"I think you should know Dongzhou Executive Officer Shen An. He is my biological brother, a genius who perfectly inherited the Shen family's talent for prophecy detection. When I was in school, I knew that many people praised him."
"However, as a younger brother, I couldn't even make a small prediction before the pollution outbreak. As a result, I was called 'a member of the Shen family without the ability to predict' and received a lot of sympathetic and pitying looks. Even my supposed good friends approached me for Shen An."
In another room of the Happy Chess and Card Room, Shen Rong poured a glass of water for Bai Yu and said slowly.
Bai Yu leaned back on the soft chair, thanked him, and asked, "So...are you jealous of him?"
They are obviously of the same blood, but one is a genius and the other is a mediocre person. The latter is destined to live in the shadow of the former.
Chen Rong chuckled: "I remember that I was very envious and happy at the time, because he was very good to me. Even when everyone, including my father and grandfather, thought that I would no longer have the ability to predict, he was still very good to me and even made many small predictions for me."
"He can always make very accurate predictions, including what kind of clothes the principal will wear today, what will be in this year's holiday gift package, and what kind of awakening ability the transfer student will have. In short, there are many people who look for him, and there are also many people who like him."
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "So what's the point of this?"
He thought Shen Rong's words meant that he had turned from a nobleman into a cold and cruel traitor because he had lived under the shadow of his brother since childhood, but it seemed that was not the case.
Bai Yu was not very interested in listening to the love-hate relationship between the Shen brothers.
...
...
"Sorry, I've said too much foreword."
Chen Rong took a sip of the boiled water that had cooled down beside her, her glassy eyes raised.
"What I mean is that no matter how many small predictions you make or how accurate they are, it is meaningless. What's the point of knowing what someone will wear the next day? If you can't predict the most crucial things, then the existence of the prophet is meaningless."
Bai Yu's hand paused, his light green eyes narrowed slightly, motioning him to continue.
Chen Rong put down the water, his eyes slightly curved:
"I actually like Liuyin City very much. Even though it is very remote and desolate, and the economy has declined due to the depletion of silver mines, and the crime rate has skyrocketed due to the soaring unemployment rate, I still like that city very much. I hope that through hard work, the people of Liuyin City can live a life similar to that of the residents of Qinghe City."
"After the pollution outbreak, the situation in Liuyin City has become increasingly worse. I am using the rest of my life as a price to predict an opportunity that will completely change Liuyin City."
"Perhaps to you now, I am indeed a murderer who abandoned Liuyin City in a critical moment, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people there, but to me who can see the future, this is something that must be done."
"Destruction is the beginning of creation, and death is always accompanied by rebirth."
After Shen Rong finished speaking, Bai Yu fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, "Did you see me in your prophecy?"
Otherwise, based on Liuyin City’s prophecy alone, Shen Rong would not have come to find him.
After all, he had nothing to do with Liuyin City, and he had never even seen this city with his own eyes.
"Yes, so here I am, with my prophecy."
Chen Rong handed over a piece of paper, and looked directly at Bai Yu with his glass-like eyes.
"Want to have a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation?"
**
Two hours later.
"What on earth did you talk about in there?"
Ji Yue looked curiously at Bai Yu who was still thinking, then looked at the [Prophet] Shen Rong who still looked calm, and asked.
"Some future plans, and some details about the religion that you don't know."
Including the deification plan and the true situation of He Yan.
"What details?"
Xiang Yang poked his head out.
"Beizhou, the so-called 'god' is in the Beizhou Sea, and he is only one step away from becoming a god... no, he is only one step away from becoming a super S-level pollutant. And [Water Ghost] He Yan, I remember seeing him there, so I'll leave this matter to Chen Rong to handle."
Bai Yu nodded his chin and said.
Hejia Village in Qinghe City, the place where he was directed by the wicked navigation just after he arrived, the place where he met Chu Zehuai for the first time after catching five frogs, and also the place where the entire village was designed to die by the Glorious Cult.
The reason why the Glorious Cult set their sights on this place was simply because an envoy of God discovered a very talented child there. In order to take the child away without any worries, they simply killed the entire village.
Not only that, they also instilled in him the idea that "this tragedy was caused by the management error of the Qinghe City Investigation Bureau."
It has to be said that the bottom line of the Glorious Cult is even lower than he imagined.
Shen Rong also gave more information than he thought.
Xiang Yang poked his head out: "In other words, Chen Rong is now also an accomplice of us?"
That was truly incredible. There were only a few Moon Messengers, and yet three of them rebelled at once.
"It counts as half. Besides, that's not how my accomplice uses it."
Bai Yu corrected Sunflower's wording.
Ji Yue still didn't quite understand what Bai Qiangwei and the [Prophet] had said. She was about to say something, but when she saw Shen Rong coming over, she immediately turned her words into the system's encrypted channel.
[Rose Flower: I always feel that [The Prophet] is not very trustworthy. He is too mysterious and I can’t see through him.]
[White Rose: What we are doing right now has nothing to do with him. Let’s finish what we are doing right now and then contact him.]
[Rose: OK, I understand.]
After Bai Yu said a few simple words, he turned his attention back to reality. He returned the paper in his hand to Shen An: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Contact me if there is anything."
Shen Rong nodded: "Okay, I understand."
He turned around as gracefully as he had come, but when he left, he didn't notice that the corner of his robe was lifted up.
There were not normal human legs inside, but octopus-like tentacles.
Eight tentacles were walking on the ground, and the purple-red suction cups on them moved, looking chewy and soft.
The three plants that liked to eat pollutants were instantly stunned.
Sensing the danger, Shen Rong stopped, looked at the three with vigilant eyes, and took two steps back without making a sound: "Um...you guys shouldn't attack our collaborators, right?"
Bai Yu's light green eyes blinked, then curved up: "Of course, we will definitely not attack our companions."
Shen Rong:.......
This would be more believable if you hadn't swallowed your saliva just now.
**
The next day, Qinghe City Investigation Bureau, First Team Office.
"Xiaobai, you didn't come yesterday, so you missed some great news."
Lin Mo dragged his chair to Bai Yu, his black eyes gleaming with excitement.
"My brother eliminated an important branch of the Glorious Divine Church in Linhai City, captured a large number of followers and various pollutants, and most importantly, caught the [Chemist] Dr. D. He should be back this afternoon!"
This is the biggest victory their Investigation Bureau has achieved since the Cult of Light announced its return to the world in a high-profile manner.
It can be said that the failure of the Beizhou mission was completely turned around.
"That's great."
Bai Yu turned the pen in his hand and said.
In just a few days, the five-month envoy arrived in Dongzhou.
It was the first time that Bai Yu clearly felt that events were developing faster and the situation was becoming more and more chaotic.
He thought of Chen Rong's pair of glassy eyes, which contained ambitions that were no less than his.
energy.
He needed more, much more energy.
It takes energy to improve your strength, it takes energy to awaken your sleeping companions, and it also takes energy to achieve your ultimate goal.
Bai Yu thought again of the unknown marine creature in the shell bracelet and the mountain-like blue crystal in its body, and his phoenix eyes became deep.
The enormous energy contained there should be enough to make one become a god in one step.
Become a God...
Bai Yu felt his throat was a little dry.
Forget it, let’s not set such a big goal for now, and start with the small blue topaz.
Rose and Sunflower just airdropped all the blue topaz they have here. You can try to swallow them when you get home.
This small amount of blue topaz does not contain too much rule-based power, at least not as much as what was accidentally ingested in Linhai City, so I should be able to get through it.
"Xiaobai, you looked so motivated just now."
Lin Mo held his face with both hands, and sighed as he watched his friend instantly perk up after hearing those words.
He and Xiaobai are indeed two different types of people.
When he heard that his brother had achieved great results in Linhai City, he could only happily shout 666, and at most add that he was proud of his brother.
Xiaobai was different. His fighting spirit was ignited instantly, as if he was stimulated by his brother, and as if he wanted to compete with his brother and try not to lose.
Is this the difference between salted fish and the king of rolls?
Bai Yu glanced at Lin Mo, who had come to this conclusion without knowing why, and nodded, "Because I think the work matter is imminent."
Lin Mo patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, I think you're close to getting a raise, a promotion, and getting married... ahem, buying a house in Qinghe City."
Although he felt that Bai Yu didn't just want a promotion and a pay raise, but more like he wanted to pull his mother down and replace her - in Lin Mo's shallow understanding, this was already the highest pursuit.
But he didn't care. As a young man, it's normal to have some aspirations and ambitions.
**
In the evening, Chu Zehuai returned with a bunch of prisoners and spoils.
"This is the first time I've seen this type of marine pollutant. Wow, it's so big."
Lin Mo, who was working overtime, ran out immediately. In the air filled with the smell of the sea, he sighed at a huge jellyfish pollutant.
"I thought you would be more interested in the Moonbringer."
Chu Zehuai changed his clothes, looked left and right, and was a little disappointed when he didn't see the person he wanted to see.
He thought Bai Yu would be waiting for him here.
"I've seen his information before. He's just an old man. What's there to see?"
Lin Mo curled his lips. After seeing the expression on his brother's face, he instantly understood his brother's thoughts.
"Xiao Bai went home first, saying that he was tired from work. If you have nothing to do, go back and accompany him."
"good."
Chu Zehuai handed over the pollutants and the captives to Chu Yunrou. The former was sent to a temporary warehouse, and the latter was sent to the Dongzhou Inspectorate tomorrow. Then he returned home happily.
I missed my boyfriend so much after not seeing him for two days.
I don’t know if the other party has eaten at this time. If not, maybe I can cook the seafood airlifted back from Linhai City. If Bai Yu doesn’t want to eat at home, they can also go out for a midnight snack.
While Chu Zehuai was thinking about a hundred recipes for cooking seafood in his mind, he took out the key and opened the door.
Surprisingly, there was no light on inside and it was as quiet as if no one was there.
"Bai Yu? Aren't you home?"
Chu Zehuai looked at the kitchen, living room and bathroom, and finally pushed open the bedroom door.
**There is a big bulge.
"Are you asleep? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Chu Zehuai asked softly.
Before he left, Bai Yu was still full of energy.
"I think I overestimated myself a little bit. I need your help."
**The bulge in his throat moved and the sound seemed a little hoarse.
After returning home, Bai Yu began to absorb the energy inside the blue crystal and at the same time began to fight against the power of rules contained in it.
The bewitching voice of "let your consciousness merge with the ocean" rang in my ears again. Although its power was much smaller than before, I still had to spend my mind and energy to resist it and patiently grind away this trace of rule-based power.
This process made him a little depressed. When he thought about how he had relied on Chu Zehuai's blood to break free from the illusion, the plant's heart began to stir again.
**.
He needs the other person's **, the more the better.
"Tell me, is there anything I can help you with? I'll do my best to help you."
Chu Zehuai, who still didn't know what dangerous thoughts her boyfriend was thinking, sat on the edge of the bed, with a bit of distress in her tone.
It was the first time he saw the other person so listless.
"Really?"
The quilt bulged and moved, and the sound inside was deeper than before.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Chu Zehuai lifted the quilt, thinking he would see Bai Yu's weak face, but unexpectedly he saw a bunch of vines full of roses.
Before he could utter the next word, dozens of flexible vines reached into his uniform, wrapped him up and pulled him in.
"You are very generous. It won't take up too much of your time. One night is enough."
