# Chapter 1568: The Last Straw

Reya's expression was gloomy: "Lord Igor used the Star Gate to bring the Pupil Race and the Star-Devouring Giant Worm over here, the Moonless Plan's scope is too massive!"

"It alarmed the high-level Sacred Law Council, so he went back to accept an investigation. He's not here at the moment, but of course, all of this was within Lord Igor's expectations!"

"After all, he needed to go back and prepare properly anyway. This plan is mainly being handled by me and my brother!"

Quinn raised an eyebrow, showing a contemplative expression!

(͡°ก͡°) "Oh? Lord Igor went back? Indeed, after laying out the groundwork for so long, it's about time to wrap things up!"

"Then why have you come to me? With the energy the Holy Star currently holds, the Moonless Plan should be a sure thing. There shouldn't be much need to worry!"

Reya said irritably: (✡・᷄~・᷅) "I can't contact my brother. This time the human faction alliance is coming in full force, and I can't help but feel uneasy!"

"The reason I came to you is to find out the complete plan of the human faction's counteroffensive!"

"As the meeting leader, you should know the action details better than anyone, right?"

Quinn frowned: "Is it necessary to go this far? I don't think the human coalition can win the counteroffensive!"

"Once I leak the detailed plan to you, the Holy Star's actions will take every step first. The Dao Heaven leaders in the human faction will inevitably notice something is wrong! Then suspicion and distrust will arise!"

"It will increase my risk of exposure. I've been hiding all this time, not to be used here!"

"This shouldn't be Lord Igor's intention, it's your personal wish, right? Sorry, I can't give you the plan!"

Reya's momentum weakened, then she said urgently: "I'm asking you for the plan and you won't give it to me? Aren't you just helping the humans fight their counteroffensive like this? Then what use are you to us?"

Quinn's expression didn't change, but there seemed to be blazing fire burning in his eyes!

"You know very well what role I will play! Once the Moonless Plan is completed, Blue Star falls into darkness, society collapses, the system crumbles, despair descends, but humanity won't just give up!"

"I am human! So I understand humans better. They will completely unite in despair, band together as one, and fight back recklessly amidst the ruins!"

"They'll fight to the death for a slim hope, choosing to give up their lives rather than become lowly slave species! Because they refuse to give up pursuing hope!"

"And my role is that when humanity counterattacks in despair, I will transform into a sharp blade as the leader, stabbing deep into their hearts from behind!"

"Kill their faith, destroy their hope! Make humanity fall into the abyss forever with no way out! Only then will humanity willingly become slave species, and Blue Star truly become a Star Ruins! Understand?"

"To kill a man, you must kill his spirit!"

And these words were spoken calmly by Quinn, as if they had nothing to do with him, cold like a machine!

Reya couldn't even sense any emotional fluctuation from Quinn!

"But I'm just asking you for the plan, I..."

Quinn squinted: "My role is the last straw that breaks the human will. The time is far from ripe!"

"If I get exposed because of this, then what was the point of me walking on thin ice all these years?"

"Having me do this now, providing help for the Moonless Plan, isn't that like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"

"Even if Lord Igor were here, he wouldn't agree to activate me now. It's not that I'm disobeying the Holy Star's orders. I'm just rationally analyzing the situation and making the best choice!"

Reya was rendered speechless, but still unwilling to give up!

"Just help me this once! Consider it a favor from me, alright? We also want to do the Moonless Plan well, and don't want to be criticized by Lord Igor!"

Quinn rubbed his forehead: (ノ)⇀‸↼) "Then what if I get exposed? Do you think everyone in the world is stupid?"

"I ordered people to make the meeting record, and even Jiangnan was on guard against me. This guy is very shrewd!"

Reya quickly spoke up: "If I'm asking you to help, of course I've made preparations! Toru has also been absorbed by the Holy Star!"

"Even if you leak the plan to me and the human faction detects a mole, Toru can be the scapegoat to take the blame!"

"He can completely become your sacrificial lamb, protecting your identity from being exposed! Consider it insurance!"

Quinn frowned deeply, pretending to be in thought!

(¬ก¬) "Toru, huh? If so, then when the action plan gets exposed, it can indeed be pushed onto him..."

After hesitating for a long time, Quinn finally agreed!

"Just this once!"

As he spoke, he pulled out over a thousand pages of meeting records from the cabinet and threw them on the table!

Reya was overjoyed: (✡ớꇴờ) "Thank you!"

So she quickly stepped forward and started flipping through them, but just after a few pages, the expression on Reya's face froze!

(ꐦ꒪皿꒪) "Hey hey hey! Quinn, are you doing this on purpose? How come this page is all swear words? And several pages are?"

Quinn lit another cigarette: "This is the entire content of the meeting. Not a single word missing, all here!"

Reya didn't believe it and flipped through page by page, turning pages like the wind, speed-reading, taking a full ten-plus minutes to go from beginning to end!

The more she read, the darker her face became!

What is this?

80% is all profanity, with Jiangnan swearing the most. It even made Reya feel a sense of anger as if she were being cursed at herself!

[From Reya: Resentment +1001!]
[From...]

(ꐦ°᷄口°᷅) "Son of a frog! This is all the meeting content? There's not a single bit of useful stuff! Isn't this no different from what that idiot Toru said?"

"Tomcat's tail! What the hell use is this?"

Quinn's mouth twitched. Was Reya always talking like this before?

(︶ก︶‧̣̥) "Cough... Jiangnan was on guard. The core plan wasn't really discussed much in the meeting!"

Reya put her hands on her hips: "This is really taking a dump in the latrine and doing a triple jump — over the line! How can this work?"

"Quinn? You better not let me come all the way here for nothing!"

Quinn: (°ー°〃) ...

She even uses Chinese idioms now? What kind of weird stuff is recorded in this meeting record bible?

Even an alien gets corrupted after reading it?

"I've set up quite a few Discipline Officers and members of the Sun Peace Force as monitors for the operations. The specific actions from each side will be reported to me!"

"If anything particularly major comes up, I'll send you a message..."

Reya gritted her teeth: "Tsk... Use this for communication then! I guess it'll have to do for now!"

With that, she also stuffed a colorful snail shell at Quinn, and her entire figure disappeared from the room!

She had to go to the moon and share information with Ruisen, reminding him to be more careful and prepare countermeasures!

Seeing Reya leave, Quinn hid the snail shell and returned to his desk!

Just as he picked up the documents, he noticed the two cigarette butts in the ashtray...

"Purify!"

In an instant, a blazing golden flame ignited in the room, completely without temperature!

In the blink of an eye, there was no trace left of Reya having ever been there. The cigarette butts were burned into nothingness!

Even the slight creases that had just been made on the pages of the thousand-page swear word bible were smoothed out!

Everything was restored to its previous state. Quinn continued processing documents, frowning, worried about the various operations and the current situation of humanity, thinking of countermeasures!

As if nothing had just happened...

...

In Bailey Impact Crater, Jiangnan was stunned!

Reya's resentment value? Why is this treasure-giving woman giving me points again?

She's not trying to mess with me, is she?

No way, no way! I need to be on guard!

(*•́₃•̀) "La... Lakuntasa Habadula, du (tongue trill~) la du la~"

Jiangnan rubbed Qian Benying's head with satisfaction!

(๑ớ₃ờ)ھ "Not bad, not bad! You're learning pretty fast, but no reward!"

Qian Benying pouted: (¬₃¬) "Bang bang bo~"

Jiangnan glared: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Oh? You learned how to curse? Daring to curse your boss? You've got guts, huh?"

With that, he rushed over and started drilling his knuckles into Qian Benying's temples!

Qian Benying: !!!

୧(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๑)୨ "I'm cracking! I'm going to crack! Stop it!"

At this moment, Jiangnan and the others were squatting in the crater learning the Northern Crown common language!

Waiting for Rokuka and the others to arrive!

Miyazaki and Musashi had already started cursing each other out, and even Zhang San had learned! Qian Benying was the fastest learner!

As for Freya?

She was currently off to the side trying to trill her tongue!

(。งᵒ̌3ᵒ̌)ง.・゚゚・*⁂ "Tu la tu la~"

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it right. Every time she tried to trill, she sprayed saliva!

After a while, the lunar soil in front of Freya was already drenched with drool...

(O`~´) "Bah! I'm not learning this crap! I'll just not talk, alright?"

Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "Pretty?"

Zhang San looked smitten: (ૢ⁼̴﹃⁼̴) "Ehe~ ehehe~ Pretty!"

Jiangnan: (≖_≖) "Traded for intelligence!"

Just then, a cloud of dust kicked up in the distance of Bailey Impact Crater!

It was Nightingale leading the way, with Hoshino Buki, Rokuka, and Takahashi Makoto charging over at full speed!

On top of Nightingale's head lay a pocket rabbit!

It was looking around in confusion!

(O・`~・´) "Didn't they say there was a secret mission, that we were to rendezvous with a guerrilla unit here? Where are the people?"

Miyazaki's face darkened: "Great, if we're not careful, our side just got wiped out?"

They brought Hoshino Buki over too?

Boss Jiang really doesn't value his employees' lives!

Qian Benying was full of excitement!

٩(๑˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)۶ "Yaha! Rokuka-chan! Haven't seen you for a few days, let me see if you've gotten fat?"

With that, Qian Benying did a flying leap, circled behind Rokuka, and reached out to grab her chest!

At that moment, Rokuka shuddered and let out a terrified scream!

(☍﹏⁰。) "Pe... pervert! What the hell is this? Don't squeeze anymore! Do perverts like this exist on the moon too?"

Even Nightingale and Takahashi Makoto stared in horror at the deformed Rokuka!

Talk about seeing a ghost! But this ghost sure was lucky, huh?

Meanwhile, Jiangnan wiped the lipstick off his hand and grinned!

Nightingale, who was completely confused, finally noticed Jiangnan standing right in front of her!

∑(°口°๑) "Shit! Stinky Jiangnan? Aren't you supposed to be on Blue Star handling the core with a bunch of Dao Heaven? How did you end up here?"

Meeting up with Jiangnan was the secretary-general's mysterious mission?

Jiangnan chuckled: (๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "You're here? Alright! Counting you four, that makes five of us. Everyone's here. Time to start causing trouble!"

Zhang San raised his hand: (≖_≖)ツ Right here!

Jiangnan's forehead dripped with sweat: (乛ㅂ乛‧̣̥̇) "Ahaha~ Oops, I miscounted. Six, six!"
"Look how careless I am!"

At this moment, Zhang San felt like a giant "danger" sign was rising above his head!

Six is still wrong, dammit!

You forgot again in the time it takes to fart?

As for Nightingale, she was even more confused!

What nonsense! Counting you, that's only five! Where is the sixth person?
