Security Administration, Administrator Dormitory.

The girl quietly lay on the small bed, her long, black, and shiny hair cascading like a waterfall onto the pillow, with a few strands playfully resting on her fair cheek.

Her face was serene, with a faint smile at the corner of her lips, seemingly immersed in a sweet dream.

Suddenly, the girl abruptly opened her eyes, a few strands of Power of Death gathered in her palm.

She watched the man walking in warily, and asked:

"Who are you?"

Cao Yi smiled gently:

"Don’t be nervous."

He sat on the stool by the girl’s window and said:

"I’m not a bad guy."

The girl wrinkled her delicate nose, displeased:

"You entered a girl’s room without even knowing how to knock?"

Cao Yi apologized with a smile:

"Sorry, I’m used to it, it’s my fault."

The girl was momentarily stunned:

"You’re used to it? You entered my room without knocking before? Do you know me?"

There was a trace of unwillingness in Cao Yi’s eyes:

"Do you really not remember anything?"

He was desperate to know how Xie Qilin managed to piece together the Demon Puzzle on his own.

If the Eight-foot Bride had memory, she might know something.

In the girl’s eyes, Cao Yi’s trace of unwillingness seemed like a familiar person facing her memory loss with a sense of helplessness.

The girl nodded eagerly:

"Tell me quickly, who on earth am I, and who are you?"

This girl was the brain-dead volunteer.

Cao Yi pulled out his phone, with information on a girl inside, and asked:

"Do you remember Zhao Xuanxuan?"

The girl shook her head blankly.

Cao Yi pressed his lips.

Zhao Xuanxuan was the name of the brain-dead volunteer.

This girl had the facial features of Zhao Xuanxuan but none of Zhao Xuanxuan’s memories.

Cao Yi asked again:

"Do you know Nuannuan?"

The girl’s eyes slowly widened:

"I think that might be my name!"

Cao Yi immediately followed up with a question:

"Do you remember anything else?

Like where you come from, or what happened to you before?"

The girl bitterly smiled:

"If I knew, why would I be asking you?"

Cao Yi knew the girl remembered nothing, but he still unwillingly wanted to confirm again.

The girl appeared to be neither the Eight-foot Bride nor Zhao Xuanxuan, but entirely a different person.

Actually, if the experiment failed, it would be better if this girl was unrelated to the Eight-foot Bride, instead remembering she was Zhao Xuanxuan.

At least, it would be a medical breakthrough, and the money spent by the Security Administration wouldn’t be wasted.

Cao Yi pondered for a moment and said:

"I’m Cao Yi, your brother."

Cao Yi looked at the girl seriously:

"You’re Cao Nuannuan, my sister."

To Cao Yi, this girl was made out of money, and his personality was not one to give up exploiting her as a valuable asset.

The girl blinked, her eyes full of suspicion:

"I don’t look like you at all, and you seem to be forty, right? I appear to be under twenty."

Cao Yi felt slightly awkward.

Since assuming the role of the Security Administration director, dealing with many troubles, he indeed looked aged, with gray hairs even at the temples.

Actually, he is only thirty-three years old.

Cao Yi said:

"We are siblings from different fathers and mothers.

We come from a blended family, understand?

Your mother brought you to marry into the Cao Family when you were a child . . . . . ."

Cao Yi was seriously trying to deceive the girl.

An experienced sheriff trying to deceive a girl with no memory was no difficult task.

The girl’s eyes slowly hazed over with a mist.

Cao Yi had just recited a touching and heartfelt story to her.

The girl’s mother remarried with the girl, then the new family faced a misfortune.

A drama of life and death from the mortal world where a twenty-year-old sheriff took care of a young girl growing up.

Cao Yi spoke with sincerity, each word carrying tears.

The girl cried until she was drenched in tears, suddenly lunging into Cao Yi’s arms:

"Brother, are you really my brother?"

Cao Yi nodded, gently patting her back:

"Alright, everything’s in the past.

Your brother is a big official now, he’ll protect you well.

Come, here’s a gift for you."

Cao Yi took out a collar from his bag.

A dark red bead hung on the collar.

Cao Yi put the collar on the girl and said:

"This bead is called Hellfire, containing a very powerful Flame Power inside.

I acquired it at an auction, spending over three billion.

It’s for you, to keep you safe.

Your brother will never let you get hurt again, never let you forget him again."

The girl was immensely moved.

This value of Hellfire—one could say it was worth a fortune.

Her brother just gave it to her like that?

In fact, Cao Yi didn’t tell the girl that the bead was Hellfire, and the collar had its own significance.

This item was called the Safety Collar, upgraded version of the Safety Collar.

Just an activation from Cao Yi’s Spiritual Power, and the Safety Collar would immediately explode with Hellfire.

Cao Yi gave Hellfire to the girl because her Talent was particularly suited to such a dark natured Treasure Bead.

To make the most out of it, the Security Administration would gain another Senior Administrator.

Likewise, the destruction caused by Hellfire being detonated by the Safety Collar would be devastating.

Enough to turn the girl’s body along with her Spiritual Power to ashes.

Cao Yi treated the girl like a handy weapon but had to be constantly vigilant about her rebellion.

Just like . . . dealing with Xie Qilin initially.

The girl asked:

"Brother, you treat me so well, is there anything I can help you with?"

Cao Yi gently stroked her hair:

"There is a small task that requires you to go to the South Sea."

The girl solemnly said:

"No problem! I can do anything!"

Cao Yi said:

"Alright, your brother needs you, the Security Administration and Xia Country need you too.

I want to appoint you as a Senior Administrator, under the codename Chi Lian.

You need to form an administrator team and head to the South Sea to take over the Safety Management Station."

Currently, the South Sea Safety Management Station doesn’t have a Senior Administrator to oversee.

South Sea was once heavily guarded, with Wei Ming as Senior Administrator, and Cao Yi stationed there; additionally, Shu Mountain was close to South Sea.

Now, Wei Ming is not with the Security Administration, and Cao Yi has left the South Sea.

Cao Yi wants Zhang Xiaoyi to become more familiar with the Security Administration’s work, thus leaving Zhang Xiaoyi at Beidang Mountain.

Currently, South Sea only has an Intermediate Administrator with a Tier Three Peak rank temporarily serving as the South Sea Safety Management Station Chief.

The girl said:

"I don’t care about the Security Administration and Xia Country, I only care about you, Brother."

Cao Yi squinted his eyes dangerously, his voice sinister:

"No, you must love Xia Country and the Security Administration the way you love me, understand?"

The girl was frightened by Cao Yi’s sudden aura of hostility, shrank back, and nodded.

Cao Yi’s expression turned better, he patted the girl’s head:

"You should do two things when you go to South Sea.

First, handle the abnormal events in South Sea.

Second, monitor a person; that person is very strong, don’t offend them.

My colleague Whale Bird will take you there and teach you some workflows."

The girl seriously replied:

"Alright, I will definitely complete the tasks you’ve given!"

Cao Yi showed a smile:

"I’ll send you."

Today he had seen the insignia of the Death God—a Crow.

Not only him, but all members of the Demon Club had seen that Crow.

The Death God was summoning Demon Club members to the South Sea to attend the third Death God Meeting.

The third meeting organized personally by the Death God.

Cao Yi had reason to believe that this meeting would surely be about the monsters in the black crevice.
