Chapter 903 Consultant (please vote for the big chapter)
Shortly after He Ao returned, Li Cheng also regained his mobility under Goya's treatment, and everyone in the nursing home also received news of the return of the 'missing persons'.
Then everyone's eyes focused on 'Hao Yi'.
Ruode made a special trip to ask 'Hao Yi' how he did it.
He Ao briefly talked about the bubble space and the ritual, but only hid part of the information related to the pages of the Book of the Past.
After that, Li Cheng took 'Hao Yi' out to drink tea, but he didn't ask anything. He just expressed his gratitude to 'Hao Yi' for taking action.
Ji An did not show up. He refused guests now. Except for nurses and doctors, he did not see any extraordinary people from the three major organizations. He stayed in the room all day without even leaving the door. When the medical staff went in, they only saw him sleeping.
While controlling Hao Yi's clone, he was drinking tea and chatting with Li Cheng.
He Ao's true form has once again unfolded the pages of the Book of the Past in the ward.
What surprised him was that after destroying the bubble-filled space, the pages in his hand seemed to be more 'complete'.
Then there is a new ability, ‘Past Space’.
This ability can open up a "past space" in nothingness and drag the specified object into this "past space". This past space can reproduce a certain deep memory of the object's past.
This ability can only bring in B-level extraordinary beings at most, and the cost of creating the space also needs to be paid by He Ao. The stronger the object brought in, the greater the cost.
He Ao estimated that if he paid the price himself without sacrifice, he would be able to support at most one or two "past spaces" that could accommodate C-class.
The cost is much greater than summoning the Phantom of the Past.
However, this ability may play some special roles at certain special moments.
Letting the pages of the Book of the Past in his hand shatter into ashes, He Ao put it away.
It is said to be collected, but actually it is put in the pocket.
The pages of the Book of the Past do not have the ability to hide in the void naturally like the Eye of Truth Slate, but it can be broken into ashes and float in the air. It does not take up much space, so He Ao can control it casually when it is not in use.
Find a corner to hang out with your clothes.
After completely controlling this page, He Ao also controlled the spread of pollution. As long as you don't come into close contact, you won't be able to feel the pollution.
At this moment, the clone of 'Hao Yi' is still chatting with Li Cheng outside.
Liu Zhengyun and the others are currently running around the entire Western Territory with the 'Forgetting Stone' and the World Tree's 'Forgetting Spring' which has a similar effect, trying to 'cover up' the memories of the people covered by the bloody sun.
This kind of cover-up will reduce the connection between ordinary people and extraordinary powers and reduce the probability of them encountering extraordinary events.
Of course, a large-scale cover-up will inevitably lead to many people slipping through the net. Some people may even go crazy because they know too much, becoming a "danger factor" that may harm other people.
And this also means that the management difficulty of the areas covered by subsequent Blood Suns will be greatly increased.
However, these "injured" people don't need to worry about these things now.
He used his mind to control 'Hao Yi' and chatted with Li Cheng about various anecdotes. He Ao simply controlled his body and lay down on the bed to have a good sleep.
······
Until sunset, the sky is getting dark.
Feeling the twilight fading, after the medical staff came to remind the two of them to rest early, Li Cheng put away the tea bowl in his hand, looked at the steaming tea in the tea bowl, and fell into silence slightly.
On the side, He Ao controlled his clone to slowly hold the tea, took a sip, and took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake placed next to him.
They are now in a sanatorium in the Republic of Ika. As an area under the rule of the World Tree, there was originally no such thing as tea and osmanthus cake.
However, the Ika Republic is now under the actual control of He Ao, and this sanatorium was also chosen by He Ao. He directly asked Yan Yue to find a place that was relatively quiet but close to the core area of the Ika Republic.
Yan Yue found this place and arranged for many staff from China to come over. He also found many things from local supermarkets that were in line with China's customs and put them in this sanatorium.
"In other words, it is difficult for angels to control their own reason?"
While 'Hao Yi' was eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Li Cheng, who had been silent for a while, finally slowly asked.
"as far as I know,"
He Ao slightly put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand and looked out the window at the sunset. "There are many more angels who have gone crazy and lost their senses than those who have remained sane."
"I see."
Li Cheng, whose face turned pale, took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.
At this time, the medical staff came over again and reminded the two of them to rest.
‘Hao Yi’s’ injury was not serious, but Li Cheng couldn’t bear it anymore, so he said goodbye to ‘Hao Yi’, turned around and returned to his ward with the medical staff.
Watching Li Cheng leave, He Ao picked up the tea and took a sip.
Throughout the afternoon, Li Chengdu asked him about the 'angel' in a subtle way.
The setting sun in the sky gradually disappears under the Western Mountain, and the diffuse stars are revealed little by little.
He Ao, who was drinking tea, paused and looked behind him.
It seemed that a figure had just passed through the corridor behind him quickly.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and put the last half of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth.
······
At this moment, the old man standing in front of the ward door in the corner stroked his beard and took a deep breath.
Hao Yi's perception is too strong. I wonder if he noticed that he didn't. He probably didn't notice, right?
Click——
At this moment, the door next to him suddenly opened.
The old man was startled and subconsciously wanted to run away, but after seeing the young man wearing a hospital gown who opened the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is something wrong?"
He Ao looked at Rudel outside the door with doubts on his face.
"I have something to discuss with you."
Rudel coughed, straightened his body, and took out the B-level majesty. As he spoke, he stretched out half of his foot, as if he was about to enter the ward.
He Ao tilted his head, glanced at Rudel, moved half of his body to let him enter the ward, and then closed the door.
Rudel, who successfully entered the room, breathed a sigh of relief. He coughed again, "I don't know if you have a very important job..."
"Not interested in."
He Ao walked past Rodel, sat on the hospital bed, and said casually.
"ah?"
Rudel choked on his words. He looked at He Ao, "You haven't heard what I said about the job. The pay is very good..."
"I have no interest in cleaning up your mess,"
He Ao shrugged and looked at Ruo Del, "You approached the dean, but the dean didn't agree, so you came to find me secretly? Were you hiding from the dean just now? Are you afraid that the dean will stop you?"
"I,"
Rudel opened his mouth to deny it, but when he saw the young man's bright eyes in front of him, which were like sharp blades breaking through the curtain, he still took a breath and sat on the chair opposite He Ao.
"Little guy, you are capable, but what kind of deputy minister are you in Middle-earth? If you come to me, you can get whatever you want. I can make you the special person in charge. When you come to Yggdrasil, you only need to listen to me and sing.
Just follow Ya’s orders,”
He paused and continued,
"After this incident is over, it stands to reason that we will take back the Republic of Ika. This is a big country in the West. Resources and materials are not available to you as the deputy director of the institute. As long as you are willing, the Republic of Ika can have full power.
I'll leave it to you."
"Sorry, no."
He Ao shrugged bluntly.
Rudel choked on his words. He Ao's attitude was so decisive that all the inducements he had thought of before were useless.
He thought for a moment, changed his mind, and said slowly, "You also know that the whole world is not safe now. If the management in Xitu is still so loose, problems will easily occur. Look at this incident as an example. We can't
Do you see these things happening again and again?"
As his words fell, He Ao's face showed a slightly hesitant look for the first time.
Seeing that there seemed to be something going on, he further said, "So Yggdrasil needs someone with ability and skill..."
"Feel sorry,"
He Ao shook his head and looked at Rudel in front of him, "But I have no plans to leave the institute. There are also many capable people in your World Tree."
"I'm having a headache right now about this matter. Otherwise, how could I come to you?"
Rudel sighed.
"There are many people who are actually quite good. For example, 'Como' from the Ika Republic is actually quite capable. In this incident, I also discovered many capable people."
He Ao said casually.
"real?"
Rudel was stunned, "Can they change the current situation in World Tree where they don't obey orders and stand on their own hills?"
"Some violent means are needed, but they can become the backbone of the middle, help reform, weaken the power of these hills, and try to make these hills obey orders,"
He Ao said slowly, looking at Jodel, "But you must provide support and use the strongest violence as support for them to promote reforms."
"But how to implement the reform plan? We have no experience,"
Ruo Del thought about it, looked at He Ao in front of him, and whispered, "Otherwise, you come here to be a special consultant. It just so happens that you also know these people you recommend..."
"There's no way I'm leaving the institute."
He Ao shook his head.
"so,"
Ruo Del looked at He Ao's determined look. After thinking for a moment, he quickly said, "You don't have to leave the institute. Aren't you the person in charge of Ruo Dan now? I'll tell Li Cheng that you can hire a consultant here."
', responsible for overall reform matters."
He Ao stared at his face, fell into a brief thought, and then slowly said, "I have no foundation within your World Tree, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out work."
“The Republic of Ika is your foundation,”
Rudel immediately said, "It doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will put the Republic of Ika under the direct control of your 'advisor'. You have already run it here, and it can be used as the basis for reform."
His answer made He Ao pause for a moment, and then He Ao replied thoughtfully,
"If you really want reform, you must have absolute determination. If you let me organize this matter and don't let me appoint people and deal with opponents, and your determination is not strong enough and you have to dictate everything,
This thing definitely can’t be done.”
"I will give you my absolute support."
Rudel said solemnly, "Just like in the Bloody Sun Incident."
During the Bloody Sun Incident, he gave firm support to Ho Ao's most violent methods.
Looking at the firm eyes of the old man in front of him, He Ao was silent for a moment and said, "If the dean agrees, I can give it a try."
"Don't worry, I will convince him."
Rudel took a deep breath.
Then he immediately turned around and walked out of He Ao's room.
-ten minutes later-
Li Cheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at Rudel with a serious face in front of him in confusion, and rubbed his eyebrows, "Are you sure? Have you discussed this with He Ao?"
"Yes,"
Jodel nodded, "I will give him support, and he is willing to give it a try."
Li Cheng gave him a strange look and said, "Okay, then I have no objection."
"Look, I can solve it."
Rudel looked at Li Cheng, smiled proudly, turned around and walked out of the ward.
After reconfirming with He Ao and opening the World Tree internal account for He Ao, he stood in the corridor and walked around happily.
Then he glanced around and excitedly opened the door of a ward in the middle.
A burst of intense dynamic sound effects reached his ears.
In this ward, a white-haired girl wearing a long white dress was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a pure white handle in her hand and frantically operating the 120-inch TV hanging on the wall.
Then she saw Rudel standing excitedly at the door and blinked.
"Ge Ya, you don't know what a great thing I have done."
Rudel sat across from Ge Ya excitedly, and then quickly told what he had just 'convinced' He Ao.
After hearing his narration, Ge Ya was stunned for a moment, pressed pause, and then asked in a low voice, "He sent people to reform and take charge of personnel affairs, and the people appointed were all his people. When the reform is successful, these people will listen to you
Or should you listen to him?"
The smile on Rudel's face froze.
"What was your purpose in going to talk to him before?"
Ge Ya continued to ask in a low voice.
"Poach him here, or take the opportunity to remove his control of the Ika Republic."
Rudel thought.
"Then have you dug it?"
Goya blinked.
"He helps us with things..."
Rudel was silent for a moment, "I haven't poached him, he is still from the institute."
"What about the Republic of Ika?"
Ge Ya asked again in a low voice.
Rudel paused and said, "Give it to him."
Then, he quickly said, "But I am Class B, as long as I am strong enough..."
"You used to be B-level too,"
Ge Ya held the handle and tilted her head, "Do the people in charge below listen to you?"
Jodel choked.
"And there are people from the institute behind him,"
The girl stretched out her hand and counted three fingers, "Three B-levels, and he has a good relationship with Hao Yi,"
She counted on one finger again, "That's four. Jie An may also want to help him then."
She counted on one finger again, "Five."
Then she looked at her fourth finger and looked at Rudel, "When the fight breaks out, I will at most be responsible for your treatment afterwards."
Rudel rubbed his cheeks dejectedly. He always thought he was in control of the rhythm of the conversation, but he didn't expect that it was all in He Ao's rhythm. "I was eaten to death by that kid."
He thought he was a hunter, but turned out to be the prey, and almost all the conditions were proposed by himself.
However, these conditions are exactly the limit of what he can bear, and he has no reason to break the contract, because World Tree really needs He Ao, and as he said to He Ao before, this is beneficial to the world.
Goya picked up the controller again and started playing the game.
Taking a deep breath, Jodel said goodbye to her and left the nursing home.
······
At this moment, in He Ao's room, he was leaning on the bed, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and rubbing his eyebrows.
In fact, he didn't really want to evade Rudel, but if he didn't tighten the conditions, he always felt that Rudel would be a disservice.
Those conditions are actually almost the bottom line that Rudel can accept.
Dong dong dong——
And just as He Ao was thinking, there was a gentle knock on the door.
So many things happened tonight.
He Ao scratched his head, Ruo Del should have left by now.
He walked to the door and opened it.
Ji An's broad body appeared in his field of vision.
Just as he was about to speak, Jie An made a 'shush' gesture near his mouth.
Then he coughed lightly and whispered awkwardly, "Little guy, I owe you a favor."
'Hao Yi' did not hide from Ji An that it was 'He Ao' who went to rescue him. With the situation of Lin Chichi and the puppet maid, everyone thought that 'He Ao' took some angel with him.
Save Jian.
Although the truth is not too different.
After finishing speaking, Ji An took a look around and made sure that no one was around. He immediately turned around and prepared to leave. However, halfway through, he suddenly turned back and whispered to He Ao, "Don't tell everyone that I'm coming."
I've been looking for you."
Then, under He Ao's blank eyes, he stood on tiptoes, looked left and right, and sneaked back to the ward.
He Ao shook his head and closed the door.
Stretching out and continuing to lie on the bed, he took a deep breath and controlled his consciousness to descend from his mind and run along the lines in his body.
In his body, the 'Two Qi of Heaven and Earth' given by the 'Martial Arts Senior' was finally completely absorbed.
The amount of spiritual energy output from the jade pendant has increased a lot.
The flowing spiritual consciousness passed along his body, merging with and dividing from flesh and blood. It seemed to be the same as before, but there seemed to be some subtle changes.
