"Forget what happened today. I promise I won't say a word." Li Xianyu's sharp gaze swept across the Wu family. "If you can do it, you can return to the northeast today and make it in time for the reunion dinner. If you can't, I'll lock you all up in the Demon Sealing Tower. Don't even think about coming out. "
"We can do it, we can do it …" Wu Ding and the elders nodded repeatedly, as fast as a chick pecking rice.
Li Xianyu nodded. "I trust your character. Thank you for your cooperation this time. After returning to the northeast, I hope you can find relevant records. If there are any, send them to the northeast branch."
With that, he left with Dharmaraja and Great-grandmother. They took a special elevator to the first floor, then changed to a regular elevator, and arrived at Dharmaraja's office.
He hadn't seen the secretary for more than half a month. Her face was slightly rounder, and she was sitting on the leather sofa with a parenting book on her knees. She was quiet and gentle like a mature woman.
The electric kettle was boiling, and dense steam was rising.
"Coffee or tea?" the secretary asked.
"Orange juice!" Li Xianyu answered instinctively.
"Okay!"
The secretary used the freshly boiled water to make a cup of coffee and a cup of green tea. She also poured a cup of orange juice from the fridge. She brought them to Dharmaraja, Great-grandmother, and Li Xianyu.
How virtuous! Li Xianyu picked up the orange juice and took a sip, feeling envious.
He was the younger brother, the grandson, the cat slave, the ATM, and the adopted son. He was the only one who wasn't a master.
Although he could ask San Wu to serve him, there was no point in bullying a tool. You wouldn't be able to enjoy being a master.
"Go out for a while. We need to talk business." Dharmaraja waved his hand.
The secretary nodded, left the office, and closed the door.
"What's going on?" Dharmaraja's tone was serious and urgent. "What are you talking about down there?"
"It's a long story." Li Xianyu pondered for a moment and told Dharmaraja about Dorgon in the simplest language.
"So that's how it is. Hiss, someone from the 17th century became an ancient demon?" Dharmaraja gasped. "What kind of secret is this?
Double S? Triple S? I feel that even I don't have the authority or qualification to know. "
After a moment of thought, he came to his senses. "The Wu family cannot leave. Such important information must not be leaked. We must imprison them in the Demon Sealing Tower. "
"No, it's not as important as you think." Li Xianyu didn't take it seriously. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him go so easily."
"What do you mean?" Dharmaraja frowned.
"Even if we know the existence of the regent, we can't find him through this clue. In other words, even though today's discovery seemed shocking, it wasn't that important. At most, we'll know who our opponent is. "
Therefore, it was best for the Wu Family to keep it a secret. If they couldn't, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
"Speaking of which, if we encounter a very fatal bottleneck in our operation." Great-grandmother frowned and lowered her head. She stepped on Li Xianyu's toes again and again. This was like a girlfriend unconsciously teasing her boyfriend, but she didn't realize it herself.
"We can't find them at all," she said.
Ancient demons were too good at hiding. In the vast sea of people, it was very difficult to find a single existence in a country with a population of 1.4 billion. And they definitely didn't leave behind things like identification.
The human government popularized real-name authentication, required identification when traveling, and installed surveillance cameras on every street and building in the city. These were all to solve the above problems.
However, ancient demons were powerful and couldn't track them like ordinary people. Therefore, finding ancient demons in the vast sea of people was as difficult as the police in the last century tracking escaped murderers.
It was almost impossible.
"I have a few ideas." Li Xianyu tapped his fingers on the table. "First, investigate all the high-level forces in the Blood Kin World. Second, carry out a simple investigation on all the registered bloodline descendants and find out if there are any new forces that have recently appeared. Third, release the news that the fruit has ripened. "
The reason why the Poisonous Tail Ruler's whereabouts were exposed was because of the Soul Extermination Alliance and the Divine Society. In other words, unless the ancient demons did nothing and hid peacefully, Li Xianyu couldn't do anything to them.
As long as they wanted to do something, they would definitely be exposed.
"I don't think it's possible." Dharmaraja frowned. "The investigation of the higher-ups of the Blood Kin World already requires the approval of the board of directors. Moreover, it is destined to be impossible to act secretly. It will definitely get out. Once it gets out, even if there are really problems among them, there will be enough time to destroy the evidence and deal with it. As for investigating the low-level blood kin, the proportion of blood kin compared to ordinary people is very low. However, the population base of China is so large, and the number of blood kin is far beyond our imagination. This work is time-consuming and not very realistic. As for the fruit, how do you know that the ancient demons don't have the means to predict it? Fake news may not be able to deceive them. "
"Yes, that's why it's difficult." Li Xianyu rubbed his eyebrows. "The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. I can only wait for them to make a move first. Otherwise, I can't play at all. That's why I chose to subdue the black dragon instead of killing it. "
However, this was too passive. First, it was not sure if Dorgon really valued the black dragon and would take the risk for it. Secondly, with the ancient demons' intelligence and strength, once they made a move, they would probably be killed with a thunderous force.
The situation was not good.
Dharmaraja thought for a while. "We can also start with the Wu family. Since they are of Dorgon's bloodline, the entire Wu family is a hostage."
Great-grandmother sneered. "Stupid. He was indifferent to the destruction of the Qing court."
"The Wu family may not be the descendants of Dorgon." Li Xianyu also shook his head. The ancient demons could not give birth to children, but Dorgon was not the real ruler. Although he had merged with the remains of the ancient demons, it was hard to say whether he could give birth to children without solid evidence.
Even if the Wu family really was of Dorgon's bloodline, he might not care. The Wu family's existence was just a laboratory built for a certain period of time.
After the war slaves went out of control, his research failed and never appeared again.
The Wu family's puppets were different from the war slaves. This was the best evidence. Dorgon had long given up on this laboratory.
"I thought of something very important," Great-grandmother said seriously.
Li Xianyu and Dharmaraja immediately sat up straight.
"If the Wu family is the descendants of Dorgon, does that mean that Zhanhime is of Dorgon's bloodline?" Great-grandmother slammed the table. "Break up immediately!"
You are using your position for personal gain and giving me an excuse to abolish the empress. Li Xianyu did not want to talk to Great-grandmother and turned the back of his head to her.
"Until now, you still haven't found the fruit's whereabouts?" Dharmaraja frowned.
Great-grandmother and Li Xianyu fell silent at the same time.
The fruit was in Li Xianyu's body. This was a secret that no one could reveal. Although it could successfully attract the ancient demons, it was equivalent to the prelude to the final battle.
Li Xianyu, who was half a step into Extreme Grade, could not guarantee that he could survive. In fact, there was a high chance that he could not survive.
The most suitable thing for him was to find the ancient demons one by one and kill them. Just like how he dealt with the Poisoned Tail Ruler.
But this was a bottleneck.
"Speaking of which, what's going on with our big boss?" Li Xianyu said helplessly, "Is he a human or a demon? Give me a definite answer. I don't see the board of directors paying much attention."
"Normally, it would be fine as long as the sword of qi slashes." Dharmaraja said, "But I heard that big boss has the sword of qi, so using the sword of qi to verify his identity won't work."
Li Xianyu had an idea. "Ancient demons can't give birth. I remember big boss has a family, right?"
Dharmaraja said helplessly, "Big boss's wife hasn't given birth yet."
"What about illegitimate children?"
"Huh?"
"Huh? Isn't illegitimate children basic? We're all men. "
"That's true. I can propose it to the board of directors when I have time," Dharmaraja said, "but you don't have to hold too much hope."
"Huh?"
"Big boss is locked in a small black room, and two-thirds of the board of directors voted in favor. This is not only because his identity is in doubt, but also a chance for the board of directors to divide Bosch and weaken big boss. As Bosch 'unifies' the Bloodline World, our company's reputation and status will reach a peak. With the external threat gone, won't the next step be internal strife? "
"Since ancient times, all institutions of power can't avoid the same pattern."
"The board of directors' approach is actually correct. In this era, one's word cannot be the law. Otherwise, how is it different from an emperor? On the surface, big boss doesn't seem to care about matters, but in fact, Bosch has the final say. This kind of system is destined to not last long. It's fine if there's a wise ruler, but if the next one is an incompetent one, the dynasty will quickly fall apart. "
"That's true, but to have internal strife and fight for power at this time …" Li Xianyu sighed. "Humans are both wise and smart, but also short-sighted and stupid."
If big boss was innocent, then as long as he was persuaded to stand on the opposite side of the Ancient Demon, their chances of winning would increase exponentially.
A Ji Dao who wielded the Sword of Qi was a threat to the Ancient Demon even more than Great-grandmother.
"Right, is there another Ancient Demon that hasn't entered our line of sight?" Great-grandmother suddenly said.
Ice Slag, Qing Shi, Slime, Evolution Flesh, Succubus, Poison Tail, True Dragon (Dorgon), Pope.
A total of eight.
But there were nine Ancient Demons.
There was another one. Where was the other Ancient Demon? Who was it?
"Dharmaraja, bring me the information from Pantheon Palace's investigation." Li Xianyu narrowed his eyes and thought of the existence that he had neglected.
These kinds of confidential files would not be stored in a computer. They were usually stored in two ways: in a paper file or in a special USB drive.
The latter would not be connected to any computer connected to the Internet.
Dharmaraja personally went to the archives department, used his authority to retrieve the information, and returned to the office.
Li Xianyu tore open the seal on the file bag and poured the information inside on the table.
He directly ignored the written records and focused on the photos of the murals.
He found the Ancient Demon that he had missed very quickly. There was only a mural about it. In the mural, there was a huge eye and nothing else.
An eye?
A huge eyeball?
Li Xianyu fell into deep thought.
The eye was the image of the Ancient Demon. No, although Ancient Demons were perfect creatures, they were still creatures. It was impossible for their main body to be an eye. From a biological point of view, this was impossible.
Then, did the eye symbolize its authority?
But why did the other Ancient Demons appear in their main bodies on the mural, but this one was an authority?
"The comic I saw in Pantheon Palace didn't seem to have the appearance of this huge eyeball. What happened? Was it deliberately erased? "
Due to the lack of clues, Li Xianyu could not think of a reason. So far, all the Ancient Demons had traces left behind. Only this one's information was blank. It seemed to have never appeared in the field of vision of humans.
"I'll ask Ice Flake next time I see her. There's no way she doesn't know about her old opponent." Li Xianyu put the information back into the file bag and handed it back to Dharmaraja.
It was 5: 30 p.m. when he left Dharmaraja's office.
The sky was already dark.
Li Xianyu went to Zhanhime's room to look, but he could not find her. Cui Hua was not there either. No one picked up his call. He asked Sanwu, but Sanwu naturally would not care about the whereabouts of a chicken and a cat.
When he asked the colleagues on duty at the company, he found out that the cat and the chicken had gone to the training room to fight.
Li Xianyu and Great-grandmother agreed that the chicken had no chance of winning because the cat was a top S-class. Moreover, both of their abilities were speed domains, so there was no ability restraint.
When he went to the training room to take a look, the chicken was indeed being chased by the cat, but the cat could not catch up to the chicken. The two figures flickered and moved at an extremely fast speed in the spacious room. Occasionally, they would fight, but Zhanhime could not hold on for long and would escape. Then the cat chased after her.
"It's the airflow!" Great-grandmother's eyes were sharp. "The air in the room is not circulating, which limits Cui Hua's speed. She is a spirit of the wind. And Thunder Zhanhime's speed does not rely on the wind, so she maintains her best state. "
"Well, Cui Hua's fighting skills are a little worse." Li Xianyu commented. "In terms of fighting skills, Zhanhime is a professional. She raised me. "
While watching the fight and chatting, Li Xianyu's phone rang. It was his adoptive mother.
"Mom, I'll be right back. There's a traffic jam on the way …" Li Xianyu subconsciously found an excuse.
"What does a traffic jam have to do with you? You don't have a car." His adoptive mother said in a bad mood, "Hurry up and come back. Your sister and I have made dumplings and are waiting for you to come home to eat."
Ice Flake is back?
"She's at home?" Li Xianyu was shocked.
"Yes, she even brought a friend," his adoptive mother said with a smile.
No, Ice Flake won't go home. If I were Gu Yao, I would send someone to keep an eye on his adoptive mother. Ice Flake would definitely not make a mistake at this time.
The more indifferent she appeared to her adoptive mother, the safer she would be.
"I'll be right back. Mom, wait for me." Li Xianyu hung up the phone, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
