Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1295 611: Prosperity for Those Who Follow Me_4

In the video, Guan Zhengyang made it very clear that they took over this operation, asking Li Banfeng to pull back the people.

This Hidden Form Space has nothing to do with Gourd Village, nor with the Dark Star Bureau; both parties have made their responsibilities crystal clear.

It's impossible to pass the buck, especially since Li Banfeng is a Puluo State native. If he doesn't want to reason, he could just walk away.

Upper management can only hope that Li Banfeng will rise to the occasion and take responsibility.

Li Banfeng feels his position is very high, and his requirements are also clear: If he can get to the bottom of this Dark Dimension Space, he wants the Three-Headed People; the Dark Star Bureau wants the Harmonizing Agent.

The upper management agreed to Li Qi's demands and issued a specific document. Li Banfeng is not in a hurry to start the investigation; he will not act rashly with the lives of Security Team Members as Guan Zhengyang did.

He wants first to understand the principle behind this Tracking Device and also to ascertain the true origins of this spherical organism and the Hidden Form Space. If the spherical organism originally parasitized the Tracking Device, then the manufacturer of the equipment has significant suspicion.

According to Li Qi's orders, all evidence is managed by the Dark Star Bureau, and no one else is allowed to interfere. The Tracking Device is sealed in place and personally inspected by Li Qi, with others forbidden to approach.

By late night, Li Qi entered the caravan and took a look at the shape of the Tracking Device.

The structure of the Tracking Device was simpler than Li Banfeng imagined: a cabinet, a display screen, a set of power distribution equipment, and a metal-framed door.

This truly was a door, not just a frame, but also with a door panel.

The door panel was connected to the cabinet at the back, locked at the front, and according to the equipment manual, this door can only be opened when the Tracking Device is started.

Li Banfeng entered the Portable Residence and brought out his wife, who had beforehand read the equipment manual, looked roughly over the components, and generally figured out the work procedure of the Tracking Device.

"Beloved wife, should we start the equipment and try it?"

"Husband, don't rush. As you said, this thing has locked onto The Unnameable Place. If we open it now, we can't say what it might release; let Little Servant study it carefully first."

Throughout the whole night, the Phonograph figured out the working principle of the Tracking Device: "This is a good thing, I'll list some things for my husband to buy. I'll do some modifications to the Dark Bridge Cannon. If it's successful, one shot could take over a hundred people, no problem."

The technique for breaking the Boundary is becoming more mature, putting Li Banfeng in a good mood.

Is it time to return to Puluo State?

Is there still a need to manage the affairs of the Dark Star Bureau?

Li Banfeng sat in the office, pondering his next step, when Dumpling entered the office, reporting the latest work progress: "Bureau Chief Li, we have made a major discovery within the remnants of the spherical organism. This fragment has the mark of the Steam Reduction Faction."

"What does the Steam Reduction Faction do?" Li Banfeng was puzzled.

"It's an enthusiasts' organization for steam engine technology. They like to restore some modern equipment using steam age technology."

"Are you saying the spherical organism was made by a civilian group?" Li Banfeng shook his head, not believing that a civilian organization could possess such a technical capability.

But Dumpling is very certain: "Bureau Chief Li, we conducted an investigation into the Steam Reduction Faction three years ago; the capabilities of this civilian organization might surprise you."

Li Banfeng frowned and said: "Then don't investigate, arrest them directly!"

"Can't catch them!" Dumpling shook his head, "Three years ago, the Dark Star Bureau exerted all its power and failed to catch any related personnel of the Steam Reduction Faction."

Li Banfeng felt Dumpling's expression was problematic: "It's understandable not to find a person, but saying a whole organization in Huan Country can't be found is a bit much."

"Seventh Master, I wouldn't dare make things up to you," Dumpling said earnestly, "This organization is too strong; the Dark Star Bureau has never encountered such an opponent since its establishment."

"I really want to see it," Li Banfeng looked at the photos Dumpling brought, the fragments of the spherical object's remnants had a square with an exhaust valve, which is the mark of the Steam Reduction Faction.

This civilian organization certainly couldn't create that spherical object, but if this group had contact with the Inner State, that would be another matter.

Is this event related to the war the Inner State is about to initiate?

The issue of De Song Cliff hasn't settled, and if the Inner State truly wants to act, would they choose the Outside Provinces or Puluo State?

After Dumpling left, Li Banfeng contacted Luo Zhengnan and inquired about the situation at De Song Cliff.

"Seventh Master, De Song Cliff is doing well; there's no war recently. Whoever goes to war, falls sick first; rotten hands, then rotten feet. If you still want to fight, your whole body rots."

This method could only be conceived by Cui Tiq.

The key is how he achieved it, to precisely target each person intending to go to war?

...

In a cave, Cui Tiq was rolling out noodles: "These are traditional Puluo State foods, should be more suited to your taste than the bread I bake."

The child took a bite of the bread he was holding, actually, he liked eating bread.

Cui Tiq placed the chopped noodles into the pot and said to the child, "I've made new food, out of respect for me, perhaps you shouldn't eat so much bread."

The child nodded, then took another bite of bread.

Cui Tiq was angry: "I'll warn you again, you'd better think of some information that is valuable to me quickly; my patience with you is really running out!"

The child nodded, continuing to eat the bread.

The noodles were cooked, and Cui Tiq specially prepared fried sauce.

The child ate a bite of noodles, took a bite of bread, then a bite of fried sauce.

Cui Tiq helplessly shook his head: "I've taught you for so long, at least learn some basic table manners; today we're eating fried sauce noodles."

The child dipped his bread in the fried sauce, ate a bite, and said: "Delicious!"

Cui Tiq sighed as he ate his noodles and said to the child, "I expanded the scope of the rule; not just those who attack me will fall ill, but also those who have promised me something but violated that promise."

I thought about it carefully; this has surpassed the rules' scope, should be considered a technique; what do you think this technique should be named?"

The child looked up and said: "The noodles are delicious."

"I'm talking about a technique, do you understand technique? The name I want for this technique is, Prosperity for those who follow me! What do you think of this name? Isn't it a bit pretentious?"

The child nodded and said: "Send me noodle soup; the noodles are delicious!"

Cui Tiq sighed: "Can't you concentrate a bit more? My patience with you is truly running out."

"Send you noodle soup!" The child served a bowl of noodle soup and took it to the cave entrance.

There stood a Knife Labor Ghost, the child handed the noodle soup to him.

The Knife Labor Ghost refused the child; he was on duty at the cave entrance, it was his job.

"Noodle soup, delicious!" The child kept holding the noodle soup.

"Eat it while it's hot." Cui Tiq ordered, the Knife Labor Ghost grabbed the noodle soup and wolfed it down.

After eating, the Knife Labor Ghost tried to smile at the child and returned the bowl.

This Knife Labor Ghost was grown by Cui Tiq at the cave entrance. He reminded many times not to water the seeds, but the child did anyway.

To Cui Tiq's surprise, the Knife Labor Ghost did not harm the child. Although he roared and growled at the child, scaring him, the child indeed was unharmed.

"Prosperity for those who follow me, a good technique," Cui Tiq nodded slightly, with a bit of pride, "If this technique is truly developed, perhaps I don't need to kill everyone."

PS: What is special about this child? What exactly does Cui Tiq want to find out from the child?
