380: Chapter 178: Don’t Try to Reason with a Madman 380: Chapter 178: Don’t Try to Reason with a Madman Qin Xiangdong’s dictionary simply did not contain the word “impossible.”
Or you could say, in the eyes of the soldiers who followed the President in conquering the world back then, there were no “insurmountable difficulties” or “unbeatable enemies.”
Even if we truly couldn’t win, dying here did not matter to me, but I had to try.
Looking at the resolute expression on Qin Xiangdong’s face, Old Master He couldn’t help but sigh.
“Director Qin, you should hand over the Blood Cup Sect case to the Special Service Bureau, as this is truly not something you can handle.”
“I already reported it, but the Special Service Bureau is too busy to handle it.”
Qin Xiangdong spread his hands and said, “Just tell me the ins and outs here, please rest assured, I’m not that rash, I won’t act impulsively.”
“Isn’t this impulsive enough?”
Old Master He shook his head and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but some things…
as they are called nowadays, bear ‘contaminative knowledge’, is that the term?”
He turned to look at Wang Yunxiao.
Wang Yunxiao nodded, glanced at those present, and said to Chen Yuguang, “Go fetch a kettle of hot water, and make tea for everyone.”
He was indifferent, as the saying goes, many lice do not itch, and many debts do not worry.
Both Qin Xiangdong and Gao Shan were soldiers of resolute will, not easily shaken.
Only Chen Yuguang was still a novice, hardly able to withstand much.
Reluctantly, Chen Yuguang stood up to go fetch the water.
Old Master He’s ears twitched, confirming Chen Yuguang had walked far away, before he lit a cigarette again and said to Qin Xiangdong, “Director Qin, how much do you understand about those foreign ‘Gods’?”
Qin Xiangdong shook his head, “Not at all.”
“That’s what I’m saying, you don’t understand anything, how am I supposed to explain to you?”
With furrowed brows, Old Master He pondered for a while, “Back then, a Western Evil God invaded Tianmen and was slain by the President.
Do you know about this?”
Qin Xiangdong nodded, “I know a bit; I joined the army quite late and heard it from my seniors.
They said that the President personally killed a foreign gigantic beast in Tianmen, whose corpse floated in the air and brought three months of Blood Rain.
After that, the land within a hundred miles of Tianmen City was barren for three years.
Later, the Structure Factory used the carcass of that creature to forge a divine weapon…”
At this point, he naturally thought of the Sword of Impermanence in Qi Bing’s hand.
“Is this all you’ve heard?
Then let me tell you this, that Evil God was summoned by the Blood Cup Sect.”
Old Master He stared into Qin Xiangdong’s eyes and asked, “If you provoke them and they conjure something similar again, what will you do then?
Will you have all of Tianmen’s common people bear it with you?”
Qin Xiangdong remained silent for a long time and did not speak.
The silence in the office continued until Chen Yuguang returned with the hot water.
Wang Yunxiao suddenly spoke up, “Master, is there a possibility…
I’m just speculating here, but suppose they truly have that kind of ace up their sleeve?
If they intend to use it, would they care whether or not we provoke them?
Or, could the scene we discovered today be one of the steps in summoning that so-called Evil God?”
“Is it possible that they were already preparing to summon the Evil God again, and we just happened to stumble upon their secret?”
Qin Xiangdong abruptly looked up, his gaze sharp as lightning.
Wang Yunxiao decided to continue, “Furthermore, we’ve never been clear about the real purpose behind Cuojin Sect, Tianle Workshop, and Longevity Sect gathering underage girls for Qian King’s Mansion.
Each organization gives a different explanation, all of which sound absurd and confusing.”
“But what if…
even they do not know the actual plan and are merely pawns on a chessboard, pushed to the front as a smokescreen distraction for a bigger conspiracy?”
“The Blood Cup Sect holds the secret technique of using females to create Holy Grails that give birth to demons and evil spirits, and we’ve only seen one Holy Grail.
Who knows how many they’ve already made?
The kidnapped girls are still missing, and the creation of Holy Grails precisely requires females as materials…”
The rest did not need him to continue.
Everyone present could understand his implied meaning.
Previously, no one had considered this because their thoughts were still constrained to the level of ordinary people.
They were also misled by smoke bombs tossed by other factions, thinking that it was just Old Master Wang practicing life-extending methods at most.
Only Wang Yunxiao had always been pondering one question: why did Mr.
Tong go to such extreme lengths to kidnap Li Mumu?
Did he think her birthdate and time made her different from other girls?
Born overseas, in a different time zone, could you really calculate someone’s accurate birth elements?
And today, these questions finally were answered.
It was the womb, or rather, the Holy Grail!
The kidnapped women were all sacrifices, meant to become the wombs nurturing ancient gods.
Only an exceptional womb was qualified to bear the immense spiritual pressure of an ancient god’s descent.
Don’t think about whether this logic holds up.
What’s the use of discussing logic with cultists?
Their minds are already abnormal.
You cannot use the logical thought processes of normal people to deduce their actions.
Only by standing in their position can their motives be analyzed.
Cultists certainly do not concern themselves with problems that could embarrass society.
Since they managed to create such a work — the failure we found today in the basement of the Western mansion, they will definitely conduct a second experiment, and possibly a third or fourth.
With the reminder from Wang Yunxiao, Qin Xiangdong also realized the critical point: “Immediately reinterrogate the suspect!”
The owner of the Western mansion has already “committed suicide.”
The person most suspect now is Mr.
Tong.
Since he personally took part in the kidnapping of Li Mumu, it indicated he must know some of the insider details, and yet he chose to hide them.
This time, Wang Yunxiao took over the interrogation, bringing Veronica with him.
The heads of the Special Service Section were both tending to him, ensuring he felt a sincere sense of happiness.
Veronica had just rushed back from the church and was not aware of the situation yet.
However, when she heard it involved the Holy Grail Church, she too showed great interest.
“The Blood Cup Sect was already exterminated; I didn’t expect any remnants to have survived.”
“You’re familiar with this Blood Cup Sect?”
“I wouldn’t say familiar, just heard the name before.
It was many years ago during that war when the President landed in Fusang and dug up their ancestors’ graves to scatter and ash their bones.
Haven’t heard of them causing any trouble these years.”
Veronica thought for a moment and added a caution, “You need to be careful, this sect is notorious for being utterly ruthless.
Others might resort to extreme measures, but they are capable of anything.”
