Chapter 123

Federal Center.

On a rectangular conference table ten meters long, everyone at the table looked solemn.

After a fruitless discussion, everyone focused their eyes on one place—a person sitting on the leather swivel chair in the very front and center. Because he was facing away from everyone, only the hand holding the cigar and the smoke lingering on the top of his head could be seen.

"Head of State, how do you plan to deal with that Ancient Human?" someone at the table couldn't help but ask.

The leather chair didn't move. The person in the seat raised his hand to take a puff of the cigar. After a long time, he waved his hand slightly. The secretary officer standing beside him nodded immediately and projected a research report.

"According to the report, there is a precious factor in the genes of Ancient Humans called peptide-caffeine. If peptide-caffeine can be extracted and mass-produced into a potion, it can be used to calm beastmen when they go berserk."

Someone questioned: "Is it really effective?"

The secretary officer nodded without changing his expression, "We have already extracted 0.01% of peptide-caffeine from the human blood sample stored in the Ancient Human Research Center. After using it on berserk beastman experimenters, the success rate of calming down is 60%."

As soon as this was said, the audience was in an uproar.

0.01% could actually have a 60% success rate. If the concentration was increased, wouldn't it be an era where the whole population gets rid of berserk? That would be of great significance! For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room.

Someone looked hesitant and said: "Since this is the case, why does the Prime Minister still indulge the Ancient Humans outside without restraint?"

"I think we should let the Research Center take over as soon as possible."

"Have you forgotten? Last time it was taken over by the Ancient Human Research Center, what was the result? Not only did the person run away, but she also turned Zong... that madman into her follower. If you ask me, this Ancient Human cannot be underestimated."

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes looked implicitly at Zong Yan, the Prime Minister of Sote, who was sitting at the table. Some people coughed twice and winked at the person who just spoke, signaling not to say any more.

Zong Yan was old and prudent, closed his eyes and didn't answer, as if the person they were discussing had nothing to do with him.

The leather chair turned, and the person in a high position finally revealed his face.

His left half of his face wore a silver mask, looking like he was nearing his twilight years, but he was still energetic, and a pair of eagle-like eyes were majestic without anger.

Seeing the head of state turn around, the secretary officer quickly and steadily picked up a mini megaphone and placed it at his throat. Only to see the head of state's mouth didn't move, only a hoarse and withered voice came from the megaphone—

"What is there to fish for with fish that stupidly bite the hook? Only those that can call friends and companions and call a group of fish into the net are valuable fish."

Hearing this, everyone looked thoughtful.

"Kui Shou."

Hearing the Prime Minister call his name, the secretary officer stood straight and saluted.

"You go and take good care of our little fish. Don't let the line be too tight, and don't be too loose."

"Yes."

After Zongfang's matter came to an end, Qiao Suisui had been busy without touching the ground.

First of all, the discussion about her in the entire interstellar space only increased and did not decrease. A large amount of "scraps" about her appeared on Nebula one after another, but they were all gossip of unknown origin. There were even rumors that she possessed 18 spouses. As of now, the number of people joining Zizai had reached one million. Among those who applied, there were those who watched the fun with a curious mentality, those who wanted to see Qiao Suisui's true face, ancient human fanatics, and those who wanted to become Qiao Suisui's spouse... It could be said that as long as it was a male who could go online, eight out of ten submitted applications, and some even made the ten-minute introduction video into a blind date introduction.

And Qiao Suisui needed to spend a lot of time screening out those who really wanted to join the organization from this huge crowd. Fortunately, she was not "fighting alone". First, the first layer of screening was Luka ordering Angsi to use a program to automatically filter out some beastmen with impure motives, identity problems, or who didn't meet the conditions. Those who met the requirements would enter the second layer of screening, three rounds of interviews, precise control and elimination from eight dimensions, and then enter the third layer of screening, conducting stress tests to see if these candidates would make hurtful moves under extreme circumstances, or exist behaviors that harm others for their own benefit. By this layer, 80% of those with poor character had already been eliminated. It could be said that candidates could only join the organization after a funnel-model layer-by-layer screening.

And such work was not one-off, but periodic, because the volume was large and new people were constantly applying, so it needed to be screened in batches, and the list screened out in each batch was what Qiao Suisui finally saw.

"There are 22 people in this batch, and their information is all here." Luka transmitted an encrypted file to Qiao Suisui's light brain and carefully introduced the situation of each person to her.

Qiao Suisui leaned in his arms and flipped through the pages. When she saw a line, she stopped and asked: "There are actually females who also submitted applications?"

Luka nodded, "Yes, the only female in this batch. After Angsi's investigation, it was found that the other party is an inferior artificial female, mentally disabled."

In fact, this female didn't pass the three rounds of interviews, and was even filtered out by the program in the first round. It was Luka who insisted on adding her name at the end.

Qiao Suisui clicked on her introduction video and found that the whole video was only two minutes long.

In the two minutes, the girl in the picture kept shaking her body back and forth, her expression twitching uncontrollably, and her speech was stuttering, but she still insisted on introducing herself.

"My name is... E... Li. Brother, brother, want to fear, fear the big shadow..."

Qiao Suisui listened to her words twice repeatedly, but couldn't understand what this girl named Aili meant, but she could clearly feel that the other party was trying to express something.

"You specifically left her, have you already found out something?" Qiao Suisui asked Luka.

"Hmm, her brother, used to be the butler of my Biegong."

Qiao Suisui was a bit surprised, "You mean Aiven?"

It was the butler Aiven who had colluded with the other party when the Federation people took her away.

"That's right." Luka pinched her palm and told her the ins and outs.

It turned out that after Aili was rescued by Laiboli, she had been living with her brother Aiven, but Aiven didn't come home one day, and Aili lived alone stumbling with the pension given by Laiboli. But not long ago, she began to be harassed by a brown bear beastman. Because Aili's genes were inferior and she was mentally disabled, the male forced Aili, but didn't take responsibility, only coming every few days to vent his fire.

Aili's intelligence was equivalent to an 8-year-old child, but her language development wasn't good. Facing such a situation, she knew how to call for help. Just when the brown bear came to the door again, Aili called for help loudly, but was dragged by her hair and thrown against the wall. After that, punching and kicking were common occurrences. Aili no longer dared to call for help. It was probably because she was at the end of her rope, or maybe it was a coincidence, when Qiao Suisui's video went viral on the Internet, she watched it hundreds of times.

Aili didn't fully understand Qiao Suisui's words, but there was one sentence she kept replaying—

"Weak people, are you struggling..."

Aili saw the girl in the video had long hair like her, a nice voice, and firm words, making her intuitively want to believe and want to ask for help. That's why there was this video Qiao Suisui saw now.

Qiao Suisui looked at the girl in the picture, her eyes full of reluctance. She looked at Luka and asked: "So the big shadow in Aili's mouth... is that brown bear beastman?"

Luka nodded.

"Then you just said that this matter also has something to do with Ashi, what do you mean?"
