Who is the wolf?

In the following half month, Luo Tan and Xu Cheng followed the clues given by the female ghost and various legends, and gradually found many gods.

Perhaps the invasion of foreign souls made many gods feel something strange, and most of these gods woke up quickly.

Only a few gods who were sleeping soundly were abandoned by them, allowing other awakened gods to annex their territories.

In this way, the time required to complete a task that was originally expected to take a lifetime was greatly shortened, and it was almost completed in just two weeks.

Eighty percent of the land on the earth will no longer be invaded by aliens, and the gods promised to drive them away the moment they found their traces. The rest of the land is mostly desolate deserts and salt beaches, or peaks that humans cannot set foot on, so there is no need to look for gods any further.

Even the gods were happy to form a cooperative relationship with them.

After all, for them, the work of driving away foreign souls requires constant attention, so it is a bit annoying, but it must be said that the effect of "Cyber ​​Wooden Fish" is really good, and it has increased their believers several times in an instant! Who doesn't want to try it!

Xu Cheng was puzzled by this result.

He felt that gods should be pure and indifferent, not causing any dust or smoke. How could such a thing be so tempting to them?

Luo Tan said quietly: "Do you know about 996 and the last-in-first-out system?"

Xu Cheng:?

Luo Chen: "If there is only one god in this world, then of course He can have whatever He wants, or He can want nothing, so He will not be attracted by the conditions we put forward."

"But once there are more gods, there will be a market, and with a market, there will be competition. Even if some gods are not interested in how much territory their believers have at first, when they find that other gods have accepted our olive branch, they will think, why do others have it but I don't? Then, they will inevitably fall into a logical vicious circle of suspecting that they have lost something important, and thus they will agree to our request without hesitation."

"When the first god started working at 9 am and left work at 9 pm, working six days a week, he gained more believers. Immediately, countless gods followed suit."

"Although some gods are not so interested in expanding their territory, he knows that if he leaves it alone, his territory will be invaded by other gods who have received our help. In order to prevent himself from being eliminated at the end, he has no choice but to agree to us."

Luo Tan changed the subject: "But in fact, as more and more gods cooperate with us, they may gradually find that they have changed from rolling up temples and statues offline to rolling up points and high ratings online. Each god has not received more things, but the work they do has indeed increased."

She concluded: "But for us, the best way to get others to work hard for the results you want is to get everyone involved."

Xu Cheng: "...What a thief."

Luo Tan sighed.

If it weren't for the tight schedule and heavy workload, she wouldn't want to do this.

In modern times, she was still cursing capitalists for oppressing and exploiting workers, but here she suddenly turns into a capitalist.

How despairing.

But I have to say that modern methods are really useful. Even gods are no different from ordinary people.

During this month, Luo Tan and Xu Cheng did not encounter any new assassination attempts, as if because of the previous high-profile investigation, the people behind them were temporarily hesitant to act rashly.

But the corresponding thing is...

Luo Chen carefully felt the system in his brain.

She could still feel a part of her brain occupied by something foreign, but the feeling and connection had become weaker over time.

She has rarely received predictive alerts from the system in recent days.

As for Xiao Ai, who directly reflects the activity of the system, she only slept once a day at first, and then her wakefulness time gradually decreased to four or five hours, and then to one or two hours. Later... the last time Luo Tan talked to Xiao Ai was three days ago.

Luo Tan narrowed his eyes.

.

Andre was processing official documents in the palace. Halfway through, a servant suddenly came in to report that Luo Tan had returned.

It’s been half a month, and I’m finally back!

Andre quickly piled the documents he hadn't reviewed on the table, put his pen in the pen holder, and stood up: "I'll go see her!"

He had just taken two steps when he saw the servant stop where he was, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

The attendant cried, "As soon as the princess entered the palace, she fainted and vomited a large mouthful of blood!"

Andre's eyes widened: "How could this happen?"

Andre looked very surprised, with deep worry in his eyes, but if you look closely at his expression, you will find that he is trembling strangely from the tips of his eyebrows to the corners of his eyes and lips.

But the anxious guards noticed nothing.

He just quickly reported everything he knew to Andre: "I initially thought that it was too tiring to live outdoors for half a month. But when I left there, I happened to hear the nurse who was taking care of the princess say that the poison in the princess' body had spread to all her internal organs!"

Andre closed his eyes.

When his eyes opened again, he said quickly, "I'll go see her now."

"By the way." He turned around and asked, "How many people know about this now?"

Guard: "Ah? I think the whole palace knows about it. It's spreading from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred..."

Andre looked unhappy: "You have also passed it on to quite a few people, right?"

The guards rarely saw Wang Chu, who was usually good-tempered, show this expression, and for a moment they forgot to reply.

Andrei understood what was going on when he saw his expression. He scolded, "Nonsense! I'm really afraid that at this juncture, the person who poisoned her will get wind of the news and take further action."

.

"ah--"

Andre sat in front of Luo Tan's bed, fed her a mouthful of medicine soup personally, and then carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a towel.

In fact, logically speaking, his actions were a bit beyond the line. After all, Luo Tan was only his father's adopted daughter, and could be considered his godsister. There was no blood relationship between them, and overly intimate actions would easily arouse criticism.

However, considering Andre's anxious look at the moment, no one present could blame him.

Andre handed the empty medicine bowl to the maid and asked the doctor standing by with his head bowed in a stern look, "What on earth is going on?"

"Why are you vomiting blood for no reason? And why are you in this state?"

Andre looked towards Luo Chen, but saw that the girl who used to be very smart now had empty eyes without a trace of spirit. Her eyes flickered, sometimes to his fingers, sometimes to the towel on the table, and sometimes to the medicine bowl in the maid's hand.

It can be seen that her eyes were just mechanically following the moving objects, without any trace of thought.

The doctor said solemnly: "The princess was poisoned with two kinds of drugs. The first one is a poison we have tested that may cause her organs to fail within a month. This drug is also the culprit that caused her to vomit blood."

Andre was puzzled: "No, since you had already detected this poison last time, why didn't you diagnose and treat it in time, but instead delayed it until now?"

The nurse popped her head aside, looking somewhat innocent: "We treated the princess, so the poison should have been cleared last time, but the princess was poisoned again."

She shook her head and said, "It's really strange. This time, even the food the princess brought on the road was brought from the palace. We have repeatedly tested it and found no problems. Why did the princess get poisoned again? And there was nothing wrong with Inspector Xu."

Seeing that Wang Chu looked unwell, the doctor hurriedly added, "Fortunately, the princess was not out for long this time. Although she suffered some damage due to the accumulation of toxins, it is not too serious. I have just treated the princess."

Andre's expression eased a little: "Then..."

The doctor sighed: "It's the second toxin that's really difficult to deal with."

"The second toxin acts on the nerves. We have never seen this substance before, so we were careless last time and thought it was not a poison. But even if we know it now, we still have no way to extract it."

The doctor's eyes fell on Luo Tan's confused face: "This is also the reason why the princess has become like this."

Emperor Nicholas, who was standing by, said anxiously, "Is there really no other way? No, has medicine been left behind in all these years of scientific development?"

The most famous doctor in the country shook his head: "I can complete an operation in a very short time, and I can also use scientific methods to pull a dying patient back from the brink of death. But I can't extract a substance from the patient's body that I don't even know what it is. Moreover, we don't know how this poison got into the princess' body, or..." For the first time, the doctor's face showed a confused expression: "Maybe it's not a substance, but an inexplicable influence."

Nicholas was about to collapse. Emotionally, he wanted to imitate the legendary ancient emperor and yell, "If she can't recover, you will all be buried with her!"

But rationally, he just couldn't do that.

Or rather, even if he did, he knew it would be of no use.

At this time, the strongest emotion in his heart was guilt towards Luo Tan.

If she hadn't predicted the natural disaster, she wouldn't have incurred the jealousy of the people behind her, and wouldn't have been hunted down for touching their cakes...

In other words, could it be that it was precisely because of the protection and attention given to her by the royal family that the enemies in the dark were more likely to target her?

Nicholas sat dejectedly in his chair, and for the first time in his heart he felt powerless.

At this moment, a shiny object fell out of Luo Tan's sleeve.

The nurse picked up the object and found it was a dagger inlaid with gems.

She handed the dagger to Andre.

Andre was a little surprised: "Why give it to me?"

The nurse said: "The princess was not like this at the beginning. When she was still conscious, she asked you to return the dagger to you. After all, she would not need it in the future..."

A tear fell from the corner of Andre's eye.

Amid the watery light, he looked at his nominal sister with extremely complicated feelings.

He slightly turned aside to avoid people until he had wiped away the tears that were pouring out. Then he sighed and said, "It's better to stay with her. In case she can still... wake up, at least she can be used for self-defense."

…

Outside the crowd, Xu Cheng was watching this scene in silence.

Emperor Nicholas had just taken the quick-acting heart-saving pill from his servant and swallowed it without having time to wash it down with water. He looked at Luo Chen with a look of sorrow and guilt.

Andre's eyes were red as he was blowing the medicine to cool Luo Chen's burn mouth. He looked at Luo Chen's expression which was so painful.

Brother Hei was like a helpless child. He no longer had the decisiveness and ruthlessness he had when he was the leader of the Black Gang. He walked around Luo Tan's bed with his hands behind his back, asking the medical staff a question from time to time, and seemed to be thinking seriously about a solution.

Simba, the chief steward, told the servants and maids to move gently and be careful not to disturb Luo Tan's rest. He looked at Luo Tan with the same sadness and regret, and if you look closely, you can see a hint of self-blame.

Every maid and servant present hung their heads and held their breath. They stared at Luo Tan with genuine sadness in their eyes, as if they wanted to endure such torturous pain on her behalf.

…

There were so many people present, and everyone was genuinely sad and grief-stricken.

There is not a trace of performance.
