Godslayer: Sharingan, wait until I awaken Susanoo to slay the gods!

Cangnan City Park.

On a green lawn, a red and white checkered picnic mat was spread out on the ground. Hongying lay on her back on it, letting the sunlight shine on her face.

"It's been so long since we've had a team-building activity, it's really relaxing," Hongying exclaimed.

Zhang Luochen stood beside Chen Muye, who was grilling skewers.

"What? Want to learn?" Chen Muye asked Zhang Luochen.

Zhang Luochen nodded: "Yeah, I copied it down too."

Chen Muyi was taken aback: "This thing can be learned by copying?"

"I don't know either," Zhang Luochen said, spreading his hands.

"Then you can try it." Chen Muye handed a few skewers to Zhang Luochen.

Zhang Luochen took a few skewers of meat and placed them on the barbecue grill. He imitated Chen Muye's movements, sprinkling cumin and chili powder from time to time. His technique looked very skilled, even like that of a seasoned barbecue master.

"Does your family own a barbecue restaurant? Your technique is so skillful!" Wu Xiangnan, who was skewering meat with sticks nearby, couldn't help but ask.

"I am an orphan." Zhang Luochen's movements were so practiced that no one would guess he had only just started watching.

After a while, Zhang Luochen looked at the charred skewers in front of him and fell into deep thought: "It seems that simply copying the actions is not enough."

Chen Muyi was embarrassed. Good heavens, his movements were smooth and fluid, but his score was 0-5. He couldn't help but say, "Let me do it. This thing still requires mastering the timing. I've only learned the surface, not the essence."

Chen Muyi paused for a moment, then thought, "It seems that your copying ability has this shortcoming: you can copy it completely, but you can't grasp its essence, so you still need to continue to improve it in the future."

Zhang Luochen nodded vigorously. He understood what Chen Muye meant when he said that having only the appearance was just a facade.

Not long after, Chen Muye brought out the grilled skewers. Seeing that only Lin Qiye and Hongying were there, he was a little puzzled.

"Where are Wen Qimo and Xiao Nan?"

"They went to buy drinks, they should be back soon." Hongying stared intently at the plates of grilled skewers, her mouth watering at the thought.

"Leng Xuan... never mind, he'll show up when he's supposed to. Let's eat first then," Chen Muye said.

Hongying reacted quickly, grabbing a skewer and starting to eat, praising it enthusiastically as she ate.

"To be honest, our meals have been so much better since you two came."

Zhang Luochen and Lin Qiye exchanged glances. Then, Lin Qiye spoke up: "Before, was the captain so reluctant to cook?"

“He’s cooked more times this year than in previous years,” Hongying said.

Just then, Wen Qimo and Si Xiaonan walked over carrying two large bags of drinks, with Si Xiaonan also holding a green flower in her hand.

Hongying saw the green flower in Si Xiaonan's hand and immediately became interested: "What kind of flower is this? I've never seen it before."

Wu Xiangnan sighed softly: "This is Manjusaka, also known as the Red Spider Lily."

"Aren't spider lilies red? This one is green."

“Who says the red spider lily doesn’t come in green?” Wu Xiangnan explained. “The red spider lily comes in many colors. For example, the red one symbolizes ‘longing, memories, and the beauty of death,’ the blue one symbolizes ‘carrying on one’s back and separation,’ and the black one symbolizes ‘unpredictable darkness, death, and turbulent love.’”

"What about the green one?" Hongying asked curiously.

Wu Xiangnan thought for a moment and said, "It represents the hope of continuous life."

Zhang Luochen raised an eyebrow: "Endless life?"

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiye suddenly asked curiously.

“I seem to see an endless surge of life…” Zhang Luochen raised his head slightly, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Everyone looked at Zhang Luochen with suspicion, while Chen Muyi muttered to himself, "An endless surge of life?"

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Luochen, and I'm about to start lying."

Si Xiaonan placed her palm on Zhang Luochen's forehead: "You don't have a fever."

Lin Qiye said thoughtfully, "I do know a little about mental illness."

Hongying picked up another skewer: "Can I finish this first before I go?"

Zhang Luochen snapped out of his daze and looked at everyone: "Ah, I'm so sorry, I accidentally switched channels."

The others ignored him and continued eating their skewers, chatting and boasting. Hongying, in particular, enthusiastically recounted the embarrassing stories of the others.

Zhang Luochen observed everyone with a smile; such a wonderful atmosphere could only exist at this moment.

When everyone had finished eating and drinking, Chen Muye wiped his mouth and said calmly, "This time, I have something to announce."

Everyone fell silent. When the captain spoke, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and waited quietly for Chen Muye to continue.

"I received a notification this morning that the garrison in Shangjing City has invited our 136th squad to Shangjing for observation and learning. After the team building activity, we can go back to pack our things and prepare to set off for Shangjing tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing the news, Hongying's face beamed with an undisguised smile: "That's wonderful! Going to the capital, I've wanted to go for so long."

Wu Xiangnan frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What will happen to Cangnan City after we leave? What if something mysterious happens?"

“I will stay, so don’t worry.” Then Chen Muye looked at Zhang Luochen and Lin Qiye: “Qiye and Luochen are new members, so will you stay as well? Is that alright?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Luochen's heart tightened: "It's finally coming..."

Then, he and Lin Qiye nodded at the same time and said in unison, "No problem."

However, Wen Qimo still had some doubts: "We are not familiar with the Shangjing team at all, and we have no connection with them."

Chen Muye explained the reason for the matter, and then continued, "Lin Qiye and Zhang Luochen are both new members who just joined, so they didn't register before. Only you few went."

"How long will it take to observe?" Hongying asked curiously.

"It will take anywhere from three days to a week. This is a notice; please take a look." Chen Muye handed the document to everyone for review.

"Alright, everyone's finished eating. Go back and pack your things. We're leaving at 7 a.m. tomorrow."

Early the next morning.

Chen Muye brought Zhang Luochen and Lin Qiye to the airport and saw them off. After they left, Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask:

"Captain, why did you lie to them?"

Chen Muyi's body stiffened, and he asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Qiye smiled wryly: "When you were forging documents in the office, it was within my perception range."

“I can see through the authenticity of that document,” Zhang Luochen said.

Chen Muyi looked slightly helpless, but still managed to offer an explanation: "Qiye, Luochen, if possible, I would also like you to leave together. However, according to orders from our superiors, Lin Qiye cannot leave Cangnan. But leaving him alone would not be a sufficient reason. So, I thought about it and decided to let Zhang Luochen stay as well."

Zhang Luochen turned his head to look down at the small city. Having been in Cangnan City for more than a year, he really liked this place.

What's meant to happen will happen.
