Chapter 994: Dissemination

Dissemination

The other two were shocked!

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Aren't you afraid of Fire-Stealer people hearing you?"

"They aren't even here... Besides, what I'm saying is also the truth." That person got more and more carried away as he spoke. "Don't you guys see what Wuji has become now... No matter how bad it gets, how much worse can it get? Evil people need to be ground down by evil people. It would be great if they could Dog-Eat-Dog."

The other two looked at each other, seemingly feeling that what he said made sense. A glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.

"But hasn't he already joined the Fire-Stealers? Why would he deal with his own people?"

"That Six of Hearts is a madman. Didn't you see that he even kills Dusk Society people now? I feel like that group of Fire-Stealers might not necessarily be able to suppress him either... He even killed the Lord of the Aurora and wiped out a domain. Would this kind of person stay put obediently?"

"That makes sense too..."

Jiang Xiaohua took all the dialogue to heart. Watching the departing backs of the few people, he fell into deep thought.

Knock knock knock——

"Hello, I want to see Chi Tong." Holding a thick stack of reports, Chen Ling spoke seriously to the maid.

"Please wait a moment."

The maid knocked on the door and walked into Chi Tong's office. After a long while, she walked out and made a "please" gesture to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling pushed open the door and walked into the room, only to see a haggard-looking Chi Tong sitting behind a mountain of documents, rubbing the sides of his nose with both hands, his face full of solemnity...

"Sorry, Chi Tong," Chen Ling sighed deeply. "I wasn't able to be of much help this time..."

"...It's fine. This matter originally didn't have much to do with you anyway."

What Chi Tong said was the truth. Chen Ling was forcibly dragged over by him to be a Guide in the first place. No matter how much accountability was pursued for the failure of this encirclement and suppression, it couldn't fall on Chen Ling. After all, there was absolutely nothing wrong with his tactics... On the contrary, it was Chi Tong himself who, after hearing that the Queen of Diamonds had appeared, was so scared he didn't sleep well all night.

Right now he was just having lingering fears. Fortunately Hong Xiu had intercepted the Queen of Diamonds in time and sent Chen Ling away. Otherwise, if the Queen of Diamonds had snatched Chen Ling away, everything would be finished!

Chen Ling's "Calamity of Mockery" was one of the Silver King's crucially important trump cards. As long as Chen Ling was fine, what did a few Rat Party members escaping count for?

A smile reappeared on Chen Ling's face, and he conveniently placed the documents in his hand on Chi Tong's desk.

Chi Tong glanced at the thick documents, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly,

"...What is this again?"

"Oh, this is the 'Hundred Doctors Free Clinic' plan I want to chat with you about. I plan to let Doctors within the Wuji Domain enter the factories in batches to treat workers who don't have time to come out for medical treatment. It's divided into six parts in total. First..."

Chen Ling seemed to have prepared long ago, incessantly starting to introduce the social effects of this project to Chi Tong, as well as the necessity of its implementation. Each part was divided into three sub-points, making Chi Tong's vision go black as he listened.

By the time Chen Ling finished explaining three parts, Chi Tong finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to call a halt:

"Enough, you don't need to say anymore... I think your idea is very good, let's just do it this way."

"I knew you would definitely agree, Chi Tong," Chen Ling laughed, then casually mentioned, "However, there are still some minor details in here that need to be deliberated. I have to find time to do a bit more research."

"No."

This time, Chi Tong directly rejected Chen Ling.

"Why?"

"During this recent period, you cannot go anywhere." Chi Tong's tone was very tough. "Leave the research to other people... I will pass on your plan, there will be people to do it."

"Cannot go anywhere? But previously the Silver King allowed me to..."

"Before was before, now is now. Right now, in this domain, what I, Chi Tong, say goes."

"..."

Seeing Chen Ling's expression look somewhat ugly, Chi Tong knew he had spoken a bit out of line. Out of consideration for his own persona, he still supplemented as gently as possible, "Mainly, it's because people from the Dusk Society have sneaked into the city recently... They will be unfavorable to you. Making you stay here is to protect you."

"I don't need protection. I can go kill them, just like last time." Mentioning the Dusk Society, killing intent appeared in Chen Ling's eyes.

"Not this time."

Chi Tong answered decisively, leaving no leeway at all.

Chen Ling took a deep look at him and didn't say much more. After casually saying goodbye, he left the office.

Actually, Chen Ling had guessed that Chi Tong wouldn't let him leave The Church so easily recently. He just wanted to come try his luck today and test their attitude... Now it seemed this matter wasn't so easy.

After Chen Ling left, Chi Tong called Huang He and Lan Yu back in.

"Has the news about Six of Hearts been spread out?"

"We controlled the newspaper agency people and have already spread the news. Now the entire Wuji Domain has received the newspaper... The Dusk Society's Six of Hearts announced joining the Fire-Stealers, breaking with the past, and personally killed the Dusk Society's Eight of Spades to show his determination."

"With this news spread out, the Queen of Diamonds inside the city will definitely hear it..." Chi Tong sneered. "I want to see what else they can do."

"They should probably give up on Six of Hearts, right?" Lan Yu spoke uncertainly. "Retreating in the face of difficulties and leaving Wuji. After all, there's no need for them to take risks for a traitor."

"Theoretically speaking, this is the case, but those people from the Dusk Society are all madmen. What they will do is hard to say." Chi Tong spoke seriously,

"During this recent period, we absolutely must dispatch more manpower. Even if we have to flip the entire Wuji over, we must find the Queen of Diamonds."

"We've already thrown in almost all our manpower, looking for traces of him everywhere. We even mobilized the manpower from the Detention Center, letting Ordinary Persons become our eyes and ears too..."

"It's still not enough." Chi Tong pondered for a moment and looked at Lan Yu. "Yesterday you said you left a mark on that Durand?"

"That's right."

"You two also mobilize and go search for Durand... That Queen of Diamonds didn't appear earlier or later, but exactly when we were encircling the Rat Party. He definitely has some connection with Durand... Following Durand, maybe we can discover traces of the Queen of Diamonds."

"Okay."

Waiting for Huang He and Lan Yu to leave, the office once again fell into silence.

Chi Tong slowly leaned back in his chair, looking mentally and physically exhausted. He looked at the ceiling above his head and muttered to himself:

"King... when exactly will you come back?"

"I always have an ominous premonition... If you don't come back soon, the Wuji Domain is about to fall into complete chaos..."

...

Factory District.

Rat Party hideout.

"Hey hey hey, you guys look at this quickly!"

A figure holding a newspaper ran over hurriedly. "Every factory in the Wuji Domain received it... It says on here that the Dusk Society's Six of Hearts announced joining the Fire-Stealers, and even killed a Dusk Society member..."

"What???"

Jian Changsheng, who was resting with his eyes closed in the corner, abruptly opened his eyes, strode forward, and directly grabbed the newspaper, flipping through it carefully.
