The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 630 The joy of reunion

Zhong Yuanzhi's request to enter the imperial city to search was naturally quickly rejected by his superiors.

"Are you crazy?" The superior frowned and said, "I don't care about you. Go and talk to the general. If you can make sense, I will admire you."

Zhong Yuanzhi clenched his fists, and seeing that his superior had no intention of saying anything more, he bowed respectfully and said goodbye.

He was not afraid to go to the general.

After all, the two have known each other for a long time. He was transferred to the Jinwu Guard because of the general's help, otherwise he would have been transferred out of the capital long ago.

Jinwu Guard General Han Xuan was reading quietly in the office at this time.

Although he was a general, he looked more like a weak scholar as he was wearing a cloak and holding a feather fan in the snow, and he looked like an advisor following the General Hubei.

Seeing Zhong Yuanzhi coming, Han Xuan slowly put down the book, gently waved his feather fan, and waited for him to speak.

So Zhong Yuanzhi slowly talked about the Temple Mount explosion today, and mentioned the strange things he had discovered.

"You think that the strange creature is in the Imperial City only because of the new spiritual weapon." General Han shook his head and said, "But that is just a new attempt after all. I'm afraid we can't apply for a search in the Imperial City based on this alone."

"But it is the culprit that killed so many people. How can we let it go so easily?" Zhong Yuanzhi stressed stubbornly, "Moreover, if it is really hiding in the imperial city, it might attack the emperor. Then the Tang Kingdom..."

He hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.

It is not that the Tang Kingdom is in danger, but rather, "Will the Tang Kingdom fall completely into the hands of the Temple?"

These words seemed to hit the nail on the head for General Han, and his eyes darkened slightly.

“If I really apply, who will be held responsible if I make a mistake?”

After hearing what General Han said, Zhong Yuanzhi agreed calmly: "I am willing to take full responsibility."

"No, you can't afford it." General Han looked at him and said calmly, "Although the Imperial City is not like the Temple..."

He did not continue, the implication being clear enough.

Although the imperial city has always been under the shadow of the temple, even the emperor has gradually become obsessed with spiritual practice and has avoided going out, even attending fewer morning court sessions.

But the Li royal family cannot be offended.

Not to mention the old monster lurking in the imperial city.

Moreover, the Li family is also protected by the mysterious dragon veins.

No one knows where the dragon vein is. All we know is that this was the backup plan left by Emperor Xuanwen to protect the royal family.

Everyone secretly speculated that this was the reason why the temple would retain the imperial city, ostensibly to honor the Li family’s legitimate status.

Zhong Yuanzhi's heart sank, and he finally lowered his head and remained silent.

General Han knew that Zhong Yuanzhi was unwilling, so he stood up, walked forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"There are some things we cannot change, so we might as well turn a blind eye to them."

Zhong Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

General Han continued, "Regarding this case, since you believe that it was a strange creature that escaped from the temple, why don't we just do this..."

Zhong Yuanzhi looked up suddenly, "But what if we still haven't caught the monster?"

"That is the responsibility of the Temple." General Han said meaningfully, "If we catch them, it will be our credit."

Zhong Yuanzhi was puzzled: "But if he is really in the Imperial City, how can we catch him?"

"Who said we can't catch him?" General Han smiled softly, "We don't have to worry about catching him now."

Zhong Yuanzhi was a little confused, "You mean..."

"It's normal that you don't know. Recently, the Dali Temple and the Temple have quietly cooperated and arrested many blasphemers." General Han said softly, "Moreover, they are a new type of blasphemers."

Zhong Yuanzhi's eyes lit up. "You mean, these blasphemers are like the so-called escaped monster? They are rational and clear-minded, just like humans?"

"Yes, that's right." General Han nodded, "Or, you can call him a weirdo."

Zhong Yuanzhi looked at the strange energy detector in his hand, and the light in his eyes burned brightly.

General Han said with a smile: "Today we also captured a father and daughter. Next, our Jinwu Guards will also take action."

"But wouldn't this be duplicative of the work of the Temple and the Dali Temple?" Zhong Yuanzhi frowned.

"How could it be repeated? Protecting Chang'an is the responsibility of the Jinwu Guards. If there are any abnormalities that disrupt public order, it is normal for us to take action." General Han said coldly, with a grim look in his eyes.

He paused, his eyes getting colder, "What's more, we have to prepare to hold such power in our own hands and prepare a way out."

"A way out?" Zhong Yuanzhi was confused and uncertain.

"Yuanzhi, you don't need to know too much." General Han said in a low voice, "You just need to understand that times are changing, and we must always be prepared to deal with new changes."

"This is also the reason why I spent a lot of money to buy this strange air detector for you." General Han said, patting Zhong Yuanzhi's shoulder gently, with deep expectations in his eyes.

"In short, we will have a lot of things to do next, so don't let me down."

He paused, then added: "Ruan Mian...she is also optimistic about you."

Ruan Mian was Zhong Yuanzhi’s former superior—the General Protecting the North.

She is also the wife of General Han.

Coming from General Han's mouth, these words are naturally credible and carry a lot of weight.

Zhong Yuanzhi immediately seemed to be energized, he raised his head and chest, and bowed:
"I will immediately write the case files for today's case and start the search and arrest operation of the Jinwu Guards... No, the search and arrest of abnormal people who disrupted the order!"

General Han nodded with satisfaction and watched Zhong Yuanzhi turn around and leave.

As the sound of armor clashing faded away, a dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows in a corner of the room.

"Good, you did a good job." The man's face was blurry like flowing ink, and his voice was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

"Thank you for the compliment." General Han turned around and bowed respectfully.

"The end of the temple is near, we can start preparing." Mo Ying said softly.

"Yes!" General Han replied.

The dark figure nodded and said with a hint of pride:

"I don't think any other forces will suddenly emerge to compete with us for this world..."

……

When Liu Sheng woke up, he felt a chill all over his body.

My ears felt like they were buzzing from the explosion, and everything in front of my eyes was blurry.

There was still a dull pain all over my body from the aftermath of the explosion.

Is she still alive?

[Yes, we are still alive. ]

"Shengsheng, are you awake?"

At this time, a familiar voice was heard, and Liu Sheng felt a little confused.

【Why is she here? 】

[No... no planets have fallen? ]

Then, a blurry figure suddenly enlarged in front of my eyes.

Liu Sheng blinked, and after a moment he gradually adapted to the darkness in front of him. His vision gradually became clear, and his outlines gradually closed.

"Are you Qiao Yu?" Liu Sheng frowned.

The person in front of me had a square face that looked even darker in the dim light, with only a pair of eyes that were particularly bright. His hair was an inch short. In this era, probably few people would have such a hairstyle.

When the other party heard Liu Sheng calling out his name, his bright eyes lit up even more.

"Shengsheng? Are you the Shengsheng that I...know?"

Liu Sheng naturally knew what she was referring to, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am the Liu Sheng you know."

Qiao Yu was suddenly very excited, her smile of joy almost overflowing from her eyes, and then she hugged Liu Sheng.

The thick arms were like iron hoops, almost strangling Liu Sheng to the point where he couldn't breathe.

Liu Sheng coughed a few times, and Qiao Yu let her go angrily.

At this time, an old and weak voice sounded beside him: "Okay, stop playing tricks, please tell me where we are first."

Liu Sheng turned his head and saw that it was Old Lady Su who had also woken up.

She was holding her chest and coughing continuously, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

When the explosion occurred, Liu Sheng reacted instinctively and only had time to wrap the two people with layer after layer of small tentacles.

However, the man who installed the explosive device was too vicious and determined to kill with one strike, so the power of the explosion was so great that although the protection of the small tentacles barely saved the lives of the two, they still could not completely protect them from the high heat burns, aftershocks, strong light and sound.

This caused her to lose her vision and hearing, suffer damage to her internal organs, and she even fainted from a concussion.

I think it was during the time when Qiao Yu was unconscious that she found them and quietly moved them here.

"So, where is this place?" Liu Sheng asked, rubbing his temple and shaking his still dizzy head.

Qiao Yu replied calmly: "This is the underground of the imperial city."
