124: Chapter 124 Reality Simulation: Died Again for No Reason?

"Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened. It's just that you're newly appointed and a member of the power center, so everyone wants to get to know you," Qin Lulu said with a smile.

She then asked, "By the way, is there anything you want to adjust regarding the management of extraordinary powers in the Ninth Safe Zone?"

Su Fan shook his head. "Sister, there's nothing to adjust. Let everything run as usual for now."

Qin Lulu nodded with a smile. "That's right. You still have the Emergency Committee above you, so don't act on your own initiative in everything. You must consult your superiors first..."

Afterward, she stared intently at Su Fan, her eyes filled with deep meaning. "...You must learn to lie low."

Su Fan understood what she meant. If you have ambition and want to achieve great things, you must first learn to keep a low profile; only when you reach that position can you reveal your true colors.

"By the way, brother-in-law, where is your family? I checked your file and was surprised to find no information about your family. There's no information about your parents on your household registration either. Where are your parents?"

Qin Lulu asked this.

Qin Xiaoxiao's expression also became serious.

She hadn't known Su-su for a short time, yet she had never asked this question. It seemed she had been quite negligent, never even caring about such matters...

Her sister, however, had dealt with all kinds of people since she was young. Before she was twenty, she was already a socialite in Nandu's high society. Looking at it now, her sister was indeed more thoughtful, and it was no wonder she could become the person in charge of the Qin and Xiao Families, as well as a member of the Emergency Committee.

"I've been an orphan since I was young. I grew up in an orphanage and lived on my own after becoming an adult."

Su Fan revealed his true situation completely.

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but hug him. "Su-su, from now on, I am your family. I will definitely take good care of you..."

Watching this scene, Qin Lulu stood up and said, "Alright, I won't disturb your marital bliss. I'll be going now."

Su Fan and Qin Xiaoxiao saw Qin Lulu off together.

After Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep beside him, Su Fan glanced at the simulator screen.

[Current number of simulations available: 2]

[Start simulation?]

Su Fan subconsciously clicked [Exit] to see what kind of prompt it would give.

The result was a prompt: [For this simulation, you can choose between a real-world simulation or a simulation of another world. Please make your choice, host.]

"Huh, I can actually simulate reality again this time?"

Su Fan thought to himself, should I try a reality simulation this time?

The last reality simulation saved his life, earned him the Lightning Sable, and resolved the major threat of Xiao Chen and the Black Flame Demon King—it was a fruitful harvest. He wondered what would happen in this reality simulation.

Could it be that it's predicting I might be in mortal danger again?

Thinking of this, Su Fan couldn't wait to enter the simulation...

[The next day, you follow Qin Lulu to the Emergency Committee for a meeting.]

[After the meeting, Elder Xiao Tianheng surprisingly invites you to sit with him, saying he wants to discuss some matters with you.]

[Suspecting nothing, you follow Elder Xiao to the Xiao Family's secret estate.]

[You chat cautiously with Elder Xiao and seem to pick up on the subtext in his words. He seems dissatisfied with the special commissioner sent by the sovereign and appears to want to rally some forces to sideline this commissioner.]

[Regarding this, you are very cautious; you do not rush to take a side, nor do you offend Elder Xiao.]

[After leaving Elder Xiao's place, you have just returned to the Justice Bureau when you receive a mysterious call. The mysterious caller informs you that they have discovered your secret and demands that you cooperate with their actions, or else they will expose your secret.]

[You are shocked. Could the secret of possessing the simulator have been discovered by some mysterious powerful being? That shouldn't be. Even a deity like Ai Lin hasn't discovered it; could someone on Earth have?]

[Thinking of this, you hang up the phone without hesitation.]

After a while, the mysterious phone calls again: "Director Su, if you don't cooperate with me, I will post the video of you shooting a pistol all over the internet!"

"Crazy!"

Su Fan cursed loudly. He thought it was something big!

It almost scared him to death.

It was just a training video of him practicing with a pistol at the shooting range. If he wants to post it, let him. It's not a big deal; why is this something to threaten with?

Who could this possibly threaten?

Thinking of this, he calls the head of the local communications company branch: "In the future, strengthen the blocking of scam calls. Don't let inexplicable calls constantly harass users. If you can't handle such a small matter, you might as well shut down your communications company!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Director Su! We will definitely comply!"

The head of the communications company replies cautiously.

Afterward, he receives another mysterious call.

"Hello... Director Su?"

"Hello your mother! Trying to scam me again?!"

He cursed a couple of times.

Su Fan intended to hang up directly.

Who knew, the voice on the other end said in a low tone, "I am Commissioner Jiang. Shall we set a time to meet?"

Hearing this, Su Fan's heart skipped a beat.

Judging by the voice, it really sounded like the appointed commissioner surnamed Jiang, sent by the sovereign, who held the highest power in the Ninth Safe Zone and whose cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He didn't expect Commissioner Jiang to actually want to meet him.

Su Fan dared not be slow and indicated he had time whenever.

"Alright then, tonight at eight, I will wait for you at the wastewater plant!"

...

[Arriving at eight in the evening.]

[You arrive on time and meet Commissioner Jiang at the wastewater plant on the edge of the Safe Zone.]

[Commissioner Jiang suddenly tells you shocking news: Xiao Tianheng has suffered Qi Deviation.]

[According to Commissioner Jiang's observation, Xiao Tianheng is cultivating an evil Cultivation Technique. This technique allows him to strengthen himself by devouring the Primordial Spirit of others. As long as he devours and refines enough Primordial Spirits, he can even quickly reach the Soul Transformation Stage.]

[But just a few days ago, because Xiao Tianheng devoured a Primordial Spirit that was too powerful, and his own Primordial Spirit was evenly matched with that one, he suffered a backlash during the devouring process.]

[The result is that his body is sometimes controlled by his original Primordial Spirit, and sometimes it is controlled by the Primordial Spirit that he failed to fully refine.]

[This is common Qi Deviation.]

[You are extremely surprised and ask him if something terrible will happen if Xiao Tianheng loses control one day.]

[Commissioner Jiang tells you that it would be a disaster for the entire Ninth Safe Zone!]

[You ask Commissioner Jiang what he intends to do and whether he should report it to the Ministry of State Security.]

[Commissioner Jiang shakes his head and tells you that the Ninth Safe Zone is under his jurisdiction. He does not want the sovereign to see him as derelict in his duty, so he wants to handle this matter privately.]

[To handle this matter means to eliminate Xiao Tianheng himself.]

[You are not quite sure whether what Commissioner Jiang says is true or false, and you suspect that perhaps the power struggle between Commissioner Jiang and Elder Xiao has reached a point of life-or-death conflict...]

[But just at this moment, a sharp shout suddenly erupts from behind you. You turn around, and a massive Black Flame Ribbon of the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm strikes down from above your head. You are shaken to death by the violent energy...]

[Simulation ends.]
