Chapter 337: Chapter 308: Counter Scheme, Changling Supreme God (5/6)_1

Director Hua affirmed Huo Yingjie’s actions.

Clapping his hands in approval, Director Hua said, "I didn’t expect someone so young to have such strong awareness of secrecy."

"It was Chief Engineer Sun who reminded me that this is classified. I didn’t want to be negligent and give those villains a chance to exploit it," Huo Yingjie replied with a wry smile. "I just didn’t expect to use it so soon."

"I understand. I will take care of it. You stay here for a few more days," Director Hua said. "Sorry for the inconvenience."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "It’s all for the revival, it’s not an inconvenience at all!"

Without realizing it, it was already eleven o’clock, and Chief Engineer Sun showed signs of fatigue on his face.

Stepping forward with a smile, Huo Yingjie said, "Chief Engineer Sun, you look very tired. Please go rest. Let Director Hua handle the search for the spy, they are the professionals."

Chief Engineer Sun nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Finally, I want to tell you that we scientists work hard for national security and prosperity. Even if we are wronged for a time, please do not harbor any resentment."

Chief Engineer Sun’s words deeply moved Director Hua.

Back then, for the sake of their ideals and the revolutionary cause, they hid their true names and carried out one dangerous mission after another.

Some of them died!

Some of them, though alive, were misunderstood by the world because of their grievances.

Yet they only blamed those who misunderstood them, never hating their motherland.

"I won’t," Huo Yingjie smiled and said. "I’m innocent, and I believe my unit recognizes my loyalty."

Director Hua and Chief Engineer Sun were very satisfied, they patted Huo Yingjie’s shoulder and, without saying anything, left the detention center.

This was a one-bedroom room, with a bathroom, a kitchen, food supplies, and looked like an ordinary household.

The only difference was the iron bars on the windows and the four soldiers standing guard at the door.

Huo Yingjie went to the bathroom to take a shower, and while drying his hair, he asked in his mind, "Little Rotating Turtle, do you know who tampered with it?"

Scratching its head, Little Rotating Turtle said sheepishly, "The range is too wide, I don’t know, but I do know that your three assistants should not be spies."

"Oh!" Huo Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief. "That’s good then!"

If there was a spy, Huo Yingjie would rather it be someone else, not those close to him, not those to whom he had given his emotions.

Zhou Yuanchao, Qian Miaomiao, Tang Xinliang, they were all loyal revolutionary comrades.

He did not wish for the colleagues with whom he had experienced both the good times and the bad to be spies.

In his heart, colleagues were trustworthy, the kind of people to whom one could entrust one’s back on the battlefield.

Similarly, he trusted them in the laboratory!

"Master, don’t worry," Little Rotating Turtle said. "If someone touches that safe, I can detect it immediately, and I’ll know who that person is!"

Huo Yingjie smiled and praised, "Thank you, Little Rotating Turtle! Without you, I would have had a hard time getting through this!"

"No need to thank me, you are my master. If those people bully you, they are bullying me, Little Rotating Turtle," Little Rotating Turtle said indignantly. "Although I don’t understand what you mean by your country, revolution, stealth planes, I do understand the meaning of loyalty. My past master was good to me, saved my life, and that’s whom I’m loyal to until I vanish from this world."

Little Rotating Turtle’s childlike voice deeply touched Huo Yingjie!

During the time he had spent with Little Rotating Turtle, Huo Yingjie became very curious about the Changling Supreme God mentioned by Little Rotating Turtle!

Who was that person, to have gained such a true heart?

"Little Rotating Turtle, can you tell me about your master, the Changling Supreme God?" Huo Yingjie asked softly. There hadn’t been time before, but now, without work and unable to sleep, he wanted to know.

For a period of time, Huo Yingjie had often dreamt!

The silhouette of a man with silver hair, traversing the heavens and the earth!

Sometimes, playing a flute in beautifully scenic places!

Sometimes, the flute on his back would transform into a bloodthirsty weapon of slaughter, invincible!

Sometimes, standing alone on the top of a cliff, facing the wind!

Sometimes, missing someone! Missing them so deeply that it caused a furrowed brow and heart-wrenching pain.

Huo Yingjie wanted to see the silver-haired man’s face clearly but couldn’t.

He wanted to know who this man held in his heart, but he never found out!

That’s why he asked this question today!

Little Rotating Turtle, upon hearing this, quickly immersed himself in memories. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My master was handsome and poised..."

What followed was nearly five minutes of praise!

Huo Yingjie looked at Little Rotating Turtle in this state and, for the first time, did not mock Little Rotating Turtle.

Because he saw in Little Rotating Turtle’s tiny round eyes, not ridicule, but admiration! Those words of praise were not a joke.

Uh-uh... and absolute love...

Yes, it was love!

Like the love for a father...

Affection that was genuine, fervent, and utterly unreserved!

Huo Yingjie held Little Rotating Turtle in the palm of his hand and said, "Actually, having a companion like you, your master was blessed!"

Upon hearing this, Little Rotating Turtle seemed a bit downhearted and said, "My master was not fortunate. I know he always liked Fairy Yun, but he never expressed it. Only after Fairy Yun got married did he think of stealing the bride..."

This was too melodramatic!

Huo Yingjie was stunned and said, "Then your master was too foolish, not even knowing his own heart. And then what happened..."

"Then..." Little Rotating Turtle began, "when Fairy Yun found out that my master liked her, it was too late. She had already put on someone else’s bridal gown and could not change her fate. On the day of Fairy Yun’s wedding, a great war broke out between Gods and Demons. My master led the people of the Divine Realm to resist the Demon Clan. Alas, the Immortals had been poisoned by Immortal Dispersal Powder, leaving only my master, who had not drunk out of jealousy and still had his full combat strength. The others were fortunate just to survive. My master was surrounded by a horde of demons and was about to be pierced by the Demon Monarch’s Demon Sword. At that moment, Fairy Yun stepped in front of my master and vanished into specks of starlight. Fairy Yun was utterly destroyed, body and soul, and my master, overcome with rage, fought the horde of demons alone and killed the Demon Monarch. With the Demon Monarch gone, the horde of demons retreated." Little Rotating Turtle’s eyes showed terror, for at that time, he too had wanted to save his master, only to be kicked away by the Demon Monarch.

By the time he returned, he found his master covered in blood!

At that time, my master’s white clothes had turned to bloodied garments!

His eyes, black and white like stars, were filled with the crimson of slaughter.

"What happened after that?" Huo Yingjie continued to ask, finding this far more intriguing than mythological novels.

"After that, I went into seclusion with my master. Once his wounds healed, he took me traveling everywhere. At that time, I could not speak and sometimes even failed to understand, so I didn’t know what my master was thinking or planning to do!" Little Rotating Turtle said, then looked at Huo Yingjie, "As for why my master turned into you, I’m also very curious!"

Seeing that Little Rotating Turtle had brought the conversation to him, Huo Yingjie laughed and said, "I don’t know why, but after having those dreams a few times, like the scenes you described from the Immortal Realm, ’Thoughts during the day, dreams at night’, I always thought they came from listening to the stories you had told before and didn’t take them seriously. But I don’t think so anymore!"
