When intelligent creatures leave the world of their infancy, they are often greeted by endless malice.
The world is like this, and so are individuals.
The domesticated little rabbit has just entered the wild beast area of the law of the jungle. Professionals born in a normal "peaceful world" have just entered this malicious gray world, and it is almost inevitable to suffer losses.
As long as you don't die, you will get used to it one day.
The road is safe, but somewhat different.
But he only felt comfortable and relaxed.
You don't need to care about the gaze of the "monitor", you don't need to care about the negative impact that the "recorder" may leave behind, you can sleep if you want, play if you want, kill if you want...
"Oops, it's broken again."
In the small alley, blood kept flowing outside.
This is not fishing for law enforcement, and he is not that boring. He just revealed his wealth when buying goods, and was discovered by the local gang that he was a loner or a first-order... Lu Ping'an made the same mistake, but it was a mistake
The result seems to be within one's ability.
After releasing his own Xiao An, feeding them and cleaning the place, Lu Ping An went directly to do his work.
Since the "road" back was very convenient, Lu Ping'an secretly went back once, and then called Maomao to ask about the situation.
"Meow! Someone was sweeping around with strange things, and was taking people away to ask some strange questions! I heard that someone from the next team was taken away and didn't come back!"
The expected guess was confirmed. In a sense, this task was Xia Qin's protection for herself.
No matter what their reconnaissance and internal review methods are, whether they can really catch the "conspirator", Lu Ping An, who has many secrets, may still be "caught" in the internal review.
"Tsk, I owe another favor..."
And this is not the real core of this task.
When Lu Ping'an has had enough fun... and has clarified the rules of this world in the shadows, it's time to get started with the work that needs to be done.
With the police badge and letter in hand, Lu Ping'an went directly to "Big Crow" Iron Daddy, one of the most effective talkers in this secret realm. He also had two families under his control that were inextricably linked to "GT (Brother Tu)".
of small companies.
"...Is that so? No wonder there has been so much trouble recently."
Just looking at his appearance, Father Iron has a kind face, no obvious features on his body, a floral jacket, cotton trousers, and a walking stick. He looks like an ordinary retired old man.
It's just that the first floor below the shop where he is located is the largest "trading market" in the area, making this fraudulent appearance meaningless.
"Well, it's been confirmed that they are carrying out a 'history re-enactment'. This is no longer a matter for the SWAT team. Once they succeed, the entire ancient city will be dragged into it."
The information Lu Ping'an held in his hand was the information and plans produced by professionals from the special service team, which was much more accurate than his own.
From Lu Ping'an's point of view, the other party's "reenactment" was just to find out clues about Big Cat and himself... But in this way, it was obviously a bit of an effort to scare the snake and mobilize the public.
"Historical reenactment" is originally a true reproduction of that period of history, and it is real in that small world...
"Our people speculate that they intend to directly make the secret realm go out of control, break the distance between reality and illusion, and 're-enact' that being's ascension to the gods..."
Father Tie's hand holding the information shook. Even though he was well-informed, he had rarely seen such a heartless cultist.
If Big Cat's ritual had not been blocked by Lu Ping'an when it was most vulnerable at the beginning, then the original "sacrifice" would have become the power of the ritual, constantly expanding the scale and efficiency of the ascension ceremony.
If the entire city is really involved in the ceremony, the entire city's population may be reduced by half in a few hours. After a while, it will be reduced by half again, and the final death toll may exceed one million.
These dead people...or sacrifices, will become the fuel for His ascension to God, and also become a part of His evolution.
"... Once they succeed in 're-enacting' it, no matter what they plan to do with this ritual of ascending to the gods, we will never accept it." Lu Ping'an was very calm. He was talking about the special service team and the aliens.
The attitude of the administration.
Big Cat himself has verified this "possibility", and the probability is quite high.
"The disguised ritual of ascension to the gods is also a ritual of ascension to the gods. It may directly increase the power by a certain amount, and may give it a certain degree of divinity. It is a 'rule characteristic', which will make subsequent advancements logical. Well,
Just like you." The big cat's words were a little subtle.
"You have also seen that the things in the historical secret realm are actually real, but they are limited to the secret realm... I know several ways to break the restrictions of the secret realm and make it lose control again and become a reality.
"
In a sense, this ritual of ascension to the gods itself is Big Cat's greatest and most valuable legacy, and those "believers" have been staring at it from the beginning.
"But the biggest possibility is that the ritual goes out of control and creates a divine monster with millions of vitality... The ancient city is definitely gone, and maybe the surrounding cities are also destroyed. At least 90% of this will be the result.
Those boys at the sixth and seventh levels have no idea what the tenth level means."
Now, it is no longer a matter of Lu Ping An or even a certain department. This is a major crisis involving the entire city, and the Alien Management Bureau, which is aware of all this, has let go of all its hands and feet.
First of all, we need to communicate with civil forces and organizations to turn these guys into street rats.
"...Some of them have created six-headed and third-level new humans. The survival time of these monsters is quite limited. They require a lot of food and are inconvenient to transport. The special service team hopes that you can pay more attention to them."
There is no expectation that they can do anything, and the average level of these local "gangs" is also low. There is nothing you can do with those fifth- and sixth-level River Crossing Dragons, but you can use your own methods to find out information and put pressure on lurkers.
Iron Daddy's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking too.
He knew that the young man in front of him was trying to save face for himself. This "new human" monster had a limited lifespan, so it must be made from local materials, and making these things required warehouses, equipment, and consumables.
And where is the best gray biological laboratory and supply chain in the entire ancient city? It’s right here!
From what Father Iron knows about his group of bastards, he must have made this thing here, and maybe the cultists live on this street (Lu Pingping walked around, no...).
The special service team and the special administration bureau are plotting to expose the seriousness of the incident. If you don't cooperate? Let's go to hell together.
From the perspective of Lu Ping An, letting himself, a "special person", convey this message is an expression of goodwill in itself.
In fact, after confirming that the cultists are looking for themselves by repeating history, Lu Ping'an can guard against the SWAT team... This is not neurosis, it is just a cruel deduction in a real environment.
"Never compromise with terrorists" sounds cool to say, but when the situation worsens to the extreme, will the Bureau of Foreign Affairs still "never compromise"?
At that time, I might accidentally put it in a gift box and give it away... and then be counted as a battle damage or honorary sacrifice.
But now, when the cultists have revealed that their appetite is not limited to one person but to the "ritual of ascending to the gods", there is absolutely no possibility of compromise between the two parties.
Revealing this fact to Lu Ping'an is in itself a kind act to reassure him and prevent him from taking drastic actions.
Xia Qin or the people behind her are quite mature in their thinking in some aspects.
Of course, even with this "notice", Lu Ping An will still not relax its vigilance... Trust requires time and experience to accumulate, and the most lacking thing currently is time.
After declining the invitation to have lunch together, Lu Pingan also left directly.
He did not leave the secret realm because this "black market" had the growth resources he needed most, and "leeks" also had high-quality pollution reading materials.
He is not far from his goal, and the "silver buff" must be used to the extreme.

Scholars are one of the very few professions in the first level that have no combat effectiveness at all.
Its two professional skills are the core auxiliary abilities of many professions.
Read "Forbidden Knowledge" and output "Pollution Curse". One is internal improvement and the other is external application.
But practicing it is often extremely troublesome or even slow.

This time, Lu Ping An's promotion came relatively suddenly, but it was natural.
[Congratulations to the host for the breakthrough, the physical strength has decreased slightly, the reflexes have decreased slightly, and the spirit has increased slightly]
And this reminder came twice, and Lu Ping'an also waited for what he had been looking forward to.
[Congratulations to the host, after hard training, his spirit has broken through the black iron middle! 】
