Chapter 1905
Video Fermentation
"Do nothing, yet accomplish everything." Jinian nodded. "That's not a bad direction."
"How's your wartime preparation going?" Chloe紧接着 asked. "With such a large population in Great Xia, if something unexpected really happens, it would be a catastrophe for ordinary citizens."
"The implementation of the 'Project Winter' is already more than halfway complete." Lin Qiye looked up at Jinian. "Speaking of which, we still need your help."
"Me?" Jinian pointed at himself in bewilderment.
"That's right. There are some things in this world that only you can do..."
"Stop! Hold it! No need to say more. Just tell me what needs to be done."
Lin Qiye: ...
...
By the time Jinian and Chloe walked out of the office, it was already dusk.
Jinian walked out with a long face, glancing back at the office door resentfully. "I'm Jinian, the head of the Oath Society, yet I've actually been reduced to doing black-market work... What a sin."
With Jinian's endless sighs, the two figures disappeared down the end of the corridor.
Inside the office.
"The Ancestral God said... you are the will of this universe?" The Fate Monk's face, which normally never showed any expression, actually displayed a hint of shock.
"That's right." Lin Qiye nodded. "They're most likely referring to that little boy... If we can borrow his power, perhaps this war will become much easier."
"How do we borrow it? By dying once?"
"That method probably won't work. Last time, he clearly stated it would be the last time he helped me."
The Fate Monk furrowed his brows, paced around the office for a moment, then spoke thoughtfully: "So... the key to winning this game might still lie with you..."
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment.
"I want to go to the depths of the universe."
"The depths of the universe?"
"Don't you find it strange? The will of the universe, the Ancestral Gods, why are they all on Earth? Also, when the Cthulhu Faction gods invaded two thousand years ago, they also appeared as red stars, which means they came from some corner of the universe as well..."
Lin Qiye paused. "An Qingyu also hinted that if we only focus on the chess game itself, we can never win. The thing that truly affects the game is outside the board... If the chess game he's referring to is the Earth battlefield, then 'outside the board' might mean the universe?"
"The focus is on the universe... But we only have at most one month until the estimated time of the final battle. After all, the Cthulhu Faction won't let the Ancestral Gods recover their full strength." The Fate Monk said seriously. "The universe is infinitely vast. If you go there, can you make it back in time?"
Lin Qiye was silent for a long while before finally shaking his head.
"I don't know."
Then he continued, "However, I will leave the Seraph's clone on Earth. My true body hasn't achieved godhood anyway, and I can't control two bodies simultaneously in combat, so I wouldn't be much help in the final battle anyway. If Earth goes to war, I can control the Seraph's clone to fight."
The Fate Monk glanced at the Seraph's clone in the corner. After a moment of hesitation, he said:
"That's the only way... When do you plan to leave?"
"...Tomorrow." Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, his expression somewhat complicated. "Before I go, I want to visit one more place..."
...
Cangnan City.
The Peace Agency.
"Hongying sis! Hongying sis!!!"
Hurried footsteps came from the distance. Jia Shasha rushed to Hongying's side, clutching a tablet.
"What's wrong... making such a big fuss?" Hongying, who had been dozing on the sofa, lazily yawned. "A new agency commission, or has some 'Mystery' appeared?"
"Neither! Hongying sis, you have to see this!"
Jia Shasha shoved the tablet into Hongying's face. A news video began playing, with densely packed bullet comments covering the screen.
Hongying frowned. "What's this thing? Why do I only see comments?"
Jia Shasha flipped around and turned off the bullet comments, then enlarged a certain frame of the video. Her voice became solemn: "Hongying sis, look at this person... Doesn't he look like Commander Lin?"
Upon hearing the words "Commander Lin," all traces of drowsiness vanished from Hongying's face. She widened her eyes, practically pressing the tablet screen against her cheeks, examining it frame by frame.
A moment later, she slapped her thigh!
"It's him! That's definitely him! Qimo... Wen Qimo!! Stop cooking and come here right now!!"
At Hongying's excited cry, Wen Qimo, still wearing an apron, hurried out of the kitchen, puzzled. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Look at this! Who is this?!"
Wen Qimo took the tablet and studied it carefully. His brow slightly rose.
"Lin Qiye?"
"Right? This has to be him!"
"This kid... why does he have wings on his back?"
"This video is exploding all over the internet right now! Everyone's saying it's a deity descending to earth, and that the mist dispersion was also a miracle he created... Of course, some say it's a composited video. Either way, it's extremely hot."
"Don't say it, Qiye does look pretty handsome in this state..." Hongying, as if she hadn't heard Jia Shasha's description, kept enlarging the six-winged figure. The screen was practically reduced to pixelated blocks.
"Hongying sis, are you even listening to me? I feel like a lot of things are about to come to light!" Jia Shasha's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Do you think... someday, the existence of the Night Watch will be revealed to the world? My parents would be so happy! They've been thinking I've been working construction outside this whole time!"
"Young people, don't be so excited... Be steady like me." As Hongying said this, she opened the bullet comments and read through them one by one.
【卧槽！这是天使吗？感觉跟传说中的一模一样啊？】 -【WTF! Is this an angel? Looks exactly like the legends!】
【什么天使，别瞎说，这分明就是东方人的面孔！他是从大夏境内飞出去的，应该是我大夏的神明！】 -【What angel, don't talk nonsense. This is clearly an Eastern face! He flew out from within Great Xia, so he should be our Great Xia deity!】
【好帅啊……虽然只有半张脸，但是感觉真的好帅！】 -【So handsome... even though it's only half his face, he really is so handsome!】
【别说女生了，我一个糙男人都觉得帅啊！这羽翼，这金色的瞳孔，这斗篷……啧啧啧】 -【I'm not even a girl but even I, a rough guy, think he's handsome! Those wings, those golden pupils, that cloak...啧啧啧】
【兄弟，我就是男的】 -【Bro, I am a guy though】
【……】 -【...】
【有没有太太能根据这个画张正脸的？我想拿来当电脑壁纸！】 -【Can any artists draw a front-facing portrait based on this? I want to use it as my desktop wallpaper!】
The bullet comments were densely stacked together. Hongying's grin stretched almost from ear to ear. She immediately opened the input box, typed something furiously, and hit send.
——【实话告诉你，他见到我，也得喊我一声姐（#得意）】 -【Honestly, if he met me, he'd still have to call me sis (#smug)】
In the next instant, a neat formation of bullet comments followed right behind Hongying's:
【实不相瞒，他见到我，也得喊我一声老婆】 -【Honestly, if he met me, I'd make him call me wife】
【实不相瞒，他见到我，我直接跪下来给他磕一个】 -【Honestly, if he met me, I'd just kneel down and kowtow to him】
【……】 -【...】
