Chapter 128 45. So this is the spiritual world? (10,000 words, please subscribe!)
Looking at the little girl's innocent face and her tricky questions, Fang Ze had only one thought in his mind: If you want me to die, you can just say so. There is no need to go through this process.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
So, as soon as his head passed by, he opened his mouth and said, "3.344412."
Seeing Fang Ze's answer so quickly, the little girl in red was obviously a little stunned.
She raised her head, looked at Fang Ze with big eyes, and blinked.
Then, for a moment, her face suddenly changed, "Impossible! Your calculation is wrong! It's not this number!"
Fang Ze said seriously, "That's really it. If you don't believe it, re-quote the number you just said and let's do the math together."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the little girl was stunned again.
Obviously, she just reported the number casually, and she didn't remember it herself.
But it's okay.
It only took a moment for her to adjust her emotions. She raised her head and smiled innocently at Fang Ze, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes. "Brother, you are so awesome. It's such a difficult addition and subtraction within 10."
It can all be calculated."
"Then can I ask you another question?"
Fang Ze looked at her, smiled, and then said, "I can only answer one question a day. Goodbye, little sister."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Little girl in red:???
However, the current situation is obviously not what Fang Ze expected.
So, before Fang Ze took two steps, suddenly, the figure of the little girl in red appeared in front of his eyes. And there were more than one.
It was as if she had suddenly suffered mitosis. Suddenly, five or six girls who looked exactly like her appeared on the street.
They were all wearing little red skirts as bright as blood, standing in groups on the dark, desolate, dilapidated streets.
Some of them were holding hands, some were squatting on the ground, and some were holding red umbrellas. The bright red color on their bodies was particularly conspicuous in this dark night and this dilapidated gray world.
And at this moment, they all turned to look at Fang Ze, and then said in unison, with echoes, "Brother, brother, you can't leave until you finish teaching us. Oh."
Seeing this, Fang Ze rubbed his temples, and then said helplessly, "Your Excellency, I think I've had enough fun, right?"
"I'm very busy. I really don't have time to play this kind of kid's game of house."
"Besides, besides meeting you today, I also want to discuss some business with you."
"About the Flower Festival, about the shadow organization, about [Qin 28]."
"If you want to hear it, let's sit down and have a good chat. If you don't want to hear it, I'll go back first. Let's make an appointment next time."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the little girls in red suddenly froze.
After a moment, several of the figures slowly dissipated like bubbles, and finally only one remained.
She finally stopped pretending. Instead, she stood in front of Fang Ze, raising her head, looking at Fang Ze with her big watery eyes, and asked curiously, "How did you find out?"
Fang Ze looked at her, then at the surrounding environment, and said, "Why don't we unblock this place?"
"Oh." After hearing Fang Ze's words, the little girl's cheeks puffed up, and she reluctantly stretched out her hand to hold Fang Ze.
For a moment, Fang Ze felt as if his body suddenly felt like he was falling.
When he came to his senses again, he was surprised to find that he had left that desolate, uninhabited, dilapidated street that looked like ruins.
In front of him, there was a bustling night market instead.
Even though it was past 1 o'clock in the morning, there were still a lot of people coming and going at the night market, and the roadside stalls had not closed yet. Many roadside stall owners were shouting hard and trying to attract customers. The smell of fireworks was everywhere.
The place where the two appeared was in the middle of this street, so many people saw them appearing out of thin air.
However, ordinary people in this world also know about awakening abilities and awakeners. So when they saw the way these two people appeared, they immediately turned their heads away and did not dare to cause trouble.
If Fang Ze had some guesses just now, he was sure now. He couldn't help but look at the little girl in red holding his hand, and then asked, "Just now, did we enter the spirit world?"
The little girl in red raised her head and said unhappily, "You haven't answered my question yet. How can you ask me a question first?"
After hearing what she said, Fang Ze couldn't help but smile, and then explained, "It's actually very simple to identify your identity and prevent me from suspecting that I have come to a different space or illusion."
"Although you did it very realistically."
"Not only did he pretend to be a taxi driver, he told me a story."
"I even had place names on the map."
"but."
"It's too deliberate and unreasonable!"
"My map is the latest version. Since such a big thing happened in the kindergarten, how come the Security Bureau, the Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Guard still have this symbol?"
"I took a taxi casually, and the driver actually knew what happened that year in such detail. And he dared to continue taking me there."
"And after we got there, the flaws became even bigger. It had been a year since the accident happened in the kindergarten, and there was still such a strong smell of blood."
"Although it is dilapidated, it has not been sealed."
"The shops on both sides of the street are so deserted and weird. Are there any two who are not afraid of death? Are they short of money? Or are they brave enough to open a haunted house?"
Hearing the loopholes pointed out by Fang Ze, the little girl responded with "oh, oh," and at the same time took out a small notebook from somewhere and lowered her head to record.
It's like planning to wait until the loopholes are recorded, then go back and modify my plan, and then scare others.
Seeing her like that, Fang Ze secretly wiped the sweat from his head.
In fact, how could he see so many flaws?
He was not alert at first, but after he entered the bureau, the little girl's progressive story, coupled with the deepening psychological hints, made him completely immersed in the story, so he had no way of discovering it.
And the thing that breaks all this is actually: empty eyes.
When the little girl asked Fang Ze a question, Fang Ze couldn't see clearly the reality of the little girl, so he thought of trying it with his empty eyes to see if the little girl in front of him was a human or a ghost. See if there was anyone else around.
Ghost.
As a result, at first glance, he saw the [real world], saw countless street stalls, and saw busy people.
Therefore, at that moment, Fang Ze guessed that he was hallucinating, or that the person in front of him had unknowingly taken him to another strange space.
And the only one who has such strength and can leave a secret code to deliberately lure him here is the new docking person.
Coupled with the fact that he was trembling with fear when he recalled 123, Fang Ze not only figured out the incident, but also the character of this new contact person.
A little girl who likes to play pranks?
The reason why it is a "question" is because Fang Ze is not sure about the true age of the person in front of him.
In this world with extraordinary abilities, there are even creatures that stay young forever, so it shouldn’t be an exaggeration to see some tools that can rejuvenate one’s youth, right?
While thinking this, Fang Ze lowered his head tentatively and looked at the person next to him, and then asked, "Sir, how should I call you?"
The little girl raised her head and smiled sweetly, but maybe because her smile was exactly the same as when she was scary in the spirit world, Fang Ze did not feel happy physically and mentally, but instead felt a cold feeling on his back.
Then he heard the little girl say, "You can call me my code name in the organization: Hua Nu."
"Hua Slave?" Fang Ze looked at the little girl up and down and asked, "Your ability is not a flower, right? Why are you called Hua Slave?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the little girl rolled her eyes, "Do you think everyone is a fool like Jin Hu? What is his ability and his code name?"
Fang Ze:.
Reasonable.
Perhaps because there are many fathers or mothers taking their daughters out to play in the night market, the combination of Fang Ze and his counterpart Hua Nu did not attract much attention.
The two of them walked and talked.
In exchange for helping to "improve the scary story", Hua Nu also told Fang Ze what had just happened.
Fang Ze guessed right. The place Hua Nu took Fang Ze to just now was the spirit world.
Just like what the female mentor Qing Ya said: The spiritual world is actually not somewhere else, but in the real world. It is like a shadow world, completely overlapping with the real world. Even the buildings, terrain, jungles, mountains and rivers
They are all exactly the same. It’s just that they are all embodied by the power of the law.
What Fang Ze didn't expect was that what he thought was the manifestation of the power of the law, or the existence of some strange spiritual bodies, should be something weird and strange at first glance.
However, now that I have experienced it personally, it seems that there is no difference between it and reality?
At least, he didn't see it.
There are just fewer people? The environment is a little dilapidated? It looks a little scary?
But after hearing what Fang Ze said, Hua Nu rolled her eyes and said lightly, "That's just because you haven't reached the spiritual level and don't have [spiritual vision]."
"So I can't see the difference in the spiritual world."
"Even some spiritual bodies cannot be seen."
At this point, I don’t know if she was scaring Fang Ze or if it was true, "Just now, when I was scaring you, a very scary one with eight hands and more than 20 people floated next to you.
A strange spiritual body with two eyes.”
"It looked at you for a while. But maybe it was too old for the meat, so it left."
Fang Ze:.
To be honest, looking at her serious expression, Fang Ze really couldn't tell whether what she said was true or whether she was joking.
Fang Ze felt a little headache.
He felt that the person in front of him had a bad personality and was not as good as the original bun shop owner. Although he talked a little less, at least he felt at ease when talking.
I always feel like this little girl in front of me is capable of some evil deeds, such as taking the information and running away.
Not sure if she had seen through Fang Ze's thoughts, Hua Nu held Fang Ze's hand, and then rolled her eyes at him, "Hey, what's that expression on your face?"
"Although I usually like to play around, when it comes to getting down to business, I'm still very reliable."
Fang Ze glanced at her and said unceremoniously, "I hope so."
Hua Nu waved his small fist at Fang Ze angrily.
I found a teahouse open all night and chose a private room.
After sending the boss out, Hua Nu dropped two strange things that looked like badges in the room, and then sat on opposite ends of the table with Fang Ze, and then started today's formal negotiation.
Just like Hua Nu said, when talking about serious matters, she is obviously much more serious and serious.
She sat on the chair and looked at Fang Ze, a pair of short legs dangling there, "You just said that you have a lot of information to report to me?"
Fang Ze nodded while pouring tea, "Yes. There are three pieces of information. About Hua Chaojie. About the shadow organization. And about [Qin 28]."
"Which one do you want to hear first?"
Hua Nu said without hesitation, "It's [Qin 28]."
Fang Ze glanced at her, pushed the teacup filled with tea in front of Hua Nu, and then said, "I'm sorry. [Qin 28] is tied to the intelligence of the shadow organization."
"So, if you want to listen, you can only listen together."
Flower slave:.
Hua Nu's face bulged with anger, "Then just listen to the shadow organization first."
Fang Ze smiled and then said, "Sorry. Please pay the deposit first."
Little flower slave:???
She stared at Fang Ze with round blue eyes and asked, "Why? I remember that the last contact person listened to the information first and then paid?"
"Why is it different when it's my turn?"
Fang Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said casually, "Can you two be the same?"
"Most people know how to behave."
"When we first met, I was invited to spend as much money as I wanted on Qingfeng Ancient Street. Except for the oiran, I could choose any girl I liked."
"what about you?"
"When we first meet, first scare my pet, then scare me."
"That's fine if I don't complain to you."
Little flower slave:
Inexplicably, she actually felt it was somewhat reasonable.
So, while mumbling something bad, she took out a space folding bag from her waist.
Then she reached in, took out a box, and placed it directly on the table.
The box was so heavy that when it was pressed onto the table, it felt like the table shook three times.
Then she opened the box, and it was full of crystals of various colors, which were so eye-catching.
Then she took out a pack of 100 white crystals from it, put it on the table, and said, "This is an ordinary crystal worth 100,000, which is considered a deposit. You tell me."
"I will measure the value of the specific information and then pay it to you on the spot."
"If you have any objection to the value of the information, we can discuss it, or we can roughly talk about the price range before we talk, and I will make the preliminary judgment."
"We can proceed with the transaction after we are both satisfied."
After listening to Hua Nu's words, Fang Ze glanced at her small box.
According to visual inspection, it is worth at least four to five million lini.
Fang Ze did some mental calculations, and if he added the 800,000 supplies that Bai Zhi had not cashed yet, and if he could get all these crystals by fooling him, it should be enough for him to be promoted to a high-level awakener.
It seems that tonight's goal is set: to squeeze out the new partner in front of me.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze reorganized all the information he had obtained from Qiuyue, Huajian, and especially Huajian.
As the section chief of the Security Bureau's Case Section, Huajian is one of Jiang Cheng's most important sources of intelligence in the Emerald City.
In addition, he has a special identity.
Therefore, Fang Ze tortured a lot of secrets from his mouth that night.
To be honest, Fang Ze was a little shocked after asking so much information.
Especially when compared with some of the information Bai Zhi told him today, Fang Ze discovered many details that he had not paid attention to before. The price of this information also increased significantly.
Thinking this, Fang Ze looked at the contact person, and then slowly spoke,
"Okay. Since you are so sincere, then I will be more relaxed."
"The first is the intelligence of the shadow organization."
"During this period, I carefully investigated the situation of the shadow organization."
"The scope of activities of this organization is mainly the Eastern Region of the Federation. It is a huge organization established by conservative nobles from seven states in the Eastern Region."
"In recent years, because the federation has vigorously supported civilian elites, the power of these conservative nobles has been greatly reduced."
"They want to compete, but they are worried about attracting the attention of the federation and facing a greater backlash from civilian elites."
"so."
"They were quick to act wisely and established this underground federation."
"Over the years, they have secretly sent their secret forces, as well as some direct and collateral forces, out of their own states and cities to the jurisdictions of other noble allies."
"And through the huge power of other noble allies in their own jurisdiction, they can forge new identities for these people, disguise themselves as civilian elites, or directly use the identities of outsiders to enter local official organizations."
"With the help of the original family, these people's strength developed very quickly, and soon they gradually became geniuses in the civilian faction, and were trusted and cultivated by the civilian faction."
"And because they are originally from the aristocracy, the aristocracy will help them at critical moments."
"For example, in the competition for key positions, when the aristocratic faction and the civilian faction are fighting fiercely, these people will often get an advantage in the end."
"This plan has been implemented for almost ten years and has initially achieved results."
"When the civilian faction squeezes the aristocratic faction into smaller and smaller living spaces, the aristocratic faction is regaining a new lease of life in the civilian faction in a new way."
"Although I don't have a specific list of people, I do have lists of noble families from several neighboring states that have been exchanged with each other."
"You can follow the clues and details I provided and investigate for yourself the populist geniuses who have suddenly emerged in these states in recent years. You should be able to find these people."
"As for the members of this shadow organization in Cedar State, I also found out that they are from the Jiang family."
Having said this, Fang Ze opened his space folding bag, took out a note he had already written, and placed it on the table in front of Hua Nu.
After hearing the confidential information told by Fang Ze, Hua Nu was stunned for two seconds.
