Twisted Dreams-Chapter 322 - 391: Meeting
Imperial Capital, Security Administration, Security Meeting.
Elder He sat in the main chair and said to the secretary on the podium:
"Xiaozhuang, you can start now."
The secretary nodded and turned on the large screen.
It showed scenes of East Sakura establishing the Great Evil Demon King Shrine.
Elder He said:
"I have studied the legends of East Sakura, and none mention the Great Evil Demon King.
East Sakura suddenly undertakes massive construction to build the Great Evil Demon King Shrine, which is unreasonable."
The administrators of the Security Administration all revealed grave expressions.
A speculation formed in their minds.
Could it be that East Sakura is also experiencing abnormal events?
Is the Great Evil Demon King the key to breaking this?
Secretary Zhuang said:
"According to the investigation, abnormal things are currently appearing in Huaqi as well.
A group named ’Seven Commandments’ is prevalent in Huaqi.
The deity worshiped by ’Seven Commandments’ is the Death God."
An administrator spoke:
"You mean the Seven Commandments Association is also related to the Spiritual Energy Revival?
Huaqi has many ’gods’; we cannot determine that the Seven Commandments Association is a product of Spiritual Energy Revival just because they worship the Death God."
Secretary Zhuang frowned and said:
"Have you forgotten about the ancient tomb ruins?"
There are mysterious images in the ancient tomb ruins.
From the images, the Security Administration learned that in ancient times, there was an organization called Hell.
It’s uncertain whether ’Hell’ is the legendary hell or an organization formed by Extraordinary.
The administrator murmured:
"Hell... Death God... Could there really be a connection?"
Originally dozing off, Zhang Xiaoyi suddenly became alert upon hearing the words ’Seven Commandments.’
Zhang Xiaoyi asked with narrowed eyes:
"Are you sure it’s ’Seven Commandments’?
Could there be a transliteration mistake?"
Elder He looked at Zhang Xiaoyi:
"Does Daoist Zhang know the Seven Commandments Association?"
Zhang Xiaoyi nodded and spoke startlingly:
"I’ve fought the Sect Leader of the Seven Commandments Association.
He wore a red robe and could command the undead; he was very strong.
He was masked, so it’s not certain if he was from Xia Country.
However, his Mandarin was very good."
Everyone gasped.
Zhang Xiaoyi is the strongest Extraordinary human in Xia Country.
If Zhang Xiaoyi admits the strength of the Sect Leader of the Seven Commandments Association, then he must be strong.
Elder He pondered for a while and said:
"It seems that abnormal events are occurring in many parts of the world.
Thankfully, Heaven blesses Xia Country, we haven’t messed up here."
The chaos caused by Spiritual Energy Revival is making many nations anxious.
This is more terrifying than a plague.
A plague has a day when it ends, but Spiritual Energy Revival does not.
Everyone is worried, and there is no good way to tackle the Spiritual Energy Revival, causing security turmoil.
What if a legendary monster suddenly revives and steps out of mythology? That would be truly worrisome.
After being silent for a long time, Zheng Qian coughed.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Due to a previous misjudgment of the forum’s strength, the Security Administration suffered significant losses.
The higher-ups have already punished him, so Zheng Qian has been more restrained recently and rarely speaks.
Now, he clearly had something to say.
Elder He smiled and said:
"Old Zheng, what do you want to say?"
Zheng Qian sighed:
"I originally didn’t want to participate too much in decision-making, but since the Director asked, I’ll say a few words."
Everyone felt disdain or secretly laughed.
Clearly, you want to say something.
Zheng Qian cleared his throat and said:
"Currently, the situation with Spiritual Energy Revival is very tense; we truly have too few experts in the Security Administration.
Cao Yi is in the South Sea.
Daoist Zhang is near the South Sea on Shu Mountain.
Xie Qilin’s tasks are too heavy; he’s almost always on the road chasing criminals every day.
The Imperial Capital is too empty without a decent strong figure to guard it."
Elder He’s eyes flickered mysteriously, asking:
"What’s your suggestion, then?"
Zheng Qian loudly declared:
"Wei Ming should be transferred back to the Imperial Capital."
Everyone was doubtful, casting puzzled glances at Zheng Qian.
It was Zheng Qian who had made things difficult for Wei Ming and sent him away from the Imperial Capital.
And now he wants Wei Ming transferred back?
Zheng Qian explained:
"Firstly, I know the South Sea is important, but Cao Yi and Daoist Zhang are already there.
Wei Ming is indeed overqualified for the South Sea Safety Management Station.
Moreover, Wei Ming’s recent performance has been outstanding, capturing many runaway criminals.
From any perspective, Wei Ming should return to the Imperial Capital and be reinstated."
Everyone secretly nodded.
The words were indeed reasonable.
Everyone has witnessed Wei Ming’s recent achievements, and reasonably, he should be transferred back to the Imperial Capital and regain his position as a Senior Administrator.
Zheng Qian looked to Elder He:
"Director, what do you think?"
Elder He watched Zheng Qian attentively.
This person seemed off, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly where.
After a long while, Elder He slowly spoke:
"Let’s discuss this matter later. I’ll consider it."
Zheng Qian smiled:
"Director He, I indeed disagreed with Wei Ming over the affairs involving the Demon Race.
Now, I’ve come to understand that as long as it benefits security, it should be actively accepted and considered.
Wei Ming’s achievements are certainly sufficient. I hope you can bring him back." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Elder He took a sip of tea and said:
"Comrade Wei Ming still has some unresolved matters under investigation; I’ll arrange it as soon as possible."
....
After the meeting, Zheng Qian drove back to his home.
In the corridor, he saw Xie Qilin waiting there.
Zheng Qian frowned:
"How did you find my home?"
Xie Qilin smiled:
"Uncle Zheng, our families have long-standing ties. How could a nephew not know where his uncle lives?"
Zheng Qian’s gaze turned cold. He approached Xie Qilin and slapped him:
"Didn’t I say, for a while, don’t see me alone!
Don’t think that because you helped me, I’ll treat you kindly.
Remember, ever since you put on the safety collar, you and the whole Xie Family are my dogs!"
Xie Qilin rubbed his reddened cheek and laughed:
"Uncle’s hand is really strong. I understand and won’t come again."
Zheng Qian was somewhat satisfied, snorting coldly from his nose.
After all, a dog should be disciplined from time to time.
Otherwise, how would it obey?
Xie Qilin asked:
"I didn’t participate in today’s meeting; I want to ask Uncle what the result was."
Zheng Qian stated:
"Following your suggestion, I’ve already proposed reinstating Wei Ming."
Xie Qilin nodded:
"That’s good."
Zheng Qian thought for a moment and asked:
"Are you sure we can use Wei Ming to get me appointed as Director of the Security Administration?"
Xie Qilin earnestly nodded:
"Definitely, everything is within my plan."
Zheng Qian was puzzled and asked:
"Wei Ming indeed has a lot of merits recently, but I can’t understand how he can be useful?"
Xie Qilin’s gaze turned deep:
"Wei Ming is like a balloon now.
He appears large, round, and appealing.
Actually, the balloon contains filthy water.
Once someone notices him, this dirty balloon will burst.
I need him to explode; it’s crucial to our plan."
