The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Chapter 691 An O. Henry-esque farce that ends abruptly!

After he finished speaking, the entire office fell silent once again.

Li Weiguo looked at Zhang Daoxuan's resolute face, then glanced out the window at the land he had protected his entire life.

"Phew!"

After a long while, he let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to expel all the stale air from his lungs.

He pulled another cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

In the smoke, his eyes became as deep as the night outside the window.

"OK."

Finally, he nodded: "Since you've put it that way, let's take a big gamble and ask the Night's Watch to come out of seclusion and help us."

……

The nights in Longjing haven't been this quiet in a long time.

The entire capital, like a giant beast crouching in the darkness, fell into a deep sleep, its daytime clamor silenced.

Only on the main roads were there scattered traffic flows, like red blood slowly flowing in the city's veins.

But in the Supreme Command's operations command center, the scene was quite the opposite of this tranquility.

The light here is brighter than the midday sun, illuminating everyone's face.

Moreover, there was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

In front of the holographic star map, Zhang Daoxuan was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He would occasionally look up at the star map, then repeat the pacing motion, clearly displaying an uneasy demeanor.

"Old Li..."

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Daoxuan finally stopped and looked at Li Weiguo: "Old Li, where is Senior Wang Cang?"

Behind him, Li Weiguo shoved the cigarette butt into the ashtray, which was already overflowing with cigarette butts.

"How would I know? The message was sent half an hour ago... it should have arrived by now."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the air in the very center of the command center suddenly distorted.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Zhang Zhen, who was passing by with a cup of coffee, was so startled by the sudden scene that his hand trembled, and he almost spilled the scalding coffee all over his crotch.

The man was wearing a white vest, a straw hat, and carrying a pipe; he looked every bit the unremarkable retired old man.

If it's not Wang Cang, then who is it?

As soon as he appeared, he frowned and looked around, then fanned the air in front of his nose with a look of disgust: "Hey you kids, can't you smoke less?"

"This smoke is so thick it's practically the Heavenly King's palace! Even this old smoker is finding it hard to stand!"

"And what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Are you a night owl?"

Upon hearing this, Li Weiguo's eye twitched, and he quickly stepped forward, his attitude respectful: "Senior, please don't tease us, it's just..."

"What did I joke about?"

Wang Cang glared at them, his tone perfectly justified: "You called me back from Kunlun Ruins, did you run into some trouble again? What? Can't I even say a few words to you?"

After being lectured like this, Li Weiguo didn't dare to utter a single word, and just scratched his head sheepishly.

Wang Cang ignored Li Weiguo and looked around, not finding the person he was looking for. He then asked疑惑地, "By the way, where's Gu? Where is he?"

Beside him, Zhang Daoxuan gave a wry smile and went to greet him: "Elder Wang, Commander Gu has gone to the Elf Forest plane to fight against the alien races, and he won't be back for a while!"

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be bothering you in the middle of the night, would we?"

"Oh? Gu went to fight the alien race?"

Hearing this, Wang Cang's brow twitched slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "When did he become so diligent?"

After all, in his mind, Gu Xu was the type who would rather lie down than sit, and rather sit than stand.

If Sherlock weren't in danger and needed him to be a nuclear-powered donkey to carry the flag, he would love to take a day off.

This is completely out of character for leading people to fight against alien races.

"Well, it's a good thing he's going to fight against the alien races. After all, if we pacify all the alien races around our Divine Xia, we can finally have some peace!"

But soon, Wang Cang waved his hand with a grin and stopped dwelling on the issue.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, by the way, I've almost wiped out the alien races over at Kunlun Ruins too!"

"From now on, we basically won't need to put in much effort to guard that area!"

However, after he finished speaking, everyone in the command center who had been eavesdropping felt a jolt of shock.

A look of bewilderment crossed their faces.

What did they hear?

Kunlun Ruins... leveled?

Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of shock in each other's eyes, clearly taken aback by the news.

"Old Wang? When did this happen? How come we didn't know anything about it?"

Subconsciously, Li Weiguo asked a question with a bewildered look on his face.

After all, the news came as quite a surprise.

"Oh? I haven't had a chance to tell you about what happened yesterday!"

"I was bored at the time, so I took a stroll deep into Kunlun Ruins. Those bastards thought I was the same as before, and the entire demigod clan came over to kill this old man!"

"And then... that was it!"

As he spoke, Wang Cang lit his pipe and took a leisurely puff.

As Wang Cang finished speaking, the command center became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Clearly, everyone was stunned by Wang Cang's nonchalant narration.

The enormous threat that had plagued Sherlock for centuries ended in such a farcical way?

This is such an O. Henry ending!

However, while everyone was shocked, they also felt a sense of helplessness.

How so?

That is... ever since this old man broke through to the Origin level with the help of the "Source of God" given to him by Gu Xu some time ago, his whole demeanor seems to have gone a bit strange.

In the past, Wang Cang was the pillar of Shenxia, ​​guarding Kunlun with unwavering stability.

Although he can be quite sarcastic.

But he always carried a heavy sense of responsibility.

But now, he gives the impression of someone who has completed a very difficult game.

Go back to the beginner village and crush the max-level players.

It highlights the idea of ​​doing whatever one pleases.

"Alright, I'll tell you about this later. What's the matter that's making you all so nervous? And why did you call me over in the middle of the night? Tell this old man first."

With Wang Cang speaking, Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo quickly came to their senses and ordered someone to bring up the holographic star map.

Pointing to the red dots that were getting closer and closer.

"Mr. Wang, look at this."

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang's gaze fell on the star map. After looking at it for a while, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his expression became serious.

"These are...those false gods? Are they coming to attack?"
