"The salvage work in the sea area where the incident occurred is proceeding in an orderly manner, but according to the situation at the scene, the damage is very serious."
"The situation on the Internet is more complicated, but overall it is expected to calm down a bit."
"The target is indeed missing, but based on the energy traces at the scene, there is a high probability that it has entered the open sea. As for the specific whereabouts, continuous observation is needed."
"Our losses are very small. Therefore, there are some related skepticism in the foreign media. We think this needs to be handled with caution."
…
In the Secret Service building, a clerk was seriously reporting relevant information.
After he finished his report, Xu Qui waved his hand and asked him to leave. When the door of the office was closed tightly, under the bright light, only the two of them were left again.
Xu Qui said nothing, and Shi Shengcun was equally silent.
The clock on the wall pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark.
Several hours have passed since the end of the "encirclement and suppression" campaign, but the world has not yet truly recovered from the outcome.
The result that was originally thought to be certain has undergone such a big reversal, which is really unexpected by everyone.
And when the escaped monks made the relevant videos public, the entire Internet world fell into an unspeakable silence.
Those angry voices suddenly disappeared, and instead filled with boundless worry and fear.
The reality is not a fairy tale after all. The warriors representing justice did not defeat the "evil dragon", but were devoured by the "evil dragon".
It's really a sad story.
After a brief moment of silence, people had to face the cruel fact that Cheng Lin was most likely still alive, and it seemed that no one could stop him.
So where will he go next?
What will you do?
This is an extremely serious issue.
"What should we do next?" After holding it in for a while, Xu Qui finally couldn't help but ask.
Faced with his inquiry, Shi Shengcun did not answer immediately. He pinched his eyebrows first, and then whispered:
"His strength exceeded my expectations."
Xu Gu could hear the seriousness in his tone, so he smiled bitterly and said:
"This is beyond everyone's expectations. Who could have imagined... thought... that it would be such a result?"
After a pause, he said: "The question now is how we will respond next."
"Response?" Shi Shengcun repeated the word, and then said calmly, "This is not a very complicated matter. The salvage in the sea area is proceeding normally, and the remains are returned to their original places. After the events on the Internet in the past few days, everyone thinks that
He should be tired by now and should slowly calm down...
In this incident, not many people escaped, and our losses were the smallest among them. This will definitely trigger some shady arguments... As it should.
Relevant processing will be handed over to relevant departments, professional matters will be left to professional people, and other matters will be handled as usual."
"That's it?" Xu Gu was slightly startled and asked.
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Shi Shengcun looked at him.
"Then...about Cheng Lin..."
"This time, countries seem to have suffered heavy injuries, but except for a very few, the rest are not injured. The wanted orders will definitely continue, but countries will inevitably focus their main energy on defense. After all, no one is
We know where he will go next. If nothing else, this deterrent will last for a while and then slowly fade away," Shi Shengcun said.
Xu Gu became even more surprised when he heard this. He frowned and said:
"You don't seem very worried."
"What are you worried about?" Shi Shengcun looked at him, then sighed softly and said, "Our people were almost unharmed this time. Do you think this is really because Li Yang and the others evacuated quickly enough?"
"You mean...he let them come back on purpose?"
"What else?" Shi Shengcun looked at him seriously and said, "Actually... you should be able to see that he is not bad."
There was silence for a moment.
Shi Shengcun suddenly stood up, took out a folded piece of letter paper from the drawer, handed it to Xu Qui, and then said:
"The matter is over, it's time for me to go back. Don't worry, the worst period has passed. Don't be too nervous. Oh, by the way, please hand this over. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time."
Xu Gu also stood up, then took it blankly and asked, "What is this?"
"Resignation letter," the latter replied calmly, and then smiled at Xu Ku's astonished eyes, "Due to the limitations of the situation before, I couldn't do without him. Now that the matter has come to an end, it's time to resign.
I have already communicated with the minister. My position will be taken over by Li Yang. Well, Vladimir is also dead. After this battle, there is no longer any force that can threaten us in the world of spiritual practice. At this time, it will be handed over to him.
The load is also lighter.
Okay, you’re busy, I’ll leave first.”
After speaking, he opened the door and walked out slowly without waiting for Xu Qu's response. He nodded to everyone he met along the way, and then walked straight out of the building.
After leaving the solemn and cramped building, he raised his head and glanced at the gray night sky in the capital with invisible stars. His eyes suddenly seemed to have traveled countless distances and landed directly on the endless South China Sea.
"I really envy you..." He murmured to himself in an imperceptible voice.
…
…
at the same time.
On the sea thousands of miles away from the capital.
At an ordinary spatial anchor point in such a vast ocean, the spiritual world is hidden here.
Within the spiritual world.
In the sky, which is getting closer and closer to reality, a bright, round moon hangs high in the sky, casting a cool light.
The huge World Tree supports this world. At night, the breeze blowing from nowhere ruffles the nameless lake, and the surface of the lake, which is obviously lower than the water level, suddenly wrinkles.
The elegant street lights surrounding the lake were already on, and Xirui was sitting paralyzed by the lake, staring at the full moon in the sky in a daze.
Occasionally, I glanced sideways at the brightly lit villa, recalling the winged human being in my mind, and felt that my "spiritual air supremacy" was seriously threatened.
…
Inside the villa.
The huge chandelier illuminates the entire first-floor hall.
Cheng Lin was wearing pajamas, leaning on a huge pillow, and was watching a comedy movie boredly.
The screen covering the entire wall stretched the actor's head so huge that it looked a bit scary.
In the open kitchen of the villa, elves were busy under the leadership of Ellu.
They were uniformly dressed, all wearing lace aprons, and they were chattering lively.
"Cheng Lin, come here, try my new work, open your mouth!"
Suddenly, Cheng Lin, who was watching a movie boredly, felt a soft figure walking over.
Ellu sat barefoot and kneeling on the plush floor stall, holding a plate with colorful and cool ice cream in her left hand. She held a spoon in her right hand, cut out a spoonful, and handed it to his mouth.
Cheng Lin opened his mouth lazily and mechanically, and then enjoyed the attentive service of the great elf priest.
First he chewed it with satisfaction, and then sighed softly, feeling deeply what the decay of capitalism is.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs, so he turned his head and glanced, and then his eyes lit up slightly.
I saw a small figure slowly walking down the spiral staircase on the right.
That's Cao Wei.
She had already released her dragon form and had just finished bathing. Her dark hair hung wetly on the back of her head, making the two horns on her head stand out.
A dusty face has been washed with hot water, dyed red, and still emitting steam.
Because there were no clothes suitable for her body shape in the villa, she temporarily wore Nuwa's silk nightgown, which was loose and exposed half of her white shoulders, and she had a pair of slippers on her feet.
