Then let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh.

He said, "It's normal not to understand it. This isn't a book suitable for you."

"Even I find it very difficult to understand."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Tangtang, unusually, had the courage to disagree. She lowered her head and said timidly, "But... I want to understand you a little more."

Seeing that the girl was unusually persistent, Qiu Tu didn't discourage her enthusiasm.

Moreover, the image of a beautiful woman adding fragrance to one's sleeve while reading by candlelight is a cherished tale in itself. So Qiu Tu simply picked up the book "Existence" from the table, hugged the girl, and began to read and explain it to her.

In the quiet night, in the dimly lit study, a perfect couple is engrossed in reading, creating an atmosphere of harmony and warmth, a sense of serene beauty.

Hmm... except for La Ri Luo, who is still possessing Fang Tang Tang.

Since possessing Fang Tangtang's body last night, La Riluo has been quietly dormant, maintaining her own consciousness.

It wasn't until Qiu Tu returned home that she sensed the presence of the Cataclysmic Being and slowly woke up.

When La Riluo woke up, she also figured out the situation: Qiu Tu was back, and Fang Tangtang was wearing a silk nightgown and hadn't gone to sleep yet!

All of this made Lariro extremely excited!

She felt that it was time for her to regain her strength!

With Qiu Tu's boundless energy and numerous mistresses, and Fang Tangtang's alluring figure, it was no surprise that the two of them were destined for passion and began to have an affair.

And as long as the two begin to "procreate," she can draw power from it to restore her soul!

If the two of them had done it a few more times, she probably wouldn't be so weak.

So she waited and waited.

When Qiu Tu held Fang Tangtang in his arms; when Qiu Tu gently caressed and stroked Fang Tangtang's shapely body; when Qiu Tu stopped reading...

But... to everyone's surprise, Fang Tangtang didn't agree. Instead, she continued to invite Qiu Tu to read books.

At that moment, Larilu really strained her back.

She was starting to lose her temper.

She really wanted to crack open Fang Tangtang's pretty little head and take a look!

She felt that if she had Fang Tangtang's figure, her dress neckline could be slit all the way down to her navel!

She changed her clothes eight times a day to seduce Qiu Tu!

Make sure Qiu Tu can never get out of bed again!

So when La Riluo saw Fang Tangtang and Qiu Tu reading by candlelight late into the night, she was so angry she almost fainted.

And so, the three of them—two reading, one angry—stood out in the long, dark night.

It wasn't until 2 a.m. that Fang Tangtang fell asleep in Qiu Tu's arms. Qiu Tu then smiled, shook his head, picked her up in a princess carry, and took her back to the bedroom...

Qiu Tu gently placed Fang Tangtang on the bed, covered her with a thin blanket, and turned off the light.

He then strolled out of the room, turned on the eavesdropping jammer, took out a special communicator, and started making a phone call with Qin Shuman.

Once the call connected, Qiu Tu asked, "How narrowed down has the scope been?"

Qin Shuman sounded a little tired as she said, "We're at about 87 square kilometers now."

"The main limiting factors for our speed are the intervals between 'homogeneous compasses,' the speed at which regions are divided, and the speed of the vehicles."

"We must reach the approximate center of an area, control Zheng Tao to use the 'Same Origin Compass,' and then, based on the compass needle's direction, narrow down the area by half."

"During this period, we had to drive around, divide the area, and it was incredibly tedious and troublesome."

Hearing Qin Shuman's complaint, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Making great contributions definitely requires tedious and troublesome steps."

He did a quick calculation and said, "At this rate, we should be able to roughly pinpoint Larilu's location by noon tomorrow at the latest."

Qin Shuman hummed in agreement. "Six more times, and we'll narrow it down to about 1.5 square kilometers. That should make the search much easier."

"If that's the case, it will probably take another 9 hours, which means it will be around 11 o'clock tomorrow."

"If that area is special, we may need to come back a few more times."

"But at the latest, we should be able to find Lariro by tomorrow night."

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement and then said, "Good luck."

The two chatted for a bit more along this topic. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, Qin Shuman said, "By the way, I have some information to share with you."

"To prevent Zheng Tao from having any other means of contacting Lariluo, we conducted a special interrogation of him before assigning him the mission."

"He seemed to have already broken down psychologically, so we didn't need to use many methods to get the whole picture taken."

According to him, he actually met Lariro three years ago when he came to the New Territories, which was then a disaster zone, to carry out a mission.

"At the time, he came to the New Territories to conduct a reconnaissance mission. While investigating the underground gangs under his jurisdiction, he fell in love with a woman."

"But the woman wasn't very interested in him, so she always treated him coldly."

“He’s a high-achieving student from the shelter, how could he possibly tolerate such humiliation? Coincidentally, during the investigation, he discovered that the woman’s family had connections with underground gangs.”

"So he used this as leverage to force that woman to be with him."

"But feelings are a strange thing. Even if you coerce a woman into staying by your side, she still won't love you if she doesn't love you."

"Zheng Tao tried every possible method to win this woman's heart, but all to no avail."

"As a result, at this time, he inadvertently learned that the evil god Lariro in the New Territories City had the ability to make women fall in love with him."

"Therefore, he went to great lengths to contact Lariro. He obtained two bottles of 'Rosemary Aphrodisiac' from Lariro in exchange for his [future offspring] and [loyalty]."

"Afterwards, with the added benefit of the 'rosemary aphrodisiac' and his relentless efforts, he finally won this woman's heart."

"But... if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. This woman's changes may have been kept secret from others, but not from her own family."

"After the woman's family discovered her abnormal behavior, they suspected that Zheng Tao had used some evil secret arts. So they threatened to go to General Ye and Yu Zhengyi and Bai Yu, who represented the Investigation Bureau, to report Zheng Tao."

"Zheng Tao had no choice but to go all the way and wipe out the woman's entire family, then set them on fire."

"Because this murder and arson case occurred after the Great Purge, when the New Territories were in great chaos, he deceived women and officials, saying that it was done by thugs roaming the New Territories."

"After that, he casually killed a few gang remnants to take the blame and closed the case."

At this point, Qin Shuman paused for a moment, then said, "You should know who this woman is."

Upon hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Tan Huimin?"

Qin Shuman hummed in agreement and said, "Yes. It's Zheng Tao's ex-wife, Tan Huimin."

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu rubbed his temples, recalling the information Qin Shuman had provided to him regarding Zheng Tao.

As far as I remember, Zheng Tao and Tan Huimin did meet, get to know each other, and fall in love a few years ago when General Ye was sweeping through the New Territories. Later, Tan Huimin's family was indeed attacked by thugs, resulting in their deaths. She then had no choice but to return to the shelter with Zheng Tao. (Chapter 225)

At the time, Qiu Tu also felt something was strange, or guessed Zheng Tao's role in it.

However, having witnessed Tan Huimin's love for Zheng Tao, Qiu Tu assumed that the two were genuinely in love.

Unexpectedly... there was such a hidden story behind all of this.

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu didn't know whether to marvel at Zheng Tao's twisted love for Tan Huimin or to criticize Zheng Tao's ruthlessness.

This person is ruthless to colleagues, ruthless to subordinates, ruthless to himself, ruthless to his lover, and ruthless to his lover's family...

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt a little fortunate: luckily, he was the type of person who habitually killed his enemies with a single punch.

Otherwise, if Zheng Tao were given a chance to catch his breath and recover, he might become the target of a venomous snake.

Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu's mind was filled with the image of Tan Huimin. He truly hadn't expected this woman's background to be so tragic.

Her family was harmed by Zheng Tao, and even her sincere feelings were the result of being controlled by rosemary.

Qiu Tu knew the potency of this drug. It was so potent that it distorted the mind, making it impossible to discern whether the woman's love stemmed from the drug or from him...

Zheng Tao actually used two bottles of "rosemary aphrodisiac" on Tan Huimin.

For a moment, Qiu Tu felt a pang of sympathy for Tan Huimin's plight.

He stood by the window in the corridor, holding his communicator, and gazed silently at the night view outside for a while, lost in thought...

He felt that perhaps... Zheng Tao's death could have been more meaningful.

After thinking quietly for a while, Qiu Tu turned around and went back to his room.

Inside the room, Fang Tangtang was still fast asleep. Qiu Tuyue changed out of her uniform and into pajamas, then hugged her and also fell into a deep sleep.

But what he didn't know was that after he fell asleep...

La Riluo's figure slowly emerged from Fang Tangtang's body.

Larilu looked at Qiu Tu in disbelief, then at the special communicator that Qiu Tu had placed on the bedside table!

Although Qiu Tu went out when she made the phone call, and although she used an anti-eavesdropping device,... that device couldn't detect her thoughts!

Therefore, La Riluo heard and took to heart everything Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman said.

'The security department has detained Zheng Tao and is using the "Same Origin Compass" to track me down?!'

'Damn it!'

'And the area has already been narrowed down to tens of square kilometers?'

And then he thought about how he had gotten nothing tonight and was now so weak that he couldn't even leave the house.

For a moment, Lari's expression became somewhat ambiguous.

She tried hard to think of a way to break the deadlock.

A moment later, her eyes lit up, and she had an idea...

The "Same Origin Compass" detects "same origin" auras, not "evil god" auras, so any aura that is of the same origin as oneself will be detected.

Now that he has broken free from Yama's domain, he can plant his evil god mark on small flying insects, birds, or even animals.

This caused them to scatter throughout the New Territories.

In this way, the "Same Origin Compass" will detect its own aura in every direction. Wouldn't that make it impossible to narrow down the search area and pinpoint its own location?!

Thinking about this, Larilu felt like a genius.

However, although a solution to the crisis has been found, there is still one major problem that has not been solved—La Riro has no power at all.

She needs to get Qiu Tu and Fang Tangtang to "procreate" in order to regain some of her power and thus plant the mark of the evil god...

For a moment, looking at the two sleeping people, Larilu really wanted to wake them up and have them perform for her...

We need to find a way to get them to "exercise in the morning"....

......

The next morning.

Qiu Tu woke up in a comfortable, warm state.

For some reason, Qiu Tu felt that Fang Tangtang's temperament seemed a little different this morning.

It seems to have lost a bit of its naivety and innocence, and gained a bit of wicked charm and allure?

However, these strange thoughts only flashed through Qiu Tu's mind for a moment.

At a time like this, he couldn't think of anything else.

So Qiu Tu didn't think much of it and simply put all those strange thoughts out of his mind.

However, I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Qiu Tu felt that Fang Tangtang's temperament had changed again at that moment.

She seemed to have transformed back into that innocent and adorable girl from her previous seductive and alluring state.

What's even stranger is that her eyes are blank, as if she doesn't know what's going on. And she has a languid, just-woke-up feel to her...
