Chapter 68 (Catching Bugs)

Late, nine o'clock, overgrown files.

Shen Jian sat in the living room next to the leadership room, expressionlessly pushing away the red-marked papers that were almost drowning him, and tried to lie down on the bed to have a good sleep.

Ever since [Chen Jian] mobilized all resources to find Yun's location and whether what he said was true, this guy threw all the files to him, saying that he couldn't be idle.

Shen Jian, who had never been idle since the awakening of the leader's room in Wuyin Tower, was silent for a while, and patiently resisted the urge to smash the pen in his hand onto the display screen.

Since [Chen Jian] found out something two days ago, he connected to the projection of the leader's room. Shen Jian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the flashing communication request, then pressed the yes button.

They looked at each other across the touch-screen projection of Solomon, whose consciousness had been removed.

Three minutes later, Shen Jian moved to this room.

He didn't ask what he had found out, and [Chen Jian] didn't say anything either. He just glanced at the intact Chen Jian with tired but calm eyes.

Shen Jian let him look at him. His peers in this world seemed to have just been freed from dealing with the nobles. They wore a full set of decorations and military medals on their military uniforms. In just one week, they increased rapidly to the point where they could not be arranged according to the rules.

"How chaotic is it outside?" Shen Jian asked in a low voice.

[Chen Jian] If one wants to investigate people all over the world with great fanfare under the power of the nobility, the first step must be to muddy the waters.

Even with his eyes closed, Shen Jian could imagine what this seemingly decent other self in front of him did: stir up a violent storm, then put on the vest of a savior and pretended to stand out to resist the invasion, making the noble class grateful for it.

In short, it’s a drama of a mastermind pretending to be a saint… Wait a minute, why is it so similar to his current situation?

A huge exclamation mark slowly flowed down from Shen Jian’s forehead.

This guy is not implying him by taking this action, right? But it is hard to say whether he is the old bitch behind the scenes who wrote the script and the counter-script!

Shen Jian looked at the projected self suspiciously, trying to find some evidence.

[Chen Jian] thought for a while, and seemed to have assessed the safety before he casually said something, "Shen An picked Fating, Shen Xiuzhu blew up the rest home and temple of the children of the God Trade, Shen Pingyan - I don't know if you have him, he set off a very gorgeous fireworks for me in a place that colluded with countless disasters."

Shen Jian retracted his gaze and put down the pen casually.

Even though he didn't want to know, his mind quickly and simply focused on the last firework that was not mentioned in detail.

...That's the key point. I guess I found something about clouds there.

"If you want to hide it from me, don't try to give me information by any means." He said calmly.

[Chen Jian] blinked, and it took him a while to react, "... Sorry? Unconsciously... I leaned slightly towards you."

Shen Jian lowered his eyes, thinking he was just talking bullshit, and said coldly, "If you treat your subordinates with this virtue of honesty, you don't have to make them so frightened and miserable."

[Chen Jian]'s Wuyan Tower seems to be exactly the same as Shen Jian's, but it is only an appearance. Beneath the stable horizontal surface is a turbulent group of sharks. They cannot sleep all night or are overjoyed because of something their leader said.

[Chen Jian] in this world shrugged casually, "...I'm sorry, I know you don't like it, but...you are the only one, Chen Jian."

He said nonchalantly, "To be precise, you are the only one who is not like us."

Shen Jian stopped talking and shifted his gaze to the corner of the room where the light was scattered.

This is the only room in the Wuyan Tower - the leader's living room - that is not monitored. In other words, this is the only room without any electronic equipment.

At this time, this place more often means sealing the door from the inside, which is equivalent to a prison in a sense; just like Shen Jian trapped the leader.

But Shen Jian's expression was still normal when he entered.

At that time, he turned his head and glanced at Shen An.

Chen An was forced to stop following and was forced to stop in front of the door.

Shen An felt that Mr. was willing to sink into the abyss for something and feed the sacrifice to the World-Devouring Python.

He just had this illusion for a moment, and then after Shen Jian closed the door without turning back, he knelt for a while before standing up, silently looking at the leader of this world's Wuyan Tower who had been standing beside him at some point in time.

"What can I do for you?" he asked softly, his voice slightly moist and unwilling.

At that time, he had completely separated the two Shen Jians.

[Chen Jian] clearly sensed this slight difference and immediately turned his head to look at Shen An.

... Unwilling? Oh. Fresh.

It was the first time that he saw resentment in his subordinates belonging to Wuyan Tower, no matter what kind of resentment.

[Chen Jian] looked at the pain and helplessness hidden deep in Shen An's eyes, and finally understood what Shen An was thinking.

“Do you think that even though you unconditionally agree with Shen Jian’s decision, you still feel sad?” The young leader seemed to be interested, took two steps forward, and gently placed his hand on Shen An’s shoulder, a gesture very similar to Shen Jian.

Of course, the projection could not touch the entity, but Shen An felt the warm touch penetrate into his blood through the cloth, so hot that he wanted to soak in the sea water to cool down.

Shen An shuddered out of nowhere under the warm light.

[Chen Jian] lowered his head, his eyes gentle and powerful, and he said slowly and unhurriedly, "But, you still blame me for not stopping him, or, not helping him?"

Shen An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "No, leader of Wu Yan Tower. Just like your subordinates, I have no way to feel bad about you. I just think that you are more..."

"I am more qualified to persuade him than you." [Chen Jian] interjected lightly, looking at Shen An speechless, lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

Very fresh, [Chen Jian] thought.

He had never seen such a subordinate who dared to challenge the leader, even if this was not his subordinate, nor was it straightforward.

"I believe Chen Jian has always treated you as a child, but perhaps you know more information than me." [Chen Jian] said calmly, "I need you."

Chen Jian was happy to help with things that he couldn't do.

"If you can think clearly, you should understand that the highest honor a subordinate can offer to his leader is not his own authority, but to win authority for his leader."

[Chen Jian] slowly said the conclusion he wanted to say: "Don't try to deny the leader's decision, okay?"

She was silent, moved slightly, and hid her expression with her soft chestnut hair.

"Even if he wants to die?" Shen An said.

"Even if he wants to die," [Shen Jian] replied, "my subordinates will not stop him if this is my order."

The leader of the Wuyan Tower smiled and patted Shen An's shoulder across the illusory world, but seemed to feel that it was not enough. After thinking for a while, he said again, "Are you very curious about why Shen Jian only brought you to see me?"

"Think about it, kid." [Chen Jian] smiled gently and put down a crisp apple grown in the Garden of Eden, and slowly tempted, "How about we exchange it?"
