Foreword:

The moon is not too far away; the greatest distance we have to go is between us.

"Guide Su Xingchen!"

On a rainy night, a member of the anti-spiritual special operations team from the mortal world called out to a short man who was hurrying forward. The man looked only about 160 cm tall, but he rushed into the deep forest without hesitation.

"Coach Su! Coach Su, don't go into the mountains! You don't have any psychic powers, and you don't have any weapons! Are the people in the 749th Bureau so brave?"

There are two things to explain here -

——Bureau 749 is the predecessor of Tianshu. This psychic force was prepared and mobilized by Chen Xin, Qian Xuesen and others. It is also a branch of the 507 Psychic Research Institute. All abnormal things in China and the super powers that often appear in the international community are led by the Philosopher Foundation and coordinated by the Security Council before being distributed to relevant departments of various countries.

For example, the Jiujie Railway in Hong Kong and the Tianshu authorities are sister units of the National Security Bureau. They are at the same level and have their own independent command systems. Their participation in the Autumn Harvest Operation is also another form of armed assistance.

The team members traveling with Guide Su were from TRG, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security under the Pentagon of the United States of America. It was of the same nature as Tianshu and was responsible for psychic matters in the mundane world.

Mr. Birmingham Andrew followed the team all the way, climbed over the Nanling Mountains and fought monsters. Now Coach Su Xingchen has received a new task and is about to rush to the vicinity of Axe Mountain for negotiations.

Su Xingchen, holding a cigarette in his mouth, rushed into Lao Lin despite his companions' attempts to stop him, for no other reason.

As Ye Bei's external brain, this not-so-obedient "body" of his has gotten into trouble again.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Coach Su! You won't be able to find it in a short time."

"Listen to the sound!" Su Xingchen punched the air with all his might. He was almost exploding with anger.

A sharp and piercing horn sound came from the mountains and forests and never stopped.

May I ask where this horn and whistle came from?

Half an hour ago, Xingchen received an order from the Organization Department, asking Ye Bei to find a suitable means of transportation.

As a result, the guy drove a jeep back from Mingkang County in Nanling to test his driving skills - but he ran into the woods and never came back.

The man-eating monsters entrenched in this city have just been defeated, and perhaps there are still some remnants hiding in the mountains and forests. For ordinary people like Su Xingchen who have no psychic vision, it is extremely difficult to hike into the mountains to search and rescue.

Mr. Birmingham followed behind Agent Tianshu, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After walking four kilometers of mountain roads, Xingchen finally found Ye Bei in a ravine.

"Sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking! Agent Ye Bei!" Su Xingchen pressed the cigarette butt on the slippery and sticky bark, looking frantic: "That's it? Did you pass the second test?!"

Looking at the jeep in the ravine again, Mr. Ye Bei had died after hitting his head against a thick tree trunk, his head still pressing against the horn button on the steering wheel. He had been dead for a long, long time and had not come back to life - he was a ghost, a derivative of the evil beast Qiongqi.

"Pull me. Pull me." Ye Bei's face was covered in blood, and bursts of dark red blood spurted out from the exposed wounds. The red liquid still retained a strong scent of the disaster beast. His vitality was firmly bound to the body of Qiongqi. In the Tianshu unit, he was also a first-class pathfinder, using his body to detect abnormal spiritual disasters.

More than a dozen tree branches pierced the front window, and the car was almost hanging on the main stem of the trees in the ravine, piercing Ye Bei into a skewer of barbecued meat - half of the head of a big white cat barely popped out from the passenger seat, and it was his master, Qiongqi.

"You know what, kid?" Qiongqi said to Xingchen, "When he was unconscious, I quietly sawed open his head to see what he was thinking about, such as why he suddenly started racing after getting this car - just like before!"

"This guy seems to have lost control of his hands and feet. He would dance with whatever he touched or whatever weapon he got. His deaths were bizarre."

"What happened? I couldn't find his brain at all!"

Qiongqi gestured with his little paws vividly——

"——Oh my god! Maybe there is a very small brain core like a peanut. I am dying of laughter!"

"It's so mini and so cute!~"

“Maybe that’s the reason.”

The little Qiongqi stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes, insulting the servant in a sarcastic tone. She barely got out of the car and helped Su Xingchen open the door. She tried to pry the door handle, and finally Coach Su opened the main driver's door completely.

"He also bought A-shares last month, saying that he wanted to do charity. After all, this market is for charity! I can understand giving money to the poor - everyone would waste things." Qiongqi started mumbling after getting off the ground, squatting on Xingchen's shoulder to direct the rescue work: "But you want to spend money on the stock market and think it's financial management, then I laugh at you."

Su Xingchen: "Your attack power is too high, little cutie."

"I don't care!" Qiongqi continued, "If you go to watch a female anchor who is not good at watching, you can throw some money and people will call you big brother. If you top up a few million in the game, people will treat you as a rich man with a lack of oxygen in the brain and will be busy trying to curry favor with you. But if you go to the A-share market and lose all your pants, people will just laugh at you for being stupid."

"Stop talking, okay, okay, okay." Su Xingchen's face turned ugly, because he and Ye Bei went there together and opened an account with the same brokerage firm.

Mr. Birmingham came to help, and the two of them and the cat worked together and finally managed to make the barbecue.

Without the obstruction of foreign objects, Ye Bei's body changed from a speaker back to a complete human form. When he regained consciousness, he finally began to explain -

"——I just want to try out my driving skills."

Su Xingchen: "Have you found out?"

Back in the camp in Mingkang County, while changing clothes and adjusting equipment, Agent Ye Bei shaved in front of the mirror. He looked at his handsome face in the mirror, and the fierce scar on his eyebrow.

"——After testing it out, you can drive from now on. I am confused because I always drive in Hengyin. The truck is very stable when transporting spiritual disaster items. Why did I have an accident when I came to Shambhala?"

As he said this, Ye Bei, the folk remedy master and Yin-Yang master, took out a booklet from his backpack. It was his personal reference book.

"Oh! Po Jun's transformation into a bad luck collided with Qi Sha Yang Dou, I will have a car accident today - I see."

Su Xingchen folded his arms and raised his palms in surprise: "Come on! Are you still sticking to this feudal superstition? The frontline assault team used airplanes, cannons and rockets to blow up hundreds of blood-giving monsters - these demons and monsters are no match for modern weapons."

"Any news from the front line?" After changing into clean clothes, Ye Bei squeezed next to his "godfather". As for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating along the way to Shambhala, all were in the charge of Instructor Su. He only had to follow orders, fight, retreat and kill people. The task process was clear and natural.

"It's a diplomatic mission, and you are responsible for protecting me." Su Xingchen didn't waste any words and quickly explained the matter. This is his talent, a very precious talent.

Ye Bei asked doubtfully, "What is there to talk about? The fight is almost over."

Coach Su winked and responded, "With your IQ, it's hard for me to explain it to you."

The two of them didn't say much, just packed up their luggage and equipment and left. As for the various stories that happened in Nanling, they will be told separately.

A few days later, the two Tianshu special operations team operators took a speedboat and headed north along the Tonghe River Basin, entering the tributary waters of Emao County, and happened to encounter a heavy snowfall during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This place was eerily cold; it was because Axue used her psychic powers to deliberately block the waterway - after all, the aviation force of the Quick Blade Combined Brigade was too terrifying.

Judas also watched the news and knew how powerful the weapons of the secular world were.

What impressed him most was Saddam Hussein, who was beheaded in the Iraq War. He did not want to become such a negative example. He was afraid that his hiding place would be found. Once his position was exposed, Kuaidao would definitely be able to blow up Judas's headquarters within a day.

After getting off the boat, Ye Bei and Xingchen walked on the frozen river. After walking more than 800 meters towards Lingyang Ferry, they found a frozen passenger ship.

Looking above the floating wood and bamboo of the passenger ship, the strong sun shines through the sails on the side of the ship, casting a halo.

Ye Bei nodded: "It seems that there are no monsters to greet us, leader, you can go up without worry." "Be smart later, don't let others laugh at you." Su Xingchen smoked one cigarette after another, and told Ye Bei: "I will say some official language, you translate it briefly, if they don't understand, then be more straightforward."

As Ye Bei climbed up the bamboo scroll, he turned around and asked, "Why don't you tell me yourself?"

Coach Su explained, "I represent Tianshu. When reporters and historians ask about this wartime diplomatic visit, there must be an explanation, right? Can I stand on the table and point at the noses of these ogre monsters and curse their mothers? I can't! This is inappropriate!"

"Oh" Ye Bei's eyes lit up: "Can I?"

It seemed that they had discovered the presence of the two Tianshu operators long ago. Six burly men in black robes and black hats walked out of the ship and led the distinguished guests in.

Qiongqi came out from the servant's arms at the right moment, sniffed it for a bit, and immediately laughed out loud.

"Hey! Great! They are all talented!"

Su Xingchen didn't say anything else. He nodded to Ye Bei, went into the dim cabin, climbed up the stairs to the second floor, and looked clearly at the distribution of armed forces on the second floor. This ship was almost full of blood-giving freaks - every elite soldier exuded a strong psychic tide, just like the swordsmen at the Hongmen Banquet.

Ye Bei also looked as if he was facing a great enemy - there were too many of them. Including the fat brothers who were receiving guests on the deck, there were a total of thirty-six blood-granting nobles who were blessed with elixirs.

Su Xingchen was not in a hurry. Although he was a little thin, he became a completely different person after entering the third-floor ship. He became awe-inspiring without even getting angry.

"——I learned the identities of the two representatives in advance from Coach Ke."

The person who was in charge of meeting the two negotiators was the nominal supreme leader of the Danqiu Kingdom, General Yu Danqiu Yu. He was also the white glove appointed by Judah. ​​As the local emperor of Shambhala, such an agent walking in the mortal world must be of local origin, so that the management work would be much easier.

Commander Yu, dressed in casual cloth, sat alone at the table, preparing to make tea for the two guests.

Without waiting for the general to say anything polite, Su Xingchen had already started the process -

"——On behalf of the Tianshu Front Army, I am entrusted by the Underground Railway's Aohen Mingde Quick Sword Group to be in charge of this negotiation. I hope that through this negotiation, we can resolve the urgent needs of the warring parties, solve practical problems, and implement solutions."

Commander Yu was stunned for a moment, as if all of Xia Bang's etiquette was useless in front of this tough diplomat.

He laughed dryly and opened the brocade box beside the tea table, revealing a bloody Chaos Egg. Judas also wanted to participate in the negotiation, or at least to listen in.

Qiongqi opened his cat eyes wide and suddenly burst into laughter when he saw his ferocious beast brother turned into a puppet prop of a demon.

"Wow! This artistic design is really six plus seven, isn't it? Tsk tsk tsk tsk. What a sin!~"

Ye Bei held the cat's head, looking embarrassed: "Hey! You guys chat, you guys chat, I won't disturb you."

General Yu had sweat on his forehead out of embarrassment, and he didn't know who the Tianshu side had chosen to negotiate.

The Chaos Egg quickly changed its form and grew a mouth with complete lips and teeth.

"——I know you." Judas spoke: "Representative Su Xingchen, you are well-known in Tianshu."

Su Xingchen interrupted, "Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Judas, talk about your demands regarding this special military operation in Maling Township and even in the southeastern states."

Then, Xingchen looked at Ye Bei and gave him a wink.

Ye Bei immediately translated, "Stop talking nonsense, you monster! There's nothing to talk about with you, why are you trying to get close to me? There are so many people who know me, you're not the only one!"

It was hard for Judas to imagine what was happening on the other side of the Chaos Egg—

——He suppressed his inner discomfort and slowly analyzed every detail of Su Xingchen's words and sentences.

  Tianshu Front Army? Is there another army operating in the southeast?

Special military operations? Has the Great Xia Emperor of Shambhala acquiesced to Aohen Mingde's overall combat plan?

We must make them misunderstand and think that this is an unjust war. We must seize this opportunity to find an attacking angle and gain space and time!

"I hope that Tianshu and Aohen Mingde can realize this, of course." Judas was not angry because of Ye Bei's insults, but was very calm: "In the eyes of the Shambhala natives, you are slaughtering our innocent people."

Commander Yu followed closely behind: "This is unforgivable! Unacceptable! This is the bullying of the weak by the strong!"

Judah thought for a moment and rephrased his words: "This military operation has been completely unjust from beginning to end. It is like a farce. We have all paid a heavy price for it. Countless Daxia people have been displaced, and they have shed blood and tears. Whether they are the elderly, the weak, women, children, or the wounded and disabled surrendered soldiers, you must kill them all."

Commander Yu: "I can't accept this! You are invading my country! You are killing my compatriots!"

Facing the accusation, Su Xingchen showed no expression. He waited quietly for Judas to finish speaking - this was the most basic diplomatic etiquette.

Ye Bei was listening with a puzzled look on his face, because that was not the case.

What he saw and heard in Mingkang County, Nanling, and the intelligence gathered by the Southeast Theater Pathfinder Team, were nothing like what Judas said.

In the land of Shambhala, there are demons in every province and people have to kneel down and donate blood and flesh to survive. If they want to live like a "human", they have to find ways to sell other people's blood and eat other people's flesh.

Every thirty miles there is an unknown village, and every eighty miles there is a garrison town. From annoying little devils to bloodthirsty demons, the military and the government are integrated, using psychic power to cut flesh and bleed with terrifying laws and brutal rules - there has never been any justice, no peace and prosperity, no simplicity and kindness, and no pastoral poetry and peaceful fantasy.

Landlords and gentry colluded with the Pope and local warlords, forming an efficient cannibalism system. People had to reproduce desperately, relying on the spiritual power of demons to bring fertile land, but it was only enough to solve the problem of food and clothing. If there was a little surplus, the extra useless children would be sent to feed the immortals in exchange for wealth - everyone was scrambling for it, afraid that they would not be able to become slaves, and afraid that the immortals would dislike their human flesh for not being delicious enough.

Judah said, "I want you to stop this special military operation immediately."

"Yes." Su Xingchen did not interrupt Judas, but took up the topic naturally: "Mr. Judas, I think you are right."

Judas had no choice but to shut up. He couldn't continue.

"But only part of it." Su Xingchen emphasized: "Regarding the civilian casualties caused by the Quick Blade Combined Brigade, we will definitely explain it clearly to the Political Department of the Great Xia Empire. We will carefully consider and take seriously any form of war reparations conditions, and acknowledge the war crimes and political crimes caused by this military action as appropriate."

"But it has nothing to do with Guiyi Sect or Danqiu Country."

Su Xingchen emphasized——

"——The Eternal Alliance cannot use the people as a shield or scapegoat, and you cannot ignore the facts. No matter how sharp the tongue of a blood-giving monster is, it cannot become a sword."

"This is not the right way to end the war. You can't hope to find an advantage that doesn't belong to you and launch a moral attack on Tianshu and Aohen Mingde."

"The cause of this special military operation can be traced back to the Eternal Alliance's forty-nine-year-long armed extortion, violent crimes, bribery and spiritual disasters against the underground railway, ports, special economic zones, political departments, industrial departments, living areas and even the Transportation Bureau of various special administrative regions."

"We have all kinds of evidence to show that the instigator of all this, the source of the disaster of war, and the starting point of the chain of hatred came from the Eternal One—Mr. Judas. It came from the willfulness of the Eternal League, from your mercenary group, and from the League's desire for power. It tried to interfere with the internal affairs of the railway department under the Security Council in the form of a terrorist organization without borders."

Su Xingchen lit a cigarette expressionlessly, took the teacup from the table, and splashed the scalding tea on Commander Yu's face.

"Ye Bei, scold him. Be a little rude, I'm afraid he won't understand."

Ye Bei hugged the Chaos Egg and shouted loudly -

“——Fuck you! You’re just an idiot who can only talk nonsense!”

Commander Yu was scalded by the boiling water and screamed loudly, but he could not react immediately.

He endured the pain and dared not hurt anyone without the order of Lingguang Buddha.

Su Xingchen tried his best to persuade her—

"——Mr. Judas, we still haven't discussed the necessary conditions to end the war. Your groundless accusations have made our relationship even more distant."

"That's what General Charles de Gaulle said. With human technology, it doesn't seem far away to go to the moon."

"But the greatest distance we have to travel is between us."
