Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 559 The New Order Under the Dawn

The next morning.

The morning light streamed through the portholes, casting long patches of light across the alloy corridor.

After a night of silence, the lighthouse's internal broadcasting system echoed in every corner.

"Attention all citizens, this is a notice regarding personnel changes within the Light and Shadow Society. As decided by the Lighthouse Provisional Command, Charles is hereby removed from his position as head of the Light and Shadow Society, and all his duties will be assumed by Mo Yu. Effective immediately."

The announcement was brief and powerful, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

In the public rest area, people who had just received their food stopped and looked up at the huge screen hanging on the wall.

On the screen, Linglong Moyu's rather ordinary face, wearing non-prescription glasses, replaced Charles's usual spirited promotional photos.

There was a deathly silence in the crowd, which was then broken by suppressed whispers.

"Chairman Charles... has been dismissed?" A young woman covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"How could this happen so suddenly? Didn't they say yesterday it was just a normal power outage?"

“I heard that... yesterday all the priests were mobilized and the core area was sealed off.”

Shh... Keep your voice down! Are you out of your mind?!

The discussions spread like a tidal wave.

But soon, people discovered a key detail in the announcement.

"...The positions of the remaining personnel, including the Light-bearer Fanlu, Fandi, and the Vinaya Master Shalifu, remain unchanged."

This supplementary explanation acted like a powerful tranquilizer, instantly calming the restless hearts of the people.

The overall structure of the Light and Shadow Society remained unchanged; only the head of the society was reassigned. For these insignificant figures, this meant nothing more than a few more topics of conversation.

Inside the office area of ​​the priests.

Several newly relieved priests were huddled together, talking in hushed tones.

Their gazes occasionally drifted toward the office of the Lightbringer at the end of the corridor.

"Lord Sharif has also been retained. It seems that... this time, Lord Adam has chosen to avoid punishing the majority and has given a lenient sentence."

"That's for the best, otherwise we'll all be punished. Chairman Charles... sigh, he's too impulsive."

"However, don't you guys think that Lord Fanlu is acting a little strange today?"

A young priest lowered his voice, “I reported to her this morning, and she kept her head down the whole time. Her voice was also… a little hoarse, as if she had been crying.”

"What nonsense! Why would Lord He Guang Zhe cry! He must have just not rested well last night and was too tired."

No one could reconcile the woman who humbly endured darkness last night with the Lightbringer sitting upright in her office, still dressed in her holy robes.

Only Fanlu herself knew that when she woke up in the cold bed in the morning, a burning pain still lingered deep in her throat, and the red marks on her knees had not faded.

Nightmarish memories clung to her like maggots, deeply imprinted on her soul.

With each breath, she seemed to smell that nauseating yet unforgettable scent.

Overall, the result was good, even exceeding her expectations.

Not only was Charles's life saved, but her and Vatican Lightbearer status were also preserved.

Even the priest involved yesterday only received a mild warning as punishment.

The office of the head of the Light and Shadow Society.

The place has been completely renovated, and all of Charles's personal belongings have been cleaned up.

Linglong Moyu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the orderly and complex internal structure of the lighthouse, which resembled an anthill.

His fingertips gently traced the cold glass.

Last night, the contrast between that soft, trembling body on his lap and the saintly fall of the saint brought him unimaginable pleasure.

But this pleasure is just dessert.

The ultimate goal is to end the unrest quickly and minimize its impact.

and.

"Lord of Light and Shadow..."

Linglong Moyu murmured softly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes behind his glasses, "A Transformation-level Devouring Beast that is suspected to be hidden inside Charles's body..."

Who knows what kind of hilarious things will happen if Charles really dies?

He dared not imagine the scene of detonating a chemical-level being inside this cramped and enclosed lighthouse.

Although he has a backup plan and is not without countermeasures, there is absolutely no need to take this risk!
Find a place to confine Charles, provide him with good food and drink, and conduct regular "check-ups" on his health. This will not only stabilize public sentiment but also keep this ticking time bomb under control and give Morgan's faction a grip on power.

Everyone looks good on the surface, and he doesn't need this one person's food.

As for Vinaya…

A playful smile curved the corners of Linglong Moyu's lips.

This is a very interesting "collection" that is worth studying in depth.

He had plenty of time to slowly and gradually transform her, inside and out, into the shape he desired.

Not only her, but also Fandi, Jingnan...

After gathering his thoughts, Mo Yu suppressed his desires once again and regained his composure.

He glanced at the time, left the office, and headed towards the navigation control room.

He still needed to find out about Mark's situation on the ground.

Ideally, we could use him to make contact with the people of Dragonbone Village.

……

Navigation control room.

The lighthouse is where the ship's rudder is located.

The air was filled with the burnt smell of machine cooling and the rich aroma of coffee.

Dozens of researchers, with dark circles under their eyes, worked rapidly in front of rows of control consoles that shimmered with a faint blue light, the sound of their keyboards clicking like a dense rain.

After obtaining Mo Yu's authorization to divert the computing power of the Light and Shadow Society's mainframe, Jing Nan, barely holding on to her last bit of strength, led her team to restore the ground communication system overnight.

At this moment, she was leaning wearily against the main control panel, pressing hard on the Jingming acupoint at the corner of her eye, trying to relieve her splitting headache.

Linglong Moyu walked slowly to her side and handed her a cup of coffee.

"Thank you."

When Jingnan opened her eyes and saw it was him, she first thanked him, then whispered, "Thank you for Charles's matter."

Linglong Moyu glanced at her: "If you really want to thank me, then show some real sincerity. I won't accept verbal thanks."

Jing Nan was amused by his sudden attitude. A smile finally appeared on her face, which had been tense all night: "I've noticed that you've become quite mischievous lately. What, does becoming an Awakened One cure your icy demeanor?"

“In a way, yes.” Linglong Moyu didn’t care about her teasing and nodded: “One of the ways to become an Awakener is based on extreme emotional fluctuations.”

"As I continue to develop my life essence, my emotions will become more active than before, and my personality will undergo some changes, which is normal."

He adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting the light from the screen.

"Or do you think my personality was better before?"

"No, no, no, your changes are good now." Jing Nan quickly shook his head, still feeling lingering fear.

If it were up to Mo Yu's previous iron-fisted approach to law enforcement, not only would Charles definitely have sent it this time, but none of the clergy who participated in the rebellion with him would have escaped either.

The entire Light and Shadow Festival will have to be mostly cleared out.

Just then, a researcher suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted excitedly:
"It's connected! Finally connected!"

……

T-69 Medical Collection Point.

This is an old-fashioned hospital that was buried underground by an earthquake.

Thick layers of rock and ruins isolated it from the surface world for decades.

At this moment, the skylight in the hospital ceiling had been forcibly opened by the hunters using explosives and cutting equipment, and the murky sunlight shone down from above, illuminating this forgotten ruin.

Mark paced anxiously along the side of the convoy.

He glanced at Mo Cheng, who was adjusting equipment not far away, and frowned as he asked, "Still haven't we been able to get in touch?"

Without the data support from the logistics command center, their ground missions, while not completely impossible, would be very difficult to carry out.

“Since last night, we have indeed detected fluctuations in the communication signal, but the frequency is very unstable and completely different from the lighthouse's previous communication frequency. I am trying to crack and connect!”

Mo Cheng didn't even look up, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he typed rapidly, his expression focused.

"You better hurry up!"

Mark sighed and said in a deep voice, "We made quite a commotion last night, and there are many gathering signals of Devouring Beast source energy fluctuations nearby. Every second we stay here increases our risk."

"Don't rush me! I'm already very fast!"

Mo Cheng scratched his head in frustration. "Whether the connection works or not is not something I can control! I can only do my best!"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened: "Huh, it's working?!"

On the screen, after a brief flash of static, Jingnan and Moyu appeared side by side, with the familiar navigation control room in the background.

"lighthouse!"

Mark rushed over and asked the screen in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Why were all the communication signals cut off yesterday?"

Jing Nan glanced at Mo Yu beside him, signaling him to speak.

Now, he is the ultimate decision-maker of the lighthouse.

"The specifics are complicated. I'll tell you about them slowly after you complete this mission and return to the lighthouse."

Linglong Moyu spoke indifferently as always: "The information I need to tell you now is that there is a crystal core inside the chest cavity of the Devouring Beast. As long as it is completely destroyed, the Devouring Beast can be completely killed and its regeneration prevented."

"what?!"

Mark and Mo Cheng both gasped in surprise, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

This problem, which had plagued the lighthouse for decades and cost them countless lives, was solved just like that?
……

Meanwhile, in a secluded ravine not far from the T-69 collection point.

The communication signals emitted by the lighthouse were quietly intercepted and copied.

Beside an SUV, in front of Gu Yan, a holographic screen appeared out of thin air, clearly projecting the image of Mark and Mo Yu talking on the phone.

"Heh, those idiots on the pot lid, have they finally realized the existence of the Spirit Seed?" Xu Tong crossed his arms, leaned against the car door, and let out a disdainful sneer.

"Who is this seemingly intelligent middle-aged man?"

Xia Dou leaned closer, pointing curiously at Mo Yu's figure on the screen, "I know Sister Jing Nan, but I don't think I've ever seen this person standing next to her before. Is this person one of the higher-ups at Lighthouse?"

"Mo Yu, a member of the Lighthouse Society, is known as 'Adam'."

A taciturn finger lightly traced a line in the air, and information about Mo Yu quickly appeared on the side of the screen: "Access level... Leader?"

"strangeness,"

His taciturn brows furrowed slightly. "His database is brand new; the information inside was only entered in the last two days."

"The Lighthouse changed its main server? That makes sense. If the security level hadn't plummeted, I wouldn't have been able to easily hack into their backup database."

The most outrageous thing is that Lighthouse still hasn't realized that its data has been intercepted.

Bai Yuekui didn't speak. She just quietly looked at the information on the screen, especially the lighthouse's sudden shutdown yesterday and the briefing recorded as the "Battle to Protect the Lighthouse." Her brows slowly furrowed.

"The consciousness of the Mana Giant has actually shown signs of change..."

She murmured softly, her voice tinged with seriousness, "Moreover, a single battle directly gave rise to twenty... Awakened Ones?"

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are so many Awakened Ones in Dragonbone Village; you could even say that everyone there is an Awakened One.

But those were the results she had painstakingly cultivated from childhood and barely achieved with the help of special equipment over several decades.

Very few of them are able to awaken on their own through their own will.

The Lighthouse, which she saw as a technologically backward and ideologically rigid aerial prison, suddenly had twenty self-awakened individuals emerge overnight.
While the probability isn't entirely zero, it's certainly virtually impossible.

Bai Yuekui is more inclined to believe that this man named Mo Yu used some method she was unaware of to assist in the awakening.

Moreover, what she was even more concerned about was:

“Spiritual Seed…Awakened One…”

Bai Yuekui's pupils twitched slightly.

Well, she's the one who came up with those two terms.

While it cannot be said that they never appeared in ancient documents, the explicit use of them to refer to the life essence crystal cores of Devouring Beasts and humans who have awakened the turbulent state of life essence definitely started with her.

She was certain that there had been absolutely no communication between the Lighthouse and Dragonbone Village over the years.

So here's the question: why did the Lighthouse happen to choose the exact same name as Dragonbone Village? And where did they get their information about Dragonbone Village?
It can't be that the other person just happened to be in sync with her, and in the vast sea of ​​words, they precisely chose the exact same words as her twice in a row, right?
"Mo Yu..."

Bai Yuekui's gaze once again focused on the face of the man on the screen.

He wasn't particularly good-looking, wore non-prescription glasses, and had an indifferent expression, looking like an ordinary researcher.

Whether it was her imagination or not, it was as she was gazing at the other person that she felt a strange sensation.

Bai Yuekui suddenly felt that the man's eyes on the screen seemed to have moved slightly.
Look at her!

Bai Yuekui narrowed his eyes, looked at the device in Guayan's hand, and confirmed it again.

She didn't turn on any camera equipment at all...
