The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 795 - 381: Mother-in-law’s Hesitation, Secret Infiltration_3

Gu Jianlin was slightly taken aback. The mysterious coordinates might be right in the Shinjuku Imperial Garden!

But they could no longer stay here.

Jiang Chunyang had clearly expressed his intention to see them off.

Trying to do anything more would certainly arouse his suspicion.

After a long silence.

"I understand. If you’re not feeling well, it’s best to leave first."

He looked around, eyes deep: "Today’s objective has also been achieved."

The evening wind brushed against the cherry blossoms in full bloom, petals cascading down to the lakeside. The silhouettes of the young man and woman gradually disappeared into the shaded paths, as if swallowed by darkness, never to be heard from again.

In the silent shrine, talisman papers fluttered, countless wind chimes swayed in the breeze, as if bidding them farewell.

In the virtual network’s meeting room, the young man and woman under the camera drove away from Shinjuku Imperial Garden.

No.1 breathed a sigh of relief: "Mission accomplished."

"It seems No.4 was right. This guy really likes to stray outside the plan. He’s naturally suited to the Dark World, completing tasks in the toughest and most direct way. He has fathomed the survival rules here. In the Dark World, you cannot show weakness. If you do, someone will eat you alive."

No.3 said in a low, haunting voice: "Just like a god cannot bleed, or they will be devoured by millions of believers."

After a long silence, No.4 whispered: "It appears the President sent him to us hoping he would become a variable, right? Every Shadow has their own way of doing things. As long as the task is completed, that’s all that matters. With his capability, we should be cooperating with him, not the other way around."

The Shadows’ plan was to leverage his spirit immunity to successfully pass the awakening bell’s test.

Thus earning the Jiang Family’s trust.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jianlin offered a solution in his own way.

In this world, trust is unnecessary; only interests matter.

After a moment.

No.5’s voice rang out: "Later, I will compile the intelligence gathered this time and upload it for analysis. We need to know what’s inside that mysterious tomb, including any anomalies surrounding the corpse of the Red King. These are two crucial variables. If there is any discrepancy, the conclusions drawn will be vastly different."

The intelligence today was a great shock to every Shadow.

Their hearts were uneasy.

"In any case, the mission is over, and we acknowledge his capability."

Just as the Shadows were about to relax, No.1 suddenly said.

"Wait."

No.1’s voice trembled slightly: "The Qilin’s Shadow is missing!"

Gu Jianlin mastering the Qilin Forbidden Curse was no secret to them.

Using a clone to relay messages was also something they hadn’t anticipated.

Yet, under the surveillance camera, that ghostly Shadow mysteriously vanished from its place.

"Since the mission is over, retracting the Shadow is a normal thing, right?"

"Even so, I have a bad feeling."

"When Qilin left in the car, he took one last look into the depths of Shinjuku Imperial Garden."

"Is there a possibility he’s planning something big?"

"No need to guess, Qilin already sent a message asking us to assist with his next action."

The tranquil old mansion, like a tide of cherry blossoms shielding the lake.

By the lake, someone raised their eyes, gazing at the silent shrine.

That was the Shadow of Gu Jianlin.

His physical form had long since left, but before leaving, he retracted the Shadow, leaving it there.

The Shadow’s wrist was entwined with the silver-white Lock of Nonexistence, gliding like a ghost through the shaded paths, silently entering the silent shrine. Countless fluttering talisman papers and wind chimes, as though welcoming its arrival.
