Chapter 355 Clean up the spy, Lin Jiujiu takes action - Socially Anxious Witch in the Apocalypse
"Su Miao, something's happened!" Xia Xiao An approached, phone in hand. "Someone exposed the coordinates of the Twelve Divisions' headquarters on the forum, threatening a nuclear attack to flatten it and prevent the opening of the Other World." Perched in the cherry tree, Myna immediately became alert, quickly taking out her phone to catch up on the news. Su Miao set aside her magic notebook, glanced at the post Xia Xiao An showed her, and then opened her own mobile app. [Abyss Organization Statement: Whoever stops the Twelve Divisions from opening the Other World, we will nuke them] Posted by: Wandering Demon Earth has plunged into apocalypse; the Moon has been destroyed, and less than a million survivors remain on Mars. Humanity stands on the brink of extinction. The Twelve Divisions are opening the Other World to find a new path for Earth's civilization. Though this action might bring Earth new crises, ask yourselves: what civilization or species would willingly come to Earth right now, to be drowned in floods, devoured by mutant beast hordes, insect plagues, or frozen to death in temperatures dropping to -231°C? To be swallowed by earthquakes, tsunamis, fissures, landslides, or volcanic eruptions that erupt suddenly? At this point, coming to Earth is a death wish. Thus, in opening the Other World, our true concern should be the safety of the natives there. For the continuation of human civilization, we cannot lose any opportunity. Additionally, by convention, the Dragon Nation publishes prophecies about apocalyptic natural disasters, but it has been over six months since the prophecy of the sun and moon out of sequence was announced, and there's been no new prophecy since. Our organization conducted a thorough investigation and found no continuation of that prophecy. Does this mean global hope is gone? The Abyss Organization does not know, but we wish to survive. Therefore, we solemnly declare here: whoever stops the Twelve Divisions from opening the Other World, we will nuke them. To demonstrate our organization's credibility, we will first eliminate a few hardliners for everyone to see, such as: John Bright of the Illuminati; Grant Vlin and Yaster Mike of the Supernatural Salvation Organization; Cha Yuan Jian of the Black Snake Group; Molinas Yaged of the Desert Pioneers...

Anyone who wishes to oppose, please stand out! ... 1st Comment, [Xin Miao Miao]: Wow, an organization opposing the Twelve Divisions makes such a statement, this is getting intense, meow. 2nd Comment, [Minotaur]: The Abyss, isn’t this a villain organization? I remember the Twelve Divisions publicly placing a bounty on them. 3rd Comment, [Wish Time Reverses]: So ruthless, even John Bright of the Illuminati was killed. 4th Comment, [Midnight Veil]: Seriously suspecting the Abyss Organization is adding fuel to the fire, or what. 5th Comment, [Serene Featherlight]: Makes so much sense, opening the Other World gives human civilization a greater chance of hope. 6th Comment, [Heart of Feathers]: @Her Highness Irena, what do you think? 7th Comment, [Lexington II]: So far, there haven't been any official statements from various countries; is this a tacit consent? 8th Comment, [Magma Boiled Bunny]: Honestly, the Twelve Divisions went through a lot to open the Other World; it can't be self-destructive, can it? 9th Comment, [Let the Sun Dye My Colors]: I'm fed up with Earth and want to go to the Other World. 10th Comment, [Grass 233]: Can we survive in the new world? 11th Comment, [Panda Tony]: A 13-magnitude earthquake just erupted 100 kilometers away, affecting and collapsing our base. 12th Comment, [tfgchfchb2]: Will the Twelve Divisions reveal the entrance to the Other World? 13th Comment, [Yogurt Hehe]: Please don’t nuke anymore, Earth can't take it. 14th Comment, [Poteto 1024]: Has Mars really only one million people left? I remember there being 3.1 billion before the apocalypse. 15th Comment, [Silver Fox Moon Spirit]: Forget Mars; before the apocalypse, Earth had over 20 billion, and claiming 200 million now is an exaggeration. ... Reading the post, Su Miao's expression turned peculiar. After the battle at the Mountain Elder's ruins, Si Shu had shared some intelligence with Su Miao, including information on the Abyss Organization. The intelligence indicated that members of the Abyss Organization had participated in the Desert Tomb operation, playing a significant role in prematurely awakening the Avatar of the Evil God. That wasn't even the main issue; more importantly, the Abyss Organization had used various means to turn several groups near the Desert Tomb against Su Miao, solely to delay her progress and prevent her from entering the tomb. One such manipulated faction was the Luo Family Base. This was the root cause that led Si Di of the Twelve Divisions to publicly declare the intent to kill Su Miao because Su Miao had destroyed the Luo Family Base. Subsequently, in a bid for revenge, Si Di's forces and the Abyss Organization waged multiple large-scale battles, with both sides suffering heavy losses. At the Mountain Elder's ruins, the Abyss Organization naturally participated too but was swiftly eliminated. Recalling these events, Su Miao's expression remained odd. However, from Su Miao’s perspective, regardless of other organizations' agreement or dissent, the Twelve Divisions would not alter their aim. As for the threat of a nuclear attack, she thought of Si Di and Si Li. With the strength of the Twelve Divisions' members, Su Miao strongly suspected that some could even withstand a nuclear strike. Or, should a nuclear bomb indeed be launched their way, the Twelve Divisions must have countermeasures to minimize damage and avoid severe losses. Besides, the intelligence capabilities of the Twelve Divisions were incredibly advanced; if any organization truly targeted them, the Twelve Divisions would retaliate with thunderous force. "Su Miao, should we go there?" Xia Xiao An was quite worried about Lin Jiu Jiu's safety. Su Miao shook her head. "No need, the Twelve Divisions are formidable. If we go, we might get caught in the crossfire." Xia Xiao An asked, "Is that so?" Su Miao nodded. "Take a look at this post." [Si Ye Arrives, Everyone in the Illuminati Missile Base Dead] Posted by: Wandering Mage Oh, my God! I never expected to encounter such an event. That day, I was delivering supplies to the Illuminati missile base as usual, and as the aircraft approached the base, I suddenly noticed the entire sky darkened, thinking it was the polar night descending. For safety reasons, I decided to make a 180-degree turn, speeding away from the missile base. Luck was on my side; the polar night did not pursue. After waiting for a while, I observed that the darkness over the missile base had dissipated. With the disordered state of the sun and moon, occurrences like this were frequent, so I didn't dwell much and continued flying toward the missile base. However, when I arrived, I discovered all the Illuminati members inside were dead. The entire base of 1,200 people, not one survivor. It was as if they had all passed away in their sleep, save for the base commander, Andrew Nora. Traces of a battle by a powerful ability user at the scene indicated that a strong ability user had invaded, and the formidable base commander, Andrew Nora, had his heart blasted from behind. Furthermore, all nuclear warheads and intercontinental missiles within the missile base were missing. Expert analysis concluded that this was undoubtedly the work of the Twelve Divisions' Si Ye, who are utterly deranged! Attachment: [Missile Base Video] ... 1st Comment, [Serene Featherlight]: How ruthless. 2nd Comment, [Euglena's Braided Hair]: Si Ye is terrifying. 3rd Comment, [Beneath is Suzhou and Hangzhou]: Once, everyone treated Si Ye as a joke... 4th Comment, [Xin Miao Miao]: Still a joke, meow. 5th Comment, [Si Ye]: Yes, I killed them. Who told you to actually plan on launching a nuclear warhead? These warheads are now ready; if you attempt to launch again, I'll use them to blow up your base. 6th Comment, [I Want to Do a Hundred Squats]: Please, no nuclear war, a global nuclear fallout would end us all. 7th Comment, [A Heart Demon]: Did the Illuminati really intend to launch nuclear warheads? 8th Comment, [Gold Brick]: There’s just this small population left on the globe; everyone, don’t go mad. 9th Comment, [We Workers Are Powerful]: Si Ye, so strong! ... The attached video displayed scenes of ordinary Illuminati members lying dead on the ground, as if they had simply drifted into eternal sleep like innocent infants. Yet, the post posed a puzzle. According to the various pieces of intelligence in the post, the headquarters of the Twelve Divisions were far from this Illuminati missile base; how did Si Ye arrive here in such a short time? Could it be that opening the Other World by the Twelve Divisions didn't involve gathering everyone in one place but required each person to be in different coordinates? Would they then activate something at a specific time and order, thus forming a grand array? Just like in the fantasy films? Su Miao recalled that within the Twelve Divisions, Si Chen Tu Gui Hai was indeed a cultivator. "Doesn't it make sense for cultivators to set up a massive array and have twelve powerful individuals activate it together? If that's the case, they probably aren't worried about their headquarters being nuked. This could also explain how Si Ye appeared nearby." "Su Miao, is the Twelve Divisions a villainous organization?" Xia Xiao An asked after watching the video, his expression puzzled. Su Miao explained, "You could view them as a chaotic evil organization. Their members are not subordinate to one another; they can cooperate or oppose each other, so you can't judge them by a single action." Xia Xiao An nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, when viewed from Su Miao's perspective, many issues seemed to resolve themselves. For instance, if the Illuminati openly declared a nuclear strike against Su Miao, she would certainly retaliate by obliterating all their bases and eliminating any hostile members, leaving none alive. In comparison, the Twelve Divisions only destroying one missile base as a warning seemed almost merciful. Seeing the post, Xia Xiao An was no longer worried about Lin Jiu Jiu's safety. Su Miao then said, "It's time for lunch. Let's have hotpot today." "Awesome!" Xia Xiao An exclaimed. Myna quickly flew down from the cherry tree, transforming into Su Luoli. Her big eyes blinked with excitement as she asked, "Your Highness, are we eating in the courtyard?" Su Miao nodded. "Yes, in the courtyard. You'll be in charge of the barbecue." Su Luoli beamed with joy. "Okay, Your Highness!" Eating in the courtyard was convenient for the barbecue. The aroma of the barbecue was truly irresistible! ... At the headquarters of the Twelve Divisions. All staff within the base had been gathered into a hall. Around 1,600 staff members were assembled, some looking calm while others appeared anxious, unsure of their superiors' intentions. This was the first time they had seen so many leaders of the Twelve Divisions gathered together: Si Ming, Si Tian, Si Shu, Si Zui, and Si Heng. If you looked closely, you could see that Si Ming, Si Shu, and Si Zui all held books in their hands, which appeared quite mysterious. Si Heng held an exquisitely crafted scale, while Si Tian, Lin Jiu Jiu, didn't hold anything but dressed as if she were about to perform on stage like a little idol. "The traitor among you, please stand up willingly." Si Zui, standing at the front with a black codex in hand, said sternly, "If you come forward now, I can guarantee that you won't die." The assembled staff began whispering among themselves, and some visibly tensed up. A betrayal! Someone had leaked information again. At this moment, they understood why so many leaders had gathered together. Hidden among them, spies were incredibly anxious, aware that once the precise time for opening the Other World was leaked, an investigation would follow. They just hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. To kill or resist? As seasoned spies, they knew better than anyone how terrifying the leaders of the Twelve Divisions were. Acting would only expose them and lead to even quicker deaths. Right now, their only hope was that the leaders couldn't pinpoint them, perhaps granting them a chance to live. After waiting for 30 seconds, no one stepped forward. Si Zui stepped back. Si Ming Pei Xiaomiao said, "Jiu Jiu, you can start now." Lin Jiu Jiu nodded, snapping her fingers, causing all of the 1,600 staff present to fall asleep on the ground. This was her first time actively using Si Tian's power after three months of learning and training at the Twelve Divisions headquarters. Within seconds, dream bubbles began to appear within Lin Jiu Jiu's field of vision. "They've started dreaming," Lin Jiu Jiu remarked. "Good." Si Shu opened her book, and six ability users emerged from it. "Go, find the traitorous spies." "Yes, Your Highness!" The six ability users closed their eyes, connecting with the 1,600 dream bubbles before quickly pinpointing the spies hidden among them. Each time a spy was identified, Lin Jiu Jiu would mark them, and these individuals would transform into books. Any issues? By merely opening a book, the organizations and schemes behind these spies could be revealed. Amazingly, among the 1,600 staff members, there were 21 spies from different factions, all guilty of leaking information. In addition to these 21, 10 more were preparing to leak information and were identified as well. With a blink of an eye, they turned into ten books. However, there were still some spies left unmarked at Pei Xiaomiao's gesture. These individuals hadn't leaked information and had no plans to do so, making them useful for further operations. In truth, Lin Jiu Jiu could read dreams herself. But doing so would consume a lot of energy. With helpers at her disposal, it was only logical to make use of them. Besides, with the opening of the Other World scheduled for tomorrow, both Pei Xiaomiao and Su Chen didn't want Lin Jiu Jiu to expend too much energy, just in case. "It's done." Si Shu closed her book, and the ability users vanished. The books in the hall floated toward them. Lin Jiu Jiu snapped her fingers again, waking the staff from their dreamlike slumber, leaving them bewildered as they looked around. To be honest, this was the first time since the apocalypse began that they'd slept so soundly, but seeing the books floating in front of Si Shu, they realized that some hidden spies had been turned into books moments ago. Pei Xiaomiao casually picked up a book, flipped it open, then tossed it aside, saying, "Check your phones; you have been assigned to groups and tasks. You have two hours to prepare before gathering to set off!" "Yes, ma'am!" they chorused. (End of Chapter)
