Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 52: The Eye of Truth
Thousands of miles above the sky.
Qi Ji huddled in his business class seat and couldn't help but touch his cheek.
I didn't expect that Saeko Kamiizumi, a Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl, would launch such a surprise attack before leaving.
There's no way. A man like him, with ordinary looks but incredible strength, will naturally have a lot of troubles in this regard.
However, this was just a small episode in this cherry blossom trip.
What he cared more about was the important information shared with him by the superior organization of the Death Society.
…
Last night, after he saw the tall and thin "Eye of Truth" cadre "Zhen", he calmly pulled out a chair and sat down.
The first question he asked was: "That Jaeger, codenamed 'Hopeless', is obviously a bloodthirsty madman. Due to your rules, I was unable to kill him, but how can you prevent such madmen from causing trouble for me or my relatives and friends in the future?"
Zhen smiled slightly after hearing Qi Ji's words: "Bai Xiuluo, you worry too much. Maybe you have just come into contact with our organization not long ago. Since we have been hosting the Death Mad Sword Fight, or the 'Honor Duel' since ancient times, there have indeed been cases of revenge after losing on the stage. But there is no doubt that the violators who committed such acts, including the companies behind them, have all been completely wiped out by us."
He continued, "Nowadays, it is a technological age. Our organization is even more powerful and has close cooperation with many countries. Traditional warriors are becoming increasingly vulnerable in the face of technological weapons, and it is even more impossible for them to break through our surveillance and seek revenge. Moreover, according to our assessment, after the winner is decided on the stage, few people will think about revenge afterwards because they are not as skilled as others."
Finally, he added, "What's more, Jaeger is, after all, a public figure ranked sixth in the world in terms of military strength. He enjoys the wealth and convenience that comes with being public. If he attacks you privately, the loss he will suffer from exposing his identity will be greater than yours. You don't have to worry."
Qi Ji keenly heard the word "monitoring" that the other party said. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "So, you are also monitoring me at the same time?"
In response to Qi Ji's question, Zhen answered very smoothly: "Of course, but after Lord Bai Xiuluo returns to Daxia, our monitoring efforts will be greatly reduced. After all, Daxia is notoriously difficult to arrange for people."
Seeing the other party admit it so bluntly, Qi Ji was slightly choked, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no point in getting angry.
In this information society, if a giant organization wants to monitor a person, no matter how angry you are, you can do nothing about it.
What's more, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties at present, so there is no need to worry too much.
So he asked calmly: "So, why did you come to me this time?"
Zhen said calmly: "Of course I want to invite you to join our 'Eye of Truth'."
Qi Ji remained calm: "So, what are the requirements to join you?"
Zhen said: "The first one is that in order to facilitate the operation, you need to renounce Daxia nationality..."
Qi Ji immediately shook his head: "No need to say anything, I refuse."
Zhen nodded: "I have expected the answer. So, would you consider cooperating with us?"
Qi Ji became interested: "Tell me first, how does cooperation work?"
Zhen pondered for a moment, then told Qi Ji the cooperation method and some information.
The first thing was to convey some information to Qi Ji. Some of this information Qi Ji already knew, while some of it was the first time Qi Ji heard of it.
For example, there are five reception gates distributed on the earth.
Among them, Daxia corresponds to the outer world Donghua Continent.
There is one in the country of Britain in Northern Europe, corresponding to the Western Cang continent.
There is a Star-Spangled Country in Xingzhou, corresponding to the Starry Continent.
The other two are in Heizhou and Haizhou, and the corresponding continents... have been completely occupied by foreign demons.
And the Eye of Truth, in a sense, actually controls the four gateways leading to the outside world except Daxia.
Over the years, this organization has been working with various countries to continuously explore the outer blue planet and has achieved many results, but it is still difficult to overcome several difficult problems.
For example, they still haven't found any materials that can be brought from Earth to Blue Star, but in addition to rare insect silk that can be used to make clothes, they have also discovered extremely rare special metals that can be brought from outer space to Earth. Unfortunately, these metals have nowhere to be mined in the three outer space human-gathering continents of Donghua, Xicang and Xingyao, and can only be occasionally found in meteorites from outer space.
This also made it difficult for them to mass-produce these metals into firearms on Earth, and they were only enough to make some cold weapons for the "shuttlers" to use.
That’s right, the Eye of Truth calls those who can travel back and forth between the two worlds after transcending the limit “travelers”.
For example, they have studied the nature of the "External Demonic Despair" in detail and have their own effective methods to break through the desperate situation.
Of course , this method also exists in Donghua Continent.
Most importantly, they united various countries, spent a lot of precious resources, and extradited many scientific researchers to conduct research and collect materials. In the end...
Zhen did not tell Qi Ji what the final result was. He just smiled and asked Qi Ji if he was willing to change his mind and join the Eye of Truth after knowing this.
Qi Ji flatly refused.
Therefore, he stopped sharing more information with Qi Ji and started discussing cooperation with Qi Ji.
The first step of cooperation is to ask Qi Ji to participate in their upcoming plan to tackle the foreign demon crisis.
That’s right, it’s not just Daxia, many countries on Earth have encountered desperate situations with foreign demons. There are many strong people in Northern Europe and Star Continent, but they lack those who can truly fight against the extraordinary and transcendent people. They are not capable of conquering the desperate situations with foreign demons, and they need to gather the top strong people from other countries to complete it together.
In response to this, Qi Ji said: "Daxia also urgently needs me to tackle the outer demon impasse. If the Eye of Truth really needs my support, you should go through the official procedures to ask Daxia for help. If Daxia is willing to send me abroad at that time, then I will naturally do my best to accept it."
Just like that, the negotiation between Qi Ji and the Eye of Truth ended abruptly with Zhen shaking his head helplessly.
When saying goodbye to Zhen, this guy smiled bitterly and said, "So, I shouldn't have agreed to be in charge of negotiating with you. You Daxia people are the most difficult to deal with."
Qi Ji did not comment on this and left the small room in a leisurely manner.
…
Time goes back to the present.
He really gained a few things from this cherry blossom trip.
The first one is of course the improvement in strength. Not to mention other rookies, but after restraining his strength, through the duel with Yagyu Jubei, not only did the opponent break through, but he himself used Yagyu Jubei as a whetstone, so that his spirit and body finally resonated harmoniously and entered the pinnacle level of the ninth stage of "entering the spirit".
The next step is to wait for this kind of harmonic resonance to continue to a certain extent, stimulate the body to break through the limitations and reach the super-limit state, and then enter the outer realm in the super-limit state, which will enable you to attract extraordinary factors and achieve extraordinary results.
The second gain was also the real purpose of his trip to the Sakura Country.
The first was a "childish" direct revenge on Sakura for its shameless behavior. He challenged all Sakura kendo schools and succeeded, causing this "kendo power" to suffer a severe setback in the field of combat. In the future, all Sakura kendo players would probably not be able to stand up under his shadow .
The second is to assist Shangquan Technology in winning the Death Sword Fight, so that their corporate strength can be greatly developed, and then use capital to influence cabinet decisions to achieve the goal of dealing with pollution through other means. After that, he only needs to ask about the progress of Shangquan Masanobu from time to time.
According to Kamiizumi Masanobu's confident tone, he asked Qi Ji to pay attention to the news in the near future and he would directly show them the progress of their work.
Qi Ji said he would wait and see.
A few hours later, the plane Qi Ji was on landed at the international airport in Xiadu.
As soon as he walked out of the business class and entered the disembarkation channel, a passenger who was also disembarking came up to Qi Ji with a look of surprise on his face: "Qi Shen! Are you Qi Shen?"
"Ah, I'm Qi Ji, and you are?" Qi Ji looked at the excited family of three in front of him, a little confused.
"We are your fans! We watched all the live broadcasts of you defeating Sakura Kendo World. We even cancelled our original plans to watch the final battle at Bunkyo Dome!" said the father of the family of three excitedly.
Wow, turns out you’re a fan.
Qi Ji smiled and signed autographs for the family of three and took photos with them.
He originally thought it was an accidental incident, but unexpectedly, before he could even leave the terminal, more and more people began to look at him with shining eyes.
"God Qi!" "It's God Qi!" "What? God Qi has come to Xiadu!"...
Accompanied by screams, Qi Ji was soon completely surrounded by the crowd.
Qi Ji now had some idea of how popular he was in Da Xia.
Autographs, photos, handshakes, it seemed like the endless hell of fan business came knocking on Qi Ji's door at a time he was not prepared for.
If this was not the landing passage but the waiting hall outside, Qi Ji would probably have to face several times more fans.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the ground staff finally reacted and sent people to evacuate the growing crowd, and took Qi Ji to hide in the office.
Qi Ji was moved to tears, and then he signed autographs and took photos with several ground crew members to express his gratitude.
After a series of disguises, Qi Ji successfully put on a wig, sunglasses, and a mask, and waited for the opportunity to quickly slip out from the other side of the office through the employee passage.
The fans who were waiting outside the office were doomed to return empty-handed.
Qi Ji was walking on the road, lowering his head and sending a text message on his mobile phone to Qin Zijin who came to pick him up at the airport.
Qi Ji: [I didn’t expect that I had so many fans. I didn’t cover myself when I got off the plane, and was surrounded by hundreds of people. I was almost scared to death!]
Qin Zijin: [Haha, you don't know how popular you are in Daxia now. Come out quickly. I'll be waiting for you outside Gate 16 of Terminal 3.]
Qi Ji put away his phone and quickened his pace.
Following the instructions and arriving outside the terminal, he immediately saw the girl he hadn't seen for a long time.
On the roadside, the beautiful Qin Zijin had already walked out of her luxury car and stood beside the car. When she saw Qi Ji, her eyes lit up and she ran over.
Then she threw herself into Qi Ji's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest.
Qi Ji put down the suitcase and gently hugged the girl, feeling her soft body and smelling her pleasant scent.
He couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong, so direct this time?"
He felt a little surprised, thinking that wasn't this rich woman the type who loved playing the flirtatious game of "You Tea, I Tea" with him?
Why did I hit you with a straight shot when we met this time?
