Chapter 311 Chapter 311

The young boy with a long ponytail stood under the tree, looking up at the place in front of him where the 'Qingtong' tree turned into a point of light and dispersed.

Mang Tao still had the same expression as before, but the Savior System felt that there was something different about the boy.

"Host...are you okay?" the salvation system asked cautiously.

Mang Tao came back to his senses, touched his chest, then put his hand down and said, "I'm fine."

"Well... the host has already given up his identity as a human being. How should he explain this to the outside world? How should he tell his family and colleagues? Should he just ignore it and end it as 'missing during the holidays'?" the salvation system inquired.

Mang Tao looked at Bai Yixin: "No need, we have Bai Yixin's mirror puppet."

"Yes, in this way, Qingtong can continue to appear in the world, and no one will worry about his disappearance..." Before the Savior System finished his excited words, Mangtao's cold words were heard.

"The mirror puppet cannot be perfectly controlled like the split soul, and its strength will be greatly reduced. It cannot perform the B mission according to the original level. And it is a waste to control a puppet just to make some people not sad." Mang Tao said, "What I mean is to let the mirror puppet pretend to be Qingtong and find an opportunity to die in the mission. It is best if there is no body left. Without a corpse, the risk of exposure can be reduced, saving worry and effort."

Salvation System: ...

Waste? No remains? Save time and effort?

Host, you don't consider the feelings of your family and your companions at all?

Although I have made a plan for escaping death and have prepared myself mentally, host, aren't your words a bit too cold?

The host's indifference after the central anchor point was fixed made the system a little scared.

The cell phone rang. It was the phone that Qingtong left on the ground after disappearing. Mang Tao picked it up and took a look. It was a missed call from his younger brother Yan Jun.

Mang Tao didn't answer the call. The phone rang for a while and then stopped. It was the ding-dong sound of text message alerts. Mang Tao glanced at it and saw that they were all worried inquiries from Yan Jun.

He has discovered the strange objects and medicines that Qingtong left for him in the backpack. These things have obviously consumed a lot of Qingtong's accumulated merits in the department. Feeling that something was wrong, Yanjun kept sending messages to ask his brother if something had happened.

Mang Tao threw the phone to Bai Yixin: "Just fool around."

Bai Yixin hummed.

The young boy walked away from the tree without noticing that a piece of yellow talisman paper folded into a triangle had fallen under the tree. He stepped on it with his shoe, leaving a dark shoe print on the talisman.

The system that knew everything looked at the amulet that was stepped into the mud and fell silent again.

The two-day holiday passed quickly, and the Qingtong team gathered in Beijing. When they gathered, Huang Tianzhen was carrying large and small bags, all of which were cooked food and specialties packed by his mother. He brought a large bag of tea eggs alone, and he could smell a faint tea fragrance before he opened the bag.

"You guys try it too. My mom is very good at cooking tea leaf eggs." Huang Tianzhen smiled as he distributed tea leaf eggs to Su Sanan and others.

"Not bad, I'm in for a treat."

Gong Qian and Han Qi both happily took them. When Huang Tianzhen brought them to Qingtong, Qingtong was a little slow in taking the tea leaf eggs, so Huang Tianzhen stuffed several of them into her mouth.

"Captain, give it a try."

Qingtong put the tea leaf egg into her bag: "I'm not hungry now."

"Then eat it later, but don't keep it too long. It's still hot now." Huang Tianzhen didn't notice Qingtong's abnormality, and turned to talk about the miserable situation that his mother had been complaining about in the past two days.

Su Sanan and Gong Qian beside him followed suit and also talked about their overly relaxing vacation over the past two days.

Only Hanqi looked at Qingtong with confusion.

His ability allows him to sense beings from far away, but he is unable to detect well-disguised monsters or monsters possessing humans.

The instructor said that if he trained his abilities to the extreme, maybe one day he would become the strongest assistant in discovering strange beings. But not yet.

Han Qi didn't find anything strange about Qingtong. He just instinctively felt deep down that there seemed to be something wrong with the captain beside him.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

"Captain, where are we going for our next mission?" Han Qi asked.

Huang Tianzhen and the others stopped talking and turned to look at him.

Qingtong took out his phone and opened the Weird Department's software, scrolling through the task list: "The tasks in Chang'an have been handed over to other teams. Let's go to another place... Yaoping City."

"Ah? But there is only one C-level mission there." Huang Tianzhen said, "Aren't we doing B-level?"

"Warm up with C-level first." Qingtong accepted the task, "Then do B-level next."

"Oh." Su Sanan and Gong Qian nodded without any doubt.

Only Han Qi frowned slightly as he looked at the introduction of Yaoping City. This is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years and a world-famous tourist attraction. However, even in such a place with a long history, there have not been many high-level monsters after the Red Sun. The highest is only the current C-level.

It's a bit abnormal, making people feel like they are holding back some big move.

But there is no mastermind behind this strange appearance. Everything is random, maybe just a coincidence.

Hanqi turned off his phone and started searching for travel guides for Yaoping City, but somehow he couldn't calm down.

An inexplicable feeling of irritability.

"Hey, look at this." Huang Tianzhen pointed to the news that popped up on his phone and said, "Led by the United States, many major countries in the Western Continent have jointly announced that they will carry out a plan to 'eliminate the weird and go to the alien world'! They call on major countries in the Eastern Continent to cooperate in the action and contribute to the future of the world."

"Ah? What's going on?" Su Sanan walked over.

"Really? The live broadcast of the other world was not long ago, how could it happen so quickly?"

"I don't know." Gong Qian also opened the news page on his mobile phone. Sure enough, the salvation declaration led by the United States was on the headlines. "Many countries in the Eastern Continent followed suit, including Ross, Han, Ni and even the small country of Dotal."

"A world conference is about to be held." Su Sanan smiled and said, "If all the weirdos are excluded and go to another world, will we be out of work?"

"It's good to be unemployed." Han Qi spread his hands, "This job is so dangerous, I'd rather not do it if I can."

If the world wasn't so dangerous and it wasn't so difficult to live as an ordinary person, he might not have done this job.

"Come to think of it, last week a team was wiped out." Gong Qian said in a low voice, "Their strength was only C-level, and the mission they accepted was also C-level. After they arrived, they found that there was a B-level monster hiding behind the scenes, and the corpse was not even complete..."

The atmosphere was slightly depressing.

Qingtong: "Okay, this is not something we should worry about. Let's wait for notification from above."

"Um."

The capital city, the headquarters of the strange response department.

Si Zai rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"World Conference... Ha, I never thought that one day I would be qualified to step into the lobby of a World Conference." Si Zai frowned and looked at his adjutant, "Isn't this the job of a diplomat?"

"No matter what, it has nothing to do with me, a small minister in a weird department, right? They asked for my opinion, what opinion do I have?"

Nong Xiangming adjusted his glasses and said, "What they said above is that if there is a need, you can take up a nominal position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Anyway, you must go this time. Not only you, but I have to go too."

No department is run by just one person, so it is not uncommon for someone to take on a concurrent role under special circumstances.

A long time ago, China was harassed at the table in order to buy a new fighter jet from the North, and did not want to sell it. In order to achieve the goal, China directly found a good drinker. The good drinker did not have a high position and looked thin. Originally, he had nothing to do at the negotiation table, but since his natural drinking ability could be used this time, he naturally had to play. The result was that the thin man drank the other party so much that they not only agreed to sell, but also reduced the price.

Sometimes negotiation diplomacy may not be so serious, and the person negotiating does not necessarily have to be a big shot. Just send someone who can do the job and achieve the goal.

Who in the upper echelons knows more about weird things than Si Zai, the head of the weird response department? This world conference is obviously to discuss related matters. If we don't bring people who understand these things, are we just waiting to be fooled?

"Ah." Si Zai sighed and pointed at the news on his computer. "Talk? So many big countries have agreed. Are we really going to talk? And they even said 'for the future of mankind'. If we don't agree, we will become sinners of the world."

"And there's the shadow of the Light Organization behind this." Si Zai rubbed his brows. "If we can exclude all the weirdos and go to another world, it will definitely be a great thing. I agree with it wholeheartedly. But this matter is led by the United States, which is controlled by the weirdos, and I'm very worried. I always feel that there may be a trap behind this. Besides, we don't know anything about things like the 'different world'."

“To negotiate with someone about something you don’t understand is to be led by the nose.”

Nong Xiangming looked at him and said, "Do you have any other solution? Can we not go?"

"It's definitely not possible not to go." Si Zai stood up, "Forget it, let's go."

"All the information about the members of Denghuo, the strange information, and the files related to the strange live broadcast during this period." Si Zai said to Nong Xiangming, "Sort them all out for me, I want to go through them again."

"Why don't you call Bai Yixin directly?" Nong Xiangming said, "They must have the answer. Even if they don't want to tell us, we can probably find out something indirectly."

"Ha, it's not like I haven't fought them before." Si Zai said, "But since yesterday, I haven't been able to contact them. I also went to Jiuxia Mountain."

"You went? Alone?"

"What else can we do? We've already been warned, so which brother would go and die? I want to go on my own, and I will bear the consequences alone."

"What's the result?"

"After walking to Jiuxia Mountain and trying to go deeper, I encountered strange walls every time and was sent back." Si Zai said, "I was worried that there would be something more dangerous than the strange wall, so I didn't try again. The space there should have been isolated, like a strange domain... Not really, the strange domain is just a fixed barrier."

"Anyway, I have announced that place as a restricted area. No one is allowed to approach. The road to Jiuxia Mountain and the foot of the mountain have been blocked."

"I hope there will be fewer people seeking death." Si Zai smiled bitterly, "One wave has not yet subsided when another wave comes. I really can't live in peace recently."
