Chapter 473 Preparing for War
……
Blue Star.
During this period of time, most of the chaos on the surface of Blue Star was also pacified. In fact, most of the subsequent chaos did not come from the wandering gods of the mixed dream world who took advantage of the situation at that time.
Many of them are hiding on Blue Star, or some irregularly preserved wandering gods. They waited until spring with the miracle liberation on Blue Star and started the carnival.
At the same time, as the miracles were liberated, many crimes committed by believers also occurred frequently during the chaos of the parade.
In some places where public security is already poor, order is completely lost in an instant.
Subsequently, the troops from various districts were dispatched to suppress the rebellion, and relative stability was restored. However, it is still difficult to resolve the problem completely.
But it's a good thing to be able to stabilize.
"The overall situation has been stabilized. Other Blue Stars will not allow a person like me from the Dream Realm to go too deep. I should quit while I am ahead. The temporary committee that was recently formed is also slowly undermining my power. This is as expected. I can retreat now."
After putting away all the paper reports in front of him and looking at the text on the computer next to him, Xuman said calmly.
Taking off his reading glasses from his nose, Xiuman gave himself a simple eye massage.
"Xiuman, are you done packing?" Lin Jinghong said as he walked into the room.
For more than a month, Xiuman gave the Blue Star officials a lot of guidance on how to deal with crimes committed by wandering gods and believers. Naturally, Blue Star initially gave him a lot of authority in a hurry, including the establishment of an emergency committee headed by him to make decisions behind the scenes.
Now that the emergency is over, it is not appropriate for him to get involved in the remaining matters.
Lin Jinghong took the opportunity to work as Xiuman's assistant and got a good resume, but now it's time for both of them to leave their jobs.
Their proactive concession also made the Blue Star officials feel relieved.
"There's nothing to pack. They won't be coming back, so just leave it to them." Xiuman threw the neatly arranged documents in his hand casually, stood up, and left the room with Lin Jinghong, quite free and easy.
I just said I would help tidy up a bit, but after tidying it up, I messed it up again. Why? Is this fun?
Lin Jinghong didn’t understand, but after spending some time with this wonderful first self-miracle maker, there were so many things he didn’t understand that he didn’t care too much.
"Jinghong, let's eat crabs tonight."
“Why crabs?”
"What? You think crabs are not tasty?"
“It’s delicious, but… well, I’m just a little sensitive to the word crab.”
"Hahaha, it's okay. You'll become desensitized if you eat too much."
"I don't think so."
The two left the house and walked out onto the street. They subconsciously looked up at the sky. This had become their habit during this period of time.
However, the reflection of the chaotic dream world and the crystal columns of star orbits remained the same without any change.
Lin Jinghong silently looked at the reflection of the dream world. These days, even though he had been hanging out with Xiuman in occasions that were beyond the scope of a rich second-generation like him, he had received a lot of praise. This resume plus his background would give him ample room for maneuver in the future.
But he was not at all happy.
At least before he heard about the situation of his three friends, even the happiest things seemed boring, not to mention that he didn't care about these things in the first place.
"Don't worry, I think they will show signs soon," Xiuman consoled.
Lin Jinghong could only nod in response.
It was getting late. Although the city they were in was the capital of Hongya District, Lin Jinghong was already familiar with the place. His current status was far beyond that of ordinary rich second-generations, so it was not difficult to find a high-end place to eat crabs here. "Xiu Man, what will happen to Anti in the end?" Lin Jinghong suddenly asked on the way to the destination.
Xiuman was looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the car window. Hearing this, he paused for a moment and then said, "To be honest, I don't know. To reach the state those guys expect, it is completely unknown what he will become. After all, there is no predecessor to serve as a reference. For ordinary miracles, wandering gods is already the limit. When it comes to wandering gods, both the body and mind will gradually become unrecognizable..."
Listening to Xiuman's words, Lin Jinghong raised his left hand and looked at the scales growing on his skin.
Lately, there has indeed been an increase in the number of crustaceans on the skin.
Anti said that his state of balance was only temporary. Sooner or later, the balance on one side would be broken, and it was easy to imagine what he would become.
However, he had already prepared himself, deep in the sea.
"Can we keep him?"
"... Difficult. After all..."
Xiuman spoke, paused, and then said quietly: "Even he himself may not know what kind of ending he wants."
After the words were spoken, the car fell into silence.
After a long time, Xiuman suddenly frowned, and then his eyes lit up with flashing white light.
"What's wrong?" Lin Jinghong immediately noticed the abnormality and asked the driver to pull over.
Xiuman raised his hand to let Lin Jinghong calm down: "The contact...finally came, the crabs are waiting for us, we have to go back."
……
Xiuman and Lin Jinghong returned to the scene on the same night they withdrew from the Blue Star Emergency Committee and handed over their responsibilities.
"Notify all members to hold an emergency meeting and ask them to be there within half an hour. Call me when they arrive. Tell them that this is a meeting about reopening the channel between the two worlds!" Kicking the door open, Xiuman saw that the man had an elegant appearance but was extremely bohemian in heart.
Lin Jinghong could see that Xiuman actually didn't think much of the people of Blue Star. To be more precise, he seemed to look down on most people. However, for other noisy people, he was like a strict but kind father, watching them make noise quietly. But when there was something going on, he could also slap the child to the ground and drag him away to talk about business.
Lin Jinghong didn't say much and quickly started making preparations according to what Xiuman said.
At the meeting half an hour later, representatives from each district arrived, confused and anxious.
Xuman directly dictated the news plan from the mixed dream world, and the recorder on the scene played the piano with his fingers.
"I have already told you about the great enemy. The Mixed Dream Realm and Blue Star must at least work together on the surface to overcome the difficulties. And this time may be a test."
Xiuman said in a deep voice.
Xiuman did not hold back and directly performed a profound self-miracle, allowing everyone present to experience the tip of the iceberg of the anti-miracle end.
Even if the fear and the longing brought on by cognition would strengthen the anti-miraculous end, there was no hesitation.
Knowing the fear and then defeating the known fear is the key to human progress. Hiding the fear in the unknown will only make it become deeper and deeper.
No one dared to raise any questions, and all the representatives left their seats to contact the leaders of each district.
Lin Jinghong also learned about the situation at the meeting, and even though he had expected it, his expression was still heavy.
"Jinghong, wait until the passages on both sides are opened, don't hesitate, go directly to the ocean to find the whirlpool and Lindsay." Xiuman suddenly ordered Lin Jinghong without looking away.
Lin Jinghong was stunned for a moment, then responded seriously.
