Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Langinus Needs to Go to a Better Place_1

Lu Xiang increasingly felt that this was a magical world.

The person who possessed a power beyond the cognition of the United Government was the most harmless ditz, perhaps the Review Meeting was constantly looking for ways to overcome the "enthusiastic citizen." But those who knew Song Lan knew that defeating him didn’t require any complicated methods at all.

Just leave him alone, and he’s harmless.

Moreover, he could even manage to go to work on time and make a stable contribution to society.

After gaining a rough understanding of the consumption issues with Song Lan’s abilities, Lu Xiang shifted her attention to another important name.

Langinus.

For the United Government, this once was an incredibly important figure, but now, Lu Xiang had no concept of this name at all.

She consulted the information related to this name and even applied Dr. Bai Zhu’s techniques. All she got were some irrelevant game contents, or some mythological legends from before the war.

Based on the information she organized according to Song Lan’s description and her own judgment, the Langinus of the past was very likely the founder of the United Government, his duty was related to the military, and he had the power to skip the Review Meeting to make important judgments and to temporarily mobilize the Six Stars rescuers.

People who meet these criteria are few and far between and should be well-known names.

After an afternoon of investigation, Lu Xiang finally came to a conclusion.

On this new timeline, Langinus had never existed.

The achievements he made hadn’t disappeared, just divided in different ways among others. On this timeline, it was a Six Stars rescuer who had once defeated "justice," but after that battle, ultimately succumbed to severe injuries and passed away not long after.

Lu Xiang gained a deeper understanding of Song Lan’s explanation of "a consciousness about to dissipate cannot be brought into a new world."

It meant not only death, but also that all traces of his existence in the new world would disappear.

But Song Lan was an optimistic ditz.

In his words, Mr. Langinus had gone to a better place.

But he himself didn’t know what sort of place that was.

Lu Xiang thought Song Lan was talking nonsense, so she adopted a hands-off attitude toward him—this was the best method she had found to deal with Song Lan.

She wrote down all the results of her afternoon research on sticky notes and stored them away. Song Lan was always honest with her; he had revealed many details about his abilities, parts that would remain unknown as long as he didn’t disclose them. According to Song Lan’s description, she also came to an important conclusion.

This was not the first time Song Lan had used this ability.

It’s just that his excessively lazy lifestyle led him to not bother to check what had happened on another timeline that got erased after a time reversal.

What a lazy ditz!

The sky outside the window darkened, and before long, it was the arrival of the night life that the citizens of District Seventeen looked forward to every day.

During the day, they were confined to their positions, only at night could they release their true selves. Lu Xiang yawned and decided not to pursue Langinus’s deeds any further. She realized it was futile; all traces that Langinus had ever existed were completely gone. He had become many people, existing in core areas and within the Review Meeting in ways unknown to them.

Now, the person who came to District Seventeen to replace him was Qi He, who had entirely different ideals.

Lu Xiang carefully put away the sticky note. It was so that the next time Song Lan activated his ability, both she and Song Lan could understand more quickly what exactly had happened.

"By the way, Qi He wants to see us," Lu Xiang remembered their conversation as she neared the end of her workday. Qi He had even mentioned Song Lan’s name on the phone, "I’ve scheduled the time for tomorrow."

Today felt like a lifetime ago, but there were still many troublesome things waiting for them to handle.

The issues left by Dream Manufacture and the fugitive Angle Saffron both had been brought into this new world along with the Exceptional Case Investigation Bureau. Many issues were inconvenient to discuss over the phone, so Qi He hoped that they could resolve these problems through a face-to-face meeting tomorrow. After all, one of the tasks assigned to him by the Review Meeting was to make Lu Xiang stop her investigation.

Whether by threats or bribes, they didn’t care what means Qi He used.

"Alright,"

Song Lan’s voice came from the sofa in the office.

After returning from the medical room, he had been lying on the sofa, claiming that he had suffered a severe injury bumping the back of his hand against a measuring device and needed to recuperate.

Lu Xiang was secretly considering whether to set up a special "nest" for Song Lan on the sofa.

When she got home, she immediately called Hanna.

Issues had to be dealt with one by one, the first being the Exceptional Case Investigation Bureau, which was not a department known for giving up easily. Given their style of operation, it was very likely they would again extend a private invitation for Song Lan to undergo investigation.

Fortunately, they still had an influential "good friend" inside the bureau.

"The ones who mainly want to invite Song Lan for tea are members of the Conservative Faction,"

True to form, their good friend Hanna shared the inside story with them.

Since the Exceptional Case Investigation Bureau was initially established by the Conservative Faction, to this day, they prioritized the interests of their families first. The bureau indeed had plans to invite Song Lan for tea again.

Apart from their relationship with Dream Manufacture, this was also tied to their personal grudge against Lu Xiang.

After Isabella was tried and ordered to drop out of school, she was symbolically placed under house arrest at home. Although many felt that such punishment was still far too lenient, Isabella’s family felt deeply shamed. Fueled by the provocation of the Foster Family, they blamed Lu Xiang for all the grievances.

Now that they had found a way to vex Lu Xiang, both families would spare no effort to actively orchestrate their scheme.

"I’ll tell you secretly, Hog Foster is known for his pettiness in our circles, and they have quite an opinion about you,"

Hanna thought for a moment and then said on the other end of the phone, "But don’t say I told you this, Old Lu."

"Who did you learn this nickname from?"

As expected, the name "Old Lu" was more infuriating than Hog Foster.

"Old Song."

Without hesitation, Hanna sold out Song Lan, "I think this nickname is quite nice, very endearing."

Lu Xiang’s eyebrows shot up, and she glared fiercely at an oblivious Song Lan.

This became yet another strong proof that Song Lan was a Dumb Bird.

Her hint at the time was for Song Lan to call her "wife" not "Old Lu"!

She felt that Song Lan might also need to go to a better place.

"But luckily, it’s Qi He who’s coming to you guys this time."

Hanna on the other end of the line didn’t notice the change in Lu Xiang’s mood. She sat curled up, barefooted on the sofa in her rented apartment, painting her toenails with glittering nail polish while talking on the phone. Since letting herself go, she increasingly felt that she missed out on too much fun in the past.

She also clearly recognized that if her family knew about her recent actions, they would likely send her to a prosthetic hospital for a brain check without hesitation.

"If you can reach an agreement with Qi He quickly, then the Investigation Bureau will have no grounds for their actions."
