Chapter 524 - Spies

Chapter 524

: Spies

After breakfast, Ling Ping’an had just gone upstairs and hadn’t even passed through the door yet…

Before he received a call from the royal family.

“Hello! Young Master Ling, I’m Qin Keqing, Personal Secretary to Her Highness, the eldest princess…”

“We’ve met before!”

“Mmm…” Ling Ping’an vaguely remembered that when he had arrived at the Imperial City, he had been received by this very person who called herself the ‘Personal Secretary to the eldest princess’.

“It’s like this!” The other party used nice words and asked gently, “I was just wondering, how did you enjoy the fellowship party this time, Young Master?”

“Pretty good!” Ling Ping’an quickly said.

“Then…” The female voice on the phone carefully probed, “Did you meet anyone to your liking?”

Ling Ping’an immediately replied, “Not yet!”

“I see!” She seemed to think for a moment before saying, “Is it because… the women you met at the sorority are not in line with your standards?”

Ling Ping’an’s head suddenly felt like it was in a dream.

The Fedral Committee for the Children of Meritorous Contributors had a nickname on the internet.

The Singles Exterminators!

This point was reflected in many movies and TV series.

The descendants of a certain meritorious man had personal problems that could not be solved because of his family’s decline.

At this moment, the Committee had descended from the sky and asked him right off the bat, “Mr. XXX, do you want a wife?”

As long as he nodded, they would bring a delicate woman over and introduce her without any explanation.

This was how people got wives in such a country!

From all kinds of movies and dramas, the Committee had perseverance in eliminating those who were single.

Unless, the men took the initiative to announce that they were gay.

Thinking of this, Ling Pingan could only immediately change his words. “Not really…”

He could only say, against his conscience, “There were still a few girls who were not bad!”

“That’s right…” He pretended to sound abstract and coughed. “It’s a long story!”

Uhhh…

You guys know it.

I’m just a poor person from Jiangcheng city.

How could other people take a fancy to a poor guy like me?

There was no such plot in the reviews!

The other party seemed to understand his metaphor and immediately said, “Is that so?”

“Then I wish you a happy life!”

Ling Ping’an put down his phone and laughed.

It seemed that this committee was quite easy to fool!

…

Qin Keqing hung up the phone and looked at the eldest princess who was sitting on a chair with her back to her.

“Your Highness!” She said carefully, “It seems that Young Master Ling doesn’t think that the people he has come into contact with are qualified to be his wives!”

Li Rou’an turned her chair and turned around. She gently stroked the white fox in her arms.

“Yes!” She only nodded slightly.

However, her jet-black eyes, which were as calm as a pool of water, faintly flashed with a strange light.

“As for the press conference the day after tomorrow…”

“I plan to hold it at the Renyi building on the east side of the city!”

The Renyi Building was a landmark building in the imperial capital.

It was also one of the publicly owned properties of the royal family.

Qin Keqing listened and didn’t ask more questions. She only nodded. “Yes! I will arrange the relevant work…”

“But…” She looked at her master. “Your Highness… What about the customer service department?”

After the announcement of Legend of Nightmares’ Customer Service Department was released, this was a question that had been bottled up in her heart.

The department was established, and the relevant office facilities were in place.

However, up until now, the office building that was specially designated as the ‘Customer Service Department of the Legend of Nightmares’ was still empty.

Not only were there no staff, but there were also no machines and equipment.

Li Rou’an caressed the white fox in her arms and said, “You don’t need to worry about this!”

“Everything will be there when the time comes!”

Qin Keqing listened and could only bow respectfully. “Understood!”

Li Rou’an gently turned her chair and turned it around again.

Her eyes were looking beyond the curtains, at the courtyard of the imperial palace shining under the bright sunlight.

Even though it was already early winter…

In the courtyard, it was as if it was spring.

Hundreds of flowers bloomed, and bees and butterflies danced around.

This was the result of the night Emperor’s descent.

The imperial palace was especially taken care of.

Therefore, this place was almost on the verge of becoming a city of spring.

Psionic power radiation, even in winter, was as warm as spring and summer.

“You go and do your work!” Li Rou’an instructed.

“Understood!” Qin Keqing nodded and carefully stepped out of the bedchamber.

Then, she gently closed the door.

In an instant, only Li Rou’an and the white fox in her arms were left in the huge bedchamber.

The eldest princess of the federal empire gently stroked the white fox in her arms.

Her shoulder-length hair was gently gathered in in front of her.

At this moment, a butterfly flew in from the window and landed on her hand.

It flapped its wings slightly.

It seemed to like the smell emanating off of Li Rou’an very much.

It stopped there and didn’t want to leave for a long time.

Li Rou’an laughed and brought the little guy to the window. She said softly, “Little guy, this isn’t a place where you should be… Go on… To your vast world!”

The small butterfly slowly flew towards the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

However, the white fox in Li Rou’an’s arms seemed to have gotten some kind of shock at this moment.

It let out a low growl, its fox tail stood up high, and its fur hardened strand by strand.

Li Rou’an did not turn back.

Because she knew that this customer did not want her to do so.

She heard a voice behind her that seemed to be mixed with many kinds of vocal cords, like sandpaper rubbing against leather.

“We’re already done with the preparations!”

The other party said, “All you need to do is provide us with an authorization document!”

Li Rou’an asked, “So you also need things like documents?”

“We do have to put on an act, after all!” The other party said, “If master thinks that we’re too rude… we’ll be slapped!”

At this part, the other party’s vocal cords trembled.

Master…

Was in a beautiful dream.

Moreover, it was an unprecedented beautiful dream.

When he woke up, everything would change.

Past standards and experiences would no longer be used to speculate about the master who had awakened.

Didn’t you notice that many people were secretly modifying themselves now?

Wasn’t this because back then, Master thought that a certain guy was too ugly and scared his family…

So, he stepped on him and killed him?

That unlucky guy’s corpse had been hanging between the gaps of the two universes until now, allowing the void storms to tear it apart!

Li Rou’an listened and smiled. “I’ve already written the document!”

“It’s in my drawer…”

“You can do as you please!”

“Okay!” The other party nodded.

It was as if there was something, like a snake, gently squirming.

Fwsh, the drawer opened.

“Very good!” The person behind her said, “Now, you can turn back!”

Li Rou’an turned back.

She saw a man with slightly dark skin, who seemed to have Kunlun state blood, standing opposite her desk.

He was wearing a standard black royal uniform.

There was a nameplate on his chest, and on the nameplate was his position: the Director of the Customer Service Department of the Legend of Nightmares, Ao Hai.

He grinned with incomparable brilliance, as gentle as an uncle next door.

“Your Highness!” He touched his chest slightly. “I am the director of the Customer Service Department of the Legend of Nightmares, Ao Hai, whom you have just appointed!”

Li Rou’an nodded.

“Then, I will be on my way to work!” He smiled with an intimacy that made people couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity and trust with him.

Except, she had known early on that this ‘human’ was a monster in and out.

Moreover, he was the most terrifying type. Even Li Rou’an was almost taken in by this smile.

“Are you wearing human skin?” Li Rou’an recalled a story that she had read when she was young.

Painted skin.

Ao Hai laughed and said amiably, “Your Highness… You can’t accuse me wrongly!”

He narrowed his eyes. “How could I have carried out such a low-level act?”

“This is one of my clones!”

“In a certain world, he was the leader of a powerful country too!”

“When that country was about to go downhill…”

“He specially helped and stepped on the accelerator!”

He said it in an extremely casual manner.

But when Li Rou’an heard it, she felt a chill run down her spine.

A monster like that had infiltrated a certain world and was even able to brazenly become the head of the world’s most powerful country.

She could imagine what would happen to such a monster after he sat in that high a position.

The other party saw the fear in her eyes.

He saw through it with a glance, or rather, read her heart.

“You can’t look at me like that!”

“Do I look like that kind of person?”

“At least, this clone of mine is quite friendly to humans!”

“So far, I haven’t even killed a fish with my own hands, not to mention humans!”

“Of course…”

“If other people insist on killing each other, that has nothing to do with me!”

“You might not believe it…”

“but in actuality, I’m the leader of human technology.”

“In this world…”

“I once shook an apple tree in a thousand and one worlds so that an apple would fall on the head of a cute little boy…”

“I once revealed the secret between mass and energy in the ears of hundreds of different scientists…”

“For the sake of advancing science in countless worlds…”

“I really poured my heart and soul into it!”

“In your words… I bent to the task and spared no effort unto my dying day!”

Li Rou’an was even more terrified when she heard this.

Everyone knew the story of Newton the scholar and the apple tree.

And that was before the recovery of spirit aura.

The secret between mass and energy?

Wasn’t that the mass energy equation left behind by Taizu?

So Taizu was once influenced by him?

Ao Hai grinned, “Princess, don’t think too much!”

“In this world, I don’t dare to act recklessly!”

This was the truth!

If he was also present in this world, how could the current situation be like this?

They’d already start fighting, alright?

Perhaps, the wasteland would have already entered and exited seven times.

To him, the most interesting thing was to influence the elites of the human race.

Let them kill each other in the name of justice.

In the end, they’d have their blood and strength totally drained.

The entire world would finally be engulfed by despair and pain.

Moreover, these despair and pain were created continuously by the humans themselves.

Thus, he could feast on them.

That was the best beverage.

The best thing to drink in the entire universe!

Nothing else could compare!

And in this world, he really didn’t dare to act recklessly!

Because…

The master was here!

It wasn’t his place to tell him what to do.

However, Li Rou’an didn’t dare to believe what Ao Hai said.

After all, how could humans believe in monsters?

She didn’t dare, and she didn’t dare not believe it either.

After all, this monster had already appeared in this world.

Then, his words at least revealed some secrets.

Therefore, Li Rou’an forced herself to calm down and looked at that man.

He seemed to be part of the Kunlun State bloodline.

“Sir…” she asked, “Were the few extraterrestrial visitors that appeared in Jupiter also your handiwork?”

Ao Hai narrowed his eyes and smiled. “As expected, you guys also noticed it?”

Li Rou’an’s heart immediately jumped to her throat.

After the human spacecrafts had launched into the space orbit, the scientists of the Federal Empire began to use these spacecrafts and the astronomical facilities on the ground to observe their own galaxy and the entire universe.

This was because everyone was worried that in this era of the recovery of the spirit aura, there was a chance that aliens or transcendent aliens might arrive from outer space.

For decades, the Federal Empire alone had launched dozens of space telescopes into orbit.

Its model had also evolved from the Zhang Heng model to the Hai model.

These telescopes and various spaceships observed the local galaxy, the Milky Way, and even the universe.

And so…

People discovered one terrible fact after another.

The most important discovery was that the universe was terrifyingly quiet!

Until now, human beings had not received any extraterrestrial electromagnetic signals from space.

Human beings seemed to be the only civilization in the universe.

Or rather, the only surviving civilization that could develop advanced science and technology.

However, at the same time, people began to notice some clues.

There seemed to be huge and unusual empty space zones in the universe.

Some of these empty space zones even spanned hundreds of millions of light years.

This made countless scientists unable to sleep or eat.

It also made many people’s hair stand on end just thinking about it.

However…

The universe was not quiet.

Especially in recent years, the Federal Empire alone had observed some unusual celestial bodies in Jupiter’s orbit many times.

Those celestial bodies were usually rectangular asteroid-like objects.

Originally, people treated them as ordinary asteroids.

Until ten years ago, an asteroid suddenly began to accelerate, and with the help of Jupiter’s gravity, it left the solar system at an unusual speed.

At the same time, a new asteroid came from the outer orbit of the solar system with an abnormal trajectory.

However…

All of humanity’s technological means showed that these were just normal asteroids.

They had no electromagnetic signals and no biological signals.

The Federal Empire had tried to send probes into Jupiter’s Orbit.

The data returned by the probes showed that everything was normal.

Therefore, this matter did not cause any panic.

But now…

Li Rou’an knew that those celestial bodies were abnormal!

“Actually…” Ao Hai narrowed his eyes and said to Li Rou’an, “It’s okay to tell you!”

His master had taught him to be polite and to follow the rules.

So he chuckled. “Those things are actually spies sent by a few traitors who are hiding in a dark corner and feeling guilty!”

“You don’t have to worry about them!”

“Because…” Ao Hai lowered his head and licked his lips. “I’m staring at them!”

Traitors…

Deserve to die!

Master had given the order to capture and execute all of them!
