However, Old Bai's diary was clearly different from ordinary diaries.
Other people's diaries are all about which school's girls have white thighs, or which school's girl wore shorter shorts today;
Or maybe today they had nothing to do, so they visited brothels to listen to music;
Or... the Witch was so smooth.
But Old Bai's writings were exceptionally profound...
"September 16th, light rain."
"When the sun extinguishes and falls into darkness, on the other side of the world, it is also burning and climbing the clear skies. Therefore, the sun is always rising, always dawn."
"So... when one day, I silently walk into darkness, will there be soone on the other side of the world erging from darkness into light...."
"Who is that person? Is he ? Is he really ?"
Bowing his head, Qiu Tu finished reading Old Bai's diary, which was enveloped in mist and full of philosophy. He looked at Secretary Bai with a face full of confusion and then said, "Old Bai, if you're not feeling well, just tell . I'd stake my position as vice-minister to get you out."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Secretary Bai smiled and closed the diary, then said with absolute clarity, "You're not the kind of person who would sacrifice your future for soone else."
"Plus, I'm not uncomfortable. I am very well."
Qiu Tu pointed out the window to the clear sky and said, "Are you sure? Your diary entry says 'light rain'."
On hearing Qiu Tu's words, Secretary Bai chuckled and then shook his head, "How do you know it's not drizzling now?"
"Are you sure the world you see with your eyes is real enough?"
Qiu Tu:.....
Secretary Bai had always spoken in circles, with so innuendo and intelligence that had to be carefully savored to understand his aning.
And now, after being captured by Qiu Tu, he had beco even more convoluted.
Even, Qiu Tu felt that since he captured him, Secretary Bai seed to develop a detached aura.
It was as if he had completed all his missions, wishes, and had no desires or pursuits for anything, and viewed power, wealth, and life and death with utter indifference.
It was precisely this change that made Qiu Tu feel a bit uneasy.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu tentatively said, "Old Bai. Are you aware of so secret? Are you making so preparations in advance?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Secretary Bai turned around, then looked at Qiu Tu and shook his head, "Qiu Tu, I've already told you all that I should tell, and did everything I should do."
"So, there really is nothing more I can tell you."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's gaze deepened as he studied Secretary Bai, attempting to detect so hint in his expression.
But Secretary Bai's expression was utterly calm, revealing no change at all.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu thought for a mont, then decided to proceed with a planned probe.
So, he said, "Old Bai, do you know that Larilo can possess the followers she chooses and then share their vision and hearing with her followers?"
On hearing Qiu Tu's words, Secretary Bai nodded slightly, then said, "I know."
He explained gently, "In fact, not just her, most Evil Gods have this capability."
"That's why Sanctuary labels so special Fourth-Fifth Order Cataclysmic Creatures as 'Evil Gods', mainly because of their use of the power of faith."
"Possession of a follower is just one of the common abilities of an Evil God."
"So Great Evil Gods of the Fifth Order even have the ability to perceive the thoughts and intentions of their followers."
Hearing Secretary Bai's words, Qiu Tu nodded in realization. It seems Larilo didn't deceive him with this information.
With this in mind, Qiu Tu continued, "Then do you know that Larilo has been possessing you while you were a spy, and even peeked at your diary?"
On hearing Qiu Tu's words, Secretary Bai smiled, then he nodded and said, "That's a possibility."
"It's just.... there's no intelligence in my diary, so even if she looked, she wouldn't get any clues."
Although he said this, Secretary Bai did not express any intention to hand over his diary for Qiu Tu to examine.
Qiu Tu, although still sowhat puzzled, was facing Secretary Bai after all, so he didn't insist on checking.
After a brief ponder, he continued to probe, "Last night, I contacted Larilo."
"Although she is being Devoured by the Bureau Chief, she can still send ssages to the outside world."
Secretary Bai shook his head, "It's useless. She can only contact two types of people."
"One is the follower holding a 'Mitic Coin', a communication-type Cataclysmic Treasure."
"The second is the important follower who has been marked with the 'Believer's Mark' by her."
"For the forr, she doesn't have many 'Mitic Coins'. Apart from the one you have, I've already retrieved the rest."
"As for the latter, I've spent more than half a year clarifying the list and handed it over to the Bureau Chief."
"Other than Zheng Tao and myself—both with Sanctuary identities—before the Bureau Chief enacted the Devouring plan, he had already sent people to eliminate all those important followers."
"Afterward, I deliberately made Zheng Tao oppose you and escalated the situation, letting him send his wife to your side to catch your attention."
"Once the Bureau Chief's plan was exposed, with your personality, you would definitely restrict Zheng Tao."
"So... now, apart from you, Larilo can't contact anyone outside."
Having said this, Secretary Bai couldn't help but ask back, "And would you work for Larilo?"
Hearing Secretary Bai's words, Qiu Tu's gaze beca a bit complex.
Indeed, you should never underestimate anyone.
The seemingly harmless Secretary Bai, was actually a master strategist!
