Lin Rui returned to Lin Mansion, first went to the Imperial City Department to report sick leave to the Commander, then contacted Han Baxian to give him a heads up.
Due to the recent attack by the Shadow Killing Team, he was seriously injured and needed a few days to recover.
Of course, he would still keep an eye on all the official business of the Spy Detection Bureau and the negotiations with the Outer Heaven Demon. He just temporarily couldn't go into the office or handle some of the fieldwork that required his presence.
That very night, Lin Rui's consciousness returned to Ninth Base City to perform surgery on his main body.
This time he was implanting the SSS+ rank Armament 'Ten Thousand Thunder Bones' and 'Great Sun Bones', replacing all the bones in his body except for the skull.
