Chapter 009: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp
"Surprise?" Qiao Ji didn't think that the current court could give her anything. She had already got what she wanted most.
But it doesn't hurt to listen, "Go ahead."
"Before you, we never believed in the authenticity of these legends, so we didn't have the ability to solve these problems, and we couldn't even discover the problems."
"You are very honest." Qiao Ji was surprised at Duan Shi's straightforwardness. You know, countless officials in history were ashamed to admit their incompetence.
Duan Shi smiled helplessly. If he wanted to hide something, he had to see if he had the capital to do so. "These are all facts. There is nothing to hide. And Miss Qiao Ji, you have been around for so long, you must be very familiar with the current situation." He flattered Qiao Ji a little, and also secretly sought information.
"There's no need for us to put on airs in front of you."
"Huh~ You guys are quite obedient."
Qiao Ji did not deny Duan Shi's guess. She was indeed very familiar with the changes in this world. Even if she had been sealed all the time, it did not mean that she had no other means.
"So, what do you want to do?"
Duan Shi took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and asked solemnly: "Can Miss Qiao Ji join our Dragon Team?"
"......" Even Hashihime didn't expect their idea to be so bold. She was silent for a while, "You dare to let a ghost who has been lingering for hundreds of years and has lingered in resentment join the court."
"There's no other way. We are in urgent need of talents in this area." Duan Shi's smile was forced but also a little attentive. They don't want to do that either, but now it's just like a new land reclamation, all kinds of professional talents are in urgent need, so they can only take whoever they can. "I wonder what Miss Hashihime thinks?"
Seeing that she was not interested, Duan Shi hurriedly tried to persuade her, no, "Our Dragon Group has very good treatment. We have high salaries every month, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. We also have paid vacations every week and travel at public expense every month. We are definitely the conscience of the industry!"
It’s just that sometimes I need to take extra classes or something, but there’s no need to tell Qiao Ji. Ghosts don’t need sleep anyway, right? It’s all trivial.
"Do you think I still need these now?" Qiao Ji found it funny. This was the first time someone made such a promise in order to get her to join.
For hundreds of years, everyone who saw her wanted to stay away from her as far as possible. It was quite novel to meet someone like Duan Shi for the first time.
"Look, Miss Qiao Ji, you are now free. You don't have to stay in this small place all the time. You can go out and have fun. But the world has changed so much now. Even if you know something, you still don't know a lot of things, right?" Duan Shi appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, trying his best to pull Qiao Ji in. "But you don't have to worry if you join us. Not only do we have special people who can accompany you and answer your questions at any time, but we can also do everything for you. You just need to signal. Life here is much more comfortable than being alone, don't you think?"
Seeing the determination behind Duan Shi's smile, Qiao Ji sighed and realized that she had no choice but to agree today. Although she was not afraid of the court's methods, there was no need for fighting and killing. After all, she still wanted to see this era that was different from the past.
"Okay, Duan, you don't need to say anything, I agree."
After making up her mind, Qiao Ji even changed the way she addressed Duan Shi. Duan Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he was called "boy", and Yu Gaoyuan and Meng Zhengqi behind him couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Tell me, what are your plans next?"
Duan Shi put away his fake smile and replaced it with a sincere one. "Please ask Senior Qiao Ji to come with us to report to the headquarters. The experts over there have been waiting for a long time. We have many questions that we would like to ask you to answer."
Duan Shi sat in the back seat of the speeding car, and Qiao Ji also condensed into a physical body and sat next to him, chatting with him casually.
"Senior, besides you, are there any other similar mysterious existences in our country?" This question can be said to be what everyone is most concerned about at the moment. There are alien civilizations with unknown purposes outside, and mysterious ancient existences inside. The country is really in a difficult situation.
"Yes." Qiao Ji nodded, "But you don't have to worry. After the disaster, almost all the beings who managed to escape either fell into a deep sleep or were sealed and unable to leave. Unless you have external help like me, the chances of you seeing them are almost zero."
"Disaster? What disaster?"
Duan Shi frowned, realizing that things might not be as simple as they had previously guessed.
It involves the world's secrets, and even the driver who is concentrating on driving can't help but turn one ear to listen carefully.
"Every few eras, this world will face a catastrophe. From the Great Emperor Haotian to the lonely ghosts, no one can escape." In fact, Qiao Ji didn't know this at first. It was later told to her by a heavenly master who came to reinforce her seal. The Taoist priest said that she was lucky to be sealed here, and she escaped the catastrophe without knowing it.
That's why she can still exist today as the soul of an ordinary mortal.
Although she didn't want this luck, Qiao Ji smiled sarcastically.
"You should have had records of the last catastrophe, which was the catastrophe of Conferred Gods."
"The Emperor of Heaven established the Heavenly Palace and divided the gods into different positions, which led to the gods fighting each other and only one out of ten gods survived the calamity of conferring the gods?!" Duan Shi exclaimed, it turned out that all the legends were true.
"Did something unexpected happen during this disaster? That led to what happened to you?"
"It's not a surprise." Qiao Ji casually threw a huge thunder, "It's just that I didn't get through it."
“........” Duan Shi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. What do you mean by 'just didn't get through it'? Is this something that can be said easily? !
"Pfft~" Qiao Ji was amused by his expression, "Why are you so surprised? Everything in this world has its own destiny. Rise and fall are inevitable, isn't it? Whether you can survive or not, it's all fate."
"Senior is really open-minded." He didn't expect that Qiao Ji, a person involved, could be so open-minded. Duan Shi could only smile bitterly, "This makes us look too rigid."
Qiao Ji waved her hands, not really caring. "I don't know the specific reasons, but I know that since then, the spiritual energy in this world has begun to dissipate, and it has become less and less suitable for the survival of fairies and ghosts. But now, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seems to be gradually recovering. From the last time I woke up to now, the spiritual energy has become very rich."
Resurrection of spiritual energy?
Duan Shi was thoughtful, wondering if this was the witch's purpose. It seemed necessary to investigate further.
————————
"How's the plan going?"
The little furry ball jumped around Chu Yi everywhere. It could only watch the live broadcast at home, and had no idea what happened after the live broadcast was interrupted, so it was extremely curious now.
"Everything went well. We successfully infiltrated the enemy." Chu Yi made a small joke. The Dragon Group was certainly not the enemy. "We will be able to get first-hand official information in the future."
"Tell me quickly, I want to listen~~" Orange jumped up, grabbed her skirt and hung her in the air and started acting coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Wait for me to sit down." Chu Yi sat on the recliner, picked up the orange, held it in his arms, and began to tell it what happened afterwards.
"After the live broadcast was closed, Brother Duan came with two of his soldiers. He said the country had set up a Dragon Group to handle these matters, and hoped that my vest Qiao Ji could join them because the country was in urgent need of talent in this area. I hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and then Brother Duan took me to the Dragon Group."
"Why is it called the Dragon Team? Where is the Dragon Team? Is it very high-tech?" Orange kept asking questions, obviously very curious.
"Why is it called the Dragon Group? I don't know, maybe they think this name is impressive? The location is quite remote, and there should be a huge research institute next to it. You can't tell from the outside, but you can feel it with the Hashihime vest. There is a huge space underneath. It's probably some top-secret research institute."
Of course Duan Shi and the others did not tell her about the research institute, but they underestimated Qiao Ji's perception. She knew exactly how big the space was and how many people were inside. But they wanted to keep it a secret, so of course she couldn't reveal it, so she just pretended she didn't know.
"The office building is big, but there's nothing high-tech about it. It's probably a temporary place that hasn't had time to renovate it yet. With the information I gave Brother Duan before, it should be completed soon. Maybe I can meet Little Q then." Little Q is the artificial intelligence that was traded away. His intelligence level is not particularly high, but it is currently at the top of what humans can analyze and learn. Even if they were given any more advanced artificial intelligence, they would not be able to control it.
"That's great~ I also want to go to work with Lingling." Orange was very resentful about not being able to go with her.
"There's nothing we can do about it. You want to be with the witch." Tuanzi is now on file with the Dragon Team and definitely cannot appear casually. In the past, it could still return to the system, but since the main god possessed it, Tuanzi could not go back and could only exist as a physical entity. It was very angry for those two days.
"Hmph! Hateful Lord God!" Sure enough, it started muttering about the culprit again.
Chu Yi smiled helplessly. This little elf was just childish.
"Later, they gathered a bunch of experts to talk to me about the specific situation. We talked until two hours ago before it came to a temporary halt. Then I found an opportunity, took off the suit, let her stay there, and ran back by myself." After the upgrade of the main god, the suits she obtained can exist independently, and when she doesn't want to control them, they will act according to the settings she made in advance. Every move ensures that no one will notice the difference.
The next time she wears it, the stored memories will be integrated instantly, ensuring that she will not be exposed.
This is truly a god-level function that will save her so much trouble.
She loves the Lord.
"This action can be regarded as an explanation to the authorities, so that they can be prepared for great changes. After that, we will officially begin preparations to promote the revival of spiritual energy." It also served as a precaution for her other aliases to appear. All in all, this plan has reaped huge rewards.
"Bells." Orange stretched out his tiny claws and poked Chu Yi, "Can you find someone to do a live broadcast next time? I want to watch it~"
She was both amused and annoyed, rubbing Tuanzi's chubby face, "It's not a show, how can it be broadcast live every time."
"But I want to see it~ I want to see it, I want to see it~~" The little furry ball was trying hard to act coquettishly.
"Are you stupid, Orange? Have you forgotten that we have a system? Although you can't go back now, you can still use some functions normally."
But in fact, this function is impossible to do as it wishes. After all, there is a huge virtual screen there, and anyone with eyes can see it. And there is no black technology that can only be seen by the other party. This is just to comfort Orange.
"...Yes, I can still use the system." Tuanzi reacted and realized that it can directly use the system's contact function. As a system, its various functions are very powerful, and the basic contact functions are all virtual screen projection.
Woo woo woo, why is it so stupid.
“Hahahaha~”
After playing with Orange for a while, Chu Yi called out the virtual panel, opened the social software, and prepared to see the impact of this incident.
She looked through the trending searches, and just as she expected, the topic had exploded online due to the surprising lack of action by the authorities. Qiao Ji is the hot search on every social software, and she is also the topic that everyone is discussing.
Her looks, her clothes, her story and her identity, people care about everything about her.
#New goddess Qiao Ji sister#
[I declare that Miss Hashihime is my new goddess! How can someone be so good-looking! 】
[+1 to the above, that face is absolutely amazing, the words "beautiful as a city, stunning as the moon, and stunning as a geese" all came into being just for her]
[All those actresses in the entertainment industry who brag about their looks should step aside, they are nothing in front of this young lady]
[Just brag if you're talking above me, don't use map cannons]
[I feel so sorry for Miss Qiao Ji. Why does God always let beautiful women have such a tragic fate? 】
#Is Hashihime a ghost or a spirit#
[As the title suggests, let’s have a serious discussion: Is Miss Hashihime a ghost or a bridge spirit? 】
[Based on the story she told, she should be considered a ghost. After all, she was just a rich lady in her previous life.]
[It must be a ghost. The bridge was built to suppress her. No matter how you think about it, she can’t possibly be the bridge spirit.]
[Why are you so calm! ! No matter it is a ghost or some kind of bridge spirit, it's very scary, okay! ! ! 】
[Why are you crying? If you want to cry, go to the next door. That’s where your relatives and friends are. You can find comfort there.]
[I just came back from next door. It was so scary. Those people were scarier than ghosts.]
#Reincarnation#
[Since souls really exist, do I still have a chance to see my grandma? I miss her so much]
[I miss my dad too. It’s been ten years... I hope he hasn’t been bullied in the underworld.]
[They say money makes the world go round. I will go burn paper tomorrow and burn billions of dollars. I want to see who dares to bully my dad.]
[That’s right, I’ll go burn some tomorrow, and also burn some cell phones, computers, sports cars, etc.]
[It is said that ghosts have a lifespan. I wonder if they are still in the underworld or have been reincarnated. If they have been reincarnated, I hope they can be born into a good family in the next life.]
#The authenticity of the eight hundred years of the evil ghost of Hashihime#
[Is Qiao Ji really a ghost that has existed for more than 800 years? She is too gentle to those who disturb her sleep.]
[Now that I put it that way, it seems to be true. She has a good attitude.]
[Wouldn’t it be better to be gentle? If an irrational ghost comes out, I’m afraid there will be a river of blood.]
[That’s right, do you really want to sacrifice dozens of lives of the program crew? 】
[It’s not that she has no reason at all, but she certainly doesn’t behave like a ghost who has been betrayed by humans.]
[Is there any conspiracy?] 】
[Maybe she wants to lower our vigilance and then take revenge on humans? 】
[If it's true, then she's already halfway to success. Most of the people on the Internet are just brainless exaggerations about her.]
[Those people are simply brainless. Don’t they even doubt the reason why a fierce ghost suddenly appears and has such a nice attitude? 】
#Why let it go#
[Just a quick question, does anyone know why there is no official regulation this time? 】
Don’t ask
Don’t ask
Don’t ask
Seeing the series of "don't ask" comments, Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud. These netizens are so cute.
Why not regulate? At first, I was not sure whether this was the work of the witch, and I was afraid that if I restricted it, I would offend the witch. After learning the reason later, no action was taken because Qiao Ji said that with the revival of spiritual energy and the interference of the witches, these things will become more and more frequent, and it is impossible to stop the gossip.
Not all powerful people have such a good temper as her. If we don't let the people know now and warn them, what if someone accidentally encounters a powerful person who has awakened next time and offends him? What if innocent people are affected by the disaster?
So not only will they ignore it now, but in a few days, the authorities will hold a press conference to officially announce the arrival of the era of spiritual energy revival.
As for those who suspect that she wants to take revenge on humans, her motives are indeed impure, but how can it be linked to revenge on humans?
Chu Yi knew that some people would doubt Qiao Ji's attitude. After all, she did not behave like a powerful ghost.
But she also has her own considerations. If Hashihime shows up for the first time with a face full of resentment and hatred for humans, not many people will have a good impression of her. Disgust and aversion are the least of their worries. Most people will probably pray desperately for her to be eliminated.
This would be completely detrimental to the implementation of her plan. The world was originally trying to prevent the mystery from reviving. She had finally confirmed the mystery's authenticity, but humans all wished she would turn to ashes. This wasn't just adding insult to injury.
So she thought it over again and again and decided to treat them with a more kind attitude. Most people will not feel aversion after seeing this. Considering her tragic life story, people may even sympathize with her and accept her.
