Chapter 66 The Aftermath of the Sea Swallow
Dark Night Rose, the Southern School, and Elder Cai were the culprits behind the destruction of No Trace Hotel. Over this period, Zhang Yuanqing occasionally recalled the timid, obedient Little Fatty, whose desire to survive was extremely strong.
That fellow and Kou Beiyue were the "Hidden Dragon and Phoenix Chick" of the hotel. Sadly, now only the Hidden Dragon remains. The Phoenix Chick has returned to the Spirit Realm. He also thought of the "Wandering Vagrant of the World," who clearly hated humanity yet dedicated half his life to anti-drug work, and his brother, the Drug Chaser.
The deaths of these people left him with lingering resentment every time he thought about it!
If he became the Lord of the Sun in the future, the first ones he would settle accounts with would be the Southern School and Dark Night Rose.
Seeing Ju Mang lost in thought, Winnie asked directly, "How did you locate the Demonic Beast Haas last time? I wonder if you can help this time?"
This was the real reason she summoned Ju Mang to the office.
Zhang Yuanqing snapped out of his thoughts, gazing at the refined, cold, and alluring female Minister with her brown hair cascading over her shoulders.
"Firstly, ambushing Night Tourers is not a wise decision. You should know this best. Secondly, unless you can obtain the target's DNA, it's impossible to locate them."
Winnie seemed somewhat disappointed and said, "Then we can only use the Child of the Sky. I've already reached a consensus with Executive Sean and Minister Channing. If there's no other way, we'll consider using the Child of the Sky."
"Now we need to get the other party's Spirit Realm ID, just one will do."
Wasting the trial opportunity of the Child of the Sky on a Saint? What are the Three Giants of Heavenly Punishment thinking? Zhang Yuanqing feigned concern and asked about the price of using the Child of the Sky.
After Winnie explained, he seized the opportunity and said, "Blindness for five days, who will bear that cost?"
"I will!"
"Can it be replaced with another method?"
Winnie shook her head. "Blindness is also a Rule-based ability. I will lose all perception of the outside world and cannot compensate with any props or skills."
"What if the Evil faction takes the opportunity to hunt you down? What will I do?" Zhang Yuanqing voiced his only concern.
"That's not something you need to consider." Winnie clearly didn't intend to explain too much.
Sounds like she's prepared, but doesn't want to reveal too much... Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
"I understand."
Winnie said, "Is there a problem with giving you the Spirit Realm ID?"
Her meaning was to have Ju Mang seek help from the Five Elements Alliance. He could only inquire with the Devil Eye... Zhang Yuanqing said, "No problem. At the latest, tomorrow, I will tell you the Spirit Realm ID of the support team."
Winnie nodded in satisfaction, "You can go back to work."
Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, probing, "Minister Winnie, do you know Zhai Cai? He's a Ruler-level Knight!"
He should try to contact Zhai Cai. That fellow likely knows the whereabouts of the Imperial Treasure Map, or perhaps he even possesses it. Otherwise, why would he insist on maintaining the legacy?
"He's at my house." Winnie's reply was unexpectedly frank. "To be precise, at my grandfather's house?"
"Your grandfather?" Zhang Yuanqing thought, how did we get to your grandfather again?
He originally suspected that Winnie and Zhai Cai might be lovers, or at the very least, had an ambiguous relationship. But later, after hearing Yuan Ting's gossip, he learned that Winnie was deeply devoted to the Devil Monarch, and even though the Devil Monarch was a heartless man who had returned to the Spirit Realm, she remained single.
He then assumed that the two were friends or partners with mutual interests.
Unexpectedly, Zhai Cai didn't know Winnie, but her grandfather.
"That Knight is a business partner of my grandfather's, and they seem to have a good personal relationship." Winnie explained simply, frowning as she spoke, as if she strongly disliked single-inheritance Knights.
"That's a guy who speaks in a very annoying way. I don't know much about him."
Zhang Yuanqing said, "Minister Winnie, after the Second District's Evil professionals are stopped, I hope to visit your grandfather."
Winnie was somewhat astonished, gazing at him for a few seconds, then said, "Okay!"
New Covenant County, Dia Airport.
Wearing a skirt suit and a white shirt, Fu Xue, accompanied by two assistants, passed through the arrival level, arrived at the underground garage, and entered a business car.
The black-shelled business car drove away from the airport. Fu Xue took out her cell phone and dialed the phone of her business partner and best friend: "Chen Shu, I've arrived in New Covenant County. Do you want to get together?"
"New Covenant County is in deep water right now, are you going there to die?" Chen Shu sneered mercilessly: "Why are you going to New Covenant County to join in the fun when you're doing well in China?"
"I'm here on behalf of the company, the Five Elements Alliance, to discuss business with Heavenly Punishment." Fu Xue's tone was bright.
"The Five Elements Alliance, out of the moral principles of the alliance, agreed that the condition for us selling mechanical weapons to Heavenly Punishment is that 5% of the proceeds go to us. If this business can be negotiated, we will vigorously process important components in New Covenant County."
Fu Xue was a shrewd person who knew how to seize opportunities. She made a suggestion to her nephew, Jin Yiyan, wanting to expand the business overseas.
Fu Qingyang thought it was an opportunity, so he convened a corresponding meeting. The Nine Elders also thought the plan was good, selling mechanical weapons was better than sending Saints to their deaths, and the proposal was passed smoothly.
"So you called me just to show off?" Chen Shu said indifferently.
"No, I want to give you an investment opportunity. The company's profits are good, but after all, it hasn't been established for three months, and the upfront costs haven't been recovered yet, the debts haven't been paid off, and we have to expand the production line, everywhere we have to spend money. If this business is negotiated, we have to manufacture a production line in New Covenant County, and we have to pull investment." Fu Xue had a lot of plans in mind.
"I know Jishi Society is rich, doesn't lack funds. Chen Shu, are you interested in doing it with me?"
Chen Shu was silent for a moment, and said: "Wait until your business is done, I'll think about it!"
"Think about what?" Fu Xue said dissatisfied.
"This kind of business that is guaranteed to make money, you need to think about it? Chen Shu, you've changed, you're no longer the decisive reaper."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you! I haven't decided whether to go to New Covenant County to see that person." Chen Shu hung up the phone after speaking.
"Great Devil Eye Heavenly King, guardian of justice and fairness, please tell me which God General the Soldiers Sect has sent to New Covenant County."
In Dessen River Park, Zhang Yuanqing held his mobile phone and sent a message to Devil Eye Heavenly King.
Devil Eye Heavenly King said: "Jealousy God General, Spirit Realm ID Tiandao Hao Bu Gong." ("Heaven's Way is So Unfair")
Jealousy God General's information immediately appeared on Zhang Yuanqing's phone. This God General's personality was extreme jealousy. He was jealous of everything that was better than himself, and anyone with a shining point was regarded as a thorn in his side.
What he liked most was to hang out with a bunch of loser dogs, and then gain a huge sense of superiority from the loser dogs.
He kills people without any rules because you can't judge who he's jealous of.
His degree of bloodthirst is average, his degree of lust is average, and his infamy is not as great as the Eight Great God Generals' Lust God, nor as great as the irritable, bloodthirsty, and violent Wrath God General.
The only thing Zhang Yuanqing could think of about Jealousy God General was that he had once killed his neighbor's entire family because the neighbor's cat was more noble and cuter than his own, and he stole the cat.
As for his rank, as one of the Eight Great God Generals, he was undoubtedly a Saint's Peak Mist Master.
Zhang Yuanqing replied with a message: "Thank you, Heavenly King! I have killed all these evil professionals and acted on behalf of Heaven. What is the rank of the Dark Night Rose members sent to New Covenant County? Is the real purpose to assist the Evil camp in the war?"
He wanted to ask if Ling Tuo would suspect that he was still alive.
Devil Eye Heavenly King said: "Ling Tuo is in a copy. Since the death of the One Primordial Heavenly Lord, he has entered the Spirit Realm and has not returned to reality."
"This support operation was promoted by Dark Night Rose's Great Protector, and he sent a Level 6 Star Official."
Devil Eye understood what he meant.
So I don't have to worry about Ling Tuo's calculations in a short time. Well, the Primordial Heavenly Lord is dead, and the Tongtian Sect Leader and Ju Mang have not had any intersection with Dark Night Rose, so it is impossible for Ling Tuo to suspect that the Primordial Heavenly Lord is not dead.
But if I participate in the action to hunt down the Dark Night Rose Star Official, according to Ling Tuo's rank, it is very likely that he will deduce my identity from the river of fate.
No, not likely, it's certain!
Whenever Ling Tuo leaves the copy, I will be exposed, but fortunately, Demigods can't come out of the copy for a while. It may be a few months or even a year before Ling Tuo returns to reality.
And if, when he comes out, I happen to enter a copy, then even if he observes the stars, he won't be able to deduce me.
The Spirit Realm can isolate divination, prophecy, and star observation.
While thinking quickly, Zhang Yuanqing boasted about his experiences in hunting down corrupt elements and criminals in the Free Federation to maintain his relationship with the Devil Eye Heavenly King.
He also inquired about the recent movements and future plans of the Fear Heavenly King.
The Evil camp in the First District is waiting for an opportunity. The Evil camps are one family, and Fear Heavenly King, as a Demigod combat power of the Soldiers Sect, cannot possibly not know.
But unfortunately, the Fear Heavenly King, who has always been unruly and loved freedom, did not reveal any information to the Devil Eye Heavenly King.
He even stayed away from the Soldiers Sect for a long time. Finally, Zhang Yuanqing sent an invitation: "Heavenly King, are you interested in coming to New Covenant County to eradicate evil?"
Although the Devil Eye Heavenly King is Level 7, his Bewitching Eye can effectively bewitch Demigod-level powerhouses, and like Fu Qingyang, they are both Grandmaster-level figures.
If he could come to New Covenant County, Zhang Yuanqing felt that he could walk sideways.
"I'm going to enter the Spirit Realm soon. I'm about to reach Level 8, and I can't speak English. I didn't graduate from junior high school." Devil Eye Heavenly King replied.
Zhang Yuanqing replied with some disappointment, "Heavenly King is so true, I also think studying is useless. A real man should do whatever he wants. The principles in books can never compare to the principles he understands himself."
He habitually catered to him.
"No! I really like going to school."
"But my family was destroyed when I was in the second year of junior high school..." Devil Eye replied.
This is awkward... After Zhang Yuanqing chatted with him for a few words, he threw his phone into the wide Dessen River.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Guan Ya called him into her office, closed the frosted glass door, and turned on the music box she borrowed from Sun Miaomiao, letting the melodious melody echo in the office.
Music can cover the spread of sound.
"The file of the disappearance of the Sea Swallow in 1900." She opened the computer and clicked on a file. "It contains the detailed process of the incident and the list of missing people. This information was absolutely confidential in those years. As time passed, its confidentiality level dropped again and again. I didn't spend much money to get it. It was listed as absolutely confidential in those years, mainly because I didn't want the rumors of sea monsters to cause social panic, and at that time, the Vatican attached great importance to this matter, and the Irish United Nations government adopted the Vatican's opinion and permanently stored the archives. Now, even if the legend of sea monsters spreads, no one will believe it, and the Vatican has been destroyed for a hundred years."
While listening, Zhang Yuanqing read the archives. The content of the archives was roughly the same as what he saw and heard in the copy.
The fleet, the Sea Swallow, lost contact with the naval headquarters not long after it was salvaged ashore. The Irish United Nations Naval Headquarters once sent a fleet to search along the route.
But they didn't find the Sea Swallow. There were no radar or satellites at that time, and they could only give up in the end.
The naval headquarters defined the Sea Swallow as missing, not sunk. There were two reasons. First, no sea monsters appeared in the southern waters of the Irish United Nations after the Sea Swallow disappeared. Second, the Vatican and the naval headquarters later sent a fleet to salvage along the route without any discovery.
Based on the above two points, the naval headquarters speculated that the extraterrestrial meteorite did not return to the seabed after being salvaged by the Sea Swallow, but it is not known where it went.
After Zhang Yuanqing finished reading the archives, Guan Ya said, "There is also an attachment, which is the follow-up of this incident, but it is a bit bizarre!"
"Bizarre?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
Guan Ya explained: "In 1915, during World War II, an Irish United Nations soldier saw his father on the battlefield, but his father should have died in 1900 and could not have appeared on the battlefield."
"Moreover, he found that his father's appearance was exactly the same as in the photo, and he was still in his youth. After the war, he reported this to the Irish government."
"At that time, the whole society was in chaos. The government was busy with post-war reconstruction work, and no one paid attention to him. They just put this matter into the archives, probably wanting to investigate it when they had time in the future."
While speaking, Guan Ya closed the archives and opened an attachment.
Zhang Yuanqing compared the attachments, and his pupils suddenly contracted. Guan Ya whispered: "That soldier was called John Simpson, and his father was called Stephen Simpson. The Lieutenant Stephen you took the place of did not die."
