Chapter 751: Murder and Arson, Recruitment - Variant Version

Someone imprisoned a dirty creature in the college for experiments.

This incident broke out in the Federal College, but it was suppressed within two days of spreading. The heat quickly died down and no one talked about it.

This was all the work of the Federation and Lu Xingshi's deliberate guidance.

What followed was naturally that Lu Xingshi was arrested, and all his research materials and results were confiscated.

The whole incident did not cause much stir in the Federal College, let alone in the huge Jingzhou, but it attracted considerable attention among the federal high-level officials.

A series of information including Cao Wan's identity and the fate of Liao's grandfather and grandson were placed on the table of the federal top leaders.

"Today is the seventh day since you were arrested." A middle-aged man sat in front of Lu Xingshi. After saying this, he placed a bottle of potion in front of Lu Xingshi and said, "Who instructed you to make this thing you call a strengthening potion?"

"I've said it many times. This is what I discovered through research. I have a complete research process." Lu Xingshi said pretending to be tired.

During these seven days, he experienced a lot of questioning, but he was not tortured and was not put under too much pressure.

"Answer me seriously, as this concerns whether you will be innocent next." The other party said seriously.

However, Lu Xingshi smiled and said, "Why, dirty things also have human rights?"

"Of course not." The middle-aged man laughed when he heard this. He liked Lu Xingshi's attitude and then said, "This has nothing to do with dirty things. You are endangering public safety."

When he heard the accusation, Lu Xingshi realized that his plan was successful. The other party came this time to recruit him.

It should be that they discovered the hidden function of the strengthening potion that I made.

"Endangering public safety? I remember that the strengthening potion I made, if nothing unexpected happens, can only slightly improve physical fitness." Lu Xingshi said slowly.

"It has nothing to do with the strengthening potion. It's because you secretly imprisoned the dirty thing. Although I don't know how you anesthetized this dirty thing, but..."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Lu Xingshi added: "It's very simple. I found that the composition of dirty things is..."

"Please listen to me. What you said is all professional knowledge. I'm sorry, I'm not professional." The middle-aged man didn't intend to listen. The last time someone wanted Lu Xingshi to prove that it was he who made the strengthening potion, Lu Xingshi told him a bunch of heavenly books.

They didn't understand, but the federal researchers exclaimed that it was a genius idea and tried their best to protect this young genius.

With him, the Federation's ability to deal with fate ghosts will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

"The Federation is giving you a chance to get away with this crime, but for the rest of your life, you will be hiding your identity and fighting for the Federation against these filthies."

"Of course, the Federation will provide you with everything you want, whether it is wealth or beauty, it is up to you to choose." The middle-aged man said directly.

This is what Lu Xingshi was waiting for, but he did not show any excitement. Instead, he nodded and said, "Of course, I worked hard to get into the Federation College because I want to contribute to the Federation. It's the same wherever I am."

"I just want to know to what extent the Federation has reached in utilizing dirty things. I think the effect of my bottle of strengthening potion is not enough for the Federation's technology." Lu Xingshi said directly.

"This is another reason. It's not easy to talk here. We need to go to another place." The middle-aged man said, motioning to the guards around him.

The guards he brought with him quickly formed a protective circle, took Lu Xingshi away, and got on a specially made armored vehicle.

Then he said, "This world may be completely different from what you imagine. The ghosts that are called dirty things by the people are officially called fate ghosts. In addition, there is a group called fate masters..."

The middle-aged man was very eloquent and gave Lu Xingshi a 'completely new' worldview. During the talk, he also mentioned the Destiny Organization, but he did not go into detail, nor did he deliberately go into the dark, etc.

Instead, the focus is on depicting the Federation's great contributions to suppressing fate ghosts and balancing fate masters.

"I understand the logic, but why does the Federation have to limit itself to fortune tellers? Can't we just use our soldiers?"

"Even a half-baked person like me can use Life Ghost to create a strengthening potion to strengthen the physical body. I don't believe that the Federation's technology cannot produce it." Lu Xingshi asked doubtfully.

"I understand your question, and I can tell you exactly that it is not possible."

"Because the human body cannot bear it, your strengthening medicine only slightly improves it. Once you take too much, it will cause various terrible sequelae such as brain death and schizophrenia." The middle-aged man briefly summarized it and said, "You can check the details yourself after you join the company."

"I understand. You are only responsible for picking people up, not a researcher. So where are we going?" Lu Xingshi asked directly.

"It's a secret. You don't have to know, and you don't have to guess. If you want to go out in the future, there will be someone to escort you. You don't have to worry about getting lost, let alone safety issues." The middle-aged man did not say it directly.

However, based on Lu Xingshi's perception, he could not hide the outside environment at all. Although it was said to be confidential, for Lu Xingshi it was almost as good as seeing it with his own eyes.

"Security issue? Would a filthy thing like the Fate Ghost intentionally target us?" Lu Xingshi asked knowingly. Of course he knew that the Federation was defending against the Fate Organization, but how could he say it directly?

"Of course not, the fate ghosts only think about eating and killing. In fact, they are just a group of bandits who can never be killed."

"The ones who will really attack you are actually us humans. I told you before that there is another existence that is opposite to the Fate Ghost, the Fate Master."

"They formed a group called Destiny. They were the driving force behind the changes and establishment of the Federation in previous generations."

"It is undeniable that it is because of their existence that humans can survive, but..."

The middle-aged man sighed. He was actually looking for an opportunity to let Lu Xingshi ask him in person so that he could tell him the whole story. However, he didn't expect Lu Xingshi to be so cooperative.

"Similar to the aristocratic families of the Dali Dynasty, they did not die in the new era. Instead, they hid in the dark and controlled the direction of the Federation."

Lu Xingshi's words immediately resonated with the middle-aged man: "Yes, the Federation has been fighting against them, but their power has been growing over the years. If it weren't for the strong president, perhaps the Federation would have been controlled by them again."

"Once they succeed, there will be no noble sons from poor families, and the common people will be nothing but cattle and horses."

"You should have experienced this yourself. After all, your village chief wanted to take away the fruits of your hard work. As for the family forces that make up the Destiny Organization, they not only want everything you have, but also want your descendants to continue to work like slaves for their descendants."

The middle-aged man's tone was filled with excitement. Lu Xingshi was a genuine commoner without any family influence. To the Federation, he was a natural direct descendant.

Don’t be fooled by the nice words of the middle-aged man. Lu Xingshi knows that the Destiny Organization has evil ambitions, but he also understands that the Federation is not a good thing either.

It's nothing more than a competition of who is worse.

The Federation is not a puppet. What the middle-aged man said sounded nice, but in reality, it is the Federation itself that is in power. The Destiny Organization belongs to the local tyrants and is overall inferior to the Federation.

It's just that Lu Xingshi has plans for the Federation, so he chose to infiltrate the Federation. If he has plans for the Destiny Organization, he would also change his excuse.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so stop talking nonsense about Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

"It's not that serious, right? They are just a group of strange people. I believe there are also some in the Federation." Lu Xingshi asked tentatively.

“What if there is a powerful being with the power to destroy the world among this group of strange people, and the Federation has no countermeasures, do you think they can succeed?” The middle-aged man sighed.

Lu Xingshi was silent. From this sentence, he instantly thought of the fortune teller who had been observing the timeline. He should be the existence that the other party was talking about.

"We're here. There are some things I can't tell you, but you can look them up yourself." The middle-aged man saw that Lu Xingshi was silent and didn't continue talking.

Only after they arrived did he speak and show Lu Xingshi a way to follow.

...

"Great Fortune Lord, the Eighth Type Chosen One, no, is it because of my interference that the Federation's Chosen One technology has once again broken through its shackles?"

At the headquarters of the Destiny Organization, the Destiny Master, as the sole leader, completed his interference in his own future.

The overall situation did not change, but he saw that the fate of the Federation had taken a turn for the worse.

"Technology is, after all, just a minor path, while fortune teller is the grand path." The fortune teller doesn't care about the so-called biotechnology at all. In his opinion, it is just a toy.

What could Type 8 do? He was still no match for him. In the end, the so-called Lord of Fortune launched a siege on the Destiny Organization, but was defeated by his one move. If the opponent hadn't been lucky, even Type 8 would have died.

"But to be able to become a Type 8, he is no simple person. Unfortunately, the Book of the Future only expresses it in words, so we can't tell who he is."

"We need to investigate whether there are similar people in the Federation recently. The other party will rise in the future and should be just a small figure now. It is better to cut the grass and eliminate the roots in advance." Although the Master of Destiny is not afraid, it would be great if he could strike the other party.

He had previously done a lot of things to interfere with the future technological development of the Federation and had killed several turning points in the Federation's fate. For him, this was just a casual thing, but it could cause the Federation to lose opportunities to take off time and time again.

As for the group of researchers who developed the Chosen Ones? He didn't care about them at all. They were ordinary people who weren't even fortune tellers. How could they be worth his attention?

Without strength, you are nothing but dry bones in a grave.

Even now, if he wanted to, he could kill them all with a slap.

The reason why he didn't take action was simply because he didn't want to break off relations with the Federation. The Federation still had a use for him, and when it no longer had a use, there would be no problem in restoring the monarchy.
