Chapter 159 Thank You for Existing
A complete unknown had silently infiltrated his social circle, not even revealing a single flaw during a face-to-face conversation.
Just thinking about it made the hair on the back of Li Chengxi's neck stand on end.
His poor sleep last night was also related to this.
Section Nine was taking this matter very seriously.
As long as the nation took action, there shouldn't be any problems.
"I don't quite understand, why disguise herself as Gan Xiaoyan?"
"Perhaps it was to get close to Lei Lei. She's quite famous in the Lei Family of Jingzhou. As for the finer details, we'll have to wait for the announcement from the Head Office after the person is caught."
After all, this person had secretly tampered with Gan Xiaoyan's and Lei Lei's phones.
Gan Xiaoyan was just an intern at Section Nine.
In comparison, the possibility of targeting Lei Lei was much higher.
In short, this matter had nothing to do with you, Li Chengxi.
You don't need to be alarmed anymore.
"Oh, right, I wanted to ask you, how do we solve Viola's communication problem?"
"You're talking about the Comprehend Languages Necklace, right?"
"Yes, the one you were holding when Audel was here. You have to apply for one for us too."
"There's no need. Can't you understand her?"
"I was also surprised that I could understand her, but other people can't."
"Usually, a local like you who has a connection with a transmigrator can instinctively understand their language. As I've said before, in this situation, there's a special bond between you. The conversation is actually more akin to telepathy; you're not understanding through sound but directly grasping the meaning of the words."
This did explain why only Li Chengxi could understand Viola's words.
It was just that this two-person mind-meld setup reminded Li Chengxi of Pacific Rim...
"Then get us a necklace anyway."
"It's not needed."
Qian Sen said:
"The Comprehend Languages Necklace is quite expensive, and it's rather troublesome to make. With my authority, I can only file a report to apply for one. Miss Viola said she would only be staying for a few days. By the time I file the report and the application is approved, she'll have already gone back. What's the use?"
That was indeed true.
If Viola planned to stay long-term, Qian Sen would have filed a report without Li Chengxi even having to ask.
But for just a few days, it wasn't worth the trouble.
"Besides, don't we still have you? You can be the translator for these few days, that's more than enough."
"You guys at Section Nine really know how to order people around..."
"Of course. Otherwise, why would we open a forum for you all to trade freely? It's precisely because there are times when we need you."
He actually shamelessly admitted it!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Qian Sen's call was mainly to put Li Chengxi's mind at ease.
This was considered part of maintaining peace and stability within his jurisdiction.
After all, if you looked at what Qian Sen said, besides telling him not to worry, he hadn't revealed any details.
But for Li Chengxi, this was already enough.
He had no intention of getting involved at all.
Hanging up the phone, Li Chengxi stretched lazily and prepared to eat breakfast.
The moment he turned around, he saw Viola, who had already finished washing up, staring at him.
She had approached him at some unknown point.
Viola and Audel's behavior since coming to Li Chengxi's place was completely different.
For the first few days, Audel was exceptionally curious about the things in the supermarket, insisting on figuring out the use of every single item.
For the latter two days, she became engrossed in tokusatsu TV series, and would occasionally watch the news on TV to better understand Earth's situation.
But Viola had only one purpose: to stare at Li Chengxi.
From the very first day she arrived, Viola was always by Li Chengxi's side.
She wasn't interested in anything else, whether she had seen it before or not.
Her gaze always followed Li Chengxi.
To be honest, this made Li Chengxi feel uncomfortable all over.
"Um... what do you want to eat for breakfast?"
This time, Viola didn't answer with instant noodles.
Instead, she said:
"Lord, before I return, I have a request."
He had wanted Viola to call him Big Brother Li Chengxi like Audel did, but Viola always forgot.
Anyway, since no one else could understand, it didn't really matter.
"You want to go back?"
"Yes, I have troubled you for several days."
Viola said very seriously:
"The Divine Realm is truly an incredible place. Life is convenient and prosperous. I even had the thought of not wanting to leave. But a life that is too convenient and prosperous will erode one's will. If I were just an ordinary follower, I would be very satisfied. But I know I still have a mission to bear. I will definitely expel the invaders, and I will definitely restore the glory of my Lord."
He usually saw Viola say such things on the computer screen, but there was a huge difference between text and a face-to-face conversation.
Li Chengxi could see Viola's will and earnestness.
But precisely because of this, Li Chengxi felt a little embarrassed:
"If you have any problems, just call me through prayer. I'll help when I see it."
"Thank you very much. Your Lordship's benevolence is the greatest encouragement to me."
"After all, it's for my dearest follower. So, what was the request you mentioned earlier?"
"Lord, could you please stay still like this for a moment?"
Without waiting for Li Chengxi's reply, Viola threw her arms around Li Chengxi's chest and rested her head on it.
Li Chengxi quickly raised his hands, showing that he wasn't taking advantage of her.
He was constantly complaining in his heart, what was wrong with these sisters? Audel had hugged him once, and now Viola was doing it too?
"Lord, it's truly wonderful that you exist."
"Uh... should I say thank you?"
"No, I am the one who should say thank you. You should exist, and you must exist."
For Viola, the Demon God was her spiritual pillar and the driving force that kept her from giving up.
But a being like a god was too ethereal and illusory.
Followers could only confirm a god's existence through miracles and divine oracles.
Even the very few who could see a god's true form mostly saw an incarnation, not the true god's true form.
It was like looking through a layer of gauze, unclear and not real.
But when Viola heard about everything in the Divine Realm from Audel, and then personally came to the Divine Realm and met Li Chengxi, the Demon God seemed to have become corporeal in her heart.
He was the Demon God, the monarch she worshipped, the savior who had rescued her several times, not as simple as a Divine Domain or a miracle.
He had joys and sorrows, he had his own life.
This made Viola feel that Li Chengxi was very close to her, that no matter where she was, he was watching over her.
For a follower, there was nothing more joyous than this.
Li Chengxi, on the other hand, couldn't quite understand Viola's thoughts, but if she wanted a hug, it was fine.
He wouldn't lose a piece of flesh over it.
"I've said it before, you can actually relax a bit. If you want to come again in the future, just let me know. I don't mind having another person in the house or anything."
Li Chengxi wasn't lying.
Having lived alone for so long, the feeling of having another person in the house wasn't bad at all.
He felt that even his food tasted much better than usual.
"Yes, I will definitely come again. I will treat it as a reward for myself."
Viola closed her eyes slightly and nuzzled against Li Chengxi's chest like a cat:
"Lord, please let me stay like this a little longer."
"Alright, you continue."
Actually, Li Chengxi kind of wanted to go to the bathroom, but saying it now seemed like it would ruin the mood...
The eight-chapter week is over.
