Chapter 461: Security Council Member
"Let's go, first to your house. There should be a lot of things to handle afterward. I hope there's still time."
Lin Ye glanced at the heart with the self-destruct function and turned it into a self-destructing Red Frog.
If that young man had been a bit more polite, he might have saved his life.
"Okay."
Xiao An quickened her pace. Her home was less than two blocks away.
Lin Ye sensed the surrounding environment while controlling the Red Frogs to deal with the cultists constantly approaching. The other side seemed intent on wearing Lin Ye down to death.
'I think making me laugh myself to death would be more reliable.'
Lin Ye could understand the other side's actions. They probably treated Lin Ye like a typical Alien Deity. Other Alien Deities would return to the mental world after consuming a certain amount of mental energy. After all, they came here to obtain more mental energy, not to make a loss-making deal.
Xiao An soon led Lin Ye to the building where she lived. It was a very high-end looking apartment building. The residential complex lacked liveliness, with most units vacant.
Since they didn't have an Access Card, Lin Ye could only use spiritual energy to pick the lock. Xiao An led the way, finally stopping outside room 714. Lin Ye used spiritual energy to open the door. Inside was a space severely lacking in signs of life, spanning a full 150 square meters.
"You live here alone?"
Lin Ye couldn't see any traces of other people living there at all.
"Mhm, my dad almost never comes over. I just wanted to come back to get some things... I know where he is."
Xiao An entered her room, packed a few old storybooks into a backpack, and then left the apartment with Lin Ye.
By this time, Bai Ming had already brought people to seal off the residential complex. He stood near the main gate, watching the young girl and the rat on her head approach.
"Greetings. On behalf of the Divine Principles Bureau, I invite you to become a member."
Bai Ming looked seriously at Lin Ye. He didn't want to fight this Alien Deity about whom there was almost no information, but this was an order from above, and he could only carry it out.
According to analysis by several experts, this Alien Deity should be a relatively reasonable deity... almost like a normal human.
This meant there was a possibility for the Divine Principles Bureau to control this Alien Deity.
"I already made myself very clear just now. Are you sure you want to block us? Please think carefully before answering me, because your answer will determine the fate of many people."
Lin Ye didn't like wasting time.
"...Please join the Divine Principles Bureau."
Listening to the command in his earpiece, Bai Ming could only give the same answer.
"Fine. You brought this on yourselves."
Lin Ye controlled Xiao An to walk towards the complex entrance. He originally intended to have friendly relations with this city's officials, but now it seemed impossible. These people were clearly connected to those cultists.
If the Divine Principles Bureau was an organization that only targeted young girls who became sacrificial offerings, then it had no reason to exist.
Xiao An, carrying Lin Ye on her head, smoothly left the residential complex. Bai Ming realized something was wrong. He took out his Communication Device to contact the squad lying in ambush near the complex, only to find everyone was out of contact.
"What did you do!"
Bai Ming stared at the departing Xiao An, loudly demanding an answer.
"I just asked you if I should kill them. You chose 'yes'."
Lin Ye didn't look back. He wouldn't show mercy to enemies.
Bai Ming drew his weapon but didn't step forward, because he didn't want to die here meaninglessly.
Xiao An drove away in Bai Ming's car. This was her first time driving. Fortunately, Lin Ye was on top, using the spiritual energy collision method to assist her.
Twenty minutes later, the battered car stopped outside a villa. This area was a high-end villa district. Ordinary people definitely didn't have the qualifications to live here.
Lin Ye didn't attack the Security Guards, just knocked them unconscious.
A short-haired, burly man stood outside the villa. He stared fixedly at Lin Ye on Xiao An's head, poised to strike.
"You also came here looking for death? Isn't living good? How much is your life worth?"
Lin Ye couldn't understand why these people were blocking his path.
"I owe Director An a favor."
The burly man didn't immediately attack. He clearly understood what kind of existence an Alien Deity was, and what price he would pay after taking action.
"Even though he's a scumbag who gave his daughter to cultists?"
Although the villa's materials were somewhat special, Lin Ye still scanned the interior. Xiao An's father wasn't inside. This was a trap.
"...I will protect his life today. Could you come find him tomorrow?"
The burly man suddenly felt dying for this kind of person wasn't worth it.
"No. But I can not enter the villa and go somewhere else to find him. He probably just told you to stay outside the villa to drain my mental energy, right?"
Lin Ye tugged Xiao An's hair, controlling her to leave the villa district.
The burly man didn't stop Xiao An from leaving. Director An had indeed only told him to guard outside the villa.
"Where to next?"
Xiao An asked.
"To find that young man and get what he promised me."
Lin Ye also didn't know where this Director An was hiding. After all, this wasn't his territory, but it didn't matter. His Red Frogs would help him find the other party.
As long as he cleared out all the cultists in the city, the other party couldn't escape.
Xiao An got in the car and continued driving with Lin Ye's assistance. This reminded her of when her mother took her to the park to play bumper cars as a child.
"You really aren't suited for driving."
Lin Ye didn't expect the other party's learning ability to be this poor.
Under Lin Ye's guidance, Xiao An soon parked the car outside a hotel. Lin Ye could sense the young man was in a guest room on the third floor.
Xiao An, carrying Lin Ye on her head, found the young man's room. Before they could knock, the young man opened the door.
"You've come. This is the information and cash you wanted. Is there anything else you need me to do?"
The young man invited Xiao An into the room. His family had some connections within the Divine Principles Bureau and had roughly understood Xiao An's situation.
"No, you've done very well."
Lin Ye scanned the printed information with his mental energy. This was exactly what he needed. With this information, he could more efficiently clean up this city full of cultists.
"Uh, don't you need Director An's location?"
The young man didn't expect Lin Ye to not follow the usual script.
"No need. His fate is already sealed... as long as I don't get dragged back."
Lin Ye also wasn't sure if he could solve all the problems before returning.
Xiao An took the bag containing the cash and left the hotel with Lin Ye on her head.
Lin Ye completely released his control over the Red Frogs. They would spontaneously clean up the cultists throughout the entire city and use the cultists' corpses to hatch more Red Frogs. As long as Director An didn't appear before them, this process wouldn't stop.
"I hope those cultists can deliver Director An to me before I return... otherwise, they're truly finished."
Lin Ye wouldn't give up halfway just because he had to return. Those Red Frogs wouldn't either.
