Chapter Seventy-Six: The Eve of the Great War

When he went out, he glared at the two whites. Then hurriedly walked away from this inexplicable "American Customs Inn", and Zhou Lihuang breathed a sigh of relief.

I realized that I was still in trouble.

The thing he hated most in his life was trouble. Trouble means that the situation is out of your control and that you are in adversity. It takes a lot of effort to achieve the goal, or it is simply a wasted effort.

Growing up, he rarely tried to do this, and more often he chose to accept it. Choose to accept the beginning of the practice, choose to accept not being taken seriously, choose to accept being sent to advanced courses, choose to accept your own demons, and choose to accept the "status" you have obtained now.

In fact, it is also the way of survival of the vast majority of people in this world.

I have tried to "fight" and "work hard", but in exchange for a painful lesson. So he developed a character that instinctively ran away when faced with danger, and then tried to take another way around it. His origins gave him the conditions to make such a choice, and he was used to it.

But tonight seems to be unavoidable...... He couldn't leave what Li Qingyan had explained.

You could kill him - but that's too much trouble, and the success rate is too low. That guy is still alive, and he will be furious when he knows about the three cubs in the family surnamed Wen. He may just be "angry" when he said it...... But the opportunity just now was lost. Now it's him helping the crazy woman surnamed Yu to deceive him together.

What a fuck.

Zhou Lihuang wanted to go in again and tell him everything, but after thinking about it, he was still timid.

The zenith suddenly flashed again, and Zhou Lihuang was frightened. That dragon king is doing something again...... He scolded in his heart, can't he let me live a comfortable life for a few days??

He walked for a while before he regained his ability to think rationally. Sighing heavily, he began to think about what to do.

In terms of IQ, Zhou Lihuang is not an idiot. Because of his good cultivation qualifications and relatively high realm, his mind may be smarter than most people. But he escaped for too long, and he was not happy to use his brain. Faced with a helpless choice tonight, his mind finally spun at high speed.

It soon became clear that something was wrong with the whole thing.

Even if the man surnamed Wen did not dare to call the police because of the threat of the "kidnappers", the nursery class would have started looking for someone - the nursery class might have taken this as if the three young animals had escaped. This kind of thing is not uncommon, it has to happen several times a year.

If the guy surnamed Yu had casually left the three who had run to death on the side of the road a few days ago, they would definitely have been discovered. Sanitation is not a fool, can you not check the corpses of three horses when you see them on the road? They don't have bracelets yet, but they all have signs!

Even if the gang took off the sign, this kind of thing must first be "verified".

This check, the identity is confirmed, and he must be in the news and find his parents, how can the surname Wen not know?

No way...... Zhou Lihuang couldn't help but jump tall. But quickly look left and right - there was no one on the street, no one saw him.

Is it possible that he is not dead yet? Who rescued him and taken him in? But the three little cubs can't speak or write, and even if the person calls the police, he can't find anyone surnamed Wen? He knows how efficient Beishan's security system is in this kind of thing—even if it takes another half a month to notify the nursery class in the Hongyang community, it is not unusual.

Although this possibility is very small, Zhou Lihuang still seems to have drunk happy water. He felt uplifted, with purpose and hope. He can't afford to offend the one surnamed Yu, but he can find three small ones...... Even if only one is still alive, he can explain to Li Qingyan - he has made a great effort!

For the first time. Zhou Lihuang found that using his brain to get something done in a difficult situation is a pleasant experience.

He decided to find one of the people who had a good time with Ikuko—he could afford to offend—and ask him where he had left the three cubs that day. Then he went to check the surveillance.

......

......

Li Qingyan stayed in the inn until half past four in the morning, and heard a lot of news—most of which the official did not want to be known to the general public.

For example, two allies in Africa and a satellite of America exchanged fire, human resistance groups in America "made a big deal" in Chicago, the French president was nearly assassinated during a speech at a peace rally, and an armed group in Siberia was ready to "rebuild the Russian Empire."

He knew most of the news, and knew it better than anyone else. But little seems to have been discussed about the current situation in Kitayama – which should have been a hot topic in the past.

However, this shows from another angle that both sides are tense, and the secrecy work is done well, and some people will even be silenced. The arrival of the dragon king may be regarded as a blessing and a curse...... The chaos it has created has allowed officials to legitimately impose control over many areas. It was nominally to maintain law and order, but in reality it was a covert operation.

If things go according to plan, the people of Kitayama will not notice anything unusual in a few days. In the eyes of those people, the North Mountain is still the North Mountain—out of the calamity, still peaceful.

By five o'clock in the morning, the newcomer brought a message.

It is said that the chief of justice, Pei Boru, was slightly injured during the confrontation with the desolate spirit, and was withdrawn to the city to take charge of the defense of Kitayama. At the same time, there are rumors that the people of the promotion association also plan to "make a big vote". It is said that the person who advocated the opening of the Beishan Barrier this time was Pei Bolu, and even used some connections to put pressure on the Beishan higher-ups.

But now that the enchantment is opened, the Dragon King will not leave, and Pei Bolu will definitely be held accountable afterwards, and he will lose his official position if he makes a bad trouble. The "sources" in the inn guessed that Peberu must be glad that the people of the Promotion Association were planning to do something at this juncture. As long as the people of the promotion association are done, it will be a great achievement. Maybe you don't have to be responsible for the enchantment, you have to be rewarded.

So Li Qingyan realized that the operation might be about to begin.

This news should be officially released...... So that the promotion association seized this "opportunity" to start and led him to the steel mill of Long's Heavy Industries. As for the fact that "it was Pei Bolu who advocated the opening of the Beishan Enchantment", it should be true. He does have the ability to put pressure on the top of Beishan. The official will not release this news for no reason, but should mix some real elements into the fake news to make it difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.

No wonder...... This time, they wanted to risk half of the destruction of Beishan to get the promotion association.

The mobile phone in his arms vibrate, it was Pei Yuanxiu. Li Qingyan got up and walked outside the door to answer.

"Qingyan, it may be tomorrow. Pei Yuanxiu said, "The wind was released tonight, and the promotion association should know, and I feel that he is now eager to make meritorious service and absolve himself." The people of the Promotion Association will reveal your whereabouts and lead us over, and in the first stage, we will definitely resist stubbornly and make a big battle - so that the senior officials of the Beishan Special Intelligence Bureau, the Zongdao Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau will have to be on the scene to command, and then they will do it. ”

"I guessed it. Li Qingyan slowly walked to the street and whispered.

"You've got to get out of there early. We have a lot of measures on our side to deal with emergencies, but we are only afraid of what happens. Pei Yuanxiu paused, "What if...... Something went wrong, and the generator over there really turned on and attracted the dragon king, and a lot of people would die. You'll go farther then—your mission will be done by then. ”

"Good. Li Qingyan said, "But your father—"

Pei Yuanxiu seemed to smile over there: "You forgot, we are from the Lotus Flower Sect." I cultivated the idea of Spiegel, and my father even repaired the Bodhi Glass Terrace - one foot on the ground, reversing reality in two seconds...... There's nothing to be afraid of him. ”

Li Qingyan smiled: "That's right." ”

It is precisely because of this that Pei Boru was able to survive the several assassinations of the Promotion Association. It is also because of this that he has a tough style and is never afraid of any threats. Because the method of the Lotus Blossom Sect is a very special existence among the six sects and five sects. There are few powerful spells, but they have no other wonderful use.

Pei Yuanxiu's view of the mirror can go back to the past, which is very suitable for investigating cases. His Laozi Pei Bolu's fourth-order high-level magic Bodhi Glazed Platform was stronger, and it could "reverse time" in a small area—within one zhang, time would go back two seconds. In other words, within those two seconds, he can rewrite his "future" for the next two seconds.

Li Qingyan thought about it again: "Yuan Xiu, there is one more thing. Maybe the command has already thought of it, but I'll mention it. ”

"You say. ”

"The army and police are scattered all over the city, and the monks are scattered. I've been having a hunch these days......" Li Qingyan hesitated slightly, but still said what was in his heart, "I always feel that things are too smooth, not quite right." Is it possible to divert the tiger from the mountain, is it possible that their goal is not so big - to use this thing to attract our attention and then act elsewhere. ”

Pei Yuanxiu sighed: "You are the pearl covered with dust." Someone in the Command only mentioned this matter yesterday - you know, they have been planning the whole situation. So tonight, the people from the practice base were also transferred—teachers, students, and they were all assigned to various parts of the city. ”

"Some of these people, like us, were already systematically trained. Although the other part has not been trained, it has good strength, it is all level seven and six, and it is also politically reliable. You can rest assured of that. ”

Li Qingyan subconsciously asked, "Including star fruit?"

Pei Yuanxiu smiled: "Don't worry, a student like her will be transferred to some inconsequential units." In fact, it can be regarded as a kind of training. Having a teacher and other classmates is safer than in a refresher class – if you're worried that someone will be bad for her. ”

Li Qingyan said: "Okay. I don't have any doubts. Now I'm rushing back. ”

Pei Yuanxiu closed the line. Li Qingyan took the phone back into his arms and walked back to the inn, ordering some takeout.

When he returned to the factory, six of the eight people slept, leaving two to be on duty for the night, and Li Qingyan woke them all up. However, he brought steaming food and drinks to alleviate their dissatisfaction.

Only Xiao Hao was extremely vigilant and asked Li Qingyan: "Why have you been there for so long?"

"I went to the United States and asked for some news. Li Qingyan said, "I heard that Pei Bolu was injured and returned to the ground as the commander-in-chief. I also heard two people say that we may have a move recently......"

He turned his face to look at the serious student: "Is this part of the plan?"

Lao Yan swallowed what was in his mouth and poured another sip of water: "It should be......"

"Yes. Xiao Hao said, "We will bring Pei Bolu over." ”

Li Qingyan and Zheng Sheng glanced at each other. The leader of their group is a serious student, but now Xiao Hao knows more news...... Perhaps the promotion association was not completely reassured by Lao Yan, and sent this person to participate in the operation and monitor it.

"You don't have to worry. Xiao Hao didn't care about the eyes of the two people, "Before the operation starts, you can all evacuate, and I will stay here." Let's bleed the group of puppies first, and Pei Bolu will naturally come. ”

A power engineer snorted disapprerovingly. Li Qingyan saw him wearing a white bracelet before, and he may really be a dog.

After eating and drinking, the group fell asleep again. Li Qingyan slept very little and volunteered to keep vigil, but Xiao Hao did not object.

When it was dawn, Li Qingyan pulled Zheng Sheng to a secluded place and interrogated him about his situation after he left last night, and was told that everything was normal. At noon, he excused himself and talked to Pei Yuanxiu on the phone again, and was told that everything was unfolding in an orderly manner.

On the phone, Pei Yuanxiu said that several other groups of the promotion association began to move and create some small-scale chaos. It should be a vigorous reminder to the authorities: "We are going to make big moves, you will see". Mobile teams elsewhere in the city also fully cooperated, "difficultly" destroying one den after another, and "gradually" obtaining clues and approaching the "truth".

At present, the promotion association is like a person in a one-way glass house, thinking that what he is doing is extremely secretive, but in fact it has long been seen. Just wait for it to get to the last few steps and figure out what its purpose is.

It was all good news that could reassure people, but the stronger the premonition in Li Qingyan's heart. The person whose face was blurred in his memory seemed to have told him that the so-called "premonition" was actually a manifestation of the subconscious. The human subconscious mind notices some small details that have been overlooked, and then draws some kind of speculation and result based on those details. That outcome is often the closest to the truth.

I still seem to remember that I was very interested in learning in the past. But the man said...... What do you mean...... It seems to say...... If you learn his skills, you will be able to see through the hearts of most people. But seeing the hearts of the people around you is not a good thing, it will distort your own world and lose a lot of the pleasure of experience...... Teach him when he "grows up".

Somehow, when Li Qingyan now recalls these memory fragments, he can understand that the "growing up" in that person's mouth does not refer to the increase in age, but to other aspects.

And then...... I don't remember anything.

Damn it. He thought to himself, I want to figure out what is in my head. But on the other hand, he wondered if he really remembered it one day...... Will you feel at a loss?

He has a lot in this world—including this extremely rare friendship with Pei Yuanxiu. But sometimes he feels like a child who doesn't know how to be satisfied and doesn't know how to cherish, and he feels ...... Things in the world are so boring.
