Then let them offer their loyalty!

Now that I'm in a period of reflection, it's time to take a look.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu hugged Tan Huimin, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, and glanced at La Riluo, who was also digesting the power of the cataclysm. Then, he secretly tapped that small fragment of memory with his mind.

The next second, Qiu Tu's vision blurred as he entered La Riluo's memories.

When he regained consciousness, Qiu Tu found himself in a dense primeval forest.

Towering trees stood around him, their dense foliage blocking out most of the sky, leaving only dappled sunlight casting shadows on the ground.

The air was filled with the moist scent of earth and the unique fragrance of trees, and you could almost hear the clear, melodious sound of a babbling brook in the distance.

Qiu Tu strode forward, as if surveying his own territory.

And in fact... that is indeed the case.

Because, in Qiu Tu's senses, he felt that the primeval forest and the land in front of him seemed to have formed a strange connection with him.

The feeling was like... he was inextricably linked to this land; as long as he stood on this land, within this primeval forest, he was omnipotent...

'Is this... what it feels like to be a territory controller?'

Because memory fragments can perfectly recreate all the senses of the person at that time, Qiu Tu easily made his own judgment about the time of this memory—after killing the wooden dragon.

Moreover... Lariro should have just become the controller of the region.

Because in her memory, Larilu was happy about her sudden increase in strength.

After determining the time point of this memory, before Qiu Tu could continue his analysis...

The next second, he felt everything go black and the world spin.

When he came to his senses, he found himself back on his bed in the lounge on the 12th floor.

'That's way too fast...'

'As expected, fragmented memories (small ones) are indeed short-lived.'

As he reflected on this, Qiu Tu closed his eyes and recalled the brief memory fragment from earlier.

That clip was actually very short and contained no information whatsoever.

It was just a few seconds or so when Larilu walked through the primeval forest.

However... Qiu Tu felt as if he had missed some important information.

He thought and thought carefully.

A moment later, his eyes lit up, and he finally had an idea!

'It's a sensory connection! It's a sensory connection from the regional central control!'

Qiu Tu recalled the scenes from La Riluo's memories.

He not only felt a connection with that primeval forest and that land, but he also seemed to feel a connection with a distant "coordinate"!

That feeling was almost exactly the same as that of the primeval forest, the land in that area, as if they came from the same source!

Although Qiu Tu couldn't make a detailed identification due to the short time, his sixth sense told him that it was very likely the central hub of the entire Boundless Sea of ​​Mind region!

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's eyes were filled with astonishment!

So... there's actually a connection between the regional controller and the regional central authority?!

so.....

If I "beat up" Lariro a few more times, I can get a few more memory fragments out!

Moreover, those memory fragments are mostly memories from after Larilu controlled the New Territories region... so it would be very convenient for me to determine the location of that central hub?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that the sunshine today was much brighter! He even had more energy for work!

So Qiu Tu got up, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Qiu Tu put La Ri Luo back in his pocket, then took the elevator to the 9th floor, to his office in the Political Department.

He planned to retrieve intelligence from his department to check who in the New Territories City was currently of interest, and also to ascertain the progress of the shelter's development of "Boundless Heart Sea"...

As a result, just as he picked up the phone to call someone...

Suddenly, Lariro in his pocket spoke.

"Qiu Tu... Last night, Zhao Ji tried to take advantage of you. Did you really reject her because of me?"

Hearing Larilu's words, Qiu Tu replied nonchalantly, "Of course. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"At the time, I refused her verbally!"

“Tell me…that’s a different price!”

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then, based on the actual situation, casually made up a story, "At the time, Princess Zhao was a little angry, but she still offered her price."

"Control of a joint special operations team."

At this point, Qiu Tu said with a righteous expression, "But am I someone who can be so easily bought off?"

“My heart is entirely with you, Your Highness.”

"So, I firmly rejected her! And then she banished me from the Divine Realm..."

La Riluo listened quietly to Qiu Tu's story from his pants pocket, and then... remained silent for a long time.

Because...right in Qiu Tu's pants pocket, right in front of her, was an antique-looking coin, Zhao Ji's contact coin...

'Adulterous couple!'

Lari Luo's chest heaved violently a few times!

When she first saw the coin, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was a coin used to communicate with Qiu Tu.

However, she got bored staying in her pants and took a closer look at the coin.

She was shocked to discover that the coin wasn't her contact coin, but rather her sister Zhao Ji's.

Moreover... this coin is clearly not new, but old.

Combined with Qiu Tu's earlier explanation, she knew perfectly well that this was the contact information for the "Joint Special Forces Squad" that Zhao Ji had given to Qiu Tu!

'My sister is really generous...'

Although I had gradually come to believe Qiu Tu's story last night.

But once the connecting coins appeared, Lariro felt that everything was confirmed.

Her usually arrogant and aloof older sister was actually trying to steal her... followers, and then block her path to resurrection!

Unfortunately...

His older sister clearly didn't understand Qiu Tu's character.

That guy would never give up a whole forest for a single tree.

Therefore, her older sister was destined to do something futile.

Thinking this way, Larilu actually felt her mood improve a little.

However, now that her sister's path is blocked, Larilu can only think of other ways to restore her status and strength.

But... even her own sister won't help her, who else can?

Thinking this, La Riluo couldn't help but look up at Qiu Tu.

'Could it be... that I really have to rely on this man?'

......

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was unaware that the scheme he had set up the night before was slowly taking effect.

After answering Larilu's question, he picked up the landline, intending to call Chief Wang of the Intelligence Section to report on yesterday's new intelligence.

As a result, just as his hand touched the landline receiver, before he could even pick it up, the landline rang.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu picked up the landline and said a deep "hello".

Immediately, the voice of his ambitious and glamorous female subordinate came from the other end of the phone, "Hello? Minister~~ Are you free now?"

"I have some important information that I would like to report in detail to your office."

"Don't get the wrong idea~ It's really serious information."

------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each. Please vote with monthly tickets!!

Chapter 313 (10,000 words, please vote!)

If Guan Xiao hadn't added that last sentence, Qiu Tu wouldn't have thought much of it.

He immediately misunderstood OnePlus's last sentence.

Is this a report from the "stem"?

Should we delve deeper?

this....

I am a truly shrewd person.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu turned around and put La Riluo into the "Gold-Loving Wallet," then said to Guan Xiao on the other end of the phone, "Come on. I happen to have time."

Lariro is currently in a state of consciousness and soul. Apart from those who are Cataclysmic Beings of the third rank or above or those who have taken special drugs, no one else can see or hear her.

This is also why Qiu Tu dared to put La Ri Luo by his bedside last night.

However... just because others can't see or hear her speak doesn't mean she can't hear or see them.

Guan Xiao might reveal some confidential information this time, so it's best to be cautious.

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu put the "money-loving wallet" containing La Riluo into the safe in the lounge and returned to his office.

Guan Xiao arrived shortly after.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Please come in."

Guan Xiao walked in confidently through the door.

She had clearly dressed up carefully today; although she wore a black uniform from the political department, her makeup was incredibly exquisite. This made her, already a striking beauty, even more radiant and captivating!

Qiu Tu's gaze swept over her for a moment, a hint of appreciation appearing on his face.

This is a capable, ambitious, and intelligent person who knows how to leverage their strengths.

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Guan Xiao respectfully saluted him, "Good morning, Minister!"

Qiu Tu leaned back in his chair, gestured to the chair opposite him, and said, "Please sit down, Section Chief Guan."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao smiled and nodded, then sat down.

After sitting down, she asked, as if habitually gathering information and genuinely curious, "Sir, where is Secretary Tan?"

Why haven't I seen her today?

Qiu Tu paused for a moment.

Tan Huimin was stuffed until she was as soft as a puff pastry, but she was still fast asleep.

"Secretary Tan... she ate too much for breakfast and isn't feeling well, so she's taken the day off."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao smiled and brushed a stray hair from her cheek. Her silky smooth hair was tied into a high ponytail, making her look capable and neat.

"Oh, is that so...? Did you drink too much milk?"

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, making her appear both cunning and alluring.

Qiu Tu gave her a deep look.

With her makeup enhanced, the woman's features resembled a meticulously sculpted work of art. Coupled with her mature makeup and fiery red lips, she exuded a powerful aura, and of course... an irresistible allure.

Qiu Tu lingered on her red lips for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's cream. It's not as thin as milk."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao giggled, her chest heaving with laughter. "At the officer's rate, can you really squeeze out any more cream?"

"I don't believe it, I want to squeeze it myself."

Qiu Tu said seriously, "You're not a chef, why are you squeezing out cream? At most, I'll let you taste it."
