353: Chapter 66 Movements of All Parties_2 353: Chapter 66 Movements of All Parties_2 Half a second later, the life of the once mighty demon was extinguished.
A red silhouette chuckled mirthlessly, “Quick, fill in with a new Four Heavenly Kings!”
All the Evil Spirits were trembling, an ancient skeleton clambered up to fill the vacancy.
It quivered as it spoke, “Lord Kong Wang!
I heard that a novel Calamity God-child has come to Zero Island, bearing wondrous and unimaginable powers!”
“Calamity God-child, huh?
Tell me more!”
One Evil Spirit after another relayed the information they knew.
“He can help gods conceal themselves!” “He can see through all Illusion Techniques.” “He carries the power of destruction…” “I heard he can even tell fortunes.” “The brothers on Dahe Island told me he defeated the Ninja Army Leader!”
“Oh…
Oh!” the red figure clapped its hands, “How interesting!”
The skeleton was eagerly kowtowing, “Thank you, Great One—” but before it could finish, it saw a red cloud drifting in.
“But I already know, so you still have to die.”
The newly appointed Four Heavenly Kings had just assumed their position when they met their demise, replaced by a plant person with a sickly green complexion now kneeling before them.
The red shadow said spiritedly, “Let’s do a comic dialogue!
Dance a bit!
Play some games!”
Thus the demons split into three groups, each straining their utmost to entertain their leader.
Most of their breaths were of the Divine Communication Realm, and there were even several Evil Spirits of Manifestation Level.
Such powers are not to be underestimated in any country, yet here they were, acting like children, engaging in infantile antics…
Forcing laughter, making themselves look foolish intentionally…
They had cast aside their once dignified nature, all for the sake of a mere laugh from their leader.
“Laugh!
Make merry!
Drink and carouse!” The sinister laughter caused the once mischievous demons to quake in their bones.
“Tell everyone on Dahe Island, I want Weiyuan City this year.
Have them prepare for my arrival to claim it!”
Cangshou District, the City of the Azure Sky.
The Dragon Head International Integrated Office Building on the 66th floor was a hive of activity, with conversations never ceasing and everyone too preoccupied to modulate their volumes.
The hum of swiftly operating machinery drowned out even the tapping of slim keyboards.
To facilitate communication, the Impermanence Law Enforcers resorted to using paper cranes, causing documents to flutter ceaselessly through the air, the control room looking like a children’s fairy tale forest.
Here were not only officials from the Empire but also the elite pulled in from Morton and Ustus.
Each one of these individuals boasted a resume impressive enough to astonish, any of their life stories worthy of a two-million-word memoir.
Yet now, they were all consumed with their tasks at hand, not a trace of the ease and composure expected of “national elites” in sight.
The electronic screens rendered everyone’s face ghostly pale, their varied complexions making them look like a gathering of famished spirits from all over, their work interactions resembling the mutterings of wandering ghosts casting spells or curses on one another.
“Please provide the results ASAP after the new model test…””Is the comprehensive report on the reality destruction before and after the two Colored Glaze Disasters not ready yet?…””The lab is pushing for urgency, I’ll hurry them along.” “Tell them to put other non-essential tasks aside, this is the final reiteration that Dragon Disaster response always takes priority.
If I don’t see results in 10 minutes, send someone to threaten Cecil with fire and brimstone.” “Suggesting we cut her hair might be more effective.” “Alright, then change it to that.”
Liu Zhongwu walked into the command center with his large tea cup just in time to overhear two joint agents loudly plotting to cut off the hair of the city’s top technical expert.
He pretended not to hear, placing his giant mug on the table and asked, “How are things?”
His old friend Onowell Snook was engrossed in an electronic book of ancient texts, without looking up, he gestured with his right hand towards the large screen in front.
“Will is discussing it.”
The top-right corner of the large screen displayed the incoming audio from Agent Will, indicating an ongoing call with the small speaker icon vibrating, “Ninja Army Leader, Zuiyan has agreed to cooperate.
The contract was signed three minutes ago, and I personally oversaw it.”
“Great!” Director Liu clapped his hands in excitement, “With control over the Barrier, things will progress well!”
The strategists responsible for the operation plans simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.
“We were about to resort to plan B.” “Luring Ming Guest to Zero Island isn’t really a plan…” “That saves us the trouble of assassination and disguise.”
Plan B was to have Agent Will assassinate Zuiyan and then impersonate the old Ninja to carry out the mission.
This typical joint style draft was deemed preposterous by Liu Zhongwu when he reviewed it.
The corpulent director quickly adjusted his demeanor, inquiring amiably, “Chuyun Feiyi, how’s the progress with the communication of the six large shrines?”
In the lower-right corner of the large screen was a live video of an elderly woman with white hair, the Divine Master Chuyun Feiyi from Huangquan Shrine.
“Everyone has braced themselves for what’s coming, except for the deity with unique circumstances, Gongsun Ce.
All other Lord of Gods have agreed.
It’s just…”
The old witch sighed with concern.
“Truth be told, we’re all worried about the developments of tomorrow.
Are you sure you want to take such drastic measures?
At our age, we no longer fear death.
But what about the many young people…”
Director Liu said solemnly, “I fully understand your concerns.
As you know, we are fighting for the interests of your nation and all of humanity—”
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion reverberated through the command center, and the well-trained elites immediately took emergency response measures.
They held up various weapons, vigilantly observing the situation, only to discover that the incredibly realistic sound of the explosion originated from the room’s speakers.
A huge, colorful explosion bubble abruptly occupied two-thirds of the large screen, and then a neurotic female voice assaulted the expressionless senior executives.
“What a fucking great piece of news!” Doctor Cecil’s tone seemed to tear through the dark clouds over the edifice of physics, “The cognitive interference experiment has made new progress, the theoretical limit of the new weapon has increased by at least 2.87 times—I guarantee this thing could knock the shit out of the Void Light Dragon!”
The senior executives continued expressionless.
Sometimes, that’s just how it is: a group of people pondering great principles and fates, weighing the impact of a plan on all of humanity and nations, while another group only thinks about how big a hole their new toy can blast and, upon discovering it’s a mega hole, they’re eager to share this explosive, fantastic news with everyone.
Under the heavy gaze of his old friend, Onowell cleared his throat.
“Ahem!
Thank you for your enthusiastic sharing, Doctor Cecil.
Could you now please return to your workstation and hand me the Colored Glaze Disaster’s real damage comprehensive comparison report?”
“I’ve told you I loathe this non-creative work—”
Onowell’s beard trembled with anger, and his roar made the conference room buzz.
“Do it!”
“OK, OK.”
Doctor Cecil muttered as she slipped away.
The old witch, having overheard this little episode, had a complex expression on her face, feeling as if the concerns of the old fogeys and the thoughts of the young people were two parallel lines that never intersected.
Liu Zhongwu said reassuringly, “Madam, you must have confidence in our level of technology.
As you see, our chief technical expert just reported excellent news, which is like a shot in the arm for the upcoming plan.”
“You’re right,” the old witch relaxed her brows, “We will do our best.”
“Everyone will do their best.”
After bidding farewell, Chuyun Feiyi cut off the communication; she would join the Divine Masters of other shrines for tomorrow’s plan.
Liu Zhongwu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally placated the people of Zero Island.
The seniors stopped talking, only listening to the representative agent’s speaker rustling.
“…Mr.
Will,” Director Liu couldn’t help but ask, “what are you doing right now, if I may be so bold?”
“I’m accustomed to dealing with crime moderately before officially starting the mission.
It helps me adjust and relieve stress,” the agent’s voice remained steady, “Weiyuan City has plenty of suitable targets, and I will request to stay longer in this city once the mission is over.”
Liu Zhongwu imagined an agent in a trench coat leaping between skyscrapers, dispatching a criminal with one shot while casually conversing with them.
He nodded repeatedly.
“You’re very professional.”
The corpulent director didn’t dally on idle talk and hung up the communication.
He sank into his chair and inquired, “How are the commissioners doing?”
“I instructed them to conserve energy in preparation for the decisive battle; they are now on standby at our outpost outside of Weiyuan City,” Onowell spoke as he flipped through an ancient tome, “Gongsun Ce has initiated a request to communicate with Yan Qi for the 20th time.”
“Never mind him, I want to as well.
Mr.
Yan is busy with the affairs of the state and can’t be free for a while,” Director Liu took a sip of tea, “Let them rest well, if everything goes smoothly, it will all be over tomorrow.”
“Looking at this plan full of uncertainties, can’t we come up with a truly safe method?”
“Oh, Ao, even a crippled Colored Glaze Disaster wreaked such havoc on the Cangshou Metropolis, this time we’ll likely be facing a monarch in his prime.
Where’s the perfect solution?” the Calamity Mage sighed long, “We’ll just have to do our best.”
