Chapter 695
"Luo Fu" Xianzhou, Palace of Divine Foresight.
"What a nice play."
"Except for the Foundation, I haven't seen any other force so generously display files of internal tearing."
When the screen dimmed, Jing Yuan withdrew his gaze, smiled, and looked at the members of the "Astral Express."
March 7th was hugging her soda and drinking non-stop, "Stelle" was sitting on a chair roasting a sweet potato with her fire lance, and Welt had a silent and reticent appearance.
As for Bai Xuan, this mysterious figure whom Fu Xuan said could not be seen through, calculated, was not within the Three Realms, and had jumped out of the Five Elements.
At this very moment, he was using a technique Jing Yuan couldn't understand to take photos in the Palace of Divine Foresight.
Jing Yuan smiled:
"Alright, let's talk about business."
"I've long admired the General's name; what do you need us to do?" Welt asked.
Jing Yuan smiled slightly and cast his gaze into the distance.
"A few days ago, we caught a Stellaron Hunter who trespassed into the forbidden area of the Xianzhou, named 'Blade'."
His tone revealed a hint of depth.
"During the interrogation of 'Blade,' the Divination Commission—the department of the Xianzhou responsible for intelligence and information deduction—intercepted a communication sent by his accomplice Kafka, who was hiding on the Xianzhou."
"As for the communication object..."
"It's the Express." "Stelle" raised her head and distributed the roasted sweet potatoes to everyone.
Only, when she realized that the Jing Yuan in front of her was just a projection, her hand paused.
In the distance, Yukong pinched her nose, pretending not to be tempted by the sweet smell, and continued to talk to the people from the Divination Commission.
Jing Yuan looked at the slightly embarrassed "Stelle" and just wanted to say there was no need to bother, but saw "Stelle" directly hand the roasted sweet potato to Bai Xuan.
Before he could even lament that youth is good, he suddenly saw the roasted sweet potato in the boy's hand flash and disappear, and then it appeared in front of him.
"..."
Yanqing on the side looked at this scene in a daze, completely failing to understand where the roasted sweet potato came from.
Jing Yuan did not refuse the kindness of the "Astral Express" members 11, and also began to eat the sweet potato silently.
Just like that, the originally serious atmosphere suddenly changed.
"I also know a thing or two about the relationship between you all and the Stellaron Hunters."
"The Divination Commission thinks you must be accomplices! I said that's impossible."
"The Astral Express acts upright, and its reputation for helping those in need is spread across the worlds; how could it associate with the likes of petty people?"
Saying this, Jing Yuan tasted a bite of the sweet potato.
"Therefore, this communication must be a poisonous scheme by the Stellaron Hunters to divert the disaster."
"Stelle" nodded:
"The Stellaron Hunters might have deeper intentions..."
Saying this, she took out a few more sweet potatoes like a magic trick, letting them hang in mid-air next to the fire lance.
"The Xianzhou indeed has a way to solve the 'Stellaron' disaster." Jing Yuan nodded.
"But calming the disaster takes time, and it requires the main force of the Cloud Knights to succeed."
"But this Kafka hiding on the Xianzhou is a disaster after all, and we must guard against it."
"Since the Stellaron Hunters deliberately lured you all to the Luo Fu, you and I can just go with the flow."
"I will give you all the authority to act as you see fit on the Xianzhou in my capacity as General, to lure out the missing Kafka and capture her in one fell swoop."
Jing Yuan's gaze fell on Welt:
"This way, firstly, it clears the dirty water splashed on you all by the Stellaron Hunters,"
"And secondly, it's good to know the purpose of this hunter sneaking into the Xianzhou and what connection it has to the erupting Stellaron."
"What do you think, members of the Express?"
"... What do you think?" Welt Yang turned his head to look at "Stelle."
"Stelle": "But the original intention of this trip was the 'Stellaron'."
Jing Yuan smiled, as if he had already anticipated this reaction.
"Regrettably, when it comes to diplomacy, I must handle official business officially."
"But if we can capture the hunter and learn the purpose of her deploying the Stellaron, it is also a great help in the matter of the 'Stellaron'."
His words were full of sincerity:
"If you treat me with sincerity, the 'Luo Fu' should naturally repay you with sincerity."
Welt sighed and nodded. "Alright."
Jing Yuan smiled.
"Wonderful, it's a deal. I will issue an order now, instructing Yukong to share all intelligence and allocate elite personnel to assist you all in launching a search and capture."
"During your stay on the Xianzhou, if there is anywhere you need the Sky-Faring Commission and the Cloud Knights, don't be polite."
On the other side, the audience's discussion about "Chaos Theory" was still continuing.
"It's hard to handle; the Foundation might as well just activate the 'Deus ex Machina'."
"I'm very curious about one thing: why would the 'Chaos Insurgency' think that all humans except the Foundation would oppose the Foundation? The Foundation isn't completely insulated from the entire human civilization, right?"
"There's more than this kind of question... there are many situations where the veil is shattered, but the number of times the Foundation has actually been destroyed because the veil was shattered... seems to be zero?"
"In the end, the impact of making the existence of anomalies public is just like that. The high-level officials of various countries have long known about the existence of the Foundation. Making it public would only affect their interests, and the Foundation would just have to act more low-key."
"I have read many civilization histories. Even if extraordinary power is not confirmed, many people will claim that they have superpowers and have witnessed supernatural phenomena... so, after 'Anomaly-C-2000' is made public, it will most likely be treated as another form of prank."
"Makes sense."
Amidst the audience's discussion, new text suddenly lit up on the screen that hadn't been extinguished for long.
And after seeing this line of text, the audience who had intended to leave the seats watched one after another.
【An open letter from the Administrator to all colleagues of the Foundation】
【To all colleagues of the Foundation:】
【Recently, the team responsible for managing and executing the "Edith Project" submitted a new observation report.】
【In the report, the Foundation in a parallel world was torn apart by the contradiction of whether the Foundation guards "normality" or guards "humanity," and thus the "Chaos Insurgency" was separated.】
【I know this report has caused a certain sensation within the Foundation, and some employees have begun to doubt whether the Foundation is really that evil, and whether someone has really separated from the Foundation because of this to establish the "Chaos Insurgency."】
【To curb the further deterioration of the situation, the Overseer Council submitted an application for a group memory deletion operation.】
【However, I rejected it, and replacing it is this open letter.】
