Am I a Hidden Big Shot?

"Crackling and popping~"

Shen Hui listened to the sound of the downpour, the oppressive atmosphere in the air finally dissipated.

That sense of crisis was gone, and the feeling of being watched had vanished without a trace.

The clouds parted, revealing the bright moon.

There was no blinding, deathly white light, no black smile.

This is a normal moon.

Shen Hui was completely unaware of the reactions and speculations from various external forces.

However, it's easy to guess that he wasn't the only one who noticed the unusual phenomenon on the moon.

He also realized that he seemed to have unintentionally done something really awesome.

He withdrew from his Creator Form and looked at the Raven flapping its wings.

Shen Hui raised his hand and landed on his palm.

The Raven's words were still clearly echoing in Shen Hui's mind.

That wasn't something Shen Hui said subjectively, but rather feedback from the wisdom contained within the Raven, combined with the independent individual represented by his fragmented consciousness.

"Tell me what you know?"

Shen Hui spoke to Raven, attempting to communicate with its instinctive feedback.

Raven tilted its head and looked at Shen Hui, its eyes sparkling.

Then came a strained, hoarse voice. "What do you know? What do you know?"

Raven repeated Shen Hui's words twice.

Shen Hui was embarrassed. "You really are telling me to just say what you know."

Shen Hui tried to communicate with the Raven again, but there was no substantial progress.

Instead, the Raven started mimicking Shen Hui's speech from time to time.

Or, through imitation, they might spontaneously organize themselves into sentences that are fundamentally incoherent.

Shen Hui had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Shen Hui picked up the phone, which had been hung up long ago; there were two missed calls.

They were all calls from Qingxue.

Shen Hui called back, and Qingxue's voice immediately came through the phone.

"What's wrong? Why did you hang up suddenly? You just said something was wrong with the moon, what happened?"

Qingxue keenly noticed Shen Hui's unusual behavior just now.

Otherwise, based on her understanding of Shen Hui, he wouldn't have spoken in such an urgent tone unless something particularly strange had happened.

"I saw something unusual, possibly related to some alien cult, but it's gone now."

Shen Hui didn't hide anything, but he also didn't reveal what he had done.

"An alien church? Is it the Giant God Cult contacting you again?"

"It's not the Giant God Cult, and they're not looking for me."

Upon hearing Shen Hui's words, Qingxue's tense tone softened on the other end of the phone.

"A new cult? There have been rumors of heretics lurking in the Land of the Unfettered lately; things haven't been peaceful."

"Land of the Unfettered?"

Shen Hui muttered to himself, wondering if it was related to what had just happened.

In short, it's clear that there's something fishy going on underneath.

"Okay, that's settled for now. I'll come find you tomorrow."

Shen Hui ended the call with Qingxue. No matter how things change, life must go on.

The next day, Shen Hui woke up very early.

After washing up, I didn't rush to find Qingxue.

It was still early, so Shen Hui used the device on his wrist to log into the Starry Sky Leaderboard's stronghold.

This will become a habit for Shen Hui; he will check every day to see if any tasks have been posted or any new announcements.

There were already quite a few people in the lobby of the Starry Sky Leaderboard base.

They all gathered together to talk.

Shen Hui also joined in.

"You know what? Something really serious happened before that torrential rain came last night."

"Are you trying to be a riddle reader? Last night, all we had was a bit of lightning and a bit of thunder, so what?"

"You're a bit out of touch; you didn't even know that."

"Stop talking nonsense. Everyone here has some information; I just haven't asked my family yet."

"Let me tell you. The moon behaved strangely last night; it seemed like some cult was performing a summoning ritual."

"Holy crap, no way? I didn't even see the moon yesterday."

"You can't see anything. I heard from my family that those are changes in a deep space, and only those big shots can see them."

"Tch, I know that news too, but do you know what happened next?"

"I don't know. What, do you know?"

"Yeah, what happened next? Another cult appeared, and they even successfully carried out a ritual. Isn't that even more powerful than the Giant God Cult?"

"I know nothing! I was just waiting for you to tell me."

"I don't know either, damn it. That's all the information my family told me, and they told me not to talk about it."

"That's strange. How come no one knows anything about this? Is there no follow-up? Is this all they know?"

Everyone chimed in, adding their own stories to what they had heard from their families or elders.

However, what they knew seemed incomplete, lacking details of what happened next.

However, someone immediately spoke up with a hint of smugness:

"Looks like your information isn't very good, or perhaps the families behind you lack access to information? Heh."

The speaker was Long Yizheng, who ranked first in the overall Leaderboard last month.

Apart from Shen Hui, everyone present was from a powerful family or influential organization.

His words were undoubtedly a veiled criticism of their lack of family or political influence.

The others couldn't tolerate this.

"What are you saying? Do you even know what you're talking about?"

Long Yizheng chuckled, "Of course, it's just inside information I have."

Hearing Long Yizheng's words immediately piqued their curiosity.

They even forgot the mockery they had just received.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

"Yes, what happened next? This was a big event, and there wasn't a single word about it."

Long Yizheng smiled and didn't keep them in suspense any longer.

"This is just hearsay, and I can't guarantee its accuracy. After the strange phenomenon occurred, President Fan Hao actually reacted, and I think the major families among you who are aware of it have also reacted."

Many people nodded.

"The ceremony should have been completed under normal circumstances, but for some reason, it was interrupted."

"It even altered the phenomena summoned by the heretical rituals, something that even President Fan Hao and his team couldn't prevent at the time."

Upon hearing Long Yizheng's words, they immediately understood.

"Holy crap, is this how it is? Do you even know who did this?"

"I don't know about that. I'm afraid even Chairman Fan Hao and the others don't know who or which faction it is."

"Could it be that some ancient, reclusive creator from our planet was secretly protecting us and intervened during last night's crisis?!"

"There are definitely hidden creators, but the idea of ancient times is exaggerated. However, whether it's them or not, I think you can all ask your own families."

They started brainstorming and guessing who it might be.

As someone in the know, and even one of the parties involved, Shen Hui listened silently as their conversation twitched at the corners of his mouth.

He seemed to have become the reclusive tycoon they had imagined.
