Capturing the island of the continent, Lu Yao had harvested a complete Masterless God’s Kingdom, something that had never happened before in the past.
Collecting a Nine Harvest Pillar, even if it couldn’t be transmitted, just the guidance of the channel it came with was a navigational positioning in the Creeping Zone that could not be bought for a thousand dollars.
Most of the divine kingdoms that could be looked upon by the Exalted Dragon were thought to be very promising industries.
Lu Yao was prepared to follow the trajectory of the Dragon Resident’s channel all the way over and try to collect them one by one.
If it could be incorporated into the Yao civilisation system, that would be the best, and if it was too difficult, they would switch to the next one.
Lu Yao looked at the screen.
Chau Island was slowly rotating in the inner periphery of the Ring Realm Cluster, and due to the presence of the spectacle [Red Coral Mirage], it resulted in the fact that other than Lu Yao, neither the Psi-God nor the Bamboo Reed King could directly observe this divine country.
This reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Lu Yao ordered that Slymod try to transplant the red coral and the misty mirage into the Yao Clan’s worlds, and ordered Fellows to lead the White Castle’s attack to see if the mirage image could be restored and applied in other worlds.
After all this, he got up and rubbed his neck.
The increase in population had brought about an enhancement in physiological perception, but the magnitude of this strengthening became smaller and smaller the further back he went, and it didn’t allow Lu Yao to directly transform into a superhuman.
Fatigue and sleepiness remained unavoidable.
The human body was like this old computer, used at a high frequency for years and years, it didn’t know when something would go wrong.
That’s why Lu Yao bit the bullet and bought a second-hand laptop after the New Year as a backup.
He opened the window and took two breaths of the cold air outside.
There weren’t many pedestrians on the streets, and the early February day was cool enough to sting his face.
He noticed an envelope fluttering in the wind hanging from a streetlight in Parking Lane.
What was Song Shiyi up to again?
Lu Yao summoned Yin Saber over and waited until nightfall, when she removed the letter from the lamppost.
The envelope was a little moistened by the mist, and the letterhead inside had been encapsulated in a transparent plastic bag, so it was unaffected.
The letter read–
Miss Mary:
A short time ago I was formally promoted to Senior Prosecutor, given independent employment as a Special Intelligence Officer, and would like to interview your friend if he is interested.
The Intelligence Officer will not be required to fulfil Commission responsibilities, will only have a single line of communication with his/her liaison Senior Prosecutor, will be paid a monthly fee, and will also have access to unclassified level information in the Commission’s database. I look forward to your response.
With best regards for the new year.
Song Shiyi.
Special Intelligence Agent?
Lu Yao thought about it and decided to probe the situation first.
It wasn’t long before Yin Shabel and Song Shiyi got in touch, and the two of them met up in the parking alley.
Today, Song Shiyi wore a grey tweed coat with a white fitted turtleneck wool sweater, and her hair was a bit longer, tied into a small hairpin at the back of her head.
The bird Mingzai was still resting on her shoulder, it seemed a little sleepy, its head drooping.
“Long time no see.”
She waved in greeting.
Yinsabelle nodded, keeping her usual cold reticence.
“Miss Mary, what does your friend think about the special intelligence officer? By the way, I’d better tell you about the policy of intelligence agents first.”
Song Shiyi exhaled a mouthful of white air and spoke, “The Intelligence Agent system is a channel opened up by the committee for social groups in order to better obtain intelligence resources. As long as you can provide intelligence, you are considered an intelligence agent, and the Committee’s actuarial department grades the intelligence according to its value and conducts the settlement of intelligence rewards……. Different grades of intelligence receive different rewards.”
“Specially recruited intelligence agents are a step further, the equivalent of being an informant for the senior prosecutor himself. For the sake of security and confidentiality, a single line of contact is used, and the identity of the informant is known only to his or her single line of contact, and all responsibility is borne by the prosecutor.”
She positively described, “The budget given by the committee is that there will be $4,200 per month for intelligence. The travel allowance is $320 a day for accommodation, as well as a 120 meal allowance, reimbursement for bus and airfare, and special execution funds if you are involved in a mission ……”
“None of that matters though, what I think will be useful to your friend is the committee’s database. If you become a special intelligence agent, I will be able to disclose to you a portion of the intelligence that does not involve classified procedures.”
“This information accumulated by countless people is also the committee’s most central asset.”
Lu Yao was heartened.
4000 was a little less than his own salary, but there was no problem living alone.
More importantly, one could get away from the constraints of working hours and could concentrate on the simulator.
With the support of the data accumulated by the committee, one could also take fewer detours and get more reference information.
Yinsabel followed Lu Yao’s instructions and asked, “Why me?”
“Because you guys are strong.”
“……”
There was some truth to this answer.
Song Shiyi said with a straight face, “Of course, there’s more than this reason. We haven’t dealt with each other much, but based on my work records in my notepad, I can determine that you guys and I are actually the same kind of people.”
“Both do what is within their duties, and don’t really want to cause trouble or pry into privacy or secrets.”
“I think it would be better for us to work together.”
This reason didn’t sound like a problem.
Although Lu Yao was still convinced that if it was another person, such as a Blood Knight or a Tyrant, there would never be this kind of treatment. They might have been classified as dangerous at their first meeting, and turned into objects that the committee needed to keep under control.
Being popular was an outstanding talent in itself, and Yin Shabelle’s talent had played a big role in both her previous life and this one.
“You agree? Great.”
Song Shiyi beamed, “To celebrate us becoming colleagues, let’s go eat a stew! My treat!”
However, she seemed to immediately remember something.
“It might not be possible today …… there’s still an official matter I have to take care of.”
Yinsabel said, “Do you need any help?”
“If you’re willing, I’m certainly welcome.”
Song Shiyi spoke of the official business she had in hand.
This matter also started from the last incident of Hong Mouxiong in a roadside restaurant.
……
That Hong Mouxiong confessed to his crime after being interrogated by the committee.
However, the truth he told was surprising to the committee.
Hong Mouxiong claimed that he originally did not want to do this kind of thing, just want to use the fire props to cheat small money, breaking the criminal law big crime he did not dare.
But one day after work, he met a child in front of the restaurant.
The kid’s hair and eyebrows were white, like he had albinism. He wore a baseball cap, and his fingers were folding a piece of white paper.
The child said to Hong Mouxiong, “I saw what you did.”
Hong Mouxiong pretended not to hear and walked past.
And all the way back to the place of residence, the child actually stood in front of their homes, fingers still folding paper.
Hong Mouxiong was startled by the evil situation.
“What you did, I saw it all oh.”
The boy said softly, “You stole a lot of people’s money, if you get caught, you should go to jail, right?”
Hong Mouxiong pretended to be calm: “Who are you?”
The kid just said, “Tomorrow night, bring someone to the roof to play with me. As atonement.”
He spread out his hand and there was an extra paper man on his palm.
The paper man was blown by the wind and landed on Hong Mouxiong’s shoulder all of a sudden, making him just feel like he was being stared at by something horrible, and the hairs on his body stood up in sweat. It was as if something terrible would happen in the next second if he made a slight move.
“It will be watching you.”
The child clapped his hands, “Remember, tomorrow night you must bring someone back to me, I’ll be waiting for you on the roof. Otherwise, you’ll be the only one I have to find.”
After saying that, he walked down the stairs towards the upper floors without a trace.
Hong Mouxiong returned home in a daze, his body all drenched in sweat.
He looked around, wanting to find that white paper villain, but couldn’t find it.
Could it be that this is all some kind of hallucination?
He could not easily lie on the bed, confused lake to fall asleep, his ears suddenly rang a voice.
“Forgot to introduce myself ……”
The child’s voice sent a cold shiver through his body, and menacingly twisting the light on, he realised that the little origami man was standing in his collar.
The voice came from none other than the paper man.
“My name is Hokuto.”
The paper man said, “You can also call me Lianzhen Xingjun.”
