Chapter 316: Chapter 257: Analog Horror: The Quintuple Return_2

Therefore, Xu Yingguang was, in his heart, a little grateful for Analog Horror, but only just a little, because he was very clear that it ultimately posed a dangerous existence, one that would threaten his own safety and that of those he cared about, a dangerous existence that must be eradicated.

It was just that, thinking of this, Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but recall another matter: Xiao Yi’s success had also led to the revival of those ancient interest groups, along with their immense wealth.

However, faced with Xu Yingguang, who already wielded great power, and since they did not wish to handle hot potatoes during the era of Analog Horror, they had no choice but to step back.

Not only that, but thanks to Xiao Yi, out of fear of Analog Horror, they also didn’t dare to transfer their wealth at will. After all, their country was now the safest place in the world; they could only depend on this country. Thus, using this leverage, Xu Yingguang had gained quite a bit of benefit from those ancient interest groups.

At the same time, he had also received no small amount of support from these ancient interest groups.

For Xu Yingguang, power meant the support of people. And he had to admit that in this country, how much power one had largely depended on how much these ancient interest groups were willing to concede.

Taking all these factors into account, within the country, Xu Yingguang was undeniably the highest authority, with no one above him... although this also meant he bore greater responsibilities, some fatigue was only natural.

Moreover, all this was thanks to Xiao Yi; without him, Xu Yingguang might have found it difficult to reach the position he was in today, so he also had to pay Xiao Yi the utmost attention.

It was not just outsiders he had to guard against, but his own people too: those from the ancient interest groups were surely aware of Xiao Yi’s value and could harbor ill intentions. They would inevitably be unwilling to remain subordinate, hence the need to be vigilant.

At this thought, Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but wryly smile... A formidable enemy was at the gates, yet internal strife continued; his side was not so different from the Lighthouse, except that it was handled more appropriately.

At the same time, Xu Yingguang was reminded that he had been paying such close attention to Xiao Yi that people often questioned whether he saw Xiao Yi as a member of his own family.

As for that, Xu Yingguang didn’t much care. It was necessary for him to be considerate of Xiao Yi; let others think what they would. As for his own true feelings... well, he already had a daughter, and he wouldn’t mind having another one.

Nevertheless, Xu Yingguang was clear that it didn’t matter what he thought; the main thing was Xiao Yi’s own feelings... However, seeing how he behaved, if others were kind to him, he would follow them all the same. Xu Yingguang admitted he was vigilant; otherwise, it was not impossible for Xiao Yi to be lured away by those ancient interest groups, or even foreigners.

"Cough cough..." Xu Yingguang also realized his thoughts were scattering too much and quickly refocused his mind.

All in all, Xu Yingguang was very aware that everything he currently had originated from Analog Horror; it could be said that without Analog Horror, there would be no Xu Yingguang of today.

Moreover, the country’s past losses had been fully made up for; on the contrary, there was a huge gain. This was probably true for other countries as well; if Analog Horror wished it, the disappeared countries, lands, and peoples could all just as well come back.

So, what exactly does Analog Horror want to do... It couldn’t be as simple as just taking over, could it? Is it for amusement? Or is there a deeper purpose?

Xu Yingguang wasn’t sure, as the true nature of Analog Horror was still unclear, let alone its purpose. Thus, facing the existence of Analog Horror that must be eradicated, Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Then, he replied to the person who had sent him the message:

[I don’t know.]

It wasn’t long before the other party replied.

[That’s for the best.]

Then, there was no further movement.

"..." Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but ponder what the sudden message sender had been thinking and what their purpose had been.

What did their "That’s for the best" mean?

...

Around the same time, in another part of Blue Star, within Lighthouse Country, a girl looked at the message on her phone and smiled slightly.

While it was nearing midnight in Dragon Country, here in Lighthouse Country the sun was blazing.

Furthermore, a significant event was occurring in Lighthouse Country: the country was about to formally split into two, with the north and south as the boundary.

Here was the venue, where most of the new and old Lighthouse decision-makers had gathered.

As the event was finally confirmed, a fierce round of applause erupted from the crowd. Whether the people present truly wished to see this scene or were genuinely happy, the fervent applause was mandatory.

Soon, a group of individuals, dressed in suits, approached the girl.

"Miss Fei Ye, it’s almost time, please, as our national advisor for Lighthouse Country, come up to the stage and give your speech."

What these people referred to as "Lighthouse" was actually the Old Lighthouse, they just wouldn’t call it that.

Moreover, this group of well-dressed individuals was comprised solely of those who held important positions within the Old Lighthouse, truly the elite among elites.

Yet, when facing this girl, they couldn’t help but feel nervous and frightened.

It was not just because of her terrifying ability to serve as a national advisor, but also because her personality was particularly unpleasant; she enjoyed belittling and tormenting others for her amusement, and nobody could do anything about it—who wouldn’t be afraid?

However, contrary to their expectations, this girl named Fei Ye simply smiled at them gently.

"Mmm... I understand, just give me a moment to prepare, and I’ll be up."

"...What?" They looked at each other with shocked expressions.

They couldn’t help but wonder why the girl, who looked down on everyone and certainly had the capital to be arrogant, was now so polite?

Could she have been possessed by someone? Or did she have a split personality?

But just as everyone was unsettled, after Fei Ye went up to the stage, she astonished not only the uneasy people from the Old Lighthouse but everyone else as well.

"So, as the national advisor for the New Lighthouse, I’ll just say a few words..."

"What...!" The people of the Old Lighthouse were startled and rushed to the stage to interrupt, "There’s been a slight problem, please wait a moment, everyone."

Then, they hastily whispered to Fei Ye, "Miss Fei Ye, you misspoke! The whole world is watching, please be careful with your words..."

"Mmm?" Fei Ye tilted her head slightly, still holding the microphone, "I didn’t misspeak, actually... I’ve been with the New Lighthouse for some time now."

And below the stage, those from the New Lighthouse smiled subtly, as if confirming her statement.

"What..."

It was at that moment the Old Lighthouse people realized they had been played by this young lady!

"And not just that..." Fei Ye loudly announced, "I will also represent the New Lighthouse to challenge the Analog Horror and emerge victorious, thereby letting the entire world witness the strength of our newborn country, the New Lighthouse."

"Analog Horror?" Many watching this scene were puzzled, "How can she be so sure? Is she certain to be chosen?"

And Fei Ye answered with a smile, "I understand the questions in your minds, and what I can tell you is, I ordered the Analog Horror to choose me. Any more questions?"

"What...!?"

These words, without a doubt, shocked all those who were following the situation.

Ordering... it was as if she existed above the Analog Horror, how could she dare utter such an arrogant declaration!

At the same time, the Old Lighthouse realized that Fei Ye was promoting the New Lighthouse! Moreover, she was originally supposed to represent the Old Lighthouse on stage, and letting her continue speaking would only bring shame to them!

"Catch her!"

So, the Old Lighthouse reacted immediately, but...

"By the way, not only can I command the Analog Horror, but I also know when the next instance is set to open, and that time is in two seconds, watch closely, you won’t even have time to doubt..."

No sooner had she finished speaking that Fei Ye vanished, just as she was about to be arrested, and then...

[The Analog Horror will descend shortly, selecting the Chosen One...]
