Li Shouyi’s private plane hovered in the airspace of Liangzhou.
Rounds and rounds.
In the end, the person underground still did not dare to make a move.
He sighed, “The bait is always salty. In the end, you won’t catch any fish!”
Liangzhou had been a border since ancient times.
After the Federal Empire was established, it became an inner state.
Following the recovery of the spirit aura, a large number of transcendent being families that were defeated in the central federal government’s battle migrated here.
As a result, Liangzhou slowly became a ‘Fanzhen Sprout’ in the eyes of the Blackguard.
The Liangzhou transcendent world was filled with talents.
In the current Liangzhou, there was a saying that there were five tigers and ten dragons.
The five Tigers represented the five reclusive admiral.
The ten Dragons were ten active generals on the front lines.
The radicals in the Blackguard had been looking for excuses to destroy or break up the transcendent being families in Liangzhou.
Li Shouyi had naturally thought of such a thing.
However, he was the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard. He had to do things according to the law.
His experience of growing up told him that killing people was a very simple matter, but convincing the masses was the most difficult thing.
It took the Blackguard 200 years to convince the people of the world.
They relied on law enforcement, fairness and justice.
Therefore, it was fine to fish for law enforcement.
But if the fish did not bite the hook, they could not enforce the law.
That was groundless.
It was insufficient to convince the world!
“Commander-in-chief…” An old man who had been sitting opposite Li Shouyi chuckled. “You’ve been hovering here for two days…”
“If they had the guts, they would have made a move when you arrived!”
“Hehe!” Li Shouyi laughed. “Eunuch Wei, you don’t know about this!”
“Transcendents are generally people who are too arrogant!”
“Ambitious people!”
“And even more suspicious and cunning people!”
This was the characteristic of almost all transcendents.
Even the Blackguard was no exception.
Possessing transcendent being’s strength was in itself staring into the abyss because that strength wasn’t as simple as strength.
When a person discovered that he already had the strength to rival ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand, or even a million people.
He would inevitably be bewitched by this strength.
He thought that he was omnipotent, that he surpassed everything.
Thus, pride, arrogance…
All sorts of emotions came one by one.
After a long time, this person would become violent, manic, and cruel.
He would treat human lives like grass and use the world as a chessboard.
In the end, he would become a madman.
He would think that he was no longer a madman.
He was extremely dangerous, and extremely perverted!
This was why the high-ranking generals of the Blackguard were all people who placed the world and the world in the most important position.
This was because before these people became generals, they had already been selected countless times.
The internal system and rules of the Blackguard, all sorts of restrictions and restrictions.
Those who could not adapt would be asked to leave on their own, or be eliminated in the process.
What was left were the talents that the blackguard needed.
Those were the strong, trustworthy people!
Then, they would gather the power of the world and arm these people.
They would be able to outnumber them.
With more than twenty active-duty generals, they would be able to control the entire federal empire’s transcendent being world.
This was the reason why soldiers were valued highly.
When the old man heard Li Shouyi’s words, he smiled. He held a wine glass and said, “I understand what you mean!”
“You are testing!”
“A test based on obedience!”
“Just like how a person trains a dog!”
“Only those who are obedient can stay!”
Li Shouyi shook his head. “Eunuch Wei, you’re Wrong!”
“In our eyes, the relationship between the Blackguard and the transcendent being is not as dirty as you think!”
“They are not my enemies…”
“If that’s the case, it’s impossible for the Blackguard to stay!”
With a laugh, he said, “Just take the Federal Empire’s metropolitan territory as an example!”
“There’re millions of extraordinaires and foreign species…”
“If we are hostile to these people, these people will definitely be hostile to us!”
“Then… the world will be hard to deal with!”
How many people did the blackguard have?
Including the students from the various extraordinaires universities, could there be 50,000?
Among the billions of people in the metropolitan territory, there were mixed with nearly eight million extraordinaires and foreign species.
These people had all sorts of strange magic art and talent.
Some people could even perfectly hide themselves in the crowd.
If it was a severe punishment, it would be ‘the people are not afraid of death, so why should they fear death’.
When the old man heard this, he asked curiously, “Then what is the relationship between the Blackguard and the transcendent being?”
Li Shouyi laughed, thought for a moment and explained, “Eunuch Wei, let me tell you this! !”
“We understand the transcendent being as the intelligent people among the commoners!”
“They are those people with extraordinary talent, perseverance, wisdom, and talent that ordinary people can achieve!”
“They will invent and create, operate capital, and start businesses to make money…”
“Are these people the enemy?” asked Li Shouyi.
The old man shook his head.
“Then, if some of these people are not satisfied with the income from legitimate businesses, and start to evade taxes, manipulate the market, and produce fake and inferior products…”
“Can we treat other similar people as enemies because of these people?”
The old man still shook his head.
Li Shouyi smiled. “That’s right!”
“You understand the blackguard as the Securities and Banking Regulatory Commission, and the transcendents as the securities companies, investors, and capitalists!”
“Then you will know our policies!”
“We supervise, we guide, and we control!”
“We levy the transcendent being tax on those transcendent families who occupy blessed lands and spiritual veins. We require them to pay blessed lands and spiritual veins to the central federal government. They are not allowed to refuse the application of their descendants for the Blackguard examination..
“Then, we use the resources they pay to forge various transcendent weapons and vestment. We provide the members of the Blackguard with the resources and environment for their cultivation and breakthrough, so that the Blackguard will have more strength and manpower to protect the civilians
“This is actually the country levying a high amount of taxes on the high-income groups. This portion of taxes will be used for the infrastructure, the welfare of the low-income groups, and the re-employment training for the unemployed!”
When the old man heard this, he was stunned. “That’s it?”
Li Shouyi smiled. “That’s it!”
“This is very useful!”
“You see, under our control over the past few years, the transcendent being world and the secular world generally coexist harmoniously..
“They complement each other even more
“As long as the transcendents are willing to come out and do things, we welcome them
“We even provide all sorts of policy support and assistance to help them achieve success
“Well, if they are willing to come out, they will be able to promote employment and improve the economy
“They will be able to promote social development and the advancement of Science and Technology
“Don’t you have several Grand Scholars in Your Academy of Science who have assumed the names of generals?”
“Do you think that we have ever restricted them?”
“It’s too late to welcome them!”
The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment, for it seemed to be the case.
But..
“Then what is your purpose of hovering here now?”
Li Shouyi looked at the vast land below him and said, “Two reasons…”
“First, I still can’t trust my selfishness…”
This was the truth.
Liangzhou had always been at odds with the central federal government.
It had been like this since before the recovery of the spirit aura.
In the era of Taizu and Taizong, a large number of bureaucrats and nobles who had failed in the struggle came to Liangzhou with their families.
Having established the social atmosphere in Liangzhou, they were united, conservative, and stubborn.
They were born to doubt everything and question everything.
They were especially wary of the central federal government.
Liang Zhou had always been the best in the country for people suffering from persecution and paranoia.
It was even more so after the recovery of spirit aura.
Those who did not like the blackguard flocked to Liang Zhou.
The Remote Liang Zhou also provided them with enough space.
To the Blackguard, the transcendent being of Liang Zhou was basically someone who rebelled at the back of their head.
“This second point…” Li Shouyi uttered with a smile, “I actually did it on purpose…”
“Intentionally circling around here so that the enemies of the imperial capital would have the guts to make a move!”
If he were in the imperial capital, those people wouldn’t dare to act rashly even if they had a hundred guts.
Thus, he was actually putting on an act on Liangzhou’s side.
At the same time, he was killing two birds with one stone.
It was to intimidate Liangzhou so that the transcendent being here would be more obedient.
It was also to make the people in the imperial capital dare to make a move!
The old man shook his head when he heard this. “Aren’t you taking a bit of a risk by doing this?”
Li Shouyi laughed. “To tell you the truth…”
“I’m actually not taking any risks!”
“Don’t look at me sitting here right now!”
“But how do you know that I’m the one sitting here?”
“Can’t it be a strand of my hair or a puppet?”
The old man raised his head, his eyes full of surprise. “Are you already so powerful?”
He looked at the transcendent being in his hand.
The instrument showed that the psionic power of the person opposite him had indeed reached an immeasurable level!
Li Shouyi chuckled. “The world of the transcendent being is always full of miracles!”
Of course, he was here with his real body, or else those guys would not have been fooled!
However, in the imperial capital, he had set up countless secret and backup plans for decades.
Now, he had broken through the shackles.
He could cooperate with his secret plans in the imperial capital anytime, anywhere.
In the blink of an eye, his primordial spirit returned to the imperial capital.
He could even slaughter everyone!
Moreover, he wasn’t the only one in the imperial capital.
Zhang Hui and Song Shihui could take care of everything on their own.
There was also Saint Emperor Guan holding the fort.
He also had the emperor’s nine cauldrons as his final trump card.
At the moment, the arrangements and plans this time seemed to be walking on a tightrope.
In reality, all risks had long been eliminated.
Unless that person was suddenly persuaded by someone.
Otherwise, the imperial city would be absolutely safe.
Currently, the facts had already proved that that person was on the side of the Blackguard.
Of course, these matters didn’t need to be explained to eunuch Wei.
He was a scientist, so he only needed to know a little.
Just then, a screen on the plane lit up.
Zhang Hui appeared among them.
“Commander-in-chief!” Zhang Hui first saluted.
Then, he bowed to the old man sitting at the side. “Eunuch Wei is here too?”
The old man chuckled. “Commander-in-chief invited me to inspect Kunlun Mountain.”
“This is a major event that concerns the world!”
In Kunlun Mountain, there were new changes every day.
Transcendent glaciers and grasslands kept appearing.
More importantly, with the transcendent being of the Kunlun Mountains, a round of mountain-building in the transcendent world was going on intensely and slowly!
The main peak of the Kunlun Mountains could increase its altitude by 100 meters a day, which was like the mass and diameter of the earth.
For a scientist, although this kind of thing was mysterious and hard to explain.
It was full of attraction.
The unknown was the greatest reward and punishment for a scientist.
Every time they saw something that couldn’t be explained, they would be excited, then frustrated, and then they would devote their entire heart and soul into it.
Solving the unknown was the greatest reward for them!
Especially now that they had the assistance of the spirit language.
The top scientists of the federal empire suddenly discovered that many things that they couldn’t understand before seemed to have an inkling now.
With the help of the ‘Spirit Language’, many people’s research managed to make significant progress!
There were even many practical research results that appeared.
For example, the transcendent being solar power generator that was currently under construction.
It was producing electricity while providing an endless stream of psionic power.
That was undeniably exciting news for the scientists and the blackguard.
Meanwhile, the cabinet of the federal empire was grinning from ear to ear.
The first phase of the project had only been allocated a few hundred million.
Now, with a wave of the cabinet’s hand, it had allocated tens of billions.
The Chairman of the Cabinet Budget Committee was even more generous: if it was not enough, there was still more! As many as needed!
And the ‘experiment on transcendent being of psionic power and human organs’, which was conducted by another medical expert, had also achieved a breakthrough.
In the laboratory, they had successfully used psionic power to reconstruct the heart function of a patient with congenital heart disease.
At present, the experiment was successful.
The patient’s heart defect began to be repaired.
This meant that he would live, work, and even have children like a normal person!
And these were things that people thought were ‘impossible’ in the past because transcendent being was metaphysics.
Metaphysics was irregular and unexplainable.
And now, with the help of the spirit language, top grand scholars discovered countless details that were previously ignored or unobservable.
A bridge was slowly being built between science and metaphysics.
And these were all things that had appeared within a few months and had produced results.
So, even though Eunuch Wei had witnessed those things that could not be explained and understood in the Kunlun Mountains.
But there was no worry on his face, and he was even a little excited.
Because he knew that these things were not explained now, but he might be able to find the answer in the future.
Conquering this unknown mystery.
Zhang Hui stood up and looked at Li Shouyi before saying, “Commander-in-chief… There’s something that I need to report to you…”
Eunuch Wei chuckled when he heard this. “I’m going to the toilet!”
Li Shouyi nodded and watched the old man’s figure disappear into the cabin before asking Zhang Hui, “Is there a new situation with that person?”
Zhang Hui nodded and briefly reported the discovery of ‘The other Ling Pingan’in the convention center and the related progress.
Li Shouyi listened and kept a smile because it was a good thing.
The blackguard was not afraid of the mysterious bookstore owner who liked to be beautiful.
He was just afraid that he did not.
That was the worst thing.
Because, in that case, the relationship between the two sides would always be unequal.
And it would be extremely unequal!
Now it was good!
Did he not like beauties?!
This was too great!
The beauty trap had always been the favorite of all people or forces since ancient times.
Because, in this kind of matter, the investment was small but the profit was great!
There was almost nothing more worthwhile than the beauty trap.
During the spring and Autumn period, the state of Yue used one xixi to exchange for the great cause of revival and revenge.
Among the Three Kingdoms, Wang Yun used a Diao Chan to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
But…
This matter made Li Shouyi feel somewhat incredulous.
Because, that person’s status, in theory, could not have such a flaw.
An ancient existence that had slept for countless years, why would it care about the so-called beauty of the human world?
Humans would fall in love with a beauty that was cultivated from a fox, but they would never fall in love with a fox that was locked in a cage or running wildly in the mountains.
Although Li Shouyi only had doubts in his heart, he did not say it out loud.
Because things had already happened.
What he needed to do was to accept it, not question it.
After listening to Zhang Hui’s report, he continued, “Commander-in-chief, there’s something that I don’t know if I should interfere with…”
“Hmm?”Li Shouyi asked, “What is it?”
“After last night, a large number of extraordinaires and members of the royal family from various countries enter the country…”
“There were also many unfamiliar spies in the villa…”
“And…”
Zhang Hui continued, “I also discovered that someone took advantage of the chaos last night to disguise as a staff member of the villa and infiltrated the nearby floor…”
“It’s very likely that they will get close to that person!”
“Should I expel them?”
Upon hearing that, Li Shouyi fell into deep thought.
Such a thing should not have been considered. He could just directly expel them.
But…
Someone had infiltrated the nearby floor.
With that person’s status and power, how could he not know?
So…
His decision now would be very crucial.
The Blackguard was also caught in a dilemma.
Since the Blackguard knew that he knew, would the act of expulsion or arrest anger him?
Would he doubt the sincerity of the Blackguard and the Federal Empire?
“Since you knew that I knew, and did such a thing without my permission, did you not put me in your eyes? But.. If you leave me alone, the problem is just as big. Is this how you treat your guests?”
This is also the biggest obstacle and problem that the Blackguard has encountered since he came into contact with him.
He had been proven to be omniscient and omnipotent.
Therefore, he was equivalent to the Taoist ancestor and Buddha who had complete freedom.
Logically speaking, if he was willing to give face, the Blackguard and the Federal Empire would already be thankful.
Thus, how to guess his intentions became the biggest problem.
Even the Blackguard had flipped through the notes of the favored ministers of the Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong era.
They had found many ways, but the problem was still serious.
Since ancient times, accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger.
No matter how powerful the favored ministers of ancient times were, they could not curry favor with the monarch at any time and place.
The ministers who tried to figure it out again might also curry favor with the horse.
Just like the situation now.
The problem the Blackguard encountered was that they did not know his attitude.
Moreover…
The Blackguard had no choice, and it was impossible for them to ask him directly.
According to the analysis of the think tanks, this ancient god who played the human world and wore white seemed to enjoy a similar game.
In his eyes, the blackguard trying to figure out his thoughts was a part of the game.
Just like those kings, they would never let their ministers know his true thoughts.
They liked to let people guess.
If they guessed correctly, they would be rewarded.
If they guessed wrongly, they would be spanked!
They were not tired of it. They wanted to use it to prove their power and satisfy their desires.
That person was almost the same.
Li Shouyi frowned, his mind spinning.
After thinking for a while, he finally said, “Let’s wait and see… Don’t be in a hurry to move!”
Before he could be sure of his attitude.
Any rash action could cause his anger.
The dissatisfaction of an existence at this level was very delicate.
It would not even be shown directly.
After all, even the bosses of small private companies already knew the importance of not showing one’s emotions.
Not to mention such an existence that everything was under his control and surveillance?
Therefore, the Blackguard could only look for his true attitude through some clues.
Pay attention to any words he said in public.
Even one look, one expression.
Thinking of this, Li Shouyi said, “General Zhang, you have had close contact with him, and you have a special contract…”
“How about this, you also disguise yourself and enter his living area…”
“Not only monitor those people… but also pay attention to his intentions!”
Zhang Hui thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, commander-in-chief!”
Zhang Hui felt a little uncomfortable.
This was because this made him easily associate it with many of the things recorded in the notes that the concubines did in order to fight for favor.
But on second thought, Zhang Hui smiled.
“How are we concubines now?”
“We’re just a servant without any status…”
“No!”
“At least we’ve served him before…”
“When have we ever done anything for him?”
This was the crux of the problem.
It was also the reason why the Blackguard and the Federal Empire invited him to the imperial capital.
From the perspective of the Blackguard.
The reason why they had invited him was to tell him that they could still do something for him.
Just say the word.
But in the end…
He had to do it. He had to rely on his great power. He had also received his benefits and favors.
This was too embarrassing.
Therefore, from the perspective of the blackguard, they had to lower their stature and be more humble.
After all, if they took advantage of others, they would take advantage of others.
On the other hand, this stimulated the blackguard, making them work harder to prove their own HP.
…
It was already eight o’clock.
However, Ling Ping’an still hadn’t gone downstairs to eat.
He leaned against the window and looked out at the night sky and the waning lights.
“It smells so good!”
He looked at the hall opposite the Yan Tower, which was decorated with lanterns and streamers and was about to hold a concert.
In his eyes, he vaguely saw a large piece of meat, right there.
As long as it was dug out, it would be delicious without any seasoning.
Because the meat had already been ripe and processed.
As long as it was placed on the fire and casually roasted, it would be charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It would be extremely delicious!
The last time, he seemed to have eaten this kind of meat.
That taste..
Tsk…
It was really delicious!
It was smelly and fragrant!
His stomach was growling.
The tears at the corner of his mouth could not be held back any longer.
But..
He swallowed his saliva.
“I’m mad!”
“To think that I would have such absurd thoughts and Thoughts!”
“When have I ever eaten smelly and fragrant meat?”
“In my dreams!”
Therefore, he stood up and made a great decision, closing the window tightly.
“Don’t look at indecent things, don’t kiss indecent things!”
As a gentleman, he knew that he should restrain the desire in his heart.
The person who was controlled by desire was not a gentleman, or even a human, but a wild beast!
He did not want to be a wild beast!
However, there was a faint voice in his heart, as if saying.
What was wrong with being a wild beast?
There were no restrictions, and he was free and unrestrained.
He could eat whenever he wanted, and he could play whenever he wanted.
The sky was high and the sea was vast, and he could gallop freely!
The universe was vast, and there was nothing that could not be eaten.
The Sun could be eaten.
The moon could be eaten.
The black hole was even better!
Eating it with flesh and blood, the taste was superb, and those who had eaten it said that it was good!
“Crazy… I’m really crazy!” Ling Ping’an shook his head hard, throwing all these delusions out.
“Restrain yourself! Restrain yourself!” As he uttered that, he lowered his head and looked at an e-book that had just been downloaded on his phone.
This was the most famous psychological work of the federal empire, “Self and ID.”
The author was the founder of the Federal Empire’s Academy of Sciences and psychology decades ago.
Just like Grand Secretary Newton, as the ‘Phoenix Tree of the Federal Empire,’Grand Secretary Floyd was hired from the land of Qin with a high salary.
He was known as the ‘Grand Secretary Newton of the Psychology World’.
Therefore, he was eventually conferred the title of ‘Doctor Zi Guanglu’, posthumous ‘Ming Zheng’, and posthumous ‘Xiangshan Bo’, so he was also known as ‘Buddha Ming Zheng’ or ‘Buddha Xiangshan’.
He lowered his head and looked at the contents of the book.
Chapter One: Beyond the principle of pleasure.
He felt that he might be able to draw strength from this book to control the various illusions that appeared more and more frequently.
But what he didn’t know was that the moment he looked at the e-book, two pupils appeared in his eye sockets.
Both pupils were looking at the e-book.
But they saw two completely opposite contents.
One was what he could see now.
And the other…
Was filled with madness, strange words and terrifying symbols.
But somehow, the two also seemed to overlap.
Normality mixed with madness, madness mixed with horror.
