List of strange talismans

Chapter 32 Trading
Cliff had never seen such a shameless brat.

A young body, a handsome face, a perverted landlady and aunt who covets ignorant teenagers... What kind of ghostly adjectives are these!
Does Yan Ying need to covet you?
If she really wants to do something to you, do you still have the ability to resist?Do you still want to resist?
No, what am I thinking?
Cliff soon realized that he had been fooled.

The seemingly young boy in front of him was not the easy-to-handle dude he had met before.

The other party has a mature mind far beyond his age.The seemingly nonsense and funny words are just a means, the purpose is to make him have mood swings and break the dominant atmosphere he created.

"...You are even more cunning than what was described in Zhou Cheng's report, Mr. Gu."

Cliff changed his posture and sat upright in the face of danger, and changed the name of Gu Xiuya indistinctly.It seems to put it in a position worthy of attention.

"Enough chatting, let's get straight to the point."

He took out an agreement that he had prepared a long time ago: "This is a two-way agreement with notarization effect. It is stated in the terms that, on my suggestion, you promise to inherit Mr. Gu Yuan's estate in Elton City, Baixing Country , and pay the corresponding taxes. In exchange, I will answer your questions."

"I will take full responsibility for all troubles arising from this."

"And all the benefits brought about by it will also belong to you."

Gu Xiuya glanced at him: "Am I right? Mr. Section Chief who wants to be the chief."

"In any win-win transaction, the risk and benefit are always proportional." Cliff said indifferently, without denying Gu Xiuya's speculation.

"Your awareness is admirable. But I am not satisfied with your sincerity."

Gu Xiuya opened the agreement and looked at it, pointing to one of the pages and said: "The polling department will answer the questions raised by the promise party and there are no major security risks. Are you going to play word games with me?"

"This is the bottom line of an investigator, Mr. Gu. I am responsible for the safety of you and all residents of Elton City."

Cliff said sternly: "You may not be clear, a lot of knowledge alone is enough to cause a huge disaster. I don't know what questions you plan to ask, and it is reasonable to restrict it first. I hope you understand."

"...I didn't spend so much money to hear you give a speech of justice, Mr. Cliff."

Gu Xiuya stood up immediately.

"If the people in the Bureau of Investigation really care about the public as you said, they won't have to divide the connection lines for help."

"Now there are only you and me in this room, and I don't want to hear such magnificent nonsense from your mouth again."

"Either, revise the terms. Or, I'll go to Coent. I think Mr. Section Chief of the Dissonance Department must be eager to make a deal with me instead of you."

Cliff crossed his hands on the armrest of the sofa, watching Gu Xiuya in silence.

After a long time, he said, "You can talk about your conditions first."

"I want to investigate all the information about the esoteric religion that the investigation bureau has. There are also related information on how to resist hallucinations, escape from dreams, and [residing fetishes], [gods], [embers], [abnormal events], etc."

Cliff's face was a little ugly.

He found that he still underestimated the price of this transaction.He also underestimated the frightening thirst for knowledge of a young rich man who was about to own billions of dollars in inheritance.

"Your request greatly exceeds my authority, Mr. Gu."

Cliff frowned: "And I sincerely remind you that a lot of knowledge here is harmful to you."

"I heard that you have been pursuing the sacred relics of the gods, and you almost died because of it... Isn't this kind of experience enough for you to understand that any knowledge has a price?"

"If I agree to your request, you will fall into a...horrible situation that you can't imagine because of the knowledge you have learned."

"To be honest, I don't think that under such circumstances, you can live to the day of fulfilling the agreement intact."

"Risk and reward are always proportional, aren't they, Mr. Cliff?"

Gu Xiuya made a pun.

He kept the agreement in his hand on the table, and knocked on it indifferently.

"Prove to me how much you want to be the chief."

……

after an hour.

Cliff opened the door and watched Gu Xiuya leave without saying a word.

Zhou Cheng, who had been waiting at the door, said hello to Gu Xiuya, then moved to Cliff and asked with great interest, "What did he ask?"

"There are 14 questions related to AA secret level and 6 questions related to AAA top secret level."

Zhou Cheng let out a hey: "So the agreement fell through?"

Cliff didn't answer.

Zhou Cheng's eyes widened: "Don't tell me you agreed."

"...Do you know how much 30.00% of that inheritance is?" Cliff asked without answering.

Zhou Cheng remained silent.

Cliff stared at Gu Xiuya's back with a gloomy gaze: "One-fifth. One-fifth of the annual tax revenue of Baixing Kingdom."

"Money is useless to people like us most of the time. But when it reaches a certain level, even a noble like a king has to bow to it."

Cliff looked at Zhou Cheng: "I have no choice. I need to take control of the Disorder Department as soon as possible. This is an opportunity I must seize."

"...Cliff, are you crazy!"

Zhou Cheng grabbed his collar and glared at him: "He's just a child! Do you want him to die!"

"He's not necessarily going to die."

Cliff said indifferently: "Have you ever thought about why Coent, who has always been unprofitable and early, made an exception to pay attention to an ordinary person this time?"

Without waiting for Zhou Cheng to ask questions, he listened to Cliff.

"Gu Xiuya has a mark left by a god on his body."

"Although some unknown force covered up the fluctuation of the imprint, making it impossible to be easily detected. But the [knowledge seeker] told me that the information contained in him is far more important than the faint imprint of the favored one on Shang Siyue. It is majestic and more complex."

"This means that he has seen a holy spirit with his own eyes. And it is a high-ranking holy spirit who can rival [angels]."

Zhou Cheng stood on the spot in a daze.

As an investigator, he knew exactly what this meant.

Cliff pushed his hand away, turned and walked to his office.

In the empty corridor, his slightly desolate sigh echoed.

"The path of destiny can never be changed. One day, he will wear the laurel crown, step into the Kingdom of God, and revive the Holy Spirit with his own hands."

"By then, he will be our enemy."

Zhou Cheng remembered his favorite old motto of the Bureau of Investigation.

【The legend will end before my eyes, and the gods will also turn into nothingness】

The terrible thing is never the end of the legend, but knowing that it will be born, but unable to stop it.

Mistakes can always be corrected only after they have occurred.

……

Gu Xiuya stood on the balcony, looking at the bright moon.

The jet-black steel creation that once caused a huge earthquake with a single look did not appear today.

But there is another equally stalwart figure coming to the world.

He is even more disordered than the former, with barely recognizable forms.

It is composed of countless flickering and floating cubes, hovering in the sky, and its body stretches into a curtain that stretches for thousands of miles, covering almost the entire human society.

Numerous cubes of Ganges sand condensed, collapsed, and shattered in His body, scattered all over the world.There are endless torrents of various colors rushing in each cube, looking from a distance, it looks like an alternative starry sky.

No, He has already replaced the starry sky.

Gu Xiuya noticed that when the silvery white moonlight shone on His sky-like body, it couldn't penetrate a single bit.

All the light from the starry sky was completely cut off by the covering body.

The starry sky that people in the world see when they look up is nothing but the shimmering light produced by the infinite cube flickering on and off in the extreme distance!

Gu Xiuya watched as it floated in the silent night sky, gradually becoming transparent as it expanded, and the conversation from half an hour ago appeared in his mind.

What is God?
Cliff said so.

"It is difficult for me to describe to you the magnificent essence of God in the simple language of human beings. Just like the word referring to God, in the thousands of religious books on this planet, He has countless ways to pronounce it."

"So is God."

"The only thing I can tell you is what the nature of God I know is in my understanding."

"He is a concept."
