Chapter 257 The Nan Yun Mu Family
"Useless! You are all utterly useless! No wonder the Guremlin asked me to help them solve the problems in this area. It's utterly ridiculous!" Ye Zhuo glared angrily at the few phantoms in front of him who were bowing their heads and remaining silent, cursing incessantly.
"How many days has it been? I just arrived here today, and you're telling me that you've already lost three phantoms before even finishing a 'Gate'! Huh! Answer me!" Ye Zhuo's voice was deafening, as if it would overturn the entire room.
Faced with Ye Zhuo's questioning, the phantoms remained silent, simply bowing their heads, seemingly feeling immense shame for their defeat.
Finally, one of the cat phantoms mustered its courage, raised its head, wiped the sweat from its forehead, and stammered, "Officer, this... this really isn't our fault! That beast that suddenly appeared recently, he's always deliberately causing us trouble."
“Every time we were about to successfully wake him up, he would suddenly appear like a ghost and ruthlessly interrupt our plans.”
"We've tried fighting him, but we can't beat him at all! So... so we really have no other options."
"Heh!" Ye Zhu sneered, interrupting the cat demon phantom.
"Don't make those lame excuses for your failures! Since the Sage has entrusted this area to me, I'd like to see just how capable this so-called beast really is!" With that, Ye Zhuo turned around abruptly, his gaze fixed intently on the window.

Yunnan Province.
Ming Dynasty Border Defense Military Region.
"You're awake. Would you like some water?"
When He Jun opened his eyes, he saw himself lying on a hospital bed, and at the same time, he heard a man's voice asking him questions.
He licked his slightly dry lips.
"I'd like to have some water, could you please?"
"It's nothing, no big deal. Here, have some water." The man handed He Jun a glass of warm water.
He Jun picked up the water glass, drank the warm water, and only then did he feel fully awake. Just as he was about to turn around and continue to express his gratitude,
He turned his head and saw that the person who had just handed him the warm water was a middle-aged man in a lieutenant general's uniform, with a major officer beside him. He was instantly terrified.
"Ah...uh...Uncle Mingjun, what...what is this..." He Jun stammered.
Seeing how nervous He Jun was, the lieutenant general gently comforted him and then replaced him with the major.
“He Jun, you don’t need to be so nervous. We are from the Yunnan Provincial Border Defense Military Region. We are here to ask you about the situation related to these photos.” The major’s voice was deep and gentle, as if it carried a reassuring power.
After saying that, he slowly opened his briefcase, took out a stack of photos, and handed them to He Jun.
He Jun hesitated for a moment before taking the photo and looking down at it.
These photos were clearly carefully selected, each one vividly depicting some of the things he experienced that day.
There are pictures of him being chased by the gargoyle phantom, pictures of him being rescued by the beast, and even pictures of him briefly interacting with the beast.
Seeing these photos eased He Jun's tension somewhat.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his tone, and then recounted the events of that day to the major and another soldier beside him in detail.
He Jun described in detail how he was chased by the gargoyle phantom and how the beast suddenly appeared at the critical moment and saved his life.
He also mentioned what Beast had said about "Gate" when they talked.
The major and the lieutenant general sat to the side listening attentively, nodding from time to time and carefully taking notes on every detail He Jun mentioned.
After a while, He Jun finally finished recounting the whole story.
He then looked up, slightly nervously at the two officers opposite him, waiting for their reaction.
The major paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, thank you very much for He Jun's cooperation."
"During this period, our border defense military region will be responsible for your safety and will absolutely ensure that you never encounter anything like this again."
After speaking, the major gently closed the recorder on his chest. His tone remained gentle, but it revealed an undeniable firmness.
"You should rest here. We have already notified your parents, and they are on their way." After saying this, the lieutenant general led the major out of the ward.
.................................................. .....
The border military command center was unusually quiet, with only the lieutenant general and the major present.
The major, clutching a document tightly in his hand, frowned and looked worried as he said to the lieutenant general, "Father, what do you think of these documents? Should we report them or not?"
"After all, the Special Affairs Bureau already knows about this. If we don't report it, the Cabinet might have a problem with us if they find out!"
The lieutenant general sat in his chair, looking at the major expressionlessly, and coldly replied, "His cabinet has no jurisdiction over me! You should understand that our Mu family has been responsible only to His Majesty for generations."
"As for the cabinet... pshaw! What can they do if they have opinions? What does it have to do with us!"
After saying that, the lieutenant general seemed a little angry, and his tone became stern, "Also, in the military, you must address people by their rank!"
The major immediately stood at attention and answered loudly, "Yes, Commander Mu!"
The lieutenant general calmed himself down a bit and then said, "Here's what we'll do: you send this report and those videos directly to the capital and the special operations forces later. As for the cabinet, there's no need to send them."
"Anyway, the Special Affairs Bureau will definitely report these situations to the Cabinet, so there's no need for us to get involved anymore."

As the sun sets and night falls, on the other side...
Special operations base.
"Director Hong, urgent telegram from the Yunnan Provincial Military Region!"
"Okay! Got it, just put it here."
After the correspondent left, Hong Tao picked up the documents on the table and began to read them.
Not long after.
"Phantom? Well, the Mu family in Nanyun Province is really interesting. Sending this intelligence to me, do they want the special agents to visit them too?" Hong Tao sneered as he lightly tapped the table.
