Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 876 Traveling far away

Let me reiterate, Li Chengxi wants to live a peaceful life.

Knowing about the Nine Branches and the fact that there was a group of supernatural creatures hidden under normal society did make Li Chengxi curious for a while.

But it only lasted for a while. His curiosity was not that strong. As long as he didn't get close to me, he could do whatever he wanted.

So when Qian Sen invited Li Chengxi for help several times, he refused and did not intend to get involved.

But this time, things hit me right in the face and I had to get involved.

Just listen, Lingbao Heavenly Palace, just by hearing the name you can tell it is definitely not a small place.

"What's that?"

"You asked me what it is, and I can only answer that I don't know. The history of Lingbao Palace can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty at the earliest. In fact, it should be much older than the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but there are no actual descriptive records left. There is only a name and the record that it suppressed the demons in the world."

"There's nothing. What should I do?"

"It's not like there are no clues at all..."

"Wait a minute, you said Lei Lei has a clue?"

"Yes, that's probably why she was attacked."

"You mean, these monsters want to destroy that Lingbao Heavenly Palace, and then restore their magic power and live freely?"

“That’s probably the purpose.”

"Hasn't there been monsters for a long time? Why didn't they do anything before?"

"In the past, the monsters were scattered and few knew about the existence of Lingbao Palace. But now. Look at the mobile phone in your hand and you will know how convenient communication is now."

Is this fucking okay?
"Moreover, we suspect that external forces are involved, but the details are still unclear."

"Such a big thing, and you, Section Nine, didn't react at all?"

Gan Xiaoyan was completely confused before she came. Logically, even if it was not level one combat readiness, she should have been fully mobilized.

"This is the difficult part. Not all of us in the nine departments share the same idea. Some people think that we should take this opportunity to eliminate all the monsters in one fell swoop. From now on, we should treat them like pests and kill them one by one."

"..."

How brutal.

Monsters, like humans, have good and bad sides. Some people in the Ninth Department believe that we cannot make a one-size-fits-all statement.

Another group of people believe that the Ninth Department should put people first. The existence of monsters has obviously affected people, so they cannot be allowed to stay.

This is just like a dog that bites people cannot survive. No matter how cute the animal is, the absolute status of humans must be ensured first and cannot be touched.

Both sides say you are right and I say I am right, but in the end no one can convince the other.

"Anyway, the headquarters is still wrangling over this matter. At present, the faction advocating annihilation has the upper hand. They don't ask to convince us, they just want to delay us. As long as the monsters destroy Lingbao Tiangong and restore their magic power, it will be the end of the monsters."

Damn, you guys are not planning to send troops to physically wipe them out...

So it is true that where there are people there are disputes, and the nine departments are not monolithic.

To put it simply, this matter is about a group of monsters who want to restore their magic power and live freely, most likely with the assistance of external forces. However, a group of people on the Nine Sections side think that they should just let them do whatever they want. Once the situation becomes serious and is about to get out of the control of the Nine Sections, they can justifiably carry out genocide against the monsters.

The other faction with fewer people among the nine departments intends to keep things quiet, but they are clearly not in the upper hand now.

This is roughly the process. The reason of the war faction is understandable, because the nine departments are already stretched thin just managing the time travelers. Since the Hidden Mist Village can no longer manage the monsters, these guys now have no stable residence. No matter what management strategy is used, it will cost manpower and material resources.

In that case, we might as well just end it all.

I feel like the war faction must have been driven crazy by the heavy workload. There are quite a few people like this in Section Nine...

But then again, Li Chengxi felt that both options were fine, since he was not a monster after all.

In his opinion, this matter is not important. What is important is how to deal with Lei Lei's situation.

"What should I do? Let her stay with me first?"

"Too passive. Lei Lei is a disciple of the Lei family in Jingzhou, and the clues of Lingbao Palace can basically be traced back to Jingzhou. We in the Ninth Department have always suspected that the Lei family knows something, but since they don't say anything, we can't force them to ask."

"Just tell me what to do."

"At present, our Ninth Department has not made a decision. It will definitely be too late if we decide later. So my suggestion is to ask you to escort Lei Lei back to the Lei family and check on the situation at the Lei family. I have lost contact with my colleagues in Jingzhou. I am afraid the situation is not optimistic. I am also worried about letting Gan Xiaoyan go."

"...You really know how to order people around. Don't you have other external aid? The one who came to treat Lei Lei just now, a master repairman named Lin Tianci, seems to be very powerful. Wouldn't it be better to let him go for this job?"

"How much face do you think I have? He is almost a real immortal, I can't do anything to him. Besides, the matter with the monsters is not a big deal. There are too many things to do. Just tell me whether you want to go or not. Give me a straight answer."

"Fuck, you're still being so arrogant? It's like you're begging me!"

Li Chengxi looked at Lei Lei, then at Gan Xiaoyan, and sighed:
"Okay, I'll go."

Qian Sen probably knew that Li Chengxi would definitely agree, so he said that.

He is the type of person who will never do anything when it does not concern him, but he will definitely not stand by and watch when people around him are in trouble.

To put it bluntly, they lack empathy for strangers and are particularly protective of their own shortcomings.

"In short, the best thing would be to kill the guy who is stirring up trouble behind the monster, and keep Lingbao Palace intact. If that doesn't work, prioritize your own safety, and don't worry about other things. By that time, the army will probably be responsible for cleaning up the mess."

Howitzer fire covers the monsters, right? I understand.

"That's it. I have some information about Lingbao Palace and the monsters here. I'll send it to you later. I may not be able to contact you recently. Xiaoyan, if you have any questions, call Brother Ren. If he's not here, Brother Dong should be able to do it."

The two people he was talking about were Ren Baolai who had just appeared, and Chen Dong, who was a contemporary of Qian Sen.

Ren Baolai has been transferred to the ninth department at the provincial level, while Chen Dong is in the next city, which is very close. Besides, both of them are veterans, so it would be more reliable to call them if there is any problem.

"Anyway, you guys be careful. When we contact each other next time, this matter will probably be settled. I have to go to a meeting. See you later."

After saying this, Qian Sen hung up the phone in a hurry.

Li Chengxi leaned back on the sofa and sighed:
"It's so troublesome..."

Li Chengxi usually reads three scripts, watches TV series and plays games when he has nothing to do. It's so comfortable. But now, he has to go on a long journey.

Gan Xiaoyan picked up the phone and asked:
"I'll arrange the trip right away. Brother Li, do you have any requests?"

"By the way, can you reimburse me for the train tickets?"

"……Give."

Gan Xiaoyan couldn't quite keep up with Li Chengxi's train of thought.
