After all, no one knows if that wooden dragon will suddenly appear and attack the humans who want to gain control of this area!
After sorting through the information in the memory fragments, Qiu Tu shook his head to clear his mind. Then he looked at the "memory fragment (small)" he had obtained the day before yesterday.
Having just obtained such important intelligence and clues, Qiu Tu was already quite satisfied. Therefore, even if this "fragment of memory (small)" didn't contain any information, Qiu Tu wouldn't feel disappointed.
So he used this memory fragment (small) directly.
As Qiu Tu used this memory fragment, the next second, Qiu Tu's body froze, his eyes unfocused, as if he had been petrified...
Because there was no one else in the room, the entire lounge became incredibly quiet...
If someone happened to enter Qiu Tu's lounge, they would probably be startled by this bizarre scene...
After remaining still for a full 30 seconds, Qiu Tu's body suddenly relaxed.
He gasped for breath, as if he had just experienced something terrible. His previously unfocused eyes were now filled with surprise and disbelief!
'It's... the method for summoning a wooden dragon?'
'This wooden dragon was actually created by Zhao Ji from the body of the original wooden dragon that La Ri Luo was born from!'
'But as long as you know the corresponding incantation, you can awaken and summon it!'
'Although that wooden dragon possesses intelligence comparable to humans, it doesn't obey just anyone's summons.'
'But... is this difficult for me, especially for someone who controls Lariel?'
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's face showed a hint of surprise.
He has a million ways to extract information about the wooden dragon from Lariro and then try to control it!
If he succeeds, he will have an extra powerful fighting force when he goes to the "Boundless Heart Sea" to try to gain control of the New Territories!
It's important to understand that those vying for control of the New Territories are various factions or powerful families.
Their research teams sent to the "Boundless Heart Sea" were all guarded by third-tier experts.
Qiu Tu, a mere peak second-tier nobody, was no match for them at all.
Moreover, in the real world, everything revolves around positions and power. But in the boundless ocean of the mind, positions and power are utterly useless.
Strength reigns supreme!
Even if someone killed Qiu Tu inside, the Investigation Department and the Security Department would have no way to investigate.
Therefore, although he had been constantly gathering intelligence and seeking ways to gain control of the region, he had never once entered the "Boundless Sea of the Mind," and that was the reason!
But things are different now, if he can really control that wooden dragon.
A catastrophic creature at the peak of the third or even fourth tier, fighting on its home turf, and also a healer skilled in healing!
Putting everything else aside, Qiu Tu's safety is absolutely guaranteed, and he can easily explore that area and gain control of it!
Thinking this, Qiu Tu wished he could take La Riluo out of the safe right now and interrogate her properly using the interrogation methods of an "investigator" to get more information about "Wooden Dragon"!
So he jumped out of bed, quickly took a shower, and washed up. He then prepared to go downstairs to chat with Larilu.
As a result, I took the elevator to the 9th floor and returned to my office.
Qiu Tu hadn't even had a chance to check the safe yet.
There was a loud knocking on his office door.
Qiu Tu frowned slightly, stopped what he was doing, composed himself, and sat back down in his chair, softly calling out, "Please come in."
The next second, his subordinate, Guan Xiao, the head of the intelligence section, peeked in from outside and looked at Qiu Tu with a smile, "Sir~ you're at work?"
Qiu Tu: .....
To be honest, although he felt he didn't have much privacy, Qiu Tu genuinely felt that his subordinate's intelligence capabilities were top-notch.
After all, she was fully aware of her own actions.
Qiu Tu guessed that her cataclysmic abilities were likely similar to those of the little catgirl, and related to espionage, mimicry, and intelligence.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao, then waved and said, "Come in and let's talk."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao darted into the office and closed the door.
Seeing Guan Xiao like this, Qiu Tu leaned back in his chair and looked at her with deep eyes.
Guan Xiao turned around, walked up to Qiu Tu, and said with a grin, "Minister, please forgive my caution. Because... I have something very confidential to report to you."
Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Is it... related to Secretary Bai's death?"
Guan Xiao was not surprised by Qiu Tu's keen senses.
After all... the fact that she went from initially looking down on Qiu Tu to now being so willing to submit to him and even wanting to "win him over" means she must have an excellent understanding of Qiu Tu's abilities.
In her eyes, the officer in front of her was practically a prodigy. His ability to see into people's hearts and reason about the ins and outs of events was astonishing to everyone who came into contact with him.
Therefore, it's not surprising that Qiu Tu guessed it; it would be strange if he hadn't.
Thinking this, Guan Xiao nodded seriously, then whispered, "It's about Secretary Bai's suicide."
Qiu Tu wasn't surprised. He knew Lao Bai's character very well.
It's possible that Old White committed suicide, but it's a bit strange that he framed himself before doing so.
Moreover... during this period, Qiu Tu would actually visit Lao Bai whenever he had free time and chat with him.
Qiu Tu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Lao Bai was acting a little strange.
To be honest, if he didn't know Lao Bai's strength, he would have thought Lao Bai was about to "ascend to heaven"...
That detached state of mind, that indifference to life and death, made Qiu Tu feel that Lao Bai seemed to be plotting something.
So, when Qiu Tu heard about Lao Bai's suicide, his first reaction was disbelief. But then he wondered... was this suicide also part of Lao Bai's plan?
After all, this world possesses extraordinary powers. Moreover, the spiritual and the real worlds are intertwined.
Is death... really the end?
This is also why Qiu Tu didn't care about Lao Bai's death at all today.
Now that Guan Xiao seems to know some inside information, Qiu Tu can't help but become curious.
His gaze fell on Guan Xiao, and then he asked, "So, what useful information or clues have you obtained this time?"
Today, the woman was wearing a black uniform from the political department, with her hair in a high ponytail, looking neat and efficient.
But... unlike the previous times I saw her... her breasts seem to have shrunk a bit?
Whether she noticed Qiu Tu's gaze or not, a sly glint flashed in Guan Xiao's eyes. She placed her hand on Qiu Tu's desk, then leaned forward slightly and said to Qiu Tu, "Sir... let me tell you. Yesterday, Vice Minister Zhang secretly went to see Secretary Bai."
"Not long after, Secretary Bai hanged himself."
"And Secretary Bai did write a letter before committing suicide."
"But it's not the suicide note that framed you. It's your real last words."
"However, because I was worried that Vice Minister Zhang would sabotage it, I secretly moved it and hid it."
"As for the suicide note that framed you, it was also arranged by Vice Minister Zhang to be written and placed in Secretary Bai's guard room."
"He must have been instructed by Director Yan... oh no, he must have been instructed by the former director."
After saying that, Guan Xiao looked at Qiu Tu with a smug expression.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman, and her eyes exuded charm with every glance.
However... Qiu Tu's gaze was not drawn to her beauty in the slightest.
It's not that Qiu Tu is a virtuous gentleman. Nor is it that Qiu Tu is immersed in the inside story of Secretary Bai's death.
Instead... Qiu Tu's gaze was completely drawn to the inside of Guan Xiao's open uniform collar.
That vast softness, that deep cleavage, and that touch of pink...
'Holy crap! This woman is driving without a bra!'
'Seduction! Absolutely seduction!'
Following yesterday's incident where Guan Xiao deliberately didn't wear underwear in front of Qiu Tu, she's gone braless again today!
Qiu Tu took a deep look at the faintly visible beautiful scenery, and was about to ask a question.
Guan Xiao then giggled and winked at Qiu Tu, admitting it directly, "Sir~ you guessed right. I was worried you would peek at my underwear, so I simply didn't wear any."
After saying that, she raised her foxy eyes and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Qiu Tu: ....
------
Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Begging for guaranteed monthly votes at the beginning of the month!
Chapter 336 Old Bai Isn't Dead? (10,000 words, seeking monthly votes)
To be honest, Guan Xiao's question was a bit of a rhetorical one.
Among women's lunar mansion types, the teardrop shape is the most beautiful.
After all, the ominous type this month perfectly matches human aesthetics.
And Guan Xiao... just happens to possess this perfect Moon Fierce Type.
So, how dare she ask if it looks good?
If Qiu Tu hadn't wanted to maintain his superior's composure and prestige, he would have already reached out and touched that fair, smooth, soft skin...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced at the delicate skin again and said insincerely, "So-so."
Qiu Tu is a veteran actor with incredibly profound acting skills.
But... he was just too captivating. So even though his expression was perfect, his eyes betrayed him without hesitation.
Guan Xiao then covered her mouth and giggled.
With her laughter, her delicate skin rippled gently, like tofu, making one's blood rush a little.
This woman may seem a bit rough around the edges, but she's exceptionally good at knowing how to handle things.
After flirting with Qiu Tu, she straightened up, hiding her inner beauty behind her uniform, and then continued with the serious business.
She unbuttoned a few buttons on her uniform, then took an envelope from her pocket and placed it on the table.
Reaching out to take the envelope, Qiu Tu felt the faint scent of Guan Xiao lingering around his nose.
He composed himself and then quickly checked the envelope.
The envelope was sealed with sealing wax, and the words "To Qiu Tu" were written on the front.
Qiu Tu removed the sealing wax, then opened the envelope and took out a clean sheet of white paper.
The letter was written in neat, small characters, but contained only three sentences.
The first line is "Life is also death, and death is also life."
The second line is: "Life is a companion to death; death is the beginning of life."
The third line is... "See you in the boundless sea of the heart."
After reading this inexplicable letter, Qiu Tu had several questions on his mind.
The first two sentences of this letter are from Zhuangzi, reflecting Zhuangzi's insights on life and death.
The general idea is that life is merely the process of dying, while death is the beginning of life. It means that life and death are relative; where there is life, there is death.
However, when placed in this letter, and with the final phrase "See you in the boundless sea of the heart," the meaning becomes completely different...
'So... Old Bai really did deliberately let Yan Chen arrange for him to commit suicide?'
'Is his ability to cause cataclysm related to life and death?'
'Will he be resurrected in the boundless sea of the heart after his death?'
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu hesitated again.
He felt that Secretary Bai's abilities didn't seem to be simply related to life and death.
After all... if it were just a matter of life and death, Secretary Bai wouldn't need to go through such a roundabout way. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to just indulge in excessive sexual activity and die on a woman's belly?
And then, considering Secretary Bai's concern and help for him and Yan Chen, which was somewhat beyond what one would expect from people in chaotic times... Qiu Tu's heart stirred slightly.
'Could it be related to repaying a debt of gratitude?'
