Chapter 310 80: Reverse Thinking
"Hasam and Naimai have their own careers to develop, and they are not willing to take over the Paradise Node."

"Hedwig focuses on medical treatment. You are familiar with her and should be familiar with her character."

"None of the sorcerers in the Tower of Grace are outstanding and cannot convince the public. After much thought, I think you are the only one who is suitable."

"I had already left a suicide note, but I'm lucky enough to have survived. I can probably hold on for a few more years."

Mr. Li mentioned everyone one by one, and then looked at Louis seriously.

"The path to transcendence is not easy. If we fight against the darkness of human nature, we will probably not live long enough to see the end of our lives."

"People who are too kind, too stubborn, or too evil are not suitable. Even I am not suitable, but you are suitable in my opinion."

"No need to refute. I've observed that you can get along well with most people. The students in the God's Grace Tower also have a good opinion of you. As for Tokyo, I guess you are afraid that I might have some ideas, so you live and teach casually. But I say, there is no need. Just be yourself. If you can deal with Augustus, I will quit my position as president and concentrate on compiling my God's Grace Canon."

After listening to Mr. Li's words, Lewis did not refute or admit it, and his expression was calm.

Outside the secret room where the Baron was locked up was a normal apartment living room. Louis walked silently to the teapot and poured a cup of hot water for Mr. Li.

"President, in this case, would you like to hear my analysis?"

Mr. Li sat down on the chair, took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "It's best if you say it. I'm tired anyway."

Louis nodded, choosing his tone: "The Baron seems to have said nothing, but in fact he has said everything."

"Since the Mother Goddess gathered the Moon Initiators for the Moon Map, that means the Moon Marks of the Moon Initiators are hiding a big secret. Given Augustus' personality, he would definitely want to get involved."

"The Moon Shadow, an organization founded by the Baron, also proves this point. Augustus asked the Baron to bribe and integrate those Moon Initiators who were unwilling to join the official organization. In addition to strengthening their strength, I'm afraid he also had the purpose of conducting research along the lines of the Mother Goddess's integration ideas."

"So, what could it be?" Mr. Li looked closely into Louis' eyes.

"President." Louis took out a pen and a small notebook from his arms, opened a blank page at random, sketched on it, and quickly drew a picture of the moon.

This is a circle with the color of moonlight, and the word moon will come to mind when people see it for the first time.

There are strange patterns rotating in the circle, like alien writing.

Louis drew two.

"The patterns of the moon map can be understood in the positive way." Louis slowly painted the originally blank patterns of the second moon map black, highlighting the edges of the originally dark patterns, "or it can be understood in the reverse way."

"The Mother Goddess claims that those who conform to the Moon Diagram are the Chosen Ones. Then those who do not conform to the Moon Diagram can naturally be considered the Anti-Chosen Ones. It is even possible that this Moon Diagram is the correct one, and the one unified by the Mother Goddess is the reverse one."

Louis calmly laid out all his speculations.

Mr. Li smiled with satisfaction: "You have never seen Lisa's Moon Mark, but you can deduce the facts almost exactly. It's really amazing. Your guess is correct. Lisa's Moon Mark happens to be a part of this reverse moon diagram."

Hearing Mr. Li's confirmation, Lewis did not show any joy on his face, but frowned slightly.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Mr. Li asked.

"The Baron revealed this information on purpose," Louis said with certainty.

"Why do you think so?"

"Although I have never confronted Augustus head-on, I think he will be able to manage the Baron, who is his confidant. Lisa's disappearance was most likely handled by the Baron. There is no reason for him not to know that you have seen Lisa's Moon Mark."

"So the news about collecting six people with the same six scars is fake?"

"You can ask the Special Affairs Bureau whether it's true or not. They shouldn't hide it anymore. The only problem is that we don't know how many people Augustus has gathered. The best result is that neither the Mother Goddess Unity nor the Soul Gathering has gathered enough people. Otherwise, who knows what disaster will happen."

Mr. Li is more inclined to believe that the Baron wants to use them as pawns to hinder the Mother Goddess's unified collection, but he is also confident that they can complete the collection under the premise of being known.

Louis didn't say anything more and seemed to agree with Mr. Li's idea.

"I don't think Augustus will agree to the Baron's exchange for Lisa. He will just try to rescue the Baron. In the next few days, I will take the Baron to Europa. If Augustus contacts you, you can talk to him. Safety comes first."

"I see."

The two continued to exchange some details, and after a while, Mr. Li took the Baron away and left Japan overnight.

Louis immediately abandoned this safe house, erased all traces, and went to the Kyoto Special Affairs Bureau.

Soon.

Where Louis and the Baron met.

Heath appeared in the darkness.

I tried a few techniques, but found that they were restricted.

He could only feel the ground and found the blood-stained mud and stones that the baron had vomited.

"Were you caught?"

Heath frowned, put away the blood-stained stones, and left the place.

In the dark night sky, Ziwei circled again and again, from the core area that had become a ruin to the noisy resettlement area. The soul lamps were filled with wandering souls. It was even the first time he encountered a speed that was faster than the soul lamp's transmission speed.

After collecting another wave of souls, Ziwei stopped and looked below for a suitable building to settle down.

Ziwei flapped his wings and landed on a telephone pole. Looking from his height, the block was bright and dark, probably because of a problem with the power supply line. Many people walked out of the streets, complaining, and many people were numb and dazed, as if they had lost hope in life.

The exhausted police officer sat on the shoulder of the road without caring about his image, his eyes were confused, and he didn't even have much interest in talking.

The reason why Ziwei is collecting souls here is because the Soul Crow originally responsible for Tokyo was affected and died in the battle. Ziwei has nothing important to do for the time being, so he plans to take over for a while. The newly arranged Soul Crow is probably on the way and will arrive soon.

Ziwei now spends most of his time in the void, learning the art of divine grace. When he is free, he collects some souls in advance so that he won't be too busy when new soul crows arrive.

"Can the dead soul crows really accompany the Supreme in heaven?" Ziwei looked up at the gloomy and dark sky and talked to himself.

Ziwei's expression changed and he looked into the distance.

A soul crow was flying towards him.

"Inspector! Thank you for your help." The Soul Crow flew over hurriedly, and when he saw Ziwei, he knew that he was helping him complete the job.

"Where are you coming from?" Ziwei asked curiously.

"There is a Soul Crow's Nest at the foot of Mount Fuji. My child is still not grown up, so I was delayed for two days." The Soul Crow said truthfully. "It's very close." Ziwei can see the existence of Mount Fuji during the day.

"Do you know how many Soul Crows were originally in charge of Tokyo? I guessed that the Soul Crows died in the war because I saw too many stranded souls. But Tokyo is so big, there should be more than one Soul Crow in charge, right?" Ziwei asked.

Soul Crow tilted his head: "My wife and I are in charge. I took care of the children for a while, and Tokyo can only be taken care of by my wife temporarily."

Ziwei was speechless for a few seconds before saying, "Sorry."

Soul Crow was confused: "Sorry? What does that mean?"

Ziwei was silent for a while before saying, "Aren't you sad that your wife died here?"

"Sad? Do you mean uncomfortable? A little bit, but she went to the highest place in advance. We will eventually meet on the highest tree of heaven. I think she will prepare a nest for me in advance." Soul Crow said as a matter of course.

Ziwei did not do the disrespectful thing of asking the other party whether he really believed in topics like the Supreme Being and heaven.

"Do you think of her sometimes?"

"We will meet naturally after I complete the task. There is no need to think about it all the time. That means you are not serious about your work!" Soul Crow suddenly became very serious.

This soul crow made Ziwei feel out of place.

He missed Little Soul Crow a little.

As expected, only a few Soul Crows possess complete emotions.

Only those who possess complete emotions can be considered truly intelligent creatures.

He didn't know whether this sentence was correct or not, but he vaguely felt that the lack of emotion was not a good thing.

"Perhaps, I can encourage the Soul Crow to follow the Divine Grace Warlock, so that they can become partners and develop feelings." The more Ziwei thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

Divine Grace Warlocks are different from ordinary people. They are more or less aware of the existence of Soul Crows and are ordered not to harm them.

Now he is an official member of the Heaven Node and also a Divine Grace Warlock, which makes it easier for him to manage the relationship between humans and crows, and he can become a bridge of mutual trust between Soul Crows and humans.

Soul crows can help divine favor warlocks a lot, and they can also get emotional feedback from them. Over time, more and more beings like themselves will appear.

"Then I'll leave Tokyo to you, is that ok?" Ziwei looked at Hun Ya. He now just wanted to return to the Heaven Node as soon as possible to discuss the specific matters with Mr. Li.

"Don't worry! I will complete the mission!" The Soul Crow looked determined. Without resting, it flapped its wings and left the telephone pole, collecting wandering souls everywhere.

Ziwei looked at his receding figure, sighed like a human, and flew towards the safe house that only he knew about.

Guan Junyan did not wait until tomorrow to tell Noguchi that Jingquan was going to Iki Island with the people from the Natural Kingdom, but told him shortly after Jingquan left.

"Well, okay, this matter has nothing to do with you from now on. Just pretend you don't know. I will handle it."

Takeshi Noguchi hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and called Chiharu Tashiro.

"Tashiro, did Izumi look for you?"

"Huh? No, he did send me a message expressing his concern for me, which is rare. However, he didn't reply when I asked him about it. Did something happen?" Although Tashiro's tone was calm, Noguchi could still detect a hint of nervousness.

Currently, Tashiro is busy with many things in Tokyo in cooperation with Kuroki, and Noguchi does not want the news of Izumi's departure to affect her.

"Oh, I see. It's okay. She has an important and urgent mission to be arranged. She will be away from your team for a while and cannot be contacted. I understand. We will replenish the team as soon as possible."

"Danger is inevitable, but do you not trust her ability to save her life?"

"Okay, your injury hasn't healed yet. You should learn to let go of those matters that have nothing to do with Chaofan and let the department handle them."

Noguchi put down his phone and thought alone.

"Natural Kingdom. Do they know something about the Mother Goddess's unification? Or are they just gathering intelligence? Why do they have to involve Jingquan? What does this have to do with Jingquan?"

Noguchi didn't know much about this organization, mainly because he had no access to it.

If Noguchi wanted to learn more about this organization with his network of connections, he could only find William.

It just so happened that this guy had successfully settled in Japan for some unknown reason, and claimed that he was tasked with the secret mission of persuading Abe to give up his support for Ricky, but it was unclear whether it was true or false when it came out of his mouth.

"The Natural Kingdom! I know it so well!"

The reception room of the Kyoto Prefecture Special Affairs Bureau.

William was as casual as if he was back home, eating the fruit on the table and talking about some interesting things he encountered when he was an ambassador to the Kingdom of Nature.

"In fact, humans in werewolf form can still be quite rational, and even have the ability to mate. I've seen two males before."

"Ahem, what I'm asking is, what do you think about their people coming here to investigate the integration of the Mother Goddess?" Noguchi helplessly brought William back to the topic that had gone off to some unknown place.

"Oh, in my opinion, the possibility is very small. Their leader, Lord Wolf, is not very ambitious. On the contrary, the human beside him, Sandberg, hates humans far more than Lord Wolf." William analyzed, "Even so, there is no reason for them to reach out here and go directly to a place like Iki Island. Given Sandberg's personality, he would definitely not use such a risky method to contact the Mother Goddess after such a long time."

"So, are you sure that he is really from the Kingdom of Nature? Now there are extraordinary cats and foxes, maybe it's a werewolf from a different force."

William seemed to remember something: "I heard that the Soul Gathering was of great help to the early Natural Kingdom."

Noguchi nodded: "In other words, it is possible that the Soul Assembly is involved?"

William shrugged and stuck out a non-stick pan: "Now I'm not from the Special Affairs Bureau, I can only give you my own guess, it's not true, you need to judge for yourself and see who will appear more reasonably."

Noguchi did not continue to ask questions. He just drank his tea and lowered his head in thought. The conference room fell into silence.

"Are you interested in entering Iki Island?" Noguchi suddenly asked.

William was startled, then smiled: “Of course I’m very interested.”

He didn't dare to pursue the clues of the Extraordinary Cat. After knowing the secret last time, he almost burst into pieces. It seemed more like a self-warning that he must not explore further. Otherwise, those secrets were known to too few people and he was not qualified to know them. If he forced himself to know them, he would probably die the next morning after hearing the truth.

Iki Island undoubtedly holds many secrets, but I just don’t have an excuse to go and see them.

After all, Noguchi is an old friend. He wouldn't do something like sneaking into Iki Island without telling anyone. Probably.
