Chapter 797: Love God's Agent

"Love God Cupid?!"

Hearing this response, Baili Pangpang's jaw dropped in shock. "Why... why would a god like that need an agent? Has Great Xia's birth rate dropped so low that even the gods can't stand it anymore?"

"Why Cupid chose her as his agent is something only Li Zhenzhen herself knows." Zhang Zhengting shrugged. "Although it's a love god with basically no combat ability, it is still a deity. If Cupid hadn't chosen Li Zhenzhen as his agent that day, none of us would have imagined that the love god actually existed...

After that, Cupid was added to the list of deities observed by Great Xia, assigned the number 019."

"So Li Zhenzhen's God's Ruins? Is it also related to love?"

"Li Zhenzhen's God's Ruins is sequence 030, [False Love]. Currently, she's only at the 'Lantern' realm and can summon a bow and arrows of the love god. Anyone struck by those arrows will develop feelings of love toward her designated target for a short period..."

"So it's at the end of the God's Ruins sequence..." Lin Qiye nodded. "But even at the bottom of the sequence, it's still a God's Ruins."

"Indeed. That's why her growth has been closely monitored by headquarters. She's on the roster for this year's Night Watch recruit training camp. Although she's still young, these are special circumstances—Great Xia needs this deity's agent."

"Understood."

Zhang Zhengting and the rest of Team 006 members briefly greeted Lin Qiye and the others. Although they were all genuinely happy to see Lin Qiye's team arrive, they were clearly troubled, their thoughts still worried about the young girl who had run away from home.

"Everyone, I'm truly sorry."

Zhang Zhengting said with a face full of apology. "The first time I bring everyone to tour our team, something like this happens... The dinner tonight probably won't happen. We need to hurry out and find Zhenzhen.

There are still a few 'Pond' realm mysteries lurking within Shangjing City, and several of our team members are still tracking. But these mysteries have temporarily vanished. I'm worried something might happen to Zhenzhen."

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses. "Your Team 006 oversees such a large city. Don't you have a way to conduct a large-scale search?"

"Zhenzhen has been following us on operations for years, so she knows our tracking methods inside and out. Regular surveillance won't catch her. If the captain were here, we could locate her position right away... Unfortunately, he's still in the meeting, and we can't reach him by phone."

Zhang Zhengting sighed.

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, glanced back at An Qingyu and the others behind him, and gave a slight nod.

"We can help." Lin Qiye said to Zhang Zhengting. "When it comes to finding people, our team has some tricks up our sleeves..."

"This..." Zhang Zhengting hesitated. "You're guests after all. It would be too much trouble for you to..."

"No trouble at all." Baili Pangpang grinned. He pointed at the brand-new floor tiles on the ground. "Consider this our apology for shattering your tiles two years ago."

Zhang Zhengting heard this, paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Then we'll trouble you."

Zhang Zhengting found a photograph from the house and handed it to Lin Qiye. "This was taken of Zhenzhen a couple of days ago."

Lin Qiye memorized Li Zhenzhen's appearance and passed the photo to An Qingyu, who glanced at it and nodded.

"By the way, I have a question." Jialan asked in confusion, "Did this child run away because she doesn't want to attend the training camp?"

"That's..."

Zhang Zhengting scratched his head. "It shouldn't be... She's been demanding to join the training camp and officially become a Night Watch to return to Shangjing City for several years now."

"Then why did she run away?"

Zhang Zhengting exchanged glances with the other Team 006 members and sighed helplessly.

...

Alleyway.

The white cat with heterochromatic eyes watched the extremely vigilant Li Zhenzhen, lightly leaping down from the broken wall.

Before its body had even landed, it quickly twisted and transformed. In the blink of an eye, it became a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, landing steadily on the ground.

He stood up, calmly looking at the shocked Li Zhenzhen, and spoke:

"Don't worry. Like you, I'm also human."

The vigilance in Li Zhenzhen's eyes did not fade. Her bow remained aimed at the boy.

"My name is Fang Mo." The boy spoke again. "I was watching when you dealt with those thugs just now. Your ability shouldn't have any offensive capability. It only makes others fall in love with you, right?"

Li Zhenzhen's brow furrowed slightly.

Fang Mo gazed into Li Zhenzhen's eyes, not avoiding the direction of the arrow aimed at him. He walked forward slowly, the hem of his white shirt swaying gently in the breeze.

"Now you're pointing this arrow at me. Do you also want to make me, like them, fall in love with you?" Fang Mo walked up to Li Zhenzhen and pressed his chest against the tip of the heart-shaped arrow, speaking calmly,

"Go ahead. Try it."

Li Zhenzhen stood frozen in place.

She wanted to shoot the arrow, but the moment this boy spoke... for some reason, she instinctively resisted the urge to fire the arrow.

"What do you actually want?!" Li Zhenzhen asked, half embarrassed and half annoyed.

"I want to ask you about someone. He's also a deity's agent."

"Who?"

Fang Mo looked into her eyes, speaking word by word: "Lin Qiye."

"Lin Qiye?" The name sounded familiar to Li Zhenzhen. After thinking, she said, "The captain of the Fifth Special Squad? I've heard of him, but never met him."

"Fifth Special Squad..."

Fang Mo murmured this name to himself. "What's that?"

Hearing this counter-question, Li Zhenzhen was stunned. "Aren't you a Night Watch?"

"Night Watch? What's that?"

"..." Li Zhenzhen asked in confusion, "How do you know about deity's agents if you don't even know what the Night Watch is?"

"Some special channels." Fang Mo deflected vaguely. "So, can you tell me about the Night Watch?"

"No."

Li Zhenzhen didn't hesitate in the slightest. "This is a classified unit. I can't just share information with outsiders."

The existence of the Night Watch was a secret to the general public. Although Li Zhenzhen had lived with the Shangjing City squad for so long and wasn't an official Night Watch member, she was very familiar with these rules and regulations. She had assumed Fang Mo was also a Night Watch, but apparently that wasn't the case.

Not disclosing the Night Watch's existence to anyone outside the organization—this was the rule.

Fang Mo quietly watched her eyes, and a strange light flickered in his gaze.

He opened his mouth and slowly asked:

"Are you really... not going to tell me?"
