Terra's Magnetic Field

Gui Shao: "I'm actually an old acquaintance of your Longmen Chief Superintendent Chen Huijie. I met her when I was studying abroad in Victoria. I saw that your last name was Chen and you were from Longmen, so I thought there might be some relationship between you, so I asked her. She said you were her cousin or something, and asked me to take good care of you."

Gui She put away her phone, stood up, patted the handsome boy on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go, we have to work too."

The handsome guy quickly regained his composure. Ordinary people could not even notice his shaking. From an outsider’s perspective, this was just a normal chat between seniors and juniors.

"Am I overly suspicious? Is he warning me? Is he hinting to me that he has seen through me? Is that so?... I hope I am really overthinking..." The handsome guy followed Gui Shao out of the office.

Before work, the two of them have to change into Penguin Logistics uniforms, which are the common hooded sweatshirts in spring and autumn, short sleeves in summer, and now cold-proof jackets.

Texas had prepared a uniform of his size long before the handsome boy came. After the handsome boy put it on, he found Guiqiao filling the thermos cup with water at the water dispenser outside. He looked at the translucent thermos cup from a distance and saw a red mass inside, which was probably soaked wolfberries.

"He looks young, but behaves like an old man..." This was the handsome guy's first impression of Gui Qiao.

That’s all for today.

Chapter 444: Preaching

"Brother, you have such a good temper. That girl was so arrogant that even I couldn't stand it. I wanted to leave right away, but you were able to persuade her in a nice way."

After finishing a day's delivery work, Liangzai and Guiqiao walked together on the streets outside the commercial district. Liangzai talked to Guiqiao about his previous work. He was obviously talking about a strange customer he met in the afternoon, a grumpy dragon girl with black hair.

In this silent dusk, he returned to his sheath and said calmly:

“Our job is to deliver the goods safely to the customers. While delivering the goods, we also convey a sense of security and happiness to the customers.

"It's fate that we met by chance. How can a courier quarrel with a customer? Besides, it's our responsibility that the goods were delivered late. It's okay for her to complain a few times."

“Hey, brother, your words really sound like those of a reliable senior…” The handsome guy was impressed by Gui Qiao’s maturity. He called Gui Qiao “brother” because of this. Gui Qiao himself did not care about the title.

"Maybe..." Gui Shao continued to move forward.

Gui Shao didn't even look at Liangzai during the whole conversation. It wasn't because he was arrogant, but he was still thinking about the crisis he felt in the morning. The feeling was fleeting, and even he could hardly tell from which direction it came.

Now even if he remotely sensed the entire Rhodes Island, he would not have that feeling. He hoped that it was just his overreaction...

Gui Qiao and Liangzai stopped at a traffic light. While waiting for the green light, a group of "shamans" in long robes with a strong religious atmosphere passed by them. Seven or eight pawns were carrying a wooden sedan chair without a roof. The shaman on the sedan chair was wearing more gorgeous clothes. He should be the leader of this group of shamans.

The leader of the charlatan was a black-haired Pero woman who looked like an Easterner. She wore heavy Kabuki-style makeup on her face. She was seen waving her arms and legs in the sedan chair, shouting in a rhythmic voice:

“Destruction is coming…Destruction is coming! Destruction is coming!…Destruction is coming!…”

(I turned to the little monk who summoned the Destruction Body because I had no costumes...)

After the charlatan leader shouted, the minions carrying the sedan chair followed suit, and in a moment the slogan "Destruction is coming" spread throughout the entire street.

"What is this?...Performance art? Or some weird religion?" The bizarre scene before him left the handsome newcomer completely baffled. Although he had heard of many strange things about Rhodes Island during his years in Lungmen, seeing is believing!

Gui Shao still looked calm. He was used to this, so he said to the handsome boy, "You'll get used to it. Rhodes Island has always been a place of religious freedom, which has led to the establishment of many religions that seem unreasonable to the outside world... We usually call these guys the Destroyers. They originated from the East Country and were modified from Buddhism. They worship a supernormal existence that is unknowable to humans, namely the Root Destruction Summoning Body. These guys believe that thing is the incarnation of Buddha."

"The root of destruction that brings about the body?" The handsome boy was even more puzzled after hearing this.

The Pero woman on the sedan chair shouted:

"Greed, ambition, lust, jealousy, hatred! These causes and effects of human beings will eventually lead to the inevitable destruction of the entire civilization! The wars, massacres, acute diseases, natural disasters, etc. on the earth now are all punishments from the gods and Buddhas! The purpose is to punish the arrogant and ignorant humans! It is because humans continue to invade the realm of God under the banner of civilization. We should abandon civilization..."

Gui Shao continued to explain to the handsome boy, "More than 30 years ago, as space was constantly explored and developed by humans, a group of people began to think that humans' continuous exploration of space had angered the gods and Buddhas in heaven, so they advocated limiting the development of civilization and returning to primitive times. This anti-intellectual thinking gave rise to the current religion that worships the root of destruction. Although we definitely think this is nonsense, there are always a group of people who believe it."

"So if you encounter such people, just ignore them. There are no gods or Buddhas in this world. They are just deified individuals..."

Gui Shao glanced at the handsome boy again and asked with a smile, "You don't have any special beliefs, do you? I hope what I said just now didn't offend you."

"No, because I am also an atheist." The handsome guy is naturally not interested in religion. His point of view is that even if there are gods and Buddhas in this world, they must be evil because they allow the suffering in the world to happen and create countless tragedies.

As they were talking, the green light came on. The handsome guy followed Guishao and asked again, "Brother, from the tone you just gave, you seem to hate religion?"

Gui Shao disagreed, "I don't hate religion itself, I just hate those false gods who use the name of gods and Buddhas to do shameful things. There are clowns who claim to be gods popping up every now and then in this land. It's really annoying... I've seen it so many times that I hate them too much."

"I've seen a lot..." The handsome guy muttered. He wanted to continue asking about this, but Gui Shao rubbed his stomach and said to him, "Forget it, don't talk about these things. You must be hungry after working all day. Let's go eat something good this time. It's my treat~"

Before she knew it, Guishao had led the handsome guy to the food street in the commercial district. Here, delicacies from all over Terra were gathered. People from any country could find the "taste of home" here.

The handsome guy noticed that Gui Qiao didn't want to talk about religion and didn't want to spoil the fun, so he followed up on the topic Gui Qiao brought up and asked, "What are we going to eat? Yan Guo cuisine? I can't eat spicy food."

"You are working abroad, how can you eat hometown food in a foreign country? You must eat food that you can't eat in your hometown." Gui Shao stood in front of a Dongguo barbecue restaurant and bent his body backwards to make an extremely exaggerated movement. He stretched out his hand and raised his orchid finger. With an exaggerated expression, he said to the handsome boy, "Hey~ Let's go eat barbecue tonight!!"

The sound of his ostentatious tongue-clicking could be heard throughout the whole street, and this action scared the handsome guy a little. The handsome guy always thought that this guy was quite aloof, but in this place he easily did things that even the big guys in society couldn't do.

Is this person really aloof? Or is he just a person with active inner self but expressionless expression?

"Well... let's just say that..." The handsome guy said awkwardly, "Are you imitating the famous Eastern Special Effects meme? I often saw people doing this a few years ago..."

"on

That's right, liven up the atmosphere," Gui Shao instantly regained his previous calm expression, pretending nothing had happened and straightened his body. The passers-by on the street who saw his strange behavior just now also dispersed elsewhere.

After the handsome guy calmed down, he was still impressed that Gui Qiao had a really good waist. A normal person would easily fall and break a bone after doing this, so Gui Qiao's core strength should be quite strong?

"Why does he look so disappointed in me? Is it because I didn't get the joke he was making?... I'm really getting more and more confused..." The handsome guy thought about the logic behind Gui Qiao's behavior while following Gui Qiao into the barbecue restaurant with the Dongguo sign.

Gui Qiao sat down at the back of the barbecue restaurant. When asked by a handsome guy why she sat in such a remote place, Gui Qiao said that she actually had social phobia and was afraid of being stared at while eating, so she would shyly sit in the most inconspicuous place every time she had a meal.

The handsome guy was wondering in his heart whether Guishao was joking or serious.

The two picked up the menu and chose what they wanted to eat. They were not the type who had trouble making choices. The handsome boy deliberately observed the environment in the store when ordering. What surprised him was that even though it was already meal time, there were still few customers in the store. There were also a few big men with samurai hairstyles and black suits sitting scattered around.

While waiting for the meal, Gui Qiao tapped the plate with chopsticks and told the handsome boy the reason for the treat:

"In fact, treating new employees to barbecue has become the corporate culture of Penguin Logistics. I remember that after my first job, Texas took me to a restaurant."

He seemed to have ADHD, so he held a chopstick in each hand and tapped the plate like a drum. His tapping was quite rhythmic, and it sounded like a rap accompaniment when paired with his words.

“Oh, so that’s how it is… Everyone at Penguin Logistics is very enthusiastic…” The handsome guy was sitting in his seat stiffly, in stark contrast to the casual behavior of Guishao across from him.

"Brother, don't you think this place is weird? There are not many people here during dinner time, and there are a few gangsters sitting there..." The handsome guy finally couldn't help but tell Gui Shao about his suspicions. He didn't care about these guys, and if they really made a fuss they would definitely not be his opponents. But it was not certain for the brother, he didn't want to expose his identity in a place like this to save them.

"You'll get used to it," Gui Shao said without taking it seriously. "There are always some people in Rhodes Island who don't look like good people but are kind-hearted. Maybe these men in suits are just here for team building. There are many guys in this land who look kind but are sinister at heart. They are much more dangerous than these men in suits. Don't judge people by their appearance..."

Just as Gui Qiao was preaching, a shrill scream came from the kitchen in the barbecue restaurant. The sound drowned out Gui Qiao's unnecessary nonsense and also made the men in suits sitting outside restless.

"Yoshi! Let's go!" The man in a suit who was suspected to be the leader gave an order, and the other men in suits followed him into the kitchen. Then there was a series of fighting sounds, and finally a clear gunshot was heard.

"See! I knew it! He is obviously a gangster. I heard gunshots! They must have killed someone! Let's go quickly..." The handsome guy stood up and slapped the table, but Guishe was unmoved.

Gui Shao: "They are just enthusiastic people who heard the screams in the kitchen and went to help. Maybe something happened in the kitchen. The series of sounds just now might be them working together with the store clerk to repair the faulty machine. The last sound was probably the machine starting up successfully."

"Ah?" Gui Qiao's series of words made the handsome guy wonder whether Gui Qiao was talking nonsense or he was abnormal.

While they were talking, the clerk with blood stains on his body came towards them in fear with a tray. His panicked expression clearly showed that he was being coerced.

"Please have some..." The waiter put down the plate. On the plate was a human tongue. The muscles on the tongue were twitching due to the cold, and blood was oozing out from the root of the tongue.

"Oh, it's a cow tongue, it looks quite fresh," Gui Shao picked up the chopsticks and poked the tongue. This reaction shocked the handsome boy, because although the handsome boy had never seen a cow tongue, he at least knew that this thing was a human tongue that had just been torn off!

Gui Shao smiled and picked up the whole tongue with chopsticks, then put it on the fire rack to roast. The tongue kept squirming on the heat, just like the ghost of a dead person.

“………………………………”, the handsome guy had nothing to say about this.

The clerk also looked at Gui Shao with astonishment, then bowed to him and went back to the kitchen in shame.

As soon as the waiter returned to the kitchen, the leader grabbed his neck and pressed him against the wall. The leader asked him, "Take your tongue over?"

Behind the big man was the dead body of the original owner of the store. It turned out that these guys were actually a group of East Country Yakuza who had just arrived in Rhode Island. Their purpose of doing this was to establish their prestige in this neighborhood, and they wanted to scare away customers in this way and let them spread the horror of the Yakuza for them.

These people are all members of the direct branch of the largest underworld organization that is rampant in the East Country. That organization also wants to get a piece of the pie in the mixed Rhodes Island, so they sent them to investigate.

The clerk was so frightened by Gui Shao's behavior that he dared not say anything and just nodded to the big man.

The big man then asked, "Heh~ What was their reaction?"

The big man asked this just to make fun of the guys outside. He had already guessed what the result would be from the horror of the onion clerk.

"The boss has such a bad taste, what else can we do? He must be scared to death and run away." The younger brother sitting on the cart nearby laughed, and the other minions also laughed.

"The man roasted his tongue over the fire... and laughed and talked.

, it doesn’t look like he was scared at all…” The clerk hesitated. He knew that saying this would make these gang members lose face, but if these gang members went out and found that the two were still sitting there chatting and laughing, then he would be even more unlucky.

Really... He is just an ordinary person who came to Rhode Island to work, why did he encounter such a thing? …………

"What?!" the big man shouted in disbelief. He threw the clerk to the ground. When the clerk opened his eyes, he saw the manager staring at him with his eyes wide open. He was so scared that he couldn't even make a sound.

"Boss, the guys outside are so brave, could they be gangsters?" asked the henchman who had made fun of him before. He continued, "I heard that there are also Ursus Gang, Yanguo Gang, Xugula Mafia on Rhodes Island..."

"Baka!" the big man cursed, "So what? This is a good opportunity for them to see how powerful Jidao is! Come with me out!"

The big man walked out of the kitchen with a menacing look, and several younger brothers behind him followed him in a pretentious manner.

Looking back at the scabbard on the table, he sprinkled cumin on the tongue and poked the sizzling hot oil with chopsticks. He said to the handsome boy with interest, "Look, it's almost done. The most indispensable thing for Dongguo barbecue is beef tongue. The meat of this thing is very chewy."

"Brother, as long as you are happy..." The handsome guy used honorifics to address Gui Shao. He had seen many people who were superior to him in momentum in the past, but this was the first time he met someone who was crazier and more abstract than him.

"Kora!" The signature tongue-clicking sound of the Yakuza was heard. The handsome guy quickly looked behind him and saw the big man from before leading a group of younger brothers walking towards him aggressively. It was clear that they were going to cause trouble.

Gui Shao looked like he had been waiting for a long time. When the gang surrounded their seats, he asked with a smile, "Would you like to eat together? Meeting by chance is fate."

Gui Qiao's calmness angered the big man even more. He slammed his hands on the marble tabletop, his face almost touching Gui Qiao's nose. His piercing roar echoed throughout the store:

"Are you kidding me? Do you look down on me, you bastard?! I'll kill you, Kora!!"

"What is the difference between an amateur and an expert? Do you know?" Gui Shao used chopsticks to turn the tongue on the fire rack over, asking and answering himself, "A amateur will keep shouting lame words like "kill you", while the real experts will complete the action when they think of "kill" in their hearts."

"Gu..." The leading man and several other younger brothers were stunned after hearing Gui Shao's words. If they wanted to know why, it was just because the man sitting in front of them had too much aura.

This man's words and actions are more like a Yakuza than the old man in the group, more like a [Boss]

"You gangsters are disqualified," Gui Shao pointed at the black-clad men around him with chopsticks, and said in the picky tone of a food critic commenting on food, "You can't call yourself a gangster just because you wear a neat suit or are tall or kill people. You need to show the corresponding [consciousness] when doing anything. I don't sense any [consciousness] in your actions. Don't you Dongguo people like [consciousness] the most? Or is your so-called consciousness as worthless as benevolence and righteousness?"

"This old man is actually preaching to the Yakuza? What is he doing?" The handsome guy was stunned.

"Guys who don't have awareness will always be just thugs," Gui Shao commented on the men in black around him.

The leading man finally reacted after hearing what he said. His confusion instantly turned into anger. He swung his fist and smashed it at the back of Huishao's head, and yelled, "Stop talking nonsense to me!!"

Gui Qiao did not dodge, and his face was hit directly on the fire rack, making close contact with the red-burned iron plate.

What will happen?

That’s all for today.

Thanks to [Shepard] for the reward of a spicy snack. Your support is the motivation for my creation!

Chapter 445: Making a Fuss

"Wow!" The handsome boy jumped up from his seat in excitement when he saw Gui Shao smashing the fire rack. The long flat tail on his lower back also stood up straight in shock, stabbing like a sword.

"No movement..." The handsome guy stared at the man lying motionless on the table opposite him. The guy who had such an extraordinary aura just now was now motionless like a dead body. He could still twitch a few times even if he still had a breath... Could it be that he was really killed by the big man's punch on the back of the head?

If that's the case... then this Guishao is too weak, isn't he? The handsome guy had heard what he said before and assumed that this guy was very powerful, but how could he be knocked down by a punch from an ordinary Jidao? You can't judge a person by his appearance...

It's incomprehensible. What the hell is going on? The handsome guy is getting more and more confused about what's going on in Rhodes Island.

As soon as the handsome guy stood up, he drew the attention of the gangsters around him.

The leading man raised his lip when he saw the handsome boy's reaction. He regained some confidence amid the panic of the young man. He pulled out the imitation pistol made by Thor Industries from his waist and shouted to his brothers around him proudly:

"What? It's just bluffing!"

Several younger brothers also laughed at this and did not take the handsome guy who had been sitting in the seat seriously at all. In their opinion, this young man was just another frightened pretty boy.

"Ha... huh......" The handsome guy's heavy breathing suppressed the laughter of the gangsters, which attracted the leading man to look at him again. This time he saw a completely different person in this young man.

"You idiots, do you know what you have done? I came here to keep a low profile! You have ruined all my plans! Unforgivable!

"The handsome guy took a deep breath and fiercely questioned these extremely dangerous people around him. The panic he had shown before was gone. After confirming that Guishao had no "smell", he simply took off his disguise and prepared to deal with these third-rate guys.

"So what? You're just a..." The leading man pointed his gun at the handsome guy.

The handsome boy stretched out his hand and held the trigger with his thumb, twisting his hand back to break the big man's wrist, with a crisp bone cracking sound and a scream. The handsome boy withdrew his hand to look at the gun and the severed hand. The cross-section of the severed hand was spurting blood, and the bone fragments on it were connected by fascia.

Warm blood splattered everywhere.

The handsome boy tilted his head to look at the severed hand, showing surprisingly calmness. He casually threw the disgusting thing and the pistol somewhere else, and then challenged in fluent Eastern Chinese, "I don't believe in overtime, so you guys can come together."

The frightened younger brothers finally reacted and drew their swords to confront the handsome guy. They were holding short daggers used for seppuku, which could be conveniently stored inside their suits. These weapons were just like them, half-baked and didn't know their true uses.

The handsome guy who knew a little about the Eastern Underworld could tell at a glance that these guys were just abandoned pawns. They were sent to Rhodes Island just to test the situation. Their superiors probably didn't have much hope for these guys from the beginning.

"You bastard!" One of the guys stabbed the handsome guy with a knife.

The handsome guy knew from his clumsy steps that this guy was a rookie who couldn't even hold a knife, so he dodged to the side and used his backhand to make this guy crash into another minion who was attacking from the opposite side, causing these two guys, who were not in good harmony to begin with, to become even more chaotic.

The handsome guy easily solved these useless things that couldn't even be powered by electricity. He even felt that it was a shame to take action in this situation, but there was nothing he could do...

Looking at the broken limbs and blood on the ground, the handsome guy wondered why the East Country gang would send a rookie to Rhode Island to stir up trouble at this time. Could it be that they had the same purpose as him? Could it be that even the East Country gang wanted to get involved in the affairs of Rhode Island?

Compared to those trivial things, what is more important at the moment is...

The handsome guy was lying on the table, facing the fire.
