Chapter 965: The Fuyan
Chapter 965: The Fuyan
Why is there oil on my body?
Upon hearing the white snake's inquiry, a look of sorrow and indignation appeared on the face beneath the Serpent Director's mask.
Why is there oil? Of course, it's because I was tricked by a pair of scoundrels and fell into their trap! How could this possibly be something I did to myself?
Although the Serpent Director wanted to shout this out and question why they didn't inform him beforehand, the oil ointment of the Western Carleva Kingdom, which had been used for thousands of years, couldn't be removed in a short time. Being at the mercy of others, he had no choice but to hold back his words, and with a sigh of exasperation, he replied, "I've recently absorbed too much of the Doctrine of Equity bloodline, but my understanding of the Doctrine of Equity faculty isn't deep enough, so the faculty has temporarily overflowed, turning into this oil. It'll be fine in a few days after it's discharged..."
Looking at the white snake-masked man with an enlightened expression, the Serpent Director, whose teeth were almost grinding, asked in a furious tone, "Since that damnable Stomach God is so difficult to deal with, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"..."
Why are you getting impatient all of a sudden?
After being scorched by the Serpent Director's sudden outburst, the white snake-masked man, seeing the Serpent Director's bitter expression, couldn't help but frown, his face slightly displeased. He explained with a hint of annoyance, "We only just discovered the Stomach God's whereabouts recently, so..."
"How long ago was this?"
Recalling his tragic experience in the Deephold Sanctuary, the Serpent Director, who almost became a puff pastry from the Doctrine of Equity ointment, couldn't help but shout with reddened eyes, "Such important news, and you're only telling me now? What if I fall into that bastard's hands? Why didn't you wait until he killed me before telling me?"
"???"
What's wrong with him now?
Seeing the Serpent Director acting as if he had taken the wrong medicine, like a cat with its tail stepped on, suddenly turning his wrath towards himself, the white snake-masked man paused for a moment, and his face also turned cold.
"Knowing now isn't too late! Just remember that the Stomach God of the Cleanup Bureau is an extremely troublesome person, so try not to provoke him!"
The problem is I've already provoked him! Even now, just hearing his name makes me want to kneel and bow to him!
Feeling like his soul had been fished out of an oil barrel, the Serpent Director, who had already suffered a major setback, couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. He then gritted his teeth and said, "I know whether to provoke him or not! But why are you bringing him up now? If you have something to say, speak quickly!"
"Fine!"
Facing the Serpent Director's harsh words, the white snake finally lost his patience and couldn't be bothered to say more. He simply raised his hand and lightly tapped the long table twice. As the white snake moved, the central tabletop of the skeletal long table slowly split open, and a hemispherical green eye rolled out.
"This is the Fuyan of Wan Wu Tian Chan."
Pointing to the green eye that was still blinking on the table, the white snake-masked man indicated for the Serpent Director to take it. Then, with a blank expression, he said, "Although Wan Wu Tian Chan was killed by the Cleanup Bureau, he wasn't captured by them. Instead, he died elsewhere, so his body wasn't obtained by the Bureau.
Among the five eyes he used to comprehend the principles of the world, the three single eyes representing 'cognition', 'rules', and 'methods' were melted away by the Bureau, using unknown means across several planes.
As for the remaining pair of Fuyan used to observe 'individuals' and the 'world', they were dug out from the old palace of the Ancient King. The one we're giving you now is the Fuyan that represents 'individuals'."
The Fuyan of Wan Wu Tian Chan?
After listening to the white snake's words, the Serpent Director was slightly startled, and instinctively looked at the green Fuyan the size of a thumb on the table.
Upon sensing the Serpent Director's gaze, the small Fuyan on the skeletal long table turned towards him, silently 'staring' back.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by a sound like a million dragonflies flapping their wings, the deep green Fuyan on the table suddenly swelled up. The originally smooth surface suddenly bulged with countless tiny bumps that were difficult to discern with the naked eye.
However, upon closer inspection, these bump-like objects weren't mere bumps but tiny eyeballs of the same color as the green Fuyan, separated and densely packed, making it difficult to count them.
In the instant the Fuyan, no larger than a glass bead, stared back at the Serpent Director, it split into millions of even smaller eyes, and each eye clearly reflected his figure, revealing everything about the Serpent Director from the inside out.
'Human'
After the green Fuyan blinked slightly, the first figure hidden among the million eyes shattered, and every member of the Anti-Kingdom Union looking at the Fuyan simultaneously received a brief 'knowledge' about the Serpent Director.
As the green eyes blinked repeatedly, one after another, information related to the Serpent Director flooded into the minds of those present, each piece of knowledge shattering within the silhouettes before them.
'Male', 'Short-lived', 'Flesh and Blood', 'Inheritor of the Crimson Blood', 'Exceptionally Talented';
'Brave and Fearless', 'Impulsive and Blunt', 'Average Intellect', 'Likes to Play the Smart One';
'Strongly Opposed to the Cleanup Bureau', 'Wants to Overthrow the Material World', 'Received the Unction Seal of Justice...';
"Slap!"
Sudely, a hand covered the Fuyan on the table, blocking the view of all the deities who were looking at it. The Serpent Director, who had almost been exposed, couldn't help but ask with a face ashen with rage:
"What do you mean by this?"
"Hehe, don't overthink it."
Recalling the 'knowledge' that had just entered his mind, he found the information about the Serpent Director's strong opposition to the Cleanup Bureau and his desire to overthrow the material world. A smile returned to the Bai She's face.
"Before giving you such a precious thing, I should let you know its purpose, right? As for what just happened, it was just a minor accident."
Assured that the Serpent Director's "stance" was not an issue and that he still stood with the Anti-Kingdom Union, Bai She smiled and explained:
"After all, you've just recovered from the Scarlet Core of the Crimson King, and you may not be fully aware of the changes in the material world and the Cleanup Bureau. So, we specifically brought out this Wan Wu Tian Chan's Fuyan, hoping it would be of help to you."
"Help me with what?"
"Of course, to help you avoid the Stomach God from the Cleanup Bureau."
The smile on the man with the Bai She mask faded slightly, and he explained seriously:
"We've already imprinted the appearance and aura of the Stomach God into this Fuyan. Once you wear this eyeball, as long as you're in the same dimension as the Stomach God, he will always be in your field of vision. No matter how he tries to hide, he won't be able to escape your eyes."
"Currently, the directors of the Cleanup Bureau are unable to spare any time, and the director of the White Sheep Division is not stationed in the Western Carleva Kingdom. The only person who poses a threat to you is the Stomach God. As long as you make good use of this Fuyan and avoid the Stomach God, our plan will definitely succeed."
"..."
The plan made sense, and the arrangements were good, but you gave me this information too late!
Wiping away the ointment that had dripped onto his face, he adjusted his slightly slipping mask and nodded, indicating that he had remembered how to use this item. Then, he put away the Fuyan and said with a stern face:
"Aside from this, is there anything else you wanted to discuss with me?"
"No, that's all."
Smiling at the Serpent Director, Bai She made an inviting gesture towards the distance, adding an extra layer of insurance to their plan.
"We've conveyed everything we needed to tell you. If you want to leave... hehe, you're quite quick to depart."
Looking at the empty space where the Serpent Director had been, Bai She shook his head and chuckled inwardly. The old woman on his right, wearing a Mihou mask, couldn't help but ask:
"Bai She, this Serpent Director... what's the deal with him?"
"He seems a bit dim-witted, doesn't he?"
"Yes..."
The old woman nodded slightly, her expression strained as she said:
"Even the eyes of Wan Wu Tian Chan believe that he's not only of average intellect but also likes to play the smart one. I'm worried he might not be able to handle this matter well."
"There won't be any problems."
Bai She shook his head at this and replied with confidence:
"Although the Serpent Director may not be the sharpest, his strength is among the top directors of the Cleanup Bureau. The only potential issue with this plan is that he might overestimate his abilities and try to contact the Stomach God.
But we've just lent him the eyes of Wan Wu Tian Chan, giving him a way to completely avoid the Stomach God. Seeing his aversion towards the Stomach God, he will surely steer clear of him in the future, so our plan will definitely succeed!"
"But what if..."
"It doesn't matter if it fails."
Bai She waved his hand and said:
"The plan for the Twin Kingdom has reached its final stage. We just need to wait quietly for success, and we haven't had a deity descend; we've only slightly opened a part of the Yuan Shen Tai and allowed the Serpent Director to ascend to the divine realm. What could possibly go wrong?"
...
"You're back?"
Looking at the Serpent Director, who had removed his black Goulu mask and was holding some unknown object, the red-haired director, who had been waiting by his side, took a swig of wine and asked with a smile:
"What did the Anti-Kingdom Union say?"
"Are you trying to keep your distance from Lyon, making sure he doesn't get near you?"
"..."
"What's that thing you're holding? Is it some kind of trump card the Anti-Kingdom Union gave you to deal with Lyon? Or is it an abnormal object with tracking abilities, capable of alerting you when Lyon gets close?"
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
"If you've already guessed, what's the point of me telling you?"
"Oliviah, whose side are you on now...?"
"I'm definitely on little Lyon's side~"
Taking back the Fuyan, the red-haired director smiled and looked into the deep green eyes of the Fuyan.
"He's the future of the Cleanup Bureau, and I even see him as the future of all humanity. Of course, I'm on his side. But right now..."
As she spoke, the Fuyan's eyes opened wide, reflecting the red-haired director's figure in its countless tiny eyes.
Here it comes!
'Human', 'Female', 'Short-lived Species'...
'Cunning and Suspicious', 'Hates Killing', 'Insomnia and Alcoholism', 'Tormented by Guilt', 'Desires to Make Amends', 'Wants to Revive Those Killed', 'Fears Being Hated by Lyon'
'Puzzled', 'Enlightenment', 'Shocked by Fuyan's Mind-Reading Ability', 'Worried About Thoughts Being Seen', 'Hesitant to Take Action Against an Old Friend'
'Hesitated for a Moment, Then Gave Up', 'Struggling to Not Think About Things Others Shouldn't Know', 'Realized It's Impossible', 'Decided to Take Action', 'Wants to Make the Old Friend Amnesiac'
"Wait! Don't do it!"
"I just couldn't figure out what you were planning, so I wanted to take the opportunity to see your intentions. I didn't mean to..."
"You and Lyon? What...?"
"Tsk..."
Snatching back the Fuyan, the red-haired director wiped away the tears with a disgusted look, then narrowed her eyes and asked:
"What did you just find out?"
"Huh? I saw you..."
"What did you see?"
"You and Lyon... Stop poking! If you poke my eye again, I..."
"I'm asking you one last time, what did you see just now?"
"I didn't see anything! I don't know anything! I promise to keep it to myself! That's enough! If you poke my eye again, I'll fight back for real!"
Hmph!
The Bai She hadn't lied. Even with a distance of at least ten kilometers, the moment she looked through the Fuyan, Lyon's position was instantly "marked" and became a small green figure in her field of view.
However, before the red-haired director could take a closer look, the small green figure hugged someone and whispered a few words in their ear. In an instant, it expanded a billion times, going from an insignificant dot to... everywhere.
