Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 597 Old Ji
In the farthest corner of the KFC restaurant, the table was filled with family buckets of hamburgers and French fries, but Shangguan Yan did not move a thing, not even the tube for her Coke. She just smiled and quietly watched the little girl in front of her eat with relish.

"How long have you been in the world?"

"I've been here since the accident and never left." said the little girl, her tone this time was completely different from before.

Although her voice is still that of a child, her crisp wording and extremely concise answers make people feel that she is more mature than ordinary children. Her ability to think deeply and grasp the key points in a conversation is something that only children can have.

Shangguan Yan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard that the other party had been here all the time and had never left.

"Are you here just to stop me?" the girl immediately continued.

Shangguan Yan nodded: "It seems that there is no need for this."

The combat effectiveness of the human body of the Named One is determined by the purpose of the human body. If the Named One comes to the human world to preach, then in order to stay in the human world as long as possible and better complete the mission of preaching, he will suppress his own strength and increase his sensitivity to the Root Sea.

If it is a named person who intends to come to the human world to destroy something, then the existence of the human body may only last a few months, and during these months, there will only be a short period of full-strength burst of energy for a few hours or even a few minutes.

In short, it is impossible for the named ones who arrive in the human world to be all-encompassing, because their purposes are different, their characteristics are strong or weak, their combat capabilities, the length of time they are active in the human world, their spiritual connection with the Kingdom of God, and the interval between their re-coming after death.

Every human body is different, and the Named One himself has strengths and weaknesses when creating a human body. For example, the Book Eater is a special Named One with weak combat power, great harm, and a quick reappearance.

If the other party did not lie and had really been staying in the human world since Xia Shou's accident, then she was definitely not a combat type. Shangguan Yan estimated that the other party might be at the level of a level five finisher.

That way, you don't even have to do it seriously.

And listening to Lao Ji's answer...she seemed to have realized what she was thinking.

“There is a traitor among us. It is dangerous for anyone to contact Lord Xia Shou now. Your judgment is very correct.

"Xiao Yan, you have really grown up. I never thought that there would be a day when you would call me auntie." The little girl said with satisfaction in the tone of an elder.

"If you cooperate with me, I would be happy to call you auntie more often." Shangguan Yan said very calmly, with no respect in his tone.

She won't trust anyone now. Even if Lao Ji doesn't have the fighting power to threaten her, she won't trust him.

Who can guarantee that she is not using this method to lower her guard?
She herself said that she has been staying in the world since Xia Shou's death, but no one can prove the truth of this statement.

What's more, after Xia Shou died, no one ever came back to that house again, not a single person, not even once.

Without Xia Shou and Alice, she was the only one left in that empty house.

They have never been here, which proves that these people have no feelings for her at all.

Shangguan Yan didn't care about this. She didn't feel wronged and even thought it was a good thing.

Because of the way they treated Xia Shou in the past, it would be a problem for them, as Xia Shou's most loyal subordinates, to develop feelings for her, a child they could never tame.

But it is also for this reason that there is no need to get too close.

Even now, her connection with these people is only because of Xia Shou.

"You said you have been staying in the human world, so what have you been doing all these years?" Shangguan Yan asked.

“I was looking for the successor of Xia Shou-sama. At that time, I thought that Xia Shou-sama was really dead and destroyed. He did not exist in the world or in the book.

But after a long time, the things in Merlin's House did not appear, which made me think that Lord Xia Shou might not be dead, or at least, he had found the next manager of the house.

As a subordinate, of course I have to assist the person he chooses, so I have been looking for it, but in the end you are still faster.

In addition, I never expected that the little girl back then would become the witch of the Control Bureau now. Things really change so fast."

Old Ji shook his head with emotion, and suddenly changed the subject and asked:
"But I'm not the only one who wants to see Lord Xia Shou. Of course I can choose not to contact Lord Xia Shou, but can you stop others?"

"Before coming to you, I had met another one. He promised to help. Before I can confirm who among you is the traitor, I will not let any of you contact Xia Shou." Shangguan Yan said calmly.

"Dream Pickers are fast at finding people, but do you really think no one can get around you?"

"Who knows if you don't try?" Shangguan Yan said easily.

Old Ji looked at Shangguan Yan meaningfully, took a sip of his drink, then picked up the family bucket on the table and stood up.

"I will do it my way. Although we have different ideas, our goal is the same, which is to catch the traitor. Let's keep in touch in the future. I don't think I need to tell you my phone number."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the store, her back looking no different from that of an ordinary little girl.

Shangguan Yan watched the other person leave and let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, I’m still not used to dealing with them.

A rare look of relief appeared on her face for a moment.

The conversation just now seemed to be going smoothly, but in fact, the conversation was not established at all.

The named ones are people who have been able to ascend to the kingdom of God because their desires have been recognized by the agents. In essence, they are not human at all. Except for the named ones of human gods who are very similar to humans, the other human bodies only have a human-like appearance.

It is actually very difficult to communicate with them using human thinking of pros and cons. Shangguan Yan doesn't think that Lao Ji's agreement is real.

For the other named ones, at least their desires can be guessed through the authority of the gods they belong to, but for these named ones under Xia Shou...it is completely unclear which god they belong to.

What’s even more special is that Xia Shou, who is regarded as the master by these named persons, is not actually a named person.

In the past, she only felt this subjectively. It was only through fragmented information that she learned that there was a connection between "The Season of Falling Stars" and Xia Shou.

But after Xia Shou came out of the book a while ago, she finally confirmed this guess.

She was sure that even in the past, Xia Shou had never been in the kingdom of a god, but in a book.

What exactly is Lao Ji's desire?

If we don't know the desires of these people, then we can't predict their logic of action. The named persons are not human. Using human rational thinking to speculate on their purpose will ultimately lead to tragedy.

Having worked in the Control Bureau for so many years, the vast number of cases of human advents have proven this point.

[Hehe, it's rare to see you so nervous when you lie. ]

The devil's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Shangguan Yan's eyes, which had just relaxed, focused again. She asked casually in a nonchalant tone, "Can I ask, what do you want to do with so many fragments?"

[You don't need to know this. According to the agreement, if you help me get enough Seven-branch Fragments, I will make that kid an exception.] The sheep-headed skull responded with a teasing laugh.

"Oh, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage." She chuckled.

[Haha, you don't have much time left, this is your only chance. ]

　Brothers, this is the only chapter for today. Because I am not good at introducing the complicated life stories of new characters, the long paragraph I wrote during the day was like an instruction manual for the character settings, and it felt unnatural, so I deleted and revised it later, trying to make it as natural as possible... I am really sorry, and I kowtow again and again.
