The stolen magic is a bit magical

The flying car soared through the air, heading straight for the back mountain.

At the top of the back mountain, there was a cave. Lin Xiaosu followed the man in red into the cave. A heavy door opened silently, and an old man stood up from behind a table.

The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair.

At first glance, he looks like an ordinary retired old man.

However, his eyes were as bright as autumn water.

He clearly had no genetic aura and no flow of true energy, but Lin Xiaosu still sensed the unique demeanor and aura of someone in a high position.

The heavy door closed behind me.

The young man in red was nowhere to be seen.

The old man came up to him, smiled, and extended his hand.

"Dragon Head!" Lin Xiaosu extended her hand and shook hands with the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "Sit down!"

The two sat down on the sofa in front.

The dragon reached out and picked up a teapot on the table. The teapot contained boiling water, and there were two teacups on the table. The tea leaves were put into the cups, and the boiling water was poured in. The tea leaves stood upright and slowly unfurled.

"How is the view from the 33rd floor?" the dragon head asked with a smile.

"It's quite spacious, but the wind is a bit strong and it's a little cold." Lin Xiaosu took the tea he offered and bowed slightly in thanks.

"It's lonely at the top, but we must also admit that only by standing at a high place can we see a more distant view," said the dragon head.

The two exchanged questions and answers, seemingly just casual conversation, but they also revealed some hidden meanings.

This describes the scenery, but it's not really about the scenery; it's about the current state of life.

The dragon head lifted the teacup, took a small sip, and said, "The headquarters forum exploded because of your ascent of the tower today!"

"It exploded?" Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat.

"You have level three access; you can take a look for yourself."

Lin Xiaosu stretched out her hand, holding a longan, and entered the headquarters forum, where the posts were all sorts of things...

Ninety-nine percent of them were speaking out for themselves.

In an instant, his heart surged with emotion.

The review team rejected his application to Qianlong that day, and today, the Qianlong headquarters forum detonated this bombshell.

"The review team consisted of seven people that day. I have already ordered all seven of them to be dismissed from their posts and stripped of all their positions!" the Dragon Head said.

Lin Xiaosu's hand trembled slightly, and the longan moved away from the bridge of her nose.

Are you a little surprised?

"Yes!"

The dragon head said, "If this were merely responding to public opinion, if this were simply upholding justice for you, you should indeed be surprised. But this is not the case!"

"Is the Dragon Head... setting up a trap?" Lin Xiaosu pondered.

“Yes!” the Dragon Head said, “I know that some of these seven people have problems, but I can’t be sure who it is. But you must believe that all chains of evil are reinforced by power. As long as power exists, the chain will not break. If power disappears, clues will appear.”

"I admire you!" Lin Xiaosu raised her glass in a toast.

He understood what the dragon head meant.

The fact that the leader of the dragon government arrested these seven people is not a response to public concerns.

It wasn't to avenge him.

It was a setup.

As he said, there might be a traitor among these seven people, but it's uncertain who it is.

In this situation, how do we identify the traitor?

The best approach is to break them out of their comfort zone—their current work situation.

All the power they possessed was wiped out.

They suddenly withdrew from the center of power.

Those without disloyal intentions will accept the status quo, fully embodying the public service principle of "revolution is a brick, to be moved wherever needed."

But what about those with ulterior motives?

They lost their footing.

They will be at a loss.

People on the periphery ask them for intelligence, and people on their own lines ask them for reports, but they can't provide any of it. So they have to open up new footholds. The process of opening up new footholds is to observe them and make them reveal their weaknesses.

“Speaking of this matter, I need to thank you!” Long Shou said, “Without yesterday’s interrogation and the arrest of 28 people, I wouldn’t have dared to make this move!”

Yes, this is a move that the Dragon Head had wanted to make for a long time.

But he didn't dare.

This move must be made in a relatively clean environment; before the hidden traitor is eliminated, this move will only alert the enemy.

Yesterday, Lin Xiaosu uncovered 28 traitors in one fell swoop, ushering in the "cleanest" era for the Qianlong headquarters, and this move can now be made.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Speaking of gratitude, I should be the one thanking the Dragon Head."

"What are you thanking me for? I've given you over ten million in funds to get married, all in total." The Dragon Head laughed.

"Cough..." Lin Xiaosu scratched her head: "This really isn't! This is what I deserve..."

"Haha, you're not being pretentious at all!" the dragon head said. "Then what are you thanking me for?"

"Two! First, the red flag!"

As he said this, Lin Xiaosu stared at the dragon head, this being the first time he had confirmed the matter of the Red Flag.

The dragon head did not deny it at all: "No need to thank me. The Iron Law of the Hidden Dragon states that anyone who makes a great contribution to the country can apply for family protection."

“I can understand having family members to protect you, but you’ve deployed the Red Flag.”

The dragon head laughed: "Which level of protection to deploy depends not on the identity of the protected object, but on the level of danger."

Lin Xiaosu understood.

The Hidden Dragon Iron provides protection.

However, the type of protection to deploy depends on the level of protection required to eliminate the danger.

Lin Xiaosu acted too aggressively and violated Hydra's core interests too much. Whether it's Hydra or Utopia, the people who came to deal with him were no ordinary people.

Generally, only those with the "Hidden Dragon" gold medal can handle this important task; only those with the "Red Flag" medal can.

Therefore, the Dragon Head mobilized the Red Flag to protect his home in Fengcheng and the detective agency, not because he was special, but because his opponent was special.

Lin Xiaosu smiled gently: "Secondly, you granted me Level 3 access, which shows your trust in me, and I must express my gratitude." The Dragon Head smiled faintly: "You only see trust?"

Lin Xiaosu frowned slightly: "What else? Is it a recognition of past achievements?"

"Past achievements are certainly commendable! But the fundamental purpose of Level 3 authorization is not to affirm achievements, nor is it merely to demonstrate trust; it is focused on the future!"

"future?"

"There's a saying in the world: honesty begets honesty!" the Dragon Head said. "You possess Level 3 authority, and the gates of the Hidden Dragon are open to you. Therefore, in the future, you should also be completely honest with the Hidden Dragon!"

Understood!
Lin Xiaosu truly understood...

Understand what three levels of access control mean.

It's not really an affirmation of achievements, nor is it based solely on trust.

It is focused on the future.

As the world changes, even a hidden dragon begins to feel powerless.

Qianlong appears to be lagging behind in providing a lot of information.

For example, Kunlun Mountain, or the Earth's Core Bridge...

The information about these places in the Qianlong information system is not as comprehensive as that of Lin Xiaosu.

Therefore, the Dragon Head intends to exchange honesty for honesty.

He granted Lin Xiaosu level three access in exchange for Lin Xiaosu's future sincerity towards Qianlong.

If there is any information, we will share it.

If we achieve anything, we will unite in good faith.

The dragon-headed hand slowly extended: "Are you willing to reach such a consensus?"

Lin Xiaosu held out her hand: "I'm willing!"

Just a gentle squeeze!
The dragon head smiled.

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "Now that we've established the tone of sincere cooperation and frank communication, I have something I'd like to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"Hidden Dragon... what are its trump cards?"

Dragon Head said, "When foreign enemies invade, the unity of the 1.4 billion people of Great Xia is our trump card; when supernatural experts invade, the 100,000 elite troops of Qianlong are our trump card."

"Is that all?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Dragon Head asked, "What other types of trump cards would you like to know?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "If, and I mean if... if the Kun Cang Enlightenment Realm were to break free and its combat power were to be unrestricted, if the alien races from the Earth's core were to break free and their combat power, equivalent to that of the Enlightenment Realm, were to roam the world, I ask you, Qianlong, how would you respond?"

"I understand!" the dragon head said. "You asked about the extraordinary trump card."

"Yes!"

"There's another card, not exactly a hidden trump card, but currently only existing in legends," the Dragon Head said: "The Triple Heaven!"

Triple Heaven...

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat: "What kind of power is that?"

"That is a protective force that has existed since ancient times. As long as civilization continues, the Three Heavens will not appear. If a civilization faces the danger of extinction, the Three Heavens can appear in the world... I call it a legend, simply because these words came from someone I don't think is reliable at all!"

"Lu Yun?"

"Yes! Lu Yun!"

"Where is the Third Heaven?"

"I don't know! Qianlong has gathered a lot of information, but there's no mention of the Three Heavens."

Lin Xiaosu pondered for a long time.

After finishing one cup of tea, he had another.

Finally, he slowly raised his head: "There's something I'm not sure if you know."

"what's up?"

"Above the Thirty-Three Towers, there is an array."

"An array?" The dragon's expression changed slightly.

"The Dragon Head doesn't know?"

The dragon head gently shook its head: "No one in the entire Hidden Dragon Sect knows... what's inside the formation?"

"The formation created a wonderful realm: a vast grassland, a river, a snow-capped mountain, and on the snow-capped mountain, there is a Taoist temple. The name of the temple is... the Three Heavens!"

"Such a thing is true..." The dragon head suddenly stood up: "Take me to see it."

"it is good!"

They walked out of the office side by side, where a golden flying car was waiting.

They entered the flying vehicle and landed directly on top of the Thirty-Three Towers.

When Lin Xiaosu stepped out of the flying car, the car was still in stealth mode.

The Thirty-Three Towers has always been the place where the Hidden Dragons train their disciples. For a long time, the Hidden Dragons have been instilling a hard truth in their members: you can only climb as high as you are capable of, and there are no shortcuts.

Therefore, few people take shortcuts to climb the tower of the hidden dragon.

But today's matter is of utmost importance, so the Dragon Head made his personal vehicle invisible and flew directly across the outer space to the top of the tower.

The two arrived side by side at the location of the formation. There was no one else around, not even the Dragon Head's personal guards.

Lin Xiaosu said, "The dragon head needs to be mentally prepared, there's another butterfly inside."

"A butterfly...alive?"

"Live!"

"very dangerous?"

"I don't know if it's dangerous or not, but it's extremely powerful!"

"How powerful?"

"Even if I were tied to Thunderclap, I probably wouldn't be enough to withstand a single flap of its wing!"

"Enlightenment Realm?" The dragon head stopped breathing.

"That's the way it can be understood."

The dragon head exhaled softly, "The Hidden Dragon Headquarters actually has such a place. Xiao Su, activate the formation and let's go in and take a look."

"Okay!" Lin Xiaosu lightly traced a line with her finger, and the empty rooftop instantly transformed. (End of Chapter)
