Chapter 1885 - 969: More_2

In deeper voids, the eternally burning black star silently calls.

Hungry and thirsty worms slither forward, ceaselessly wriggling!

"Worm?"

The next day, when Ji Jue heard the specific news from Tong Hua, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Really? Is there actually such a thing in the real world?"

"Who knows how many there are, this time the Evil Cult's movements are definitely related to those guys."

On the other end of the phone, Tong Hua, who had just finished a meeting, seemed to be in a bad mood: "Just finished a communication meeting, it was completely like talking at cross purposes, as if we were not on the same channel.

The guy from the Star Core Association completely refuses to share any intel, just saying they'll handle it, they'll handle it, then when asked when they'll take action, they start pretending not to hear!"

"Sounds strangely familiar, I wonder where I've often seen that." Ji Jue sneered happily, not expecting even Tian Yuan to have a day of being handled by someone: "Is the Security Bureau so easy-going, didn't they apply pressure?"

"Applying pressure is useless."

Tong Hua got more annoyed: "Pushing does nothing, pushing more gets ignored! Their contact person is totally just there to take the blame, might as well have 'coping' written on their face.

And yet, these Evil Cult guys are causing chaos everywhere, crawling around like cockroaches!"

"Keep it up, keep it up!" Ji Jue shifted the topic: "Is Xiao An's stuff still enough? I've made another batch here, just scrap it if it's damaged, no need to cherish it.

If you ask me, the Security Bureau's treatment is somewhat lacking..."

Upon hearing that Ji Jue wanted to come to the drafty Northern Mountain District to poach people, Tong Hua immediately reacted with a yawn: "Warning you, don't try to corrupt our Security Bureau's future stars with your dirty money!"

"Firstly, this is Xiao An's position treatment at the Coast, it's unrelated to money. Secondly, the fact that a White Deer has become a future star of Tian Yuan shows Tian Yuan might have its fall coming."

Ji Jue paused: "Why not just swap Xiao An back, you can't stop him from seeking a better future, right?"

Dog bark?!

Tong Hua was taken aback and suddenly feigned crying: "Boo hoo, Sister Wen, come back, please, this dog Ji Jue is bullying me… I'm going to call her, I don't care… The skies in the Northern Mountain District are already dark!"

"Correction, even if Sister Wen were here, I'd still bully you."

Ji Jue glanced at the refreshing messages on the screen, and before the other side could erupt in anger: "Hey, don't say I don't take care of my own, sixteen clues from the Evil Cult, take them and spend freely, if it's not enough there's more, don't hold back, remember to take care of my small factory after you get promoted and make a fortune, 'Commissioner Tong'."

After stuffing a bunch of miscellaneous clues to Tong Hua to run errands with, Ji Jue directly hung up the call.

Meanwhile, another message from Tong Shan arrived.

[Caught two more, gained quite a bit, thanks.]

Ji Jue grinned widely, [Don't mention it, there's still fifteen more here, Brother Shan, keep it up!]

Then he forwarded a dozen or so clues to Lou Yanyue, and all the clues he had in his hands were sent away.

Not knowing which side might yield results, just let them pick!

Casting a wide net and waiting for a rabbit sure has its benefits; now, the entire Southeast Commerce Alliance's channels have spread throughout the Federation, and after connecting to Thousand Islands, they've even been established in Central Earth.

Even if large goods couldn't be bought, discounted tricycles, recycled second-hand car parts, used clothes, and generators are hot commodities everywhere, with no worries about sales.

Now that if Ji Jue wanted, just reselling trash could earn him loads of money, toss in some extra stuff, and it would be incredibly easy!

Plus, with Sirius and various coast equipment serving as relays, after things were distributed, he didn't have to bother, the Evil Cult could just crash like rabbits on their own.

However, while precision improved, false reports were inevitable, most might be wasted trips, even if nine out of ten were verified, some could still be residues of old Secret Ritual filth contamination.

Yet, with the existing Security Bureau working for him, Ji Jue didn't need to run errands himself. The Tong family and Lou family divided within the Federation, everything in Central Earth went to Brother Shan, and the Thousand Islands' offerings could be sold at the Desert Market. Now, there were many eager for the Evil Cult's downfall, he wasn't needed.

Ding!

Soon, a brand new triggered alert refreshed on the screen, surprising Ji Jue slightly. The location was unexpected...

Still in Kunwu?

Just after a major crackdown, now acting defiantly?

Are they insane?!

These bastards are causing commotion all over, what exactly do they want?

Soon, news from the scene appeared on the Security Bureau's intranet — a few of the Evil Cult guys, leading a legion of trash dealers, attempted to assault the observation outpost in a contaminated area, but after firing a few shots, they scattered like the wind.

All those caught were a bunch of brainwashed idiots, convinced that the signal tower around the outpost emitted mind-control waves, all believing in Central City's dark, undisclosable plans...

Shortly after, a case of arson emerged in Huang Province, a group of lunatics madly igniting the shantytown area, proclaiming the apocalypse was coming, and only by following the Holy Flame could one reach the Divine Country and gain immortality.

For three or four days, chaotic events began occurring in succession.

Yet each time it was just thunder with little rain, and all caught were either drug-fueled maniacs or outright insane trash dealers and fringe individuals carrying various pollutants, robbing, setting fires, attacking everywhere. But not a single internally inherited Mutated Transformation from the Evil Cult was present...

Each time, they flagrantly used the Evil Cult's name, keeping the Security Bureau running around in circles, until Central City got enraged and directly dispatched action teams, consecutively taking down several bases exposed due to their activities.

But yet, the Evil Cult's actions showed no signs of slowing; instead, they worsened, abandoning their usual low-profile and secretive stance, obsessively causing chaos.

Even New Spring suffered two attacks; if not for Paradise's monitoring and analysis, human bombs might have infiltrated the Wanli Industrial Park area!

They don't want money or benefits, just purely want to cause trouble.

What's the point!

As Ji Jue stared at the messages on the screen, bewildered, unable to understand, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly blared, echoing within the workshop of the Doomsday Special Train.

In a momentary shock, his expression turned abruptly grim.

Unconditionally interrupt all processes and work, temporarily halt all agreements and operations, the entire system enters emergency mode.

This is [Level One Alert]!

— Key protection targets·Numbers a006, a007, three minutes ago, lost track!

These two numbers...

In the dead silence, Ji Jue almost couldn't control himself, crushing the parts in his hand.

He looked back at the screen.

Is it the third and the youngest?
