Chapter 410 You

The one who authorized my father to handle the affairs of the sacred mountain... was the head of the Predator family, Venerable White Tiger!

This truth is undoubtedly terrifying, but Jiang Qian has also imagined this possibility.

It is not that he doubts his father's ability, but no matter how strong a person's personal power is, it is inevitable that he will be suspicious if he hides the unconventional power somewhere in the country under the nose of the official organization and hides it for several years without anyone noticing.

But what Jiang Qian can't figure out is: why?

As the Predator family ranks in the top three among the ten clans, why does it have to use such cumbersome means to operate this matter?

There must be a secret that he doesn't know.

"Why?" Jiang Qian asked.

This "why" includes why the Predator family sealed or even hid the "ancestor god" in this way, and also includes the reason why the Predator family intervened in this matter.

"Your reaction is unexpectedly calm."

The White Tiger Venerable on the other side of the phone sighed with a smile:

"Yes, this matter involves a lot of things, including the interference of other families' forces, and the risks and difficulties of containing unconventional forces. It is not easy to handle."

"But after weighing many options, we chose the current strategy as you can see, which can not only preserve the remnants of Xuesong to the greatest extent, but also maintain the control of the ancestor god of unconventional forces for a long time. At that time, our means of controlling unconventional forces were still very limited. It was fortunate that Xuesong and Yun Zhongshuo could work together to seal the ancestor god. Since the seal is effective, let's keep it like this for the time being."

Now Jiang Qian understood.

His father did not really leave the Predator Family at that time, but took over the sealing and supervision of the ancestor god's power in another capacity. Including the maintenance of the old subordinates.

The relationship between the ten clans is both an alliance and a check and balance. At that time, the Zerg was also one of the three major clans, and its strength was enough to be on par with the Predator Family. It is reasonable for the Predator Family to be cautious about it, and "secretly crossing Chencang" became the preferred strategy.

"Of course, in addition to this, Xue Song also has another important mission, which will be discussed later."

The White Tiger Venerable continued:

"Now you only need to answer me one question, where is the seal of the Ancestral God now, is it safe?"

Jiang Qian thought about it and replied: "A place that only I know. At present, it seems very safe."

The Ancestral God is sealed in Jiang Qian's consciousness space.

Strictly speaking, it is in the body of the Beast King in the consciousness space!

In addition to Jiang Qian himself and the White Snake Mother who was in the seal, the only people who knew about it were Sha Jin and Wange who were present at the time. What can be assured is that both of them have a clear contractual relationship with Jiang Qian, and now they are lying alive in his four-panel window props.

"Okay!"

The White Tiger Venerable smiled and said:

"Then, are you willing to hand it over to the official for disposal?"

This is an expected question, and it is also one of the important bargaining chips in Jiang Qian's hand.

"If conditions permit, I would like to throw away this hot potato now." Jiang Qian said.

Different things, in the hands of different people, will have completely different magical uses.

Just like the Ancestral God, as the source of unconventional power, He is a dangerous source that may explode at any time when He stays in Jiang Qian's consciousness space, but if He falls into the hands of the lawful officials, it means different values ​​and opportunities.

So it is not impossible to trade.

However, Venerable White Tiger was not interested in this: "Unfortunately, even the lawful officials have no perfect way to contain unconventional power like the Ancestral God."

"What do you mean by no perfect method?"

"The cost is very high." Venerable White Tiger said bluntly, "It requires at least one holder of the priesthood to pay for it."

Jiang Qian was stunned when he heard this. How similar is this to the price that the White Snake Mother sealed the Ancestral God?

He then thought of the accusation that Centipede Gong made to the White Snake Mother, and a question naturally came out: "From what you said, it seems that you are not in a hurry to take back the power of the Ancestral God?"

"Of course, the source of unconventional power needs to be recovered! But if the cost is too high, it takes a long time to consider." Venerable White Tiger said.

"It's expensive... Let's take a long-term view?"

If the cost of recovering the ancestor god involves the sacrifice of a priest, it is defined as "expensive", then how should the cost of a cruel war of gods be calculated?

Obviously, the price mentioned by Venerable White Tiger is not limited to this.

Jiang Qian pondered the deep meaning of this: "What other price is that the Predator Family can't afford?"

Then, he heard the most incredible answer--

"You!"

...

When Jiang Qian walked out of Venerable White Tiger's suite, many elements of this conversation were still circling in his mind.

In this conversation with a huge difference in status, he got almost all the information he was curious about and confused about! Including the legendary war of gods, the death of his father and the hint of Jiang Yang's survival.

And Venerable White Tiger, as a high-ranking party, never made any mandatory demands on him.

Not only that, the other party also generously agreed to the continued existence of the Shenshan Organization in an independent form, and tacitly allowed it to cooperate with the lawful officials in intelligence as a civilian organization. From now on, each party will take what they need and forgive the past.

Forgive the past!

This result even exceeded Jiang Qian's expectations.

If the other party was not the head of a high-ranking family, he would have to think twice before saying this.

So, naturally, Jiang Qian also readily accepted the job invitation from the White Tiger Venerable: as a cadre of the "Task Force" that is being formed, he will serve in the special mission execution team.

It is said that in this process, his unique abilities and talents will be applied.

As a super genius that the official rarely sees in ten years, an elite role model of the young generation of lawful cardholders, and an expert who pioneered the mutation healing technology, he should participate in the investigation of the "unconventional power" that is sweeping the world-

"Jiang Qian, whether you are aware or not, it is your family's inheritance that affects you, your extraordinary gifts shape you, and then, Donghai Lan Junxian guides you in unconventional ways, allowing you to get the benefits and honors you have today. All these are experiences that only exist in you and cannot be replicated."

"Even if you have become a container for the ancestor god of unconventional power, the Predator family still needs you, and the lawful official needs you!"

...

With many benefits and the atmosphere at that time, Jiang Qian readily accepted the invitation.

And from this, he figured out several things:

First, the method of the White Snake Mother's seal was probably also the work of the White Tiger Venerable;

Second, the core theme of this conversation has never been about the sacred mountain, and even the power of the ancestor god is secondary. The White Tiger Venerable wants him!

To be precise, it is his scarcity and loyalty.

Loyalty is easy to understand.

Pandering to the people's preferences and winning people's hearts are the usual means of the superiors, and Jiang Qian can see it clearly.

But what does his "scarcity" mean?

What "scarcity" can be compared with the sacred mountain incident and even the power of the ancestor god...

Jiang Qian came to the end of the corridor and stepped into the elevator.

Just as he was about to press the floor, the elevator started by itself.

"?"

"Please be patient, this is the arrangement of the Venerable." The old man's voice came from the loudspeaker in the elevator room.

Jiang Qian recognized that it was the voice of Butler Di.

"Okay."

He waited in silence, watching the numbers symbolizing the floors gradually increase, and slowly went up with the elevator.

Ji Ming had mentioned the matter of the Special Operations Department to him a long time ago, but it was very vague at the time. I guess the work content must be quite risky.

Now, Venerable White Tiger has formally made an invitation, which also indirectly confirms its risk and historical opportunity.

Unless my scarcity is related to the mission of the Special Operations Department. Holding the safety of the Jiang family in my hand, and giving me many benefits and conveniences, I can work for the official without distraction, like my father... Jiang Qian secretly calculated.

Unfortunately, he had something else he didn't have time to ask clearly, and was diverted by the old fox.

In addition to establishing the Shenshan Organization, my father also received other tasks. What would that be?

What else can a lawful license holder who resigned from the official special identity do for the official in secret?

At this time, the elevator made a crisp "ding" sound and then stopped steadily.

"We're here." Butler Di reminded.

Then, the elevator door opened.

A black metal door appeared in front of Jiang Qian.

The metal door slowly opened as the elevator stopped, like a waiter in a black suit bowing to the guests.

"Please come in."

"What is this place?" Jiang Qian peeked into the gradually opening door with a hint of vigilance.

It looked like a confidential secret room.

A row of solemn filing cabinets were displayed in front of him, and one row of cabinets was open.

"It is a special personnel appointment and dismissal archive of the Predator family that is kept secret. It contains the archive records of your father since he joined the Predator, including appointment and dismissal information, and important action tracks."

Butler Di's voice came through the loudspeaker in the elevator:

"Go and have a look. Since you already know your father's identity, you should be proud of it."

Jiang Qian's heart rate was increasing.

This was a rare opportunity for him to look at his father's completely different life from a new perspective!

So he walked out of the elevator, walked towards the door, came to the row of open cabinets, reached out his hand, and picked up a stack of documents inlaid with film from the first cabinet.

That was the father's initial application statement when he first joined, with a personal ID photo of his youth attached to it.

"Jiang Xuesong, male, 28 years old, married..."

Jiang Qian silently recited his father's familiar handwriting, and tried to substitute his father's mood at the time, describing his yearning for a new world. The words were concise, well-founded, rational and restrained, and full of academic flavor.

This was the father in his memory.

The pillar of the Jiang family who disappeared into the ocean with the turbulence when he was eight years old.

He flipped through the pages one by one, and every word and every piece of information entered his mind, connecting with the "archive" accumulated in his mind for many years.

Imagine how his father balanced his light and dark identities, while taking care of family responsibilities, and overcoming one difficult and dangerous difficulty after another in the super-species world.

Jiang Qian had read almost all of the copy numbers that appeared in the database. He could imagine the dilemmas his father had experienced as a witness or even the first to kill the pass.

Within the year, he was promoted to a powerful person.

The environment was very chaotic at that time. The lawful order had not formed a perfect system, the disorderly card holders were rampant, and unconventional forces began to appear.

My father was entrusted with an important task, took over the investigation of unconventional events, and gradually began to lead the team.

Therefore, he had less time to spend with his family.

Along with it came more difficult dungeon challenges and more risky tasks.

Of course, the specific information about the "mission" has been hidden, but it is marked with a clear risk level. Two of the tasks marked as "SSS" level risk reminded Jiang Qian of his father's participation in the hunt for the Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo...

The resume part ended with his father's "resignation", and no record of the "hidden mission" mentioned by the White Tiger Venerable was found.

Jiang Qian put the information back.

Then, he looked at the next cabinet.

It was filled with densely packed medals, almost all made of precious metals, and they were still shiny after many years.

...

An hour later, the elevator stopped at the first floor, and Jiang Qian walked out of the elevator again.

Elder Helian was waiting at the door and led Jiang Qian back the same way.

Ji Ming and Lan Junxian were still waiting where they parted. Seeing Jiang Qian coming out with Elder Helian, they also stood up from the sofa.

"Jiming, come with me."

Elder Helian took Ji Ming away.

Only Lan Junxian and Jiang Qian were left in the empty hall.

Lan Junxian looked at Jiang Qian and smiled gently: "How are you? Are you okay?"

"Very good." Jiang Qian also smiled.

"It seems that Venerable White Tiger is an approachable person."

Lan Junxian complimented casually and said:

"When things here are over, we should have a good chat. How about it? If you are in good spirits, let's find a place to sit when we go back?"

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Qian meaningfully.

Teacher Lan seemed to know something... Jiang Qian nodded calmly: "Okay, I'm available anytime."
