And more importantly, his own woman had to apply to the higher-ups to send experts to kill him.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt a bit of a headache.

This misunderstanding seemed to be a bit big.

He really didn't expect that a small accident yesterday with the Emerald Shadow Dragon Yi Yi would cause so many things!

But after thinking carefully about Qin Shuman's judgment, Qiu Tu felt that it wasn't wrong.

The handling ideas of the investigating authorities have always followed Occam's Razor Theory: entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily.

That is, unless there are other clues or intelligence, otherwise everything should be verified according to the simplest conjecture.

Simplify complex things as much as possible.

So, in Qin Shuman's mind:

She personally saw a creature riding a Fourth Order Calamity Creature: Emerald Shadow Dragon last night—the one who can control a Fourth Order Calamity Creature is likely to be an Evil God—Qiu Tu discovered today that two Evil Gods had infiltrated New Realm City—then the Evil God riding the Emerald Shadow Dragon should most likely be one of the two Evil Gods.

After that, Qin Shuman naturally came to the conclusion: New Realm City is now likely to be invaded by two Evil Gods and a Fourth Order Creature.

Hmm. The whole deduction is very logical.

It's just a pity that this is not the truth.

But mistakenly injured Qiu Tu.

Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but turn his brain, thinking about how to solve this matter.

Thinking and thinking, he gradually had an idea in his mind.

After a while, he looked at Qin Shuman with a serious face, then nodded affirmatively, and said, "I think what you said makes sense."

If you want to deceive someone, the first step is never to deny the other person, but to affirm the other person first.

Because affirmation makes it easier for you to gain the other person's approval.

Qiu Tu analyzed seriously, "If things are really as you speculated, then New Realm City, and the 'Boundless Mind Sea Expansion Plan' are likely to encounter a huge crisis next."

"The destructive power of two Evil Gods and a Fourth Order Calamity Creature is too great."

"And more importantly, these are just the Evil Gods that we have discovered. In the dark, is it possible that there are third and fourth Evil Gods?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman, who was possessed by Su Xiaowan, moved her eyes slightly.

She touched her chin, thought seriously for a while, and then nodded slightly.

Seeing that he had moved Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu changed his tone and exposed his purpose, "So... I think we should prepare more now."

"Write the report requesting support first. But hold it back and don't send it."

"Then... continue to investigate the situation. See if there are any other Evil Gods or Cataclysm Creatures invading New Realm City."

Qiu Tu said in a tone of concern for Qin Shuman, "As the superiors of the department, we must have composure. We can't immediately report to the higher-ups as soon as we get a little intelligence."

"If we say that there are two Evil Gods and a Fourth Order Cataclysm Creature invading. The higher-ups send reinforcements, but find that there are other Evil Gods in the dark."

"At that time, if something happens to the reinforcements, is the responsibility on you, or on me?"

"So, you should also go back and investigate to see if the Security Department has discovered any other clues or anomalies."

"And I'll report to Director Tang now and continue the investigation."

"Once we both have results, we'll compare them and, if we're sure there are no problems, we'll report to the higher-ups together."

Hearing Qiu Tu's sincere suggestion, Qin Shuman nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense."

She clearly took it to heart, "I'll go back now and have Lin Zuo report the Intelligence to see if there are any clues related to the Evil God."

After speaking, her beautiful eyes looked at Qiu Tu with a hint of playfulness, and she said, "Then... thank you, Minister Qiu~"

Looking at Qin Shuman's cute appearance, Qiu Tu's heart fluttered, and he even had the urge to kiss her.

The two had known each other for so long and understood each other very well. Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's thoughts, Qin Shuman giggled and stepped on Qiu Tu's foot, "Hey! What are you thinking! This is Xiao Wan's body!"

"Don't mess around~!"

Qiu Tu cried out softly in pain, but when he wanted to retaliate, he found Su Xiaowan looking at him blankly.

She seemed to have just woken up and was still a little confused.

Seeing Qiu Tu, she blinked her eyes in confusion and asked blankly, "Minister Qiu? What are you doing in my bed?"

Qiu Tu: ...

Qiu Tu gently flicked her forehead, lowered his voice, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Look where you are now?"

After speaking, Qiu Tu ignored the girl's even more bewildered expression as she covered her head, and then walked into the office.

If he guessed correctly, Su Xiaowan was still sleeping in bed today when Qin Shuman possessed her.

It was estimated that she woke up halfway and took a look, and when she saw Qin Shuman controlling her body, she continued to sleep.

This confused girl was really a bit adorably cute...

Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but walk into Tang Feifei's office.

Just now, the two women must have chatted for a long time, so there was still tea on the coffee table next to the sofa.

Tang Feifei leaned on the sofa, holding a teacup in her hand, but she didn't drink it. Instead, she seemed to be lost in thought.

Her wheat-colored face was full of sorrow, looking a little dignified, and her dark brown eyes were slightly narrowed, making it difficult to see clearly.

Seeing Qiu Tu come in, Tang Feifei raised her head and looked over.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with calmness as she asked, "Did you meet Director Rain Butterfly?"

Qiu Tu gave an "Mm" sound and didn't hide it from Tang Feifei, "I exchanged some Intelligence with her."

Tang Feifei nodded slightly, then reached out a slender hand and gestured towards the sofa, "Judging by your expression, your Intelligence isn't good news."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu smiled, "That depends on how you interpret it."

After speaking, Qiu Tu sat on the sofa and handed the document in his hand to Tang Feifei.

Seeing this, the woman who resembled a female leopard took a deep breath and reached out to take the document.

After slowly reading the document in her hand, Tang Feifei's expression became even more solemn.

She might have just become one of the top three figures in the city, but her demeanor was obviously much more profound.

She didn't readily express her opinion, but instead gently tapped the file in her hand, closing her eyes to contemplate the intelligence within.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, looking at Qiu Tu like a hunting female leopard, and asked coldly, "What do you think?"

Qiu Tu had already fooled Qin Shuman, so he didn't mind fooling Tang Feifei again.

So he repeated to Tang Feifei what he had just told Qin Shuman.

Qiu Tu's rhetoric was universally effective, so before long, Tang Feifei nodded slightly, agreeing with Qiu Tu's suggestion—not to report the Evil God and Emerald Shadow Dragon matter upwards for now.

Instead, they would wait for Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman to investigate everything clearly before reporting it together and requesting reinforcements.

With that, after discussing official business, Tang Feifei put down the teacup in her hand and couldn't help but sigh, "It's another eventful time."

"I didn't expect that before we could even settle things between us, an Evil God would come to spy."

Qiu Tu, however, had already prepared himself mentally, so he was more at peace.

He said with a smile, "It's already very good that Zhao Ji's aura can deter most Evil Gods."

"Faced with such enormous benefits, how many Evil Gods can resist that temptation?"

"Don't forget, their personalities have already become very extreme, and they won't consider the consequences too much."

Tang Feifei nodded slightly upon hearing this, agreeing with Qiu Tu's words, but also said with a hint of meaning, "Yes. Even Evil Gods can't resist such enormous benefits, let alone people."

Saying this, she looked deeply at Qiu Tu and then said, "So... do you want to come back and help me?"

"You've seen it too. The situation is so dangerous now, with so many Evil Gods lurking around."

"If you act on your own, it will be very dangerous."

Qiu Tu smiled and stood up upon hearing this, "Don't worry, I will definitely be the victor this time."

After speaking, Qiu Tu said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I have a pile of things waiting for me."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei was silent for a moment, and then invited, "Come to my house for dinner tonight?"

Qiu Tu turned his head to look at her upon hearing this, and then said, "What are we eating? Stir-fried? Or snake stew?"

Tang Feifei: ...

Tang Feifei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous look flashed across her wheat-colored face.

She wasn't the kind of little girl who wouldn't dare to retort even when teased.

Although she wasn't good with words, she never backed down from anyone in action.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu decisively returned to his serious demeanor, "I have something to do tonight. Official business."

Tang Feifei didn't speak, her wheat-colored face filled with disbelief.

Qiu Tu said, "It concerns whether I can control the New World Area."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei's expression paused, and then she was silent for two seconds. Finally, she waved her hand slightly coldly, got up and went to her desk, and began to deal with official business...

Although she was Qiu Tu's superior, although she was Qiu Tu's competitor, she was also Qiu Tu's friend.

If the two of them competed fairly, she would be overjoyed if she won in the end. But if she used tricks to hold back Qiu Tu and ultimately achieve victory, she probably wouldn't be able to face Qiu Tu for the rest of her life.

She was unwilling and disdained to do such a thing!

Seeing Tang Feifei's attitude, the corners of Qiu Tu's mouth also slightly curved up. Then, he waved his hand at Tang Feifei and walked outside.

He wasn't lying to Tang Feifei. He had important business tonight, and it was indeed related to his control of the New World Area.

That was... to meet Zhao Ji, the great Evil God who controlled eight areas of the Boundless Mind Sea!

During this period, Qiu Tu had obtained enough Intelligence and information from La Riluo and the 'Memory Fragments'.

It was time to have a chat with her.

Qiu Tu felt that if the conversation went well tonight, perhaps... the chaotic situation in New Realm City could be completely cleared up.

And he would also get what he wanted...

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu left Tang Feifei's office and began preparing to meet Zhao Ji for the second time.

Time flew by, and soon, a day had passed.

At 5 PM, Qiu Tu got off work on time. He called Tan Huimin, packed his things, and headed towards East City in the Prefecture Capital.

At 6:30 PM, Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin arrived in East City.

At 7 PM, the two went to the same hotel they stayed at last time and checked in.

At 7:20 PM, Qiu Tu, like last time, arranged everything and then started the ritual to summon Zhao Ji.

At 7:30 PM, everything was ready. Qiu Tu officially started the ritual.

At the same time.

In the spiritual world, the Boundless Mind Sea.

In a place of broken walls and ruins.

Zhao Ji had a sun above her head, her hands were covered in blood, holding a beating heart. Her eyes were as deep as a cold pool, flashing with a ghostly light.

And beneath her, lay an old man with a bare upper body, a bronze complexion, and an incredibly fit physique, but with a white beard.

At this moment, the old man had a large hole in his chest, his eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief.

But, it was useless...

In the face of death, both Gods and humans were equally powerless.

When the heart was dug out and the body was pierced through, he had already embarked on the one-way street of death...

So, in just a moment, his divine body slowly crystallized, turning into the highest level of Cataclysm material: a Boundless God Crystal.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ji casually threw the equally crystallized heart on the ground, then closed her eyes, seemingly sensing something.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

It might have been only seven or eight seconds, or maybe a minute or two. Zhao Ji suddenly opened her eyes.

Her skin, as white as ice and snow, seemed to have been baptized by ice and snow, shimmering with a crystal-clear fluorescence.

And on her forehead, nine points of light slowly emerged!

With the appearance of these nine points of light, in the next second, the white mist in the surrounding area spread rapidly towards Zhao Ji's location.

In just a moment, the entire area of broken tiles and ruins was shrouded in white mist.

Then, the white mist slowly receded, and the original broken tiles and ruins turned into a desolate desert.

It was as if it had been assimilated.

If someone were to ascend into the sky above the Boundless Mind Sea and look down, they would find that in the southwestern part of the Boundless Mind Sea, nine areas had completely merged together, all of them desolate, uninhabited deserts.

This is the domain of the Great Evil God Zhao Ji.

At this moment, within this vast area, Zhao Ji once again looked up towards the eastern, central region of the Boundless Mind Sea.

Her cold eyes were deep, like a pool of bottomless clear spring.

"We will go back."

Just as she murmured these words, she suddenly seemed to sense something, and then frowned.

A moment later, the scorching sun above her head turned into a moon. In the next second, she was sucked into the moon and returned to her Divine Domain Space.

Arriving in the Divine Domain Space for the second time, Qiu Tu was still greeted by boundless darkness.

This time, Zhao Ji seemed to be a little late. Qiu Tu called out several times and waited for more than ten minutes.

Only then did Zhao Ji's icy voice reach his ears, "It's you again?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, for some reason, Qiu Tu felt that Zhao Ji's mood today seemed to be much better than last time.

Could it be that she encountered something happy?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu felt a little relieved, feeling that the probability of success for tonight's plan might be higher.

Thinking this, he followed his plan and directly dropped a bombshell.

He said to Zhao Ji with an excited expression, "Sister Yueyue, I'm here this time to tell you good news! I've finally found La Riluo Your Highness!"

This bombshell was indeed ruthless enough, so upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji in the darkness was silent for a full three seconds before slowly opening her mouth and saying, "So... that's good."

After speaking, she rarely took the initiative to ask, "Where is she now?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu deliberately showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He said, "Your Highness won't let me tell you."

Zhao Ji chuckled softly and said nothing.

Qiu Tu also kept his cool and stopped taking the initiative to speak.

Thus, the entire Divine Domain Space fell silent for a time.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

The two remained silent for more than ten seconds before Zhao Ji slowly uttered three words, "Why is that?"

Qiu Tu was waiting for these words. So he looked up and said a little hesitantly, "La Riluo Your Highness suspects there's something going on between us."

"She's very angry right now, and keeps calling me Brother-in-law."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a question mark slowly appeared above Zhao Ji's head in the darkness: ?
