Chapter 1573: Chapter 300: Angel Envoy Walker: Taiyin Shadow Ops

Teacher Prin said he hadn’t been to the Butterfly Society for several days, so after the morning classes ended, he went straight to hide in the Butterfly Society.

His reason was that it was quiet enough here, very suitable for him—more importantly, he discovered that inside the Butterfly Society, he didn’t even need to wear gloves.

Once his white gloves were taken off, he could touch everything inside the Butterfly Society.

The tables and chairs he touched wouldn’t decay, the flowers he touched certainly wouldn’t wither… here, the Power of Death in his hands seemed to be sealed off, which made Teacher Prin so excited he practically touched every single item in the Butterfly Society.

Oh, and the tea brewed by class president Luo Qiu was really good.

“You’ve been away for a few days. Did anything special happen?” Luo Qiu asked Teacher Prin, casually, as if they were familiar acquaintances from long ago.

“Nothing at school.” Teacher Prin blinked. “There shouldn’t be anything outside school either… I don’t know what counts as special, from your point of view.”

“You’re already very special, Teacher.” Boss Luo smiled.

Teacher Prin shook his head. “You basically know everything about me already. Strictly speaking, in your eyes I shouldn’t be special anymore.”

Boss Luo blinked. “Teacher still hasn’t told me how you got your ability… The first time we met, didn’t you say you were abandoned at the church door?”

Teacher Prin thought for a while before slowly saying, “This ability seems to have been innate. As I grew up, the ability steadily strengthened. But in the end, why I have this ability, I’m actually not very clear myself.”

“Generally speaking, if it’s not some sudden mutation, then it might come from bloodline inheritance.” Boss Luo casually asked, “Teacher, you’ve never been curious about your parents… why they abandoned you?”

“Of course I’m curious.” Teacher Prin rolled his eyes. “But I have no way to investigate. No one saw who actually put me in front of the church back then. After I grew up, I traveled around and did run into a few guys with divination abilities, but every time I asked someone to divine for me, I ended up divining them to death… After trying a few more times, I just gave up.”

He even tried a few more times… Emmmm, exactly how many times, and how many died?

Seeing how casually he spoke, Boss Luo didn’t pursue the topic. For Teacher Prin, someone who grasped the Power of Death, perhaps the life and death of a person wasn’t as important to him as it would be to an ordinary person—Boss Luo could practically already imagine how Teacher Prin viewed the deaths of those diviners who read his fate.

—It was their destinies. Since destiny arranged that they needed to meet death, then even without my arrival, they would still die.

“…That really is a pity.” Boss Luo nodded. “Afternoon tea, are we having it here?”

“No need.” Teacher Prin shook his head. “I don’t have class this afternoon, and there are some things—I’ll be leaving campus in a bit.”

So Boss Luo didn’t try to keep him, only walked Teacher Prin out through the Butterfly Society’s doors… The Butterfly Society was located in the old school building, where people rarely came.

Just then, a figure holding a cardboard box full of personal items in both hands was passing by below the old building, and looked up.

Boss Luo opened the window and looked down with a smile.

It was Claudia… It seemed she had packed up her things here and was getting ready to leave.

She was briefly stunned when she saw the window above suddenly open. Then, seeing that new male classmate in her class, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly surged up in her heart, but she couldn’t say why. She only gave a simple nod, then left.

Only when her figure finally disappeared into the shade of the trees did Boss Luo smile faintly and return to the Butterfly Society.

There was an old notebook on the table… This was something Professor Xie Jiatu had left behind after he went missing. The last thing he wrote in this notebook was his research on The Trinity.

[Past], [Present], [Future]… The Trinity. At first, Luo Qiu had thought that what Professor Xie Jiatu wrote was very close to a certain truth—but now, it seemed unrelated.

The Trinity that Professor Xie Jiatu researched, judging from what happened in the City of the Sun, probably referred to the power of the Balance.

The person himself, the good side split off by the Balance, and the ugly side split off by the Balance… which also just so happen to form a trinity.

Although his understanding was somewhat biased, the fact that Professor Xie Jiatu, as a mortal, spent Six Hundred Years and finally created Amino was already quite remarkable.

But this wasn’t what Luo Qiu wanted… Boss Luo shook his head and casually put the notebook into a drawer.

Even though Professor Xie Jiatu’s understanding of The Trinity wasn’t really the thing, this trip to the desert’s City of the Sun had not been without gain—at the very least, he had acquired the Scales of Good and Evil.

During the process, Boss Luo had only wanted to witness whether a soul split by the Balance’s power had anything special about it… The Balance he ended up obtaining could be considered an unexpected surprise.

One of the Eternal Empire’s Seven Sacred Artifacts, a component of the Eternity Wheel.

Boss Luo’s first thought was to use the Altar to acquire more information, but that money-grubbing Altar’s asking price was too high, so Boss Luo planned to slowly dig it up himself—in spite of all that had happened, he still seemed to be the same Luo Qiu who only went to the supermarket when there were discounts.

Everything seemed not to have changed much… After tidying up the things in the Butterfly Society a bit, Boss Luo left.

At first, Luo Qiu felt that campus life seemed pretty good.

But now he suddenly felt that this “pretty good” life probably came from having the Maid by his side.

You Ye still hadn’t returned, and today he suddenly found everything tasteless.

“Master… are you there?”

As he stepped outside, a voice with a hint of ingratiation sounded in Luo Qiu’s heart—it was Tai Yinzi’s voice!

“What is it.”

“Master, I think I remembered something else!”

In the next instant, Boss Luo first closed the Butterfly Society’s door, then hung up the “close” sign. After that, he appeared on Main God Mountain.

At this moment, Tai Yinzi, with his mouth wide open, was being attended by several pretty ladies as he ate a piece of authentic old Changsha stinky tofu… his mouth was shiny with oil, the “fragrance” overflowing.

By the way, among the servant girls here, one of them looked especially like… Qin Chuyu.

“Master! Let me explain! You have to let me explain… I-I’m not slacking off!”

So it wasn’t to explain why there’s a maid who looks like Qin Chuyu at all… Luo Qiu couldn’t help shaking his head.

Back then, what was the reason, exactly, that made him turn this guy into a Black soul envoy… Luo Qiu couldn’t help falling into thought.

…

“Master, sit!” At this moment, Tai Yinzi snatched the chair that had just been carried over from a servant’s hands, then trotted over to Luo Qiu’s side, “Master, what kind of tea would you like?”

“No need.” Luo Qiu waved his hand casually. After glancing around Main God Mountain, he said blandly, “Tell me, what did you remember this time.”

Only to see Tai Yinzi dramatically shoo away the servants and maids around him, then take out a folded sheet of rice paper from his robe… He first licked his fingers, then carefully unfolded the paper. “I was afraid I’d forget, so I wrote it down right away. Master, please have a look!”

Four characters were written on the paper: Eternal Wheel.

“Eternal Wheel?” Luo Qiu frowned slightly in surprise—he had just returned from the City of the Sun; the Balance he obtained was a component of the [Eternal Wheel]… and here Tai Yinzi had just remembered the [Eternal Wheel]. This was one hell of a subtle coincidence.

“That’s right! It’s the Eternal Wheel!” Tai Yinzi had an utterly serious expression at this moment. “This old Daoist has been racking his brains day and night these days, all so I could quickly recall something useful for you, Master! Finally, thanks to your great blessings, Master, Heaven does not disappoint the diligent, even the gods are moved to pity…”

“What else.” Boss Luo had no choice but to cut him off and ask, “About the [Eternal Wheel]?”

Tai Yinzi blinked and said, “Nothing else, I just remembered the [Eternal Wheel].”

Boss Luo blinked, said not a single word, and simply stood up and walked off.

Tai Yinzi immediately collapsed to the floor in tears and snot, clinging to him. “Master, it’s not that this old Daoist doesn’t want to remember, I really can’t help it… Recently, for some reason, this old Daoist keeps feeling my mind is all over the place, it’s hard to focus on… Master, you should know, these things are like going to the toilet. When it wants to come, it’ll naturally come; if it doesn’t, no matter how long you squat, you can’t squat anything out… This old Daoist, this old Daoist has already tried his best!”

So… back then, what was the reason, exactly, that made him turn this guy into a Black soul envoy?

Boss Luo lightly tapped his forehead. “All right, say it. What do you want.”

“I want a vacation!” Tai Yinzi raised his head with a pitiful look.

Boss Luo said expressionlessly, “The Black Soul’s vacations have to be exchanged with merits. You should be clear on that.”

But Tai Yinzi hurriedly said, “Master, you misunderstand, this old Daoist isn’t asking for that kind of vacation! What I want is the kind where I get to go back to the mortal world… Ms. You Ye is killing me here—where in the world is there a job that old where you can only get 1 minute of break time! This old Daoist… this old Daoist has dignity too!”

For some reason, a familiar feeling suddenly surfaced before his eyes… the figure of a certain Red Lamp Spirit flashed across Boss Luo’s mind.

“You want a chance to go out?” Boss Luo stopped and lowered his head to look at him.

Tai Yinzi suddenly shivered, but for the chance to leave, he still gritted his teeth and nodded.

“All right then.” Boss Luo pondered for a moment, then suddenly nodded. “Fine. From now on, you’ll temporarily switch with Da Zhe.”

Tai Yinzi was overjoyed on the spot, never imagining that happiness would come so suddenly. He hurriedly kowtowed again and again. “Thank you for your great kindness, Master!”

But Boss Luo waved his hand. “I’m letting you go out, but not to have fun. I have another task for you.”

Tai Yinzi opened his mouth, then lowered his head, biting his finger as he calculated in his heart… In the end, his boredom from being cooped up in Main God Mountain and his desire to go out still won over his unease. So he respectfully said, “To be able to do something for Master is this old Daoist’s honor! Master, you don’t know, this old Daoist has been thinking day and night of ways to help ease your burdens. Now that the chance is finally here, this old Daoist… this old Daoist is truly moved to tears!! I don’t know what kind of task Master wants to entrust to this old Daoist?”

Boss Luo said calmly, “Make a run to the dimensional rift, find a way to slip into the Transcender Organization, and help me find out about the movements of the [Throne] inside the Transcender Organization.”

Tai Yinzi blinked and blurted out, “Tran… Transcen what?”

“Transcender Organization.”

“Tran… transcend what-ers again?”

“Transcenders. Organization.”

“What kind of -scenders again?”

“Going, or not.”

“…Going…”

Only then did Boss Luo nod, and continued, “I’ve already notified Da Zhe with my Will. He’ll be coming in a bit to hand things over to you… As for how to slip into the Transcender Organization, you can consult Da Zhe. He’s more experienced—also, if you at any point recall more things about the [Eternal Wheel], you can end this operation early.”

Tai Yinzi just sat there on the floor, eyes blank… Boss Luo had already left.

Not long after, Da Zhe entered Main God Mountain and saw Tai Yinzi still sitting on the floor, tears streaming down his face. Curious, he went up and asked, “Old bro, what’s wrong with you? What happened?”

Tai Yinzi lifted his head, dead inside; his beard trembled a few times with the twitching of his lips. “I… I’m moved.”

Da Zhe nodded, then said, “Master told me to come here and take your shift. He also said you might have something to ask me… What is it?”

Tai Yinzi took a deep breath. After thinking for quite a while, he finally waved his hand… The immortal-looking Daoist robes vanished, replaced with a checkered shirt and close-fitting jeans; he also put on an afro wig. “Da Zhe, my dear little bro, look at your old bro like this—do I have the potential to be a Double-Crosser?”

Da Zhe thought it over for a long time, then said with a very serious face, “Old bro, straight talk? Looking like this, you really are way too much like a Double-Crosser. Believe me, you’re definitely the most outstanding Double-Crosser in the whole village.”

“Really?” Tai Yinzi’s mood seemed to improve a lot. “With that from you, I feel a lot more at ease… So, uh, Da Zhe, I heard you’re pretty familiar with the Transcender Organization? Could you give your old bro a little intro?”

Master… could it be he plans to have Tai Yinzi slip in as a Double-Crosser?

In that instant, for some reason, Da Zhe actually didn’t feel worried for Tai Yinzi… Instead, he was worried for those Transcenders inside the Transcender Organization.

It seemed… as if Tai Yinzi had a very special talent—no matter what, he could always manage to turn someone’s perfect hand into a pile of trash.
