Chapter 234 The Big One Is Coming

The night was as dark as ink, but the Spirit Hall Office in Xingluo City was still brightly lit. In this huge circular building, countless light screens flashed various data and information, showing all the dynamics and order of the city.

On the top floor of the office, in a spacious and luxurious office, a middle-aged man was sitting behind a large table, rubbing his eyebrows. He was the director of the Spirit Hall Office, Cha Zhenting.

The recent grain transportation matters have exhausted him. This task involves millions of tons of grain, as well as thousands of staff and soul masters.

The difficulty and risk of the task are extremely high. Any problem in any link may lead to catastrophic consequences.

Although the most complex and difficult tasks such as mobilization planning have long been handled by 01, he has not exerted much energy in this regard.

But as a director, his responsibility is to cheer up the complaining staff below, reconcile the conflicts between them, and do psychological massage.

After all, not everyone can face the sudden increase in workload and maintain a balanced mentality.

Some people feel that they are treated unfairly, some feel that they bear too much pressure, and some feel that their value is replaced by 01.

Cha Zhenting had to spend a lot of time and energy to appease them and make them believe that this is for the benefit of the city and the people, and 01 is just an auxiliary tool.

At the same time, the coordination of tasks between various departments is not something that the 01 system can do.

Cha Zhenting also has to deal with various contradictions and conflicts, such as the division of responsibilities between the transportation department and the protection department, the safety measures between the storage department and the supervision department, and other issues involving the distribution of interests and the balance of power.

Just today, as the last truck of grain was transferred out of the granary, Cha Zhenting, who had been busy for a long time, was finally able to relax his nerves and enjoy the normal life that would come next.

Ninety-nine percent of this task has been completed, and the rest are just some routine reports and summaries. Cha Zhenting is proud of himself and 01. They have created a miracle together without any accidents or mistakes.

The person in charge took out a bottle of strong liquor from the bottom drawer of the big table in the office and slowly poured it into the cup on the table.

This is something that Cha Zhenting would not touch normally, but today he felt that he should give himself a reward.

Since the most difficult task has been completed, it is harmless to have a drink and relax your mind.

Cha Zhenting picked up the wine glass, facing the window of the office, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and gently said: "Cheers."

Then he drank it all, feeling the stinging and warmth of the strong liquor in his throat.

As the strong liquor entered his throat, a wave of alcohol formed from the stomach, and a hot current rushed into the brain. The numbness and intoxication brought by alcohol immediately made the person in charge, who had been working tiredly for a long time, feel a little sleepy.

Cha Zhenting leaned back relaxedly, and the wide office chair firmly supported the weight of his body. He put his feet on the desk and stretched comfortably.

He closed his eyes and slowly fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know that while he was sleeping soundly, a huge light screen on the wall of the office suddenly lit up. The light screen showed a few red words: Danger warning! Danger warning!

Below the light screen were some small words: Unknown people in the city were detected to be gathering and moving, and the initial judgment was premeditated human sabotage. Please immediately activate the emergency plan, investigate the cause of the incident and the person responsible, and take measures to protect the remaining food and personnel safety.

There is a countdown in the upper right corner of the light screen: 00:20:00

This is a crime warning of the lowest level, but because it is the lowest level warning, the person in charge who has been obsessed did not notice it.

In the next 20 minutes, the person in charge will regret everything he has done at this time

The former Zhu Family Courtyard in the Noble District of Xinluo City

Zhu Zhuqing stopped and wandered in front of the old wooden door. She didn't know why her father called her back today after not seeing her for so long. Is there something important to discuss?

Finally, she made up her mind to knock on the wooden door, but she didn't expect that the moment her fingers just touched the wooden door, the wooden door had been pulled open.

It was Zhu Zhuqing's mother, Dai Liwei, who opened the door.

The strong woman looked at the environment of the surrounding streets with a serious look. After confirming that there was no problem, she dragged Zhu Zhuqing, who was still in a daze, into the room.

"Come in quickly, don't let anyone see." Dai Liwei whispered.

Zhu Tianxiang sat in the still dim hall. Although the conditions were much better than before, he still hadn't replaced the soul guide chandeliers that could no longer illuminate the entire hall. He looked serious, as if waiting for Zhu Zhuqing's arrival.

He still looked majestic and calm, but Zhu Zhuqing could see his inner anxiety and tension from the wrinkles at the corners of Zhu Tianxiang's eyes and the sweat on his forehead.

This serious atmosphere reminded Du Duqing of the past. The girl clenched her fists. She was different now. She asked.

"Father called me back at this time. Is there something important?"

Zhu Tianxiang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden table, and the sound of tapping echoed in the small living room. Finally. He did not choose to answer the question directly.

Instead, he asked Zhu Zhuqing a question. "Have you been doing well in the Little Samsara Academy during this period?"

Zhu Tianxiang's tone was calm, serious, and full of unquestionable will, just like when he was still the head of the Zhu family. But Zhu Zhuqing seemed to hear a lot of hidden meanings from this sentence.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes rolled up slightly, recalling the days she spent in the Little Samsara Academy.

"My days there were very fulfilling. Both the teacher and Senior Sister Ning Rongrong helped me a lot. I saw a brand new future there."

Zhu Tianxiang seemed to want to continue asking, but at this time Dai Liwei came over and shook his hand.

"Haven't you heard what you want to hear? Tell your daughter the news quickly."

As she said this, she looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a gentle look, who had changed a lot from the past.

The knocking sound echoing in the living room finally stopped, and the owner of the hand that kept knocking on the wooden table finally made up his mind.

Zhu Tianxiang's lips moved slightly, calling out Zhu Zhuqing, a name he hadn't heard for a long time. "Second girl."

The girl tensed up instantly, she knew that the next words would not be simple.

"Next, I will tell you one thing, my wife and I are old, this family has reached the point where you can make a decision."

Zhu Tianxiang's expression was extremely serious, but Zhu Zhuqing, who heard these words, seemed to be struck by lightning and stood there motionless.

Once upon a time, the naive girl also fantasized about such a possibility that she could represent the interests of the Zhu family and become the head of the Zhu family one day.

But when she grew up and saw how the aristocratic world worked, she buried this past fantasy deeply in her heart.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that one day she would eventually marry into the royal family as a pawn in the exchange of interests, and her sister had already embarked on this inevitable path for aristocratic children.

At this time, the girl's mind popped up a figure of a black-haired man who would be teased by Ning Rongrong and embarrassed to the point of scratching the floor. It was everything he did in this world that made this impossible delusion possible.

Zhu Tianxiang didn't care what happened to his second daughter who didn't say a word at this time. Maybe he regarded this reaction as a completely normal and natural situation.

"After midnight tonight, a group of thieves will carry ignition materials to various granaries to destroy them. I got this news from an insider. It's up to you how to deal with this news."

This shocking news instantly brought Zhu Zhuqing, who was trapped in pink delusion, back to reality.

Her feet reacted before her brain, and she turned and ran towards the door. Zhu Zhuqing wanted to tell the person the news as soon as possible.

Zhu Tianxiang's voice stopped the girl who was still running subconsciously.

"This family is now handed over to you to decide, so before you make a decision, you must consider this family first, and don't be rash."

The words were not long, and the breath was not heavy, but every word hit the girl's heart like a heavy hammer.

'Yes, such critical information, why would my father know it? Once this news is leaked, what consequences will my family face in the end? Is it worth it? ’

Her toes turned slowly towards Dai Liwei, who was still standing upright in the hall with aristocratic manners.

But what did the girl see in her mother's eyes? That look contained encouragement and relief, as well as a hint of reluctance. The complex emotions hit Zhu Zhuqing's chest like a large-caliber artillery shell.

Even the previous battle between life and death did not make her so uncomfortable. Do I have to make a 2-choice decision?

At this time, a clear voice that made Zhu Zhuqing slightly annoyed seemed to sound in her ears.

"Hypothesis, deduction, induction, summary, optimization, all problems can be solved one by one through these steps. Zhu Qing, try this problem, how about solving it yourself?"

Ning Rongrong's smile that was so confident that she hated it seemed to appear in front of her. Mao Mao shook her head, and she tried to start to sort out her thoughts.

Mu Zhe's arrival actually not only changed the world's pattern, but also changed the way people around him think.

If it were the original girl, she would probably be overwhelmed by love and resolutely abandon her parents and run to the Small Samsara Academy in the city.

Of course, it was Muzhe's arrival that told these stubborn people that as an adult, why can't I have everything?

At this time, the poor cat's single-core CPU was constantly running at high speed, and a wisp of white mist seemed to emerge from her black and shiny hair.

Those dark hands were afraid of the power of the Small Samsara Palace and the master.

As long as the parents were brought to the Small Samsara Academy, the security problem could be solved, and she could tell them the news while her parents were safe.

Then she reflected on her plan again and found some loopholes in it.

Since her father could get such confidential information, this place must be under close surveillance at this time. This means that once the information is leaked, even if she reported this information through remote communication on the bracelet, this place will become a place for them to retaliate.

If he took the two of them away, he would definitely be exposed and attacked immediately, so how to get to the Small Samsara Palace safely would be the key next.

The girl carefully observed the surroundings, and finally she stopped her eyes on her feet. 'In the end, these difficult problems were solved with your help, Muzhe. '

The solution Zhu Zhuqing thought of was very simple and direct. Take her parents away by walking in the shadow plane.

If she hadn't learned a lot of advanced knowledge in the Little Samsara Palace these days, she would have no way out at this time.

Because in the past, she could only walk a short distance in the shadow world and would be excluded.

But now she can plan the route in that mysterious shadow plane through the knowledge she has learned, and even become a guide to lead other people who have no affinity with shadows through that bizarre world.

Zhu Zhuqing decided that she would take her parents to the Little Samsara Academy and tell the people there the news. She believed that they would have a way to stop the conspiracy of those thieves and protect the safety of the city. She also believed that her father would understand her choice, after all, he gave this decision to her.

She showed a firm and sweet smile to her father and mother,

"Father, mother, I know why you told me this news, and I know how much you have paid for this family. But I can't watch this city fall into crisis, nor can I let you take risks. So, please come with me, I have a place that can guarantee your safety, and we can solve this problem together."

Zhu Zhuqing unfolded all her soul rings and struggled to tear open the crack between the real space and the shadow plane in this courtyard. She stretched out her hand and said.

"Please follow me. Father, mother."

Zhu Tianxiang looked at the crack in front of him with some surprise. What did this little daughter experience outside to have such a skill? This is a space-type soul skill!

As the knowledgeable head of the Zhu family, he certainly knew what this meant.

As the two crossed the crack and came to the shadow plane, they instantly felt the rejection from this world and the erosion of the shadow power on their bodies.

Looking at this shadow plane that seemed to have turned into a gray-white photo, the two were shocked. They wanted to make a sound, but found that they could not make a sound here.

Zhu Zhuqing guided the two to shuttle through this bizarre world.

Sometimes they jumped to another building along the shadow of the house, and sometimes they came to the top of a house through the long shadow of the street lamp.

Sometimes they even followed their daughter, jumped into the dark shadow, and then got out from the distant exit.

How to find these paths is the ability she got by combining the knowledge she learned from the academy with practice.

The Xiaolun Samsara Academy, which originally took a long time to reach, arrived in less than a quarter of an hour in these jumps.

Looking at the familiar scenery in the academy, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then informed her classmates of the news.
