Hot water mixed with tea cup fragnts exploded, spilling onto the coffee table and Fa Zheng’s pants.
"Human massacre plan?" Fa Zheng’s voice was like the ghastly wail of a hellish demon, "What is that?"
I watched him silently. A few seconds later, Fa Zheng snapped back to reality, glanced at the steaming water stains and tea cup fragnts, coughed awkwardly, and then waved his hand. All the water and tea cup fragnts suddenly vanished as if they had never appeared.
Fa Zheng seed tired as he pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaled, and in a sighing tone said, "I’m really sorry, I just said I could handle anything calmly no matter what I heard, and yet... are what you’re saying really true?
"No, I’m not doubting you, it’s just... the Evangelical Institute, Yama, Huang Quan, Tai Sui... King Zhuanlun turned out to be a traitor? Even Ming Zhuo might... Naraku Gospel, and Naraku’s Will... doomsday..."
He muttered to himself, as though slowly organizing the overwhelming information he had just received. After a while, he gradually cald his attitude, and his expression beca composed.
Then, he looked at again.
"There are so details I care about," he said in a normal tone, "In your earlier account, the woman known as No. 7 with the Great Success Rank seems to have an unusual recognition of you, yet you don’t find this surprising. Isn’t she a character active in the post-mortem world? Where have you seen each other before? How did you establish cooperative relations so quickly?
"And the Divine Son beside you, who resembles Zhu Shi, what’s her background? Although you seed deliberately overlooking it, your early activities in the post-mortem world should have centered on finding her, right?"
When conveying critical information to Fa Zheng, I didn’t ntion anything related to the Void Realm, nor did I reveal the truth that both Little Bowl and I are Void Envoys. It was only afterward, during a review, that I realized it was impossible to narrate my post-mortem world adventure without considering the identity of a Void Envoy.
Every major event I experienced in the post-mortem world was accompanied by Little Bowl and No. 7. Although their presence could conceivably be ignored to convey only the crucial information, Fa Zheng, as the recipient, would obviously find such glaring blanks hard to overlook, inevitably leading to so skeptical thoughts.
So, how to gloss over matters related to the Void Realm, avoiding exposure of the Void Envoy identity... I habitually thought in this direction but soon felt weary.
Is there really a need to gloss over?
The Void Realm has already shattered, Xu Gou, who stood with Taoyuan Village as the enemy, already knows I am No. 3. In the past, during the attack on the Luoshan Branch Base, I felt it was beneath my status to sneak into a mysterious organization as an envoy while being the Luoshan Supre Great Impermanence.
While newly encountering the Void Realm and being not yet strong enough, it was suitable, but at this stage continuing to act so is untily. I should have graduated from that role-playing activity long ago.
I looked at Little Bowl beside . Though we exchanged no words, I feel she could imagine my thoughts at the mont. She nodded slightly in understanding.
Fa Zheng’s gaze shifted between Little Bowl and . I turned my head and looked at Fa Zheng again, saying, "That woman referred to as ’No. 7’ is actually a Void Envoy."
"...Oh? So..." Fa Zheng seed not to grasp it yet.
Then I continued, "I am also a Void Envoy."
Upon hearing this, Fa Zheng started coughing hard. Fortunately, his mouth wasn’t filled with tea. Otherwise, it seed he would have sprayed it on Little Bowl and .
"Wha... what!?" he shouted, "What did you say!?"
I pointed to myself, deliberately serious, saying, "Void Envoy, the third, Zhuang Cheng, pleased to et you."
Little Bowl mimicked , with a convincing look, added a word, "By the way, I am also a Void Envoy, ranked second."
"You... your rankings are higher than Xuanming’s?"
Fa Zheng stared at , then at Little Bowl, pointing at her, like he couldn’t quite process the ssy information in his mind, saying, "She’s second?"
"That’s right," I said.
Using the words just spoken as an opening, I told Fa Zheng everything about the Void Realm.
At this stage, the only one who can be confird to stand against the human massacre plan of the Evangelical Institute from within the Luo Mountain is Fa Zheng. Since I’ve chosen to oppose the Evangelical Institute, Fa Zheng is soone I must win over. The ally relationship that hasn’t been valued until now needs to be re-evaluated and defined as a crucial partnership. Given this, there should be no unnecessary concealnt of our backgrounds, or else it will lead to unnecessary suspicion.
As for the identity of the Void Envoy, it doesn’t matter at all if it’s exposed. Nominally, the Void Realm is Luo Mountain’s close threat, but all of it resulted from Xuanming teaming up with Xu Gou to attack two Luo Mountain Branch Bases, seize the Divine Seal Fragnt, and even pin the murder of Divine Light on himself. Xuanming himself was a notorious figure who attacked and killed Luo Mountain Great Impermanence before all this, and most of the notorious reputation of the Void Envoy was brought by Xuanming.
Hmm... but thinking carefully, I seem to have a connection with what Xuanming did. I have also attacked the Luo Mountain Branch Base and Luo Mountain Great Impermanence...
However, the forr was already annihilated by Xu Gou when Liu Shuying and I went there; what we encountered was a product Xu Gou cut from history to the present, led by a traitor who secretly defected to Taoyuan Village; the latter I have challenged Ming Zhuo openly in the na of counterattack and even accepted diation, so it’s probably not an issue.
To get back on track, most Void Envoys are more like individuals forcibly dragged in by the Master of Divine Seal rather than subordinates of their own will, and I think apart from No. 7, no other Void Envoy genuinely wants to work for the Master of Divine Seal. After cutting Xuanming and Xu Gou out, revealing our identities to Fa Zheng and Little Bowl doesn’t matter.
Of course, this can be done confidently only because I possess the power of Impermanence. Even if the listeners harbor malice and dark intentions, I’m confident enough to handle it. If it were soone weaker who couldn’t control their own life, they’d have to reconsider. Without the confidence to control their own fate, they shouldn’t spread anything that could spark envy. Weichi is a good example of this.
As for Little Bowl, it’s a situation where their life is basically entrusted to .
"I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect..." Fa Zheng muttered incredulously, repeatedly observing and Little Bowl before asking, "By the way... why are you only saying this now? Judging from the information you’ve provided, it wouldn’t matter if you’d told us all the truth since you beca Impermanence. We couldn’t do anything to you, so wouldn’t hiding this be overkill?"
After thinking, I chose to answer honestly, "Because that would give off the feeling of being a mber of a mysterious organization."
"Mysterious..."
Fa Zheng was silent for a while, then looked at Little Bowl.
Little Bowl offered an apologetic smile.
"Sigh..." Fa Zheng sighed deeply, "Fine, let’s not talk about this for now... I didn’t expect Divine Light to also be a Void Envoy, No. 6... Hmm, is this number not based on strength order but joining order?"
"And the one who killed him wasn’t Xuanming, but the Master of Divine Seal... There’s the Evangelical Institute, the Master of Divine Seal, and Doomsday, a real ss. What should be done..."
He seed to be racking his brain for a solution, seeing this, I took out the "Du Shuo Mountain" technical docuntation and placed it on the coffee table.
"This is the docuntation I ntioned earlier, you take it first," I said.
Additionally, I have morized all the contents of the technical docuntation in my mind. I can’t understand it by looking, but if it’s just morizing, it’s fine, like taking a photo with a cara.
Fa Zheng displayed a particularly serious expression, gathered all the technical docuntation, and said, "Thank you very much, I will promptly hand this over to Weichi and urge him to expedite his research and developnt."
"I’m sure you understand well that rely developing the teleportation array leading to the post-mortem world isn’t of much use. The most important thing is to organize forces to advance into the post-mortem world, completely defeat the Evangelical Institute... Specifically, defeat the Impermanences, including the Evangelical Institute Master Yama, to stop them from executing the human massacre plan," I said, "And for that, we must have sufficient forces. You and I alone aren’t enough; we need more people."
"Although it’s odd for to say, objectively analyzing, the human massacre plan is indeed a concise, highly efficient, and extrely reasonable way to save the world. Zhuang Cheng, are you sure you’re ready to stand against this plan?" Fa Zheng looked at with profound eyes.
He wasn’t speaking in favor of the human massacre plan, but wanting to confirm my stance. I’m not soone with highly moral qualities; this he must know well.
"Of course," I said.
"...I see."
Unexpectedly, he seed to easily believe .
"Then, I’ll answer your question. Regarding advancing into the post-mortem world, I’ll call Jian Feixian and rope in Gua Tianshi to join us," Fa Zheng said.
"Are these two people trustworthy?" I asked.
