Central Management Office:

"Anything new?" Zhuge Xun saw Ling and Henry, who were monitoring in front of the screen.

"You're back. You're going to talk about it later, so come and look at this. Ling motioned for Zhuge Xun to come over.

Zhuge Xun came to the screen, only to see a strange white light appear on the screen in the direction of the 'Zoological and Botanical' garden.

"Is this ......? Did you send someone over? Zhuge Xun stared at the image on the screen.

"It's been sent, but nothing has been found in return...... So I wondered if it would be ......"

"Yin-Yang Technique?" Zhuge Xun answered for Ling what Ling didn't say. "I'm not sure if I didn't arrive at the scene, but I should be the only one left with the Zhuge family's onmyoji, and if there is, it can only be another onmyoji."

"Other onmyoji? Is there any other family besides the Zhuge family? Henry overhears Ling's conversation with Zhuge Xun.

"Well, the Onmyoji family only has the Zhuge family in China, the Li family, and the Abe family in Japan. The Li family belongs to a small family, and it is not excluded that people with such abilities exist; Japan's Abe Harumi family has almost no descendants, and the island country where Japan is located in that 'world war' was almost completely wiped out, and less than one-third of the people remained, and all of them belonged to neighboring countries, so it is unlikely, but if there are descendants, it is entirely possible to do such a thing. As for the onmyoji of the Zhuge family, I should be the only one. Zhuge Xun didn't want to recall the civil strife.

"That's right. We'll make a decision when the people sent back to us. ”

"By the way, Kaoru you just said on the phone what was the 'good stuff', did you find anything down there?"

"I've got this." Zhuge Xun took out the small glass bottle from his pocket and put it in his hand.

"It's ......," Ling and some other staff members gathered around.

"Look inside. You should be able to see it. Zhuge Xun motioned for everyone to take a closer look.

At first, everyone didn't see anything, just an empty bottle, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was a crystal clear thing the size of a thumb cap flying in the bottle.

"What is this? Where did you catch it? Ling looked up and asked Zhuge Xun. Henry, have you ever spotted any creatures in the second circle? Hey, what about Henry? Only to find out that Henry was not there.

"Mr. Henry just went out, and it seems to have gone to the bathroom." The secretary, who knew where Henry was going, replied.

"Oh, I'll show him when he comes back. Kaoru: You haven't said where you caught this. ”

"In the basement, on the bodies of the infected who have decomposed. This is a variant of the 'white sandfly', the ordinary sandfly is white, but this one is transparent, and ......" Zhuge Xun put the bottle behind the magnifying glass, and everyone saw clearly, it turned out that the bottle was a small transparent butterfly, and every fine hair on its body could be seen clearly.

"The common sandfly is not only white all over, but also covered with phosphorus powder, which mainly relies on phosphorus powder to spread some diseases. But this one, the body has become transparent, and there is not as much phosphorus powder as before, the main thing is these black capillaries that appear on its body. I don't know much about sandflies, but I can feel the intense evil energy emanating from this sandfly, and you can still see the little paper figure I used to catch it in the bottle, but it has been melted away. So I thought if I could figure out what the black stuff on it was, I would be able to figure out what the pathogen was this time. ”

"We didn't see it in the infected, did we? Is it parasitic in this infected person? Orr, who had just come up, asked puzzled when he heard Zhuge Xun's explanation.

"It's not sure if it's parasitic or if it's attracted to carrion. So if we can find it again, we may be able to solve this infection! ”

"So how do you find it? Is there anything we can do as well. You can't let Mr. Zhuge go to all the places in the second circle......" Orr said his doubts.

"There's nothing we can do about it yet...... But I think it should be soon, since this one is so small, there must be other adult sandflies in existence. The kind of anomaly I just saw on the screen should be this swarm of sandflies......"

"Mr. Zhuge , can you give us this sandfly so that we can study it?" Orr spoke his mind.

"Yes. But I'll have to do a little trick first, or you won't be able to see it when you release it, because it's too small. As he spoke, Zhuge Xun pulled out a piece of hair, wrapped it around the glass bottle, and whispered the incantation in his mouth, only to see the hair penetrate the bottle and wrap around the sandfly inside. After doing this, Zhuge Xun handed the bottle to Orr.

Orr carefully took the bottle. "Let's go and research, and we'll find the answer as quickly as possible!" After that, I took the bottle back to the laboratory building.

"Orr seemed to be very excited just now, what's wrong?" Henry, who came back from the bathroom, asked Ling.

"Kaoru caught a live sandfly in the lab, and if Orr and they can succeed, maybe this time the matter will be solved."

"Well, that's something to be excited about. You are also tired, I have people arrange a place for you to live in the management office, so don't go back to my father, so that you can help directly with anything. ”

"That's fine. Then let's go and rest first. Ling and Zhuge Xun left the management office under the leadership of the staff.

"What's the matter?" Ling noticed Zhuge Xun.

"I'm supposed to have revealed something, a very important thing." It seems that as long as you find all this key point, the problem can be solved.

"You've said something similar before, is it about Pudder?"

"......" Zhuge Xun didn't answer Ling's question because he didn't know how to answer.

Botanical and Botanical Gardens Management Office:

"Paul, there's nothing unusual about you, is there?"

"It's Pudder! No, everything went according to plan. Paul was taken aback by the sudden arrival of Pud.

"That's good. Henry has already left Ling and Zhuge Xun to live in the center, and they should not come here for the time being. However, the infection in the circle now is really beyond my expectations, who will do it on purpose......" Pudde glanced at Paul at work with a scheming look.

"Yes, this time the sandfly appeared so suddenly, there should be someone behind the scenes. I heard that Zhuge Xun is a very good onmyoji, if he wants to do it, it should be very simple, just use yin-yang arts, and he doesn't need to do it directly. Paul continued to work in front of the instrument.

"Yin-Yang Technique? Why do you think it's Zhuge Xun's yin-yang technique? Pude tasted the tea in his cup.

“…… After Ling came with Zhuge Xun last time, I investigated the one named Zhuge Xun and found that he was a descendant of Zhuge Kongming in ancient China, Zhuge Kongming was a great onmyoji, and he should have inherited the ability of that gentleman. You ask me why I doubt him, Pude, you haven't forgotten the 'world biochemical warfare' you promoted, at that time you were quite a headache for Zhuge Xun's motherland, because only that country can compete with you, one-third of the entire country's army died at your hands, if it were me, I would definitely hate you, after the war, I didn't receive any sanctions, and swaggered to rule a protective circle...... That's why I doubt his ......" Paul noticed his gaffe.

"Oh......? You've analyzed it thoroughly. Looks like I'm really going to have to pay attention to him. Pude was still sipping the tea in his cup.

"Is there anything you have to do today?" The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Paul knew that what he had just said was a bit excessive.

"It's nothing, just come and take a look. In the current situation, it may not be long before the 'trumpet of the angels' will be used. ”

"Hmm...... Want to check it out? ”

"Okay."

After Paul and Pude entered the elevator, they went directly to the tenth basement floor through the hidden pupil recognition in the elevator, and then took the 'capsule tram' to the "botanical and botanical garden" directly below, a weapons arsenal covering an area of nearly half of the second circle. There were a lot of busy staff inside, and when they saw Pudde and Paul, they just nodded hello and went back to their posts.

In the central hall there is a supercomputer similar to the 'brain', and only the inner circle will have two 'brain' computers. In the central government that Henry manages, the 'brain' controls the 'wall' outside the second circle and the climate inside the circle. This 'brain' here is one of the five keys to the 'World Government - Central Circle'.

The wall of the 'World Government - Central Circle' is controlled by the five 'brains' in the 'Inner Five Circles' at the same time, and if you want to directly enter the 'Central Circle' by external forces, unless you destroy the 'keys' in the 'Inner Five Circles', it is impossible for external forces to get close to the 'Central Circle'.

Pud put the 'key' here because the outside world had no idea that there would be such an arsenal of weapons capable of destroying the world beneath the 'garden'. This arsenal is also something that Pud has been hiding from Ling.

"Next, you need that half of you to recognize." Paul stood by a door and said to Pudd.

"Oh. Yours got in? "In front of the door of Pudder.

"Hmm." When Pud stepped forward, Paul automatically retreated a meter away from the door.

Pudd scanned the pupil of his right eye and pressed a long list of passwords on the virtual dynamic keyboard that followed.

When the door opened, Pud and Paul entered, and then the door closed automatically. When Pude and the others passed through five such doors, they entered the arsenal that Pude called 'Noah', which actually stored a large number of advanced weapons.

"If these weapons here are used militarily, they will become hegemons." Pud casually picked up the pistol in his hand and aimed at random. "These are unique weapons that have been refined by a genius like mine."

"Yes. Your talent is unmatched. We can use these to occupy the 'world government' if you want. ”

"Paul, how long have you been with me?" Pudde followed Paul and continued inside.

"It's been more than 50 years......

"It's been more than 50 years......"

"Yes......"

……

"People's hearts change, right?" Pudd asked suddenly.

"Huh? Yes, it will change, especially after a long time. But there are some things that are engraved in the bones and will not change even until death. ”

"Old friend, what do you say is love? Or hate? ”

The two of them came to the door where the deepest part of the 'angel's horn' was kept.

"Who knows...... Pudde, have you really loved? Paul asked Budde as he typed in his password.

"No...... This is my failure. Pude stopped as he pressed the last digit of the password, turned his back to Paul behind him and said, "You still choose to do this......"

"That's something that can't be helped, as I said, there are some things that you won't forget until you die. I hesitated, because you are a genius, it's really a pity, no matter how hard I try, I can't reach your kind of realm, I will pay tribute to you, and you are very proud of this 'Noah' I will let it exert its real 'salvation' power, so you can die in peace! Paul's gun was pointed at Pudder's back.

"I thought I would get your forgiveness and make you give up wanting to get revenge on me." Pudd turned his back to Paul and spoke calmly.

"Don't laugh, I'm not surprised at all that you know my background, a prodigy known as a 'genius', it is impossible for people to approach you easily, let alone entrust you with important tasks! Pude, I understand you, you didn't want to get my forgiveness by keeping me by my side at all, but to use my psychology of wanting revenge but not wanting to be discovered by you, and let me work hard for you to the greatest extent! We were all betting, and when I was put in the 'garden', I knew I had won the bet. Paul smiled triumphantly as if he had killed his greatest enemy.

"Alas......" Pude sighed heavily. What makes you so breathless? Could it be that you did it this time? ”

"It's heaven helping me! I've been waiting for this day for fifty years, in fact, I have had many chances to kill you, but your talent saved you, I can't make such a second circle, such a 'Noah', so the best way is to wait for you to build all this with your own hands, and then I will take over. ”

"Riley's death was your hand, right?"

"No, I didn't expect that accident to happen."

"I'm finally making sure, is your hatred for me only because I destroyed your country while directing 'that war'?"

"I don't care about the state or anything! It doesn't matter to me who destroys such a country! And being destroyed in the war is also the fate of the country. What I can't tolerate is that the 'biochemical warfare' you are promoting has caused my lover to suffer that kind of torture!" Do you know what kind of expression that gentle woman used to ask me to kill her at the end?

That stupid woman just because I said, 'Your skin is so good, I want to hold you all the time.'" Then I have been taking care of it carefully, but I didn't expect it to be destroyed by you!

We have avoided the impact of the war and can live our lives in peace, but she is only far away from the air polluted by the biological and chemical weapons you have developed and improved during the war, but it makes that gentle woman worse than dead, and all her most cherished skin festers into pus, corroding to the bone!

Do you know what the last words she said to me before she died? It's 'I'm sorry, I can't let you hold it, I'm not worthy of you anymore.'" It is my greatest happiness to have your love. ’

I thought I would die with her, but I came back to life! So I'm going to avenge her! You murderer! ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not waking up. You're still right about one thing, it's that I've been using you all along! Now you're useless. You can go and spend time with your gentle wife. Pudd threw his gun at Paul's corpse and headed for the 'trumpet of the angels......

And Paul's round eyes in a pool of blood were forever fixed on that face with astonishment and unwillingness.

…… There is no war in heaven......
