List of strange talismans

Chapter 91 Beginning and Ending
"What shall we do?"

Skelly squatted on the seat, with a lollipop in her mouth, and asked Zhou Cheng excitedly.

Zhou Cheng didn't speak.

He kept his eyes on the increasingly bumpy road to prevent the car from driving into a ditch.While lowering his head frequently, he looked at the mobile phone on the stand.

On the phone, there is a satellite map with coordinates.A red dot flashed at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical coordinates, and it hadn't moved for a long time.

Gu Xiuya, don't let anything happen to you kid.

Zhou Cheng sighed in his heart.

Half a month ago, Cliff found him out of the blue and asked him to sneak into Gu Xiuya's home and place a device to monitor fluctuations in [Power of Consciousness].

Zhou Cheng refused at first. After all, he had a good impression of Gu Xiuya, and the two of them were kind of friendly. He didn't like doing this kind of thing to acquaintances, which made him feel like a voyeur.

But Cliff soon gave him formal orders as section chief, telling him that it was his job.

"Remember what I told you?"

"Gu Xiuya has the imprint of a god on his body. Judging from recent rumors, that god is probably the Holy Mother of Shuntian who suddenly appeared 300 years ago."

"The path of fate can never be changed. He is destined to become our enemy. If you have not forgotten your oath, you should cooperate with me to prevent this from happening in advance."

Zhou Cheng scoffed at this, he knew very well that Cliff's purpose was not as grand as he said.

The monitoring of Gu Xiuya may be more concerned that the other party will affect his promotion. After all, gossip has begun to spread in the bureau, saying that Cliff has violated regulations and disclosed a lot of high-level information in order to win Gu Xiuya's inheritance in Elton.

Such rumors would not affect much at all, but two weeks ago, someone from the mysterious world suddenly came out and conclusively concluded that Gu Xiuya was related to the Shuntian Sect. It is not a small problem to use the Shuntian religion classics with two characters as evidence.

Illegal operations are internal contradictions, and it can be settled by explaining and admitting mistakes.But colluding with heretics and divulging organizational secrets changed the nature of the matter.

As a result, Cliff lost the qualification to compete for the deputy director, and broke an unknown number of cups for this.

Zhou Cheng could swear that the news was never revealed by himself.

But Cliff didn't believe it.So this offending job fell on him again.

What Zhou Cheng didn't expect was that when he had no choice but to accept the order, Coent, who had just been promoted to deputy director, actually came to the door in person.

What surprised him even more was that his father, Zhou Enci, accompanied Coent.

The conflict between Zhou Cheng and Coent started from the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation. Zhou Enci, the field captain at the time, was originally a strong contender for the chief of the different transfer department, but Coent didn't know what method he used. Zhou Enci was forced to voluntarily give up the competition and applied for medical retirement.

The conflict between the two families ended here. When Zhou Cheng was a child, he often heard his father greeting the Coent family. He thought that the conflict between the two would last to heaven, but he did not expect to see his father and his old enemy join hands again in this life.

After an hour-long conversation, Zhou Cheng, in a rather bewildered manner, became the dark son who was placed in the polling department by the different investigation department.

——Conte asked him to monitor as usual, but all the situation about Gu Xiuya must be reported to him first.

Obviously, this is a struggle of factions and rights, at least Zhou Cheng himself thinks so.

He didn't know what method Coent used to get the stubborn old father to put aside his previous suspicions and come forward, but since the other party had achieved this, he agreed indifferently.

Report to who is not a report?
So, with the help of Coent's news channel, Zhou Cheng successfully avoided Yan Ying, sneaked into Gu Xiuya's home, and put the monitoring equipment behind the trash can in the bedroom.

For the next half month, the surveillance equipment remained silent.

Gu Xiuya seemed to have disappeared, and he never came back after leaving suddenly, and there was no consciousness fluctuation in his home.

Zhou Cheng originally thought that this situation would continue until Cliff got impatient and gave up on this action.

Unexpectedly, just today, just a few hours ago, when he was dealing with a theft case on the street, he suddenly received an alarm signal from the monitoring equipment.

Zhou Cheng had never seen such a signal before. He looked through the [Summary Map of the Characteristics of Consciousness Fluctuation of the White Star Country] that he carried with him, and found that the characteristics of the consciousness fluctuation signal transmitted by the device did not match any known records.

This meant that he was witnessing the emergence of an entirely new trait.Witness the first time that a Holy Spirit, who does not exist in the official records of the Bureau of Investigation, descended on the world with great power.

Zhou Cheng was taken aback at the time, and immediately reported the situation to Coent, and then continued to report to Cliff.

What he didn't expect was that Coent actually ordered him not to continue to report, and to keep the matter absolutely confidential.

"I think you should have heard the gossip that has been circulating recently—there is a close connection between Gu Xiuya and the Shuntian Sect."

"Based on this, it can be inferred that this new feature of the power of consciousness that appeared in Gu Xiuya's home is very likely to belong to the legend of the Shuntian Sect."

"Based on the current level of attention paid to Shuntian Cult in the mysterious world, once this matter spreads, Elton will definitely become the center of the struggle."

"Whether it's based on the need for social stability, or for Gu Xiuya's personal safety, or even your own safety, I think it's best to wait and see for the time being."

"As long as we don't interfere too much, from the experience of similar incidents, things will sort themselves out very quickly."

"By the way, your father, Captain Zhou Enci, thinks so too. He's right next to me now."

The phone was then handed over to Zhou Enci.

In the end, after hearing his father's advice, Zhou Cheng agreed to Coent's request.

But if you don't leak the secrets, you don't leak the secrets, let Zhou Cheng ignore this matter, and he can't do nothing.

The investigator's duty made him unable to ignore the tragedy that happened in front of him. After all, since records began, any person who drew the power of the gods in a form other than the [Static Relic] had a very miserable end in the end.

The weak consciousness organs of human beings can't bear that kind of power at all. Without exception, those who try to ascend to the sky in one step are defeated by the huge power of consciousness and fall into brain death.

This is exactly what Cohent called "self-healing" - the power of consciousness will dissipate if the organs that contain the power are destroyed, and at that time, at most, some nearby creatures will be polluted, and if they die, the matter will be over.

If it was a stranger, Zhou Cheng might just pretend to be deaf and dumb based on the overall situation, but Gu Xiuya saved his life after all, if he turns a blind eye and does not hear it at this time, Zhou Cheng will not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart.

So after thinking about it, he still took Skelly and set off following the signal guidance.

He didn't intend to get involved in the troubles of Gu Xiuya and Shuntianjiao. He was just a surveyor who dealt with common security issues. He was not capable and didn't want to take care of these matters.

If he got to the place and found that Gu Xiuya was really related to the Shuntian Sect, he would probably turn around and leave.

But if Gu Xiuya was already dead, he could at least dig a hole and bury him so that his body would not be exposed to the wilderness.

If you are not dead, it depends on the situation and saves him.

The vehicle was speeding in the night, the lights outside the window became less and less, and the surrounding gradually became deserted.

Zhou Cheng gripped the steering wheel tightly, thoughts surging in his mind.

Suddenly, an exclamation interrupted his thoughts.

"Look, meteor!"

The silly Skelly patted Zhou Cheng's arm, pointed at the car window excitedly and kept screaming.

Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look.

With just one glance, his face suddenly changed.

High above the sky, there is a glorious light hanging down, piercing through the stratus clouds, and falling into the world.

Birds scattered, animals ran wildly, and in the silent night, countless creatures fled in panic, as if the end was approaching.

Zhou Cheng's eyes were in a trance, and everything in his sight was covered by dazzling light.

That pure white and flawless beam of light is like the legendary holy road leading mortals to heaven.

It is also like a sword of heaven that cuts through the boundless moat of consciousness and matter.
