?!" Li Zhenzhen's eyes lit up at the sight of these two familiar faces. She happily hugged Su Yuan.
The latter smiled faintly. "We spent extra time packing. We're two days late."
"No worries, we haven't had anything to do these past few days anyway. Come on in."
Li Zhenzhen took the luggage from Su Yuan's hands, then paused in surprise. "What's in this? It's so heavy!"
"Let's go inside first." Su Yuan said.
"What about helping me with my luggage? My hands are about to cramp up!" Su Zhe complained bitterly from behind.
Li Zhenzhen shot him a disgusted look. "A grown man, can't even carry that much? Look at Su Yuan carrying three or four times your load!"
The Su siblings followed Li Zhenzhen's lead and found an empty room to settle in. Just as they stepped out, two voices drifted in from the backyard.
"...I still think 'Celestial Court' is more fitting."
"Hmph. Tacky."
"Then what do you suggest?!"
"'Demon.'"
"Tch! So clichéd it hurts!"
"It'll be 'Demon.'"
"I'm the captain. I make the final call."
"For now. When we get officially recognized, the captain will be me."
"You think so?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Want to die?"
"..."
By the time the three of them reached the backyard, Lu Baoyou and Fang Mo were practically forehead-to-forehead, their glaring eyes threatening to spark an explosion in the air between them.
"Those two haven't changed at all." Su Zhe couldn't help but mutter.
"What are you all talking about?"
"The squad's codename after we become official." Fang Mo glared daggers at Lu Baoyou before speaking slowly. "I think 'Celestial Court' is the best choice. He insists on 'Demon'... It's a special operations squad, yet he wants to give it such a sinister name."
"'Celestial Court'? Sounds like something a primary schooler came up with." Lu Baoyou sneered.
Just as the two looked ready to come to blows again, Li Zhenzhen hastily pulled them apart. Before she could say anything, Chen Han walked in through the gate.
He noticed Su Zhe and Su Yuan—two new faces—and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Who are these two?"
"Oh, our new squad members. Su Zhe and Su Yuan."
Chen Han gave a slight nod. "Perfect timing. Captain Lin just sent word. He found a mission for you."
"A mission?"
At those two words, everyone except Su Zhe perked up simultaneously.
Their reserve squad had only just been established. Though the roster wasn't complete yet, it didn't stop them from taking on independent operations. This would be their first mission on the path to official squad status!
"What kind of mission?"
"The specifics, you'll have to ask him yourself at Shangjing University. He'll explain everything."
"Shangjing University?" Su Zhe pondered thoughtfully. "Is the 'Mystery' at the university this time? For Commander Lin and the others to get involved, this must be serious..."
Fang Mo gave him an odd look.
"You're overthinking it..."
...
Under the reserve squad's full-speed advance, it took just over twenty minutes to reach Shangjing University.
Fang Mo, Lu Baoyou, Li Zhenzhen, Su Zhe, and Su Yuan stood in a line outside a classroom door, looking like students who'd been sent out into the hallway for a scolding by the teacher. They gazed longingly at the classroom before them.
"I don't understand... Didn't we come to find Captain Lin? Why do we have to wait out here?" Su Zhe asked, confused.
"He's inside."
"Here? Doing what in there?"
"Studying philosophy."
"...What??"
The group waited outside for over ten minutes before the class dismissal bell finally rang. Students streamed past them, and it was a long while before Lin Qiye finally appeared before them.
"You're here? Let's go. We can talk while we walk." Lin Qiye gave them a slight nod.
The group obediently followed beside him.
"Commander Lin, why are you guys attending classes? Is that part of the mission too?" Su Yuan asked seriously.
"Um... kind of, but the mission I have for you is something else." Lin Qiye explained the matter of the residual souls to the group. Their expressions immediately shifted to something complicated.
"So our mission is to find residual souls?"
Li Zhenzhen sounded somewhat disappointed. "I thought we'd be dealing with some incredibly powerful 'Mystery'... This seems way too easy."
"Easy?" Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. "First of all, residual souls aren't easy to find. They're nearly impossible to spot with the naked eye during the day... By the way, did you bring the equipment I told you to get from headquarters?"
"We brought it!" Su Zhe set down his backpack and pulled out several specialized silver-wire glasses, handing them to Lin Qiye.
"These are standard-issue forbidden artifacts from the Baili family. They can detect special energy fields within the wearer's field of vision, and residual souls are among them. Wearing these will make it much easier for you to spot them... Second, these residual souls can possess people, so be careful they don't do anything inappropriate after possessing someone.
"Third, these residual souls all belong to students who committed suicide last century. They're not enemies. When you're bringing them back to the classroom, don't hurt them."
After distributing the glasses, Lin Qiye set aside three pairs for himself, An Qingyu, and Li Yifei. The material was surprisingly light, and externally they looked no different from ordinary glasses.
"You have three days to complete this mission. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" Fang Mo and the others nodded solemnly.
"Go ahead."
The reserve squad members dispersed. An Qingyu wheeled herself forward on her wheelchair, catching up to Lin Qiye from behind, and said with a light smile: "You've started to look like the responsible family head now."
"These are all juniors we personally trained. We have to look out for them."
Just as An Qingyu was about to say more, her gaze suddenly froze. Her fingers curled involuntarily, and a gray pallor spread rapidly across her eyes!
"Cough cough cough cough..." An Qingyu doubled over in agony, coughing violently. Her body trembled in the wheelchair, swaying dangerously as she nearly tumbled off. Students passing by were startled and immediately rushed forward to help.
"Qingyu!" Lin Qiye and Jiang Er both startled, moving toward her quickly. At that moment, Lin Qiye seemed to sense something and abruptly turned to look in a certain direction!
"This aura... it's Migo?!"
