Chapter 49 FBI Director, Trendy
"Star River, don't we have an undercover agent within the Evil Spirit Cult? What's the point of controlling the Dark Earl?"
Gu Yuena watched as Meng Xinghe used his methods to control the unconscious Dark Earl, and asked in confusion.
In response, Meng Xinghe said, "Being an undercover agent is like having money. No one ever thinks they have too much money; they just want to find ways to earn more."
Gu Yuena nodded, seemingly understanding.
She was born wealthy and didn't need to earn money herself, or even spend it on herself. Almost everything she needed was provided by others. Therefore, she really had no concept of money.
For her, money isn't something you can just have whenever you want it, is it?
Moreover, human lifespan is so short, and money can't be taken with you after death. I really don't understand why humans are so obsessed with money.
Meng Xinghe understood Gu Yuena's thoughts: "Humans are different from you."
"Some people live in this world to live, while others live in this world to survive. Those who have money are the former, and those who don't are the latter. If you never need to worry about money or how to make it, you can't truly understand people's obsession with money."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena understood.
She understood the difference between living and surviving.
Weak spirit beasts hunt to survive, because they will starve if they don't hunt; the auspicious beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion hunts to live, because even if she doesn't hunt, other ferocious beasts will prepare her favorite food for her.
For humans, money can determine whether they live or survive, which is why they are so obsessed with money.
"Star River," Gu Yuena continued, following up on the topic of the evil spirit cult.
"Who is our undercover agent within the evil cult?"
Meng Xinghe looked up at the sky, and Gu Yuena followed suit.
It is evening now. The sun has sunk behind the western mountains, and a bright moon hangs faintly in the sky. If your eyesight is good enough, you can even see one or two stars twinkling in the sky that is not yet completely dark.
"Our undercover agent within the evil cult is......"
…………
FBI, East Coast Division.
In the corridor outside the chemistry lab, Wu Changkong and Long Bing waited with Tang Wulin. Xie Xie didn't stay to accompany his best friend, because he had been taken away by his father.
Tang Wulin looked into the laboratory through the glass window. His mother was skillfully mixing a chemical reagent, while his father assisted her.
"Wu Lin, don't worry." Long Bing comforted Tang Wu Lin, her gentle demeanor like that of a caring older sister.
"I spoke with my father and learned that the reason the evil cult captured your parents is very likely because of a drug that your parents developed many years ago. Now, the Federation needs your parents to concoct that drug, figure out its specific effects, and deduce the evil cult's purpose in needing it, so that we can better protect your parents."
"Hmm," Tang Wulin responded, forcing a smile.
That shouldn't be the case. How could it be a potion?
Tang Wulin's thoughts were somewhat disorganized.
He had already guessed that his father was a senior mecha repairman; he was somewhat surprised that his mother was a pharmacist, but that was all.
But shouldn't the reason the evil cult captured them be the Golden Dragon King's divine core? How could it be some kind of potion?
Moreover, Tang Wulin discovered that his parents seemed completely unaware of the divine core within him, just as they were unaware of Brother Huo's existence.
So, who put the Golden Dragon King's divine core into his body? And who set up eighteen seals inside him?
"Brother Huo, do you know?"
"I know," Huo Yuhao replied instantly, "but you're still young, and there are some things I need to tell you when you grow up."
Just then, footsteps sounded in the corridor. Nanali walked towards the laboratory, and in front of her was a middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt and a monocle.
Upon recognizing the visitors, Wu Changkong and Long Bing quickly stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Director Shi."
Tang Wulin also stood up and said politely, "Hello, Director Shi."
"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
His name is Shi Xing, the current director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is a demigod with a martial soul called "Time Flies Bell," which possesses a rare and powerful time attribute. He is known as "the number one person below the quasi-god."
(Yes, that's Schrödinger, the lord of Shrek City. As for why Shi Xing appeared in this era, everyone should know.)
Shi Xing looked at Tang Wulin and said:
"Little Tang Wulin, right? Come here to your uncle."
As he spoke, he took a silver-white pocket watch out of his pocket. The watch cover clicked open, and one end of the watch chain was in his hand. The watch face hung down, performing a free fall in the air, and then swayed from side to side, causing ripples of silver-white light to spread through the air.
The invisible and intangible power of time circled around Tang Wulin, forming a dynamic scene of time reversing behind him.
Shi Xing, along with Wu Changkong and Long Bing, witnessed the entire process of the Evil Soul Master incident through this time-reversed scene.
Tang Wulin was not drawn to the scene behind him, because there was something more attractive in front of him.
What did I see? Nine spirit rings were swirling around the old man, a symbol of a Title Douluo, but what were the colors of the spirit rings...?
Tang Wulin thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but there was still no change.
The uncle's nine spirit rings were only two colors: red and orange-gold.
There are six red spirit rings and three orange-gold spirit rings...
The Spirit Pagoda's Soul Manual states that a 100,000-year-old soul spirit can provide a soul master with five soul rings, while a ferocious beast soul spirit can provide a soul master with six soul rings.
With six red and three orange-gold soul rings, this uncle has at least two 100,000-year soul spirits and one ferocious beast soul spirit.
Tang Wulin was shocked—was this really the director of the FBI? He was truly terrifying!
In comparison, Deputy Director Nanali's spirit ring configuration is much inferior. The four black and five red rings that amazed him this morning seem to be nothing special compared to the spirit ring configuration that the director is currently using.
"Chief, have you made any discoveries?"
Nanali asked, "Outsiders like us can only see the scene of time flowing backward, but as the one who activates the soul skill, Shi Xing can perceive more through his own martial soul."
Shi Xing shook his head regretfully.
In fact, he discovered the hawksbill turtle hidden in the shadows, but this was likely related to His Majesty the God's plan, so he couldn't just reveal it.
"Perhaps the key to the answer lies in..."
Shi Xing suddenly had an electronically printed document in his hand: "Tang Ziran was once a resident of the Star Luo Empire. When he was a child, he immigrated to the Federation with his family. Young Tang Ziran had no parents, and the family patriarch who took over his guardianship helped prepare the immigration procedures."
"To uncover the truth behind this incident, we need to understand Tang Ziran's past in the Star Luo Empire."
