Bounty Hunter

Public opinion fermented quickly. As soon as the news of Kong Que's arrest spread across the Internet, the Academia Sinica changed to a new director, and the news that the new director was a young and new human being followed.

Someone with a heart linked these two things together and made a conspiracy theory, saying that there were actually undercover agents from the Anti-Hunter Association inside the Academia Sinica. They deliberately infiltrated into Kong Que's research team and pretended to be caught by hunter killers when they went out for investigation. After that, the hidden forces of the Anti-Hunter Association in the government and the high-level research institute forced Kong Que, who was helpless, to become a hostage for exchange.

Kong Que was kind-hearted, cared about his subordinates, and agreed to the exchange. He has been arrested for more than three months, and his life and death are unknown.

Now the optical network is directly paralyzed.

Kong Lan contacted Kong Que and asked him how he planned to deal with this matter. Kong Que pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Don't worry about it, let's see what the patriarch wants to do. In addition, send someone to track the abnormal movements on the optical network and investigate carefully. Don't let go of the source of every breaking news, any clues."

Kong Lan should go down.

Ten minutes later, the optical network returned to normal, and a new round of news broke out again.

A researcher broke the news, saying that the reason why Kong Que was sacrificed so easily was because his research project this time was very special. It was about the cultivation of ancient humans. It is said that preliminary research results have been obtained!The new humans were worried that Kong Que had really researched the cultivation method of the ancient humans, so they set up a trap to harm him!Otherwise, with Kong Que's status and background, how could he be sacrificed so easily as a hostage exchange?

After this revelation, more conspiracy theories came out.

About the recent frequent personnel changes of the Academia Sinica, about the abnormally slow efficiency of the Hunter Association and the government in eliminating the Anti-Hunter Association, about Kong Que’s long-silent Weibo... Finally, all the conspiracy theories went straight to the bottom. Pointing to one thing—maybe the Anti-Hunter Association has already been wiped out, maybe there is no Anti-Hunter Association in this world, all this is just a conspiracy by new humans to control society, oppress ancient humans secretly, and divert the attention of ancient humans...

The words ancient humans practiced directly blew the minds of all ancient humans, and then a series of conspiracy theories blinded everyone's eyes. The contradiction between new humans and ancient humans was completely torn apart in a sharp way. Because of Kong Que's arrest, the two parties were directly opposed in public opinion.

All the ancient humans turned red with anger.

From the end of the day to the present, the ancient humans have been eager to cultivate like the new humans and gain great strength. This is their obsession, and it is a flame that has never been extinguished in their hearts.

After waiting for thousands of years, they finally saw a glimmer of hope, but before this glimmer of hope could bear fruit, all of this was destroyed by the new humans!

How can this be, how can this be possible!Kong Que has helped the new humans so much, those people are actually... the new humans are shameless!

……

In the base bedroom, a video conference is in progress.

In a light screen in the upper left corner, Dean Zheng was leaning on the hospital bed, his face pale. Beside him, Zhong Lin was seriously peeling fruit.

"A lot of ancient human beings sat in and protested at the gate of the research institute today, and some ancient human researchers and peripheral staff who didn't know the inside story went on strike." In the light screen on the right, the vice president rubbed his brows with a headache when he saw that they were silent. "If I knew it earlier, I would have dealt with the group of undercover agents first, but if I kept them, they would make such a fuss."

Kong Que didn't answer his words, looked at Kong Lan on another screen, and asked, "Have you tracked down anything useful?"

Kong Lan sent a piece of information to several people, and replied: "With some clues, there are three sources of revelations: undercover agents that have been discovered in the research institute but have not been dealt with; undercover agents in the institute that have not been discovered before; optical network management The undercover agents of the department. These people have all been controlled, and Yashi is stepping up the interrogation."

Dean Zheng was exhausted: "There are still undiscovered undercover agents in the research institute. How many children have been deceived..."

"The patriarch's brainwashing ability is good. He is very smart. All the undercover agents and forces in his hands are separated independently, making it impossible for people to follow the clues." Kong Que flipped through the information that Kong Lan just sent, and asked again, "How about the guild?"

Kong Que disappeared. Kong Lan, as Kong Que's older brother and the head of the Hunter's Guild, was no less impacted by public opinion than the research institute.

Kong Lan leaned back in the chair and replied: "There is some commotion. You are my distant relative to the outside world, not your real brother. The patriarch is making a big fuss about this, and now it is spreading outside, saying that I believe you You are a younger brother to enslave you and control you. There is no way to explain this matter. In the eyes of people who don’t know the truth, letting you disappear for more than three months without being able to rescue you is the greatest evidence of my cold-blooded ruthlessness.”

"The contradiction is very sharp." Bailing said suddenly, glanced at them, and frowned, "The biggest problem now is not Kong Que's disappearance, but that the ancient humans no longer believe any government and hunter's guild's rhetoric. They firmly believe that everything is Conspiracy, everything we say is whitewashing peace, unless Kong Que comes forward to express his safety and explain everything in person, otherwise they will not calm down."

Dean Zheng was troubled: "But..."

"But I can't show up, I have to accompany the patriarch to continue acting." Kong Que answered.

"So this is an unsolvable situation." Commander Bailing breathed out, his tone tired, "Who is the patriarch? Why can't we dig him out!"

Kong Que asked: "Is there no clue about the investigation against the military?"

Baili, who had been silent all the time, replied: "No, there are few ancient humans in the high-level army. Most of them are civilians, and they can't get in touch with core things. The new humans who have been sacrificed and lost their power because of it are quite interesting. Some, but most have died, and those who are still alive have either retired from injury, relinquished power, or moved to less important positions."

Kong Que: "Continue to investigate, there must be some things that have been missed."

"Could it be..." Kong Lan said suddenly, her voice was a bit cold, "Besides the known ones, the government also cultivated a secret army?"

Bailing frowned: "It's unlikely. After the end of the world, all countries have signed an armistice agreement. Now most of the conflicts between countries focus on the resource competition of alien planets. There is no need for the government to cultivate a secret army."

"It is necessary. The government's cultivation of a secret army is not necessarily aimed at other countries, but it may also be..." Kong Lan raised his finger and nodded, "It is aimed at me and the Hunter Guild. Bailing, ancient humans for thousands of years I have always thought that I am living under the oppression of the new humans, and the government will think that they have been living under the oppression of the Hunter's Guild? The government can only manage one country, but the Hunter's Guild has branches all over the world. The strength of the Hunter Division is also unfathomable..."

The expressions of Bailing and Baili all changed, their backs straightened, and their expressions became serious.

Dean Zheng and the others stared blankly at Kong Lan, sweating coldly at what he said.

"It's possible." Kong Que's calm voice broke the stagnant atmosphere in the room, "Baili, continue to screen people in the army, focusing on those outstanding soldiers who have died, and the government will also screen. I think Even if there is a secret army, the government may not really want to do anything to the guild, there is a high probability that it will be cultivated just in case, and the people who cultivated this army probably did not expect that the patriarch's mouse shit would be born in it."

Dean Zheng hesitated and said, "If they didn't do it just in case..."

"Hunter Guild will be fine." Kong Que said affirmatively, and his calm tone effectively calmed everyone's hearts, "Hunter Guild will always be Hunter Guild. Everything is just a hypothesis now. There is no such unknown army."

The meeting ended in a hurry, everyone discussed to the end, and only proposed a solution to the current predicament as best as possible. Kong Que said that he would speed up the research, strive to get results as soon as possible, and end the acting with the patriarch.

Before the end of the meeting, Zhong Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped Kong Que and said, "I heard that you recommended me." As for what was recommended, everyone knew it well.

Kong Que stopped the movement of the instrument, raised his eyes to look at him, and replied, "It's me."

"why?"

"You are the best."

"Is it the right age? Or is it the right identity for the new human? Or is it the right target to catalyze conflicts?"

"It's your IQ that's right." Kong Que rarely praised him once, "You're not strong enough, but you're very smart, and you won't be brainwashed or swayed by interests."

Zhong Lin's expression twisted for a moment, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm also an undercover agent?"

Kong Que frowned: "You're not, your family background doesn't allow you to be an undercover agent." After finishing speaking, he didn't want to say any more, and turned off the video.

Zhong Lin was choked to death by his firm tone, and was so angry that he chopped off the peeled fruit into eight pieces.

……

As soon as the video was off, a hoarse voice came from the bed: "What's going on outside?"

Kong Que froze for a moment, turned his head to look at the bed, and saw that Di Chu, who had been lying on his back, woke up at some point and was leaning against the head of the bed, looking here with a sleepy face.

His eyes lit up, he quickly got up and leaned over, and asked, "When did you wake up? Did I disturb you?"

Di Chu shook his head, leaned against him naturally after he sat on the bed, and closed his eyes again: "What's going on outside? I heard the voices of Kong Lan and the dean."

"A little trouble." Kong Que embraced him and pulled the quilt for him, "Do you still want to sleep?"

"En." Di Chu's voice was very low, "I woke up from hunger."

His body is in the power storage period, and there is no aura and vitality flowing in the air, so it is easy to get hungry.

After thinking about it, he added: "I won't sleep for so long in the future."

Kong Que put his hand into the quilt, touched his belly, sent his own strength into his dantian, and coaxed: "Then hold on, don't fall asleep again, I'll make you something to eat."

The scorching power entered the body and turned into a warm current that nourished the dantian of the tendons. Di Chu let out a comfortable breath, relaxed his body, and said, "Together."

Kong Que couldn't help being seduced by his trusting and dependent appearance and sleepy posture. He wanted to continue to let him rest, but he didn't want to leave him. In the end, selfishness prevailed: "Then you change back to your original shape, and I will carry you to the kitchen." Maintaining the human form, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.

Di Chu opened his eyes and glanced at him, nodded. With a twist of strength, he changed back to his original shape. In order to facilitate Kong Que's hug, he deliberately controlled his body size to the size of a kitten.

Kong Que's tense body relaxed slightly, he stroked his soft fur, carried him into his arms and went to the kitchen.

While cooking, Kong Que briefly told Di Chu what happened outside.

Di Chu pondered for a while and asked, "Is your research going well?"

Kong Que replied: "The fusion of white grass and ancient medicinal materials is going smoothly, but there are some practical problems that cannot be solved for the time being."

"The real problem is that ancient medicinal materials cannot be widely cultivated because they generally reject vitality?"

Kong Que was surprised by his sharpness, and nodded: "It is indeed this."

Di Chu flicked his tail, "Kong Que, have you ever thought about why ancient medicinal materials can improve the physique of ancient humans?"

"I've thought about it." Kong Que took out a bowl of cooked broth, sat down in front of him, and fed him with a spoon, "Ancient medicinal materials have medicinal properties, and it's normal for them to have a positive impact on the body of ancient humans." .”

"But this kind of positive influence should not be used to improve the physique of ancient humans and improve their ability to cultivate and absorb vitality. They are just medicine." Di Chu let him feed him, and said what he was thinking when he fell asleep. "I think it is not the medicinal properties of the ancient medicinal materials that transformed the ancient humans, but the part of the ancient medicinal materials that is gradually adapting to the vitality. They survived for thousands of years. At first, they survived by aura and enchantment, 100% repelling vitality, and then the enchantment Loose, the spiritual energy is not replenished, in order to survive, they slowly transform themselves so that they no longer reject 100% vitality."

Kong Que stopped feeding for a while.

Di Chu changed back to human form, took the bowl in his hand, and continued to say while eating: "The ancient medicinal materials are evolving, and then the ancient humans ate them and absorbed the evolved part of their bodies, so they also slowly evolved. and become more adaptable to the current environment.”

Kong Que thought deeper than he did, and spoke faster: "So what the white grass needs to fuse is not the ancient medicinal material, but the part of the evolution of the ancient medicinal material. As long as I summarize and extract this part of the ancient medicinal material... In addition, why is it Ancient medicinal materials can evolve, is it because they have medicinal properties? Then if I move some medicinal plants from alien planets to the earth to cultivate them, and let them contact with vitality, can I artificially create an evolutionary version of "ancient medicinal materials" ? It is true that ancient medicinal materials cannot be cultivated on a large scale, but certain alien planet plants can..."

Di Chu immersed himself in the soup, and added after hearing the words: "I suggest you take Fei Ye over, he is more sensitive to changes in plants, you can ask him to refine it for you."

Kong Que shut his mouth, looked straight at him, and suddenly leaned over to take the spoon in his hand, turned his head to kiss his lips.

The broth that he had just eaten was snatched away, Di Chu frowned, and driven by hunger, bit him mercilessly.
