Chapter 361: Union

Zhang Hui walked out of the fog with a flashlight.

The moment he stepped out of the fog, he couldn’t help but touch his back.

His underwear was already soaked!

He was drenched in sweat!

“Only today do I know why the Ancients said that accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger…”

Recalling the experience just now, Zhang Hui couldn’t help but sigh.

That ancient god was so temperamental that no one could control him.

The contact just now had undoubtedly revealed these two characteristics of his.

But…

Fortunately, he had finally passed the danger.

Moreover, he had obtained his personal permission.

The research institute…

Recalling his final request or order, Zhang Hui felt his fingers tremble with excitement.

He knew what this meant?

It meant that the ancient God had come down personally.

He had been ordered to approve of the establishment of a research institution in this area. The training hall that had been radiated by him was a place with special effects!

After walking back to his car, Zhang Hui immediately pressed the communication device on the bullet train and took the initiative to use the Blackguard’s top-secret encrypted communication device to contact the imperial capital.

A moment later, the figure of the commander-in-chief appeared on a built-in screen in his car.

This commander-in-chief of the empire was apparently in seclusion in a quiet room deep in his mansion, hoping to break through to the next realm and open the door between that person and God.

“General Zhang…” Li Shouyi looked at Zhang Hui who did not hesitate to use this emergency communication device to directly contact him and asked, “You’ve already met that person?”

“Yes…” Zhang Hui took a deep breath and nodded.

“How is it?” Li Shouyi asked calmly.

Zhang Hui then told him about his experience just now.

As Li Shouyi listened, his expression gradually became solemn.

“It seems that…”a hint of caution flashed in his eyes. “He really wants to promote our technology…”

From the spirit language, the internal members of the Blackguard had already discussed this matter.

Now, Zhang Hui brought back a conclusion. He did indeed wish to promote the technology of the Federal Empire.

Psionic power, conventional…

Although they did not know his purpose, but…

No one would refuse.

Even if this was a poison wrapped in honey.

Whether it was the blackguard or the empire itself, they would not hesitate to swallow it!

Because…

The wave and concentration of the recovery of spirit aura was increasing day by day.

It was very likely that in the near future, the density of the spirit aura in the world would reach the density of the mythical grade.

It would allow the gods who could only rely on the artifacts, statues, churches, temples, and training halls to completely recover.

If that was the case, if the Blackguard did not follow, there would be no corresponding strength to counter it.

Then, all gods would descend, and the immortals would descend to the mortal world!

Who would this world belong to?

Mortals or Immortals?

Gods… were not good men and women!

At least, a large portion of them were not!

For example, the Nanyang evil god that was killed by Li Shouyi!

That was undoubtedly a madman!

He could fully recover by relying on blood sacrifices!

Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people!

It was also precisely because of this that Li Shouyi and the federal empire made up their minds to kill him at all costs!

Because if he did not die, the human civilization would die!

It was precisely because of this recklessness and decisiveness that Li Shouyi used his mortal body to kill the evil god, take its head, shatter its soul, and split its body into pieces. He was stationed in various places.

He would be completely nailed to death!

He would never be able to turn over a new leaf!

With this, all the awakened gods in the entire world were frightened and did not dare to act recklessly.

However, such intimidation could not last long.

As the density of the recovery of spirit aura continued to increase, the rate of recovery of the gods became faster and faster.

In the near future, it was very likely that there would be fully awakened gods.

At that time, it would not be possible to solve the problem with one’s life.

One had to have the same level of strength!

Strength that even surpassed them!

Only then could they be made to abide by the rules!

Thinking of this, Li Shouyi told Zhang Hui, “General, come and catch this matter personally…”

“I will ask song Shihui to cooperate with You!”

Zhang Hui nodded. He was a minister in the Royal Palace and had been mediating with various parties in the imperial capital all year round. It was most appropriate for him to manage and promote this matter.

“Strictly guard the Doors!” Li Shouyi thought for a moment and instructed, “Don’t let too many institutions move in at once…”

“In my opinion, the number of laboratories in the area shouldn’t be too many!”

“Especially the public institutions, it’s best not to have more than three…”

This was a decision made based on the latest intelligence brought back by Zhang Hui.

He didn’t like noise.

He wanted peace and quiet.

So, it was better not to make too much noise.

Try to maintain his current state as much as possible.

He had to give face.

“In addition… all laboratories, try to stay as far away from that alley as possible. At the very least, keep a safe distance!” Li Shouyi said, “This is to express our sincerity to him and also to consider safety…”

No one knew the details and scope of the world of fog.

They only knew that every night at a certain time.

That Street and alley would be cut into two different worlds by unknown strength.

True or false, false or real.

“I understand!” Zhang Hui nodded.

…

Ling Ping’an closed the door and pulled down the shutter.

“Sleep early…” he said, “I have to get up early tomorrow…”

Meow!

The kitten beside his feet meowed softly and took the initiative to lie down on the towel that he had prepared.

Ling Ping’an poured a plate of cat food for it and then turned off the lights.

He turned on the phone in his hand and hummed a little tune. Under the illumination of the phone light, he walked upstairs.

As he walked, he was also thinking about the investigator that night.

“I wonder if my opinion will be seen?” He thought that every citizen of the federation had their own ideas and opinions, the dream of being adopted by meat eaters.

Of course, everyone also understood that this was almost impossible.

In the 300 years of the Empire, the Datong Party and the Gonghe Party had tried almost every pose under the current conditions.

Just the thought theory alone had changed for several generations.

The current situation would not change unless there was a major change.

However, Ling Ping’an still had fantasies.

This was because this was a sensitive moment before the general election.

At this time, both the Datong Party and the Gonghe Party would come out and perform.

They would spread their opinions and listen to the public opinion. This was something that they would do.

Just like in the last general election, the Gonghe Party had sent people to set up Huabiao in all the cities of the federation to receive all the letters from the voters. They also organized a committee to review and process these letters.

As expected, they defeated the Datong Party in one fell swoop and obtained complete power.

“If my opinion is indeed accepted…” Ling Ping’an couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. “Then my brother can be considered to have contributed to the country!”

“I can continue to live in peace and wait for Death!”

With these thoughts in mind, the young bookstore owner walked to the bedroom, put on his clothes, and lay down. Soon, he fell asleep.

He didn’t have any dreams during the night.

When he woke up, it was already past eight o’clock.

Ling Ping’an washed up briefly and walked downstairs.

Meow!

The kitten, Bastet, was already waiting for him at the stairs. When it saw him, it immediately went up to him obediently and acted coquettishly.

Ling Ping’an carried it, opened the shop door, and bought breakfast next door.

Sitting at the counter, he ate tofu pudding and turned on the television.

It was the morning news time.

There was no big news today as usual.

Therefore, the news content was also very boring.

If the company hadn’t decided to go public.

Or if a certain celebrity was photographed having a night with a beauty.

But it was still good for dinner.

…

Ring, ring, ring…

The phone rang.

Zhang Hui looked at the caller ID.

“From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?” He picked up the phone suspiciously.

“Hmm?” He listened to the voice on the other end of the phone and frowned. “Is that so?”

“I’ll discuss it with my colleagues before giving an answer…”

Zhang Hui put down the phone and frowned even more.

Because…

The call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was related to his current job.

It was a request from Butania.

Butania’s most famous university, Cambridge, submitted an application to the federal empire through Butania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

They hoped to build a research institute together with Empire’s central university in Jiangcheng City.

Of course, what they said was very beautiful.

“Cambridge University and Empire’s Central University have a long and friendly relationship…”

“Next year, we will welcome our common colleague and best friend, the 350th anniversary of the birth of Grand Secretary Newton.”

So, “today, 350 years later, the two great universities will once again walk hand in hand towards a beautiful tomorrow.”

But the problem was..

“Jiangcheng City! ?” Zhang Hui sneered.

He understood that Britania also wanted a piece of the pie!

And they couldn’t wait for it.

Would it be accurate?

Zhang Hui thought about it, but he couldn’t make up his mind. So, he edited a text message and sent it to the commander-in-chief in his communication column.

After a moment, he received a reply: Yes!

Zhang Hui didn’t understand why the commander-in-chief agreed so quickly?

Since ancient times, the Blackguard had been advocating public discussion.

If there were problems or opinions, they would communicate directly in person and wouldn’t avoid it.

Usually, the Blackguard would have a group discussion on many matters.

All the generals could raise their own questions and opinions.

As for the relevant decisions, the minority would follow the principle of the majority.

Generally speaking, on minor issues, the majority would decide.

As for important decisions, they were important decisions.

They had to obtain an absolute majority!

Only when more than 70% of the generals agreed would it be effective.

Of course, as the commander-in-chief, Li Shouyi had the key decision-making power.

He could forcefully pass the decision.

But, such a decision could not be forced on those who disagreed.

The relevant personnel also had the right to refuse to carry out the orders.

Hence, the generals of the blackguard usually communicated very frequently.

On many matters, they would communicate with each other and discuss as much as possible.

Since the establishment of the Blackguard, there had never been a precedent for the commander-in-chief to use the crucial decision-making power.

This time was no exception.

Zhang Hui directly called him.

“Commander-in-chief…” After the call was connected, he said, “This subordinate doesn’t quite understand why you made such a decision.”

“Especially this matter. It’s obvious that the Butanians have spies within Central University…”

“Before we investigate thoroughly, this subordinate thinks that we shouldn’t agree!”

Even if they investigated thoroughly, Zhang Hui wouldn’t agree to let foreigners get involved after cleaning up the mess!

Because..

Zhang Hui couldn’t accept that he had risked so much to carefully serve that ancient god, only to be hitched by a foreigner ten thousand li away.

“General Zhang… I understand your concerns!” Li Shouyi’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “But… I want to tell General…”

“I was the one who ordered central university to do this…”

Zhang Hui’s jaw dropped in shock.

He had never expected this to happen.

But on second thought, this was actually the truth!

After all, he had just made a decision with Li Shouyi last night, and this morning, the people of Butania had already begun to take action.

They weren’t gods!

So, it could only be this commander-in-chief who took the initiative to hint and let the others know.

Only then would Butania take action immediately!

“Why?” Zhang Hui couldn’t understand.

“Because… We have to rope them in,” answered Li Shouyi.

“The alliance between the Empire and Butania can not remain verbal…”

“If you want the horses to run, you have to let the horses eat grass!”

Zhang Hui was silent.

He still had some understanding of the international situation.

In the eastern part of the land of Qin, a new power was being nurtured.

The Polish royal family was adopting the strategy of the Hapsburg family.

In the past thirty years, through marriage, they had established close relationships with Prussia, Sicily, and Frang Ji.

As a result, they formed a circle around the land of Qin.

They trapped the countries of the land of Qin that had changed their religion to Odin.

At this moment, for the sake of peace and for the world.

The empire needed to cooperate with the Butanians as a way to prevent and deter possible wars.

In order to achieve this goal, Butanian’s cooperation was indispensable!

And in the transcendent being, a new vortex was forming in land of Qin.

The destruction of the Order of the temple, the werewolf clan’s ineffable curse.

It directly caused the land of Qin’s transcendent being to be reshuffled.

After the balance was lost, the Church of bones took the opportunity to expand.

The Cardinals even began to encroach on the underground world, which was something they did not dare to do in the past.

But now…

Because of the sudden destruction of the order of the temple, the werewolf clan’s sudden curse.

All the races in the underground world were shocked.

While they were trembling, the 200 years of accumulation of the Church of bones had finally come to fruition.

And the Polish royal family claimed to be the ‘Shield of God’.

Combining the two…

There was a risk of land of Qin being integrated.

The sovereignty and dignity of the land of Qin and the other countries could be trampled!

This was contrary to the national policy of the Federal Empire!

Since the great ancestor, the Empire had rather smash the imperial tributary system and the old suzerain-vassal system.

It was for a goal or an ideal.

This was: all countries, big or small, were equal and respected each other!

Invasion was illegal and war was lawless.

Therefore, the empire was committed to world peace.

This was also the consensus of the Gonghe Party and the Datong Party.

For this, the Empire had fought a hundred-year war and sacrificed countless lives and blood.

For this, the Empire had never taken the initiative to start a war with the outside world even once in the past two hundred years.

Even if they were provoked, they would choose another method instead of using force to resolve it.

This was to maintain the international order that they had established.

And this was both an ideal and a demand for practical benefits!

Thinking of this, Zhang Hui let out a sigh, “If this is what the central federal government wants, then I will have to accept it!”

The principles of the Blackguard, even if there were policies or orders, were not in line with their original intentions.

But if it was a lawful order, then it had to be carried out even if it was understood or not!

Of course, the person involved had the right to reserve his opinion.
