Chapter 0008: The White Whale Has Arrived
My name is White Whale, and I dress this way to avoid making you feel constrained and nervous. We can discuss this matter in a casual manner. White Whale's smile is infectious, making one feel as if they are basking in the spring breeze
I have noted it down. So, are you staying in the cabin today because you received his orders
What you mean is that I must make the majority of people believe, especially... agree with what I say
During weekdays, Captain Li Si has significant disagreements with him on certain tasks, which often results in our team being assigned to undertake tasks with higher levels of danger
Team Leader Bai, your two turning points make me feel that you are a good person. Good people are rewarded, and good people have their blessings. Thank you for your reminder, and even more so, thank you for coming here to see me in a personal capacity before making a formal inquiry
After verifying the spirit tablet, Liu Hao pushed the order letter and the spirit tablet in front of the white whale. "I hope it can be of assistance to both you and me"
The white whale perceived Feng Hao's actions and felt satisfied with his attitude. If he had not done so, the subsequent conversation would likely have been diluted with insincerity.
Your efficiency is truly impressive, arriving so quickly. Since I will have to undergo questioning sooner or later, I accept the method you proposed. Liu Hao pulled up a chair and sat beside him, choosing not to sit across from him.
I would like to know the truth about the train incident and your objective evaluation of Gong Yong said the white whale, slightly turning to look at Liu Hao
Who are you? Have we met before? Please wait a moment, let me rinse my mouth first
You are very intelligent. Ultimately, the decision is made by the section chief, not by me; I am only responsible for documenting the process
No problem, this is necessary. The white whale took out the spirit tablet from its waist and placed it on the table.
This is what you said, not what I told you. You may interpret your words through speculation and inference, but you must never express them in a definitive tone. Emotions may be present, but you must never allow others to feel that you have the suspicion of defamation
This person has an unremarkable appearance, belonging to the type that one would not easily find in a crowd. However, the subtle yet discernible aura he exudes makes him unforgettable
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate; gold will always shine. Our conversation ends here. Please report to the court on time at 9:00 AM tomorrow, and I will conduct individual interviews with each of you at that time"
"Alright, see you tomorrow," Liu Hao replied succinctly. The words of the white whale served not only as a wake-up call for himself but also as a harbinger of good fortune.
Liu Hao took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, "It is true that evil spirits have appeared on the railway line. Except for me, all the other members have heroically sacrificed themselves. As the only survivor, I also know the true reason behind the emergence of evil spirits on the railway line.
"I can give it to you, but could you first let me verify your credentials?" Liu Hao replied candidly
The guest's actions made Liu Hao feel both amused and perplexed. Ever since becoming involved in the train incident, it seems that an increasing number of strange occurrences and peculiar individuals have intersected with his life
In summary, at the moment when the commanding-level evil spirit was repelled, the train line was already safe, and there was no so-called disturbance from evil spirits
Perhaps I truly am favored by the heavens; just when I thought I was about to follow in their footsteps, a mysterious master suddenly appeared and saved me, defeating the leader-level evil spirit with just one move
How polite! The guest, being quite familiar, took the liberty of pulling out a chair and sitting down by himself
"Rest assured, I am an upright person and will not engage in favoritism or corruption." After the white whale carefully stored this information, it fell silent for a moment, then said: "According to the intelligence I have received, you and Fan Jian met on the train. What did you discuss? I do not concern myself with personal matters; I only wish to know about the train line."
"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from the youth; today, upon seeing, it is indeed so." The door swung wide open, and a visitor dressed in black trousers and a white casual shirt appeared strikingly before Liu Hao.
Who is it? Disturbing my peaceful dreams so early in the morning! Do you know this is impolite?" Liu Hao reluctantly got out of bed, moving slowly and lazily towards the wooden door
I am merely being polite; I do not wish for the outstanding members of the Spirit Guard to become victims of the competition for interests. The First Division will be reorganized soon, and I sincerely hope to see you as the captain of the restructured First Division.
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Hao immediately felt a chill run down his spine. The Spirit Suppression Court was truly formidable. Fortunately, he had not done anything against his conscience, nor had he spoken any insincere words. If he were to go against Tu Shuran, this issue could indeed put him in a passive position or even lead to being blacklisted.
You can see for yourself! Fortunately, Feng Hao did not throw away the order letter sent to him by Gong Yong; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain now.
At the South City Train Station, Captain Gong Yong conducted an interrogation of me. After the interrogation, I was instructed to remain on the train, making two round trips each day. I am not to cease this task until I receive his orders.
Can you answer my question now? Liu Hao asked from a superior position without sitting down
Just as I had dozed off for a moment, the door of the wooden house over there was knocked on
The door was half open, and the sound came in from outside. "You have quite the nerve! Aren't you afraid it might be an evil spirit knocking at the door?"
For the malevolent spirits, the attacks on us along the railway line serve as an assessment for their promotion to elite malevolent spirits. Along the railway line, there are not only the malevolent spirits undergoing assessment but also the commanding-level malevolent spirits acting as examiners.
They don't have the guts to do that," Liu Hao replied without a moment's hesitation
Thank you. However, the authority to appoint the captain is not in your hands; otherwise, I would certainly bow in gratitude for your recognition of my abilities
The head of the Fan family, fearing unnecessary misunderstandings, met with me privately on the train. He stated that the profit distribution principles for the railway line from Luyang City to Nancheng had been agreed upon by both parties before construction began, and the current practices are truly unacceptable to them. Nancheng will file a complaint, and if you come, I must report the situation truthfully.
He is the squad leader of the Luyang City team, and I am a member of a subordinate unit within the squad, with little interaction between us. Captain Li Si has more contact with him, and this task was assigned to our team by him.
The spirit tokens produced by the Zhenling Court possess unique marks and techniques that cannot be replicated by outsiders. Each person's spirit token is intrinsically linked to their own soul; should the individual pass away, the spirit token will automatically be destroyed
I can sense from your words that the section chief seems to have little trust in me! Even if what I say is the truth, it will be distorted into falsehood by him.
Having read the command letter, the white whale sincerely asked, "Can you hand it over to me?"
Alright, I have noted that. Now, let's talk about Gong Yong! What is your opinion of him? The white whale did not express an opinion, indicating for him to continue speaking.
I believe what you say. However, it is not enough for just me to believe; you must make more people believe as well
