Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

"What, is there a problem?"

Seeing Lin Tianxia looked stunned, Lu Li asked in a considerate manner.

"Uh, no, I just feel that the speed of your investigation, Mr. Lu, is a bit beyond this old man's imagination..." Lin Tianxia explained quickly.

Lu Li shrugged and threw out a few props.

After confirming that there were no other people lurking in the meeting room, he spoke with confidence:

"Old man, actually before I entered the job transfer secret realm, I already knew that there would be pregnant women with unknown origins entering the major shelters."

"Oh~~~ I see. No wonder it happened so fast..." Lin Tianxia smiled innocently, then his expression froze and his eyes widened:

"W-what?! Mr. Lu, you already knew everything that would happen before you entered the job transfer secret realm?!!"

Lu Li nodded lightly.

Lin Tianxia uttered "ah" several times, staggered backwards, and almost fell to the ground.

He asked in great confusion:

"Then why didn't you inform me in advance? Even if I, Lin Tianxia, ​​am incompetent, I can at least take some precautions!"

"At least, at least the Lin family won't have so many deaths like they are now!"

Because he was too excited, Lin Tianxia unconsciously raised his voice by three points.

Lu Li remained calm, with little emotion on his face.

He did not directly answer Lin Tianxia's question, but said to himself:

"Old man, suppose there is a high-speed tram on the track, and there are two forked tracks not far from it."

"There were ten people tied to one track and one person tied to the other track."

"Suppose now you have the wrench to change the trajectory."

"The track was moved and the tram crushed ten people to death."

"If you don't move the track, the tram will crush someone to death."

"What would you choose?"

Lin Tianxia took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried to follow Lu Li's train of thought.

After a moment's silence, he asked stubbornly:

"Can't we avoid death? For example, let the train brake and not drive onto the forked track."

"Of course." Lu Li raised his eyebrows:

"That's the third option. The train will overturn due to sudden braking, killing everyone on the train."

"I..." Lin Tianxia felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word for a while.

After a long while, he murmured:

"If I have to choose one out of three options, I would rather choose to crush someone to death!"

"That way, at least the ten people on the other track and everyone in the tram can survive!"

Lu Li spread his hands:

"Your choice, old man, is the same as mine."

"That's why I investigated the threat a long time ago but didn't inform you immediately."

"But how is this possible?" Lin Tianxia's eyes were still full of doubt, but his emotions had calmed down and he was not as excited as before:

"The train problem is an absolute hypothesis, but the monster invasion is a real threat that happens in reality."

"Isn't there a better way? I still don't believe that your early warning of the threat will lead to greater casualties!"

"I know you won't believe it, so I set up a control group in advance." Lu Li leaned back in his chair and said slowly:

"I have warned the Tu family in advance. You can wait and see whether their casualties and losses are as small as you expected."

"Tu family?" Lin Tianxia was stunned.

He immediately recalled the scene yesterday afternoon when Tu Fu, the head of the Tu family, came to chat with him privately for no apparent reason.

"So, Patriarch Tu came to me to confirm whether you had given the Lin family a warning..."

"But the Tu family directly killed those pregnant women! Although it caused dissatisfaction among the clan members, there have been no casualties so far."

Lin Tianxia looked at Lu Li with suspicion:

"How do you explain this?"

"The time has not come yet." Lu Li dug his ears:

"This group of monsters came from Sakura. They are the vanguard troops to open up the battlefield in the southeast region of China."

"Now that she has been killed by the Tu family, do you think Yinghua will let it go?"

"Uh, no..." Lin Tianxia choked and said indignantly:

"Then can't we just strike first? Is China going to be bullied by that little Sakura?!"

"Of course not." Lu Li raised his voice and said seriously:

"But did we have the strength to cause trouble before? This is not the end of the world, where we can solve the problem with a gust of east wind!"

"Sakura, who was able to create a monster advance team, must have hidden deep strength. If you act rashly, you will only end up making things worse."

Lin Tianxia took several deep breaths, but in the end he couldn't think of any valid rebuttal.

In the end, he could only sigh and murmur like a deflated ball:

"So... we can only take a long-term view?"

"No need." Lu Li's tone became relaxed again, with even a hint of a smile on his face.

Lin Tianxia was completely confused:

"No, Mr. Lu, didn't you just say that we don't have the strength to cause trouble to others?"

"Yes." Lu Li nodded and emphasized:

"But that was 'before'."

"Now, I have completed my job transfer."

Lin Tianxia's eyes gradually widened, and a light of surprise gradually rose in his pupils.

"So Mr. Lu, what you mean is that we should unite with the Chinese government to defeat Xiaoyinghua?"

Lu Li curled his lips and pretended to be angry:

"Old man, you don't believe in my strength?"

The surprise in Lin Tianxia's eyes turned into horror:

"Mr. Lu, you want to go alone?!"

"This is too dangerous, you absolutely cannot do that!"

"I also think it's not safe to go alone, so I came to discuss it with you." Lu Li brought the topic back to the starting point and smiled gently:

"I plan to ask you to bring a few people to accompany me..."

After a secret discussion.

Lu Li left the meeting room with brisk steps.

He still has something very important to do.

Although they acted according to the omen this time, the overall losses of the Lin family were kept to the minimum.

But many people still died.

Most of them could not wait for the purification of the 'Holy System' talent, and voluntarily used the [Thorn Blood Talisman] to self-destruct to block the monsters.

A small number were killed on the spot by monsters and suffered "deep erosion".

They are all descendants of the Lin family and have strong character.

It is just right as a supplement for the soul guard after the job change.

As for the former, Lu Li only needs to get close to those thorn bushes to devour their souls.

After the successful job change, his [Soul Devourer] has reduced the probability of failure to zero, 100% success!

So there is no need to worry about missing anything.

On the contrary, it was the corpses that were "deeply corroded" that gave Lu Li a headache.

I don’t know to what extent the evil spirit can pollute the soul.

If it is only slightly polluted, it will not be a problem.

At best, you can use [Holy Barrier] to nourish it for two days and it will be fine;

But if it is deeply eroded, or has simply turned into a shadow monster that has lost its mind,

Then even if [Soul Devouring] succeeds, you can only give up with great pain.

After all, the spread of demonization between souls is faster and more difficult than between entities.
