"The salvage work in the area where the incident occurred is proceeding in an orderly manner, but according to the situation at the scene, the damage is very serious."

"The situation on the web is more complicated, but overall it is expected to calm down a bit."

"The target is indeed missing, but judging from the energy traces at the scene, there is a high probability that it has entered the open sea, and as for the specific whereabouts, it still needs to be continuously observed."

"Our losses are small, so there are some relevant skepticism in the foreign media, and we think this needs to be handled with caution."

……

In the building of the Special Management Department, a clerk is carefully reporting relevant information.

After he finished reporting, Xu Ji waved his hand and asked him to leave, and when the door of the office was closed tightly, under the bright light, there were only two people left.

Xu Ji didn't speak, and Shi Shengcun was also silent.

The wall clock on the wall pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark.

Hours have passed since the end of the "encirclement and suppression" campaign, but the world has yet to truly recover from this result.

The result that was supposed to be certain has been reversed so drastically, which is really unexpected by everyone.

And when the escaped monks released the relevant video, the entire Internet world fell into an indescribable silence.

The angry voices suddenly disappeared, and the boundless worry and fear permeated them.

Reality is not a fairy tale after all, and the warriors who represent justice did not defeat the "evil dragon", but were swallowed up by the "evil dragon".

It's really a sad story.

After a brief moment of silence, people had to start facing the brutal fact that Cheng Lin was most likely still alive, and there seemed to be no one to stop him.

So where will he go next?

What will it do?

This is a very serious question.

"What's next?" After holding back for a while, Xu Ji finally couldn't help but ask.

In the face of his inquiry, Shi Shengcun did not answer immediately, he first pinched his eyebrows, and then whispered:

"He's more than I expected."

Xu Ji could hear the seriousness in his tone, so he smiled bitterly:

"It was beyond everyone's expectations, who would have thought...... Occur...... What could be such a result? ”

After a pause, he said: "The question now is how we deal with it next. ”

"Cope?" Shi Shengcun repeated the word, and then said calmly, "It's not very complicated. The salvage of the sea area is going on normally, and the remains are sent back to the place, and after the events of the past few days on the Internet, I think everyone should be tired and should slowly calm down......

In this incident, not many people escaped, and our losses were considered the smallest, which will certainly give rise to some shady arguments...... Deserved.

The relevant handling is handed over to the relevant departments, and the professional matters are handed over to the professional people to handle, and the rest of the things are handled as usual. ”

"That's it?" Xu Ji was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically.

"Otherwise, what else?" Shi Shengcun looked at him.

"That'...... About Cheng Lin......"

"This time the countries seem to have suffered a lot of damage, but except for a very few, the rest have not hurt their bones, and the wanted will definitely continue, but the countries will also inevitably focus on defense, after all, no one knows where he will go next. Not surprisingly, this deterrence lasts for a while and then slowly fades. Shi Shengcun said.

Xu Ji became more and more surprised when he heard this, he frowned, and said:

"You don't seem to be very worried."

"Worried about what?" Shi Shengcun looked at him, then sighed lightly and said, "This time our people were almost unharmed, do you think this is really because Liyang and they evacuated quickly enough?" ”

"You mean...... He deliberately let them back? ”

"Or else?" Shi Shengcun looked at him seriously and said, "Actually...... You should be able to tell that he's not bad. ”

There was a moment of silence.

Shi Shengcun got up suddenly, took out a piece of letter paper folded in half from the drawer, handed it to Xu Ji, and then said:

"It's over, it's time for me to go back, rest assured, the worst is over, don't get too nervous. Oh, by the way, I'll hand this in, I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. ”

Xu Ji also got up, then took it blankly and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Letter of resignation," the latter replied in a flat tone, and then smiled at Xu Ji's stunned gaze, "I couldn't leave the situation before, and now that the matter is over, it's time to step down."

I have already communicated with the minister, and then my position will be taken over by Li Yang, well, Vladimir is also dead, after this battle, there is no longer any force in the world cultivation world that can threaten us, at this time, it will be handed over to him, and the burden will be lighter.

Okay, you're busy, I'll go first. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Ji to respond, he pushed open the door and walked out slowly, nodding to everyone he met along the way, and then walked straight out of the building.

When he left the solemn and cramped building, he raised his head and looked at the gray, invisible night sky of the capital, and his gaze suddenly seemed to have jumped countless distances, and fell straight on the endless South China Sea.

"I envy you......" he muttered to himself in an undetectable voice.

……

……

Meanwhile.

On the sea thousands of miles away from the capital.

At some unremarkable spatial anchor point in the vast sea, the spiritual realm is hidden here.

Within the spirit realm.

In the sky, which was getting closer and closer to reality, a bright and round moon hung high, splashing cold light.

The huge world tree supported the world, and at night, a breeze blowing from nowhere ruffled the nameless lake, and the surface of the lake, which was obviously quite a bit lower, suddenly folded.

The elegantly shaped street lamps that surround the lake are already lit, and Ciri is sitting on the lakeside, looking at the full moon in the sky.

Occasionally glancing sideways at the brightly lit villa, I recalled the human with wings in my mind, and felt that my "spiritual air supremacy" was seriously threatened.

……

Inside the villa.

Huge chandeliers illuminate the entire lobby on the ground floor.

Cheng Lin was wearing a pair of pajamas, leaning on a huge pillow, and was bored watching a comedy movie.

The screen, which covered the entire wall, pulled the actors' heads so huge that it looked a little scary.

In the open kitchen of the villa, elves are busy under the leadership of Ailu.

They were uniformly dressed, all wearing aprons with lace, and chattering, so lively.

"Cheng Lin, come, try my new work, ahhh

Suddenly, Cheng Lin, who was bored watching the movie, felt a soft figure coming over.

Eru sat barefoot on a plush stall, holding a plate of colorful and cool ice cream in her left hand, and a spoon in her right hand, slashing a spoonful and bringing it to his mouth.

Cheng Lin opened his mouth lazily and mechanically, and then enjoyed the intimate service of the elven great priest.

I first chewed it with satisfaction, and then sighed softly, deeply feeling the decay of what is called capitalism.

At that moment, he suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs, and he looked sideways, and then, his eyes lit up slightly.

I saw that on the spiral staircase on the right, a small figure was walking down slowly.

That's Caowei.

She had already disarmed her dragon form, and had just finished bathing, her dark hair hanging wet behind her head, and the two horns on the top of her head were particularly protruding.

A dusty face had been washed by hot water, stained red, and steamed.

Because there were no clothes suitable for her body type in the villa, she was temporarily wearing Nuwa's silk nightgown, which was loose, revealing half of her snow-white shoulders and a pair of slippers under her feet.
