Bright!

the next day.

Li Wen held the Zion Daily issued this morning and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The second page of the newspaper had a very exaggerated title, at least in Li Wen's opinion, it was very exaggerated, but it had to be said that this way of writing was very eye-catching.

【Shock! The Guyinduo Descendants-Gangshi Organization branch claimed responsibility for the attack on Zion Progressives. 】

Under the title, many details of the actions of Gu Yin Duo Hei were also recounted, as well as photos of the battle between Warlock Luo and Xu Le.

There are also some small words attached below the content about Xu Le.

[This picture was added randomly and has nothing to do with this case. 】

Seeing this line of fine print, the corner of Li Wen's mouth twitched...

When Li Wen was reading the newspaper, Secretary Liu next to him also said with a strange look:

"All the content was written in accordance with Xu Le's requirements, but I'm not sure why he came up with such a strange reason, and he exposed the information about Gu Yinduo's heirs... Isn't it bad? Will it alert the enemy? "

Li Wen shook his head slightly, then nodded again:

"He's just trying to scare off the enemy."

"Why? If you do this, it will not be conducive to the arrest."

"Someone must be responsible for the attack on the Zion Progressive Building. If we don't put the blame on the heirs of Gu Yinduo, do we have to take the blame?"

"Is he helping you? Xu Le has such a broad vision?"

Listening to Secretary Liu's similar words of praise to Xu Le, Li Wen became a little angry:

"He has a shitty vision. He can only see how much benefit he has gained. Is his enemy dead? Help me? You are overthinking."

"Forehead……"

"But from this incident, we can basically determine one piece of information."

"What?"

"The descendants of Gu Yinduo are divided into different camps. This is why Xu Le specially noted the Gangshi branch and wrote down the situation so clearly."

"Then what should we do now? Cooperate in arresting people?"

“We are not law enforcers, we are Zion progressive researchers, who are we arresting?

Let the people know that they are a terrorist organization, informal, and let Gu Yinduo's descendants cause chaos on their own. This is his purpose. You should learn more about this kind of scapegoating method. "

Li Wen stared at Secretary Liu, then picked up the coat on the hanger and went out.

"Where is the minister going?"

"I'm going to see Xiao Cheng."

"yes."

…

On the 7th floor of Zion Progressive, because the 8th floor was too severely damaged, all the injured people were moved to the 7th floor.

They also include Xu Lei, Li Qingcheng, Wang Man and others.

Sha, the main person in charge of the art troupe, stood at the door of Wang Man's ward with a gloomy look on his face, arguing with another person in the corridor.

"Everyone in the group has died, and the performance at the annual meeting on the 9th will basically be cancelled."

"Can't Miss Sha think of a way?"

"Everyone is gone, what else can I think of?"

When the two were arguing, it happened that Xu Le and Li Wen also came to the seventh floor. Li Wen came to visit Li Qingcheng, while Xu Le came to see Wang Man.

After several people met, they just made some simple eye contact and continued walking towards the ward.

But when Xu Le met Sha, his eyes paused on Sha for a moment.

At the end of the aisle, Xu Le stopped, smiled and said to Li Wen:

"Uncle Li comes to see his daughter?"

"Don't go around, it's boring. If you have something to say, just tell me." Li Wen simply closed his eyes.

"Well, Secretary Liu has a lot of information here, so I have something to ask Secretary Liu."

Xu Le spoke sheepishly, but Secretary Li looked at Xu Le after Li Wen nodded:

"If you have anything, just ask."

"That woman just now, that beautiful big wave, is from the art troupe?"

Secretary Liu closed his eyes slightly and pondered for a while. Xu Le didn't know whether this pondering was because he was thinking or something else. In short, he felt psychic energy.

And is it a very special psychic aura, some kind of warlock's ability?

After a pause of about a minute, Secretary Liu opened his eyes:

"Sha, the leader of the art troupe, is 29 years old. Although she is young, she has very senior qualifications. She started organizing Zion's art promotion project when she was very young. She is considered a person directly under the council. What's wrong?"

"How many people know the personnel information of the art troupe?"

Li Wen narrowed his eyes slightly at this time. He already had a certain understanding of Xu Le's question:

"You have a good chat with him, and I'll go see Xiao Cheng."

"yes."

After Li Wen left, Secretary Liu looked at Xu Le:

"Do you doubt this Sha?"

"I just feel that there are too many coincidences. As a doctor, Song Xiaojia specially arranges physical examinations for members of the art troupe, and then this kind of thing happened.

If she had not known the information about the members of the art troupe in advance, she would not have made such a judgment. So who disclosed the information about the members of the art troupe, mainly Wang Man's information to Song Xiaojia? "

After hearing Xu Le's analysis, Secretary Liu nodded:

"I understand, but this matter needs time to be investigated."

"clear."

After the two broke up, Xu Le came to Wang Man's room and promised Wang Man that he would see her again. As an honest and trustworthy man, he would naturally not break his promise at this time.

"Feeling better?"

"I wasn't injured in the first place, and I can't say I was in good condition."

Xu Le saw the notebook in Wang Man's hand. Wang Man hardly put any precautions against him, so Xu Le also looked through the notebook once.

But the problem is that he can't see anything from this notebook. Only Wang Man can see it, and he reads it with gusto.

In other words, he is not the one chosen by the so-called fate!

"No power, but the ability to interfere, ha..." Xu Le secretly despised this statement.

"Brother Xu Le, don't you have to go to work today?"

"Of course you have to work. After all, Zion has been in turmoil for several days. This city shouldn't have so much rhythm."

"What's the meaning?"

"I just feel that there shouldn't be so many bad people in this city." Xu Le said with a smile.

"Yes, Zion used to be a very peaceful city, but now it has become very chaotic."

Wang Man's expression was a little sad. She already knew that all her colleagues were dead.

This incident was a big blow to her, and Xu Le had no good way to comfort her. She could only rely on Wang Man to come out on her own.

"Brother Xu Le..." Wang Man spoke again, but her voice was blocked by some force again.

Xu Le quickly took out his black staff and placed it in front of Wang Man, and warned:

"In the future, if you have anything to do with Lightcasting, you can't talk about it if I'm not here and I don't take out the black staff to protect you. Do you understand?"

"knew."

Wang Man nodded guiltily, Xu Le had no intention of reprimanding her, and the relationship between them was actually not very close. At least Xu Le did not feel that it was very close. They could only be called ordinary friends.

"If you have something to say, you can tell me."

"I feel a light permeating the surroundings. When I sleep now, I feel that the surroundings are bright. I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Xu Le nodded slightly after hearing Wang Man's explanation. He didn't know what the distance between Guangzhu and Wang Man was.

He is not very clear about the role of pure people.

"Have you been threatened with anything?"

"No."

"Then what does he want from you?"

“I just meet with him every week and chat about things and stories about me, and also what’s happening around me.”

Hearing this, Xu Le thought of Night Fury.

Lightcast's requirements sound similar to those of Night Fury, but there are differences between the two.

Night Fury was completely uninterested in the things around him, the things around him, and what was happening in this world. She just wanted to hear stories.

Other things and dialogue are just incidental.

The other sons of Guyin Duo, Night Fury, didn't care at all. Her daily routine was to light fires there.

So Lightcast and Night Fury are still different.

"Be vigilant about this light cast. Don't be too resistant, because you have no room for resistance in the face of such an existence, but you can't be too obedient and have your own subjective thoughts."

"I see."

At this time, Xu Le still didn't feel Gu Yinduo's energy from Wang Man, nor did he feel anything like Red Moon's spiritual energy.

According to his original idea, if Light Zhu wanted to use Wang Man, he should give her some training.

But it doesn’t happen now, so what’s the reason for looking for Wang Man?

Just chatting? Xu Le didn't believe it at all.

After ending the blessing of the black staff, Xu Le asked inadvertently:

"Oh, by the way, are you familiar with that Sha?"

"Sister Sha, she is the leader, she arranges our schedule. Alas, after this accident, the show basically came to nothing.

This is Sister Sha's hard work over the years. It's such a pity. Why did Brother Xu Le think of asking her, what's wrong with her? "

"It's nothing. I'm just asking. That's okay. I have to go to work. You have a good rest." Xu Le squinted and nodded.

"Okay, goodbye Brother Xu Le."

Xu Le did not remind Wang Man to be careful about Sha.

It's meaningless, he doesn't have any evidence, and Gu Yinduo Vision doesn't even have any discoveries.

Wang Man didn't have much thought, and reminding her rashly now would only expose her flaws.

Wang Man's identity at this time has become special. A person who can talk to Guangzhu may be a huge target of competition for other sons of Gu Yinduo.

Determining the position of the light-forged head... maybe this is of little use to ordinary people.

But for the heirs, and even the son of Gu Yinduo behind it, it is of great value.

Like what the Night Fury said, eat?

…

After coming out of Wang Man's room, Xu Le left the Zion Progressive Building directly. The environment of the building was indeed very suitable for research, but what they were going to do next was not suitable for doing inside the Zion Progressive.

After calling a taxi, Xu Le rushed towards Area 1, the Chapel of Destiny.

After getting out of the car and arriving at the hall of the chapel, Lailai walked over very enthusiastically.

"Lord Xu Le."

She changed her title of Xu Le from Mr. to "Sir", just like she called Xia Libo.

"Sister Lailai." Xu Le also nodded.

Soon, the warlock Luo walking on crutches walked out of the chapel, followed by Xia Libo.

Xu Le looked at Warlock Luo and opened his hands enthusiastically, feeling like he was welcoming his long-lost brother.

"Warlock Luo, you seem to be recovering well. Dr. Xia has even arranged a prosthetic limb for you, but you don't seem to be used to walking with the prosthetic limb yet. I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, but you are free now."

"Freedom..." Warlock Luo's expression was strange.

The look he looked at Xu Le was even more strange. Can it really be done artificially to remove the mark of Gu Yinduo?

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"Well, you have recovered a lot now. Can you try to replace it with some gold-like metal?"

"..."

Warlock Luo's expression became more and more strange. He originally worked at Zion Progressive and was naturally familiar with researchers like Xu Le and Xia Libo:

"Researchers like you have countless R\u0026D funds every year. This money can be used freely. Zion Progressives also provides you with unlimited amounts of materials. Why are you still greedy for money?

Is your doing this worthy of Zion’s investment and cultivation in you? "

Seeing the indignant look on Warlock Luo Yi's face, Xu Le curled his lips and said to Xia Libo beside him:

"Look, I just said it casually, but he was still impatient."

Xia Libo turned his head away, unwilling to talk to this arrogant and upright guy.

However, Xu Le expressed some of his true thoughts at this time.

"I think Warlock Luo's ability is very special and can be of some help to our future plans in terms of mechanical manufacturing. I plan to build a machine, so I kept Mr. Luo."

"Build a machine? Our research direction is biology, and we have no understanding of mechanics at all. We blindly cross boundaries..."

Xia Libo told Xu Le a lot of nonsense, and Xu Le knew that Xia Libo was very unrestrained in combat, but he was a very conservative person in terms of research and development.

He waved to Xia Libo:

"Doctor Xia, don't worry, okay? Although the thing I want to make is a machine, it has a great relationship with biology. This will definitely require the full help of Mr. Xia Libo and even all the R\u0026D personnel in the entire laboratory."

"Machines related to biology? What do you mean?"

Xu Le pondered for a while. It was quite difficult to turn a strange idea into reality.

It can even be said that even his idea is still in its infancy.

"I want to make a stove."

Xia Libo immediately frowned. According to Xu Le's previous statement, shouldn't their next research direction be to make Zion greater and then research a new energy core?

"Stove? Is it a stove for burning fire?"

"If the stove doesn't make a fire, can it still be called a stove? But...it doesn't necessarily mean just making a fire, maybe it can burn something else." Xu Le's eyes shone slightly, the kind of person who doesn't think of anything good at a glance. kind of expression.

"I advise you to think clearly and not to waste taxpayers' money. Well, first, can you tell me what kind of stove it is?"

Xia Libo himself wanted to dissuade Xu Le, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he couldn't dissuade Xu Le, so he simply asked about the specific situation.

“I have an idea for an energy furnace, but I don’t have a way to give detailed drawings. I don’t even know what the machine should look like, so it’s very troublesome now.

I want to build the stove bit by bit. Others cannot modify it anytime and anywhere with physical objects, but Mr. Luo can. This requires Mr. Luo's replacement ability. "

"No drawings? Just an idea? When doing scientific research, you have to be down-to-earth, and you can't just rely on your imagination, you know?"

"I know." Xu Le nodded.

"Then what are you going to burn?"

"This goes back to the most basic energy issue. There are many types of energy in this world. For example, Moon Spirit is a very high-end energy. We can now even use Moon Spirit and Moon Stone to create Moon Stone technology weapons.

So another way of thinking, in terms of the opposite of Yueling, can Gu Yinduo also become an energy source?

The energy of Guyinduo is very extensive. It can be said that it is filled in every corner of the world. Its distribution area is much richer than that of the Red Moon Spirit. Can we take advantage of it? "

After hearing Xu Le's thoughts, Xia Libo and Warlock Luo did not refute them for a while.

"It's not like no one has ever proposed such an idea. This is not a new proposal."

"Then what?"

"The energy of Guyinduo is indeed very extensive, but the key question now is how to safely extract the energy of Guyinduo? The things corresponding to Guyinduo are weird."

Xu Le nodded and agreed with Xia Libo's statement:

"I know."

"Burn weird?"

"Yes, it's just weird."

"This is dangerous!"

"I know it's dangerous." Xu Le nodded again.

"You knew the danger and still came up with this idea?"

“When there are difficulties, you need to overcome them instead of giving up.”

"Come on, come on, tell me how to overcome it?"

“For example, create a relatively closed environment, make the ancient sounds more weird, such as living corpses, and use a certain fixed method to lure them, let them run and chase, thereby providing biological power.

After their biological energy is gradually exhausted, throw them into the furnace I imagined before, let them release the last ancient Yinduo energy in their lives, and then return to nature..."

Xu Le's words became more and more ridiculous, and Xia Libo's expression became strange.

"You think so beautifully."

"Shouldn't people have some dreams? Are you just going to keep researching on those poor ideas you had before?"

"My idea is clumsy? I am the most outstanding researcher in Zion."

"Now that you are, I guess the next one will be me."

Warlock Luo was not a scientific researcher, and he still had the curse mark planted by Xia Libo, so he did not dare to interrupt at this time.

They could only watch Xu Le and Xia Libo arguing endlessly.

After arguing for a long time, both parties had no clear answer, and finally returned to the original topic.

Regarding weirdness, such as using dark rules and anima rules to spawn monsters, and then turning weirdness into energy... This project, which sounds nonsense, was finally approved.

As the main researcher, Xia Libo took the lead in proposing the first difficulty that needed to be overcome.

"How to use rules to guide weird refresh? How should we correctly guide the flow of kinetic energy after weird refresh? If we are a labor force, what kind of planning should we do?

Should it be done using dark rules or anima rules? "

Xu Le pondered for a while. With Guyin's multiple visions and the Tree of Souls, he could almost be said to be on the same side as the Anima.

But if you think about it carefully, if the dark rules are really related to the elder brother, then he is not very far from the dark rules.

"The dark rules are about spawning monsters with no certainty, and the level 1 rules of anima are just weird temptations, so this matter has to start with the level 1 rules of anima."

"What about being more specific?"

"If someone keeps his anima at level 1 alert, he can continuously attract the weird things around him, and these weird things will spontaneously move in the direction of his anima..."

Xu Lebalabala talked a lot, but Xia Libo was really not good at mental energy, so he asked again:

"Can you be more specific?"

"Make an anima trap to attract monsters..."

"I know you made an anima shield before, and now you've made an anima trap. Are all Red Moon Warlocks like you?"

"No, I am not an ordinary Red Moon Warlock."

"Indeed, the average Red Moon Warlock is not as cunning as you, so can the stove still be used?"

"Of course we have to do it. Burn the weirdness and let it return to the furnace of the energy essence of ancient sounds. This sounds great."

Xu Le looked at Warlock Luo, who had been silent before, and asked with a smile:

"Does Mr. Luo also think we are great?"

"Well, probably so." Luo didn't dare to refute.

…

A few days later, the time has come to January 9th.

In Li Wen's office, Li Wen is reviewing research funding applications for various research departments.

Li Wen felt a headache when he saw these bills. A large part of Zion's financial resources was invested in these researches, and a large part of them was wasted.

Li Wen himself knew about this situation, but could he stop it?

cannot.

Zion, a young city, needs to rely on constantly improving advanced technology to maintain its vitality and combat effectiveness.

Just like a steam engine, it was originally just a side product of an alchemist's research.

But it was this inadvertent by-product that changed the entire city, and even the structure of the entire four major city-states.

If you block the funding of those research laboratories, they will backhand you and label you as hindering Zion's scientific and technological progress. Even he, the logistics minister of Zion's progressives, cannot resist it.

After all, Zion does need to rely on technological progress to maintain it.

"Where's Xu Le's research funding application? Why didn't I see it?"

"He... didn't apply." Secretary Liu answered truthfully.

"No application? It's really worthless."

Research funding is allocated in a fixed fiscal proportion every year, which means it must be distributed, no matter which department it is given to, it must be distributed.

Li Wen had thought about giving Xu Le some money before, but he didn't expect that this person was so worthless and couldn't even apply for excess funding. He was so stupid.

"Minister, Xu Le is here."

"Let him in."

Xu Le walked into the office with a smile and first put down a box of unpackaged tea.

"Uncle Li likes to drink tea. This is the Yulouchun I specially prepared for you. I guarantee it will be good."

Li Wen opened the tea leaves, took a look, and nodded:

"It's quite similar to the 6-cent loose tea downstairs."

Xu Le: ...Has he drank? Can you see this?

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I would like to apply for some research funding, personnel, and...site."

Looking at Xu Le in front of him, Li Wen's expression became playful.

Is this guy finally going to get down to business?

"What on earth were you doing when you kidnapped Xia Libo and took a fugitive with you all day long? Tell me what your project is."

"We call this project...the melting pot."

I thought about it for a long time and worked very hard to write it. . . But it never succeeds
