"Hands?"

"Ji, I guess you are actually very resistant to the ability to use your right hand, right?"

Sakuraman Shu suddenly stammered and didn't say anything.

"Student Ji, I've said it a long time ago that it's important to know your own heart, especially for you. The ability of your right hand can be seen as a confrontation between minds, but in a sense, it can also be seen as communication between minds. You haven't fully known yourself yet, and you're still closing your heart. This state of yours will naturally be reflected in the abilities you use. If you close your heart, it will naturally hinder your communication with the person whose void has been extracted. If you resist this ability, the void will naturally resist being used by you."

Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 30: Night Talk

But even though he said that, Sakuramitsu Shu still couldn't imagine what to do.

So Ling Wu Ji just suggested that he try to use that ability more to solve his own problems.

In the end, it was Tsuchiya Gaya who came forward and said that he would solve the problem and that he would solve the worry of Sakuman Shu. He just asked Ling Wuji to try to get the Origin Stone through Fei Shiyuan, and then proceed with the next plan.

As for what the next plan is, neither of them said.

But it certainly won’t be the same.

However, Ling Wuji did not delve into it further. He just took a quick look at Shinomiya Ayase and sorted out the sickness in her body before leaving their base that looked like an abandoned factory. He stood in this city area that looked like the ruins of a destroyed world, looked up at the starry sky, and then exhaled a long breath: "'Beidou Soul Fixing and Life Extension Technique'? Soul materialization? Stone of Origin? Or perhaps, there is also the Dresden Slate?"

If the void can be considered the materialization of the soul, then why isn't the Sword of Damocles the materialization of the soul?

"What is the root cause of all this? The underworld? Alaya? Or is it really just like the legend says, a disaster caused by a meteorite from outer space?"

Although it is not incomprehensible.

There are many alien creatures on this earth. The creator of the Crystal Valley in South America is said to be from outer space. Although it was confirmed by the Holy Church that it has the ability of a vampire and has inherited the status of the fifth ancestor of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles who tried to capture it but was killed instantly by it, it is indeed an alien creature and has no concept of death. In other words, even with Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, its death line cannot be found.

However, this creature called Ort currently only lives in the Crystal Valley.

So no one can be sure what its purpose is.

And this Origin Stone...

"Whatever. There are many things that want to destroy the world anyway. The worst that can happen is that I can use the earth veins to suppress them after solving the problem. If I can really research a third method from it, why would I be afraid of Luo Hao? I will overthrow her when I go back and she can take my place!"

What a magician calls magic is more like a divine power than a spell. Of course, this kind of thing is just like the swordsmanship in China and the kendo in Japan. It's just a difference in name. Anyway, Ling Wuji doesn't have the ambition to complete Qin Shihuang's feat of "standardizing the writing system, the wheels of the vehicles, and the stars" in the mysterious world. So he lets them say whatever they want, as long as he knows it in his heart.

Although from a realistic perspective, the Origin Stone may not be controlled.

But at present, the power of the Dresden Slate itself is not very stable.

The "Kagdu Crater" incident is a proof of this.

"Forget it, let's get that thing first."

Ling Wuji walked while calling Awashima Seri. Not long after, a lazy, complaining voice came from the other end: "What time do you think it is now?"

"Yeah, one in the morning."

Then the person on the other side said weakly: "What's the matter? The Origin Stone? Okay, I get it. I will contact the director tomorrow and then go with him to make a suggestion to the King of Gold. But are you really sure? Because that thing is too dangerous, it has been sealed up all this time. If you want the King of Gold to agree to give it to you, you must at least have a reliable plan, right? I want to see your written documents after I get up tomorrow. I won't mention it to the director without written documents!"

"Hey! How do you write a written document for something like this?"

“Why can’t you write a written document?”

"Why? It involves my own magic foundation. If I put it into words, wouldn't that give others an advantage?"

"Why don't you just muddle through?"

"Then why don't you just help me fool around?"

The person on the other end obviously didn't want to argue with him anymore and immediately hung up the phone. The night sky suddenly returned to silence.

Ling Wuji stood still for a moment, then put away his phone and said, "Come out, no need to hide anymore. It's quite ironic. There was a magician who was my mortal enemy. He once said something to me, but I ended up defeating him in his magic workshop. But I can also say this to you, 'Just because I get weaker doesn't mean you get stronger, right'?"

Kamiya Kaori walked out of the shadows still in her avant-garde outfit, with half of her jeans' legs cut off at the root, her crystal clear thighs looking exceptionally white in the night, her white T-shirt was tied up, revealing her belly button, and she still held the two-meter-long sword in her hand, but her delicate face did not have the hostility that was overflowing at first, instead she looked a little embarrassed:

"I'm not here to fight you."

"What is this? You want to relax my mind and then kill me with one blow?"

Kamiya Kaori threw the sword and its scabbard in her hand like a javelin, and it stuck diagonally into the ground far away, splashing a cloud of dust. Then she said, "Now you believe it, right?"

Ling Wuji frowned and said, "You said you didn't come to fight me, but you came to communicate with me? I think there is nothing to talk about between us."

"I heard about what you did after you got the ley lines."

"whats the matter?"

"It's about clarifying the order between humans and demons, between the secular side and the mysterious side."

"so what?"

"I think you did a great job."

"You found out my whereabouts and came all the way here. You don't just want to praise me, do you? Why don't you fight with me to stretch your muscles?" Ling Wuji even yawned out of boredom.

"Is your hostility towards me so deep? But if so, why did you let me go in the first place?" Kanzaki Kaori asked in confusion, and then said, "I thought we could reconcile."

"and then?"

"what?"

"What about after the reconciliation?" Ling Wuji said impatiently, "I don't care about reconciliation or not. After all, you and I are not the same kind of people. Whether we are enemies or friends, we will eventually return to our own lives. You don't have to feel anything just because I let you go. It was purely because you didn't want to kill me at the time, and I was too lazy to kill you. You came all the way here and said you wanted to reconcile, so let's reconcile. But let me say this in advance, my target is definitely not just that vein. If you still want to stop me at that time, you'd better draw your knife now!"

After hearing what Ling Wu Ji said, Kamiya Kaori just looked at him steadily.

"If everything is ok, I'll go back to sleep."

"Have you been busy with the Apocalypse virus recently? If there is anything I can do for you, I can help."

Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 31: Exchange

Although Ling Wuji intends to use the means of the mysterious side to solve the problem, as he said before, most of the people on the mysterious side of Japan are not in the same system as him, so the cooperation they can play is quite limited. Although the Amakusa-style Cross Cult is a faction of the kind of grocery store, Kamisaki Kaori's strength is basically only reflected in combat. If she can perform a miracle of "five loaves and two fishes" like Yahweh in the Bible, Ling Wuji may look at her with new eyes -

But she couldn't figure it out.

So Ling Wuji just dealt with it casually.

However, the next day, Awashima Seri brought back news that Tokiin refused to give him the Origin Stone.

The reason is not that the Origin Stone is too dangerous, but rather that it is too dangerous to hand over the Origin Stone to him.

Although Changlu Dajue of the Golden Kingdom himself did not actually object, his subordinate Fei Shiyuan had already shown hostility towards Ling Wuji. In other words, they believed from the beginning that Ling Wuji had no ability to resolve the situation at all. Even if he wanted to set up the sky curtain barrier, that kind of project was too heavy for him alone. Although Fei Shiyuan, as Aozaki Touko said, could not be considered as a member of the mainstream system of the mysterious side, it did not prevent them from understanding the relevant knowledge and making decisions based on that knowledge.

In their opinion, even if Ling Wuji really had the method to set up the sky curtain barrier, he would ultimately have to rely on the people on the mysterious side of mainland Japan. Even if Ling Wuji was the one who ultimately led the construction of the sky curtain barrier, as long as the layered structure in the middle was not built by Ling Wuji himself, they would have a way to restrain Ling Wuji.

Moreover, even if Ling Wuji's miraculous medical skills cannot completely cure the Apocalypse Virus, he can be asked to treat some important figures in Japan.

Therefore, Fei Shiyuan did not object to Guo Changlu Dajue's initial decision.

However, the development of things soon exceeded their expectations: after initially gaining control of the earth veins, he was able to overwhelm the natural saint, and then within just two days, he was like a god and defeated all those who were hostile to him in the area. No one dared to continue testing him, because anyone who could test the lower limit of his ability must at least be a king, right?

But they had no way to say anything about Ling Wuji's actions.

So when Ling Wuji wanted to get the Stone of Origin through them, they almost instinctively tested Ling Wuji.

Although they were aware of the consequences of letting Wu Ji build the sky curtain barrier from the very beginning.

But they did not expect that this day would come so soon.

The gap between reality and plan forced them to respond with stress.

This is the instinct of almost all political animals.

"I didn't expect that the Golden King's clan has actually begun to become political animals. Aren't they the extension of Guo Changlu Dajue's will?"

Ling Wuji was just complaining and had no intention of writing a plan report according to the requirements of the Institute.

This is the temptation from Fei Shi Yuan to him:

They did not explicitly reject Ling Wuji's request, but asked him to write a plan report. However, Ling Wuji knew with his toes that if he really did what they asked, the other party would definitely nitpick on the first version of the plan report, and then they would fall into endless bureaucratic wrangling. In this wrangling, they would constantly test Ling Wuji's bottom line. Although they might give the Origin Stone to Ling Wuji, they would definitely use this matter to reach a series of political exchanges with him. Maybe they would use other things to corrupt him in the process, such as beauty or something -

Although Ling Wuji was not a person like Liu Xiahui who could remain calm in the face of temptation, it was too bad for someone to figure out his weaknesses and then use ulterior motives to attack him, so he had no choice but to cut off this possibility from the beginning.

"But what if I'm that kind of woman with ulterior motives?"

After hearing Ling Wuzhi's complaints, Awashima Seri, who was already in a bad mood, said

Ling Wuji carefully looked her up and down several times, and then said: "Although I have a good impression of all beautiful women, but..."

"but what?"

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to joke with you. When I think about how you Japanese can use a virus that can be called a world-destroying crisis as a bargaining chip for political exchange, I'm so worried that I can't even taste the taste of Coke."

"But you don't have any evidence that you can solve this problem?"

"Will it be better if we let things go on like this?"

Awashima Seri said seriously: "But they don't dare to believe you. What if you are the kind of person who wants to destroy the world when you hold the Origin Stone? This is like handing you the launch button of a nuclear bomb."

"But didn't you know from the beginning that after the Sky Curtain Barrier was built, there would be an extra nuclear bomb hanging over your heads?"

"But they think that they will build a good enough relationship with you in the process of building the sky barrier, and have enough common interests with you, so that you will feel that destruction is not worth the loss compared to salvation. But for you now..."

"They're not afraid of me destroying the world, but of me destroying them, right?"

Ling Wuji couldn't help but sneer.

"So now, they want to establish a good relationship with you in this way..."

"So you're here to lobby for them?"

"To be honest, I don't really trust you either."

Awashima Seri gave a bitter smile, but the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly changed from the serious tension of official business to the private chat between friends. This woman who looked like an elite in the workplace was originally sitting upright, with a meticulous expression and clear and calm eyes, but at this moment she suddenly relaxed. She supported her face with her hands, turned her head to look out the window, and said softly: "You give people the feeling that you are too thin. People can't understand what you live for. Although you seem to want to take revenge on Master Luo Hao, Master Luo Hao is actually just a symbol in your heart, right? Just like some students say they are going to apply to a certain school, for you, it is just a goal that you have to choose when you reach a fixed stage in your life, but in fact, no one knows whether you will get drunk and crazy in the middle of the night after the exam and jump off the building to cheer up or something."

"Is this how I look to you?"

When Ling Wuji heard such words, he didn't feel embarrassed or angry at all, he just said.

"Then what do you think you are like in other people's eyes?"

"Are you a self-centered elitist who thinks the value of others' existence is only to serve as a foil for yourself, just like your department head?"

"Even if the director is really that kind of person, he still believes that others have value in existence. But you don't give people the feeling that way. Although what you have been doing can also be called good things."

Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 32: Inquiry

To put it bluntly, the matter is actually very simple. Just like Ling Wuji used the reason that Kamiya Kaoru was not in the same system as him to perfunctorily deal with her, the people from Fei Shiyuan or the Slate system are now perfunctorily dealing with him with the same reason, and then trying to pull Ling Wuji into that system first, so that Ling Wuji can become "one of their own".

In other words, Ling Wuzhi must reach a sufficiently deep exchange of interests with them.

Only in this way can they trust Ling Wu Ji.

"In a sense, you are quite competent as a liaison officer."
