Chapter 12 Fu Qing is very worried about you
Jing Yuan was an action-oriented person, and with Russia's full cooperation, he quickly caught the culprit who orchestrated the riot.
A jet-black six-pointed star floated in Jing Yuan's palm. He said to Fyodor and Gogol, "This thing is the reason for the mutations that occurred in you."
Fyodor and Gogol exchanged a glance before slowly approaching Jing Yuan and asking, "What is this?"
Although neither of them were sensory-type ability users, they could clearly sense the thick malice emanating from this thing. Moreover, just by getting a little closer, Fyodor and Gogol felt as if their souls were being torn in two.
After taking several steps back, Fyodor and Gogol felt a little easier to breathe, but even so, they still had splitting headaches.
Seeing the pain on their faces, Jing Yuan added several more layers of seal to the strange object in his hand, which made Fyodor and Gogol feel much better.
"What a strange thing." Gogol felt a lingering fear.
Without Jing Yuan's help, it's hard to imagine how he, Ferdol, and Pushkin would have been affected.
“It’s definitely not a good thing; it’s an amalgamation of all kinds of evil thoughts.” Jing Yuan explained in a more accessible way, “You can also think of it as the malice of the world.”
“The malice of the world…” Gogol muttered a few words, then suddenly remembered something that had happened in Fuyuki City, Japan many years ago, and tentatively asked, “All the evil in this world?”
“You can understand it that way too.” Jing Yuan had also heard Gin explain the ins and outs of the magic world to him, so he understood why Gogol would associate it with the black mud that emerged from the Holy Grail. “However, this is not its complete form, but only a fragment for you.”
"This thing actually varies from person to person?" Gogol found it even more bizarre.
"I don't even know when I became so hated." Fyodor crossed his arms, somewhat speechless.
As a nobody in the Russian supernatural world, Fyodor spends most of his time at school. When he does need to go on missions with Pushkin, he keeps a very low profile and has never even used his real name. He really can't figure out what he did to offend the world's consciousness.
“I don’t know about that,” Jing Yuan said with a smile. “But you don’t need to worry. I will take it away and seal it away. The abnormalities on your bodies will probably be restored soon.”
Fyodor and Gogol exchanged a glance and then nodded.
Only after Jing Yuan left did Fyodor ask, "Is it really okay to just let Jing Yuan take the things away like this?"
Even if Jing Yuan helped Russia solve a major problem, and even if Jing Yuan was a helper summoned by Ilya, Russia still had to be wary of him and the forces behind him when they saw how easily he could control the evil in the world.
“Jingyuan is not our enemy, nor is Huaguo.” Gogol pressed his top hat to his chest and earnestly instructed Fyodor, “Don’t do anything unnecessary.”
“I understand.” Fyodor was no fool. He didn’t want to offend Jing Yuan, nor did he want to create unnecessary enemies for his country. The reason he asked the question was to test the attitude of the Russian high command represented by Gogol.
Meanwhile, after Jing Yuan sealed away the "malice of the world," he contacted Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan looked somewhat tired, apparently having been very busy lately. However, upon seeing Jing Yuan, he forced himself to perk up and pretended not to be tired at all: "What? Is there something you need my help with again?"
"Wow, you saw right through me." Jing Yuan praised, feigning admiration. "Truly worthy of being General Fu Xuan."
Despite his inner joy, Fu Xuan didn't show it on his face, only slightly raising his chin: "Speak plainly."
Jing Yuan didn't waste any words and directly presented "The Malice of the World": "Fu Qing, can you tell what this is?"
After examining it carefully, Fu Xuan said somewhat uncertainly, "Is this malevolent intent?"
“That’s right.” Jing Yuan didn’t keep them in suspense. “And it’s the evil of the world.”
So he described in detail what had happened to him in Russia during that time to Fu Xuan.
"The world you live in is truly fascinating." Fu Xuan couldn't help but marvel. "Not only can it conquer other worlds, but it even possesses such wondrous objects. I'm starting to wonder if this is some kind of Star God's playground."
Recalling the past record of a certain star god giving his power to an insect, Jing Yuan also felt that it was not impossible. However, before having conclusive evidence, it was better not to casually shift the blame to a star god who liked to have fun.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Did you go to the Flower Kingdom?" More than what the Star God of Joy had done in this world, Fu Xuan was more concerned about the Flower Kingdom, which had a great connection with his hometown, the Immortal Boat. "Is there any difference between that place and our Luofu?"
“I haven’t gone yet,” Jing Yuan said. “I’m in Russia now, and I plan to go to the Flower Country in a while. Anyway, the two countries are close to each other, and when the river freezes in winter, I can walk across it to the Flower Country.”
Fu Xuan understood his feelings and smiled, "It's rare to see you so conflicted. Alright, I won't rush you, but Yan Qing knows that you're raising another child, so you should think about how to explain it to him first."
Jing Yuan was somewhat amused and exasperated: "I only took care of Hai for a period of time, so it can't really be considered raising a child."
"You can fool me with that, but don't fool yourself." Fu Xuan gloated. "If you can't appease Yanqing, your wallet will be bleeding out. I heard that Zhu Ming has made a few more divine weapons, and I don't think Yanqing will miss this opportunity."
What opportunity? An opportunity to take advantage of one's master?
Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly: "Fu Qing, Fu Qing, you've really gone astray."
Only Fu Xuan knew about his affair with Rokudo Mukuro, and now that it had reached Yan Qing's ears, it was hard to say that Fu Xuan hadn't embellished the story.
“There’s no way around it. People with pure hearts can’t become generals.” Fu Xuan put his hands on his hips smugly. “Besides, if you hadn’t broken the contract first, why would I have told Yan Qing about this? Jing Yuan, you’re the one who handed this leverage to me.”
After exchanging a few words, the two turned the conversation back to the strange object in Jing Yuan's hands.
“If, as you say, this malice is directed at Russian ability users, then there must also be some targeting ability users in other countries,” Fu Xuan said. “You’d better seal this dangerous thing away as soon as possible.”
“That’s what I think too,” Jing Yuan said. “Especially since the different worlds have only recently merged, if we don’t seal away the evil thoughts, I’m afraid it will cause a huge mess.”
There are hundreds of countries on this planet, and Russia is one of the five most powerful forces. If something happens to Russia, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire international situation. At that time, it is unknown how many innocent people will die in the war, not to mention that the situation in Eastern Europe is already very tense.
“I learned something from Fyodor—there’s a book in Yokohama that could change the world,” Jingyuan said. “Although Yokohama is on the border of Japan, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Japanese government. Many Western countries have laboratories there, and America even has a military base there. The situation is quite complicated.”
“Since the Russian supernatural community already knows this information, then the supernatural communities in other countries must also know it. Yokohama is now like a child carrying a rich man in the middle of the city.” Fu Xuan sighed, “It’s just a pity for the innocent civilians.”
“What I’m curious about now is who leaked this information.” Jing Yuan toyed with the strange object in his hand. “According to Fyodor, this information suddenly appeared in their minds.”
"That sounds a bit like Kafka's ability," Fu Xuan remarked. "Don't those Star Core Hunters always say they have to pick the most promising one from countless destinies and then work tirelessly to bring it to fruition?"
“Fu Qing, prejudice is unacceptable,” Jing Yuan said. “Although that’s what they did, the things that happened on this planet weren’t really done by them.”
How did you determine that?
“I called and asked,” Jing Yuan said.
Fu Xuan blinked, as if he had heard something unbelievable: "You, called the Star Core Hunter?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Jing Yuan tilted his head innocently.
Is there a problem with this?
Is there a problem?
Is there a problem?
Is this a question?
Right?
This is a huge problem!
In an instant, news headlines like "Shocking! Retired Luofu General colludes with Star Core Hunter to control the new world" flashed through Fu Xuan's mind, followed by the image of Marshal Hua tearfully beheading Jing Yuan.
"Fu Qing, what are you thinking?" Jing Yuan said helplessly, interrupting his junior's wild imagination. "Qing Zu has been waiting for you for a while with the documents in his hand."
Fu Xuan suddenly came to her senses. She glared at Jing Yuan, then took the document handed to her by Qing Zu and said, "I'll hear your explanation after I've finished dealing with this matter!"
"Very well, Jingyuan is at your service."
