Chapter 1667: Selection of Special Talents



After one stick of incense.

Three figures walked out of the imperial study.

This meeting was pretty much as Lin Qiye had imagined. Emperor Wu of Han rewarded Huo Qubing and transferred a large amount of gold and manpower to him to set up the Evil Suppression Division. Later, he wanted to befriend Lin Qiye and give him some territories and official titles. However, he was stopped by Huo Qubing. After some persuasion, he only rewarded him with 500 taels of gold.

After leaving the imperial study, the expressions of Lin Qiye and Huo Qubing did not change much. In contrast, Chloe was dejected all the way with a face full of resentment.

"You'd better give up the idea of ​​establishing a religion in the Han Dynasty. Your ideas are not suitable here." Lin Qiye couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chloe's expression, and comforted her softly.

"Alas..." Chloe said helplessly, "The Han Dynasty has a large population and a vast territory. If we leave here, I don't know how long and how far we will have to walk before we can find a suitable place."

Chloe's steps suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something, and she grabbed Lin Qiye's sleeve.

"Hey, aren't you from the future? Was I successful in your time?"

Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and said, "Very successful."

Chloe's eyes lit up when she heard this answer, "Then can you tell me where I succeeded? Where should I go?"

Lin Qiye opened his mouth and was about to say something, then hesitated and said, "Wait a moment."

Lin Qiye raised his fingertips slightly, and in his field of vision, a thread of cause and effect floated out from his fingertips and extended into nothingness. He frowned, as if he was calculating something.

After a moment, he put away the thread of cause and effect, shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have told you this. Otherwise, I would not only be entangled in a huge cause and effect, but would also change the course of history... You can only explore it yourself."

Outside the city of Chang'an, Lin Qiye has realized that his actions may be a destined part of history, but this does not mean that all his actions are within this scope.

For example, if he had just chopped Emperor Wu of Han with a sword in the imperial study, the history of the Han Dynasty would have undergone earth-shaking changes, and everything in the future might have been in chaos. Of course, a normal Lin Qiye would never do such a thing, so this possibility did not happen in history.

Lin Qiye has been wondering why he is the only one who has returned to this era?

Now he has a guess, because if Chloe from the future sends anyone back to this era, it will be accompanied by great risks, because this era is too far away from the future. Every move here may cause earth-shaking changes in the future. Even if he burns a book casually, it may cause the demise of a school of thought in later generations.

Once he realizes this, he will inevitably be restrained in doing things and will not even dare to kill anyone, because he does not know whether what he is doing is part of history or will have an impact on the future.

But Lin Qiye is different. He has [unprovoked cause] and [predetermined result]. He can judge whether the cause and effect caused by his own actions will have an impact on the future. He is the only one who can act freely in this era and avoid changes in cause and effect.

"All right……"

Seeing that Lin Qiye was unwilling to disclose, Chloe was a little frustrated, but she was still full of hope for the future after knowing that she was destined to succeed.

"Your Majesty has approved the establishment of the Evil Suppression Division. I should be busy with this in the next few days." Huo Qubing turned to look at Lin Qiye, "Lin Qiye, is the matter you want to prepare urgent? If so, I will work with you first, and then return to Chang'an to get busy."

“No rush.” Lin Qiye waved his hand and said, “Establishing the Evil Suppression Bureau is the most important thing. If you need any help, just let me know.”

There are still more than two thousand years to go before Lin Qiye's era, so there is naturally no need to rush in these two days. Moreover, Lin Qiye must first find a way to deal with the problem that his mental strength cannot withstand the [unprovoked cause] and [predetermined result]. He does not want to kill himself or go crazy before things are done.

After last night's battle, Lin Qiye did feel a little mentally exhausted. Those two abilities put too much strain on his brain. It was obvious that the two-month deadline mentioned by the little boy was already the most optimistic estimate.

Huo Qubing thought seriously for a moment and said, "There are indeed places where I need your help."

"What?"

"There are many things to deal with when setting up the Evil Suppression Bureau, but our current members only number about ten people... We are a bit short of manpower." Huo Qubing paused for a moment.

"This Marquis has issued a call for the recruitment of extraordinary people throughout the country. In the next few days, a large number of extraordinary people will come to Chang'an, but there will definitely be people who want to take advantage of the situation, and there are also people whose personalities are not suitable for joining the Suppression of Evil Division. This Marquis hopes that you can select suitable extraordinary people for the Suppression of Evil Division as our first batch of members."

"Screening for talents... no problem."

Lin Qiye nodded without hesitation. Distinguishing extraordinary people, rating their abilities, and assessing their character might be a big hassle for people of this era, but for Lin Qiye, it was not difficult at all.

After all, he was a training camp instructor, and now he has the help of [Unexplained Reason]. In every aspect, he is far ahead of the extraordinary people of this era.

"By the way, will this have no impact on your karma?" Huo Qubing asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Lin Qiye smiled. "Anyway, I'm just interviewing and screening them. At most, I'll meet them once. I have my own way to deal with such a small cause and effect."

Huo Qubing nodded and said, "I will give you an address. The place where we screen the talents is right there... I estimate that we can handle everything in four days at most."

An hour later.

Squeak——!

The heavy door of the house was slowly pushed open, and the dry and cracked fallen leaves on the ground were blown up by the wind. Withered branches grew crookedly in the yard, and spider webs and rat holes were scattered throughout the corners and the house. There was no sign of life as far as the eye could see.

"Brother Qiye, are you sure... this is the Evil Suppression Division?"

Wu Quan looked at the old house in front of him that had been abandoned for who knows how long and asked with a strange expression.

"The Evil Suppression Division is independent of the imperial court and is composed of extraordinary people. Of course, the more secretive it is, the better. Why would it be located in Chang'an?" Lin Qiye shook his head. "The Marquis has already taken people to the valley to select a site for the division. This place is just a place for selecting extraordinary people."

The true location of the Zhenxie Division must not be easily known to the world. Unless the extraordinary person really passes the assessment and becomes a member of the Zhenxie Division, it is impossible to see the real Zhenxie Division. Therefore, the assessment site must be set up separately. This house was given to Huo Qubing by Emperor Wu of Han in his early years, but Huo Qubing did not want it. Now, for the sake of the Zhenxie Division, he went to Emperor Wu of Han to ask for it back.

Lin Qiye was wearing a holly-colored Han Chinese costume, with a white jade token tied around his waist. He slowly walked into the house and glanced around.

"Let's clean up this place. Those who are coming to take the exam should be arriving soon."
