Chapter 41 Cooperation
Ever since he followed everyone else and looked up, Lin Muyu's gaze had been fixed on the young man named "Bai Zhou".
The other person had a smile on his face and a relaxed and comfortable temperament. He was clearly a stranger, but in an instant he aroused a vague sense of familiarity.
It made him unconsciously recall the slender figure shrouded in darkness under the pitch-black night sky, with a similar relaxed posture, casually casting a little afterglow.
In a trance, the shrill screams of evil spirits were very close, the ground was covered with bloody debris, and the familiar taste of rust filled the air. It makes people fall into chaos and unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
It was as if that day was replayed, the elegant voice entered my eardrums and easily broke the illusion. Lin Muyu's pupils shrank, and the figure in his memory overlapped with the young man at this moment.
He finally reacted, his expression no longer as gentle and calm as before, but rather a hint of disbelief.
That person really appeared before them unexpectedly.
Is this the "surprise" that the commander mentioned?
It is undeniable...it was indeed a big "surprise", at least he, Si Yu'an and others were all given a stiffness buff after hearing that familiar voice, and even Xiao Ye beside him cast a strange look at him.
They never thought that they would meet that mysterious man in such an occasion. It was really unexpected.
Lin Muyu lowered his eyes and saw the cheerful expression of his superior. He must have been paying attention to them. When he saw him looking at him, he raised his eyebrows slightly, as if asking: How do you feel?
"......"
Lin Muyu turned his head away speechlessly, with mixed feelings.
As Bai Zhou finished his speech, thunderous applause broke out in the stadium, even more than the first time.
There was still a slight restlessness in the audience. People felt that the birth of this dagger foreshadowed some good meaning, and that the death rate of people with special abilities might start to decline in the future. Therefore, the atmosphere of this year's Battle of Zhuolu was more heated than in previous years.
The union bosses, who seemed to be thinking about something, glanced at the young man on the stage intentionally or unintentionally, guessing in their hearts where this person came from and secretly doubting the government's motives.
They actually gave out such a good thing as a reward for the champion. I'm afraid they are planning to keep it all for themselves after something happens, relying on the possibility of trouble from a cult... ?
This not only appeases the people, but also demonstrates one's magnanimity and strength, killing two birds with one stone.
The more you think about it, the more it makes sense!
Thinking of this, the bosses from all sides secretly glared at their own psychics who were ready to make a move, trying to calm them down with the boss's eyes.
Don’t get excited, it’s still unknown whether this competition can be held!
How come there is no aura of a high-level trade union at all!
——
The matter of the special guest can be traced back to the letter that was airdropped on someone's face two days ago.
In the space, Shi Xu, with his last experience, picked up the pen and scribbled a few words on the paper. He ignored the questioning look of the light ball beside him and looked at it with satisfaction.
"Why do I feel a little weird?"
The ball of light flew over his head. He looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the words.
"Your format and tone are a bit too arrogant, aren't we here to discuss cooperation, not to fight?"
The dungeon BOSS is still different from the real camp, oh my Xu!
"Really? I think my wording was very polite."
Shi Xu did not comment. He lay back on the soft sofa, threw the letter aside casually, and said:
"If I do what you say, I'll be seen as easy to bully, and I won't be able to meet anyone I want to talk to."
"Don't worry, as long as they show enough value, even if I scold them harshly, those people will still put in the effort on the surface."
The ball of light tacitly caught the letter in the air, its energy body suddenly expanded and turned into an exploding marshmallow, then it swallowed the paper in one breath and shrank back to its original size.
It shook its body subconsciously, then rushed to Shi Xu's neck and buried itself in it. They leaned against each other and passed the time, one with a ball.
"Okay, I believe you."
The light ball said sullenly, feeling a little discouraged.
"But ever since the last airdrop to stop the cult's actions, I have been unable to locate their position. It's like they were erased by some energy. I can't find them no matter how hard I try."
"Look at it from another angle, this is also a good thing." Shi Xu touched the lost ball of light to comfort himself, "This shows that the cult is indeed related to external forces, and we can get a lot of information."
"And we know what happened in the original world line. How can we lose?"
Having said that, he gave a thumbs up with confidence.
The light ball was infected by his confidence, and it hummed heavily and became excited.
"You're right, we have the advantage! I must overcome my fear of foreign forces!"
Before Shi Xu had time to cheer it up, he heard the excited tone change and hesitate again.
"What's wrong?"
He asked curiously.
"Nothing, I was just thinking..." The light ball thought for a while, "How to overcome your vest problem."
"Although your consciousness has been split into two, allowing you to control two bodies at the same time, you are still in the early stages of adaptation. If you get too close, the consciousness in the vest will be attracted to the main body, causing Qi Heng to fall to the ground on the spot."
Oh, that is indeed a problem.
Shi Xu also fell into deep thought.
Yes, although the data package has been downloaded, the new version has not yet been updated, and the two vests cannot be in the same space in a clear mind.
"Hiss... the stadium is so far away, he shouldn't lose consciousness, right?"
He said tentatively.
"I'll try my best to stop you." The light ball thought about a countermeasure, "At least it will look like a simple daze."
There is no other way.
Shi Xu nodded, feeling that he might need to add more labels to his own in the comics.
The air fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke again.
The feeling of being intimate with another life was very novel. Shi Xu couldn't sleep. After lying quietly for a while, he took out the notebook that had been with him for a long time and began to count the things to do in the next plot along the torn page.
Every time they go to a place, they will insert the supernatural device in the appropriate location, and now they have placed quite a few. The devices are connected to each other, have taken shape, and everything is going well.
The government is no exception.
The size of the building and the level of security meant it was more difficult to infiltrate than the White Night Guild, so we had to find a way to complete the mission.
Recalling the map given by the light ball, Shi Xu roughly drew it on the notebook. When he was thinking, the tip of the pen moved unconsciously, leaving a few ink marks on the white paper.
The hour hand moves slowly.
......
A few days later, the envelope had already been delivered to its destination, and the day for conversation with the government arrived.
Covered in the shell of daylight, the dagger circled in the air and then fell down, firmly held in the palm of the hand.
The supernatural props kindly provided by the Light Ball have more generous entries than the system drops. It is an item that will cause a huge sensation as soon as it is released.
"Let's give it a try."
Touching the smooth blade, Bai Zhou raised his hand and gently drew it in the air.
The feeling of cutting jelly is like that of being there and not there. The air is like silk, breaking as the tip of the knife cuts, revealing the flowing starry sky inside. But when you look closely, it is pure black, as if it is expanding and contracting.
A wound lay across the air, cut and abrupt.
I reached out to touch it, but my fingertips were swallowed by the darkness and I could not sense any existence. It was as if my fingers were separated from my body outside.
As if there was an invisible suction force, Bai Zhou obediently reached into his wrist, tore open the wound with his other hand, and raised his foot to step into it. The air trembled, and the black hole gradually closed as the people disappeared, and soon healed as before.
Time stops flowing in this space, thoughts freeze and stagnate here, it seems like just a blink of an eye, or it seems like countless years have passed, and light appears before your eyes.
Bai Ri opened his eyes and subconsciously clenched the dagger in his hand. The exquisite carvings were embedded in his palm, and the pain brought him back to his senses.
"We're here."
The light ball breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no symptoms of discomfort.
The space transmission was very reliable. Bai Dayu's location was a blind spot for surveillance, and no one saw a wound appear in the air and a person came out.
The timing is just right. The young man put away the dagger and walked towards the government.
A person who suddenly appeared on the surveillance camera instantly attracted the attention of relevant personnel.
Remembering the notice from their superiors, they immediately made a phone call to report the situation and described the young man's appearance and clothing.
The waiting officer stood up from his chair. Si Yuan's story was completely consistent with his subordinates' introduction. It seemed that the person who suddenly appeared was the famous psychic.
He pushed open the door, intending to personally invite the person from the door to the reception room.
…
After nodding to people passing by at the door for about five minutes, the owner of the envelope finally arrived.
Although he knew from the phone call that the man was very young, after meeting him in person, the officer couldn't help but sigh at the differences between people, which were so huge that they were at the level of cross-species.
It's a pity that this face is not on the big screen.
A smile appeared on his face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Mr. Bai Day."
The officer saluted the young man who walked in, knocked on the glass door on one side, turned around and said:
"Let's go inside and talk."
——
Sitting on the comfortable sofa, two people with smiles on their faces looked at each other across a wooden table, sizing each other up.
The surveillance camera above flashed a mysterious red light, and its inorganic pupils were looking directly at the two of them.
No one spoke for a while, only the sound of tea being sipped.
After a moment, the teacup was gently placed on the table, and the crisp sound broke the silence.
“Good tea.”
Bai Day sighed, his brows slightly raised.
"Your family is indeed generous. Even though I used bad words, you still entertained me wholeheartedly and did not lose your courtesy."
"No need to be polite, it's all what we should do." The officer shrugged, an official smile on his face, "If the tea is good, drink more."
"Besides, Mr. Bai Zhou's strength is obvious to all. He also lent a hand to several of our psychics and saved them from danger. In any case, you deserve the highest standard of treatment."
The superior officer ignored the dissatisfied instructions from the higher-ups in his earphones without saying anything.
"If you need anything, please feel free to tell us. We are always kind to our friends."
"Is that so? Then I feel relieved."
Bai Zhou nodded thoughtfully, the smile on his lips widening a little, "I won't keep you in suspense. After all, you look like a busy man, sir. How can you waste your time on such a small matter?"
After saying that, the young man leaned forward, and the red dot on the high place became faster with his movement, and then returned to calm when the other party picked up the teapot on the table.
Bai Zhou poured the tea slowly and refilled the half-drunk cups of tea for the two men, continuing to talk.
"As for me, I'm actually here to seek cooperation."
Cooperation.
The officer pretended to realize something, watching the other party's fingertips tapping briskly on the wooden table, slowly pushed the teacup towards him, and answered cooperatively:
"I see. Then, please tell me."
"As you know, the cult is making a comeback now, and the current situation cannot be delayed."
Bai Ri picked up his teacup and shook it slowly.
From the beginning, he did not cast any glance at the extremely obvious surveillance camera on the wall. He just calmly stared at the smiling superior opposite him, and the smile on his surface gradually became sincere.
"The current battle of Zhuolu is like honey, which will definitely attract rats to spy. And I just need to find their caves."
"But after careful consideration, I feel that it is too rude to sneak into the other party's territory without the owner's consent. Therefore, I hope your house can agree to my request."
"Let me join the competition as a special guest."
