Song Sijia Couldn't Smile
"That's all we can do now!"
Many committee members came to the security center, and Zhang Xuezhou also prepared to begin moving the bronze tortoise.
He was indeed somewhat unwilling, but time had already entered a rather dangerous period.
If you choose to travel by airbus or other means, it only takes this long to travel from Pan'an and other places to Western Capital City. Every extra minute of travel increases the chance of encountering Huang Daoxian.
Given that they are currently using it to set traps, it's highly unlikely that the bronze tortoise would be placed in the guard center.
"Could you give these two children another chance? They only recited it once, and they haven't even finished the second time yet!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou begin to have the bronze tortoise retrieved, Jin Shixue, who was accompanying him indoors, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Next time!"
Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, indicating that the matter should end there.
If this attempt to target Huang Daoxian succeeds, there will be virtually no need for the Qi Luck Eye in the future. If the attempt fails, few of them will survive, and everyone will have no choice but to flee far from the Scarlet Alliance State, where they will also have no need for it in the future.
Opportunities to seek out someone with a knack for luck are rare, but Zhang Xuezhou hasn't completely ruled out such requests.
"Committee Member Zhang, what exactly are we memorizing? Is there no other way besides reciting it in front of this bronze tortoise?"
Song Sijia, who had arrived early but whose head ached from memorizing, rubbed her temples. She looked at Zhen Mei, the deputy captain of the task force in charge of moving the bronze tortoise, and also seemed somewhat regretful.
Song Sijia had benefited from Zhang Xuezhou's influence and had also developed some skills.
Shortly after entering the Third Sequence, she had some minor conflicts with Zuo Denggao in North Rehe.
Not only did Song Sijia misjudge Zuo Denggao's strength, but Zuo Denggao also misjudged Song Sijia's strength.
It wasn't until their fight ended that Song Sijia realized she had defeated Zuo Denggao, who had also entered the Third Sequence.
Intimidation fighting techniques are always about using superiors to defeat inferiors. Song Sijia once doubted that Zuo Denggao was useless until she had several other people verify it, and then Song Sijia was completely certain.
Leaving aside the fact that Song Sijia fought to a draw with the Third Sequence individuals, she did indeed possess a certain level of combat capability, and was not the weakest member of the Third Sequence group.
This is something that breaks the current definition of mental deterrence combat techniques, and it has a huge impact on Song Sijia.
A scenario that would be impossible under normal circumstances was realized. After much thought, Song Sijia could only think of the extra material she had learned, and this strange material originated from Zhang Xuezhou.
If Zhang Xuezhou needed obedient younger brothers and sisters, Song Sijia felt she could be the most loyal younger sister.
The only thing that frustrated Song Sijia was that she had very few opportunities to see Zhang Xuezhou, and he didn't seem interested in her, making it extremely difficult to maintain a long-term relationship.
Zhang Xuezhou then presented her with unfamiliar material, and Song Sijia tried her best, but to her disappointment, she gained nothing this time. Every time she sensed a call from inside the bronze tortoise, she couldn't hear anything clearly and instead became agitated, causing her continuous recitation to be interrupted.
"What a pity!"
Min Ziyan and Wang Ziming only read it once, lacking experience, while Song Sijia had some understanding.
If Song Sijia could recite more, or perhaps fulfill other wishes, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Song Sijia had a chance of achieving them.
Having learned everything that Song Sijia had perceived, Zhang Xuezhou realized that Song Sijia most likely didn't have the talent for seeing luck, so further explanation would be futile.
"This is a spell, a very complicated ancient spell. It can grant our wishes, but unfortunately, the object of our wishes is problematic; it cannot understand what we say, nor can it respond to us!"
The young man, who had been expelled from the Shengteng Academy, mumbled a question, which earned him Zhang Xuezhou's higher regard.
No one who can enter the three major universities of the Scarlet Alliance State is a waste. Even if someone gets into the Shengteng Academy by rote memorization, they must have taken rote memorization to the extreme. It seems that the other person's comprehension is not entirely useless; they may just be unbalanced in their studies.
"Lin Qingyu, you did well. I hope you don't fail your exams!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement, and the student named Lin Qingyu nodded in agreement as well, feeling that her reputation for laziness and decadence had spread too far, and even these high-ranking officials knew about her academic performance.
"What a pity! As he said, if this is a spell, either it doesn't understand it, or we made the wrong wish, which is why it had no effect all day!"
Ning Que gave the final speech.
Just as Ning Que has always been excellent, his opponent is performing equally well right now.
As an excellent actor, Ning Que is not lacking in the ability to memorize lines and can also remember the content provided by Zhang Xuezhou.
He sensed some problems, but Ning Que regretted that the time was too short. This not only led to Zhang Xuezhou's inadequate arrangements, but also made it difficult for them to fully adapt in such a short period of time.
"If you can sense that you've made the wrong wish, then you probably don't have what I need," Zhang Xuezhou lamented.
"What do you need?" Ning Que asked.
"A pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that can see our opponents," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Is this opponent hard to find?" Ning Que asked.
"It's difficult," Zhang Xuezhou replied after a moment's thought. "He can look like anyone, or he can be a genetically mutated plant growing around us. He can lurk underground, or he can arrive or leave on an Airbus. We've never seen him, and we don't know where he is!"
"Will he come and try to steal this bronze statue?" Ning Que asked.
"Possibly," Zhang Xuezhou nodded in reply.
Zhang Xuezhou's response made Ning Que gasp.
Ning Que arrived at the guard center relatively early, and he saw the rocket launchers being calibrated there early on, knowing that they must be aimed at a certain location.
At the time, Ning Que didn't know where these high-powered thermal weapons were going to bomb, but now he clearly knows the situation.
Under such concentrated and powerful fire, even objects buried ten meters underground would be blown into the air and emitting blue smoke.
This show of force was only aimed at one opponent, and Zhang Xuezhou and his team even felt it wasn't enough.
"Even with his advanced age and muddled thinking, Committee Member Zhou isn't worth this much attention, is he?" Song Sijia stuck out her tongue and asked with a grin, "You haven't even met him yet, so who exactly is he?"
"It's difficult for me to explain this clearly to you," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you've seen the videos of Xuanxuan Loves Traveling in the Thousand Islands Alliance, then you'll probably understand!"
"Pill!"
Song Sijia could previously smile and try to please Zhang Xuezhou, but after hearing Zhang Xuezhou's response, she really couldn't smile anymore.
She had not only watched the relevant videos, but the Song Household's position in the Scarlet Alliance State also made her aware of many things that should not be made public.
The tragedy in Letaya City remains a secret to the general public, but Song Sijia knows the approximate number of deaths in that satellite city of the Tuer District, and even now, some of the people responsible for clearing away the moths have lost their lives.
Just thinking about the insects that breed and burst out of human bodies, and the countless moths that transform from those insects, made her feel a chill run down her spine as she contemplated the nearly ten million people living in Western Capital City.
As many memories of Letaya City flashed through Song Sijia's mind, she suddenly heard a deafening thunderclap fall from the sky.
The flash of lightning shone through the glass and onto her face.
Song Sijia jumped in fright at the sound of thunder, while Zhang Xuezhou looked outside.
"He really came!"
As the raindrops, large as beans, fell, Zhang Xuezhou murmured something to himself.
This left Song Sijia pale with shock. She felt that her life was very hard, and every time she was with Zhang Xuezhou, she would witness all sorts of terrible troubles, and there was no way she could escape even if she wanted to.
