Bai Yang's Cooperation

Since cooperating with the organization, the Authorities have become much tougher in their actions, showing no mercy in many matters, which has intimidated some smaller organizations and Family Clan.

Even truly powerful Family Clan can only issue warnings; they cannot actually destroy Family Clan.

They have the capability to destroy, but not the resources to maintain order afterward, so they cannot do so.

The Bai Family, the Luo Family of Luohai City, and some other large Family Clan, who knew a lot about the inside story and had met with the Family Clan, either chose to remain neutral or to be on good terms with the Authorities.

Many more Family Clan chose to remain silent and observe.

For a time, the three forces —Family Clan, organization, and Authorities— were once again locked in a stalemate.

The Family Clan dared not openly engage in corruption and embezzlement, the Authorities dared not take action to crack down on them, and the organization remained neutral, only allowing transactions.

On the contrary, it was the Worship God that survived in the cracks of this unstable "balance" and rapidly developed their power.

Over the course of two months, discussions about the organization continued to rage within the established regional network.

There was even a heated discussion about voting for their favorite organization member.

Criticism, praise, and blind obedience.

"This poll is really interesting." Wen Keke's eyes were fixed on the screen. Although she was smiling as she spoke, there was no real smile in her eyes. "Mr. Bai Yang, what do you think?"

"Ah, I'm curious, who has the most votes right now?"

Across from Wen Keke, Bai Yang smiled as he drank the tea she had prepared. Little Bear and Little Rabbit sat obediently on his left and right shoulders, with a bunch of small Puppet clinging tightly to him beneath him.

"The mystery hasn't been solved yet; it takes time," Wen Keke said with a smile, "Just like you, Mr. Bai Yang."

"You're clearly the most trusted member of the Calamity Crossing Squad, yet you reached an agreement with us long before the Authorities cooperation. You're the one who's been hiding the truth the most."

Bai Yang rested his chin on his hand and smiled, "How could that be? I'm good friends with them, and I can be with you too."

"Ms. Wen Keke, I'm just a weak, ordinary person with no real abilities. Even if we cooperate, I can't offer you as much as my colleagues."

So even if I come to see you, what does it signify?

"Mr. Bai Yang, please don't belittle yourself. With the help of your Puppet, we have completely subdued the Liang Family and brought most of the Family Heads in Yangcheng under our control. Your help to us has been immense."

Standing beside Wen Keke Wang Yao flattered her, "I believe we'll soon be able to fulfill our promise to you—"

"--Kill the Calamity Crossing Squad."

Bai Yang curled his lips into a smile, his dark eyes fixed on him. "I believe you can do it. After all, you still have people in the Calamity Crossing Squad. Even without my help, it wouldn't be difficult for you to get to where you are now."

Wen Keke paused, her hand reaching for the Poppy Flower at her neck. "It's true, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of those Fate Seer. You are truly a terrifying group. If we weren't partners, it's hard to imagine how formidable your opponents would be."

"But we didn't do anything; you chose this path yourselves."

Wen Keke laughed, "That's what makes you so terrifying—an all-knowing Judgment Office. It sounds truly..."

Fear, and a desire to possess it.

Whether it was Bai Yang, who could possess and control Puppet, or the Cat Boy who was invincible whenever he attacked, they both captivated her. But no matter what she tried, she couldn't control either of them.

"... I'm envious."

"That's good. I advise you not to have any ulterior motives."

"Don't worry, I'm a very sensible person." Wen Keke won't take any action until she's capable of doing so.

Bai Yang said, "If you discover any unusual activity in those places I mentioned, report it immediately."

"I won't forget my promise. I hope we can both get what we want." Wen Keke raised her glass with a bright smile.

Bai Yang also raised his glass, smiling, and said, "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Several young people raised their glasses and laughed in celebration.

The crew-cut man finished his drink in one gulp and exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! Sister Cui, you're different from the rest of the Cui Family. You really can help us solve these strange occurrences. This time, you even let us see Lord Modian. Thank you so much!"

Cui Qiyin lowered his eyes. "No need to thank me, it was your sincere hearts that moved Lord Modian. It's just that someone like him is only suitable to be observed from afar; we don't yet have the ability to speak with him."

"We understand, Sister Cui! Don't worry, we'll just quietly support Lord Modian. We'll never be like those brainwashed fans of the Black Cat, talking to the cat all day long and trying to find their followers."

The others nodded in agreement. "Exactly! It's ridiculous that they can't even find the people they believe in and follow."

Cui Qiyin said, "We shouldn't be too happy yet. We should keep a low profile. The believers in angels have already caused a lot of dissatisfaction because they are too extreme. We need to be careful not to overdo it, understand?"

"Clear!"

Cui Qiyin found these people seven days ago.

Since the organization partnered with the Authorities, the Authorities has been paving the way for its members and has stopped intentionally hiding information about them.

As a result, most of the organization's members were gradually discovered, with the most fervent pursuers being Modian, the False Angel Lai'er, and the Black Cat.

They spontaneously formed a fanatical organization and followed them into the Instance.

Cui Qiyin came here specifically after receiving the news, and unexpectedly managed to infiltrate their ranks and resolve their predicament. Now he has completely blended in with them.

Although these are currently a bunch of low-level people with limited abilities, their loyalty and trust are their greatest strengths.

If she can bring these people under her control, build them into an obedient team, and gather enough information and leverage before meeting with the organization, she will surely get what she wants.

Of course, everything in the outside world had nothing to do with the Calamity Crossing Squad returning from the Instance.

This Instance run took an exceptionally long time. The Calamity Crossing Squad returned from the Instance with almost no injuries. They were taken away by the Authorities for treatment and remained in a deep coma for several days and nights.

That Instance wasn't fully cleared; it was only temporarily closed. The eerie creature is still alive, and the Logistics Department needs to handle it. Alternatively, we can wait for the eerie creature to revive before we can kill it again.

Qin Rang was the first to regain consciousness in the team. After telling the Authorities all the Rules he knew, he lay in bed for a while longer.

Two months of Instance had left him so exhausted that he felt like throwing up at the mere mention of the word "weird."

At night, Qin Rang lay listlessly in his hospital bed watching the live stream that the Head of the Tao Family had found for him to pass the time. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the door was suddenly pushed open by a small Rabbit Plush Toy.
