Demon Lord 3

Wu Luansen was equally uncompromising, showcasing his best skills, with Xing Zhichuan close behind. Later, I learned they were actually a duo; they had previously formed a new team, supposedly to achieve twice the result with half the effort. And indeed, one could freely use countless schemes in his mind, while the other was practically a human computer. The two stood there like an impenetrable wall. Zhou Chuyuan even brought over stools for us to sit on. The stools had been placed quite far away earlier, and Lin Zhenfei's demonstration, with its large movements, might have been affected if we were closer. Wu Luansen brought out the materials we were most familiar with—files from many cases we had solved before, as well as some we hadn't encountered before—cases the paranormal investigation team had uncovered in recent years. When he received them, Zhang Liangzhi patted his chest confidently: "Look everyone, I prepared all of this. Feel free to use it. Our paranormal investigation team not only has these here, but also similar ones in the pseudo-world. Don't underestimate that world; the larger world generally doesn't interfere. It's a relatively independent world, and there might be some very strange things there." "Some things are beyond anyone's control. The families there are like those in the vast world. Even in places far from the emperor's reach, there are bound to be local tyrants. Don't think it's a peaceful place." Getting back to the point, Xing Zhichuan picked up the documents and started reading. His speed was unimaginable, like a computer taking a picture. He then summarized the problems in each document. Wu Luansen provided corresponding solutions based on these problems, and explained who would be sent if our team went on a mission together, how many days we would need, and our chances of success. Wu Luanpei stood silently to the side. Actually, I felt a bit envious and even a little admiring of him, but I didn't urge him to step forward. After all, in other people's eyes, he was just a substitute, only there to fill in when we didn't have a strategist. But I thought differently. No one is a substitute for anyone; it's only about whether their actions benefit our team. Since they've joined our team and contributed to it, they're our teammates. There's no need to exclude or isolate anyone. Someone, who might have been imitating before, is now striving to surpass. Even if they can't surpass, they should still live as themselves. After the performance, we all applauded. Wu Luanpei clapped from the bottom of his heart: "Sen-ge, Chuan-ge, you are both my role models, you are so amazing! If you do this kind of task in the future, take me with you. We'll get more cases in the future, and I can learn and improve together. I'm looking forward to that day, please don't leave me out." Wu Luansen saw what he meant and came over to pat him on the shoulder, saying, "Listen, everyone, from now on we're like brothers, how could I not take you in? Not only will I take you in, but I'll also arrange a lot of work for you. Just don't complain about it." Wu Luanpei excitedly said, "I won't complain, of course I won't complain. It's all thanks to you brothers and sisters, I'm happy to accept." Everyone chatted and laughed, and the other companions also demonstrated one by one. By the time it ended, it was already evening. We didn't move the chairs away, but instead set up a table and had a barbecue. Zhou Chuyuan's barbecue skills had also improved a lot. He was still learning before, but now he was already... Having honed my skills, I still quite enjoy barbecue. Before my parents went to the Grand World, we used to sit together and eat barbecue. Zhou Chuyuan started thinking about his parents and chatted with me: "Yueyue, how are my parents doing? I wonder if my mom, the kind of person who doesn't know what she wants, will ever get what she wants. The name she gave me, and the character for my crush's name—my dad was furious when he found out. Actually, they're quite pitiful. They often have no say. By the time they finally have a voice, it's no longer their world. Even within the family, they're always being manipulated. My dad never became as powerful as your dad." I put my arm around his shoulder: "Don't say that. I've met your dad; he's quite capable. Your mom is the same; they're both good people. Everyone has their own troubles, and we're no exception. We face these things every day, and sometimes we find them annoying. They do too. Perhaps they have many things they can't control. We can't say that. Understanding, accepting, being tolerant, and respecting are the only things we can do."
