Chapter 3890 What a lucky crazy woman!
The birth of a cannon fodder Dark Soul... or rather, a half-finished Dark Soul, wouldn't even be fully recorded, much less alarm Boss Luo at the top of the [Shop] food chain.
Because it was transformed from 0.1 grams of the "Otherworldly Source" extracted from John himself, it was naturally imbued with John's aura—in fact, the current Vongola VIII and John can be regarded as a special "unity".
"Dark Souls don't forbid devouring each other. Right now, you're like a walking, free buffet; any Dark Soul could easily eat you up. So, if you're not confident you can evade the covetous eyes of all the Dark Souls, the only way is to never leave my side, understand? Eighth Rebirth~"
"I understand, Master..."
And so, Vongola VIII officially began his career as a cannon fodder Dark Soul Messenger—transforming from an ordinary human into a being that is immortal to some extent, thus fulfilling his original dream.
The next morning, when Roseweather discovered that there was an extra rat in the exorcist's office, she reacted rather strongly—it was then that little Tina realized that her sister Roseweather seemed to have an innate aversion to rats.
After a flurry of activity, John, having finished his breakfast, elegantly wiped his lips before tapping his cup with his spoon. "Alright, ladies, we should get going."
"John, any requests today?" Tina asked instinctively... But no clients came to ask for help yesterday.
Roseweather also cast a questioning glance at her.
John smiled and said, "We didn't have any assignments today. We went out to do some reporting."
"Report..."
Then John produced an offer letter, bearing a logo familiar to every American: [S.H.I.E.L.D.]
To be precise, it's the current [New Skyguard].
"I will be serving as an external consultant for the new Skyward E.L.D., and you two will naturally be my assistants!" John said happily. "From now on, we can enjoy the support of this country's taxpayers. Aren't you excited?"
"What does a consultant do?" Roseweather paused, taken aback.
John casually remarked, "It seems to be something like image management? We'll find out the specifics when we get there! Anyway, it should be quite interesting~"
Roseweather rolled her eyes instinctively.
—What the hell is image management?
—I haven't seen this guy go out for the past few days. How did he manage to do that?
"Then can I get a raise?!" Taina didn't understand much; this ancient Mayan girl was far from being at the stage where she could pursue spiritual enrichment.
“Your salary will increase by fifty percent!” John waved his hand.
"Let's go now!" The girl could no longer contain her excitement!
……
Almost simultaneously, a not-so-confidential intelligence document was also delivered to the hands of the "Fire Cloud Evil God" at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The old man still needs to stay here for some time, so naturally he has to handle all sorts of matters, big and small.
"...【The Alliance of Hope】?" The old man opened the intelligence file, read it carefully, and then frowned slightly.
The intelligence scout nodded and said, "The gist is that they are 'people who bring hope to the country.' In reality, they are a special team formed by selecting qualified 'non-humans' from the general public. The initial number of members is tentatively set at 24, so it is also called 'HA24'! They will be subject to national supervision and grow under the public eye. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will be eliminated, and new members will be elected to fill the vacancies. There will also be a graduation ceremony every year..."
The old man was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this just a boy band?"
"...There should also be female [non-humans]."
Gao Tan scratched his head and said, "So, Lord Evil God also knows about boy groups?"
"Same idea." The old scoundrel shook his head. "These guys can even make money off of non-human beings. I have to say... could this be the idea of those old money and old Jews?"
"Too many terrible things have happened in the United States lately, haven't they?" Detective Gao shrugged. "There always needs to be something to divert public attention. Actually, I feel that this [HA24] project has quite potential... After all, the idea of 'entertainment to the death' is deeply ingrained here."
The old man casually tossed the documents onto the table. In any case, whether it was HA16 or HB48, as long as they couldn't produce a pass from the new organization, they couldn't leave the United States.
If the United States wants to stimulate its domestic economy and divert public attention, let it do what it wants—this country is now a tiger whose claws have been stripped.
After letting the detective leave, the old man started his daily routine of scanning Carol (B) – the Bureau's higher-ups took this prisoner very seriously.
After all, she was the only prisoner in the invasion of an alien civilization who was not affiliated with the Asgardian realm... Moreover, according to Carol (B), she came from a completely different side from the Asgardian realm!
——【Scientific Perspective】!
What intrigued the old man was that Carol (B) seemed unusually compliant in the face of imprisonment, and answered almost every question about the "scientific side" without any attempt to hide anything.
Her only request was that she not be mistreated and that her human rights be protected during her captivity... In addition, she needed to notify the organization she worked for, [TGX], to discuss the matter of ransom and repatriation.
To this, [Fire Cloud Evil God] readily agreed—who knows where this [TGX] is?
Anyway, men's words are deceitful, so why not just agree for now?
This foreign girl seems a bit...big-chested and brainless!
……
Good morning, Miss Carol.
Carole (B) was imprisoned in a decent room. Although she couldn't go out, she could at least move around inside the embassy. For a prisoner, Carole (B) was satisfied with her current situation.
Anyway, she's bound by the Dragon King's power, so she can't escape.
After the old man greeted Carol (B), he sat down to the side and put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses: "What are we going to learn today?"
Wearing a simple white shirt and black skirt, Carol (B) pointed to the notebook on the table and said, "[Science side] The vowel pronunciation of the common language. There are 739 pronunciations in total. Only after learning this can we begin to formally learn how to use the written language."
"Alright." The old man nodded.
He was a studious person who enjoyed one-on-one teaching—the best way to understand the existence of a civilization was, of course, to start by learning its writing system.
"By the way, did you send a message to [TGX] as I told you?" Carol (B) asked with a hopeful look on her face.
The old man, without batting an eye, said, "With the current technology in our world, it will take some time to achieve what you described. However, our researchers are already working overtime to overcome the technology you provided, so it shouldn't be long... Miss Carol, we Chinese don't lie."
Carroll (B) nodded expressionlessly.
She wasn't very clear about the Shenzhou people, but the Shenzhou Dragon Lord was a genuine super-strong person with the title "Radiant Moon"... Which such being wasn't a famous big shot in the void?
She believed that the Dragon Lord of Shenzhou's "retinue" at least had some sense of shame... right?
—There's nothing we can do but believe it.
……
……
Shenzhou... [Qilin City].
The day after the Lantern Festival, Qilin City was hit by a continuous drizzle, which was also the first rain in Qilin City since the Spring Festival.
The whole city seemed to slow down because of the rain, becoming a bit languid.
The mysterious shop hidden in the alley of the commercial pedestrian street was unusually quiet today... After finishing her daily cleaning, the maid Bai Zhi sat in a corner, resting her chin on her hands, staring blankly at the drizzle outside—occasionally yawning.
And then...and then I secretly stole a few glances at Boss Luo.
She was actually a little puzzled. Since they weren't doing business for the time being, why did the owner still like to stay here... Wasn't he bored?
Ding Ding Ding-!
The bell hanging on the pine door suddenly rang, and Bai Zhi jumped up and stood up quickly—but she didn't see any special guests... such as a Miss Long or anything like that.
He was someone Bai Zhi knew who appeared directly in the shop's lobby.
"Mr. Wen!" Bai Zhi's eyes widened in surprise, and she was also delighted.
After all, strictly speaking, Wen Duo, like her, belongs to the [Azure] category... perhaps they have an innate sense of familiarity with their hometown.
"Hello, Miss Bai Zhi." Wen Duo was unusually polite, which seemed quite out of place with his rugged physique. "Where is the young master?"
"Ah, Master is in the study!" Bai Zhi quickly said, "You can go up there without any problem."
"I understand." Wen Duo nodded, then walked up to Bai Zhi, conjured a small bag with a flick of his hand, and smiled slightly, saying, "A souvenir, bought on the way."
"What is this?" Bai Zhi was taken aback.
Wen Duo smiled and said, "I hope you like some of the street food and pastries from Kunlun."
"I love it!" Bai Zhi nodded repeatedly. "Thank you, Mr. Wen!"
"If you like it, I'll go up now." Wen Duo nodded.
Bai Zhi watched Wen Duo go up and thought with some emotion: Mr. Wen is really a good person!
……
In the study room.
Boss Luo gently propped his forehead up, closed his eyes, and listened to a phantom speaking. This phantom was none other than Gao Chang Gong, who was currently in a certain place on the [Magic Side].
Although it is a phantom, its realism is comparable to that of a holographic projection—the background is a dense meteorite belt.
"...So, you'd better be careful of Lady Meng. I'm afraid she might do something outrageous." Old Gao finished speaking and then lowered his head slightly.
Boss Luo has been silent for a long time, and Gao Changgong can only wait silently... The heart of a ruler is unpredictable.
"He used [Forget] on himself... and doesn't seem to regret it." Boss Luo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gao Chang Gong. "Now that you mention it, this [Fourth Beginning] is quite interesting."
--interesting?
—It should be terrifying…
Gao Chang Gong was almost completely forgetting his conversation with Lord Meng... The fact that he could still barely remember it was already his greatest effort!
In fact, it was as if he was being made to recount these things—after Lao Gao finished speaking, he had already forgotten them all.
Based solely on the item in his hand, one can deduce that after entering the [Golden Palace], he likely experienced a gambling game.
"Are you afraid of her?" Boss Luo asked curiously, "Because of her special abilities?"
Regarding this "Fourth Beginning," currently, Boss Luo only has Lao Gao as a reference.
Gao Changgong pondered and said, "The ability to forget isn't really that scary. As long as we find a way to deal with it, we can always avoid it. What's truly terrifying about Lady Meng is her madness and obsession."
Boss Luo blinked. "For example..."
Gao Changgong said, "I recall something from back then. I heard that Lord Meng once staked all his achievements in a gamble against the former Holy Lord in order to win back his other half of his soul in the Soul Palace. Moreover, both parties had to promise that they could only rely on luck..."
"Did she win or lose in the end?" Boss Luo asked curiously. The Soul Palace had been destroyed during the Holy Land period, and the Ark of the Covenant was built later, so Boss Luo couldn't judge whether the bet had ended well or not.
Gao Changgong shook his head. "I don't know the outcome of that bet... I only once heard Lord Fuxi say something like this: 'What a lucky madwoman...'"
Boss Luo gave a soft hum and fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "I think you should have completely forgotten about entering the Golden Palace by now."
“Yes, I have no memory of it at all.” Gao Changgong nodded.
“In that case, there’s no need to dwell on it.” Boss Luo smiled slightly. “Now that you’ve obtained the items that will help you, continue your mission… Don’t push yourself too hard. Just chat with me occasionally.”
Cack-clack——!
There's a knock on the door.
Gao Changgong, who wanted to say something more, quickly nodded and said, "Then, Changgong will take his leave."
The illusory image slowly dissipated.
"Come in," Boss Luo finally replied.
"Young Master!" Wen Duo pushed open the door and entered, looking travel-worn.
He has that kind of image where you can tell he's working diligently and without slacking off at all—his image management and facial expression management are top-notch!
"You've come to see me, so you must have already made preparations, right?" Boss Luo gestured for Wen Duo to sit down.
He actually quite likes Wenduo... and it's indeed very convenient to use.
Wen Duo sat upright and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, I will be going to their residence with Tyrannosaurus and Di Qinglong later... Young Master, would you like to see a show?"
"Then I look forward to your performance." Boss Luo smiled slightly.
……
……
【Azure】...【Fire Cloud Holy City】.
【Kowloon Billiards Room】.
We're eating vegetarian food today.
[Tyrannosaurus] Brother was listlessly flipping over the stir-fried bean sprouts that had no oil at all—the lard he had secretly slipped to the kitchen was discovered by the bald handsome guy, who then used it to wipe his bald head!
Having lost his appetite, Tyrannosaurus Rex kicked Di Qinglong under the table.
Di Qinglong calmly put down his chopsticks. "Master, I have something to discuss with you."
The bald, handsome young man asked curiously, "Wuneng, we, master and disciple, are of one heart. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. How can you say it's a discussion?"
“It’s like this,” Di Qinglong said solemnly, “I recently met a friend who is particularly interested in Buddhism. However, my understanding of Buddhism is not thorough enough, and I’m afraid I might make a mistake when I give a sermon to this friend… So, I can only trouble you, Master.”
"That's great!" Upon hearing this, the bald, handsome young man immediately rolled up his sleeves. There was no reason for him to refuse. "Promoting Buddhism is my lifelong aspiration! Where is your friend? Quickly bring him to me. I want to have a good talk with him!"
[Tyrannosaurus] Bro's brow twitched. Judging from the bald guy's posture... Damn it, that old bastard Bai Wuxia, is he going to get beaten to death?!
"Since we are going to preach, I will go and prepare first!"
It's clear that the bald, handsome guy was really looking forward to the meeting—he even went to get his hair washed!
[Tyrannosaurus] Bro and Di Qinglong exchanged a glance: Plan Achieved!
—You two will be free soon!!
