Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Life is fleeting, where does it lead? "Sister Lan!" Chang Ye said, "Listen to my heartfelt words." "Go ahead!" Chang Ye said, "I know my fate, it lies between October to December of this year! Even though you don’t want to accept it, I’m afraid you have no choice, right?" Blue Demon’s body trembled gently, but she didn’t speak. Chang Ye said, "Where do you think a person’s best fate should lie? On this small island? Amongst this sea and sky? Or should it be on a foreign battlefield?" Blue Demon’s eyes slowly closed, but her grip only tightened. "Let me die like a martyr, let my name also be recorded on the Qianlong’s wall of heroes!" Chang Ye said softly, "Whether or not this is my last mission, I have no regrets, truly." "Really?" Blue Demon’s gaze slowly opened, her eyes glistening. "Yes, in my childhood, born in an orphanage, I never thought this speck of dust, wandering in the world, would also shine brightly, entering Qianlong. I have a sister like you, a sister like Xinyue, and the ’Old Man,’ I can feel the warmth of home..." "You still have him!" Blue Demon added softly. "Yes, him too! You won’t laugh at me, but I left a letter for him. If I don’t choose to stop within three months, the letter will be sent to his phone." Blue Demon looked up at the sky outside, her chest gently rising and falling. "Sister Lan, you will give me this chance, won’t you?" Blue Demon raised her head for now, looking longingly at the person before her who was both a sister and comrade. Her heart was a tangled mess. Chang Ye’s destiny was already sealed: ultimately, the world cannot keep... A vibrant blossom either wilts beneath the autumn wind, or withers on the battlefield of blood and fire. Chang Ye chose the latter. As her best friend, as the person who understands Chang Ye the most, what can she do? Blue Demon’s hand slowly released, she slowly turned back, slowly walked toward the courtyard gate, slowly walked to the hovercar by the shore. The hovercar slowly lifted, in the air, seemingly at a loss. Finally, the hovercar broke through the sky, disappearing into the unseen. In the outskirts of Fengcheng city, by Tashan Lake, Lin Xiaosu strolled under the willow shade. Strolling by Tashan Lake has been part of his leisure routine lately. The affairs at the Detective Agency, handled by Miao Ruolan and Zhou Xi, were going well. Some ordinary little cases required Lin Xiaosu’s involvement, so he could relax, play at the Yishui waterfront, stroll by Tashan Lake, Ruolan even prepared a fishing kit for him, giving him a leisure activity, but Lin Xiaosu lost interest after trying it a few times. Fishing, indeed leisurely. Yet he didn’t have a leisurely mind. Taking a walk, pondering over some questions, watching flowers bloom and fade at Old Tashan, is indeed quite pleasant... Suddenly, a smiling face appeared under the willow shade ahead. Miao Ruolan! "Getting a break too?" Lin Xiaosu said. "Yes!" Miao Ruolan smiled lightly. "Walk with me!" Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, grasped hers, gently guiding her under the willow shade, seemingly leading to a familiar embrace... Suddenly, his heart jumped. The person in his arms... No! To be precise, the person about to be embraced, something’s wrong! She is a Genetic Person! Every nerve in Lin Xiaosu’s body suddenly tensed, but a familiar voice came to his ear: "It’s me! Stay calm, let’s walk." Blue Demon! She wasn’t Miao Ruolan, she was Blue Demon. "Why come here?" Lin Xiaosu abruptly paused the embrace, yet still held her hand, sending a whisper into her ear. "A sudden incident together." "Tell me!" Blue Demon said, "Chang Ye is about to go to the Middle East, to carry out the task of retrieving Wang Zhongze." Lin Xiaosu’s heart jumped sharply, "Her?" "Yes!" Blue Demon said, "An order from above!" "Not her voluntary application?" "No! An order from above!" Blue Demon said, "That’s the real reason I’m here to see you." A ripple swept through Lin Xiaosu’s eyes, like Tashan Lake beneath his feet, he gently exhaled, "Is there a reason for choosing her for the task?" "There’s a reason! And it’s very reasonable!" Blue Demon said, "Someone above thinks our greatest leverage right now is that Wang Zhongze’s secrets remain unexposed, Nine Headed Snake doesn’t know that Lewis is Wang Zhongze. And if a person at Heavenly King Level goes to the Middle East, the target becomes too big, which might create trouble for Nine Headed Snake. Having someone like Chang Ye, not strong in cultivation, but adept at handling complex matters as an intermediate level personnel, carry out this top secret mission has a greater chance of success." "Pinning hopes on the enemy’s ignorance, in this era, is quite ironic." Lin Xiaosu chuckled lightly, "Perhaps their true intention is to have her bind the person truly suited for this task." "Bind who?" Lin Xiaosu’s finger lifted slightly, pointing at his own nose. Using Chang Ye, to bind him! The person to bind, is Lin Xiaosu! Chang Ye is his closest relationship in Qianlong. As long as Lin Xiaosu knows Chang Ye is going to the Middle East for the most dangerous task, he will surely follow. Qianlong has no way to directly assign a task to him as non-staff, but they can assign a task to Chang Ye, and once Chang Ye accepts the task, Lin Xiaosu is simultaneously bound. This might be the real intention from Qianlong above. To go to complex places to carry out the toughest tasks, who else in the world is more suitable than Lin Xiaosu? "If... I just say if..." Blue Demon said, "If above truly has this deeper meaning, and you have also interpreted this deeper meaning, then what about Chang Ye herself? Has she interpreted it?" "She definitely has!" Lin Xiaosu said. "However, she hasn’t contacted you." Blue Demon’s gaze flickered. "Precisely because she has not contacted me that I concluded she has thoroughly interpreted the genuine deeper meaning behind this order." This was hard to understand. But Blue Demon understood completely! Wang Zhongze is hiding in the Middle East. Qianlong must take action. And it has to be done with the utmost speed. This mission is extremely difficult, bringing Wang Zhongze back alive is harder than killing a hundred Wang Zhongzes overseas. This kind of mission is actually a King Level mission, possibly even beyond. Ordinarily, it shouldn’t be executed by Chang Ye. Chang Ye’s level is still a bit low, although she has made significant progress in her cultivation since her last Nirvana. Her combat power alone is close to Blue Demon’s. Combined with her poisonous techniques, her overall combat strength is not inferior to the lowest King Level. But facing this kind of task is still difficult. In the world, the ideal person to complete this impossible task is Lin Xiaosu. When it’s inconvenient to send Lin Xiaosu, assigning the task to Chang Ye, indirectly assigning it to Lin Xiaosu, is also a way of utilizing talents—it’s a neutral term, definitely not a conspiracy. However, the current situation is so complex. Lin Xiaosu ranks second on the Death List. He’s the person the entire Western World wants to eliminate. If he does not step out of the country, Nine Headed Snake can’t reach him. Once he steps out, his life or death hangs in the balance. Can Chang Ye see this? Of course she can. She knows how dangerous this mission is, yet she’s not afraid of death because she understands clearly that she only has a few months left to live. Whether sheltered in a greenhouse, she would wither in a few months, so why not die on a distant battlefield? However, she also saw another point. That is: there might be a conspiracy targeting Lin Xiaosu behind this. She can’t fathom what this conspiracy is, but she can shatter it from the root with "non-communication"!—She doesn’t contact Lin Xiaosu, Lin Xiaosu knows nothing about the matter, so there’s no reason for him to enter the Middle East. The sky-net and earth-net outside, as long as they can’t penetrate national borders, can’t complete the encirclement against Lin Xiaosu. "I am torn, truly!" Blue Demon sighed gently. "Do you think you’ve disrupted Chang Ye’s thoughtful intention?" Lin Xiaosu smiled softly. "Yes! If there’s truly a conspiracy against you, her concealment protects you, and I came purposely, yet pushing you towards Ghost Gate." "Sister, do you remember the war strategy we set the first time we met?" Blue Demon said, "Unconditionally trust your comrades! Isn’t it?" "Yes! You have to trust that you told me the truth out of trust! You have to trust more, where there’s a crisis, there’s an opportunity!" Blue Demon stopped. She gazed at the surface of Tashan Lake for a long time: "This is her itinerary!" She extended her hand, handing a note to Lin Xiaosu. "Thank you!" Lin Xiaosu glanced at it and said, "The time is a bit tight, I have to go." "Wait..." Blue Demon said, "Let me ask you a question." "Go ahead!" "Do you believe in destiny?" "My heavens, Sister, did you really ask such a question!" Lin Xiaosu laughed, "Anyone who knows me knows I am the least to believe in destiny! So-called destiny is just a consolation for the weak. In my dictionary, destiny is meant to be broken! Let’s not discuss this topic; next time we meet, I’ll show you exuberance!" With one movement, he vanished from the lakeside, and the next moment, he was in a taxi: "Driver, Huanggang High-speed Railway Station!" Blue Demon stood at the Tashan Lakeside, quietly watching the taxi go off into the distance. She asked herself once more, was it correct to come today? The lake water flowed gently, and no one could give her an answer. Perhaps the only comfort was his last words: Next time we meet, I’ll show you exuberance. There will be a next time! He is still full of exuberance! This might be enough. If this is a comfort, then, he also has a hopeful phrase: destiny is meant to be broken! He doesn’t know what the "destiny" he refers to is. He doesn’t even know Chang Ye’s "destiny". In the human world, he has created countless miracles, broken countless destinies, can he hold a glimmer of hope for Chang Ye’s "destiny"? This is too hard. The whole Qianlong, with countless talents, still couldn’t solve this life’s problems; he’s not a researcher, how can people believe he can break it?... The taxi sped along the highway, Lin Xiaosu made a call to Miao Ruolan, after hanging up the phone, he leaned back on the car seat with a very serious expression. Some things have started to become terrifying. Not only he felt it, Chang Ye actually felt it too, and so did Blue Demon! This thing today could have been settled with a phone call, she didn’t. If she found the phone unsafe, wasn’t Dragon Eye communication supposed to be the safest in the world? She also didn’t use Dragon Eye communication! At Tashan Lakeside, she was pretending to be Miao Ruolan. Despite the not-so-short distance, she didn’t use her flying car to send him. Everything pointed in one direction. Blue Demon has already materialized her inner concerns about Qianlong. She dares to use Dragon Eye communication to analyze the most confidential cases, yet she doesn’t dare use it to discuss Middle Eastern affairs...
