Enforcer's Handbook

This is Lu Xiang's strategy to dominate the topic and bring the atmosphere of the conversation to business.

She has the completely opposite talent from Song Lan.

If the latter can turn all serious atmosphere into a relaxed and humorous state, then Lu Xiang can make the relaxed atmosphere serious. Her strategy has indeed achieved excellent results, and the attention of several guests is all focused on On the topic of "New Era", she ignored her current dress and her embarrassing behavior of throwing herself into Song Lan's arms when she opened the door.

In life, it is inevitable to encounter situations of social death, but Lu Xiang has never been a person who sits still and waits for death. Compared with those who have the idea of ​​​​looking for a time machine or moving to other planets, she is more inclined to solve the embarrassment in the present.

"Can health cultivation really stop the evolution of species?"

Even Ya Kong, who believed most in health cultivation, could not help but raise doubts. He could not find any scientific connection between the two from all aspects.

Although the evolution of species sounds ridiculous, he heard about what happened in Atlantis when he went on a business trip to District 17 not long ago. The most powerful six-star rescuer "Emperor" should not lie. The residents of the sunken continent have now evolved into fish-men.

It's just that he couldn't think of what would happen to the people who survived the plague if "corruption" succeeded.

"able."

Song Lan said, "But the important thing is to be able to continue this practice consistently."

"Is this the principle of believers? Although you have changed the terms, the essence is the same."

"Little Heizi" δ, who was hiding in the dark, said, "Also, why didn't you prepare my bowls and chopsticks? Am I not a guest?"

"You can also eat?"

"Although the conscious body has no need to eat, it comes here, so it seems unreasonable not to eat something."

δ emerged from the shadows and found his own place at the table.

Attending the dinner party hosted by the devil was a more bragging rights among them than defeating the six-star rescuer.

"Wait a minute, what does the Believer's Principle mean?"

Yueji frowned and asked. She had long felt that Song Lan's health practice was fishy.

"Isn't this obvious? Just like those believers, surrender your faith to the gods. In return, he will protect you from the influence of 'evolution'."

δ rarely stood up and said something for Song Lan, "It is much more reliable to give your faith to him than to those gods who do nothing."

Her days with Jasmine were not idle. Six-star rescuers had the highest level of authority, which allowed her to investigate many sealed materials. In a dusty cellar of a library for many years, she discovered something. I don’t know who copied the church records.

There are many clips about the devil in the notes.

There are many paths of faith, but Song Lan is the only one who is called the devil. From the records, it is not difficult to see that the frequency of communication between devils and believers is the highest, and he is also the one who likes to interfere in church affairs the most.

This creates a strange phenomenon.

Prayers to the gods are illusory, and often they may not receive an answer even for the rest of their lives.

However, the deal made with the devil always takes effect immediately.

So at least according to the information provided by the notes, Song Lan is really doing practical things.

"Hogg Foster became a stand-in messenger, awakened the ability to stop time, and Roger mastered the power of nature. These are all manifestations of the deal with the devil."

Yes, since the incident in District 2, δ has also become a staunch supporter of the devil.

She is not a little Heizi at all, she just has a different understanding from Jasmine and others.

In her opinion, the devil should belong to the evil camp, and they should hatch some conspiracies behind the scenes, and then cause several major events to completely plunge the whole world into turmoil. When war comes, it will be most conducive for the devil to harvest believers. days, and her ability can also take this opportunity to get a share of the pie.

For this reason, she worked tirelessly to teach others how powerful and cruel Song Lan was in the past, just to make Jasmine and Ya Kong realize that they were on a pirate ship.

As a member of the evil force, the first thing they should do is to correct their mentality and do some things that villains should really do, instead of wasting time every day on studying tea ceremonies or fashion trends.

δ's words successfully made everyone focus on Song Lan.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became extremely strange.

Because generally speaking, faith needs to rely on distance to exist.

Only long-term prayers without asking for anything in return, and the spirit of praying despite knowing that there may not be an answer, are enough to be worthy of the name of faith.

It is rare in this world that the gods whom believers believe in invite them to their homes for dinner and even cook for them personally.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm different from them."

Song Lan said.

It was obvious that little classmate δ had little knowledge of the situation in the upper world, which led her to draw such an outrageous conclusion.

People who are familiar with him usually call him a "faith thief". One of the main reasons is that he has never established his own path in the church, but because of some deep-rooted prejudices, others always think that he is He deceived the believers and used smooth words to trick them into betraying his path.

But in fact……

"I just awakened the desire deep within you."

Countless experiments have proven that even if you are as diligent as the God of Life, you will occasionally want to stay in bed in the morning and not want to get up.

It is precisely because the soul of salted fish has been suppressed in all aspects in this era that when it is awakened, it will appear in a violent way.

"The so-called health cultivation practice is created to let you have a healthy body and an optimistic mentality."

"Can a healthy body and an optimistic mentality withstand an opponent like 'corruption'?"

Rose doubts this.

The situation has been getting worse and worse recently, and what makes her unable to calm down for a long time is that even the powerful enemies like "Corruption" who have collected 149 fragments and almost completed the promotion ceremony are not their final opponents. There are more terrifying existences above that are secretly manipulating everything.

The incident in the first area has shown that with their current strength, they are simply unable to have a decisive influence in the critical battle situation.

Even the "Emperor" was defeated by the blessed botanist.

Because of this, she has an urgent purpose in joining H1.

She wants to become stronger.

At least grow to the point where you won't be easily crushed by unknown enemies when the "new era" comes.

Yueji clearly realizes that the knowledge they currently possess is simply not enough to support them through the coming catastrophe.

Seeing that Song Lan didn't answer, she continued, "Then I have something to say directly. Apart from collecting the fragments, is there any other way to complete the promotion ceremony?"

Since they are psychics, they must eventually return to the path of psychics.

"As long as you have the same power as 'Corruption', you can help."

Yueji made up her mind, as long as Song Lan could give them a clear direction, she would not hesitate to do so, even if the cost was to be associated with the devil.

At least they can still control their destiny in their own hands, instead of completely evolving into other species with the advent of the "New Age" like the people of Atlantis in the past.

Whether they are fish-men or aberrations, they all exhibit a common trait.

Their evolved appearance is really... not in line with human aesthetics.

"I'm afraid this may be a little difficult."

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little awkward again. Song Lan sorted out her words and tried to explain in a language they could understand, "We assume that the promotion ceremony is like an exam, and those believers who are qualified to participate in the ceremony are quite The top students are selected through layers of screening.”

This vivid metaphor made Yue Ji and the other three nodded.

Naturally, they are not unfamiliar with exams. Even Yakong was a "top student" who defeated countless competitors before he became a six-star candidate.

"You can understand the promotion ceremony as an exam leading to a higher education institution. Before the exam comes, you will be called to the final exam room that determines your fate. However, due to some wonderful, unknown, and irresistible reasons, the exam room exploded. , it can no longer be used."

"Explosion!? Why did there be an explosion in the examination room?"

"I heard it was a natural gas leak."

The three of them suddenly lost their composure. They really couldn't figure out what kind of natural gas leak could cause the examination room maintained by many gods to be blown to pieces?

Yueji asked again, "Can't we just build another examination room? This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"Student Yueji, this is much more complicated than you think. If this is an exam, you will need teachers to impart knowledge to you, and people will be needed to correct the test papers you submit. This is a systematic and complete system. project."

As a "newcomer" who has taken this exam, Song Lan has full say. "The problem now is that when the natural gas leaked, other teachers did not have time to run out of the exam room."

The atmosphere at the table became more and more subtle.

After about a few minutes, Yue Ji concluded, "...dead?"

"Sacrificed."

"What about you? Aren't you still alive?"

"I don't have a teaching certificate."

This is the truth.

Not long after Song Lan came to the upper world, some mysterious organizations appeared in the upper world. The main activity of the organization was to do everything possible to keep Song Lan away from the "examination room" to prevent him from bringing down newcomers, so he actually even I haven’t even brought a new batch of people with me.

"Are you saying that psionics is actually an incomplete path?"

This was the first time Yue Ji felt that she had been cheated.

If everything Song Lan said is true, then no matter how they practice, the ultimate limit will stop here. The six-star rescuer defined by the coalition government is the limit.

"The good news is that the upper limit on prosthetic transformation is also stuck."

Song Lan lowered her voice and tried to reveal the secret to the artificial intelligence housekeeper at home without hearing them.

Strong and weak have always been relative concepts.

If people who choose the mechanical path cannot go further, then everyone will remain in a state of novices pecking each other, which is the best of both worlds.

"No wonder the 'Emperor' lost to that botanist!"

Yakon suddenly understood.

The upper limits of prosthetic transformation and psychic abilities are stuck, but the genetic modification camp is in a stage of vigorous development due to the influence of the "New Era".

The existence that was just a make-up among the three original paths turned out to be the real version of the answer?

Yue Ji also saw the crisis, "If this momentum continues, won't the gap between us become wider and wider?"

In retrospect, taking the incident in the first area as a node, every enemy that appears subsequently is an existence that they cannot fight against with their current strength.

If Song Lan is excluded from them, we will find that any one of them has the ability to open a "new era".

The High Council, the Ocean Folk, and the Plague in the Oasis...

When they stopped moving forward, an enemy they didn't know was hiding somewhere in the world, completing "promotion rituals" one after another.

"So in this case, you must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude."

“How on earth can we stay positive in this situation?”

Yue Ji immediately thought of the emoticons that were very popular on the Internet in the past. Jasmine had collected these from somewhere, and would send her some strange pictures every now and then.

And now, she really wants to flip the table over like the person in the meme.

"Don't get excited sister, I probably understand what the minister means."

Jasmine patted her sister's shoulder gently to express comfort. Suddenly she understood everything and suddenly became enlightened, with a bright smile on her face. "The minister means that this is already the case anyway, so why not do something happy?" Thing, did you know, sister, many prisons in the coalition government have a tradition that on the day a death row prisoner is executed, the prison guards will let him have a good meal and also let him choose a piece of music during the execution. By the way, there are also patients who are diagnosed with terminal cancer by doctors. Doctors will also advise them to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, spend every day happily, and try not to leave any regrets."

Unfortunately, Jasmine's comfort failed to have any positive effect, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more depressed.

When they thought that while they were eating, there was a terrible opponent in a corner of the world who had completed their promotion, no matter how delicious the dishes were, they lost their appeal.

Jasmine hugged Yueji gently and comforted her softly, "Sister, you might as well tell me if you have any other wishes. I also saved a lot of money while working in the rescue department, which is enough for us to travel around the mountains and rivers for a while."

"I have a wish."

Yakong was also infected by the atmosphere at the dinner table. He lowered his head, and his gloomy temperament revealed a little expectation, "I really want to fall in love before the end."

"You have completely misunderstood."

Song Lan put down her chopsticks.

"What I mean is that you just need to maintain a healthy body and an optimistic attitude. I will think of a way."

He really didn't like that the atmosphere at the dinner table had become so heavy, and the negative energy coming at him had seriously affected his enjoyment of dinner. "A good leader would not leave such troublesome matters to his subordinates to solve."

Small theater its three hundred and one:

Thursday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, afternoon

"There are limits to fishing."

When Lu Xiang activated the "forced infiltration" strategy card as a spy, Song Lan had to reveal some of his plans to the other party, "Too tedious work will make people feel like fishing. So, What will happen if you do nothing for several days?"

"wrong."

Lu Xiang interrupted Song Lan.

"What's wrong? I haven't finished speaking yet. This is the famous "Theory of Relativity"!"

He had never revealed the promotion theory of "Salted Fish Code" to Lu Xiang before.

"I'm not talking about your theory, but your tone!"

"Tone? What's wrong with my tone?"

"Not evil enough, doesn't sound like a mad scientist who caught a spy!"

"Don't interrupt, when did I become a mad scientist! Listen, in order to test this theory, I once played computer games for half a month after the exam. As a result, during the second half of the vacation, I couldn't even connect to the computer. I’m too lazy to open it!”

Nothing is too much, not even fishing.

"You were the one who made the miscalculation, Lao Lu. Once the external work pressure is relieved, fishing will soon usher in the burnout period!"

"Well, that sounds like something."

"What on earth are you here for?"

"Eavesdropping on intelligence."

"Now that the intelligence eavesdropping is over, you can go back and think about countermeasures."

"No, it's not over yet."

Lu Xiang took a deep breath, raised his hands above his head, and tried his best to show his grief and anger, "Gu, I will not give in to you!"
