Then let them offer their loyalty!

As Qiu Tu reached out and caressed Tan Huimin's ample bosom, he explained, "For example... he made a deal with an evil god. He castrated him, or your fertility."

After speaking, Qiu Tu stared intently at Tan Huimin's expression.

In his line of sight, Tan Huimin was suddenly startled, her body trembling involuntarily. She then exclaimed in surprise, "Making a deal with an evil god? Castrating your fertility?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, as if the devil were whispering, "Yes."

"If no problems can be found in your physical examinations, then there's only one explanation, isn't there?"

"If there are no problems on the technological side, then the problem can only lie on the mystical side."

Qiu Tu's idea was not something he made up out of thin air.

After discovering the root cause of the conflict between Tan Huimin and Zheng Tao this morning, Qiu Tu immediately contacted the "pregnancy drug".

When he first saw the term "pregnancy drug," he thought it was similar to certain gonadotropins in modern medicine, both of which help increase the activity or production of certain cells.

However, when he discovered that Zheng Tao and Tan Huimin were both healthy and had no problems with their medical examinations, but had been unable to have children for many years, he clearly sensed that something was wrong.

So, he specifically took the time during breakfast to talk to Shen Lingshuang about this topic.

It has to be said that Shen Lingshuang is truly an encyclopedia, knowing a little about everything.

According to Shen Lingshuang, the shelter has already studied this issue over the years.

A living being in the real world is actually composed of two parts: body and soul. Therefore, the birth of a living being requires both body and soul to be fully developed.

According to the research conducted by the sanctuary, generally speaking, the body of a living being is formed by the pairing of genes from its parents, while the soul is formed by the interaction of the souls and spirits of its parents.

What's even more amazing is that... the soul usually precedes the body.

In other words, for a life to be born, the souls and spirits of the parents must first interact to give birth to a new, weak soul. Only then will the parents' genes then nurture a fertilized egg to "store" that weak soul and allow it to develop further.

Therefore, if a living being is mentally or spiritually castrated, then even if he/she is physically normal, he/she will not be able to reproduce.

After learning this secret from Shen Lingshuang, Qiu Tu was truly shocked, and it also gave him a deeper understanding of the "pregnancy potion".

He speculated that perhaps the pregnancy potion's main effect was not on the body, but rather on the mind and soul.

It makes it easier for the souls and spirits of two people to connect, giving birth to a new soul, and then the two bodies nurture an "embryo" to give birth to a new life.

So, following this topic, Qiu Tu also asked curiously why the shelter had come up with this research direction.

Then he learned a shocking secret from Shen Lingshuang.

Chapter 236 Confronting Secretary Bai (10,000 words, please vote!)

According to Shen Lingshuang, the shelter did not actually intend to study the direction of life continuation; it was all a coincidence.

Qiu Tu already knew that Tier 1 Cataclysms would strengthen their bodies, while Tier 2 Cataclysms would reshape their bodies.

What he didn't know was that a third-tier Cataclysm could detach from the body and exist directly in the real world and the boundless sea of ​​the mind as a spiritual entity.

It was in this state that some of the more open-minded Tier 3 Cataclysms had relations using their spiritual forms.

At first, the two Tier 3 Cataclysms thought it was interesting and wouldn't result in pregnancy, so they went ahead with it.

But who knew... not long after returning to her body, the female Tier 3 Cataclysm was surprised to find that she was pregnant.

Moreover... the body wasn't pregnant, but the soul was.

This statement may seem counterintuitive and contrary to common sense: how can a soul become pregnant?

In fact... because the mental strength of a Tier 3 Cataclysm is strong enough, the soul has already taken on a fixed shape, and is no different from the body.

The female Tier 3 Cataclysm discovered that her soul's belly was swelling, beginning to nurture new life, but her body did not react at all, as if it were all an illusion.

This discovery shocked and frightened her, so she reported it to the shelter that very night.

The sanctuary had been researching the secrets of the boundless sea of ​​the mind and the spiritual body. So when they discovered her extraordinary case, they immediately began their investigation.

It was through this research that the shelter was able to discover the essence of life's birth in the Cataclysmic Era—the soul is born before the body, then resides in the body, and finally is born into the material world.

But if a newborn life has no physical body, only a soul, that's okay too.

He will be nurtured strong enough within his mother's soul before being born!

This timeframe is likely not the typical 10 months of pregnancy, but rather three, five, or even ten years.

Moreover, because he has no physical body, he cannot be born into the real world, but must be born into the boundless sea of ​​the mind.

Become a born catastrophic one, or rather... a catastrophic creature.

It was from Shen Lingshuang's mouth that Qiu Tu learned this astonishing information, and he boldly speculated about the past between Zheng Tao, Tan Huimin, and La Riluo.

He guessed that Zheng Tao, this follower of the evil god, had most likely obtained something from La Riluo in exchange for his or Tan Huimin's reproductive ability.

So, despite being in excellent health all these years, the two have been unable to have children.

Zheng Tao knew the truth, which is why he wasn't enthusiastic about having children. But because he couldn't openly discuss the deal, he was forced to accompany Tan Huimin to various medical checkups.

It was precisely because of the pressure to keep the secret, and the boredom of doing useless work for a long time, that he began to become increasingly impatient and indifferent towards Tan Huimin.

Therefore, he preferred to come to the New Territories alone, and... ultimately agreed to send Tam Wai-man to Yau To's side...

Of course, all of the above are speculations made by Qiu Tu after reading Tan Huimin's fragmented memories and learning the secret of the birth of beings in the Cataclysmic Era from Shen Lingshuang. They cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

But... he didn't care whether his speculation was correct or not. He just wanted to sow discord between Tan Huimin and her husband, and then open up a new intelligence channel from Tan Huimin, right?

So, as long as the logic makes sense and Tan Huimin can believe it, isn't that enough?

So, with this in mind, Qiu Tu abandoned his moral bottom line. Then, he slowly explained his entire thought process to Tan Huimin.

Tan Huimin clearly didn't know much about the information Qiu Tu was providing. Furthermore, she had limited trust in Qiu Tu, so she listened with a mixture of belief and skepticism.

Even after listening to the whole thing, Qiu Tu, still somewhat suspicious, asked, "So, you mean... my ex-husband made a deal with an evil god, offering my fertility to the evil god?"

As Qiu Tu gently rubbed Tan Huimin's heavy chest, he shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily yours. It could be his."

"But... it must be one of the two of you."

Tan Huimin appeared somewhat dazed.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't disturb her any further. He knew that Tan Huimin needed some time to think about and verify the information he had provided.

So he released his arms from Tan Huimin and prepared to get to work for the day.

Back at his desk, Qiu Tu sat down and picked up the landline to call Song Qing.

He instructed her to go to the Intelligence Section, Interrogation Section, and Inspection Section in Tan Huimin's place and inform the section chiefs of these three departments to compile a summary of their work and intelligence from the past six months and submit it to his office by next week. He wanted to review it.

As for... Tan Huimin. Given the magnitude of the shock she's received, she probably won't be able to recover for a while and won't be able to work.

Sure enough, when the girl Song Qing came to report, Tan Huimin was still standing there in a daze.

Song Qing tilted her head curiously to look at Tan Huimin, who was standing there, then leaned closer to Qiu Tu and asked curiously, "Sir, why isn't this beauty you've been flirting with moving?"

"Did you freeze her in time? ヘ|???|ノ*~●"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu tapped Song Qing's head in an annoyed tone, "Don't call me that for no reason. She's my secretary."

"Now she..."

Thinking this, Qiu Tu coughed and said, "Something happened at home, so she's a little sad."

Song Qing said "Oh," then looked up at Tan Huimin, whose clothes were disheveled, whose face was streaked with tears, and whose eyes were swollen, and nodded. "I understand. So that's how it is."

But her expression clearly showed that she didn't believe it at all.

Tan Huimin remained stunned for almost an hour before she came to her senses.

But she said nothing, neither thanking Qiu Tu nor arguing with him. She simply continued her secretarial work silently, as if nothing had happened.

But Qiu Tu knew... his words must have planted a seed in this woman's heart.

She's not making a statement now only because she still harbors a sliver of hope, and is preparing to go back and investigate whether Qiu Tu's claim of "spiritual connection giving birth to life" is true or not.

Once she discovers that what Qiu Tu said is true, a huge rift will form in her heart towards Zheng Tao!

Then she can use it.

Although she might not be loyal to Qiu Tu because of their relationship, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

As long as she can become Qiu Tu's most useful weapon, does it matter who she is loyal to?

As for whether she will choose to cooperate with others after learning the truth?

To be honest, Qiu Tu wasn't worried. After all... given her status, position, and the people she could contact, no one was more suitable to cooperate with her than Qiu Tu.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu didn't press Tan Huimin as he had in the morning, but instead proceeded with his work in a normal, methodical manner.

And so, with their tacit cooperation, the day's work came to a quick end.

After getting off work, Qiu Tu did not leave the office immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette and quietly pondered his plans for the evening.

After hesitating for a while, Qiu Tu finally decided to continue with his plan.

So he picked up the landline and called Secretary Bai, saying he wanted to meet with him alone tonight.

Secretary Bai seemed to have been waiting for this call for a long time. So when she heard Qiu Tu's question, she didn't hesitate at all and readily agreed with a light laugh.

.......

[The Threat in the Dark (16 hours)]

[A Promise to an Evil God (2 Days)]

[The Alliance's Revenge (3 Days)]

......

It was 6 p.m. Qiu Tu arrived at Secretary Bai's detached villa in the New Territories 10 minutes early.

Perhaps knowing that this conversation was too sensitive and too important, Secretary Bai did not arrange for anyone to be on duty near the villa, and even the maids in the house were sent out.

Seeing this, even though Qiu Tu still harbored other fantasies, he could roughly guess the outcome.

Standing outside Secretary Bai's villa, Qiu Tu sighed slightly, then touched the "Gold-Loving Wallet" hidden on his body and calculated the cooldown time of his Cataclysmic Ability.

After confirming that all means of survival and combat were in place, Qiu Tu stepped into Secretary Bai's villa.

As soon as we entered Secretary Bai's villa, we heard the melodious sound of a piano.

The music was gentle and casual, as if expressing the owner's calm state of mind.

Qiu Tu stopped and listened quietly to the music for a while until the piece was finished before slowly walking inside.

As if he had been waiting for Qiu Tu, Secretary Bai placed his hands on the piano, turned his back to Qiu Tu, and said softly without turning his head, "Actually... you should have come earlier."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "It's not too late to come now."

Secretary Bai chuckled, stood up, gestured to Qiu Tu, and then led Qiu Tu to the living room.

On the way to the living room, Secretary Bai asked pointedly, "Aren't you afraid I've laid ambushes all over the house?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu replied calmly, "I agree to sleep with Director Tang tonight."

Hearing Qiu Tu's seemingly nonsensical yet somehow correct answer, Secretary Bai paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

He reached out and pointed at Qiu Tu in the air, "You, you're always so unrestrained, never knowing how to speak properly."

After saying that, he shook his head and reminded them, "I don't mind hearing these words. But if your subordinates hear them, will you still have any image in their eyes?"

Listening to Secretary Bai's friendly conversation and guidance, Qiu Tu chuckled twice, then cut to the chase, "So, now that you've sided with the evil god, do you have a better image in my eyes?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Secretary Bai chuckled.

He shook his head and retorted, "Sworn to the evil god? What nonsense are you spouting?"

As they were talking, the two of them walked into the living room.

Secretary Bai's villa is decorated in an elegant and grand style. The overall color scheme is predominantly gray and white, with cashmere carpets on the floors, Impressionist murals on the walls, and simple yet stylish ceiling lights. It has a postmodern feel reminiscent of Qiu Tu's past life.

Compared to Yan Chen's "gloomy" style and Tang Feifei's simple style, Secretary Bai's decorating style is Qiu Tu's favorite and most comfortable place to stay.
