"We haven't seen you for ten years. How are you doing, sir?"
Looking at Ximen Jian who was holding a tea cup in front of him and with white hair on his head, Fang Yuan greeted him unceremoniously, which immediately made Zhao Daniu and Ye Yingzi glare at him.
"I'm so glad I didn't die from exhaustion. God has blessed me!"
Ximen Jian was very well-mannered and blew on the tea in front of him.
Fang Yuan also admired this man's determination and patience.
If you think about it, you will know that during the Third Impact, when countless nations were destroyed on Earth, as the director of the Religious Administration Bureau, Ximen Sword, who actually mastered the supernatural power of China, must have been busy every day without even touching the ground. The pressure on me is also terrifying.
Under such circumstances, taking the time to express condolences to his old subordinate was either for other reasons or out of his mind.
At this time, Ximen Jian does not look like a psychopath or madman, so it is self-evident why he is here.
"Why did you leave in the first place?"
Ximen Jian looked at Fang Yuan, and after a long time, he still asked solemnly.
"Because of a discovery..."
Fang Yuan started talking nonsense: "I discovered the relics of an extraordinary civilization thousands of years ago in the Golden Eagle Federation! If I wanted to conduct an on-site inspection, you would definitely stop me, so I had to leave without saying goodbye."
This excuse sucks.
But after Ximen Jian recalled Xia Lei's whereabouts and the major events that happened in the Golden Eagle Federation, he had to admit that this was indeed very logical and logical.
"... No matter what, you are welcome to return to the organization!"
Ximen Jian looked complicated and handed over another letter of appointment: "From now on, you will be the national special adviser and enjoy the highest treatment... I hope you will be worthy of the country and the people."
"oh?"
Fang Yuan smiled: "So that's it. I almost thought you would just give me a bunch of research or tasks."
"When it comes to research, there is no rush, and the task is not necessary..."
Ximen Jian smiled bitterly: "Across the country, where is the situation that is not tragic? In urgent need of high-end combat power? There is no way we can save it!"
Unless Fang Yuan has the magical power to incarnate billions of people, in the face of such a doomsday disaster in which the world is overturned, he can only save a few key nodes, and there is nothing he can do about the rest.
So after the two looked at each other, they fell into silence again.
"You two get out first!"
I don't know how long it took, but Ximen Jian gave instructions to the two people behind him.
Zhao Daniu and Ye Yingzi saluted and went out, and started playing with some instruments again.
"Shield jammer?"
When Fang Yuan saw this, he frowned and heard Ximen Jian said from the opposite side: "As a fourth-level superpower... If you don't want to, no one can eavesdrop on the specific content of our conversation, right?"
At this time, he seemed extremely cautious, even cautious.
"Don't worry, absolutely no one can do this..."
When Fang Yuan saw this scene, he smiled playfully: "Who are you guarding against? Xinghezi? He has left Huiming City a long time ago... Even here, he will not take the initiative to eavesdrop on this, causing my displeasure. "
"well… "
Ximen Jian smiled bitterly: "It's really hard to reassure people about an old monster that has been sleeping for thousands of years. Comrade Fang Yuan, the organization has a very important task for you to entrust!"
"Important mission?"
The flavor of Fang Yuan's smile was even more unclear: "I have been hiding for ten years, my thoughts are not firm, and my inclination is hard to tell, and you actually leave it to me?"
"There is no way, because I really can't find a suitable candidate!"
Ximen Jian stood up and bowed solemnly: "Please protect mankind!"
"Protecting humanity? What a big burden..."
Fang Yuan's expression turned dull: "What exactly did you find?"
"A huge shadow has always been hidden in the darkness. Even the wars during the establishment of China could not completely destroy them. Instead, they quickly resurrected and infiltrated the political power..."
Ximen Jian said in a heavy voice: "Now, even I dare not trust my original subordinates..."
Fang Yuan understood this very well.
That black hand is a combination of the peripheral strengths of the three sects and four sects of Central Continent thousands of years ago. Most of them have some spells or abilities. When the spiritual energy revives, they will definitely be the first ones to rise. And the Religious Administration is recruiting troops, so it will not be It is strange to seep into a sieve.
"This is at most a struggle for power. What does it have to do with protecting humanity?"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and then asked this question.
"What do you think? That kind of thousand-year-old ghost's thinking mode is different from that of us modern people! What he wants may be to push everything back to the past, back to the feudal era... "
Ximen Jian said calmly: "If it were just this kind of worry, the leaders would not make up their minds, but after investigation, we found that those high-level practitioners, including Xinghezi, are more or less connected with the ferocious beasts. , especially Xinghezi, once secretly met with the Sea Dragon King."
Fang Yuan sweated.
It has to be said that when a state machine is fully activated, its power is still terrifying.
Xinghezi underestimated mortals and finally got the hang of it.
"Therefore... I came here specifically to ask you to find out all this. Once it is discovered that Xinghezi has anti-human tendencies, execute him immediately! Stop the conspiracy behind it! If necessary, you can use all national resources!"
Ximen Jian promised.
"So... why did you choose me?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment and asked the last question.
"Because you are ours through and through. From birth to growing up, you have been a part of our country, so you must be able to agree with our philosophy!"
Ximen Jian smiled bitterly: "This is actually a cliché. The key is that you are clean and have never had any contact with other people. And I have no one to turn to for help..."
Watching his leaving figure, Fang Yuan fell into deep thought.
In fact, this is the ideological difference and collision between the two major camps of mankind.
As ordinary people and even secular governments, even if this spiritual energy recovery has benefits, the world-destroying scene still makes them long to go back to the past. Even though it is not very safe, humans are still dominated by the earth and the stars with the power of technology. , instead of the current hell where all kinds of frosts compete for freedom and cruel survival.
But for other extraordinary beings, especially cultivators, a world with a higher concentration of spiritual energy is a paradise for them.
As for how many ordinary people died in this process, it is just because the world is unkind and everything is like a stupid dog.
On issues involving their own fundamental interests, all cultivators have the same aspirations, and the higher the rank, the more so. Therefore, Xinghezi is not worried at all about Fang Yuan's betrayal.
Even, to a certain extent, there is a basis for peace talks with the Sea Dragon King and the Hell Nine-Headed Dog.
"This is an inherently unfair contest... The Alliance of Extraordinaries are giants, and the resistance of these ordinary people is like ants!"
Fang Yuan sighed.
This is easy to understand. In the last days, those who have power will have power.
Even national leaders, if they are not supernatural beings, do not have much ability to protect themselves. How far can they get out of natural and man-made disasters
Even if there is no need for conflict, how many of those plutocratic oligarchs and family leaders don’t want to live forever
As long as Hoshigoko and others are smarter and throw a few things at will, they can corrupt the high-ranking officials.
Therefore, Ximen Jian would say that no one can use it. To take it to the extreme, it means that all the national rights holders in the world are not very credible.
"This is the tragedy of ordinary people... being sacrificed in silence, without the power to resist, or even the right to know... "
Fang Yuan came to the window and looked at the building not far away and the ant-like crowd inside, and couldn't help but fall into silence.
"But even ants will resist. After all, there are still people like Ximen Jian among the common people, and leaders will not all be corrupted. This is the last hope for ordinary people..."
Fang Yuan looked at his palm.
Just now, Ximen Jian entrusted this hope to him and did not dare to let him stay even with a guarantee, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
The situation has worsened far beyond many people's expectations.
I'm afraid even Ximen Jian was gambling with his own life just now!
"Father!"
Not long after, two big lolita ran in: "What did that uncle say to you just now?"
"Nothing, just give me a problem!"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "Also... I'm going to go abroad recently, so you guys should take good care of my house!"
"Going abroad? Where?"
"The Whirling Country!"
…
Outside a huge city.
Xinghezi waved his whisk indifferently, and the power of the stars in the sky fell down, turning into a big hand, and beat a rampant winged tiger into a pulp in one fell swoop.
After completing this feat, he did not stay to accept the cheers like a savior, but left quickly, which seemed to be doing good deeds without leaving a name.
"It's done!"
After flying a certain distance, Xinghezi was surrounded by clouds and mist, and stopped in front of a cliff.
Click! Click!
The surrounding cliffs were broken, and an eye appeared at some point, staring at him silently.
"The formation has been set up, and the next step is to launch the blood sacrifice. You can send some miscellaneous fish to attack the city from time to time. It doesn't matter which side is killed."
Xinghezi warned.
"that person… "
The giant eye of the rock sent out a mental wave, and several pictures appeared, which were of Ximen Jian and Fang Yuan.
"What did you notice? Ha..."
Xinghezi smiled disdainfully: "You want to win over other masters to deal with us? He simply can't imagine that in this matter, all comrades are on the same side, even Falun, who needs the foundation of ordinary people's faith, and even more What's more, what about us cultivators whose great power belongs to ourselves? Even if Zhengqizi is resurrected, I'm afraid he will make the same choice as me."
"He went to the Posas Kingdom!"
Juyan was silent for a moment and said slowly.
"Good! The Whispering Kingdom has three formations. I didn't expect Fellow Taoist Fang Yuan to take the initiative to invite you!"
Xinghezi laughed: "I know that Ximen Jian is secretly trying to win over people, but things are done with form rather than heart. You are secretly monitoring whether Fang Yuan is perfecting the formation or destroying it. You can sense the earth's veins. Can't you still tell?"
