Let them offer their loyalty!

The first thing is to contact Qin Shuman immediately after leaving home today, and let the Security Department take over Larilo.

The second is… not to rush to inform the Security Department of Larilo's whereabouts, but to try to brainwash Larilo, to make her believe in him again.

Thus achieving the goal of "possessing" her.

After that, whether it's about extracting more benefits from her, such as the method to control the Boundless Heart Sea region;

Or using her as a high-quality bargaining chip to exchange for a promotion opportunity;

Qiu Tu could make a choice at will…

The sound of "whoosh whoosh" water filled the Shuigu Room, with dense water vapor spreading and gradually obscuring Qiu Tu's figure…

…

Meanwhile, in the bedroom,

Larilo's consciousness was also following her plan, beginning to implant the Evil God's Mark into some insects.

While planting the marks, she let out a wickedly charming laugh, 'I originally thought Qiu Tu was all show and no substance, a pretty face with no real skills. But it turns out he's quite impressive haha.'

'In just one hour, the humidity in the bedroom seems to have gone up a notch.'

'Tsk tsk.'

'It was not in vain that I…'

Grieving about this, and possibly stirred by the memory of her recent "meal," Larilo paused and her face turned green.

Huffing, she quickened the pace of planting the Evil God's Marks, and then ferociously muttered in her mind,

'Once I regain my power... you will all die!'

…

After showering, Qiu Tu went to check on Fang Tangtang and Larilo in the bedroom.

Fang Tangtang was still asleep, and as for Larilo... she was still nowhere to be seen.

Qiu Tu didn't care. He ate breakfast as usual, then left the house and took the car to the Investigation Bureau.

After arriving at the Investigation Bureau's parking lot, Qiu Tu didn't rush upstairs.

He let the driver go back to the Investigation Bureau, and he himself began patiently waiting.

He waited for more than ten minutes, estimated the time, and figured it was after the Security Department's next "shrinking of the perimeter."

Qiu Tu picked up his specially made Communicator and called Qin Shuman.

The call connected, and Qin Shuman's irritable voice came through the speaker, "What do you mean by there appear to be multiple targets?"

"What do you mean Larilo is everywhere in Xinjie City now?"

"Are the Cataclysmic treasures broken, or is it your brains that are broken!?"

"Check the treasures immediately, and report back to me as soon as you have news!"

Hearing Qin Shuman's irritable voice, Qiu Tu gently reminded her, "Shuman, you're getting flustered."

Qiu Tu's words were like a bucket of cold water on Qin Shuman, making her instantly calm down.

She took a deep breath, apologized to Qiu Tu, and asked him to wait. Then, she apologized to her subordinates and calmly redistributed tasks to handle the emergency.

After everything was arranged, Qin Shuman picked up the Communicator, her voice tired, and said to Qiu Tu, "Ah... I've been up for several nights. I'm not in great shape."

"I encountered an emergency suddenly and lost my temper. Sorry for making you see that."

Qiu Tu was never stingy with his affection when a woman needed care, so he reassured her gently, "It's understandable."

"After all, you were the one who proposed the 'Evil God Capture Plan.' The pressure must be huge."

Hearing Qiu Tu's comforting words, Qin Shuman felt much better.

She managed a smile on the other end of the call and then said, "Right, did you call me because you have some news?"

Adding jokingly, "I hope it's good news you're about to tell me, not bad news."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu, sitting in the car, laughed.

He said, "It actually is good news."

Qin Shuman asked curiously, "Good news?"

Qiu Tu hummed affirmatively and then said, "You can now submit an application to the Sanctuary to allocate experts, technicians, and third- and fourth-order catastrophe-evolver masters."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman was stunned.

She reflexively said, "But Larilo hasn't been found yet."

She continued, "Qiu Tu, you might not be aware of the current situation. This morning we narrowed down Larilo's active area to a range of about 6 square kilometers."

"Just as we were about to shrink it to 3 square kilometers, the 'Homologous Compass' seemed to have broken. It has started detecting multiple homologous targets."

"Some of these homologous targets are inside the current perimeter, and some are outside."

"The farthest trace is even more than ten kilometers away."

"This is basically telling us that all the efforts we've made so far have been in vain!"

"So, now we can only hope that the 'Homologous Compass' isn't broken."

"Otherwise... our whole plan might be a failure."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu chuckled again and repeated, "What I mean is, you can already apply to the Sanctuary to carry out your plan."

If Qiu Tu had misspoken just once, it could be an accident. But having repeated it twice, Qin Shuman instantly realized the implication.

Images of Qiu Tu repeatedly turning the tide and making comebacks came to her mind, and she was momentarily stunned.

After a short while, she ventured, "Qiu Tu... have you found Larilo?"

Qiu Tu did not directly answer Qin Shuman's question but said, "Shuman, can I trust you?"

Qin Shuman was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "I can only say, I will not betray you."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu then said, "I have indeed found Larilo."

"But... because it was me who found Larilo, I want to make some changes to your plan."
