"No——!!"
The moment March 7th stepped out, five burly men immediately rushed over from all directions!
They slid to their knees in unison and slammed their heads hard against the ground with a bang!
"Miss March… the situation on the Xianzhou is so tense right now. Please help us!"
"Damn." March 7th looked down and disdainfully regarded the five burly men kneeling before her.
"Go find someone else! I'm just the Earth Tiger Hero. For something this troublesome, even Dan Heng would be more reliable than me!"
"But… but only you, Miss March, came alone!"
"…"
Because March 7th hesitated for that split second, the door of the Geoharmony Division behind her was opened again.
Dahao and Qingxuan quickly came out and tried to stop her together:
"Miss March, don't worry!" Dahao solemnly promised.
"Our mission this time doesn't require high combat strength. You just need to go undercover!"
Qingxuan also quickly nodded:
"That's right, young lady. We need you to infiltrate the enemy's ranks."
"Infiltrate?" March 7th raised an eyebrow, feeling like this wasn't anything good.
"Isn't that even more dangerous?"
"Miss March, infiltration isn't fighting. As long as you act natural, it'll be fine."
"Natural? How natural?"
"Just… be more relaxed."
"Relaxed?"
"This time we need you to play the role of a medicine-seeker. Generally, people like that have somewhat abnormal mental states."
"Abnormal mental state?"
March 7th crossed her arms. A certain person's face gradually appeared in her mind.
"That's right!" Dahao said excitedly.
"Miss March, that move you just made—jumping straight up from your seat—is exactly what we need!"
"?"
At these words, March 7th was completely stunned.
What did he mean?
Was he saying she looked like a psychopath?
March 7th slowly turned around and said sharply to Dahao:
"Friend, please organize your words properly!"
Seeing March 7th like this, Dahao fearfully took a step back and hurriedly stammered an explanation:
"I mean, you're very suitable."
"I'm not suitable!"
"Miss March, there really is no one more suitable than you." Qingxuan beside her also persuaded.
"You only just arrived on the Xianzhou. The other side knows very little about you. You're the perfect candidate for this operation!"
March 7th crossed her arms and said loudly:
"For psychopaths, I have a much better candidate!"
…
A few minutes later.
Zeig sat on a chair inside the Geoharmony Division, staring blankly at the group of officials.
March 7th had also pulled over a chair and was sitting with the Geoharmony Division people.
They had surrounded Zeig as if they were looking at a rare animal.
"What are you doing?" Zeig narrowed his eyes.
"March 7th, why did you call me here?!"
March 7th extended a slender hand, interrupted Zeig, and coaxed:
"Zeig, didn't you love taking side jobs the most? We just happen to need a psychopath here…"
"I'm not sick!" Zeig roared and leaped up, flipping over to the front of the Geoharmony Division doors.
Then he walked straight out, not forgetting to close the doors behind him.
"Bang——!!"
This sound shook the heavens and the earth!
It left everyone in the Geoharmony Division stunned.
"…"
March 7th sat on the chair, exchanging looks with the group of officials.
"See? I told you he was a good candidate." March 7th said proudly.
"Miss March, his behavior just now was no different from yours earlier."
"Bullshit!"
"…"
…
After a long silence, Dahao could only sigh:
"Sigh. Does this mean our operation has to stop here?"
Everyone present lowered their heads.
They had thought they found a savior, but in the end it was still a mistake.
Seeing how dejected these people were, March 7th couldn't help but ask:
"You keep mentioning medicine. What kind of medicine is it exactly? Aphrodisiac?"
"Aphrodisiac my ass… it's the longevity medicine!"
One Geoharmony Division official said in frustration:
"There are always outsiders who come to the Xianzhou seeking longevity, asking for this kind of thing. But where in the world is there perfect immortality?!"
"?"
"Longevity medicine?!"
Suddenly, above the spot where Zeig had originally been sitting, a portal appeared.
Zeig also fell out of it and sat back down in that same spot.
"Are you serious? There really is something like that on the Xianzhou?!"
Dahao should have been happy to see Zeig return.
But seeing that he was actually interested in longevity, he sighed earnestly:
"Mr. Zeig, pursuing longevity leads to no good end. You should have heard about the Xianzhou's relationship with the merciful Pharmacist, right?"
"Mm, I know."
Zeig sat on the chair and crossed his legs:
"But for someone who was supposed to die in a hundred years to suddenly live another nine hundred years, and the only price is turning into a monster… I think that's a pretty good deal for oneself."
"No no no—you thinking like that is very dangerous!" Dahao quickly said.
"Mara-struck is a terrifying thing. Once you live past your original lifespan limit, both your body and mind will suffer unbearable pain! Living those extra centuries with that kind of pain, and eventually turning into the Mara-struck soldiers you've seen!"
Zeig narrowed his eyes:
"So what's the difference between that and zombies or the undead…? Why don't we research mechanical ascension instead?"
March 7th commented:
"There is a difference. Before Mara-struck fully erupts, they look better than zombies or the undead. After erupting, they still look decent."
"No no no no no." Dahao quickly stopped the two psychopaths from continuing.
"Both of you, it seems your mental states are truly very suitable for this operation."
"Wait."
Zeig raised his right hand and said confidently:
"Why would I do something this boring? Isn't it just because there's a terrorist organization inside? Is the Xianzhou still worried about something this minor right now?"
Hearing Zeig's words, Dahao's expression turned ugly again:
"That's true, but internal threats are always more important than external ones. Besides, the external threats right now… aren't they all within controllable range?"
He recalled:
"The army brought by your Express, along with the original Cloud Knights on the Xianzhou, have already suppressed the disaster caused by the Stellaron to a relatively safe level."
"Didn't you see that Ambrosial Arbor?" March 7th added.
"We saw it. The General will just bring people to chop it down later."
"…"
Qingxuan also added:
"Mr. Zeig, we recently received intelligence. Taking advantage of the current chaotic situation, it seems someone in the Exalting Sanctum area is inciting outsiders. Maybe you can start from there?"
"Actually, a few months ago I sent an investigator to probe, and we got some leads."
"But the other side seems to have grown suspicious… the undercover agent lost contact. I'm worried he was discovered…"
March 7th spoke up:
"If he was in danger, wouldn't he call the Cloud Knights?"
Qingxuan's expression was grave:
"…He is a Cloud Knight."
