Chapter 177 Mirror

Li Cheng颐 slowly walked through the middle of the reading room, following the aisle, surveying the bookshelves.

'The Back Shadow Dead Angle is more urgent than Gongfa-type Flower Utterances and investigating the Sunken Hall. If Iserin is correct, then I must first solve the Dead Angle problem.'

After all, the other two weren't so urgent, only the Dead Angle was approaching.

He calmed his mind.

Li Cheng颐 randomly pulled a book from the shelf.

The book's cover was black, with gilded lettering, but the lettering was alive, wriggling slightly like worms, constantly deforming, making it impossible to understand its meaning.

"The books here have uncertain content; it's best if Brother doesn't read them," Iserin said softly from behind.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that every time you open them, different content may appear. They are made from special products salvaged from the Black Sea and are not books in the traditional sense. Some can even be dangerous."

Iserin walked to the last row of bookshelves, reached out and took a book with a white cover, flipping through a few pages.

"The method for escaping the Back Shadow is simple, but the process is troublesome. This is content summarized by other Black Sea races."

Li Cheng頤 focused his gaze, looking at her, waiting for the rest.

"If Brother wants to escape, you must first make a mirror using your own bone ash. Then, holding the mirror, turn with the Back Shadow, turning in a circle twenty times. That's all," Iserin read from the book.

"That simple?" Li Cheng颐 was slightly stunned.

"Yes, that's how simple it is. The key is the making of the bone ash mirror. A person only has so many bones. What happens to them if they extract the bones to make a mirror?" Iserin said helplessly.

"That's not really a problem," Li Cheng颐 breathed a sigh of relief. "Using cloning technology to cultivate a person's bone cells separately is not technically difficult."

"Really?" Iserin clearly didn't understand the level of modern technological development and was still stuck in her thinking from many years ago.

"I'll find someone to try it first. If there are no problems, then I'll use it myself!" Li Cheng頤 said.

"Okay!" Iserin nodded. She hesitated, "If Brother wants to try, it's best to choose another person's Back Shadow Dead Angle apparition..."

She could actually tell that Li Cheng颐 didn't really believe that the Back Shadow could cause him much harm.

So, she said this extra sentence.

Li Cheng颐 indeed thought so.

He hadn't even tried his Flower Utterance abilities yet, how would he know if they were effective against the Dead Angle?

So, up until now, his attitude towards the Back Shadow was still one of skepticism.

"I understand. Don't worry."

"If anything happens, Brother can take a piece of my bone with you. You can contact me at any time to enter here!" Iserin said softly.

"Bone, huh? I understand." Li Cheng頤 knew what she meant. This way, even if he entered some very troublesome Dead Angles, he could have Iserin, this Hand of Tight Grip transfer station, to rest temporarily and ensure safety.

It had to be said that building a good relationship with Iserin in the beginning was really a worthwhile investment.

This little fellow had brought him a lot of help so far.

After confirming a solution, his mood settled down a bit. He slowly walked to the window of the reading room and looked out.

Outside the window was a hazy gray, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Iserin, can you go out there?"

"That's the buffer zone between the Black Sea and us. Teacher said you can't just go out like that. You have to prepare protective measures, otherwise you'll be directly dissolved," Iserin said.

"Dissolved?"

"Yes, there are many, many strange and bizarre things in the Black Sea. Without this layer of buffering protection, we would be much more dangerous than we are now. So, this gray fog is actually a kind of natural protection for us."

"The Black Sea..." Li Cheng頤 put his hand on the glass, looking at the quiet gray fog outside, lost in thought for a moment.

The next day, Suiyang City.

Fire Department.

In the director's office, Chen Shaodong leisurely lit a cigarette, looking at the projection screen phone floating in mid-air in front of him.

"Mingyuan Company, huh? No problem, such a small matter doesn't require you to call personally. Rest assured, rest assured, I'll take people to check the fire safety immediately. These companies that don't comply with laws and regulations will definitely not be allowed to open!"

"The amount of the fine doesn't matter, but the *du* you understand, we must strictly ensure a safe fire protection system, and not allow any loopholes or slackness," the middle-aged man on the screen said solemnly.

"I understand, I understand." As the director, Chen Shaodong was too familiar with this kind of platitude.

Wasn't the reason the higher-ups were taking action to deal with Mingyuan Company because the nobles at an even higher level were exerting their influence?

He understood that very well.

"That's good. I'm watching your performance. If you do a good job this time, what should be there will naturally be there," the middle-aged man in the screen said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, this matter will definitely be handled properly for you," Chen Shaodong said with a smile.

*Pa*.

The phone hung up.

He leaned back in his leather chair and took a satisfying puff of smoke. Then he called his subordinates, summoning manpower to prepare to depart.

Standing up and putting on his coat, he would naturally take the lead in this trip, recording images to show how hard he was working, starting immediately after receiving the notice.

He had to make sure that Mingyuan Company, which had offended the Zhu family, couldn't even open its doors!

Alas, don't blame him. If they had to blame someone, they should blame someone in Mingyuan who didn't know any better and offended someone they shouldn't have.

Putting on his coat, Chen Shaodong pushed the door open and walked out.

*Ka-cha*.

Two tall men in black uniforms with blue shoulder marks were standing outside the door. Behind them were several soldiers in similar attire holding guns.

"Chen Shaodong, right? We're from the Security Bureau. We received a real-name report about your embezzlement and bribery. Come with us."

The man flashed his badge at him.

"Embezzlement? Bribery?!" Chen Shaodong was stunned. He recognized the Security Bureau's uniforms, but the last time he was involved in embezzlement and bribery was more than a year ago...

"It was that time a year ago. A year ago, you accepted a bribe of 4.82 million from Dongsheng Property, deposited into your nephew's bank account, then laundered it seventeen times, and finally turned it into gold bars and put them under the swimming pool of your villa in the suburbs. All of this has been successfully collected as evidence," the man said calmly.

".!!?" Chen Shaodong was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react at all.

He even thought he was dreaming and hadn't woken up from his afternoon nap. He had taken so many detours and run through so many channels...but actually...

*Ka-cha*.

Until the silver handcuffs were cuffed on him, the cold, hard touch stuck to his skin, making him jolt.

He then woke up and knew that all of this was real.

*

*

At the same time, in various departments of Suiyang City, cases of real-name reports were received one after another.

In the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Urban Management Bureau, and the Taxation Bureau, the small leaders in charge were taken away and dealt with.

In Yong'an Garden.

"Okay! All resolved!" Rainbow Candy moved her fingers, stretching lazily.

"So fast?" In the hovering screen next to her, Li Cheng颐's surprised face was revealed.

The two were in remote communication.

"It was just a precaution anyway. I investigated the black history of these bosses in advance. Now I'm just throwing it out casually," Rainbow Candy said. "That Zhu Rui doesn't know anything and even dared to make wild remarks against you, Boss. How ridiculous."

She pulled out the peach-flavored lollipop from her mouth.

"Doesn't he know that Suiyang is our territory? Even Zhongyi University couldn't get any advantage last time. Just a Zhu family disciple *hehe*."

"Are you confident in resolving it?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"Don't worry, Boss, just a Zhu family branch. Don't even talk about a branch. Even if the real direct descendants come, no matter where they come from, as long as they are in Suiyang, even a dragon has to coil for me, and even a tiger has to lie down," Rainbow Candy seemed to have matured a lot since returning from Sultan.

She didn't explode at every turn like before, but her words had a hint of arrogance than before.

"Then I'm counting on you. If it really doesn't work, the Boss said you can go find him," Li Cheng頤 instructed.

"No problem!" Rainbow Candy's mouth hooked up, revealing a confident smile.

She casually picked up a bowl of grapes placed on the side, pinched one from it, and was about to throw it into her mouth.

But suddenly, she realized that the grape seemed a little small.

Immediately, she took another one in her palm.

'Flower Utterance - Heart of Aggregation.'

*Biu!*

The two purple grapes merged together in an instant, turning into a grape that was much larger.

Rainbow Candy was satisfied and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing slowly.

She had fully understood the strange effect of the Heart of Aggregation. Her Boss's was not a Bio-Armor.

It was completely another system different from the technological system.

But since the Boss didn't want to say it clearly, then she would just assume it was biotechnology.

The special application of the Heart of Aggregation had also given her a more exaggerated improvement in computer networks.

For example, when attacking the other party's defense system, aggregate two loopholes into one larger loophole.

For example, the hacker applet that she wrote, constantly aggregating two by two until the end, aggregating a cutting-edge program with incredibly powerful functions.

This strange Flower Utterance ability had further expanded and enhanced her already extremely exaggerated genius hacker ability.

The Heart of Aggregation was not an ability used in actual combat, but an ability to constantly accumulate behind the scenes, similar to charging up.

The longer the accumulation time. The more terrifying the things that are aggregated.

Qinggang Futangshan Hospital.

Li Cheng頤 followed Da Xiong into the special cultivation room on the underground floor of the hospital.

Constant-temperature culture tanks of various sizes stood around the two of them.

Some contained animal limbs and organs, and some contained human limbs and organs.

Even though they were separated from the body, they could still see subtle undulations and pulsations in these organs.

"A faster way to cultivate bone cells is to directly sample your osteoblasts," Da Xiong said simply.

"How long will it take?" Li Cheng頤 followed behind, constantly looking left and right at the surrounding furnishings.

"It depends on how much you need. Usually, we cultivate them to use as materials for repairing bone damage and wear, etc. The amount required is not large. The cycle is about 20 grams in three days."

"What about ten kilograms?" Li Cheng頤 said.

"." Da Xiong's smile froze on his face. "You must be joking."

"I'm serious. I want ten kilograms," Li Cheng頤 said in a deep voice.

". This" Da Xiong didn't know how to answer.

"I don't need a fixed shape, I don't need it to be a whole piece. It's to be ground into powder to make a mirror, so, can it be faster this way?" Li Cheng頤 said again.

"In that case, it's not a big problem. If there are no shape requirements, we can completely use multiple culture tanks at the same time," Da Xiong's expression eased slightly.

"How long will it take?"

"Four days at least."

"Then four days!" Li Cheng颐 nodded. He paused and changed the topic.

"By the way, what's the situation with the Back-Facing People at the company?"

"Nine have died," Da Xiong replied in a deep voice. "There are still two people who have been flashed into the scope of the Back-Facing People. The company is trying to find a way. The Boss has mobilized all channels and resources to search for clues."

"I'll go take a look later," Li Cheng頤 said.

The influence of the Back-Facing People was even greater than he had imagined. It seemed that it had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
