Chapter 665 The Meaning of Cooperation
Although Wu Nian showed an expression of confusion on her face, she still accepted Ran Ran's proposal.
She thought she had made it clear enough - she hoped Ranran would guide her in the future.
She hoped to establish a cooperative relationship with Ranran, just like she had with the butcher. And there was no doubt that she was more optimistic about Ranran than about the butcher. The difference between the two was not just a little bit, but a lot.
The butcher's views and beliefs were what attracted her to work with him in the first place, and Ran Ran not only possessed both, but also possessed a stronger and unquestionable power.
When everyone in the world is immersed in the power brought by the Terror Cave and cannot extricate themselves, the power possessed by Ranran is completely different from the power of the Terror Cave.
The power in her was even stronger than the Horror Cave power that Wu Nian had ever seen in anyone.
As the butcher's trusted confidant, she had heard the butcher talk about something called the fear cave consciousness.
Now, in Wu Nian's cognition, the power that Ranran possesses has undoubtedly far exceeded the power that the terrifying cave consciousness has given to them, the "mortals", but is equivalent to the power of the terrifying cave consciousness itself.
Being with such a person, you can slowly realize whatever her intentions are.
Wu Nian naturally didn't think that Ran Ran was a fool and didn't understand her implied meaning, but she still rejected her and just asked her to cooperate with the Non-Investigation Bureau.
In Wu Nian's opinion, there is a world of difference between cooperating with the non-investigation bureau and cooperating with Ranran himself.
One is the necessity to pursue a goal, the other is the goal itself.
But Ranran insisted on doing so, and Wu Nian knew that she had no right to say no.
No matter how many twists and turns Wu Nian had in her mind about the cooperation, she accepted it calmly on the surface. In comparison, the reactions of the people from the non-adjustment bureau were really exaggerated.
"The Non-Investigation Bureau and the Dawnbreaker Association are working together?! Is it my ears that are broken or is it your brain that is broken?!"
Minister Gao looked at Ran Ran sternly, and Ran Ran looked helpless.
She helped the Non-Investigation Bureau negotiate a big deal. It would be fine if she didn't get any reward, but why did she still have responsibilities...
But she still patiently explained, "It's not the Non-Investigation Bureau and the Dawn Breaking Association that are working together, it's the Dawn Breaking Association and the Non-Investigation Bureau that are working together."
Minister Gao's eyes widened. "Is there any difference between the two?!"
After hearing what Ran Ran said, Hei Cha fell into deep thought, and only then did he interrupt in time, "There is a big difference."
"The difference between the two is who holds the initiative."
"Ran Ran is talking about a situation where the Dawn Breaking Association is taking the initiative to cooperate with us. The initiative is naturally in our hands."
Minister Gao snorted disdainfully, "Can the Dawn Breaking Association really make us do whatever we say?"
Wu Nian glanced at Ranran's calm expression and gave an affirmative answer without a second's hesitation.
"This is natural."
Minister Gao couldn't believe his ears even more. "Huh?"
"Then... then what kind of cooperation is this? This is clearly surrender! Surrender! Being merged!"
Ran Ran just smiled and said, "Everyone understands the meaning of cooperation differently."
Minister Gao then remembered what Kong Yan had said before:
Before, there was only one partner that Wu Nian was willing to acknowledge - the butcher.
Wu Nian's cooperation with the butcher meant surrender, surrender, and being merged! She had directly become the butcher's subordinate!
"So that's what you mean..." Minister Gao pondered and patted Ran Ran on the shoulder. "Although I don't know how you got President Wu to agree, but..."
"well done!"
Minister Gao's hearty laughter rang out at the scene, and everyone in the Non-Investigation Bureau couldn't help but smile.
Only Kong Yan was cursing in the sky, laughing wildly and cursing. "You betrayed him, you stupid woman! Where is the will of that dirty man! Don't you care?!"
Wu Nian just raised his eyes calmly when he heard this, "Have you never thought that I stayed with him for the sake of his 'last wish'?"
Kong Yan, who was struggling frantically, was suddenly startled, "What was that for?"
"Idiot." Wu Nian shook his head helplessly, "Of course it's for my own will."
After saying this, she silently added in her heart that even though she herself did not know what her will was, she wanted to create the most perfect conditions for this grand goal that had not yet arrived at any cost.
Just like a hardworking mother wants to create the best material conditions for her unborn child.
As long as "it" is born, everything will be perfect.
Wu Nian lowered her brows. At this moment, she felt more at ease than when she first stayed beside the butcher and listened to him talk about his grand ambitions.
Even if she could never realize her will and was confused until her death, her life would not have been lived in vain because she had lived with these most outstanding and wonderful people and witnessed how they realized their will.
Maybe this is her will - to always stay beside the protagonist of the world and always be ready to become her own protagonist.
After solving the big issue of the Dawn Association, Ranran felt much more relaxed.
She believed that with Wu Nian's ability, he would be able to create a new Dawn Association, a Dawn Association that would serve the general public just like the Non-Investigation Bureau.
That was when the dawn truly dawned for this organization.
While feeling at ease and relaxed, Ranran couldn't help but feel that the pace of her life was gradually accelerating, and her consciousness was urging her to move forward as quickly as possible.
She wanted to stop, to tell the voice to slow down, but she couldn't.
Ranran raised his eyes to look at Li Zunle, then looked at the distraught Sang Mei in the distance.
Fortunately, there are only two things left to be resolved.
"How is it? President Wu hasn't told me what the result is yet."
As Ranran spoke, Wu Nian withdrew the hand that was covering Li Zunle's head.
As a grandfather, he personally planted a contract in his grandson's body that would cost him his life, just to make his own power stronger, and to harm the people who truly loved him for the so-called family reputation... Has Li Zunle really repented?
Wu Nian gave the answer: "He is indeed very regretful, but not because of the wrong he did to Li Zhengming, but because of fear."
"He's just too afraid that you'll do to him what you did to Huang Song, and that's the root of his remorse."
"It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature." Ran Ran looked down at Li Zunle who was kneeling in front of her with compassion, "Your soul tells us..."
"You have no real remorse."
Li Zunle's face was as pale as paper as soon as Wu Nian gave the answer, even more like a corpse than Huang Song next to him.
Yes, Huang Song was already dead when Ran Ran and Wu Nian reached a cooperation.
He died at a moment worth celebrating, on a day worth remembering.
May his soul be cleansed in the River Styx and become pure and spotless once again.
If the sins of this life are not enough to offset this cruel death, Ranran hopes that he will continue to atone for his sins in the next life, so as to comfort the wandering souls who were imprisoned, tortured and displaced by him.
Li Zunle's face kept shaking, and his breathing was heavy and difficult. It was as if some huge machine was running in his body, causing him to utter those meaningless mutterings while breathing.
"Ah!" Shen Dinghai turned his face away, unable to bear to look directly at him. "He was so scared that he peed his pants..."
There was no expression on Ranran's face. People would naturally become incontinent after death. Li Zunle just brought this process forward.
