Chapter 185 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 35
The conference room door was tightly closed, completely isolating it from the outside noise. The interior lighting was slightly dim, and a long conference table occupied most of the space. Around it sat high-ranking leaders from the Ministry of State Security, experts from various fields, Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu, as well as members of special departments.
From the very beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was heavy, with everyone's face filled with seriousness and solemnity.
The meeting was chaired by an elderly man with gray hair but sharp, eagle-like eyes; he was the commander-in-chief of this operation by the Ministry of State Security.
At the meeting, Shen Chumo stood up calmly. She first nodded slightly to everyone.
He then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the crisis we are facing now is urgent. Judging from the recent frequent events, those supernatural phenomena are gradually breaking through the defenses we have set up, causing a huge impact on people's lives and the stability of the whole society."
As she spoke, she gestured for the presentation file to be opened.
A series of chilling images appeared on the screen: in a hospital, medical equipment malfunctioned inexplicably, blood-like liquid seeped from the walls of the ward, and patients screamed in terror.
In the school, the library books seemed to be controlled by some force, flying wildly as students ran in all directions; and in the city's underground passages, amidst the flickering lights, one could vaguely see ghostly figures moving through them.
These are all popular videos online right now, which is enough to prove that these strange things are happening more and more frequently.
The expressions on everyone's faces were not good.
The conference room was silent, with only the faint sound of the projector fan whirring.
Shen Chumo: "Everyone has seen the essence of the problem and is well aware of the urgency of the current situation, so now is the time for us to stand up."
Shen Chumo's eyes were firm, and his voice was steady and powerful, like a resounding bell in the silence, every word filled with determination.
The meeting lasted a full day, with each person asking sharp and pointed questions, which Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu answered one by one with composure and determination.
Most importantly, they demonstrated their immense power.
As the discussions deepened, the two critical decisions concerning life and death—the God-Making Plan and the Annihilation Plan—were finally officially approved through everyone's joint efforts.
After the meeting ended, everyone left the conference room one after another.
Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu walked side by side, both of them breathing a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the commander-in-chief walked up to them, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Comrades, you carry the hopes of humanity on your shoulders. This plan is a do-or-die battle, but I believe you have the ability to do it."
Shen Chumo: "Commander-in-Chief, rest assured, we will do our utmost."
Shen Qianyu nodded slightly, "We are prepared. No matter how great the difficulties ahead, we will not back down."
The commander-in-chief looked at them and a relieved smile appeared on his face. "Good, with your words, I can rest assured."
After leaving the Ministry of State Security building, the moon hung high in the sky, like a silver disc.
Shen Qianyu and Shen Chumo returned to the villa. As soon as they opened the door, Cheng Tianqi rushed out.
"Master, you're finally back." Cheng Tianqi's voice was filled with relief after his anxiety.
The four demons stood quietly watching from behind, their expressions blank. After all, they had only signed a contract with Shen Qianyu a few days ago, so naturally they had no feelings for her.
Shen Qianyu didn't care.
Cheng Tianqi looked the two of them over from left to right, his face full of worry. Only when he saw that neither of them was missing any limbs did he feel relieved. His tense body relaxed and he let out a soft breath.
"Master, I haven't been able to contact you for the past two days, and I was so worried about you."
Shen Qianyu reached out and pushed Cheng Tianqi's head away with her index finger.
"How old are you? You're still acting like a little kid."
Cheng Tianqi was pushed back a small step, but then immediately came closer and said with a grin, "Master, I'm just worried about you! You don't know, I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past two days, I'm just afraid something might happen to you."
Shen Chumo looked at Cheng Tianqi, a hint of a smile in her eyes, "No wonder you have dark circles under your eyes."
Cheng Tianqi paused, as he cared most about his face. "Shen Chumo, don't talk nonsense. How could someone as handsome as me have dark circles under my eyes?"
Cheng Tianqi said aggrievedly, "Master, why didn't you take me with you to catch ghosts? You only took her. We were both accepted as disciples on the same day. Why can she go but I can't?"
Shen Qianyu yawned. After being busy for so many days, she was actually quite sleepy. She twisted her neck.
As they walked inside, he asked, "How's your talisman-drawing going these past two days?"
"Master, I can now complete a piece in one stroke." His face beamed with a proud smile.
As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his pocket and waved it in front of Shen Qianyu. "Master, look, this talisman is perfect in terms of both the infusion of spiritual power and the smoothness of its lines."
His eyes gleamed, clearly very satisfied with his work.
Shen Qianyu took the talisman and examined it carefully. "Hmm, not bad, you've improved. It seems you haven't been slacking off these past two days." She gently patted Cheng Tianqi's shoulder to encourage him.
"I'll teach you something new tomorrow, but Chu Mo and I need to rest now, so you should go back to your room too."
Seeing Shen Qianyu and Shen Chumo looking exhausted, Cheng Tianqi felt a little annoyed. "Alright, Master, you two get some rest. I'm going back to my room too. I'll wait for you to teach me something new tomorrow."
After saying that, he skipped and hopped towards his room, humming a cheerful little tune.
Watching Cheng Tianqi's departing figure, Shen Chumo smiled and said to Shen Qianyu, "This man is really full of energy. I hope he can keep up this enthusiasm. Maybe he can really become a formidable figure in the future."
"Yes, he has potential and is willing to work hard, but he still needs more training. However, the current situation is too chaotic, and we don't know where the future will lead."
Shen Qianyu frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Shen Chumo knew that Shen Qianyu was blaming herself again because of those things. Ever since Shen Qianyu learned that the world's disaster was caused by her, she had been in a depressed mood.
Shen Chumo sighed softly, lowered her eyes, and asked, "Master, if one day you were to sacrifice yourself to save the people of this continent, would you be willing?"
Shen Qianyu was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Shen Chumo to suddenly ask such a question.
She paused for a moment, her gaze becoming deep and complex. "I don't know."
She said slowly, "I don't want to be a hero, and I'm afraid of death."
However, if it really comes to that, perhaps I would choose to sacrifice myself.
After all, there are many innocent people in this world who shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes.
