Chapter 600: Nothing Is Hidden

Bai Wei struggled to stand up, unable to experience the transformation into a cat in the Animal Transformation Art due to the high level of mystery being blocked.

It’s too mysterious.

Can’t change.

He was forced to reveal his identity, with traces of shattered light illusions on his body.

The faceless man caught a glimpse of the person standing up from the courtyard and looked him up and down.

"Who are you?"

He didn’t remember having this person in his team, how did he get in?

"Me?" Bai Wei pondered for a moment and introduced himself, "I am Pumpkin."

"A pumpkin doesn’t look like you, and you have a mosaic on your face."

"Well, you see, I’m not really a pumpkin either. I’m a spy," Bai Wei shrugged, his expression and actions innocent and naive, as if he were hiding in the trunk of a car.

"You too?" The faceless man pointed at the disrespectful merchant, "Then you… made a mistake, right?"

"Not at all, he’s just so useless, couldn’t turn me into a cat." Bai Wei spat out, "Pah, waste, trash."

The faceless man looked serious and asked. Who are you? I’ve never heard of a third person before.

"I said I’m a spy." Bai Wei snapped his fingers, dispelling the illusion and revealing his true appearance. "But I’m not on your side."

This spy is from Europe.

In a previous life.

The faceless man let go of the almost lifeless Jin Yi Wei and his gaze became increasingly fervent.

"Ha!" The faceless man let out a deep laughter from the depths of his throat.

"Your name is Bai Wei!" he said, pronouncing the other person’s name.

This person’s identity had long been written on his desk. The Hongze lineage’s Black Dragon had named this person, regardless of life or death!

Originally, they had found someone to handle this Bai Wei, but there had been no response. They never expected him to show up at their doorstep.

It was such a coincidence that his mother happened to open the door at the same time, it couldn’t have been more coincidental.

Could today be my lucky day?

If he didn’t doubt the existence of gods, he would feel like shouting "Amitabha" or "Hallelujah" right now.

The faceless man couldn’t control the twitching of his facial muscles, the corners of his lips could lift at any moment, and his suppressed expression resembled the art of expression he had learned from the abyss of gambling.

Look, look! Look at this basketful of perfect playing cards.

With these, losing the identity of Cang Jinglei meant nothing; he could even climb to a higher position and gain more resources.

"Do you know me?" Bai Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, you are very valuable. Perhaps there is no one in this Jinling City who is worth more than you. Maybe you don’t know, but the Black Dragon has put out a high bounty for you." The faceless man laughed. Alive or dead!

Bai Wei sighed. It’s the Hongze family again, it seems that you are also involved in this matter, but it seems like I’m not the main character, just an extra?

"A big fish on the side." The faceless man didn’t hide his expression and laughed with a bent waist, "I never thought, haha, you would come to me on your own."

The faceless man wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, tears of happiness, joy, and success.

He thought about a lot, thought about years of endurance and suffering, thought about finally being able to break free from the sea of misery.

I really want to thank TV, and also thank the hard work of the nineteenth department for nurturing.

"Big fish, but… the carp king could also turn into a raging carp dragon." Bai Wei squinted. Are you really that confident?

"I do have some confidence in myself." The faceless man straightened his back and said. I don’t have many strengths, but I have a little confidence in my own abilities.

"Didn’t you see him like that?" Bai Wei pointed at the vendor trying to return to the mother’s womb.

"He’s just a brush with a few tricks, I make him use his hands and feet, and he can’t even defend himself." The faceless man said scornfully, "In terms of strength level, he’s only a two-star rarity."

"Then what about you?"

"I have at least four stars," said the faceless man proudly, "Otherwise, how could I have been the leader of the Jin Yi Wei group for so many years? And I have also won several excellent medals in a row."

"…You’re quite hardworking, huh?" Bai Wei said in a strange way, "Why are you helping Jin Yi Wei fight against your own people?"

The faceless man waved his hand. You don’t understand. These sacrifices are necessary.

"Becoming your experience points is necessary?"

"Trash with one star, two stars, three stars. Feed me this rare four-star garbage to gain some experience, why not?" said the faceless man with exaggerated speech.

The mobile game players couldn’t completely agree, leaving Bai Wei momentarily speechless.

The faceless man sighed. Since it’s a matter of life and death, I think the people coming to transport goods will arrive soon. How about we stop fighting and I treat you to a meal, as a farewell gesture?

"You call this a farewell gesture?"

"We can have the meal earlier, don’t worry about the details," the faceless man was in a good mood. Let’s have some good food and set off… Of course, if you insist on seeking death, I also agree. But it’s better to cling to life than to die easily.

Bai Wei covered his face, unsure how to describe it. This person was just too confident, to the point of standing out in the picture.

Even when I was emperor before, I didn’t act this "X". Looks like you can only find the authentic flavor in the Ming Country.

"Well, it’s not impossible," Bai Wei relaxed his tone.

"Hey, that’s right. Later, I’ll happily send you on your way," the faceless man laughed heartily.

He actually brought out tables and chairs, and even brought out some wine and fresh braised dishes.

Bai Wei stared at the braised meat inside, feeling a bit worried.

"Don’t worry, this meat was bought in the city. Animal Transformation Art also eats human meat, but I don’t eat human meat." The faceless person picked up a piece and put it in their mouth. "It tastes pretty good, and it’s still hot. Eat it while it’s hot. And… this is Maotai liquor. I always thought I might have to work in Cang Jinglei’s identity until retirement. When I plan to retire, I will drink this bottle of liquor, as a way of celebrating many years in advance."

He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Bai Wei, saying, "This is a rare treasure, I’ve been keeping it for nearly ten years."

Bai Wei was not afraid of toxins. The more mysterious they were and the further they were from humanity, he was not afraid of any toxins, not even the ones from golden bloodline or heroic spirit bloodline.

It’s difficult to get the powerful heroic spirit drunk. Sometimes, if you want to get drunk yourself, you have to drink a poisonous drink that can damage the soul. But, just by taking a nap, they can recover. It shows that they are really unusual.

Bai Wei didn’t drink much in his previous life. There were only a few times when he wanted to get drunk to forget his worries. He would use strange things like Scarlet Curse, the blood of an evil god, and ancient god murmurs as ingredients to make his drink. Otherwise, he couldn’t get drunk at all.

Maotai liquor is indeed a very expensive thing, with a super national standard. It is made using mysterious ingredients, and ordinary people can’t get it. This thing also has different grades. The highest grade of Maotai liquor has limited production and is monopolized. It is only supplied to the heroic spirits of the Ming Country. Feitian Maotai is just the second grade, and the highest grade is called Da Ming wine.

Similar things exist in the Allied Nations and Yingzhou… When the Allied Nations overthrew the empire, there was a drink named ‘Kiss of Victory’. After countless generations of development, it has become a rare offering, only provided to governors, heroic spirits, and a few legendary mages. As for Yingzhou, there is a tree called the Phoenix Tree, and the Amaterasu Sake is brewed using the sunlight collected from the Phoenix Tree. It has always been a special product for the shogunate and the imperial family, and the brewing process is done by Ise Shrine.

Bai Wei has also done similar things, like the Golden Tree Tea and Golden Tree Wine, but the ones he drank were created by himself. Nobody can imitate them, and they disappeared from history.

He moved his chopsticks and took a sip of Feitian Maotai, slightly raising his eyebrows. This flavor is indeed good.

The situation at the scene became a bit strange. Bai Wei and the faceless man started to toast and drink with each other. If the vendor woke up and saw this scene, he would probably put his head back and think he had traveled to another timeline. He needed to find a way to go back inside.

"Did we finish our conversation just now?" Bai Wei asked. When drinking, it’s an opportunity to chat and talk, and also a chance for casual inquiry.

"What are you referring to? The battle between good and evil?" The faceless man can drink without getting drunk. After a few sips, he is in a great mood.

"I’m not interested in the battle between good and evil."

"So what you want to ask is about the Black Dragon? I don’t know why Hongze has targeted you either." The faceless man ate a piece of pig’s face meat and waved his wine glass. "This is a trade, a trade between the Black Dragon and the Bitter Boat."

"What is the Bitter Boat?"

"The Bitter Boat is one of the organizations for practitioners of dark magic, and it is also a place of containment and management." The faceless man felt he had everything under control and naturally spoke without reservation. "I am also a member of it. If you want to break free, you have to jump out of here and accumulate enough merit for it."

"I thought dark magic had really disappeared in the Ming Country." Bai Wei sighed, then asked again, "You capture so many people and turn them into livestock, not even sparing the Jin Yi Wei. Where do you plan to sell them?"

"The Jin Yi Wei is a high-quality commodity, of course they can’t be spared. As for where to sell them…" The faceless man pointed at Bai Wei. "The same place as you."

Bai Wei’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked. What does the Black Dragon want with these people?

"Why do you buy cows and sheep?" The faceless man used his chopsticks to point at the pig’s face meat on the table. "Of course, there is only one use."

"Dragons don’t eat people." Bai Wei had never heard of dragons eating people.

"Maybe not dragons." The faceless man grinned and said. There are plenty of monsters and creatures in the water. How can we investigate without entering the water? On the shore, maybe people have the final say, but once in the water, it’s not the same. In history, there has never been a situation where the dragon clan was dominated by the Ming Country… Look at these dragon lords in the rivers, lakes, and seas. Which one of them doesn’t rule their territories and control the waters? It’s completely normal for them to have private armies and recruit soldiers.

"Is this your reason for working with the dragon clan?"

"Of course, everyone needs a powerful ally."

"But I still don’t understand, what do they really want? Are they not satisfied with the water and want to invade the land?"

Bai Wei raised an eyebrow, thinking that this was impossible. It had already been proven in history. To invade the land and establish an empire, the basic requirement is a population.

That’s why the ancient dragons of Europa were so powerful, a dominant race, yet they still experienced decline because their reproduction was too slow.

The Eastern dragons also had the same shortcomings, their reproduction was too slow. A long lifespan meant a long period of growth.

The Four Seas Group has enjoyed population growth for hundreds of years, all thanks to the aquatic creatures. Without the water, they would lose this advantage.

"Of course, it’s also for their own interests. Invading the land is not absolutely necessary for them." The faceless man chuckled. But cooperating with us also has no disadvantages, only benefits… They actually hope for the chaos of the Ming Country.

"After all, Hongze is an abnormal lake on the ground. Its existence itself is abnormal too. The diversion of the Yellow River into the sea caused its appearance, causing the status of the Huai River water system to decline and become a tributary of the Yangtze River."

"In the northern part of Huizhou, there is a major flood every few years. Essentially, it is because the water level of Hongze is too high, and the flowing water can only accumulate in the relatively lower Huibei area, forming a flood discharge zone, which is both a natural disaster and a man-made calamity."

"For hundreds of years, countless people in the Ming Country have wanted to govern it."

"But this is not a question of whether or not there is the ability to govern. After hundreds of years, it has long become a festering sore."

"Everyone knows that once the governance of Hongze is successful, Huaishui will no longer need Hongze to flow into the Yangtze River. Not only will there be thousands of acres of good farmland, but there will also be fewer water disasters."

"However, if the Ming Country is allowed to govern Hongze, this water system will disappear out of thin air. The Black Dragon will never allow this."

"Therefore, we must prepare our soldiers and horses."

"The purpose is to make the Ming Country cautious and apprehensive."

"If you want to determine to thoroughly govern Hongze Lake, and want to destroy the foundation washed by Hongze’s water, you have to weigh and consider the weight of the hundreds of thousands of aquatic creatures in the lake and the three Black Dragons… So of course they have to cooperate with our magic way. The enemy’s enemy is our friend. If the Ming Country seeks stability, then make it unstable. Only then can balance and longevity be guaranteed."
