"So? Is there anyone suspicious inside?"
The leader led Shi Yin directly to the innermost conference room, closed the door, and completely sealed off the space inside.
This place is completely sealed off and absolutely confidential. There are no eavesdropping systems or equipment, only a sophisticated computer and a large electronic display screen. The mahogany table is brand new and shiny, indicating that it was set up temporarily.
“You trust me more than I thought.” Shi Yin hesitated for a moment in front of the table before being pressed down by the head of the household to sit in the main seat.
"Are there more people this time than before?" the Consul General asked.
“A third more.” Shi Yin asked doubtfully, “Did you use some kind of lobbying tactics?”
Tokine only used some influence tactics when she first met with the Chief, but that was a way to facilitate the initial negotiations.
After formally entering the negotiation stage, Shi Yin stopped using her special ability, and the two communicated normally.
"No." The commander-in-chief shook his head in denial: "I had a meeting with them before you came and selected some important and trustworthy people."
“However, considering that those worthy of my trust do not truly believe in the end times, what we need are people who absolutely obey orders and absolutely believe in this matter,” the leader said. “Therefore, I am simply stating the facts of the current situation.”
The term "apocalypse" is ultimately too far-fetched. In our current era of advanced and affluent living, no one can connect our current lives with the concept of the apocalypse.
Even though some people have expressed concerns about the end of the world due to various forms of pollution, extreme weather, and strange phenomena, that is still decades, centuries, or even millennia from now.
It's unbelievable that they're suddenly saying the apocalypse will arrive in six months, and even bringing in elements of zombie movies.
Most importantly, to make everyone believe that a little girl is coming to save the world is simply a joke.
“However, a diplomat expressed his trust in you and raised some questions, not questions about you, but rather unusual discoveries about the impending apocalypse.” As he spoke, the Consul General pushed a photograph toward him.
Shi Yin frowned the moment she saw the photo.
It was a frontal work photo, and this kind of unflattering frontal shot is extremely demanding on a person's appearance. The unfiltered camera almost zooms in on every pore, capturing every single flaw.
But this person...
She's quite photogenic?
"Nan Zhu." Shi Yin raised her hand, and the photo was completely engulfed by the flames: "I remember giving Major General Ye evidence, evidence of the Nan family's crimes."
"Yes, but we haven't alerted them yet." The commander nodded: "Firstly, we're worried about whether the Nan family has someone backing them, and secondly, Nan Zhu isn't registered with the Nan family and has never been involved in their affairs."
Shi Yin sat in the chair looking at the chief, her face clearly saying, "Do you believe what you're saying?"
After she mentioned the matter of thoroughly investigating the Nan family to Ye Yuansong, Ye Yuansong sent over all the information about the Nan family, which of course included Nan Zhu's information.
This guy has done countless things in various fields, and he hasn't stayed in any job for more than a year. With such strong mobility, he was accepted into so many positions so quickly. Besides his excellent performance in assessments, the fact that he's favored by the Nan family is also a factor.
Never participated before?
They're not even registered in the same household?
What a coincidence?
"Yes, the Nan family has two children, the younger son is registered under his maternal grandparents' household registration." The chief glanced outside the meeting room and said softly, "It's all about fighting for the inheritance."
To fight for his wife's parents' property?
Shi Yin raised an eyebrow.
If Shi Yin remembers correctly, the mother of the two Nan family sons died when they were young. No wonder the headmaster suddenly lowered his voice. This is hardly something to be proud of.
Although it exploits a loophole, it's legal, and there's really no way to find fault with it.
“Nan Zhu expressed his trust in the apocalypse, and recently, Mr. Nan discovered something amiss among the exchange students from Milica: one noble student brought a spider.” The headmaster took out a file folder and handed the information to Shi Yin.
"He went to your school. He said that things went wrong and someone collapsed and convulsed strangely, which is suspected to be the zombie you mentioned. He said that you were there at the time, and he witnessed the whole process and saw the person who turned into a zombie."
"Mr. Nan noticed that the insect had a certain resemblance to the people at the time. After recording it with a miniature camera, he detained the pet and was only able to return it upon his return."
Shi Yin carefully examined the picture in the file folder. It was a very strange-looking spider that no biologist knew of could match.
The spider's enormous abdomen had bluish-gray markings and faint red threads, which did indeed resemble the skin of the mutated person from that day.
The spider's legs are long, thin, and smooth. What's most striking is that its head at the front bears a resemblance to a human face. Its large white pupils, coupled with a terrified expression, send chills down your spine.
The photo is very clear.
If this were a variety show, they'd probably insert commercials showing off how clear the photos are...
"Good job." Shi Yin nodded: "Detain those exchange students too."
"Detain them all?" The commander-in-chief was taken aback.
"Hmm, detaining everyone, including the person making the handover, shouldn't be too difficult to keep the news hidden for half a year." Shi Yin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Oni Spider appeared earlier than usual."
“There were several previous rebirths, and I suspected the exchange students were the problem. I searched their luggage and rooms separately, but found nothing.” Shi Yin frowned: “Strange, how could he have found out so easily?”
The Oni Spider was first discovered on the street. If it hadn't been discovered so early, after today's meeting, Shion was supposed to go to the outskirts of S City to exterminate the spider the day after tomorrow. I never expected to find it here.
“Mr. Nan said he saw it inside the computer host.” The Consul General said, “They were playing a game at the time, and while waiting nearby, they noticed something was wrong with the light flashing inside the host through the gap. They touched the host and found that the temperature was problematic. Moreover, he felt that the host model and the configuration of the surrounding parts were somewhat incompatible.”
"Upon opening and inspection, it was discovered that the incubator and the main unit were combined into one. The international student explained that it was his pet."
Shi Yin thought about it and realized she could understand it.
The diplomats in the previous rounds were all experienced middle-aged people, and there's no denying their strong capabilities. But when it comes to things like computer screen flickering, temperature, and specifications, it's definitely the younger generation who are better at it...
Shi Yin sighed, realizing she was completely clueless about the situation.
"So, he wasn't involved in the Nan family's affairs, and he made contributions first..." The commander was somewhat troubled: "It's not easy for us to deal with him as well."
"I understand, he did well." Shi Yin waved her hand, although she still had many doubts, especially about why Nan Zhu appeared at such close range this time.
However, Nan Zhu had almost directly performed a great service this time, and it was indeed difficult for her to kill the person directly.
Forget it, let's keep it. We can deal with it later if something unexpected happens.
