Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 373: Same Heart, Different Paths (Part )

She suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and quickly took out two cards and handed them to Grandma Ling: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot."

"Don't you want to verify it?" Grandma Ling didn't reach out to take it immediately, but asked teasingly.

Fu Cangzhao shook his head: "I don't need those procedures."

Hearing this, Grandma Ling still seemed uneasy: "What would you do if I betrayed the city?"

Fu Cangzhao still shook his head and said with great certainty: "Grandma Ling did not betray the city. I can feel it."

"Give me the evidence." At this point, Grandma Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the young tomb keeper was still on guard. She just deliberately threw a question to Fu Cangzhao to see what kind of surprising answer the young man could give.

"Because... once the Northern Tomb Keepers lose their loyalty, they are destined to be... destined to be rejected by the Fairy Papyrus."

Fu Cangzhao was a little nervous at first and spoke hesitantly, but as he spoke he completely got into the state and his thoughts became clearer.

"Whether it's our southern tomb keepers or your northern tomb keepers, they all need to be screened before they can be trained. The southern school's screening method is very simple, which is to see who can naturally be recognized by the fairy papyrus. Such people are hard to find.

"If we were to say where there are more of them, it would be the several families of the Southern Tomb Keepers who are stationed outside the Xiahe District. They have been raised there for generations, and the education they have received since childhood is similar to that of the official tomb keepers, and they will never have any doubts - the more they can communicate with the fairy papyrus, the more deeply rooted their concept of 'urban supremacy' will be, and no one can influence it.

"The Northern School relies more on human wave tactics than our Southern School, so they pursue standardization and their training methods are relatively rough. So it is definitely not feasible to select innate talents from the crowd like the Southern School. You don't value innate conditions in terms of consciousness, but focus on selecting people with superior physical conditions."

At this point, Fu Cangzhao paused and asked Grandma Ling with his eyes whether she wanted to continue answering. The latter nodded, indicating that she should continue.

So she continued, "So how does the Northern School ensure the loyalty of its members? The answer is also on the Fairy Papyrus. However, unlike the Southern School, which would spend a long time slowly communicating with it and slowly accepting it, you chose to directly accept the cleansing of your consciousness, which is the baptism ceremony. After the baptism ceremony, the stains in your consciousness stained by the Inkless Pen will be cleansed, thus ensuring that you will not betray."

"Yes, our baptism ceremony is equivalent to giving a belief," Grandma Ling said with a smile, "No matter where you go, once you have formed a belief, it will be difficult for you to abandon it. Moreover, for us, abandoning the belief is equivalent to telling the fairy Papyrus that this person is useless. This person's card-making talent - or the ability to communicate with white cards - will be completely deprived, and even the inherent ability will be greatly affected."

Fu Cangzhao's pure white flame, Bing Haoqi's black flame of hatred, and Ji Xueyue's wind and snow are all inherent abilities.

Grandma Ling's inherent ability is the barrier she is using now.

If Grandma Ling betrayed the Northern Tomb Keepers, or betrayed the city, then her barrier strength would definitely be much weaker than before, but now it is not, but remains stable. Special means such as drugs or equipment amplification cannot escape Fu Cangzhao's perception, and she did not feel that there was anything wrong with Grandma Ling.

This is where her confidence comes from.

"In fact, in the city's 500-year history, there have indeed been cases where people were willing to sacrifice their inherent abilities in order to betray the city," Grandma Ling explained, "but the city has its own way of dealing with it, such as using undertakers, or... using your southern tomb keepers. Generally speaking, we from the north must send out at least ten people to match one southern tomb keeper, so the southern sect's succession assessment requires the examinee to remain intact under the siege of at least ten northern tomb keepers, and to defeat all opponents."

After saying this, Grandma Ling actually took the two cards from her hand.

Just as he was about to put it away, he suddenly noticed the curious gaze of the boy next to him, so he took it out again and asked, "Although this is not in compliance with the regulations, do you want to see it?"

There was a sound of swallowing saliva, and the boy nodded as expected.

"Anyway, you are the only one left in the Southern School. We all treat you as one of our own. There is no harm in knowing it." Grandma Ling smiled slyly and worked on unlocking the codes of the two cards.

It has to be said that the old ones are the wisest. The multiple codes that had previously given Wei Youmeng, an expert in dynamic calculations, a headache were solved with almost no obstacles in her hands. The other card from Song Ximing was ignored by the two of them at the same time.

After unlocking the password, the card turned into a space storage card. Grandma Ling opened the corresponding space zipper, and a brown paper document fell from the air, which was caught steadily by Fu Cangzhao.

"This is……"

Fu Cangzhao straightened the document and read the words on it clearly. His voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and the next moment it became extremely empty: "Sweeping woman?! Why are you here..."

"You know?" Grandma Ling looked at her in surprise and raised her eyebrows.

Fu Cangzhao's forehead suddenly broke out in a layer of sweat, and his tongue began to get tangled: "No, I...uh, I'm..."

"Tell me slowly, don't be in a hurry." Seeing the young person beside her fall into panic, Grandma Ling reached out and gently stroked her head and back, and guided her with words, "Are you saying that you have seen it somewhere else?"

"I... I don't know..." The boy's fair hands trembled violently, and he could hardly hold the document. "This is me... I am... it's me..."

Her breathing became more rapid, her body trembled more violently, and her eyes began to blur. Grandma Ling quickly snatched the document from her hand, quickly stuffed the card back, and hugged Fu Cangzhao's trembling body tightly, soothing him softly.

Such an intense reaction was really unexpected, and Grandma Ling could only wait for her to slowly calm down.

After some patient comfort, Fu Cangzhao curled up on the hotel bed and fell asleep, and Grandma Ling finally had some free time. She took out the document that had made Fu Cangzhao so upset and carefully read every word on it.

It was marked on the brown paper file bag that this document was top secret in the city, and the name column had three big characters written on it: Street Cleaner.

She opened the file bag, took out the paper documents inside, and read through them carefully.

After reading for a while, she heaved a long sigh, shook her head, put the document back into the file bag and resealed it, muttering to herself: "...I see, this is the city's trump card. Now that the mayor has even handed over this, it's really our turn to work!"

Although she couldn't fully understand it, she roughly understood that this thing called "scavenger woman" was the ultimate weapon for the city to defend against enemies.

The child panicked.
