A Lavish Gift
Wen Keke quickly adjusted her mindset, put on a smile again, and gestured with her eyes.
Wang Yao, who was standing next to her, received the signal and called out to the crowd, "Stop looking, go back and rest. It's just a misunderstanding."
"Mr. Bai Yang, Mr. Modian, may we speak privately for a moment?"
Bai Yang shrunk the Little Rabbit, put the small Puppet away, and finally nodded with a smile, "Then I'll take my leave."
Modian carried the Cross to Bai Yang's side. Wen Keke asked Wang Yao to come with her, leaving Liang Xinjin behind to clean up the mess.
Watching the group walk away, Liang Xinjin looked at the large crater in the ground and the half-collapsed ground, and lashed out at the remaining crowd.
If it weren't for his older Eldest Sister saving him, he would have been buried alive by those damned Bai Yang and Modian!
Even though his physical condition and abilities are far superior to before, if he were suddenly buried under these clods of earth, there is a high chance that he would perish inside.
After venting his anger, he started worrying about how to rebuild it. With the Weird Object around, restoring the place wasn't difficult; the challenge was what to do afterward.
If we continue using the same methods, the organization might still expose us later; they need to build it even more robustly.
Why don't we go and catch a few more that are good at it?
With the New Year approaching, many Family Clan are returning home; even just a few can be easily added to the manpower.
"Miss Wen's influence has grown considerably, congratulations." Bai Yang said as he walked and looked around, "It took me a bit of effort to find this place today, it wasn't easy to find."
Wen Keke understood that he was subtly mocking her, but since she dared to do it, she wasn't worried about her little scheme being exposed.
"No, it's far from being an organization. It's just that more people are willing to join us lately, and for everyone's quality of life and personal safety, I have to expand my territory a bit. This is also for everyone's convenience."
"Miss Wen is truly a good leader."
"No, no, I still have a lot to do."
The two exchanged perfunctory pleasantries before arriving at the Council Hall. Wang Yao had prepared tea for them and then stood aside to wait.
"Here, take this back." Bai Yang sat down, stretched out his palm, and a colorless flower slowly took shape, its red petals unfurling, revealing itself to be a miniature Poppy Flower.
Wen Keke raised her hand and put the flower back, her smile becoming more genuine, "Mr. Bai Yang's move was brilliant, shifting all the blame to the Instance boss and completely erasing our presence. I truly admire him."
Bai Yang chuckled, "That's all thanks to your Poppy Flower. It's a truly magical and Weird Object; not only can it bewitch others, but it can also be remotely controlled from within the plant itself."
Wen Keke raised her eyes, her brows curving into a gentle smile, "Unfortunately, it can only cause people to lose their focus temporarily; it's far from being able to completely control others like your organization's newcomer, Mr. Ravenhall."
Wen Keke's ability is gentle and silent; once she creates even the slightest opening, it will grow wildly along that opening.
Those controlled by her are unaware that they are being controlled; they simply feel compelled to do something for her.
Unlike Wang, his abilities are powerful and direct.
Qin Rang's first loss of control in the Instance, when he Evil Ghost Mask, was caused by Wen Keke.
From the very beginning, she had her eye on Qin Rang from the Calamity Crossing Squad.
Bai Yang leaned back in his chair and said, "Now that you've achieved your goal, when will you fulfill your promise to me?"
Wen Keke lowered her eyes. "It will take some time. You know those things aren't easy to get."
Seeing her decline, Bai Yang wasn't annoyed. He propped his head up with one hand and said calmly, "You want Qin Rang lose control because you want something from him, right?"
Wen Keke's expression changed almost imperceptibly.
"What is it? It could be Evil Ghost Mask, but it's more than just Evil Ghost Mask."
Bai Yang picked up the Puppet and placed it on the table to fiddle with it. In a casual, lighthearted tone, he said, "I guess you're looking for what your Older Sister wants, but you don't know what it is."
After saying this, Bai Yang looked at Wen Keke, who Wen Keke her lips, looking unhappy and remaining silent.
Wen Keke remained silent, as did Bai Yang, and a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
After waiting for a while, Modian impatiently moved the chair around; the height was particularly uncomfortable for him now that he had long arms and legs.
Seemingly worried that Modian would take action, Wen Keke broke the silence first, saying in a deep voice, "We already have a lead on that thing, and we won't lie to you."
"Very well, then I'll give you a big gift too." Bai Yang stared intently at her and said, "Qin Rang's things aren't so easy to take. Even if you do get them, it won't be a good thing for you."
"If you're interested, you can join the Calamity Crossing Squad. Then you'll understand what I mean."
Wen Keke didn't understand what he meant, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for the reminder."
"I already have a finished product of what Mr. Bai Yang was curious about last time. Would you like to go take a look?"
Bai Yang stood up. "Okay."
More than ten minutes later, Bai Yang left the Worship God and sat on the Bronze Horse to examine the things Wen Keke had given him.
That was the payment they agreed on last time.
The allure and control of the Poppy Flower Weird Object are addictive; once controlled and bewitched, people will unconsciously want to get close to her and protect her.
As soon as they leave Wen Keke, they experience unbearable pain and itching all over their bodies.
In her hands, people are just disposable materials.
The reason her organization had so few people before was because every now and then, Wen Keke would purge those who had been in contact with Poppy Flower the longest.
These severely addicted people were placed in a pool of blood by her, and their energy was extracted using a special Weird Object Extraction Vessel. The final result was three blood-red Energy Orb in the box in front of them.
These things contain pure energy and can be very useful at certain times.
Bai Yang rode his Bronze Horse to a deserted area, tore open Portal, and returned to the Boundless Land.
Taking the item from the Vest, Lin Nieran picked up one of the red beads from the box.
The bead was warm to the touch, like a piece of congealed blood. He held it up to the light, and the light gathered within it, appearing hazy and indistinct, which was quite beautiful.
Seeing this, Serlandin, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, laughed and said, "Where did the True Form get this treasure? It's more beautiful than many expensive jewels, but it has a foul smell about it."
Lin Nieran laughed, "This thing is easy to obtain in some ways, but difficult in others. However, it's not suitable for you to use Serlandin."
Serlandin smiled gently, "I understand."
Setting down the blood droplet in his hand, Lin Nieran lazily poked the System Ball: "007, you said this thing Wen Keke made can instantly replenish energy, is it really that useful?"
[Of course! Before the Authorities developed Energy-Recovery Potion, this thing Wen Keke!]
