Upon hearing these words, Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment. He had imagined many scenarios, but he had not expected this one. "Director, is this mission... very troublesome?"
"Yes," Nalan Shuo did not evade the question. "I've asked the Provincial Office to investigate, and this Ghost Script has appeared before, it's not the first time.

The last occurrence was 17 years ago when it took away two of our predecessors from the Patrol Defense Office."
The record mentioned it appeared four times, but in reality, it might have appeared even more. Over a century-long span, it has reaped countless vibrant lives. At that moment, Yang Xiao understood the dangerous situation Nalan Shuo was facing.
"Have they found any other clues?" Yang Xiao asked.
