Not a god

Chapter 49: Pastoral Affairs Department (18.1.21) (two in one)

Guan Qingning is from Beijing and Tianjin.

She grew up in a military compound and has been interested in supernatural phenomena since she was a child. After graduating from university, she did not follow her family's arrangement to join the army, but instead joined the 947th Bureau. Now, 5 years have passed.

947 was a rather mysterious department in the past with many folk rumors, specializing in various supernatural research.

However, two weeks ago, this agency was merged into a newly established department - the Pastoral Department.
The establishment of the new department transferred away many old personnel and brought in a large number of new personnel. Guan Qingning was the leader of Group A of the Jiangcheng Mushou Division, who used to be affiliated with the Jiangcheng 947th Bureau and was now granted the title of Mushou.

Her practical ability was not strong, but when ByeBye came to Jiangcheng that day, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "I haven't seen Xiao Ning for a long time," and she naturally became the captain of the first brigade.

But she really didn't use any connections, really.

At this time, in her office, besides her, there were two other commissioners from the Pastoral Affairs Bureau, Chen Wu and Deng Taiping.

Unlike Guan Qingning, both of them were originally from the armed police force, and each of them is the elite among the elites.

"God?" Chen Wu looked at the interrogation report in his hand and sneered:
"He fled all the way from Liangshan back to Jiangcheng, avoiding our pursuit for three days and two nights. He also killed two young female college students along the way, but in the end he said he had met a god."

"I met a folk expert and got beaten up, but are there already such strong people in the game now?"

Deng Taiping said seriously, "Tie Shiren is very powerful. He fought with the people from Team 2 while fleeing. Three or four of them surrounded him, but he wounded two of them. He then jumped off the viaduct and fled."

"Liang Feng from Team 2 commented that he was like a beast in human skin. The moment we met each other's eyes, my blood froze... Who could have beaten him like this?"

"Could it be that Su Jiuer?"

"Su Jiuer may have this ability, but Su Jiuer is destined to wield a sword, and he has no sword wounds on his body."

"Su Jiuer is really strong, but it's a pity that she doesn't want to come to us."

"She seems to have set up a union of her own and recruited many experts among the university students."

"I heard that Ning Zhao from Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School can lift objects weighing several tons. He is totally on a different level from other mountain movers."

"It's a pity that he is still in high school. Why are the masters among the people either college students or high school students?"

"Why did the roadside surveillance video just happen to be broken..."

"Are you free now?" Guan Qingning scolded them: "Put this on file first. Team Three is short-handed. You should hurry to Limin Road now."

"It's time to work again."

"I haven't stopped in the past few days..."

"Go quickly."

After sending the two specialists away, the woman behind the desk frowned.

Unlike those who joined 947 halfway... no, now it has been renamed the Mushou Division, she knew several years ago that this world is not as peaceful as it seems. She also knew about the existence of Dreamland and Destiny.

Their presence is often present in those stories that were short-lived in the past, or caused a period of panic, or were forgotten after being spread as rumors, or are hidden in the corners of cities and the Internet, or are passed down by word of mouth by the older generation, which are full of mystery, weirdness, and creepiness.

Now, as the dreamland is getting closer and closer to the real world, even ordinary people can easily set foot in that world and obtain powers far beyond ordinary people. How far ahead will those destined people who have been observing this world in the dark be than all of them?
Guan Qingning watched the surveillance video. In the video, Tie Shiren was holding a gun but not moving, and there was a man standing in front of him in the backlight and hiding in the shadows.

*
January 1st is also the 21nd day of the lunar calendar, and the Chinese New Year is just a few days away.

The coffee shop business has been very good recently. After all, the year-end is approaching, and the office workers who have worked for a year are more willing to spend money these days.

At around ten o'clock, Su Qingyue came wobbling over on a shared bicycle. When she entered the store, her eyes met with Chen Xi who looked up.

They looked at each other in silence. The moment their eyes met, countless scenes seemed to appear behind them. It was a period of time with battles in countless dimensions and full of gunfire.

Su Qingyue stood there in a daze, her eyes sparkling with a feeling of seeing something that lasted for a thousand years. Suddenly, she gave Chen Xi a thumbs up and made an expression like a little girl from Fujiya, as if to say, "You know what I mean."

There's no way he could understand it. This guy is simply the ancient Greek god in charge of inexplicable things.

But her unusual behavior proved that she was not unaware of what happened last night.

He had something to ask her today: "Qingyuebao... ahem, Su Qingyue, what is this thing?"

"Eh? What did you want to shout at me just now? Oh, I'm so shy. I hope Wanwan won't shut me up if she hears it!" She twisted around embarrassedly.

Su Qingyue’s personality is different from the one in the dream. In reality, she is rather mean, even a bit of a sissy.

Chen Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him and showed her the thing he got from her last night.

"Huh? Isn't this my faith cultivation seed?"

Su Qingyue was also surprised: "Is this also what the boss said, that you can gain strange abilities by eavesdropping on other people's gossip?"

Chen Xi knew that the seed of faith and cultivation was a kind of ability bestowed by God on believers.

He now has Chen Yan's seed of faith and cultivation in him.

But this seems to be something very important.

"I don't know how you got it. Do you want to take it back?"

"Once you give out this kind of faith cultivation seed, you can never take it back, just like a person who becomes a vampire after receiving the First Embrace can never turn back into a human. Oh, I never had faith cultivation in my previous life..."

Su Qingyue looked at him with smiling eyes: "Well, for Wanwan's sake, I'll give it to you!"

Chen Xi nodded in understanding. He always liked to be straightforward and asked, "How do you use your ability?"

Su Qingyue was surprised by this unreserved tone.

"I seem to understand what Chen Yan said a little bit. Boss, you are really very rude."

He will still be polite when he should be polite. If Chen Xi had low emotional intelligence, he would not have so many friends. In fact, Chen Xi has a good relationship with people. He just always knows when to be polite and when not to be polite.

Just like now, he was not polite to Su Qingyue, but she was obviously in a good mood.

Damn arrogant.

Su Qingyue's destiny is unknown, and her ability is to peek into the future and choose the future.

The future is not static. Even the future one second later is infinite. Su Qingyue is able to see all the futures that are close to infinity.

This ability may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but the key point is the selection of the future that follows.

Choosing the future means that you can make the 'present' move towards the 'future' you have chosen. For example, when you throw a dice, there will be 6 futures, but as long as Su Qingyue is willing, she can always throw only 6.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

But as mentioned before, the future has infinite numbers. Infinity does not mean one trillion or one trillion. No matter how huge the number is that people can imagine, once it is spoken out of their mouths, it will always be far away from infinity.

Is there a possibility that when the dice was thrown this time, the dice hit the table and just formed a resonance, which exploded with the terrifying energy of atomic annihilation?

Is there a possibility that the spiritual energy in your body suddenly gets out of control, and then your body explodes and you die?

Is it possible that a 50-kilometer asteroid actually fell towards the earth, happened to pass through a space wormhole, accidentally traveled through time and space, and then hit you on the head?

Don't say that this possibility sounds far-fetched. No matter how far-fetched the thing is, it is possible.

Su Qingyue is the one who can select the impossible future and present it, thus achieving the effect of making her words come true.

As long as something is not absolutely impossible, it is absolutely possible for her.

Su Qingyue explained and demonstrated to him how to use this ability, but Chen Xi was confused. In the end, he started by learning the shortcut keys and familiarizing himself with the operation, just as Chen Yan had taught him.

He gained two abilities. The first one was the art of physiognomy. Although it was called physiognomy, this art was not only able to look at people, but also objects.

For example, when Chen Xi used a pen at the front desk, Su Qingyue's voice suddenly appeared in his mind. "A ballpoint pen made in Suzhou, it seems that it can still be used for a while, provided that the white bean does not fall on the ground frequently."

Chen Xi was startled and looked at Su Qingyue, who also stared back at him.

Chen Xi asked: "What was that sound just now?"

"what sound?"

"I just used the face reading technique and a voice appeared in my head."

"Oh, it's just to make it easier for you to understand. I optimized it for you."

"Then why is your voice?"

"Hey!" She reached out and knocked on her head.

"..." Chen Xi used physiognomy to look at Su Qingyue again, and this time he saw something even stranger.

Complex, disorderly, chaotic, blind, bullying, Paidaxi...

"Don't look at me with that."

Su Qingyue suddenly interrupted and Chen Xi came back from the chaotic world.

"I don't even understand what 'I' am. If you use your rudimentary abilities, you'll be stuck and unable to get out."

Chen Yan came to work. She waved to Chen Xi and went to play with Wanwan.

"Come on, practice hard, my best friend."

She had a teasing expression and spoke each word carefully, trying to see Chen Xi's reaction.

Chen Xi didn't respond. He didn't want to recall the three years of experience that allowed him to write an infinite novel of tens of millions of words.

The second ability is the art of changing fortune, which is to modify the fortune of oneself or others to make the future fit one's own wishes, or to bring good luck or bad luck to others.

But as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Chen Xi's current cultivation is shallow, and he cannot change the future as recklessly as Su Qingyue. When he prays for good fortune, misfortune will be born in the same proportion.

These two spells represent weakened versions of Seeing the Future and Choosing the Future respectively.

Leaving aside the art of physiognomy, it is equivalent to having an additional ability to identify people, and being able to calculate good or bad luck when looking at people. This art of changing fortune is a bit against the will of heaven.

The explosion rate of the god is really high. Including the throat-stuck technique, he exploded three skills in one night.

Although there is one that he should never use.

He tried to activate the fortune-changing technique, but it didn't work, and only attracted Bai Douzi who was slacking off.

We have just opened for business and there are not many people in the morning in this winter.

"What's up boss?"

After buying the thick clothes, Bai Douzi looked bloated like a fat man, and there was no sign of her cold-resistant physique at all.

"I'll give you a chance to make money from me, do you want it?"

"What chance?" Bai Douzi seemed to have puppy ears standing up behind his head and his tail standing up behind him.

"I have a dice here. If the dice shows a 6, I will deduct 100 yuan from your salary this month."

"No, no, no!" When he heard about the deduction of money, Bai Douzi shook his head like a rattle.

These clothes are very warm, so she won't be cold this winter, but she already owes her boss more than 500 yuan.

"Hear me out."

Chen Xi coaxed him: "If you roll 1 to 5, I'll give you 100 yuan. Do you want to play with me?"

Bai Douzi pricked up his puppy ears again and nodded rapidly this time.

"Let's play, let's play!"

Even if she didn't finish junior high school, she knew that the probability of rolling a 6 on the dice was only 1/6, so it was just free money!

She asked why she heard a magpie calling this morning, and it turned out that her Bai Douzi had good fortune!
No, she knew it, how could the boss be so stupid? Yes, he must have wanted to pay off the 500 yuan she owed him, but he was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, so he deliberately gave her money.

The boss is overthinking it, she sneered and shook her head in her heart. Well, today let her Bai Douzi teach the boss a lesson on what the shameless law of survival is.

Well, let’s make a fortune first!
When Chen Xi threw it for the first time, Bai Douzi stared at it intently. It was about to stop at 5, but it turned over and became 6.

"The boss is really lucky today. He was deducted 100 yuan." She scratched her head and smiled innocently.

The second time, the number was 6 as well.

"I got deducted 100 again. I'm a bit unlucky today. Boss, please try again."

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time.

"It was deducted, 600 yuan was deducted, boss..." She hesitated to speak.

But before she could finish her words, the dice were thrown again -

In just a few minutes, Bai Douzi was deducted 5 yuan. She had a sad face and tried to stop it several times, but she was weak in character and was unable to utter a word when Chen Xi looked at her. With the last throw of the dice, the dice turned over .

Bai Douzi stared angrily, and today he was finally going to open the store——

The probability of 20 consecutive sixes is 1/6 to the 20th power. Chen Xi feels that it will be very difficult to get another six, and he is also aware of this ability.

But looking at Bai Douzi's eyes widened, and the dice that were about to settle on other numbers.

So what if his luck has run out? He has plenty of strength and means.

Chen Xi used telekinesis to move the dice.

It turned to 6 again.

"Okay, you owe me two thousand today, do you still want to play?"

"Two, two thousand, boss..." She really wanted to say that you must have cheated, but her little head couldn't figure out where you cheated.

"There are customers. Go and serve them, or I will continue to deduct your wages."

Bai Douzi looked at the gentle and handsome face with a pale face, and a word flashed through his mind: devil, this person is definitely a devil!

"Here, I'll go right away!" She ran away crying.

Chen Xi just teased her. This little brat had lofty ambitions but a fragile life, so it was fun to tease her.

He left the front desk, but suddenly tripped, but he quickly regained his balance.

“Is this what they call a disaster?”

Although it is a disaster, if you are strong enough, you can also use the flying bricks to withstand it.

Chen Xi also had a general understanding of these two abilities. He thought that by exploring in his dreams, he might be able to achieve great things by using the technique of changing his fortune.

Today is the twenty-second day of the lunar year, which is when the big star and her assistant come back, and Chen Xi is going to the airport to pick them up.
