I have something to say. Although I've already finalized the outline, the characters' roles and screen time haven't been determined yet. So, I'll make appropriate adjustments based on readers' preferences.
So... if you like a particular character, please leave lots of comments or like the character in the book's introduction page.
This way, I'll know who everyone likes, and then I can consider increasing or decreasing their screen time.
Finally, let's give a shout-out to the newly created Tang Feifei and Liu Fuping characters! Feel free to like them if you enjoy them.
The next chapter will also be around 19 PM.
Chapter 159 Cataclysmic Ability: Mitosis (10,000 words, please subscribe!)
Upon hearing the man in the suit's words, Qiu Tu's heart stirred slightly.
'Blessing?'
'Looks like we might actually see something amazing this time...?'
With that in mind, Qiu Tu continued his "experience"...
Hearing the man in the suit calling from upstairs, Qiu Tu responded, "Coming!"
After saying that, Qiu Tu casually patted the woman next to him a couple more times before getting up and walking up the stairs.
Reaching the corner of the stairs, Qiu Tu turned around and glanced at the naked women still kneeling on the ground. He whistled and then went upstairs with a swagger.
His mannerisms are becoming more and more like those of a man in a suit.
Upon arriving upstairs, Qiu Tu was greeted by a modernly decorated study.
In the center of the study stands a large solid wood desk with a smooth, mirror-like surface. The paper, pens, and lamp that were originally there have all been piled up in the corner, replaced by 12 white candles and 1 red candle.
Beneath those 13 candles was a red six-pointed star drawn with blood.
The 12 white candles were pinned to the 12 nodes of the six-pointed star, while the red candle was placed in the very center of the six-pointed star!
Qiu Tu silently memorized the pattern on the table and then continued to experience Wang Xi's memory.
At this moment, upon seeing "Qiu Tu" enter, the masked man in the suit also looked over, his eyes bloodshot and filled with evil.
"Seventh Brother, you don't actually have the talent to become a 'Divine Messenger,' but... who told you to be so lucky in this life to meet our 'God'?"
"To 'God,' all living beings are equal, without distinction of rank or status."
"Even the most ordinary person, as long as they sincerely believe in her, can still be granted 'divine power' and become a divine messenger."
"Moreover, compared to those 'blasphemers' who drink 'incomplete potions' and steal 'divine power,' we, who rely on the power bestowed by 'God,' are much safer, with absolutely no risk of failure."
So... open your mind and accept the power that "God" has given you!
Upon hearing the man in the suit's words, Qiu Tu knelt down with a thud, then prostrated himself on the ground, crying out, "Please, God, grant me strength!"
With a shout of "Qiu Tu!", the man in the suit let out a few maniacal laughs. Then he opened a bag, grabbed a handful of unidentified white powder, and hurled it onto the six-pointed star magic circle!
The next second, 13 clusters of flames suddenly shot up, turning from red flames into deep purple flames!
As the flames rose, the study was bathed in a deep purple light, filled with smoke, as if the real world had been detached from reality!
And Larilu's figure slowly emerged in this illusory world!
Her scarlet eyes glared evilly at "Qiu Tu," creating a stark contrast to her pure, angelic face.
Then she stretched out her slender hand and pointed it at "Qiu Tu".
The next second, Qiu Tu felt the whole world spinning around him, and in a daze, he seemed to be in a brilliant galaxy.
Before he could even properly appreciate the beautiful scenery, the countless starry rivers began to elongate and deform in a strange way, turning into thin, long tentacles that burrowed into every cell of "Qiu Tu"!
Qiu Tu felt as if his entire body was being torn apart, experiencing excruciating pain! However, his mental clarity prevented him from falling into a coma!
And just when this pain was about to reach its peak!
Suddenly, the scene before Qiu Tu's eyes changed abruptly! When he came to his senses, he found himself out of that "world of memory" and back in reality!
"call!"
Qiu Tu took a deep breath and then checked his body; he was unharmed.
But... the scene he just remembered felt so real that he thought it had actually happened to him.
At that moment, Qiu Tu truly realized the terrifying nature of the "loyalty game".
Don't underestimate this tiny "fragment of memory"—it's a real "memory"!
Not only are the visual, auditory, and tactile sensations completely reproduced, but even the sense of sensation can be fully reproduced.
It can be said that Qiu Tu can experience everything that his brain/soul remembers!
And more importantly...
It's even possible for this kind of memory to record one's thoughts and ideas...
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but take out a piece of paper and pen and scribbled a few lines on it.
Soon, Wang Xi's catastrophic pathways and abilities appeared on the paper....
"Catastrophe Pathway: Life - Reproduction"
"Cataclysmic Capability: Mitosis"
"Ability Effect: Cataclysms possessing this ability will have the ability to reproduce asexually. They can also split themselves into two identical individuals by expending a certain amount of their power."
"This ability can be applied not only to the entire living being, but also to the various organs of the living being's body, and can improve physical fitness or replace organs in a short period of time."
Looking at the records of Wang Xi's cataclysmic pathways and abilities on the paper, Qiu Tu stroked his chin and thought... although this ability looks a bit disgusting, it seems to be very practical.
Not only can severed limbs regenerate, but an extra body can also be left to save one's life?
Is this the cataclysmic power bestowed by "God"?
For some reason, Qiu Tu suddenly understood why some people would worship evil gods, and why the shelter only allowed those who had suffered catastrophes to serve as middle and high-ranking officials in various cities.
Let alone most people, even Qiu Tu... If he fails to awaken his catastrophic powers for a long time, and one day an evil god approaches him, telling him that as long as he believes in the evil god, he can gain 100% superhuman power, he probably wouldn't be able to resist the temptation...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu folded the paper in his hand and put it away.
Qiu Tu gained a lot from the [Memory Fragments (Part 2)]. He not only witnessed the strange ritual and learned that Wang Xi was a cataclysmic being, but also discovered more victims.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu took out his communicator and called Cao Dabiao, asking him to retrieve a file of the family members of the officials who had been involved in the incident a few days ago.
Because he had just "personally" met those women, he could probably identify them with photos, which would allow him to identify the victims without alerting most people.
After doing all this, Qiu Tu recalled the other details from that memory fragment.
Soon, two new details caught his attention.
First, it seems the man in the suit always wore a mask in front of Wong Hei.
But they're clearly accomplices, so why is the man in the suit wearing a mask in front of Wong Hei? What is he hiding?
Secondly, the man in the suit called Wang Xi "Seventh Brother"?
If Qiu Tu remembered correctly, he remembered that Wang Xi once called the man in the suit "boss".
The eldest brother and the seventh brother? So... there are five other people in this gang?
But why have I never seen it before?
Qiu Tu felt increasingly confused as he thought about it...
Combined with La Riluo's decades-long scheme, her abandonment of Old Master Qin after arriving in this world, and her claim that Jia Shu was her follower.
Qiu Tu had a feeling that this young female demon was playing a very long game...
.....
Liu Fuping called Tang Feifei at 11 o'clock.
Tang Feifei arrived at the temporary villa at 11:20.
Her decisive and efficient manner revealed just how much she hated Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping...
Even so, she did not abandon her professionalism.
To keep it a secret, she drove to a nearby shopping mall and parked, then walked to Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping's villa, and jumped in through the kitchen window...
So, while Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping were still analyzing the case, they saw Tang Feifei, dressed in sportswear, her eyes sharp as swords and bright as stars, silently appear in the villa...
Sensing the imposing aura, Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping exchanged a glance, then awkwardly raised their hands in greeting, "Director Tang, what brings you in through the window?"
Tang Feifei's eyes were like knives, fixed on Qiu Tu with the gaze of a female leopard locking onto its prey before hunting. She sneered, "Otherwise... I'm afraid Section Chief Qiu... no, Director Qiu will run away!"
"I've been trying to meet you for two days, and I still haven't seen you, you busy person."
Seeing Tang Feifei's accusing expression, Qiu Tu smiled again.
He first sent Liu Fuping to make tea, while he himself took the initiative to greet her and said kind words, "Sister Tang is joking. I would never avoid you."
He explained, "I was just promoted these past two days and immediately took on a case. I'm just too busy to find the time."
At this point, Qiu Tu pointed to the dark circles under his eyes from working so hard with Liu Fuping until the early hours of the morning last night and said, "Look, I barely slept last night."
Tang Feifei narrowed her eyes and looked suspiciously at Qiu Tu's dark circles. "Is this from staying up all night?"
Qiu Tu nodded seriously, "Of course!"
Tang Feifei didn't believe it, but she was too lazy to argue with it.
She wasn't a petty woman; she would let it go after a couple of sarcastic remarks.
So she plopped down on the sofa, wearing an expression that said she had already given up, and asked coldly, "So, what brings you here this time?"
To be honest, she already has a heroic look, and even when she sits on the sofa, she keeps her back straight, so when she has a cold expression, she looks even more dashing and heroic.
As Qiu Tu admired her healthy body, he said, "What kind of talk is that! Just because I'm looking for Sister Tang doesn't mean something's wrong! Can't it just mean I miss Sister Tang?!"
Tang Feifei glanced at Qiu Tu sideways, clearly not believing him.
Sure enough, after making his righteous statement, Qiu Tu smiled and leaned closer, then said with a grin, "Actually, it's nothing..."
"It's just... my subordinates want to kill me, my boss wants to kill me, and my enemy, an evil god, also wants to kill me... that's all."
Tang Feifei tilted her head and frowned as she looked at Qiu Tu, her wheat-colored face full of question marks: ???

Three chapters, 3 words each, more tonight!
Chapter 160 (10,000 words, please subscribe!)
Seeing Tang Feifei's questioning expression, Qiu Tu quickly sat up straight on the sofa and gave her a "well-behaved" smile.
Then he continued shamelessly, "Sister Tang...actually...I didn't want to trouble you."
"But... the most capable and powerful person I know is you."
"If I run into trouble, who else can I ask for help if not you?"
"And the trouble I've gotten myself into this time is indeed quite big. If there's anyone in the New Territories who can solve my problem, it can only be you."
"You wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"
Seeing Qiu Tu's fawning manner, Tang Feifei almost laughed out of anger.
I've been helping him with things these past two days, and I even spoke highly of him during the meeting, so I was thinking of meeting him tonight to have a good chat. But I haven't been able to get an appointment with him for two days.
Now that something's happened, they realize they can't cover it up anymore, and they immediately come running to me like peas in a pod!
Do you think you can win yourself over by smiling at yourself and saying a few nice words?
Do I look that easy to fool?!
Um.....
She seems somewhat easy to coax.
After all, it felt pretty good to make Qiu Tu, who had always been so arrogant in front of him, bow down...
Thinking this, Tang Feifei suppressed the slight upturn of her lips, then gave a soft snort and commented, "Glib-tongued."
But after saying that, she immediately added, "Alright, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me, who did you mess with this time? Why do they want to kill you? What's their strength...?"
Qiu Tu keenly noticed the smile on Tang Feifei's lips and secretly chuckled to himself: Done!
