Zhong Kui's Diary
"Do you remember the night before Lingfeng's wedding when he came looking for you downstairs at your house?" Kong Xuan changed the subject.
"Yes, Lou Wei was in the car too; we were discussing Lingfeng's marriage."
"If I remember correctly, Lingfeng mentioned to you that he felt sorry for you." Kong Xuan smiled.
"Right! How did you know that?" I asked suspiciously.
"It doesn't matter how I know this; what matters is that you should understand what it means to feel wronged now, right? From start to finish, we were just acting, and you were the only one who didn't know." Kong Xuan smiled, though a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Be more careful with your words," I said angrily.
"Let's start from the beginning. Dominion Villa is a research institution that has existed for a long time. However, in the national archives, it is not called Dominion Villa, but rather Ministry of National Defense Ninth Research Institute, directly under Office One. Initially, this research institute had many scientific achievements; for example, our country's large transport aircraft had many data points originating from this institute." Kong Xuan sighed lightly, "What a pity, what a pity that this Ninth Research Institute has turned into this."
"I, Kong Xuan, don't need your sighs; get to the point!" Aijia Yu laughed and scolded from the front.
"Alright, the point." Kong Xuan chuckled awkwardly: "Because the Ninth Research Institute was established by very patriotic individuals. To be honest, non-patriotic people couldn't even enter the Ninth Research Institute. This means that those inside are more or less hot-headed. They are extremely angry seeing China being surrounded by Western countries and are demanding military solutions. Meanwhile, due to macro considerations, One has been enduring humiliation and naturally wouldn't easily initiate conflict. This led to dissatisfaction within the Ninth Research Institute, and thus they developed the Rain of Swords Plan."
"Uh-huh!" I nodded. What Kong Xuan was saying was somewhat similar to my situation with Tang Seng. At least this research institute is under Office One.
"Of course, not everyone in the Ninth Research Institute is hot-headed; there are also seasoned individuals who know that this plan is too bloody. Although they don't agree with it in their hearts, they can't openly oppose it. Therefore, they used certain special channels to leak this plan out, which eventually reached Lou Wei." Kong Xuan said with a bitter smile: "Even though Lou Wei learned about this plan, he only knew that such a plan existed; there was no evidence at all. Just reporting this hearsay to One would probably not even pass through his secretary."
I frowned and nodded; I completely agreed with this point. One deals with countless matters every day. If he had to deal with such unsubstantiated claims on his desk, he wouldn't have time to do anything else. One of the functions of Office One is to filter out these baseless claims.
"When Lou Wei was struggling with this issue, suddenly someone from Dominion Villa, which is also the Ninth Research Institute, burst into my room and took away Guo'er's body. They told me to inform you that they could save Guo'er. If you want to see a living Guo'er, you must help them with something. Just as they left, Lou Wei arrived on the scene. After analyzing the situation, we decided to keep this matter from you for now." At this point, Kong Xuan paused slightly and looked at me.
"Continue," I said with a frown.
"Because we all know you well, for Guo'er, you would definitely do anything. However, Lou Wei can determine that the matter Dominion Villa seeks your help with is definitely related to the Rain of Swords Plan," Kong Xuan looked at me and shook his head with a bitter smile. "We all understand how important Guo'er is to you, as it concerns the lives of countless people around the world. Therefore, we have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure!"
I fell silent, my expression clearly not good. Could I blame Kong Xuan and the others for this?
Seeing that I had nothing to say, Kong Xuan continued, "Later, Lou Wei learned through some secret channels that the Flower Manor Master of Dominion Villa had indeed fused with Guo'er's consciousness, but Guo'er did not awaken. In other words, they turned Guo'er into a vegetable, making it difficult for Dominion Villa to approach you. On our side, we could only tell you that Guo'er's body was destroyed due to the rupture of the Mustard Seed Box, and ultimately it was cremated."
"Weren't you saying that Guo'er's consciousness was attached to Qingcheng? Is that also false?" I asked coldly.
"When they seized my Mustard Seed Box, An Ran happened to be by my side. At that time, the Mustard Seed Box had already been taken by them. Before they left, when they could use the Revival Fruit, An Ran took a gamble and stuffed Guo'er's consciousness back into her body, thinking that if they really could use the Revival Fruit, at least it wouldn't result in reviving a soulless corpse... uh..." Kong Xuan seemed to find the term 'soulless corpse' inappropriate and paused for a moment. "In any case, Guo'er's consciousness also entered Dominion Villa along with her body!"
"Then what about Qingcheng?" I said angrily. "Isn't she able to sing Guo'er's song?"
"I really don't know how to explain this to you. Their relationship was so good; what's so strange about her learning a song? From beginning to end, Qingcheng is actually the most wronged person. She has to pretend to be herself during the day and act like Guo'er at night... We all feel sorry for her regarding this matter!"
"Where is Qingcheng now?"
"We're afraid she might reveal something if she sees you, so we didn't let her come in."
After a moment of silence, Kong Xuan cleared his throat lightly. "Later, Lou Wei told us that since they couldn't use Guo'er to threaten you, they planned to capture you personally. Therefore, we decided to play along and push you towards the villa."
"Be more specific! I want to know how you used me," I said with a cold smile.
"We're not particularly clear on their plan either, but we know that Shattering Stone is definitely one of their pawns. While you were unconscious, I used the Phantom Mosquito to trace the aura from Shattering Stone, which came from the Thunder Sound Temple of General Mountain. So we arranged those two mudslides; this way we could naturally step into the Thunder Sound Temple," said Kong Xuan, smiling.
"Was the mudslide arranged by you? No wonder it was so coincidental!" I continued to sneer.
Kong Xuan smiled slightly, "That Fragrance / Soft Muscle Powder is not some ancient miracle drug. Both I and Qingcheng naturally know the intentions of the White Dragon Horse. To complicate matters, we pretended to be poisoned and temporarily planned a Scandal. Of course, to avoid raising suspicion, my Ai made a great sacrifice, which you saw completely."
Just as I was about to say I didn't care, I remembered Ai was in front, so I could only snort coldly, "I've been chased by you all this way; how about I try chasing you for a change? Damn, you even used a Rocket Launcher on me."
"That's the only way to make the villa believe that you are at your wit's end! We finally managed to drive you into Dominion Villa without any danger. As for what happens next, you must know about the Rain of Swords Plan. Our goal is to capture you the moment you implement the Rain of Swords Plan. Only with solid evidence can we force Number One to order the disbandment of Dominion Villa... or its destruction..." Kong Xuan sighed bitterly, "In short, we cannot allow this Rain of Swords Plan to be executed."
"Alright, we're at the door now. Let's get out of the car first; Ai will go bring them over." Fatty interrupted us and had Kong Xuan put on the Mask again. The three of us then got out of the car while Ai leisurely drove back.
As soon as we got out of the car, we were faced with the Golden Gate. The gate was about ten meters high and nearly ten meters wide, with a four-inch LCD screen that was dark and not displaying anything. Below the screen was a control panel resembling a keyboard; it seemed this was Sima Sanguang's Super Access Control System.
"By the way, what's going on with that Guo'er outside?" Kong Xuan asked.
I recounted how I met Hua Wuqiu, how Hua Wuqiu liked me, and even how he knew I liked Guo'er, going so far as to possess Guo'er to explain everything in detail. I casually mentioned Grandmaster-level Expert and Flower Attacker as well.
Kong Xuan and Fatty both listened with some surprise; Fatty even laughed and said, "Ghost Brother, you have Guo'er and Qingcheng, and now another Hua Wuqiu—three sisters-in-law! Tsk tsk, it reminds me of an idiom."
"What idiom?"
"The sun is high in the sky!"
"Damn it, do you believe I'll give you a beating right now?" I couldn't help but laugh and curse. Although I learned that I had been used by Kong Xuan and others from start to finish, their intentions were for the sake of many innocent lives. Just from this point alone, I couldn't be angry. Moreover, having thought my brothers had turned against each other all along, discovering that wasn't the case brought me more joy than anger.
Turning to Kong Xuan, I asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
"Surely it will be captured on the spot the moment they make their move!" Kong Xuan laughed.
"Captured on the spot? Who is your leader? Is it Lou Wei? Does he have a problem with his head? I will be the one making the move, and I will also be the one activating the formation. Are you planning to capture me on the spot?" I said, somewhat exasperated. What a chaotic plan this was. I frowned and said, "Well... right now that formation is in my hands. How about we just run away?"
"Since they can create the first formation, they can surely create a second and third. We must eradicate the root of the problem and obtain evidence for Number One... Huh? That formation is in your hands? How could such an important thing be in your possession?" Kong Xuan frowned.
"Can I still deceive you?" I reached out to take out the golden ball but then remembered that Tang Seng and the others were behind me, so I reluctantly put my hand down. "That Deputy Master Flower Attacker personally handed it to me and even taught me a spell."
"What spell?"
"Hongmu Naan Dachi Gongmu."
"This spell, tsk tsk..." Kong Xuan shook his head with a frown. "It doesn't seem like a spell for activating formations."
"What do you mean?"
"This spell resembles those catalytic spells, similar to stimulants." Kong Xuan's brow furrowed tightly. "Such spells can rapidly stimulate the energy within your body. Well, perhaps it is meant to use the energy within you to activate the formation."
"What should I do then?" I was somewhat uncertain.
