Chapter 38

Keisha's Determination

Within the consciousness space, a scene of Cang Yu and A Zhui conversing in the kitchen is being projected onto the light screen.

"Tsk," Liang Bing crossed her arms and pouted somewhat unhappily.

"See? This kid's tolerance and patience for his 'white moonlight' is extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, He Xi elegantly picked up her teacup, a playful smile curving her lips, and slowly said:

"Oh? I'd better take a good look at this. The mighty Demon Queen of the known universe, Morgana, who has lived for over 30,000 years, is actually here, facing a mere Earth girl in her early twenties... Is she feeling a bit sour?"

"Pah! Who's jealous!" Liang Bing retorted immediately, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Your Majesty, I just think this little brat has terrible taste! That girl named Qilin, besides being a bit naive, what else does she have? How can she compare to us... uh..."

She stopped mid-sentence, seemingly realizing that the comparison that followed was not quite right.

He Xi took an elegant sip of tea, then slowly added insult to injury:

"Oh? 'Us'? It seems someone has unconsciously placed us old guys on the same scale as that twenty-something-year-old girl."

"You!" Liang Bing was furious, but couldn't find the words to refute him, so she could only glare fiercely at He Xi.

Keisha remained lost in thought, not joining in the bickering.

He Xi and Liang Bing exchanged a few words before He Xi finally noticed Keisha's unusual silence.

She frowned slightly, staring intently at the light screen, her fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly on the sofa armrest.

He Xi noticed Keisha's unusual silence and couldn't help but speak, her tone less playful and more serious than before:

"Hey, tomboy, what have you been thinking about for so long?"

Keisha slowly raised her eyelids, her expression unusually serious: "The sudden appearance of the mutant beast today gives me a bad feeling."

Her words made He Xi and Liang Bing immediately composed themselves, realizing that things might not be so simple.

"I have a feeling," Keisha continued, her voice low.

"This may only be the beginning. In the future, there will likely be more crises that exceed our expectations and even our understanding."

She turned her gaze to Liang Bing and made her decision:

"Therefore, regarding your previous suggestion to inform Youyue of our current situation... I think we can give it a try."

We need a 'spokesperson' who can act more flexibly in the modern world.

The three exchanged a glance, their eyes already holding the answer.

A-Jie stood before Dukao, meticulously reporting what he had seen and heard that evening:

A mysterious and powerful monster (the Evil Ginseng Beast), Cang Yu who can transform into armor and use spatial abilities, and two angels whose attitudes are unclear.

Dukao sat upright in the control room, listening intently to the report that far exceeded his expectations.

Fingertips tapped unconsciously on the cold metal tabletop, producing rhythmic soft sounds in the silent room.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, slowly leaned back in his chair, and sighed as he gazed at the ceiling:

"These are turbulent times..."

This sigh contained a mixture of worry about the situation spiraling out of control and a heavy sense of pressure in the face of unknown variables.

Dukao stood up, walked to the projection screen, and his gaze fell on the evil ginseng beast and Cang Yu on the screen.

"A monster beyond our comprehension... a powerful being of unknown origin who can easily defeat monsters..." He seemed to be talking to himself, yet also analyzing the roses behind him.

He whirled around, his sharp gaze fixed on Rose: "Rose, what do you think of this Cang Yu?"

After a moment of silence, Rose replied objectively:

"He is very strong and unfathomable. Moreover, he seems to know us very well. But his stance, at the moment, does not appear to be that of an enemy."

"Not enemies, but not necessarily friends either," Dukao said in a deep voice.

"Until we ascertain his true intentions and background, the Super God Academy must maintain the highest level of vigilance. A-Jie!"

"Yes!" A-Jie responded immediately.

"Use all non-invasive means to know everything he does. At the same time, strengthen monitoring of abnormal energy fluctuations globally. I don't believe tonight's events are an isolated case."

"I object to this order!"

Rose's cool voice broke the silence of the command room. She stepped forward, her gaze fixed directly on Dukao:

"Using this kind of surveillance will only push potential friends to the side of enemies! We can sense that he, at least for now, has no malicious intent!"

Dukao whirled around, his eyes sharp as knives:

"No malice? Rose, you're too naive! In the face of the absolute unknown, personal feelings are the most unreliable weapon!"

We bear the responsibility for the safety of the entire planet and the entire Chinese nation! We cannot afford any complacency!

"It's the same old routine again!" Rose's emotions also flared, and her voice rose eight octaves.

"For the sake of the greater good, is it acceptable to disregard everything, even deliberately create conflict? Your so-called 'for China' means using suspicion and surveillance to force a potential key ally to turn against you?"

"This isn't suspicion, it's necessary caution! It's a responsibility!" Dukao's tone was resolute.

"You're still young, you don't understand that some prices we can't afford to pay!"

"I don't understand? I don't understand your 'war mentality' of 'better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free'!"

Rose's chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

"Since you insist on this, then go and carry out your 'surveillance mission' yourself!"

After saying that, she stopped looking at Dukao, turned around resolutely, and strode out of the command room. The alloy door slammed shut behind her with a dull thud.

The command room was deathly silent, save for Dukao's heavy breathing.

A-Jie looked at the heavily closed door, then at Dukao, whose face was ashen and whose chest was still heaving slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he still gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

He carefully chose his words and cautiously began to offer words of comfort:

"General, Rose... is still young and straightforward. She just wants to handle the problem in a gentler way, and her starting point is for the good of the academy and Earth."

Dukao did not respond immediately, but took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions.

After a long pause, he slowly waved his hand, his voice carrying a hint of undisguised weariness, yet unusually firm:

"No need for further explanation. Just carry out the orders, A-Jie."
