After the two sat down, Ms. Z asked directly, "Wanqi, you took Virtin to Aurora, right?"

"Yes, it's our tradition to come home and visit often."

"So...which Aurora did you take Virtue to?"

When Ms. Z asked this question, she was very nervous. Even though she was confident about the matter, there was still a key point that she was not sure about: how much Wan Qi cared about the fact that "I come from another world".

If you unfortunately encounter the option of extreme secrecy, then the subsequent developments will likely be tragic.

However, judging from the fact that Wanqi has already taken Virtine there, this matter is negotiable, and Wanqi has already taken the initiative to lay his cards on the table with Virtine.

Of course, Wilting is special, but there are two different things: that others already know about him and that others don't know about him at all.

"Sister Zhang is very perceptive. When did you notice?"

Wan Qi looked relaxed, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

When it comes to secrets, if you're not powerful enough, you'll be guilty of possessing a treasure that's dangerous. But if you're powerful enough, others will be eager to cooperate with you, and everything will be negotiable. They can even become Wanqi's friends.

"To be honest, this is the result of the investigation by Pigeon House," Ms. Z said frankly.

"Then it's not surprising." After all, the president is an old man, so it's not surprising that he would discover that he is a visitor from another world. Besides, Wan Qi's attitude towards keeping this matter a secret has not been very high from the beginning.

So what if I know? What can you do to me?

Being strong means you can do whatever you want!

Ms. Z took a deep breath. She knew that the questions that followed were crucial to her, the entire foundation, and even the future of the Human Party and humanity.

"Wanqi, is there a 'heavy rain' in your hometown?"

Anticipation and nervousness were both evident on Ms. Z's face. It wasn't that she lacked composure; it was simply because this matter was of paramount importance to all of human civilization.

"No, and I also have a way to be immune to 'rainstorm'."

Vanchi's answer was perfect, exactly what the St. Love Foundation needed at that moment.

A stable trading base and resource acquisition point, as well as powerful allies.

At the same time, Ms. Z was still somewhat clear-headed, thankful that Wanqi's attack on the St. Love Foundation was only a brief encounter and did not immediately enter the Great West/King mode. Otherwise, if the Foundation and Wanqi were to fight to the death, the other party could directly take Veltin to the Hand of Reconstruction, or simply set up their own faction, and the Foundation would instantly have another hellish enemy.

Putting everything else aside, the Foundation has no way to deal with the means of traversing worlds. Wan Qi essentially has an absolutely safe rear base. Coupled with his own extraordinary strength, he can truly outlast the Foundation through patience and a protracted war, and the manner in which they die is entirely up to them.

"Wan Qi, I think the cooperation between Si Chen's team and the foundation should be strengthened."

This sounds ridiculous. What do you mean by cooperation between the Foundation and the Sichen Squad? But Ms. Z's attitude is very much in line with the current status of both parties.

The foundation needs Si Chen's team, and even more so, Wan Qi's help, but for Wan Qi, their actual value is currently very low.

Like I said, what can you do if they just forcibly take it from you?

Force is the foundation of order, and organizations and individuals whose martial virtue is broken are so weak.

While we still have the chance to sit down and chat, let's quickly build relationships, cooperate, and form alliances. Forget about anything else; recognizing reality is more important than anything else.

To put it more bluntly, Wan Qi, relying on his current world-class resources, can easily find the right departments, organizations, and companies to cooperate with the foundation.

Before long, those organizations will tell the foundation, "You're a good person, let's stop contacting each other. I'm afraid Mr. Wan Qi will misunderstand, because I've already taken his form."

Alright, no need to try anymore. The Foundation can just declare its disintegration. An organization far more powerful, even terrifying, will rise from the Foundation's corpse and move towards a new world.

Doesn't that sound like the birth of the Soviet Union?

In short, anything can be discussed. If the Si Chen Squad can belong to the Foundation, then why can't the Foundation join the Si Chen Squad? Where there's a will, there's a way. And if you're thick-skinned enough, you can even turn cow dung into meat.

If you can't think straight, try opening your legs first, and your mind will open up (I'm sure of it).

It's been successfully completed, isn't it?

“I agree, but this kind of cooperation should have a suitable intermediary. Sister Zhang, do you have any ideas?” Wan Qi asked with a smile.

“Then, according to the classical tradition of Aurora, I can recommend myself,” Ms. Z replied with a smile.

A satisfactory cooperation agreement was thus reached.

It goes without saying that this matter will have a profound impact. The fact that Ms. Z can obtain stable supplies through the Sichen Squad alone is enough to allow the power of her faction and its allies to expand rapidly.

The adult world is complicated, full of intrigue and backstabbing.

The adult world is simple: it's all about shared interests.

You may dislike me as a person, but you will never dislike my money.

Whether you're a mystic or an ordinary person, you still need to eat and live your life. There are plenty of families and factions within the foundation. It's rare for one person to be full and the whole family to be free of hunger.

Once these people become clients of the Si Chen Squad, they will inevitably have to consider the Si Chen Squad's attitude when making daily decisions. Ms. Z can then naturally exert her influence in this direction. In this way, the power of the Human Party will be diluted, at least not as extreme as before.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Zhang."

Wan Qi's answer essentially set the tone for the matter, and Virtin wouldn't object. As for the attitude of the St. Love Foundation headquarters...

What is your attitude? (Nuclear goodwill)

With the business concluded, Ms. Z changed the subject and asked, "How are things going with your relationship with Virtue?"

When Wan Qi recalled Ms. Z's earlier words, "Vilting is still young, you must be careful and take proper precautions," he quickly explained, "Sister Zhang, Wilting is only sixteen years old. I'm not an animal. It's not that serious, really not."

"Yes, I believe you." Ms. Z nodded, a smile on her face like that of an elder looking at a younger person.

"That's great, I thought I was going to be unable to defend myself." Wan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, has Virtin started actively pursuing you?"

Wanqi's expression: (dwd'i)!

"Sister Zhang, can you tell fortunes?"

Ms. Z adjusted her glasses, smiled, and shook her head, saying, "I'm also considered Virtue's guardian. She's a very strong-willed child, and she'll do her best in anything she wants to do. So, when she sets her sights on someone, she'll definitely go all out for them. I'm sure you've already experienced that."

Wan Qi nodded. The succubus Veltin's destructive power was too explosive. Her armor-piercing, silence, critical strike, and true damage skills were limited to one use in any game.

Ms. Z said with some nostalgia, "Vildin's personality was actually very mischievous, a bit of a devil. She was also very clever and quick-witted. She was a headache for the teachers when she was in school, but all of that disappeared when she became Sichen."

"That's why politicians must be humane; they shouldn't lose their humanity as they learn," Wan Qi said coldly.

Ms. Z sighed. She knew that not long ago, Wan Qi, along with Wilting and Little Mesmer, had revealed in Constantine's office what Constantine had done to Wilting years ago. To Wilting at this point, Constantine had gone from being a high-ranking member of the foundation to the executioner who murdered his childhood friend.

Given Virtue's personality, she would definitely retaliate, and for those in power, having their power gradually eroded is the most painful thing.

Murder is too easy. If Virtin had just asked Wanzi for help back then, Constantine would have been able to pass away the following week.

But that doesn't count as revenge. For revenge to happen, the other party must feel the same or even twice as much despair as you did back then.

In this matter, Ms. Z will not plead for Constantine. She opposed resolving the issue this way from the beginning because it was solving the problem by creating a new one, just like the Western politicians' tactic of covering up a bigger problem with an even bigger one.

The problem may seem to have disappeared, but in reality, the contradictions have accumulated and will explode sooner or later. At most, it won't affect the people who planted the landmines back then.

But for the vast majority of Western politicians, the fact that the explosion didn't happen during their term is a victory, so they generally adopt this "whatever happens after me" approach.

Now look what's happened, nuclear bombs are coming at your doorstep. You'd better figure out how to deal with it yourselves, just don't let the blood splatter on me.

“Wanqi, Virtue… haven’t had a good time these past few years.”

"Yes, I know all of that."

When Wan Qi was searching for her in the labyrinth of Virtue's memories, she had already gone through all those most unforgettable and unbearable memories. In a sense, she knew better than Virtue what she had experienced in the past.

“Logically speaking, I am Wilting’s guardian, but I haven’t been able to help her much in her case.” Ms. Z looked out the window and said sadly, “Once, after Wilting returned from a field mission, she locked herself in her room. I heard sobbing from inside, but when I knocked on the door, she appeared in front of me without any sign of distress.”

"Ms. Z, is there a new mission?"

"...Vildin, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just a little tired and want to rest. Is it a new mission?"

"No, there are no missions for now. You should get some rest."

"Okay, thank you, goodnight."

"Good night……"

Ms. Z looked at Wan Qi with a wry smile: "It was daytime, but Vilting still managed to control her emotions. Apart from a minor slip of the tongue, she seemed perfectly fine. Do you know how terrifying that is?"

Wan Qi nodded, fully able to imagine the scene at that time.

“After that, I tried to communicate with Veltin and take her out to play. I once thought that I knew this girl well enough. Veltin was also growing up, and these difficulties would pass, until... she used her suitcase for the first time and tried to protect her friends in the 'storm'.”

"She failed." Wan Qi's expression was equally grim.

According to Virtue, the failure was a huge blow to her, but Wan Qi, Xingzhuo, and Apple, who were listening at the time, had not experienced the scene firsthand; they only heard about the result from Virtue.

But in Virtin's memory, what Wan Qi saw was...

"No! No! It shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be like this! Why? Why!!!"

Inside the room inside the box, Virtin clutched her friend's clothes and wept uncontrollably. Just minutes before, they had been laughing and talking about how the downpour would rewind time to some point, and whether they should visit historical sites from that era to meet historical figures.

Then, in front of Virtue, her friend disappeared.

Just like that rainy night when she escaped from the First Line of Defense Academy.

At that time, Virtue did not know that her escape was known to others and that she was maliciously misled. The answer she got from her friend's departure was—it was all my fault.

She was alone in her memory; there was no one else in the room at that moment, and Veltine received no comfort.

After the mission, Wilting rested for a month, but Ms. Z did not know that during that time, Wilting suffered from severe PTSD. She would vomit involuntarily whenever she saw the suitcase left by her mother. She felt that her friend's corpse had merged with the suitcase, and in her dreams, she questioned her mother for not protecting her. Wasn't it said that as long as she entered the suitcase, she would be immune to the "rainstorm"?

This was quite a serious problem. At the time, Wilting had just turned fourteen, but she managed to control her emotions and pretend that nothing was wrong. Even when she felt unwell, she would take care of it in her room. She wouldn't even go to the doctor because she was worried that her condition would become a new weakness and give the eyes that were secretly watching her other ideas.

She has always been very perceptive about the people and things around her, and her judgments are almost always correct.

So how do you deal with your own PTSD problem?

Numbness replaces trauma.

During her days off, Virtue would reach into the box again and again, only to vomit violently each time. Yet she would not utter even a slightly loud cry. She would wipe the vomit from the corners of her mouth in the toilet and continue until her body had completely adapted.

And so, on the twentieth day, Virtue, seemingly without any abnormality, carried his suitcase to Ms. Z.

"I feel I've rested enough and can continue to carry out the mission."

At this time, apart from looking a little thin and having a poor complexion, Virtue was otherwise in good health.

"No need to rush, there's plenty of time."

"Anyway, staying in the room is pretty boring, so I'm going out on a mission to clear my head."

Ms. Z did not notice anything unusual, but gave a few more instructions before letting Virtue leave.

The human spirit is a container, and every container has its limits.

To outsiders, Virtue was the perfect Sichen; no one was more suited to walk in the "storm" than her.

But she herself was already riddled with wounds, and no one knew when she would shatter. When others saw her giving her all for the mission, they didn't know that this girl running in the "rainstorm" was actually trying hard to find her companions.

"If there truly is a God in this world, please let me meet another person walking in the 'storm'."

Veldine pleaded like this more than once, but after each plea, her reason told her that it was impossible.

Ms. Z stood up and sat down next to Wan Qi, took his hand and said, "Wan Qi, you are the only one who can wipe away Virtine's tears when she cries. From now on, I'll leave Virtine to you. Please take good care of her."

Wan Qi nodded earnestly and said, "Okay!"

Longmen Governor's Office

Standing before the massive electronic sand table, Wei Yanwu's expression was icy. He snorted and said, "There's no mistake, it's that Black Serpent's doing. He's playing a big game this time. The doves in Ursus didn't notice anything beforehand."

"Is it possible that Speaker Witt is also deceiving us this time?" Wen Yue asked.

“That possibility isn’t out of the question.” Lu Yanwu took a drag of his cigarette and said calmly, “Whether they’re doves or hawks, they’re all factions within the Ursus Empire. Their way of thinking will inevitably be on the side that’s most advantageous to them. The reason Speaker Witt is a dove isn’t because he likes peace, but because in the current international environment, it’s more advantageous for the Ursus Empire to maintain peace with Yan. In other words, he could easily switch sides if war were more beneficial to Ursus. However, he is, after all, the speaker, and he won’t easily change his overt political leanings. Getting him to make a clear statement is extremely difficult, and I don’t think that old black snake can afford such a high price. So, he’ll most likely remain neutral. But we also need to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.”
