Under the patrolling officer’s lead, Dong Dagong crossed through the streets and alleyways. Strangely enough, they were not headed for the Department of Law and Punishment. Instead, they made their way out.

“Where are we going?” Dong Dagong asked.

“You’ll know once you’re there,” said the patrolling officer.

It was dust. The evening lights had only just been lit.

Dong Dagong looked up. The hazy sky between the buildings had begun to drizzle before he knew it.

Along the way, they encountered another group, which was also ushered towards outside the city under another patrolling officer’s guide.

They were not particularly close with one another, but they were still fellow soldiers, so they greeted one another and began to talk and befriend each other.

When a certain object appeared on the horizon, everyone gazed up. That was a colossal figure, standing with its back to Myriad city, below the hazy clouds.

It was Li Qingshan’s statue.

They were all very familiar with this figure. They could not help but think of the Xuanwu Army God, and they were rather roused at heart for some reason.

On the harbour square, the master of the Department of Law and Punishment, Leng Yuan, stood high on a huge beast with his hands behind his back. It was shaped like a wolf, but it lacked any fur, instead covered in layers of icicles, giving off a sense of coldness. The drizzle all turned to pellets when it approached it.

The giant beast lay on the ground. Before its claws were people from the four offices of patrol, enforcement, judgement, and punishment.

Li Qingshan’s statue towered over the ocean without budging, gazing into the depths, allowing the winds and waves to slam into it. It was completely unaware of everything occurring behind it.

“Senior brother, Dong Dagong and the others have been brought here. We’ve gathered everyone!”

The patrolling officer bowed towards Leng Yuan, but Leng Yuan ignored him, so he simply returned to the ground that belonged to the office of patrol.
