Chapter 482: Chapter 481: Plotting Mischief, Coming Prepared

Shells created by directly depriving consciousness are inherently anti-human.

The Light and Shadow Association even wants to mass-produce them, it’s simply insane.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zixun asked, "Brother-in-law, do you know what shells are?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Linfan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you talking about that puppet that appeared in Zone 11?"

"Yes."

Lu Zixun nodded slightly and took a deep breath, "That’s just a term used by the Three Prefectures to deceive the public; a shell is an extremely cruel war machine."

Even if the Three Prefectures tried to block the news, that was only possible among the ordinary spiritual ability users.

Recalling the information transmitted to him, and the devastation caused by the shells, Wang Linfan pursed his lips, "Mentioning shells specifically at this time, there must be a significant connection with the Light and Shadow Association, right?"

Sometimes, the reason why it’s time-saving and efficient to talk to smart people is right here.

Not everything needs to be explained in great detail.

Seeing Lu Zixun nod, Wang Linfan’s brow furrowed, "The Three Prefectures actually have connections with the Light and Shadow Association, is this what’s currently trending on the Star Network?"

Unaware of this internet slang, Lu Zixun looked at Xiong Kang with an inquisitive expression.

"When the Three Prefectures weren’t yet called the Three Prefectures, they vehemently declared that even if they died at the hands of the Insect Clan or jumped into the Abyss, they would not acknowledge the existence of the Light and Shadow Association."

After explaining, Xiong Kang let out a cold laugh, "Now they’ve completely turned, not even a warning is needed."

"Since the merger of the Three Prefectures, some of their actions have become somewhat incomprehensible."

Wang Linfan also shared his opinion, "If they aren’t for humanity, they wouldn’t specially create a Genetic Optimization Formula; but if they are for humanity, they wouldn’t collude with the Light and Shadow Association."

Although the Genetic Optimization Formula is somewhat inhumane,

it has to be said that the Three Prefectures genuinely consider the sustainable development of the people of the Crimson Land.

However, the moment a shell appeared in Zone 11, Lu Zixun no longer saw it that way.

"The birth of the shell is to sacrifice the consciousness of the spiritual ability user to the god worshiped by the Light and Shadow Association."

Pausing for a moment, Lu Zixun continued, "The sacrificed consciousness of the spiritual ability user will be locked into a spiritual prison where they are tortured day and night, while their bodies undergo drastic changes."

Thinking about the information received about the shells that reached around five meters in height,

Xiong Kang’s eyes flashed with contemplation, "Such an evil practice; even the self-righteous Three Prefectures have their times of disgrace."

"It doesn’t matter how the Three Prefectures ruin their reputation; that’s not our concern right now... the problem is,"

After contemplating, Wang Linfan said with a frown, "how to stop the actions of the Light and Shadow Association from making shells."

"If I refuse them now, the Light and Shadow Association will definitely find someone else; there’s no doubt about that."

"The conditions the Light and Shadow Association has offered are such that others might truly not be able to resist the temptation, advancing to J-level within two years is too generous an offer."

Other spiritual ability users, unlike Lu Zixun who’s an anomaly, find it extremely rare to reach J-level under the scarce spiritual energy of the Crimson Land, let alone advance to J-level within two years.

Considering the modus operandi of the Light and Shadow Association, Lu Zixun felt that this promise would be honored.

Only, it wouldn’t be honored as a human, but in exchange for turning them into shells.

Hearing Lu Zixun’s opinion, Wang Linfan shrugged, "Cooperating with the Light and Shadow Association is undoubtedly making a deal with the devil, but the situation in the Crimson Land is deteriorating, and any increase in strength contributes to safety; in such an environment, it’s inevitable that some will make foolish choices."

"Indeed, this is inevitable."

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun’s beard quivered a few times, "Brother-in-law, if you refuse the Light and Shadow Association, would you still know whom they contact?"

"Clearly not, the representatives from the Light and Shadow Association who came this time are very vigilant and cautious, making tracking them quite difficult."

As he spoke, Wang Linfan, having thought of something, narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait, it seems there is someone who can do it."

"Zhen Zhuo Xiu."

Speaking the name simultaneously with Wang Linfan, Lu Zixun felt things beginning to clarify.

"As long as Zhen Zhuo Xiu can follow the people from the Light and Shadow Association, even if they find their candidate for High Priest, we can prepare in advance. At the same time, we might even be able..."

His gaze deepened; Lu Zixun, in that instant, thought of many ways to deal with the Light and Shadow Association.

"After Youyou’s birthday banquet, the Light and Shadow Association will come knocking again. Then, it will be up to you what to do."

With a light chuckle, Wang Linfan passed the burden to Lu Zixun—it was his rejection to make.

Lu Zixun felt reluctant, but he agreed nonetheless.

The hands-off manager also had his days of being assigned tasks—is this what they call karma?

As for why they needed to track the Light and Shadow Association rather than having Wang Linfan go undercover directly, that approach was entirely unfeasible.

The Light and Shadow Association wasn’t so foolish; verbal promises naturally meant nothing. When the time came, they would definitely need to worship the Light and Shadow Master.

After discussing the matters regarding the Light and Shadow Association and the battle plans for Sha Fei, the conversation at Wang Linfan’s home returned to a recurring topic: what gift to bring for Yang Youyou’s birthday banquet.

Lu Zixun, together with Lin Siyin in the guest room, was almost driven to desperation.

He had initially thought to just give something simple, not anticipating that choosing a birthday gift could involve so much consideration.

Fresh from her bath, Lin Siyin, carrying the scent of shower gel, embraced Lu Zixun in her arms.

Lu Zixun turned to look at Lin Siyin and suddenly understood.

His mind cleared of the matter of the gift; it was time to gather the Power of Faith.

...

"Da Ju, do you think this looks good?"

"Good-looking."

At this moment, Lin Siyin, under the pretense of picking a gift for Yang Youyou, had been shopping with Lu Zixun in the mall for three hours.

He gave a lackluster response while watching Lin Siyin excitedly run off to try on clothes, Lu Zixun looking utterly disheartened.

Then, He Changyu, who was managing the mall, seeing a familiar orange figure, hurried over.

Upon confirming it was indeed Lu Zixun, He Changyu exclaimed with surprise, "Lord Xun, what are you doing here?"

Lu Zixun, with a listless expression, nodded without much enthusiasm.

"Lord Xun, my old man wants to invite you for a meal, when would you be available?"

He Changyu, sitting next to Lu Zixun, blinked and asked.

Before Lu Zixun could even refuse, He Changyu shrank to the ground, hugging Lu Zixun’s leg and began to wail.
