Chapter 144

Negri got out of the car, turned around and knocked on the car window with a rhythmic knocking sound. He smiled and told the driver: "After the earthquake, the 7th domain's terrain is too dangerous, be careful on your way back"

The driver appeared a bit confused, then smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I've been driving for so many years, nothing will happen to me"

"That's good" Negri smiled as he watched the driver drive away. Although he didn't really care about spies, and some of them could even be used by him, he still needed to give them a bit of warning, didn't he?

Negri looked at the lively streets around him and headed straight for the 7th domain's library. Not only did this place collect a lot of books, it also collected a few local records. Not too long later, a car arrived outside the library.

A young man in uniform with short hair walked into the library, stood in front of Negri, and spoke in a low voice, abiding by the library's rules: "7th domain's D.E.R division's Disaster Squad Luo Ping, greetings, Mr. Wang. I hope you can forgive my abrupt visit, section chief Li has invited you"

"7th domain's D.E.R division?" Negri observed Luo Ping in front of him for a bit, a flash of understanding in his eyes, then followed him into the car.

"Is Mr. Wang here for a vacation?" Luo Ping sat next to him, his voice had never changed and was as steady as always, almost like a person who had seen through everything. He replied in a formal manner: "This is only a normal inquiry, please do not mind it, Mr. Wang"

"You can say that. Everyone who wants to improve can't just work behind closed doors. There's knowledge here that I'm interested in, so I came to take a look" Negri smiled: "At the very beginning, my ideal job back then was to be a librarian, even if I didn't want to read books at the time, I just wanted to enjoy the leisure of being a librarian"

"Is that so?" Luo Ping replied, as if he didn't mind Negri's words at all.

The car steadily arrived at the D.E.R division. Negri followed Luo Ping to the office of the 7th domain's section chief Li.

This section chief Li was an old man nearing his 60s who was close to retirement. Compared to Chang Xia, section chief Li was inferior both in terms of ability and character. He might have made some good contributions when he was younger, but he was a slippery person who maintained a good relationship with some of the higher-ups, which was why he was able to become the section chief of the D.E.R division.

As a regular Authority Holder of another domain, he had to report to the local D.E.R division before going to another domain, so there was no need for a section chief to show up. The reason why this section chief Li wanted to meet Negri was to establish a good relationship.

He was about to retire, his body was getting worse and worse, the D.E.R division had decreed that while he was still in office, he couldn't accept Negary's [Black Crow] germs, not even the slimming syringes.

But after retirement, there wouldn't be as many restrictions, so this section chief Li wanted to establish a good relationship with Negri. After all, although there wouldn't be any restrictions after retirement, the tea would cool when the person leaves, and it would be very difficult to obtain the [Black Crow] medicine that could prolong one's lifespan.

Thanks to section chief Li's efforts to befriend him, 'Negary' managed to obtain quite a bit of information. Of course, although this section chief Li was a bit of a philistine, he was still a very disciplined person. Whatever he could say, he spoke without hesitation. As for what he couldn't say, he didn't say a single word.

This kind of person might not be as capable as Chang Xia, and his character was also a bit of a philistine person, but he had a very comfortable way of dealing with people. He knew very well what he could and couldn't do.

"Then, farewell, mister Wang" Section chief Li sent Negri to the door with a warm and courteous smile on his face: "If there's any trouble in the 7th domain, you can come to the D.E.R division"

"Then I thank section chief Li for your kindness" Negri smiled and said. If one took a closer look, they would notice that Negri's expression was very similar to section chief Li's. This was Negri learning from section chief Li.

His previous style was too perfect. Although he had a lot of charisma, for some people, this made him seem too distant, so lowering his stance would instead help improve the relationship between them.

By constantly improving himself and discovering any factor that was beneficial to him, Negri would always make a decision, then study it to make himself stronger.

From section chief Li, Negri learned, or rather, strengthened himself, which was the ability to speak in human language when meeting people, and speak in ghost language when meeting people.

However, I have to admit, this section chief Li is truly a failure. Negri returned to his car and headed towards the library while thinking about the information he obtained from section chief Li.

There might be a problem with Luo Ping, or perhaps the entire 7th domain's D.E.R division as a whole " Negri came to this conclusion. The reason why Negri came to this conclusion was based on the information section chief Li had divulged, combined with the information Killer J obtained from Li Jing Yu.

Luo Ping was a native of Yue Bu, as well as an Authority Holder, which partially overlapped with the members of [Survivors]. Combined with how well [Survivors] hid themselves, the entire D.E.R division didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, which was a bit strange.

After that, Negri paid close attention to the ratio of people in the 7th domain's D.E.R division and found that compared to the overall 7th domain's population of foreigners and locals, the D.E.R division actually had more locals than locals.

Unless there are special circumstances, everything in the world will develop according to a certain pattern, and when there's a problem with the pattern, it means that there are other factors that are affecting everything.

As Negri recalled everything he saw in the D.E.R division, the movements, expressions, and habits of every single person, he was able to notice some minor problems.

Of course, this was only a guess, those locals might not necessarily be members of [Survivors], it could only be said that there was a high possibility.

"Hm?" Negri suddenly looked outside the window, only to see Killer J and a group of people marching in front of a scenic area.

The information Killer J gave him earlier was that he was being held in custody, so he didn't expect him to blend into the crowd so quickly.

Glancing at the banners of the parade, Negri roughly understood who the people were. They were the locals of Yue Bu, protesting against the unscrupulous developers who were using the aftermath of the previous earthquake as a scenic spot, which was equivalent to rubbing salt on the wounds of the survivors of the earthquake.

"This can only be considered an unexpected gain" Negri returned to the library and looked through Yue Bu's city plan from 16 years ago, comparing it to the current 7th domain's plan, even some old news from 16 years ago. Very quickly, Negri found a few suspicious points.
