With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 186 Taking Retreat as Advance and Looting

As the greatest enemy of all creatures in this world, the Outer Gods are undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

But to say that an "angel" who is almost at the same level as the old days ruler was once the minion of the Outer God, this is somewhat exaggerated.

Doesn't this mean that those old rulers standing on the top of the night world are just "minions" to the Outer Gods?

Lao Qin couldn't help but said immediately:

"Fatty Zhu, you still make such a joke at this time, what are you pretending to be in your head?"

Zhu Biao rolled his eyes angrily, turned his gaze to Long Zheng on the opposite side, and motioned for him to explain.

Under Lao Qin's unbelievable gaze, Long Zheng sighed quietly, nodded and said:
"Zhu Biao is not joking, the 'angel' is indeed the minion of the Outer God."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden gasp in the meeting room.

hiss.
Compared with Zhu Biao, who is not serious, Long Zheng's words are undoubtedly more reliable.

Since even he agrees with Zhu Biao's statement, then those "angels" who in their view are enemies of the old rulers are really the minions of those outer gods.

Long Zheng continued:

"I don't know if you have thought about it. Ever since we heard about the existence of 'angels', we have been told that they are on the opposite side of the Old Ones, but what is the reason for the opposition between the two?"

Including Lao Qin, all the senior officials of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs fell silent.

It's not that they couldn't think of the so-called "reason", on the contrary, combined with the statement that "angels are the minions of the outer gods", one can easily get an answer - the reason why the "angels" are enemies of the old rulers is because of the old rulers. Those who intend to resist the Outer God.

Helping the master deal with those rebels, isn't that what minions should do?
After coming to this conclusion, the high-level officials of the Jingdu Bureau of Strange Affairs began to look at Shen Xiu with deep eyes.

Since the "angel" has such a relationship with the Outer God, what is the relationship between Shen Xiu and the Outer God as a friend of the "Angel"?
Taking a step back, if Shen Xiu has nothing to do with the Outer God, what is the purpose of that "angel" making friends with Shen Xiu?
It's impossible for one person and one angel to hit it off right away, obviously there is an ulterior secret in it.

If the "Angel" intends to control Shen Xiu, and then gradually infiltrate this world to achieve the goal of allowing the Outer Gods to descend into reality, then compared to those old sects, Shen Xiu and the "Angel" seem to be the biggest enemies right now.

Looking further, that "wall" is now no longer strong, and it is very likely to be destroyed.

If Shen Xiu and the "angel" make some small moves in the night world at this time, it is very likely that the outer god will break through the "wall" and come to reality in the next second.

At that time, not to mention relying on them to fight against weird organizations, even all the old sects, including the old gods they believe in, cannot be the opponents of those outer gods.

That being the case, the "transaction" should not go on.

Lao Qin glanced at the silent Shen Xiu, and exchanged glances with other senior executives around him.

It didn't take a moment for everyone to reach a consensus in silence—to cancel the transaction!
cough.
Old Qin coughed lightly. As the oldest and most senior deputy director in the room, it was most appropriate for him to cancel this "deal".

All eyes are focused on the past.

Old Qin ignored Zhu Biao and Long Zheng who were looking at him questioningly, looked straight at Shen Xiu, and said:
"Boy, repairing the 'Wall' this time is a matter of great importance. There can be no mistakes. Before, we old guys didn't know that 'Angel' had such a relationship with that foreign god, but now, 'Deal' I believe you understand the reason. But don’t worry, I will give you an answer on behalf of the Bureau regarding the three conditions promised by Deputy Director Zhu, and we still agree.”

Shen Xiu frowned and was about to speak.

No, Zhu Biao already put his hands on the table, stood up, and said in a deep voice:
"'Deal' continues and cannot be canceled!"

"no!"

As soon as the words fell, Lao Qin also vetoed without hesitation.

In the opinion of this old man from the Bureau of Strange Affairs, since Shen Xiu might be used by the minions of the Outer Gods and become the culprit for breaking that "wall", then this possibility must be nip in the bud.

Even if the possibility of this happening is extremely low!
Lao Qin had Lao Qin's ideas, and Zhu Biao also had his own considerations, and they still refused to give in:
"The 'deal' must go on without a moment's delay."

Lao Qin, who always showed a smiling face, rarely turned dark at this moment.

He stared gloomyly at Zhu Biao who was confronting him, and said without emotion:
"Fan Bureau is not here. I have the final say in the bureau. This 'transaction' is void. As for the repair of that 'wall', we will discuss it later."

After speaking, Lao Qin stood up, scanned the crowd, left the word "the meeting was over", and planned to leave.

But before he got out of his seat, Long Zheng said:

"Deputy Director Qin, I think Zhu Biao is right, the 'deal' cannot be cancelled, it must be started as soon as possible."

Old Qin paused, turned around slowly, frowned tightly, stared closely at this "legendary pillar" he had cultivated by himself, and said coldly after watching for a long time:

"why?"

Today's foreign affairs bureau is dominated by young people, but it doesn't mean that old guys like them have no right to speak.

Just because you don't speak up normally doesn't mean you don't have the right to speak up.

This matter is related to the safety of the entire world. Even if the two "outer dragons and inner Zhu" are added together, as the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, it is impossible for them to draw all human beings to gamble.

The reason why Lao Qin asked Long Zheng why was not because he wanted to hear him explain why the "deal" could not be cancelled, but because he was a little disappointed with Long Zheng, disappointed that he still couldn't see the situation clearly at this juncture.

Long Zheng naturally knew what this old man who had been kind to him was thinking, but as the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, he also had his own reasons to let the "deal" continue.

Long Zheng explained with a blank face:
"The Old Ones have already learned about the 'wall' and have taken action. If it is not repaired in time, perhaps today will be the last day of our lives."

Hearing this, the meeting room suddenly exploded.

Even Lao Qin's body froze, and his face became ugly.

If people from the Old Days Sect heard of such a good opportunity, they would definitely not miss it.

Just like what Long Zheng said, if the "wall" is not repaired as soon as possible, then those old rulers will be able to sink the whole world without waiting for the arrival of the outer gods.

Compared to those lunatics who will definitely break the "wall", Shen Xiu who may be used by the minions of the Outer Gods is undoubtedly the best choice at this time.

But even though he said so, Lao Qin still had a lot of worries after all. After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Can't you stop them?"

Long Zheng shook his head:

"No."

After getting a negative answer, Lao Qin was not too disappointed.

After all, he himself knew that either the news of this incident would not get out at all, or if it got out, it would definitely be obtained by all the old sects.

At that time, the Bureau of Strange Events was no longer facing just one or two enemies.

There is no way that the Foreign Affairs Bureau can deal with dozens or hundreds of people from the Old Sect, even if the Foreign Affairs Bureau is the largest and most powerful mysterious resistance organization in the world.

If the enemy cannot be stopped, the only way left is to continue to "trade".

Old Qin turned his head slowly and stared at Shen Xiu, as if he wanted to see if he was a "human traitor" and whether he was being used by the minions of the foreign gods.

After a while, Lao Qin lowered his eyelids and proposed a condition:
"Well, the 'deal' can continue, but we must send someone to follow."

Since Shen Xiu might be used to tamper with the "wall", sending someone to accompany her is the only way to prevent this from happening.

Even if the chance of success of this method is not high in front of the "angel", it must be done.

Long Zheng and Zhu Biao looked at each other and nodded in unison:
"I go."

Old Qin pursed his lips tightly, sat back on his seat, suddenly seemed to be ten years older, and fell silent.

Obviously, he really has no other opinions now.

However, he didn't have any objections, but some people had serious objections.

"Let me tell you, you guys have been talking here for a long time, and you agree to continue, but you don't agree to continue. I want to ask, have you asked my opinion?"

Shen Xiu leaned back lazily on the chair and uttered these words lightly.

Aliya, who was sitting next to her, nodded her head in sympathy, as if she was trying to defend her father.

"What's your opinion?" Zhu Biao looked over with a smile.

Shen Xiu squinted at Lao Qin who stopped talking, and said:
"Didn't you say that the 'angel' is the minion of the Outer God? In order to prevent me from being used by Lilith without knowing it, I think this 'transaction' should be done. As for the repair of the 'wall', you have to do it separately." Please be wise."

As she said that, Shen Xiu suddenly slapped her head and suddenly said:
"By the way, forget that you don't know how to get back from the world of the night. To show my sincerity, I don't participate in this matter, but I can tell you the way. The way to get back is very simple, that is."

"Wait a moment."

Long Zheng interrupted suddenly.

"Don't worry about this, let's talk about repairing the 'wall' first."

"There's nothing else to say. In order to avoid suspicion, I unilaterally canceled the 'deal'. How to repair the 'wall' is your business. At most, I can only tell you how to come back from the night."

Shen Xiu pouted and said.

"That 'angel' told you the solution, right? If so, then did you not avoid your 'suspicion'? Since that's the case, wouldn't it be the same if you followed along?"

Zhu Biao also spoke at this time.

Shen Xiu narrowed her eyes and smiled, tapped her fingers on the table quite regularly without answering.

Zhu Biao looked at him and suddenly said:

"five piece!"

Shen Xiu still didn't speak.

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows, and his tone suddenly became more serious:
"Don't take an inch."

Shen Xiu grinned, her fingers tapping on the table stopped, and she said firmly:
"You must promise me five things, and you must not refuse anything that is within the scope of your bureau's ability. This is my condition, otherwise we will break up."

Zhu Biao's face was cloudy and uncertain, and a trace of anger rose vaguely in his eyes.

This kid really knows how to take advantage of the fire!

Ever since Zhu Biao was promoted to "Pillar", how could he have suffered such humiliation, so he was naturally very unwilling.

But in this situation, he couldn't help losing his temper.

If he really had a falling out with Shen Xiu and he quit, would he really go to the world of the night with Long Zheng?
To be honest, it was good to go. Zhu Biao's biggest wish in his life was to lie under the stars and take this opportunity to fulfill his wish.

But the question is, if the wish is fulfilled, what about the "wall", can it be repaired?Should the world be saved?
It's nothing for him and Long Zheng to die in the night world, just afraid that they didn't do anything, that's why they died aggrievedly.

Therefore, facing the aggressive Shen Xiu, Zhu Biao had no choice but to endure.

Just when Zhu Biao was about to find himself a step down, Long Zheng stood up:

"Okay, I promise you on behalf of him."

Zhu Biao, who was worrying about not going down the slope, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said:

"Don't represent me, you said it yourself."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Shen Xiu:

"Boy, you remember, the condition is that Long Zheng agrees to you, and you can go to him if you have anything in the future."

Regarding Zhu Biao's "shirking responsibility", Long Zheng didn't say anything, he still looked at Shen Xiu quietly, waiting for a reply.

Seeing that Long Zheng actually agreed, Shen Xiu was stunned for a moment and secretly murmured whether the conditions she proposed were too simple.

However, since the "conditions" have been negotiated, he has no chance to ask for extravagant prices, so he can only admit it with his nose.

What should be said has been said, and what should not be said has been said. Now that the matter has come to an end, everyone's topic naturally turns to how to repair that "wall".

"Wait a minute, you guys don't even know how to fix that 'wall'?"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Shen Xiu couldn't help opening her eyes wide, full of surprise.

He thought that these guys were just waiting for his "rice" to go into the pot, but he never thought that they were waiting for the rice to go into the pot. They didn't even have firewood for the fire, so they had to find it now.

Zhu Biao glanced at him, curled his lips and did not answer.

Although Shen Xiu finally agreed to the deal, but he couldn't like this kid who made him almost unable to step down.

Even if his surname is Zhu, he has a big heart without giving him small shoes, how can he talk to him.

Long Zheng pondered for a moment, then said:

"The general direction is already there. To repair that kind of thing, you must use materials of the same material."

"Same material?"

Shen Xiu was puzzled.

Although the thing that divides day and night is called a "wall", everyone present knows that it is definitely not the same as the usual wall.

Judging from the fact that the thing was created by the "ritual array", the "wall" is likely to be a rule that overrides ordinary rules.

According to Shen Xiu's understanding, if ordinary rules are compared to the way of heaven, then that "wall" is the avenue that surpasses the way of heaven.

And it is not easy to find something similar to "Da Dao".

Thinking of this, Shen Xiu became lazy.

He can help with repairing the "wall", but when it comes to finding things, it's better to let the people from the Foreign Affairs Bureau do it themselves.

Long Zheng nodded:

"Only something of the same material as that 'wall' can be repaired."

Shen Xiu, who lost interest, naturally didn't ask what that thing was.

But he didn't ask, there are other people who are curious about this kind of thing.

Yang Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:

"In that case, isn't that thing hard to find? Deputy Director Long, what is the thing made of the same material as the 'wall'?"

After saying this, Yang Ye, who was full of curiosity, suddenly felt that there was something more in Long Zheng's eyes looking at him, as if he was admiring?

What Yang Ye didn't know was that he didn't feel wrong, Long Zheng really meant that.

In fact, Long Zheng originally wanted Shen Xiu to ask this question, but Shen Xiu didn't know why she suddenly lost interest, so naturally she didn't follow his idea.

Although there is no such "popularity" as Shen Xiu, Long Zheng still has a way to say what that kind of thing is, but it seems a bit deliberate to do so.

Fortunately, Shen Xiu and Yang Ye are missing, so the atmosphere won't be so weird if someone takes over.

Long Zheng immediately said:

"That kind of thing is."
