I played the world alone

Chapter 82 I'm Waiting For Someone
"It's still far from being a real caller."

The old man let out a laugh as if looking at a frog at the bottom of a well, and with a snap of his fingers, the wind and water disappeared.

"These are just small spells that I have slowly figured out because I have lived for too long. If it is my master, these are just small tricks."

"Master, an old man who was able to use inconceivable spells a hundred years ago to go to the heaven to seek delicacy, travel with the gods, save the common people, punish rape and eliminate evil, that is the real cultivator!"

His eye socket wrinkles, which were folded like tree bark, were slightly opened, and his eyes revealed reverence and yearning.

"Is there really heaven and hell in this world?!"

Xu Xun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help asking a question with a solemn expression.

"There should be." The old man firmly believed, "Although I have not been there in person, I have seen with my own eyes that my master has gone to heaven."

"I don't know who your master is, senior?" Xu Xun was very curious about the mysterious and powerful existence that the other party said.

"This should be another question." The old man shook his head, "I still have something to ask you."

Although Xu Xun was very curious, he still held back and said respectfully, "Senior, please ask."

The old man looked at him and the subordinates who were waiting for orders not far away, his eyes sparkled, as if he was looking at something.

"I see that you are just ordinary people. You have no trace of cultivation on your body, and you don't know anything about cultivating the Tao. How did you know about spiritual energy?"

Xu Xun had anticipated this question and prepared a draft.

"Because in fact, before you, we met a mysterious immortal cultivator who said that the world is about to recover its spiritual energy..."

He gave a brief account of what happened to him when he met Yue Ze before. Of course, some things that may involve confidentiality, such as vampires, were skipped.

"There are indeed other practitioners in the world!"

The old man's eyes lit up immediately, and his mood swings were obviously much bigger than before.

But after a long time, his emotions regained his composure, and he closed his eyes and raised his head to sigh.

"It turns out that the answer is that the aura of the world today is exhausted, so practitioners are hiding in other places. No wonder we have been searching for so many years in this world, but in the end we found nothing."

Xu Xun carefully savored what the other party said, and felt that the amount of information in it was quite large.

But more importantly, he already felt that the other party's attitude had softened a bit, and he was no longer as repulsive as before.

He immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Since this is the case, senior, you must also hope to get to know more people of the same kind! Then here, as the current head of the Special Operations Department, I sincerely invite you to join me!"

He stood up, standing erect.

"Here, we have the power of our entire country as a guarantee. Today is different from the past. The technology of the new world now far surpasses that of the old era. This is an era where even cultivators can't do whatever they want!"

"I believe it won't be long before more and more extraordinary people will choose to join us."

"Then, you who joined our department have a legitimate reason to meet with many practitioners, communicate with each other and make progress together."

"Join us?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, and as expected, he did not immediately deny it, but pondered for a while.

Xu Xun could probably guess what the other party was worried about, and immediately added solemnly: "Please rest assured, we will not use your power to harm ordinary people casually, and you can stay here in the future, as long as we need you to come forward."

"And as compensation, in addition to the generous monthly salary, we will send people to negotiate with the local government on this mountainous area, and reserve a part of it as a characteristic scenic spot without affecting the project."

"And more importantly, we invite people with special powers like you to join, and it is definitely not for personal gain, but for the common people in the world!"

Xu Xun has a serious face and a sonorous voice.

"If spiritual recovery really exists, the whole world will soon fall into chaos!"

"And our country is no exception, and the situation may even be worse because of the population density. In this case, if none of us officials have any countermeasures, the peace of this society and the safety of people's lives may be in jeopardy!"

As he spoke, he stared at the other party's reaction.

It can be seen from the previous information that the other party is definitely not a cruel and evil person, on the contrary, he is a very kind and helpful person.

Otherwise, he would not take the initiative to protect those ordinary people who have nothing to do with him in the era of gunfire.

Although these reasons sound like a bit of moral kidnapping, seeing that chaos will appear at an unknown time, he must adopt various means.

After a long time, under his gaze, the old man finally reacted, sighed, and nodded.

"If it's what you said, then it doesn't matter if I join your department."

"With my meager strength, if I can really help the people of the world, I will be able to live up to Master's expectations."

As if relieved, Xu Xun immediately saluted: "Don't worry! With your participation, many people will be saved!"

Then, he looked around and seemed to estimate the distance.

"Since Senior has decided to live here, there will be no place to rest here after the villages below are demolished. As compensation, I will send people up the mountain to build a house tomorrow..."

The old man shook his head: "Then there's no need. Why bother wasting people and money? I've been here for decades, and I've always come here like this. If you change this, maybe it will make me uncomfortable instead."

He doesn't seem to care about these extraneous things.

"If you finish talking, go back earlier. When you need me to take action in the future, just come to me again."

As he spoke, the old man turned around again and looked up at the starry sky as before.

Based on the fact that the two sides have established a basically good relationship, Xu Xun took two steps forward and asked: "Dare to ask senior, what are you looking at?"

He followed the other party's gaze, and could only see a few twinkling stars, and because the weather was not very good, the visibility was very low.

There's really nothing worth seeing.

"Waiting for someone."

The old man stared intently at the horizon in one direction.

"Wait someone?"

"Wait for my master."

The old man murmured in a low voice, with a bit of melancholy in his voice, as if he was answering his words, or telling himself, but more like telling an ancient legend full of vicissitudes.

"Master once said that he didn't know how long it would take before he came back after he went to slay demons and demons. But as long as we registered disciples practice hard, he will come back and accept us as official disciples."

"It's just that I have been waiting for more than [-] years. For more than [-] years, I have been watching the place where he left every night, thinking that one day I will see him come back."

"But he... didn't come back after all."
