Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Finale (Part 2...
After obtaining the exact location, General Yan quickly sent people to rescue the submarine. After a short period of recuperation, all the personnel on the submarine were rescued.
The Indian lady met the Korean double-door hunter on her way to look for sea snakes. The two engaged in a fierce fight. Although the Indian lady won a narrow victory, she also missed the opportunity to hunt sea snakes and ultimately had to return home with regret - Shen Run became the undisputed winner of this competition.
The competition time notified by the Joint Agency was five days. Chen Run finished the competition in less than five days, becoming the fastest to select an executive officer among all the continents. In the end, the office of the Asian executive officer was set up in Shanghai, and personnel had to be recruited and the organization had to be set up.
After working non-stop for two months, the Asian Psychic Executive Agency was finally established. Chen Run didn't dare to let herself have any free time or time to free her mind. Whenever she heard about the things she was doing, she would involuntarily start to think of Chi Shuangliu. In the past two months, her average rest time per week was less than six hours. Fortunately, she was a psychic. If she was an ordinary person, everyone would have had a feast by now.
After having a preliminary framework, she formally submitted her application to the Joint Commission and applied for a passport to the United States.
The United Agency is arguably the place with the most powerful people with special abilities in the world. From the outside, it looks like a huge high-rise building, towering into the sky. However, the foundation that stores special abilities is built a hundred meters underground. After going through layers of approval, Shen Run finally made it downstairs and obtained the pair of letter cups that are said to make wishes come true.
From the appearance, this pair of signal cups are the peach wood cups commonly used for divination in coastal areas. The signal cups are crescent-shaped and have two sides, front and back.
When asking questions to the Holy Grail, the time, place, people and status must be clearly stated. Otherwise, even if the Holy Grail is thrown twice, the realization of the wish may be biased. For example, someone asked "Can I make two million this year?" and finally he was hit by a luxury car and became disabled. The car owner was afraid of causing trouble and compensated him two million.
The correct question to ask is "Can I earn 2 million this year doing XX job?"
When he picked up the letter cup, Chen Run's fingers trembled a little. He cast aside all distracting thoughts and desperately repeated the question in his mind, "Can Chi Shuangliu return to me safely within a year?" He asked the question for the first time with trembling fingers.
One positive and one negative, the Holy Grail, represents that things are feasible.
Because of excitement, Shen Run's palms were slightly sweaty, and the letter cup in her hand almost slipped out. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then threw it out for the second time without hesitation.
Two opposite sides, a Yin cup, represent that things cannot be accomplished.
Shen Run's mood quickly sank to the bottom. The ups and downs of extreme joy and sorrow tortured her nerves so violently that she even felt a little breathless.
She stared at the two letter cups lying on the ground, facing upside down.
If she throws out a Holy Grail that turns upside down and a Holy Grail that turns upside down, the probability of Chi Shuangliu coming back will increase to more than 80%. But if she throws out a Yin Cup that turns upside down, it means that the probability of Chi Shuangliu coming back to her will be reduced to minus 200% - that is, he will never come back to her again.
Her mouth felt dry, and she subconsciously wanted to bend down to pick up the letter cup, but when her fingers were about to touch it, she hesitated.
Do I have to throw it three times in one breath?
Anyway, the rules don't require her to use up all three throwing opportunities in one go. Should she wait until she's lucky?
She is now one of the immortal species, and she can afford to wait for several years, decades, or even hundreds of years.
As long as he doesn't throw it out for the last time, Chi Shuangliu still has hope of coming back, but once the worst result is thrown out, Chi Shuangliu will never be able to come back.
Although hope is torturous, it is much better than complete despair.
The more Chen Run thought about it, the more confused his mind became. He even felt a little short of oxygen due to overusing his brain.
The balance in her heart was wavering. She said hello to the people from the Joint Office and decided to go out for a walk to clear her mind.
Unexpectedly, she had just walked out of the door of the Joint Office and was blocked by a luxury supercar.
The car door suddenly opened, and a cool guy in a suit and sunglasses hurried out of the car. He blocked Shen Run's way and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is there any result? Can my Lord come back?"
Shen Run's brain was still confused, and it took him a pause to recognize who the person in front of him was: "...Cao Xun?"
The adopted son of the chairman of the Sun Umbrella Board, voluntarily surrendered to Chi Shuangliu in order to seize power. The other people were more or less forced to be marked by Chi Shuangliu, but this guy was the only one who voluntarily believed in Chi Shuangliu and was a real cultist.
The news of the previous war between gods had attracted attention from all walks of life and it was difficult to conceal it completely. Cao Xun had the mark of Chi Shuangliu on his body, and he was interested in finding out. He soon learned that Chen Run was coming to the Joint Office to borrow props to help Chi Shuangliu return, so he ran to the door of the Joint Office impatiently to block him.
Cao Xun looked as if his father had disappeared: "Didn't you come to the Joint Office to borrow the letter cup? How did it turn out?"
"...The letter cup needs to be tossed three times, and I haven't tossed it for the last time." Chen Run didn't want to pay attention to him, but seeing his anxious look, she inexplicably told him the results of the first two tosses: "...Do you think I should toss it now for the last time?"
"certainly!"
Cao Xun answered without hesitation.
"The final throw will have to happen sooner or later. You can't keep putting it off, right? The sooner you throw the Holy Grail, the sooner my Lord can return."
Chen Run: "...What if the Yin Cup is thrown?"
Cao Xun was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "I have to throw the Yin Cup. I believe my master is powerful and will not be affected by the negative power of the Xin Cup. He will definitely return safely."
"...you're right."
Chen Run was actually persuaded by Cao Xun's extremely unreliable reason, or perhaps she had already been inclined to give a positive answer, but just lacked someone to confirm her behavior.
After a brief trance of a few seconds, she ran back to the bottom of the Joint Office at the fastest speed. This time, she threw the letter cup high into the air without any hesitation.
She focused all her attention on the pair of holy grails that were thrown up. Time seemed to stand still and everything around her turned into a slow-motion movie. She watched intently as the grates fell one by one.
The moment the letter cup fell to the ground, she heard a "click" sound before she could even see whether it fell on the front or the back.
Then she saw the image of the letter cup shattering - this result was even worse than throwing the Yin cup.
Almost instantly, Chen Run fell into unconsciousness and instinctively lay on the ground, trying to glue the shattered letter cup back together.
Chen Run did not apply for a loan, but only for internal use within the Joint Office, so her use of the items was monitored throughout by the Joint Office staff. When they saw that Chen Run had damaged the foundation's items, someone immediately rushed in and asked her to take responsibility for the matter.
People become dull after suffering a major blow. Shen Run's brain could no longer process any other information. She watched helplessly as a group of people broke into the single room where letter cup C103 was stored, handcuffed her, and took her to a closed interrogation room, but she did not react at all.
......
"Did our new Asian executive really break down C103?"
On the 23rd floor of the Joint Office, several senior executives were sitting in their office chatting.
"Yes, but we checked the surveillance footage. The letter cup was damaged on its own, not intentionally by her. Furthermore, it's a Class C supernatural item. The punishment is a day in solitary confinement, six months of supernatural education, and a fine..." He punched in a number on the computer: "One hundred thousand US dollars. This matter is over."
This incident was not a big deal and did not cause any serious consequences. Although the letter cup is famous and useful, it is ultimately an auxiliary item with a low rating, and the punishment for destroying it is much lighter.
Suddenly someone waved their hands to stop him: "No, no, no... I think this is a good opportunity."
He stroked his chin. "China's number of psychics is second only to the United Agency. They're incredibly powerful, and they've already established a comprehensive system for controlling psychics. We often have a lot of friction with them, and this time the selection officer is Chinese. If this continues, they might even replace our United Agency's international standing among psychics."
He smiled sinisterly. "Perhaps we can take this opportunity to show this newly appointed executive officer a bit of strength. How about having her sign a confession? If she refuses, we can continue to detain her and prevent her from returning to officially assume her position."
Someone reminded us, "She's an S+ superpowered expert and the fastest clearing officer in the world. Can we control her?"
"This is the Joint Office, the place with the most powerful superpowers in the world." He smiled and said, "Let the four Nelson brothers do it."
......
The Joint Agency's solitary confinement cell is a place specifically for detaining high-level psychics. In addition to the specially made outer walls, it is also equipped with tables, chairs, beds, and even a toilet at the innermost part.
After being locked up, Shen Run sat on the edge of the bed, replaying the image of the letter cup cracking in his mind.
She held her head in pain.
As dusk deepened, a strong sense of crisis suddenly crept up her back. Out of fighting instinct, she suddenly turned over and sat up.
But the action was still delayed for a second, and by the time she reacted, she was completely unable to move.
Four figures gradually emerged in the confinement room. Judging from the fluctuations of their superpowers, they should only be S-level, but their superpowers almost had a mutual reinforcement effect. The four of them superimposed on each other were even more terrifying. Chen Run couldn't even move a finger at this moment.
The leader of the four brothers handed over a document written entirely in English: "Executive Officer Shen, as long as you sign your name on this document and swear to be loyal to the Joint Agency instead of any other organization or department in the future, you can leave."
He added with a smile, "Of course, as a psychic, it's only natural that you pledge allegiance to the Joint Agency. This document is a special item. Once you swear allegiance, the contract above will be enforced."
His words were very tactful, which translated into - after signing your name, you will become a loyal member of the joint signature.
Chen Run wanted to refuse without hesitation, but found that his mouth was no longer obedient.
She tried hard to mobilize her special powers, and the mycelium climbed along the floor, but because of the previous mental trauma, the mycelium moved extremely slowly.
Seeing her hand picking up the pen uncontrollably, and just as she was about to put aside all distracting thoughts and try to mobilize her supernatural powers, she saw the four brothers suddenly explode into a bloody mist in front of her.
After a brief moment of shock, she quickly regained her mobility, but was embraced in a familiar embrace the next second.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she felt her lips being pressed against hers and her lips and teeth being pried apart. The moment their tongues touched, she instinctively kissed him back.
It was unknown how long it took before she was released, panting and saying in a slightly choked voice, "Chi Shuangliu."
He hugged her again.
