The appearance of Eryue Weicheng gave the guardians, who were originally without a leader, a backbone. Everyone in the conference room expressed their opinions, and soon, the next action plan was finalized.
Looking at the calm figure in the main seat, everyone was not as nervous as when they first heard the news. The guardian organization was like a sophisticated and efficient instrument, running smoothly again. Everyone knew what they needed to do next, so they immediately took action as soon as the meeting ended.
However, the secretary-like woman did not leave like the others. When she and Eryue Weicheng were the only ones left in the conference room, she hesitated before saying, "About Locus, I actually have a guess …"
"I know," Eryue Weicheng did not look up. After the meeting ended, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the WeChat message his wife sent him an hour ago. "Locus is Simon's father."
"Ah."
"I actually had my suspicions for a long time, mainly because Simon went to Ireland during his vacation. Locus's IP address was also in Ireland. After suspecting him, I asked someone to check his resume. As he was a researcher, he kept changing places with the projects he was working on. The places he had been to were not too far away from Locus's previous IP address," Eryue Weicheng said. "So, I can basically confirm that he is Locus.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you," the secretary-like woman said in admiration. "I only found out that Locus had taken three elite squads away from us. Yesterday, one of our men secretly sent me a message. Only then did I know that they had entered the mountain. That's how I started to suspect the relationship between Locus and Zhang Heng."
The secretary-like woman then asked again, "Do we need to do anything to him?"
"Do what?" Eryue Weicheng asked rhetorically, "I said a long time ago that Locus is just a researcher. He founded the guardians. Well, he probably had the idea of protecting his son at that time, but he doesn't know how to run and maintain an organization. Before I took over the guardians, it was just a place for a group of incompetent people to vent their anger. Locus has neither the ability nor the will to control the guardians."
Eryue Weicheng paused. "But I have to admit that he has a deep understanding of supernatural powers. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for the Deicide bullets to come out so quickly. Of course, we have provided a lot of help to his research over the years. We helped him capture whichever god he wanted, and we provided him with whatever materials he wanted.
"I wanted to find him because I valued his research ability, and I hoped to recruit him into the guardians. But now it seems that he is not the same kind of person as us. He doesn't care about the fate of humans at all. He is just doing it for his son. He is an extremely selfish person, but he is a qualified father."
Eryue Weicheng shook his head, "He will not help us deal with the Lord of R 'yleh. Even if he knows that his son is dead, he will not do anything as long as the body belongs to his son."
"It's a pity," the woman who looked like a secretary said regretfully.
"It is a pity, but he has already given us the research idea of the Deicide bullets. We just need to continue to upgrade it. Humans may not be able to live forever, but they can continue to research and learn. This is our most powerful weapon. When this is over, it won't be long before we can kill those gods," Eryue Weicheng said.
"I will follow you forever until that day comes," the woman who looked like a secretary said respectfully.
However, after she left, Yue Yue Weicheng was the only one left in the conference room. However, he no longer looked as if he had everything under control. Yue Yue Weicheng sat in the empty room with a frown. His straight back seemed a little hunched.
He then picked up the phone on the table and clicked on the WeChat message that his wife had sent him. It was a photo of his daughter sleeping in bed. Eryue Weicheng looked at it for another half a minute before typing a reply.
[I have a business deal to discuss here. I will be on a business trip for a while. I will try to come back as soon as possible.]
…
Shen Xixi chased after the smell of blood all the way to the hillside. The cruel scene in front of her made her lose her mind.
The trees, the ground, and the rocks were covered in blood and minced meat as far as the eye could see. It was as if they had stepped into a slaughterhouse. There were no survivors left in the area covered in red. Even the plants had withered. The abnormality here had even affected the surrounding areas.
On the way here, Shen Xixi and the others had seen more than once animals behaving abnormally. The wild rabbit, who was afraid of humans, acted as if it didn't see them. It was circling on the ground as if it was drunk. Two squirrels were fighting wildly, and their skin was badly bitten. There was also a wild boar, slamming its head against the tree trunk in front of it as if it had a vendetta against the tree.
"Oh my god!" Rabbit was so scared that her face turned pale. She had experienced many big scenes with Shen Xixi, but none of them left such a deep impression on her. Earlier, she scoffed at the idea of a new apocalypse, but now, she only felt a chill down her spine.
Before Shen Xixi could say anything, they heard gunshots coming from afar. All three of them knew that the three major guilds had organized a team to deal with Zhang Heng. In fact, if it weren't for Shen Xixi's relationship with Zhang Heng, she would have been invited as well. If they were not mistaken, the gunshots should have come from the search team.
So the three of them looked at each other and ran to the place where the gunshots came from without stopping. When they arrived at the pool, the gunshots had become much less frequent. At first, the three of them thought that they were fighting Zhang Heng, but when they came here, they realized that Zhang Heng was nowhere to be seen. To be more precise, there was no one else here.
The players in the camp were now fighting with the air, and they looked more terrified than the other. It was as if they were at a critical moment of life and death. Shen Xixi tried to stop a player who was closer to them, but before she could reach him, she saw the man waving the dagger in his hand and stabbing it in a frenzy. What shocked the three even more was that the man did not hesitate to stab the dagger into his stomach, cutting open his lower abdomen.
Then, he pulled out his own intestines. Seeing this scene, Rabbit couldn't hold it in anymore. He held onto a rock and vomited violently.
