Li Zhen didn't know what to say. The ancient god acted too human in this moment. He didn't know whether the other party was learning to make a joke like a human, or whether he really said so. If it were the latter... he really didn't know how to answer.

Because in a sense, only the ancient gods in this world are his true kind. Now Li Zhen has fallen a piece of flesh and blood from his body, so he can almost find the genetic information of most known organisms in the world from this piece of flesh and blood. Although his body composition still looks like a formal human, it is no longer close to the concept of human beings.

"So, what about you?" the ancient god asked again.

"Why are you so persistent to me?" Li Zhen said jokingly, "You are still unique without me."

Li Zhen didn't know why his words had such obvious effect - the ancient god was silent. This time the silence lasted for a full half hour. Li Zhen realized that the conversation was over.

So he left the boat next to the ancient god and flew directly into the sky. After flying hundreds of miles, he heard the faint thunder in the sky. The ancient god stood up straight again and continued to stand like a stone pillar that penetrated the heaven and earth.

The organization is not a quasi-militarized organization, so of course it is impossible to require every member to stay in the local headquarters. It also hopes that people will be scattered in every corner of the world and make sacrifices without hesitation when needed.

But Li Zhen chose to stay in Zhongdu's headquarters these days - he had no place to go anyway.

In fact, he has done a lot of work these days - for example, as an agent to perform tasks. Of course, the task is for An Ruohong to show. The big leader of the Zhongdu branch even put forward some guidance and believed that Li Zhen should strengthen his training.

"Ability doesn't mean everything." He said to Li Zhen once. "Give me enough time to kill you in the field."

Li Zhen accepted the opinion happily and said that as an old senior, An Ruohong certainly saw more worlds than himself - he still has a lot to learn from.

So he spent basically spending his next time in the training room. The Zhongdu branch of the organization is located in Xicheng District, underground of a huge stadium. The organization transformed the underground pipeline into a wide space, which is actually almost the same as the stadium on the ground. There are many permanent personnel in the headquarters, about fifty people. Most of these people are core personnel of Kuaizaifeng, and the real latecomers are a few. They are quite friendly to Li Zhen, the "newcomer", but they are friendly but there are vigilance hidden in it.

Li Zhen knew that the "test period" was not over yet and he was in the second stage. However, he had used this "friendliness" to find out the bottom of many people. After all, he was an executive, and even the assault training was much better than the fighters from the wild route.

The only person who has not had an "in-depth" communication is Yan Weizi. The second-person in Zhongdu is a bit concise. Li Zhen could see that she was not very satisfied with the series of strategies formulated by An Ruohong recently. However, her "dissatisfaction" can only be hidden in her heart. This type of rebel organization is not a democratic parliament. As the second-person in charge, she can only be responsible for some daily affairs, and at the same time put forward some opinions that may not be adopted.

But Li Zhen could also see that she had something to say to her, just hesitating, or could not find a good opportunity.

Li Zhen decided to give her this opportunity.

Like most buildings, this underground base also has blind spots for surveillance.

Li Zhen was waiting on a road that Yan Weizi must pass after a lunch. Yan Weizi should be nearly forty years old. But perhaps her early experience as a police officer made her physical function better than ordinary people. From a distance, she was only thirty years old and looked charming. She walked over from the other side of the corridor. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Zhen. Li Zhen smiled and greeted her. Then she asked: "Sister Yan, I want to get something. Maybe my muscles were strained in the morning - I want a nutritional supplement."

Of course this is a travesty. Whether as Li Zhen or Li Haofan, saying that he has a "muscle strain" is equivalent to an adult standing under the steps and saying to someone, "I want to hug you if I can't go up."

Yan Weizi obviously knew that Li Zhen was traiting, but soon realized why the other party was traiting with her. She frowned slightly and looked at Li Zhen, then changed into a smile and said, "Come with me. I just took the key to the storage room with me."

Li Zhen followed her step by step, walked through the long corridor to the northwest corner of the underground base. Yan Weizi opened the door of the storage room, looked up at the surveillance camera that had just been reported for repair a day ago, and turned around: "Do you really want that thing?"

"You will definitely not believe it." Li Zhen smiled and closed the door.

This scene is suspicious no matter what. Yan Weizi acted in a wary manner, but it was obviously not because many people couldn't help but think about it. She sighed softly: "Actually you are... the one sent over there, right?"

For a moment, Li Zhen almost thought she had seen through it. But he immediately realized that if the other party knew that he was Li Zhen, he would definitely not have the expression he had now. Despite this, he still adjusted his plan a little in his mind.

He found a shabby wooden chair to sit down to let Yan Weizi relax, and then raised his hand: "If you and I have only met a few times and you can see that I am an undercover agent of the Empire, then I am a failure."

Then he looked at Yan Weizi slightly and said, "It seems that you are not as... so... loyal as you imagined."

Yan Weizi lowered his head slightly, raised his head again, and asked directly: "What do you want to say to me?"

The other party was straightforward, and Li Zhen no longer felt guilty. He said: "I want to hear your opinion. You know that I am different from Comrade An. I am two different people, but I have something in common with you. Comrade An may ask me to implement a plan, but I don't know whether I should do it."

"It depends on yourself and Comrade An's opinion." Yan Weizi responded firmly. She seemed to not want to make "suggestions" to Li Zhen. But if she really "don't want" the question, she should push the door and walk out after saying this, and report it to An Ruohong.

However, she still looked at Li Zhen.

"Okay, I'll say that." Li Zhen looked a little distressed, "Actually, I don't want to be an agent. I just want to be a free agent, even if it's a cleaner? It's much better than life now - at least my parents won't be worried, and I won't be disappointed with me because I did something wrong. You know I didn't plan to join the organization, but Comrade An really flattered me - I don't want to be a ignorant person. You can do what the imperial government can do to my parents, right?"

Yan Weizi wanted to speak but stopped. Li Zhen smiled: "I only say this to you - I said that we have something in common. But now Comrade An plans to kill the emperor... I don't know whether this is right or wrong. I don't know what consequences will occur after the emperor dies - maybe the world is turbulent again? Maybe the immigration project will be stranded? This responsibility should not be carried by a little person like me. So... I want to know what you think."

Yan Weizi paid attention to Li Zhen's expression from beginning to end. He paid special attention to his tiny movements. After Li Zhen finished speaking these words, her face eased significantly.

Of course this is the case - because the previous paragraph, Li Zhen was talking about his own thoughts. He knew that Yan Weizi was a master of interrogation, but no matter how high a master was, he could not see any flaw when facing him - because it was the truth.

She pondered for a while and said, "So. Don't you want to kill the emperor?"

"I'm just worried about the consequences of doing this." Li Zhen spread his hands. "After all, I'm in the system now."

Yan Weizi asked again: "In your opinion, what kind of person is the current emperor?"

Li Zhen made a embarrassed expression. It seemed like hesitating whether to express his true thoughts in front of the high-level organization. But he was really embarrassed - should he praise himself or scold him?

Unfortunately, his performance was performed this time for the blind man to see. Yan Weizi didn't plan to ask him to answer. Instead, she spoke herself, as if some of the words had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"Sixteen years ago. I met Li Zhen."

These words shocked Li Zhen. Sixteen years ago? It was the year when he... was mutated? But he had no impression of the woman in front of him.

But Yan Weizi continued: "The first time I saw him was actually a coincidence. I was driving on the road and he was passing by. It was very late at that time, and I bumped him. Then he stood up, said only one sentence and left. Later I knew that he had just crawled out of the cemetery at that time... It was hard to imagine that he could still speak to me calmly at that time - the child didn't know what was going on with him at that time."

Li Zhen remembered that a woman hit him, and even treated him as a zombie and pointed him at a gun. He remembered that he said at that time... "Driving carefully"?

Maybe it was this sentence. He went to see Yan Weizi again in a little surprise - the beautiful policewoman who was now a middle-aged woman, and he met with him under such circumstances...

Yan Weizi said again: "Then I followed him. I knew a lot of things he did. In fact, until ten years ago, I thought he was a rare, very pure good person. I don't think it's possible for a person to pretend for so many years - especially when he was young. After joining the organization, I've read a lot of information, but no information can explain why Li Zhen became like this now - being an emperor? Can you imagine it?"

Li Zhen shook his head quickly.

"So I think there may be some things we don't know yet," said Yan Weizi. "I firmly oppose this high-pressure centralization, but what if there is a reason to have to do so? In fact, I have the same concerns as you - we may not know what the consequences will be."

Li Zhen never thought that he would hear such a voice within the organization. He was a little stunned for a moment. However, the next moment, he felt that his heart had slightly accelerated two beats. He felt that it was correct to come to talk to Yan Weizi this time.

So he spoke, but another topic came up: "Sister Yan, what do you think of the space-based project?"

"Space-based project?" Yan Weizi was slightly stunned, but quickly grasped the point, "Yes.Space-based project. We can already build something like that, and even install room temperature nuclear fusion engines. Not to mention other technological advances - fifteen years ago, we faced various types of things. But five years later, our strategic weapons can erase them thousands of kilometers away."

Li Zhen was happy to see the other party acted quick-thinking, which means that the second person in charge was not just a "assistant", but also a strong woman with independent thinking and agile mind.

"It's true." Li Zhen said, "Sometimes I think, what's scary about the ancient god? It can't even complete the interstellar voyage. To put it more extreme, we can destroy it with the ecosystem on the surface. We launch a strike on it from the base station - our current weapons can even plow the entire surface of the earth for a kilometer in a minute - what kind of creatures can withstand such a blow? Without considering the impact on the ecosystem, we can kill it - we have such ability."

"Even if we do this, the worst result is to get a new earth that never grows. What is the difference between such a new earth and Mars? It is still our home, and we don't need to sail interstellarly and reclaim land on strange planets with a worse climate. If I were the emperor, I would definitely choose to do this instead of running far away - which is the greater risk of interstellar immigration or the risk of launching a strike against ancient gods from the universe? Naturally, the former is greater. So... why would the emperor rather go to a place like Mars than continue to stay on our earth?"

Yan Weizi's eyes lit up. She hesitated: "You mean... the emperor... is lying to it? He really intends to do this? He made the thing think we are going to escape and then do this again?"

Li Zhen smiled in his heart - he did have such a plan in the past, but it is no longer the case.

"This is not very realistic, Sister Yan." Li Zhen shook his head. "It is impossible for hundreds of millions of people to be carried into space. The emperor... no matter how cruel he is, he cannot ignore the charge of killing hundreds of millions of people on his back."

"Then are there any other reasons?" Yan Weizi said. She seemed to be asking Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was very satisfied with the effect of this conversation, and shook his head gently: "Who knows? Maybe. As you said, there must be some reason that made him like this. But Comrade An seemed unwilling to think like this."

"Comrade An." Yan Weizi sighed. "He is too anxious."

"So, what are you going to do?" Yan Weizi asked.

"I want to hear the opinions of the headquarters." Li Zhen said, "Didn't such a major event be reported to the headquarters? What do they say?"

Yan Weizi's face became a little ugly. She walked a few steps in the room, looked at Li Zhen again, then opened the door and looked outside. After doing this series of actions that meant "I have something extraordinary to tell you", she closed the door and whispered: "Comrade An doesn't want the headquarters to know about this."

"But I have reported it. You should know that something happened in the north recently... Dai Bingcheng woke up from hibernation. Maybe there was an adjustment there, or was distracted by that matter. The instructions given to me by the headquarters were to respect Comrade An's opinions." Yan Weizi seemed very disappointed, "Maybe there would be other instructions in the future."

"That's it." Li Zhen sighed slightly, "Then maybe... I have to do that."

"You can think about it again. Even..." Yan Weizi gritted his teeth, but in the end he did not say the following sentence.

Li Zhen was a little surprised... He did not expect that the disagreement between An Ruohong and Yan Weizi had reached this level. But this was not bad news - for him.

He said again: "Sister Yan. I want to ask you something."

He looked into Yan Weizi's eyes: "If this action fails... maybe it will be exposed here, and those who stay here probably won't go out alive. You are a good person, and Victoria is also a good person. I hope that once that time comes... you can take her away. I don't want to see good people die again."

Yan Weizi looked at Li Zhen in a daze, and after a while, he asked quietly: "So do you think the action will fail?"

"Maybe." Li Zhen said.

Yan Weizi took two steps back and looked at Li Zhen: "Then you are really...but why do you say these words to me?"

Li Zhen smiled: "I used to kill a pretty good person. The reason I gave myself was for more people. However, I was always unhappy afterwards. So I thought if I had to do something in the future, then I could try to make up for something at the same time. You are a good person and shouldn't die with them. They will die from their ambitions. In fact, I hope that you can completely withdraw from this organization from now on - whether it is from Zhongdu or from the Northern Empire. You can live a more stable life and then take a good look at what the world will look like."

Yan Weizi shook his head slightly with a complicated expression: "Li Haofan - I don't know if this is your real name. But although I also think you are a person with a conscience, I dare not be as optimistic as you think. To be honest, I am extremely disappointed with Zhongdu Branch. I have been staying here before to try to make An Ruohong do better. However, now I realize that no matter how hard I try, I can't change that person - he is An Ruohong after all. So I can accept that the mutated tumor of Zhongdu Branch was removed, but I cannot pin all my hopes on the emperor's conscience discovery - even if there is a slight possibility of being bad, we will inevitably fight to the end. At the same time, I sincerely hope that one day you can join us completely - because I know you still have a good conscience."

After saying this, Yan Weizi walked out of the door.

Li Zhen thought about it and followed her.

He only said one thing to Yan Weizi: "Driving carefully."

Yan Weizi immediately stopped and stared at Li Zhen with wide eyes. It was hard to imagine how complicated her expression was at this moment - because you could find almost any expression known to humans on her face. Her fingers trembled like spasms. After experiencing a loss of composure for more than ten seconds, she raised her hand to support the wall of the corridor and asked in a low and hoarse voice: "You...you...you are--"

Li Zhen smiled.

Yan Weizi had no reason to doubt. In fact, during the conversation just now, she felt that this young man looked like the person she had heard of in the news. What puzzled her the most was that An Ruohong could not find out his identity... and he was clearly an undercover sent by the empire!

Only one person can do this, and only that person will remember the sentence he said...

Li Haofan is Li Zhen!!

Yan Weizi felt that his heart was about to stop beating.

She looked at the "Your Majesty" in front of her and didn't know what to say next. She didn't even know why Li Zhen was doing these things! As a monarch, he wanted to sneak into the Zhongdu branch in person and destroy it in this way. He wanted to-

An unknown thought flashed through Yan Weizi's heart. She subconsciously planned to shout without hesitation.

But Li Zhen said: "Others can't hear us. You are in my field now. Do you think I want to use Zhongdu branch to lead it out and it should be decided? That's right, I think so. Killing you is just a small task, but, Yan Weizi, I'll give you a chance. You can choose to believe me, or the other way around."

Yan Weizi gritted his teeth and asked with great courage: "What can I... believe in you?"

"Believe that I may not want to be the kind of person I am now?" Li Zhen smiled, "Believe that I actually want to do something good for you? Believe that I have been acquiescing to your existence, just to wait for a suitable day to hand over everything I have in your hands?"

Yan Weizi wanted to muster up the courage to scold him, but she couldn't see anything else on Li Zhen's smiling face - such as teasing and mockery.

Her subconscious mind told herself that she should believe that everything he said was true. But her reason - if such rationality really explains what was happening at this moment - told her that there was no one who could do this at the position of Li Zhen.

In the end, she could only say: "But why did you do this? If what you said is true - you can tell him! I don't believe you can't find him!"

"Even in your current situation, you are still doubting me." Li Zhen said, "Then do you think it is right? Only in that situation, between life and death... everything is real. What's more, do you really think that I can find a strong man who deliberately hides himself from hundreds of millions of people?"

"You have two days to think about it." Li Zhen's tone became a little softer again, "Living in this world is a risk in itself." (To be continued...)
