Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

"It has nothing to do with us." Tong Shan said solemnly, "The Evil Cult is a present world enemy, and everyone has the right to eliminate it."

"Really?"

Olivia chuckled, both of them with their hands behind their backs, stepping on air as they looked around the explosion site. She shook her head and sighed as if hinting at something, "I heard you and Mr. Ji are old friends? Even if you're acting, at least be serious and get someone else to do it."

"Whether we're friends or not is irrelevant to this matter." Tong Shan replied without any politeness, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't waste saliva and time."

"Who is wasting time?"

Olivia retorted, "It's been over half a year, and the Evil Cult's big hat keeps getting tossed around, dirty water splashed here and there, but where's the accuracy in all that? Who hasn't used it, you haven't used it? I haven't used it? Everyone has used it, who doesn't know what's going on? Enough is enough."

"I've never used it, not even once."

Tong Shan answered, without hesitation, "Also, Ji Jue didn't talk nonsense, I trust him."

"..."

Olivia was silent, stunned, unable to believe that such forthright protection and cronyism would appear on Tong Shan. It was unbelievable and incomprehensible.

Suddenly, she realized that she had no grounds to question.

If character actually exists in this shitty place called Central Earth, then undoubtedly, Tong Shan's behavior in the past half year is a golden brand!

Steady in action, comprehensive in work.

No money-making, no trouble-making, no power-grabbing, no profit-seeking, and absolutely no backstabbing colleagues, absolutely no sacrificing subordinates! The scars accumulated under that shirt during this time are the ultimate proof!

"Alright then, if it is the Evil Cult, let me ask — why hasn't the Evil Cult attacked you, attacked me, but specifically targeted him?"

Olivia sneered, "It's not because he's good-looking and they want him on the clock, is it?"

"Because of a blood feud."

Tong Shan looked sideways, as if staring at an idiot, "Previously, the Spring City incident, don't tell me you Emperor folks have no report or archives.

In that war with the Evil Cult, Ji Jue was the primary contributor!

Although detailed information wasn't released, in reality, during that event, without him, who knows how many people in the Security Bureau would have died.

He didn't hesitate to disfigure himself, disguising to sacrifice himself, infiltrating Jian Yuan's workshop, rescuing another colleague from the Security Bureau, and even while trapped, coordinated with the Artisan Association to eventually dismantle the secret ritual in Spring City.

And before that, when the Evil Cult's Time Ruins bomb intended to pollute Cliff City, he was also the one who stepped up to solve it! And frankly, the attacks your Security Bureau has done against the Evil Cult over this long period, combined, don't even compare to what Ji Jue has done alone!"

Tong Shan questioned, "If you were the Evil Cult, wouldn't you hate him to the core?"

"..."

For the second time, Olivia had no answer.

And not only her.

For everyone aware of the details, there's no doubting the hatred between Ji Jue and the Evil Cult, an utterly irreconcilable one.

Once the Security Bureau showed Ji Jue's resume, no one ever mentioned that suspicion again — it was truly possible for Ji Jue to be hated and targeted for assassination by the Evil Cult!

"But there has to be a real Evil Cult, right?"

Olivia, annoyed, scratched her head, not due to lost face but because, if that's true... damn it, more work ahead, and I haven't even started on the duck I just ordered!

It's getting more troublesome!

Might end up being another big clean-up...

But is there truly an Evil Cult?

The answer is yes.

Damn right there is!

And Ji Jue wants there to be, there can be!

In less than three minutes, bits of ceramic shards were found from the site ruins.

With rare cooperation between the Federation and the Empire, under full efforts from the Security Bureau and the Security Bureau, the entire scene was restored, traced back, and re-enacted.

All clues emerged before everyone's eyes.

Naturally, people from the Ether series analysis and trace it back — concluding, no matter who it was, the mastermind behind had done cautionary measures, tracing only back to the point of product completion, the transport process and details were all disrupted, unclear.

Sure enough, it was just rumors and speculations!

Olivia let out a cold laugh, not having time to speak before sensing the secretive look from a subordinate.

She found an excuse to pull away temporarily and heard the on-site analysis report.

Her expression gradually darkened.

"Can you be sure?"

Tong Shan slowly furrowed his brow, looking at his subordinate, whose smile was bitter: "I wish we couldn't be sure, but... it really could be..."

From the debris on-site, after using a construct from the Gate of Eternity for reversal, a trace of spiritual essence so weak it was almost non-existent was found.

Its source was an extremely hidden curse!

This curse wasn't even fully constructed, yet hidden so deep that even with a magnifying glass it was barely visible, at best just spiritual essence of a unique transformation — mainly used for positioning and as a medium for casting curses, if contaminated carelessly, one would be marked by the caster.

When necessary, when Ji Jue is off guard, it could even be used as a medium to directly, through interfering with destiny, make him die reasonably!

One thought of hatred, one mind of poison, once tainted, it becomes eternal, till death without rest!

Even in death, there will be no rest!

And the source of this curse, a Holy Master worshipped by the Evil Cult, was one of the affiliates of the Great Evil Insulation...

—— The Revolving Wheel Saint King!

At the moment of confirmation, Tong Shan and Olivia exchanged a glance.

Tong Shan remained expressionless, Olivia, had already opened the third pack of cigarettes for the day...

What is there that can't be confirmed at this point?

Let's put it this way, all this time in Central Earth, the Security Bureau and the Security Bureau have captured so many subordinates and peripheries of the Evil Cult, yet the blood lineage combined doesn't match the purity of this bomb!

What else can they say?

When the report was submitted to the superiors of both sides, then delivered to the chief officers of the military bases of both sides, not half an hour later, before dawn, it had spread throughout Tower City.

Clearly just a simple report, yet it felt like throwing a shovelful of dirt onto countless people's coffin boards!

As darkness crept in eyes and ringing echoed in ears, it felt as if they could hear Ji Jue, that bastard, softly whispering by the ear:

The time has come to see the ingredients, everyone!

Are you ready?

The grand investigation is about to begin!
