Chapter 211
It is unknown how Tang Qingxiong would react when he found out that he was pregnant and had to go through all the procedures again. Would he be furious or disheartened? What would he do when he found out that he would die if he aborted the child?
Yu Tu was really curious.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Yu Tushangxuan couldn't smile. He suddenly found that he seemed to have become evil - bad karma really shouldn't be created often, it would affect his state of mind. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to gloat over other people's misfortunes before.
Yu Tu closed the door of the teahouse and turned off the lights. He would have to open the door and continue reading tomorrow. It would be dawn in a few hours, so he decided to be extravagant during these few hours and do nothing but sleep.
He fell into a deep sleep, but the situation in the Abnormal Department was not peaceful. Jiang Jiang had not slept for two hours after completing his mission when he was overwhelmed by the report sent by Fang Yan from Group 4.
She recognized every word in the report, but when they were put together... Jiang Jiang actually couldn't understand it.
What does it mean that "the direction of the deer fur mutation is speculated to cause pregnancy regardless of gender"? What does it mean that a 48-year-old man is pregnant with twins and a 57-year-old man is pregnant with a single baby? What does it mean that "someone found out about the Nevernight Marquis in a roundabout way and asked for help to have an abortion"?
Jiang Jiang rubbed his forehead and felt a throbbing pain.
A man is pregnant?
Are you sure that the fur of the deer lily has been infected by resentment, changing the nature of the "material" it is attached to, bringing about unspeakable and indescribable changes, rather than the group of scientific research fanatics in the Chang'an Academy in the inner world finally going crazy?
Jiang Jiang let out a breath slowly. She didn't even know which of the two news, "the man is pregnant" or "the pregnant man goes to Buye Hou for an abortion", was more shocking.
After she finished reading the information sent by Fang Yan from Group 4, she contacted the leader of Group 4, Zheng Chanyi. Zheng Chanyi quickly answered her call, obviously having been waiting.
"Director Jiang." Zheng Chanyi's voice was as serious as she was. "Our four teams are tracking down the follow-up information needed for the report. It will be delivered to you tomorrow."
"Okay." Jiang Jiang bent his knuckles and tapped the table. "Is the meeting between Tang Qingxiong and Senior Buyehou over?"
"It's over." Zheng Chanyi said, "When Tang Qingxiong came out, he looked smaller and his belly wasn't as bloated anymore. I guess the baby is gone."
They in the Special Affairs Bureau are still not very clear about the standards of Buyehou's actions. They have also conducted detailed investigations on the people who were helped by Buyehou. The rewards received by each person were different, but everyone received more than they gave, except for a man named Huang Pu.
This man followed an underage girl after getting drunk late at night. The girl ran into Buyehou's shop in a panic, and Huang Pu followed her into the teahouse. The next day after coming out of the teahouse, Huang Pu won the lottery and got a huge fortune of 24 million. However, before he could cash in the huge fortune, he had a car accident and was sent to Renxin Hospital where he died.
Jiang Jiang asked someone who was skilled in fortune-telling to perform fortune-telling on Huang Pu. The content of the fortune-telling was "whether his death was related to the Marquis of Buye". After many fortune-tellings, the conclusion was always "yes".
Huang Pu must have made a deal with Buyehou that night. Judging from what happened the next day, Huang Pu must have used chips such as his life to exchange for something related to wealth. With the wealth in hand, the exchange was established, so his life was taken away in the form of a car accident.
She didn't know what Tang Qingxiong discussed with Buyehou in the teahouse, but her intuition told her that the reward received by Buyehou would never be dispensable like that of Wu Yulan and others. It would be more like Huang Pu, who would pay an unbearable price.
Jiang Jiang had many guesses in his mind and was just waiting for the four groups to submit their reports before verifying them.
"Chanyi, contact Tu Jiaojiao from Group 9 and ask him to bring those pregnant men to..." Jiang Jiang hesitated for a long time before making up his mind, "...to Chang'an Academy."
She emphasized: "Don't let the people from the Research Department get close to them before you have a thorough understanding of the situation."
Maybe it was because of the bad signal, but Zheng Chanyi was at the other end of the line and paused for a while before replying: "Director Jiang, does the Research Department allow violent law enforcement?"
Jiang Jiang: "Don't use force against them unless it's absolutely necessary."
Zheng Chanyi: "Okay, I understand."
After the call was disconnected, Zheng Chanyi met several pairs of eyes staring at her. Shen Cong, holding a sword, leaned over Fang Yan, who was typing frantically. A rare hint of fear appeared on his cool expression: "Team Leader, how does Director Jiang define 'until it is absolutely necessary'?"
Zheng Chanyi: "As long as they don't tie people to the laboratory table for dissection."
Shen Cong: “…”
"Team leader," Shen Cong said, "Can I apply to keep an eye on Tang Qingxiong?"
Fang Yan, who was about to make sparks from the keyboard, said faintly: "I protest."
…
Each of the top ten special teams is experienced and has their own ways to get information.
In just three days, a detailed report on what Tang Qingxiong did in the teahouse that night appeared on Jiang Jiang's desk.
After Jiang Jiang finished reading the report, she felt that her headache, which had just gotten better, started to get worse again. She stared at the report for a while and decisively started shaking her head.
The special team was almost wiped out when they were on a mission to destroy the Fallen Nine-Tailed Fox. Fortunately, they were rescued by Senior Buyehou and returned safely. The only pity is that before Senior Buyehou knew about this, two members of the team were left there forever facing the fallen monster.
Even with the current means, their external injuries can be healed within a month after being rescued, but their vitality is still damaged. It is best not to carry out high-risk missions in the next few months to avoid irreversible damage. So the team no longer continues to travel around the country, but instead carries out some simpler and weird missions near Beijing.
Jiang Jiang shook people, and one group naturally responded the fastest.
After all members of a group entered the [Qilin Conference Room], Jiang Jiang used a copying spell to distribute multiple copies of the information to each person.
Jiang Jiang: "Everyone, please watch it carefully. We will discuss it together after watching it."
Lin Jiangran from Group 1 is a cute girl with a baby face. After reading the entire report carefully, she asked hesitantly and sincerely, "Director Jiang, are you worried that the understanding of the seniors of Buyehou is different from our understanding of the universal sense?"
"I don't think you need to worry. Look at page three—" She turned the report to the side she was talking about and said happily, "Although Senior Buyehou doesn't understand the laws made by us humans, he obviously abides by them!"
The page she was talking about was the one where Buyehou said that teahouses don’t do anything illegal, a whole thing of “not understanding but respecting”.
Perhaps it is because every time Senior Buye solves a problem, no matter how big or small, it poses a certain threat to the safety of the inner world. As events accumulate, Buye is not only very popular in the Alien Bureau, but many members also have a firm and mysterious goodwill towards him. That is, even though they don't quite understand what Senior Buye does at certain times, what he does must be good and right.
"Director Jiang, I don't think you need to think so complicated." Gu Xingzhu said, "Species other than humans are mostly much easier to understand than humans."
What she meant was that those complexities were largely unapplicable to other races.
Huo Hanzhi was sitting next to Gu Xingzhu. Hearing this, he pushed up his glasses on his nose. After the [glasses] disappeared, most of his heaviest workload was relieved and he was able to return to the first group.
"So far, all the actions of the former Marquis Buye have shown that he has no ill will towards humans." Huo Hanzhi analyzed rationally and calmly, "As for the transaction between the former Marquis Buye and Tang Qingxiong... You can't use the morality and values of today's people to judge the..."
After thinking for a moment, he uttered a slightly impolite but very appropriate word: "antique."
Thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago, there were no ethical guidelines or rules like there are today.
Not to mention the extent to which human beings had developed at that time, just by reading the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and some myths and legends that have been passed down today, they can vaguely know the extent of explosion or openness in ancient times.
Here, they have stories about pregnancy, pregnancy for years, humans eating monsters, and monsters wearing human skin, which are already scary enough. And over there, it's even more terrifying and bizarre, with stories about sons murdering their fathers, relatives falling in love and getting married, and blood-related people committing incest... In short, as long as they know a little bit about it, it's enough to make them frown and wish they could poke their eyes out.
After Huo Hanzhi said this, everyone in the [Qilin Conference Room] recalled the ancient secrets that they had learned many years ago when they were in class or as exchange students, which were most likely true, and then... everyone fell silent.
Compared to those explosive secrets, a man getting pregnant and giving birth to a child is not a big deal at all.
Baby-faced Lin Jiangran looked around at the different expressions on everyone's faces in the Kirin Council Chamber and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why do I feel like we are more feudal than the previous Marquis Buye?"
"Times have changed, Ranran." Jiang Jiang sighed helplessly, "The rules of the ancient times are no longer applicable now."
The senior, Buyehou, is indeed on their side now, but there is no guarantee that he will always be on their side. The alien beasts that have survived from ancient times to the present have more or less problems. The long time has worn them down, making them more likely to degenerate than the current alien beasts. Once a strong man of Buyehou's level degenerates, the degree of destruction to the world will be no less than a despairing natural disaster.
The others naturally knew this truth as well. They also knew that they could not pin their hopes on one person and that they had to have contingency plans for everything. However, Lord Buye had just rescued a group not long ago, and now was the time when the group was extremely fond of him.
Jiang Jiang looked around the meeting room. She looked at the expressions of Group 1 and felt that it was a mistake to bring them here to discuss this matter. People's hearts are naturally biased, and the life-saving grace is a very important bargaining chip.
"I have a suggestion." Huo Hanzhi read the report from beginning to end again and made some marks with a pen. "We don't need to think too much about Senior Buyehou. He obviously has good intentions towards us. We might as well express our attitude directly."
"For example—" He showed his colleagues what he had circled, "Can you give me a good introduction to the laws and common sense of the inner and outer worlds?"
"Perhaps everyone has forgotten..." Huo Hanzhi smiled, "It's only been a little over a year since Senior Buyehou woke up."
…
In the [Qilin Conference Room], this proposal was finally passed unanimously, and this arduous task was handed over to Liu Jia and Song Tu from the Chongming City Branch. Because they had been communicating with the senior, Buyehou, for the past year, they did not have to bother two people with one matter.
Liu Jia: “???”
Song Tu: “???”
The two of them looked at each other with confusion in their eyes as they took up the difficult new task.
Liu Jia's expression was quite sad: "Do we have to go?"
Song Tu blew out a puff of smoke: "What do you think?"
Liu Jia wailed: "Assisting has no human rights———"
After the grief, the mission had to continue. The two men drove an armored vehicle to the door of the teahouse and knocked on it with a fearless attitude.
Yu Tu, who didn't know their purpose, opened the door and was forced to listen to a day of popular science projects about the inner world, including but not limited to human ethics, human medicine, human social common sense, human law, etc.
Yu Tu: “…”
He could hardly keep the smile on his face.
Good news: I have been very successful in pretending not to be a human.
The bad news: It was too successful.
