Chapter 224: 140, Dusk Front, Irenado_4
Tang Wanqiu said, “In their eyes, you are also just a potential recruit for the Autonomy Faction. Whether that’s actually the case, they’re not sure.”
She frowned and said, “These madmen are now completely extreme. Anyone who could potentially help the Intelligent Star Group, innocent or not, is to be eliminated first and foremost.”
“Why has it suddenly come to this?” Lin Qing wondered.
“Because the situation is different now.”
Tang Wanqiu said, “Currently, various extraterrestrial civilizations have agreed not to send people to Earth anymore. The Intelligent Star Group isn’t as dominant as before. Amidst the multi-faction resistance, they naturally want to weaken the Intelligent Star Group as much as possible to avoid them obtaining too many treasures at the year-end contest.”
She sighed, “If they weren’t afraid to enter the urban circle, I’m afraid they would have already charged into the urban circle to kill those geniuses cultivated by the Intelligent Star Group, especially those few with rare divine positions. They would have killed them all if they could.”
“If they really could do that, it would be nice.”
Lin Qing laughed, “But if they can’t, killing others who might become threats, innocent or not, is quite in keeping with their style.”
People from the Original Research Institute used to establish underground forces everywhere, forcibly capturing people and conducting human experiments.
They were utterly unrestrained.
“This time it’s actually nothing compared to before.”
Tang Wanqiu commented, “Over a decade ago, at the height of the Original Research Institute’s madness, they even tried to turn the surface of the Earth into a dead star, planning to destroy all of humanity.”
“Destroy all of humanity?” Lin Qing was stunned.
Tang Wanqiu said, “They wanted to completely ruin Earth’s evolutionary environment, reducing the number of divine positions to the extreme, because they thought that way, once the Intelligent Star People had taken all the treasures, they would lose interest in the Earth.”
She mocked with a smile, “Even if the cost was the burial of eight billion people, they wouldn’t care.”
Lin Qing shook his head slightly.
The Original Research Institute was indeed filled with lunatics.
“But in fact, it’s impossible.”
Tang Wanqiu said, “There are so many strong people in the urban circle, not to mention that the big mushroom had no chance to explode. Even if it did explode in the urban circle, only those at the very bottom who had no time to seek shelter would die, not harming the foundation of the Intelligent Star Group at all.”
Lin Qing also understood this point.
Even with his current level of strength, as long as his domain was deployed, he wouldn’t be affected by a nuclear explosion if he was far enough away, not to mention that he could also avoid it in advance.
“The Original Research Institute might come after you to prevent you from obtaining a divine position; I will try to protect you in secret before that happens,” Tang Wanqiu said.
“Then I will be troubling the Director.” Lin Qing did not decline.
His current strength was still a bit inferior to that of an Inspector. Naturally, he couldn’t ask for a better bodyguard.
The following days were still calm.
Lin Qing didn’t know if the Original Research Institute hadn’t planned to act against him yet, or if they had already tried but were dealt with by Tang Wanqiu in secret.
In any case, Lin Qing continued his tranquil cultivation.
At eleven o’clock at night.
“Lin Qing, get ready to start.”
Zhao Jiayi’s telekinesis transmission said, “According to local time, it will be effective to recite between 11:05 PM and 11:15 PM. During this period, it only needs to be recited aloud for the first time. The main point is that the telekinesis wave matches the sound wave; if there’s a mistake, start over.”
Lin Qing’s heart stirred, but he didn’t ask any further and replied telepathically, “Okay, I’m ready.”
As the time arrived, Lin Qing immediately began to slowly recite, according to the spell-like unique syllables, matching the sound wave with his telekinesis wave.
Since his telekinesis type was a Telekinesis Body, he could control it very precisely, succeeding perfectly on his first try.
After the recitation, nothing special happened.
Lin Qing couldn’t help but be puzzled.
After waiting for several seconds and just as he was about to try again—
A gentle and affable female voice whispered out, alongside an invisible wave that suddenly swept through.
“Let’s welcome the paradise of dusk together…”
In the next moment, Lin Qing felt the invisible wave drawing in his telekinesis. A stream of telekinesis extended, and part of his consciousness quietly sank into it.
A colossal spaceship, shaped like a meteorite, drifted slowly above the clouds, and a giant Z symbol could be seen on its side.
Inside a room within the spaceship, a blurry figure began to form, manifesting into a young man.
“Is this… virtual space?”
Lin Qing opened his eyes, incredulously observing his surroundings, immediately understanding that part of his consciousness had entered the virtual space.
This felt the same as his consciousness entering the Chuanxing Tower space; he could naturally distinguish it.
“So this is the method to enter virtual space?”
Lin Qing turned his head slightly and looked toward the large floor-to-ceiling windows that almost covered the entire wall.
Outside the window, it was dusk.
The setting sun slowly descended on the horizon, casting its golden light across the clouds without a ripple. Distant mountains loomed vast, weary birds returned to nest, serene yet melancholy.
At that moment, a gentle and affable female voice sounded behind him.
Lin Qing turned his head to look.
He saw a white woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a nun’s attire, with long brown hair and a tall figure, standing in the room. Her eyes, as blue as the deep sea, quietly watched him with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.
“A newcomer?” Lin Qing said, “You are…”
