Then let them offer their loyalty!

The outcome was at this critical moment.

Suddenly! A flash appeared before Qiu Tu's eyes.

The next second, lines of notifications appeared in his field of vision!

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced at the prompt in front of him!

"Crisis triggered: 'Lahiro's Revenge'! Crisis report generated!"

"The evil god Lariro, who is now only a wisp of soul and consciousness, has infiltrated your side and possessed your mistress, Fang Tangtang."

"She needs a great deal of power from the 'reproduction' pathway to replenish her weakened soul."

"Only then can the evil god's mark be used on various small animals to distract the Security Bureau from their pursuit."

"Only after recovering to a certain extent will he be able to contact his older sister, Zehime, and be resurrected!"

"To do this, she had to expend her last bit of strength to manipulate Fang Tangtang's body while she was fast asleep, to 'serve' you and arouse your desires..."

"A deity forced to serve a mortal. For her, this was almost unforgivable!"

"Plus the old grudges, she's decided that after absorbing enough 'reproductive' power and being resurrected, she'll seek revenge on you!"

"Therefore, please be careful to provide her with the power of 'reproduction' so that she cannot be resurrected, or so that she gives up her hatred for you."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't want to know the consequences of being hated by an evil god..."

After reviewing all the crisis alerts, Qiu Tu quickly analyzed all the information provided by his [Crisis Sense] using his brain.

Follow the clues given by the crisis sense.

Larilu is indeed "living" as a wisp of a soul. Moreover, she is now so weak that she is even weaker than an ordinary living being.

So in order to regain her power, she hid herself in Fang Tangtang, who was beside her, preparing to absorb the cataclysmic power from herself and Fang Tangtang.

She had originally planned to proceed gradually. However, last night she overheard her conversation with Qin Shuman and learned that the security department was after her.

To avoid being caught by the security department, she had to recover some of her strength, so she had to "personally take the stage" and seduce herself.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but hiss as he finally realized: So, it was La Ri Luo who was serving him just now?

The thought that the high and mighty deity was actually serving him made Qiu Tu feel even more agitated.

It was precisely because of this service that Larilu harbored a grudge against him, plotting to kill him once she regained her power.

This is probably why "crisis sense" didn't trigger last night but did this morning—Lariro didn't intend to kill her last night. "Crisis sense" didn't detect any crisis.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu didn't care at all.

Larilu could only take revenge on him if she regained her power! And would Qiu Tu give her that opportunity?

of course not!

Through the "crisis sense" alert, Qiu Tu also realized that it wouldn't be possible for La Riluo to be resurrected simply by him and Fang Tangtang "reproducing" once.

The two of them had to perform this many times before Lariro could gradually regain her strength.

As for the fact that after Larilu regained some of her power, she would plant the mark of the evil god on some small animals, interfering with the security department's search... Qiu Tu didn't care at all.

What is the security department's search for? Isn't it still to find Lariro?

Now that I've found Lariro, why bother searching for her?

My most important task right now is to keep her calm and secure!

After all, although Lariro is currently vulnerable, it seems she can still escape.

He wasn't strong enough, and he couldn't see her anywhere. If she noticed anything was wrong, she might just run away.

After finishing his morning exercise, Qiu Tu got up.

While rinsing, Qiu Tu was also thinking about what he should do next.

Although he couldn't see Lariluo, Qiu Tu guessed that Lariluo should have recovered some of her strength.

But this amount of power should only allow her to plant the evil god's mark on small animals, thus diverting the security department's search.

Therefore, Qiu Tu now has two choices.

First, after leaving home today, I will immediately contact Qin Shuman and have the security department take over La Riluo.

Secondly, instead of immediately informing the security department of Lariel's whereabouts, we should try to see if we can brainwash Lariel and make her believe in herself again.

Thus, he achieved his goal of "possessing her for himself".

After that, regardless of how much more profit they could extract from her, such as methods to control the "Boundless Heart Sea" region;

Or perhaps we should use her as the best bargaining chip to exchange for a promotion opportunity;

Qiu Tu can choose whatever he wants...

The sound of rushing water filled the valley room, and the rising steam gradually obscured Qiu Tu's figure...

......

Meanwhile, in the bedroom.

Lariro's consciousness was also proceeding according to her own plan, beginning to plant the mark of an evil god on some flying insects.

As she planted, she smiled wickedly, 'I originally thought Qiu Tu was all show and no substance, all bark and no bite. Turns out he's actually quite capable.'

'In just one hour, the humidity in the bedroom seems to have increased significantly.'

'Tsk tsk.'

'It wasn't in vain....'

Reflecting on this, perhaps triggered by memories of her "dining" earlier, Larilu paused, her face turning green.

She gave a soft snort, quickened the process of imprinting the evil god's mark, and then muttered viciously in her mind.

'Once I regain my strength... you will all die!'

.......

After taking a shower, Qiu Tu went to the bedroom to check on Fang Tangtang and La Riluo.

Fang Tangtang is still asleep, and as for La Riluo... she is still nowhere to be seen.

Qiu Tu didn't pay any attention. He went downstairs to have breakfast as usual, then went out, got into his car, and went to the Investigation Department.

After arriving at the Investigation Department's parking lot, Qiu Tu did not rush upstairs.

He told the driver to go back to the investigation department first, while he waited patiently.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I calculated the time and realized it should be past the time for the security department to "shrink the circle" again.

Qiu Tu picked up the specially made communicator and made a call to Qin Shuman.

When the call connected, Qin Shuman's irritable voice came through the receiver, "What do you mean by 'suspected multiple targets'!"

"What do you mean by saying that there are radishes everywhere in the New Territories now?!"

"Is the Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm broken, or are you all out of your minds!?"

"Check the Noble Phantasm immediately, and get back to me as soon as you have any information!"

Hearing Qin Shuman's agitated voice, Qiu Tu gently reminded her, "Shuman, your mind is in turmoil."

Qiu Tu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Qin Shuman's head, instantly calming her down.

She took a deep breath, first apologizing to Qiu Tu and asking him to wait a moment. Then, she apologized to her subordinates and calmly reassigned tasks to deal with the unexpected situation.

After everything was arranged, Qin Shuman picked up the communicator wearily and said to Qiu Tu, "Sigh... I've been staying up for several nights in a row. I'm not feeling well."

"An unexpected situation suddenly arose, and I couldn't control my temper for a moment. I'm sorry you had to see that."

Qiu Tu never hesitated to show his care and concern when a woman needed it. So he gently comforted her, "That's understandable."

"After all, you were the one who proposed this 'Evil God Capture Plan,' so you must be under a lot of pressure."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words of comfort, Qin Shuman felt much better.

She forced a smile on the other end of the phone and said, "By the way, did you call me because you have some news?"

At this point, she jokingly added, "I hope what you're telling me is good news, not bad news."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu, who was sitting in the car, smiled.

He said, "That's really good news."

Qin Shuman asked curiously, "Good news?"

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement and then said, "You can apply to the shelter now to have them allocate experts, technicians, and even Tier 3 or 4 Cataclysmic Masters."

Qin Shuman was stunned when she heard Qiu Tu's words.

She reflexively said, "But we haven't found Larilu yet."

She said, "Qiu Tu, you may not be aware of the current situation. This morning we reduced La Riluo's activity area to about 6 square kilometers."

"Just when we were about to shrink the area to 3 square kilometers, the 'homogeneous compass' seemed to malfunction. It detected multiple homologous targets."

"Moreover, some of these homologous targets are within the current sphere, while others are outside of it."

"The furthest aura was over ten kilometers away."

"This is practically telling us that all our previous efforts have been in vain!"

"Therefore, we can only hope that the 'Compass of the Same Origin' hasn't broken down."

"Otherwise... our entire plan might fail."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu smiled and repeated, "What I mean is that you can now apply to the shelter and carry out your plan."

If Qiu Tu's initial statement was a slip of the tongue, Qin Shuman immediately realized his mistake after he repeated it twice.

She couldn't help but recall Qiu Tu's many heroic feats of turning the tide and achieving victory against all odds, and then she was momentarily stunned.

After a moment, she tentatively asked, "Qiu Tu... have you found La Ri Luo?"

Qiu Tu didn't answer Qin Shuman's question directly, but instead said, "Shuman, can I trust you?"

Qin Shuman was silent for a moment before solemnly saying, "I can only say that I will not betray you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu then said, "I did indeed find La Ri Luo."

“But… since I found Lariro, I’d like to change your plan.”

"I hope to collaborate with your Security Department, on behalf of the Special Branch of the New Territories City Investigation Department, to implement this 'Exploring the Boundless Sea of ​​the Mind' project."

"Of course, I only want the title. The actual execution will still be your responsibility."

"What I can guarantee is that Lariro will not return during your expansion and will not affect your plans."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment and said, "Of course, once this plan is submitted in the name of our two departments, we're all in the same boat, and we can't possibly sabotage the plan on purpose."

"Therefore, you can completely trust us."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.

After a moment, she slowly said, "You... want to get promoted again through this plan?"

"Once the 'Boundless Ocean of the Heart' project is approved, New Territories City will immediately attract the attention of all forces within the Eighth Sanctuary."

“At that time, various forces and departments will send people. As the initiators of the plan, the Security Department and the Political Department will definitely need someone who can take the lead.”

"Currently, the candidate for Minister of the Special Branch of the New Territories City has not yet been selected. In order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, the shelter will send back the other two ministerial candidates and then let you take charge of the work."

"In a situation that could affect the entire shelter, or even the entire human landscape, a mere political minister is far too insignificant. The shelter will not be stingy with this arrangement."

Hearing Qin Shuman's analysis, Qiu Tu smiled and agreed, "That's exactly right."

He said, "Actually, it was you who inspired me."

"General Ye and Director Dai both attach great importance to this plan, which clearly shows that the plan's influence is extremely terrifying."

"If this plan can promote them both, then it should be able to promote us both as well."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if you became the head of the security department and I became the head of the political department?"

Qin Shuman was amused by Qiu Tu's words.

Perhaps because Lariro was "lost and found", her mood improved a lot.

She frankly said, "Actually... when I gave you the plan and asked you to participate, I had the selfish intention of helping you along the way."

"However, this plan is ultimately a military project, and I cannot risk causing internal conflict by forcing you to cooperate."
