Chapter 1054: Chapter 924: All Assassins!_2

"It’s him, take him back."

Lu Xiang said.

The ancient robots’ pupils flickered with red light; their voices were cold and monotonous, just as they had been for the past several decades, "Prisoner received, executing escort mission."

They faithfully carried out the mission entrusted to them.

But as they reached the doorway, one of the robots suddenly stopped and said in that cold mechanical voice, "Director Lu Xiang, Mother sends her regards."

......

These past few days had been difficult for Song Lan. After the incident in Lute City fermented, its impact became immediately apparent. Nearly by that same afternoon, his phone, which lacked many contacts, was stuffed with various messages. Now, it seemed like the whole world was searching for his whereabouts.

As soon as he turned on the TV, the news was talking about him, and this situation had continued for three days.

In the end, the clever Mr. Song Lan had found a method that served once and for all.

Turn off the phone and TV, and the world suddenly became quiet.

The commerce association had provided them with a secret safe house, allowing them to temporarily escape from worldly disturbances.

"It’s hardly surprising, you did reverse time back by a week."

The only discordant element was a gloating voice still present in the safe house.

Two minutes after the TV was turned off, "Nothingness" turned on the TV again, citing "too boring" as the reason.

"I didn’t expect your ability to have grown to such an extent."

Song Lan didn’t need to explain himself; simply by watching the news on time, he could understand the impact his ability had on the world when it was triggered.

During these three days, countless people around the world were studying the event every moment.

It wasn’t just residents who died from the plague due to contagious diseases that were revived. People from different regions who had lost their lives for various reasons were given another chance.

The physical impact was particularly noticeable.

During these three days, numerous protestors emerged—shocked to find that a week’s worth of hard work had gone to waste when they searched their files, a tremendous blow for the dedicated workers.

Time reversal was not always perfect.

Many hoped to strike it rich in the "second week," but soon discovered that if everyone retained the memories of the following week, the ability to "predict the future" would cease to function. They were experiencing a life that seemed similar, yet radically different. The competition among the different forces became particularly fierce under the influence of the time reversal ability.

Members of the Brotherhood who were reborn abandoned their plans to search for the Divine Artifact in the desert. But before they could enjoy the joy of surviving the calamity, the Rebel Army’s Heavy Hammer had already preemptively struck down upon them.

On the first day of the anomaly, the Brotherhood became the organization that was wiped out twice in the shortest span of time.

As for "Nothingness."

He had to take a whole day to travel to the desert to rebuild the kingdom for the Death God Crabs.

"Nothingness" never stopped fanning the flames of chaos, "Destruction, interference, support; according to the template proposed by the Psychic Research Organization, your abilities now have no blind spots."

He indeed hadn’t expected Song Lan’s control over Spiritual Energy to still have room for growth, but all of this originated from Lu Xiang’s comment, "Take the fragment. Consider it a gift from me."

In her words, the "Sea of Souls," the Deep Web chip, and the power of the Devourer were enough for her to study for a long time, and the fragment was just as if Song Lan had completed the epic task line of "Saving Oasis" on her behalf.

This reward, coveted by countless people, caused Song Lan to frown as tightly as an elderly person on the subway.

"There’s a reason I didn’t study support-type Psychic Abilities in the past."

Song Lan said sternly, his face set in seriousness.

In addition to Lu Xiang’s abilities being too useful, there was another more important reason in the past.

The "Salty Fish Rules" state that there is no profession more laborious than a doctor in this world.

Whether in war or peace, Support Type Psychics are undoubtedly the most in-demand, and even in the upper echelons of the world, the God of Life was once a figure that everyone sought to establish good relations with. It was for this reason that no one was better suited to guide the ascenders.

"Once times of peace arrive, Destruction and Interference Psychics can retire in due course, but what about Support Psychics? Have you ever considered their feelings?"

Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical,

Psychic Research Organization,

And the United Government’s countless prosthetic hospitals, once they learned of the existence of the God of Life, would rack their brains and try every means possible to draw the God of Life in as their consultant!

If coercion didn’t work, they would resort to temptation, or else play the emotional card.

Although he was not afraid of coercion and temptation, the emotional card always had a way of hitting him where it hurt.

"Can you imagine, on your way home from work, a little girl with tears in her eyes clinging to your leg, begging you to save her mother?"

Just thinking about encountering situations like this on his way home from work in the future made Song Lan restless.

And after Lu Xiang had passed this trouble on to him as a gift, what he could do was no longer just limited to treating incurable diseases.

Resurrecting the dead was the true benchmark of the God of Life’s power.

At this very moment, the television news precisely switched to this topic.

——"Recently, a joint conference led by Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical has been held, calling for the Review Meeting to make an exception and appoint Mr. Song Lan as a consultant. They are convinced that with Mr. Song Lan’s support, biopharmaceutical technology will once again make a leap forward."

Of course, the Review Meeting also wanted to pass this bill.

Unlike the half-baked cloning technology, three days ago, they had witnessed the miracle of resurrection with their own eyes, and former members of the Review Meeting, long retired from the limelight, felt stirred in a way they hadn’t for ages.

For the first time, it made them genuinely feel that eternal life might be achievable.

They wouldn’t need to replace their bodies or have their brains placed in cold machinery, nor would they need cloning technology to create spare bodies. Instead, they could achieve the ultimate dream that countless people have longed for, in the truest sense of the word.

The only problem now was that since that day, Song Lan and Lu Xiang had disappeared, and the external department had turned Lute City upside down without being able to find a trace of them.

"Quick, turn it off, turn the TV off!"

Song Lan grabbed a sofa cushion, aimed for the back of "Nothingness"’s head, and issued his final ultimatum.

The TV was full of assassins!

"I think I’m starting to understand."

"Nothingness" looked pensive, and only now did he understand why Song Lan had created so many fake identities to confuse others. There seemed to be many things in this world more troublesome than revenge from an enemy.

In the era he was familiar with, such concerns weren’t as prevalent, as the upper world was far too remote from the people, with the vast majority unable to ever truly interact with the deities they believed in. In the past, no upper world being would have gone so far out of their way for the "crickets", let alone destroy an entire Oasis or benefit from the outbreak of a fourth war while remaining behind the scenes.

Soon, Lu Xiang returned.

"I’ve completed the handover work."

She stretched and suggested, "Let’s have beef stew with potatoes for dinner tonight!"

Everything seemed utterly natural, as if the three of them were simply tourists visiting the Oasis.

This was a return to the old way of interaction between her and Song Lan, which "Nothingness" found dissatisfactory; he had hoped that after Lu Xiang remembered something, she would reevaluate her relationship with Song Lan — at least then, he might eat more food and less dog food in his daily life.

"Is that all?"

Finally, "Nothingness" couldn’t help but speak up, "Don’t you have anything to say to him?"

"Say what?"

Lu Xiang tilted her head, looking perplexed.

"About your relationship, of course, you two are now lovers!"

"Oh, I’ve indeed thought about this issue."

Like the common saying goes, "I see you as a comrade-in-arms, but you want to conquer me!"

But soon, she realized a problem.

Looking at the emotional trajectory, it seemed more like the Dumb Bird considered her a leader, but she ended up conquering him instead.

Hmm, that’s good.

There’s nothing that needs correction or discussion.

Instead of worrying about such things, it’s better to consider some more practical issues, "Keep an eye on Old Void later. With the look of someone traumatized and bent on seeking revenge against society, I suspect he plans to sneak Sachila into the pot when you’re not looking!"
