11: He should have his own plans!

“This…”

“Is this the monster mentioned in the diary?”

The Grand Elder was no longer composed, his voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the large screen in front of him.

The moment the Monkey Monster’s corpse appeared on the large screen, the entire room erupted in commotion; everyone stared at the image on the screen in disbelief, discussing animatedly.

“This… does such a supernatural thing really exist in this world?”

“Its size is much larger than an elephant! Was the surrounding environment destroyed by it?”

“It has a large hole in its chest; was it done by the person the Grand Elder mentioned?”

Suddenly, everyone lost their composure.

Initially, the Grand Elder had gathered all the Elders, as well as many scientific researchers specializing in biological studies.

When these researchers first heard the Grand Elder’s guard recount the story of the Monkey Monster, they had all speculated whether it was a mutation caused by radiation or something similar.

But now, seeing the actual subject in the video, all the researchers were dumbfounded.

They all widened their eyes, looking at the large screen as if questioning reality.

Because they saw that even though the monster on the large screen was dead, its corpse still exuded a powerful sense of oppression!

Coupled with the destroyed environment—large trees that would take two people to embrace were uprooted, and hard rocks were pulverized—one could imagine how powerful this monster truly was.

And now, this monster was dead here, with such a large hole in its chest, and the wound was charred!

This… this…

At this moment, all the researchers began to question reality.

Just then, the Grand Elder regained his composure and quickly asked, “Did you not see anyone else at the scene?”

“There was no one else!”

At this moment, the man in the black suit at the forest scene replied, “By the time we arrived, it was already like this; we didn’t see the target person at all.”

“Hmm…”

Hearing this, the Grand Elder pondered for a moment.

Then he said, “Alright, I understand. Bring that Monkey Monster back.”

With that, the Grand Elder hung up the phone.

The Elders and researchers nearby naturally overheard the Grand Elder’s conversation with the man in the black suit.

One of the Elders said, “It seems the person the Grand Elder mentioned doesn’t want to interact with the authorities…”

However, before he could finish speaking, the Grand Elder waved his hand, interrupting him.

The Grand Elder shook his head and said indifferently, “That’s not necessarily true…”

The Grand Elder didn’t think it would be as this Elder said.

After all, in the diary, this person named Li Mu, in his previous life, fought against the otherworld for a full hundred years for Xia Country and for all humanity!

Moreover, the information revealed in the diary indicated that this person named Li Mu had a very good impression of Xia Country’s official high-ranking officials.

And a hundred years of day-today interactions, fighting together against the invasion of the otherworld.

With these experiences, it was unlikely that the kind of thing the Elder mentioned—not wanting to interact with the authorities—would happen.

“Perhaps… he still has some things to deal with, and now is not the time to meet!”

Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, everyone thought for a moment, and finally, all the other Elders nodded.

The Grand Elder had told them about the diary, and although they couldn’t see the diary’s existence, they could roughly understand by putting themselves in his shoes, based on the diary’s content as narrated by the Grand Elder.

Perhaps, precisely because the complete Spiritual Qi revival had not yet occurred, even if they met, he might think the authorities wouldn’t believe him.

Watching the Elders speak in riddles, saying things they couldn’t understand, the remaining researchers all looked at each other.

Confusion was evident in their eyes…

Subsequently, an Elder arranged for the researchers to leave, telling them to wait for the Monkey Monster’s corpse to arrive so they could take over.

The office instantly had fewer people, making it seem much emptier.

The Grand Elder thought for a moment, then said, “First, arrange for someone to find out where Ke Ming’s concert is today.”

He remembered very clearly the content updated in the diary today.

Although this method wouldn’t allow him to find Li Mu’s exact location, it would at least tell him which City Li Mu was in.

This way, it would be much easier to find him in the future…

However, no sooner had the Grand Elder finished speaking than the Second Elder beside him couldn’t help but ask, “But…”

“Through this incident, it’s clear Li Mu has his own plans. If we send people now…”

Before he could finish, the Grand Elder interrupted with a smile, “Don’t worry.”

“He’s not a criminal, so there’s no need to send people to watch him.”

“But we must try to make contact. After all, the future is too important…”

Hearing this explanation, all the Elders fell silent at once.

… … … …

Meanwhile, in another part of the Capital City.

Xing Mulan had also finished reading the diary. Her eyes were sparkling, as if she was planning something.

“Ke Ming’s concert?”

Xing Mulan didn’t pay much attention to the other contents of the diary. Although she was initially shocked to see the Monkey Monster appear in the forest reserve outside Tianfu City and the Great Sage sealed in Huaguo Mountain, relatively speaking, she was more concerned about Li Mu’s location.

She then took out her phone and quickly searched for the location of Ke Ming’s concert, getting results very quickly.

“Heng City?!”

Upon seeing the City where the concert was located, Xing Mulan’s mind immediately became active.

Without another word, she immediately bought a plane ticket to Heng City, then picked up her suitcase and began to pack her change of clothes.

Anyway, she was just a streamer; it was the same no matter which City she streamed from.

In Heng City, if she was lucky enough to find Li Mu, then…

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became!

Dragging her already packed suitcase, she rushed towards the airport.

… … … …

Meanwhile, in the forest reserve outside Tianfu City.

Ji Jiangxue and Jin Meiting had just arrived at the outer village, checked their equipment, and were preparing to enter the mountains.

But just then, they suddenly heard a violent whirring sound of a helicopter rotor above their heads.

Both instinctively looked up at the sky.

They immediately saw an armed helicopter flying overhead.

As they were still in a daze, wondering why an armed helicopter was here, they heard the roar of a truck again.

They looked, and a military truck drove by on the road outside the village.

“This…”

Jin Meiting looked at this scene with some surprise, then her gaze turned to Ji Jiangxue beside her.

Ji Jiangxue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, “I’m afraid that monster in the forest is on that military truck!”

Jin Meiting: “???”

Jin Meiting was stunned when she heard this.

Ji Jiangxue seemed to notice her confusion and explained, “Since you and I both have this diary copy, perhaps there’s a third person, a fourth person, who also has it!”

“However, as soon as the diary wrote about what happened here, the military immediately intervened. It’s estimated that at least one person on the official side has this diary copy.”

“Someone who can mobilize the military must have a high position!”

“Should we still go into the mountains?” Jin Meiting asked instinctively.

Ji Jiangxue, however, shook her head: “Let’s go back. There’s no point in going into the mountains anymore.”
