202: Chapter 201: Winning Hearts is Foremost 202: Chapter 201: Winning Hearts is Foremost Through Xiong Kang’s narration, Lu Zixun also learned about an Insect Clan mber called Poison Liquid.
Its ability was to spread a virus that gradually robbed its enemies of their powers.
Hearing this, Lu Zixun nodded thoughtfully; the incidents occurring at Qingniao University were very likely the work of Poison Liquid.
After all, it was in Chunhua City that Xiong Kang had first encountered Poison Liquid.
“Tough nut to crack.”
Lifting a paw to rub his head, Lu Zixun showed a pained expression.
Just one problem after another, and this Tan Ye’s capacity for causing trouble was genuinely formidable.
At this mont, dical personnel and mbers of STO arrived at Qingniao University, swiftly followed by reporters with caras in hand.
“Whoosh.”
Before the reporters could even use their caras, a burst of Spiritual Energy erupted, and all the electronic devices they carried were damaged.
“Hey hey?
Why can’t my cara take photos, Old Wang check yours.”
“Fog Grass, mine can’t take photos either, what’s going on?”
“At a ti like this…
sigh, forget it, let’s use our phones.”
Soon, these reporters sadly discovered that it wasn’t just their caras that were broken—their phones were too.
Listening to their voices, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but laugh out loud, glancing at Xiong Kang and shaking his head without saying a word.
Xiong Kang’s untraceable thod served to control public opinion; who knew what the reporters would write after snapping photos?
Secondly, it was to prevent damage to STO’s image.
A two-birds-with-one-stone strategy, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but lift a paw to give Xiong Kang a thumbs-up.
Seeing the fully-equipped dical personnel, Lu Zixun also dispersed the ice.
At the sa ti, STO’s mbers were taking charge of the scene to keep unrelated individuals out.
It felt like sothing out of a cri investigation TV show, a scene Lu Zixun had often seen on television.
“Let’s go.”
Looking down and not seeing Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang called out resignedly upon seeing Lu Zixun still standing there stunned.
Coming back to his senses and feeling quite amused, Lu Zixun’s mouth curved into a smile as he jogged a few steps to catch up with Xiong Kang.
“The virus spread by Poison Liquid isn’t sothing that can infect through the air; it must have been introduced through food, water sources, or perhaps wounds?
But I didn’t see any wounds on those students, so that possibility is quite small.”
After discussing with Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang headed towards the direction of the cafeteria.
“I think the virus was introduced through the bottled drinking water.”
Stopping Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun frowned and said, “The students who fainted were holding the sa textbooks.
As far as I know, students of the sa major at Qingniao University typically share a dormitory.
So, I believe the issue lies with the bottled drinking water.”
Xiong Kang hadn’t noticed this detail.
After so thought, he decided to go along with Lu Zixun’s idea; they had to investigate anyway, and this detail wasn’t insignificant.
Learning that Qingniao University’s bottled drinking water was delivered uniformly to each dormitory, they began their investigation together: one man, one cat.
…
“Master, the plague has been spread.”
In a five-star hotel, a hideously ugly woman knelt on one knee before Tan Ye.
“Hmm, keep an eye on STO’s movents, you may leave.”
After being dismissed, the woman left the room.
Gai Yue took two steps forward to approach Tan Ye: “Master, the Orange Cat’s power is growing stronger by the day.
Are we still going to take a hands-off approach?”
Looking down at his phone, Tan Ye spoke without lifting his head: “It’s not about taking a hands-off approach anymore; it’s already too late.”
Hearing this, Gai Yue was sowhat puzzled.
Why was it too late?
It seed like the situation was still controllable.
After a long pause, Tan Ye finally put away his phone and raised his head to look at Gai Yue: “Do you think…
STO and the Crimson Land would hand over a Spirit Beast that has Awakened with the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon bloodline to the Insect Clan?”
Gai Yue’s pupils shrank in disbelief: “The Swallowing Sky Cat Demon?
Hasn’t it disappeared?
How could there still be descendants in this world?”
Tan Ye showed no impatience to Gai Yue’s question and explained: “The legacy of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon isn’t necessarily passed on only through descendants.”
Not quite understanding Tan Ye’s words, Gai Yue was silent for a while, frowning deeply.
Instead of further explanation, Tan Ye changed the subject: “The relationship between the Insect Clan and the Demon Clan isn’t very harmonious, but however it may be, it’s still a hundred tis better than with humans.”
“But…”
Pausing for a mont, Gai Yue pursed her lips: “Humans and the Demon Clan have always had close interactions.
The Swallowing Sky Cat Demon is a presence capable of guarding a region; aren’t we going to nip it in the bud?”
“There’s no need.”
Crossing his hands on the table, Tan Ye looked up with a deep gaze: “As you said, the abilities of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon are indeed powerful, but there’s one thing: no matter how closely the Demon Clan interacts with humans, the Orange Cat has always been raised within human society.”
After pondering for a while, Gai Yue suddenly had a realization: “You an, as long as the Orange Cat and humans fall apart, and we ensure its growth, it can beco a powerful weapon against humans.”
With a slight nod, Tan Ye, who was tallying with one hand on the table, chuckled softly: “The student shows promise.”
With whirling thoughts, Gai Yue instantly understood Tan Ye’s recent strategy: “Lin Siyin is the closest to the Orange Cat.
If Lin Siyin dies at the hands of humans…
no, at the hands of STO, then our big plan will succeed.”
Turning to look out the window, Tan Ye looked towards a certain direction: “Gai Yue, do you know what’s the funniest thing about humans?”
Gai Yue, not understanding why Tan Ye would suddenly ask this, silently shook her head to indicate her ignorance.
“That is…”
With a cold laugh, Tan Ye spoke somberly: “They only believe what they see with their own eyes, regardless of whether it’s true or false.”
After a sigh, Tan Ye returned to the main issue: “You will oversee everything at Qingniao University, and you must leak the situation while guiding public opinion to force STO to act against Lin Siyin.”
In just a few words, Gai Yue suddenly understood what Tan Ye intended, and she couldn’t help feeling a chill.
The corner of Tan Ye’s mouth curved into a cold smile, his eyes revealing an enigmatic look.
After investigating for so long, Tan Ye had discovered an interesting phenonon.
The people of this world seed unaware of the existence of the Insect Clan, complaining instead about the STO that protected them and the excessive benefits it gained.
And public opinion was Tan Ye’s trump card; whatever choice STO made would benefit the Insect Clan.
Either they save Lin Siyin and reveal the existence of the Insect Clan, or they abandon Lin Siyin to protect this secret.
Would a secret concealed for decades be exposed because of one person?
Tan Ye didn’t believe STO would do so, not even if the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon was on the bargaining table.
“Jie jie jie.”
In the room, Tan Ye’s strange and eerie laughter echoed.
