Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Zhang Lisheng talked to the Lavin family’s children, ti passed slowly. After the young man finished eating the sumptuous sandwiches made by his mother, the crowds taking refuge on the grass on both sides of the street began to gradually decrease as they beca exhausted.
No matter what, society was a group of people who would always blindly follow without asking. Just like how they inexplicable succumbed to the deep fear in their hearts after the earthquake and gathered together with the others to seek refuge outdoor aninglessly. And after the lights in their neighbors’ houses around them began to lit up again, everyone soon recovered their courage and reason and went back ho faster respectively.
“Mr. Lavin, Madam Lili, I should go back now too.” When Alison saw that the entire street had been lit up into a long line of light and the lawn had beco scarce, Alison took the initiative to wave goodbye to the Lavin family and Zhang Lisheng. “Bye, Lisheng. Bye Lili, Michelle...”
“Are you going back now, Alison? Oh girl, thank you for staying with today. If you feel lonely this Christmas, you’re welco to spend it with our family. Since Lisheng is back now anyway, we plan to depart to the new New York C tomorrow to go see my parents. They’re very interesting and hospitable people so they’ll definitely welco you and make your holiday a very pleasant one.” Lili hugged the black girl and invited her.
“Thank you, madam, but I’m afraid I’d have to let you down. We’re not allowed to leave New Washington City at Christmas.” Alison replied after a mont of hesitation and said with a regrettable expression.
“What a sha. I’ll bring you a gift then, bye Alison.” Lili also had a regrettable look on her face. In the end, she kissed Alison’s cheek and watched the female officer walk to the parking lot.
Afterward, she turned to look at her son who was looking upwards at the sky and said, “Baby, I’m not trying to interfere in your private life but what a good girl she is! She’s young, beautiful, sexy and she has an official status that is very attractive to the opposite sex...”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and said with a curl of his lips when he heard his mother’s words getting more ridiculous, “Haven’t I told you before? Alison is from the Departnt of Defense Intelligence Service, she’s not a simple character and I don’t want to be too close to her.”
“Oh baby, so what if she happened to be a forr intelligence officer of the Departnt of Defense? Don’t forget that your ex-girlfriend was even the most famous socialite in Arica and didn’t you get along very well with her too...” Lili blurted out. However, she imdiately realized that she had said sothing that she should not, so she imdiately halted halfway. Even so, she still saw her eldest son’s face turned gloomy and bitter right away.
“I’m sorry baby, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ntioned your bad mory.” The mother imdiately held the young man in guilt and whispered.
If it was sobody else who got carried away and blurted out such nonsense, Zhang Lisheng would have long burst out in rage and even punished the other party harshly, if not, killed them instead. However, he could only hold it back since it was Lili and even consoled her in a wry smile, “How can I possibly bla you, mom? It’s who is wrong. If I didn’t do that with Trish at that ti... Sigh, anyway, it’s all my fault.”
“Trish? You an Trish Steg, the best friend of your ex-girlfriend Tina? Don’t tell that it’s because you had an affair with her and caused your relationship to go awry, Lisheng? She used to be a new political star of the New Washington A and she’s also very charming...” When the second son of the Lavin family heard this concealed secret by chance, his eyes went wide as he asked in interest.
“Randy, do you think it’s suitable to use the word ‘affair’ to describe your brother?” Zhang Lisheng stiffened and stared at Randy fiercely. However, he saw the second son of the Lavin family still continued to be imrsed in his thought as he blabbered on enviously. “Even though you only had two won, both of them are of the best quality! An ordinary man would feel lucky just from shaking their hands alone... Oh wait, who knows, maybe you didn’t only date these two girls but more. Ah, I used to think that you were obsessed with scientific research and lived a life of an ascetic monk but I can’t believe that your life is actually so colorful...”
The young man was chocked by Randy’s boorish manner. He was so pissed that he angrily waved his fist forward with his eyes glaring, startling the Lavin family’s second son by alarm, and with that, he leaped back right away. After taking a deep breath, he finally said, “Randy, I must be crazy for discussing a sense of honor and rhetoric with you.”
Then, he forced a smile at his stepfather and mother as he said, “Uncle Lavin, mom, we’re going to the new New York City tomorrow to see grandfather who has wanted to see since a few years back but would always sohow be occupied right? In that case, I’ll go to bed first, goodnight!”
He then quickly strode on the concrete road in the middle of the lawn and walked to the wooden house not far away.
A minute or two later, the young man returned to his room in his mother’s house and sat on the bed with a look of nostalgia for a long ti. Sighing, he shook his head vigorously and untied the scaly belt around his waist in the darkness before unfolding it slowly.
He habitually rubbed the natural texture on the surface of leather that resembled a miniature map and closed his eyes. Appearing to be slightly out of practice, he focused all his attention on sensing the wizard gu through his thought. However, a sudden sting of pain erupted on his palm and caused him to pull his hand back abruptly as he opened his eyes again.
“Is this the inherent deterrence of a monster that can devour the planet?” Zhang Lisheng shook his palm and murmured, “Even a god would instinctively tremble. Such power is really surprising. Taotie, Taotie, I hope that the bodies of those Taoists that are filled with supernatural energy, and the Taoist’s immortal mountain paradise can allow you to grow a bit for a few weeks later so that you can slowly beco my ultimate weapon of blackmailing and deterrence to the enemy...”
As he was speaking, the young man had a slightly weird smile on his face in the darkness. At the sa ti, in a basent in a skyscraper with a bald eagle badge hanging on top of it at the edge of the New Washington A city, seven to eight people with a different expression, complexion, and temperants were gathered in a secret room while having a secret discussion. Alison pushed open the door and walked straight directly to the only empty sofa on the northern side to sit down without a word.
“... a religious organization called Wuli has controlled the poor communities in more than ten of the biggest cities in the old territories of the States on Earth. It has at least ten million believers and there’s a tendency for it to expand abroad. The god they worship is a monster with a human upper body and a python lower body with scales all over its body. Their religious symbol is ‘L,” a middle-aged man who was speaking in the basent was ordinary in terms of clothing, body, and appearance. As though he did not notice anybody walking in, he continued, “All of its characteristics are similar to the indigenous belief in the Shrimp World No. 2. And since more and more Wizard Li people appeared on Earth, so of Wuli believers began to claim that the god they’re believing in is the only true god in the many ‘worlds’. From the preliminary judgnt, this must be a spiritual invasion of the foreign world.”
“Wizard Li, Wuli, the pronunciation is indeed almost similar. I can acknowledge your so-called spiritual invasion.” A thin yellow-skinned woman opposite the middle-aged man frowned and said, “I can also understand the feelings of the refugees needing support from religion during the war. But Radar, we’re not in the barbaric era before BC now. I don’t understand why tens of millions of federal citizens would suddenly abandon their faith in God and converted to what you call as the Wuli religion. A combined body of a human and python is clearly a sign of cult belief. From a psychological point of view, it should be easy to induce the subconscious rejection of ordinary humans. If there’s no temptation of substantial interests, it’s very hard for to imagine that this sect can actually spread so fast as you claid.”
“You’ve just ntioned the key issue, Cara.” The middle-aged man, nicknad ‘Radar’, sighed. “The biggest reason for the rapid spread of this Wuli religion is because the priests of this sect have supernatural power control over rivers, soils, and creating food. They can et the basic survival needs of the believers. ”
“W-What did you say? How is that possible? Isn’t it impossible for the gods from the foreign world to grant any power to the priests on Earth?”
“Creating food? How? Radar, have you gone crazy?”
“Buddy, this is not a trivial matter that you fabricate...”
Radar’s words caused the entire basent to burst into an uproar. It was only until a bald burly black man with a large face and thick lips stood up from the main seat expressionless and patted his hands on the sofa armrest with force several tis that the atmosphere quieted down again.
“Radar, do you have clear evidence to support what you said just now? Or is it possible that these priests from the Wuli sect were rely good in so magic or illusion techniques and use these deceiving tactics to preach?” The burly man looked around. When he saw that nobody was talking anymore, he turned his gaze to the middle-aged man who spoke just now and asked in a deep voice.
“Boss, the information I just submitted to you contains a video of the Wuli sect performing religious rituals. It was taken by myself without any editing. You can judge for yourself whether it is magic or divine power.”
“Really?” The black man nodded and picked up a docunt from a black tal table beside him. He browsed through a few pages very fast and suddenly asked, “Radar, are you sure that the first place where the Wuli sect appeared on Earth is on New York and it’s 11 months ago?”
“I’m certain about the place but the ti may vary by a month or two.” The middle-aged man imdiately answered cautiously.
The burly black man nodded again. He put down the docunts in his hand and looked up at Alison. “Black Pearl, I rember your current target, Dr. Gray. Who set off from the New York City on Earth to secretly infiltrate into the Noah World using the identity of a construction company engineer right?”
“Yes, boss.” Alison replied succinctly.
“Another perfect match in ti and place? Every ti a major event involving the Shrimp World No. 2 happens, this coincidence will always happen. Then again, it may no longer be a coincidence when there are just too many coincidences...”
“According to Radar’s report, the situation on Earth may be out of control already. Boss, if you decide that Dr. Gray is so suspicious, I suggest that you take the necessary action imdiately!” Upon seeing a frown started to appear on the burly black man’s iron-like face, an Asian girl wearing a bright red short skirt and a crop top revealing half of her snow-white breasts sitting on his lower right hand contemplated for a mont and opened her mouth to make a proposal that was extrely dangerous, sothing that she was not aware of.
