Chapter 78: Calgars Secret

During this period of time, Qi Fen didnt leave the Underground Trading Floor Institute.

When Blue Shark learned about the big breakthrough, he wanted to help but couldn't, so he could only send more people to guard the entrance of the institute, so not even a fly could pass by there.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Qi Fen lived and ate in the institute, 24 hours a day, and worked with Luo ZhouZhou to study the unknown cells and try to fuse them with Benzedrine. The unknown cells killed the Sunset Virus, and the Benzedrine activated the patient's bodily functions, therefore with this two-pronged approach, there was hope that the patients could be cured.

Luo ZhouZhou also visited Xiao Yu at the Military Research Institute.

When he walked into the hospital room, there were colorful paper frogs all over the room, hanging all over the head and foot of the bed, and in a circle around the electric light in the middle of the room, the rest hanging on the window frame, fluttering slightly like wind chimes.

The moment Xiao Yu saw him, her eyes lit up and she grinned with a toothless grin. When Luo ZhouZhou approached the hospital bed, they just stared at each other and giggled.

After a while, Luo ZhouZhou remembered his business and said to Xiao Yu, "I did what I promised you, Sunset Face can finally be cured.

Xiao Yu couldnt speak at all now, and could only make a face of wonder to express her inner joy.

Luo ZhouZhou went on to say, "Don't worry, the first batch of medicine is in the process of being made, and it will be ready for you in a week.

Xiao Yu's eyes slowly filled with tears, which flowed down from the wrinkled corners of her eyes.

"When you're better, I'll invite you to my house, to see Precious and Big Crow and Little Crow, and my Alpha." Luo ZhouZhou looked around and found no tissue, so he tugged at his sleeve and clumsily and carefully went to wipe her tears.

Xiao Yu choked and nodded, while mouthing, "Okay."

As the election was about to begin, Calgar spent his days at various events, either at charity events or giving speeches all around. Chu Feng, as usual, followed him wherever he went, with Willson at his side.

Although Calgar was threatened by him, he didnt seem to take it personally and still held him in high regard. But Chu Feng knew in his heart that once the election was over, the blade hanging over his head would fall.

Today was a day to attend a charity auction and meet with some politicians and businessmen, and Chu Feng sat in the limousine, eyeing Calgar sitting opposite him without a word.

Calgar was leaning against the back of the seat with his eyes closed, and his face, with a rare expression that didn't maintain a genial, standard smile, looked more than a little gloomy as the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.

"Chu Feng." He spoke suddenly.

"I am here." Chu Feng was sitting upright across from him.

When Calgar called him without speaking, Chu Feng waited quietly.

A little while later, Calgar slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Chu Feng, what is your dream?"

"Loyalty to Your Excellency and to build a better alliance," Chu Feng replied fluently, without thinking.

Calgar didn't comment on his answer and turned to look out the window. This was the busiest part of Bayard, lined with new high-rises and roads as wide as Aleisha's. The only difference was that there were always one or two raggedy people sitting on the street.

When the red light came on and the driver stopped and waited, neither Calgar nor Chu Feng spoke. On the side of the street was a full garbage can, and the garbage that couldn't fit in the can was thrown out at random. A crippled, middle-aged man was squatting on the ground, rummaging through the garbage bags.

"Do you know what my dream is?" Calgar suddenly spoke up and asked.

Chu Feng replied respectfully, "I don't know."

"I hope the world is fair and that Bayard's children will no longer cry and will be able to sit in spacious classrooms. They have the same opportunity as Aleisha's children to let their lives shine," Calgar said.

Chu Feng's hands on his lap squeezed slightly, "Your Excellency, you have achieved your dream, and now that many new schools have been built in Bayard, the children will not wander around.

Pointing out the window, Calgar said, "But look, what hope is there for such people? His only wish is to rummage through the trash a little more, and the money he exchanges for a glass of wine, or to gamble a little more."

"His leg is lame, Your Excellency," Chu Feng whispered.

"A lame leg is no excuse, Chu Feng, the Alliance is a huge machine, and we are its axles, pushing it along with difficulty. The children of the Alliance are the tiny components that fill the machine with hope. The lazy people outside are the rust on the machine, their greediness covering the skin, heavy and useless, only gradually corroding the machine, making it harder for us to push."

The middle-aged man next to the trash can, as if he had found something good, his eyes lit up. He slowly pulled out a pink object from the trash, slapped it, and pulled up the corner of his coat to wipe the stains from it.

It was a pink rabbit plush, half of its ears were gone, but the middle-aged man smiled gently and put it carefully into the big bag he had placed at his feet.

Chu Feng silently thought, Maybe the waiting children will cheer when he goes home and pulls the plush out of the bag.

The light turned green, the driver started the car, and the middle-aged man, still going through the trash, disappeared from view.

Calgar eased back into the seat, darkened the windows, and hid his face in the shadows. "Chu Feng, if the people who will only be a burden to the Alliance are gone, the next generation, and then the next, will live in an extremely beautiful environment."

"Your Excellency, he is also trying to live, but with a lame leg" Chu Feng said with his head bowed, "Maybe he is not rust, but given the right place, he will also be embedded in the machine and become the driving force behind the Alliance."

Calgar sighed and replied, "There's a lot of poor funding going on everywhere, and everyone is reaching out to me for it. There are a large number of Truthers at the border, and the military can't afford to stop, but there are a large number of unemployed people in Bayard, waiting to receive welfare payments By the way, what's going on with that institute with Qi Fen? Is it actually useful to spend so much money every day to treat Sunset Face?"

Chu Feng slowly raised his head, his deep eyes unable to see what he was thinking.

"Your Excellency, do you mean that the Institute will be closed down after the general election?"

"What do you think?" Calgar looked at him and asked him slowly.

Instead of answering, Chu Feng asked, "Your Excellency, are you going to give up those patients if Sunset Face is not cured?"

No one dared to disturb him, only waited quietly.

A flock of doves flew across the sky and landed on the steeple of a church a few hundred meters away, squatting into a row of small black dots.

The church had also been remodeled and was now a public library.

Chu Feng looked at the doves and murmured, "One day, the star will be picked up from the sludge and shine with its own light. Twenty-seven stars, shining forever on the Alliance"

Chen SiHan looked blankly at Second Lieutenant Lin, who shrugged his shoulders at him and spread his hands to show that he didn't understand either.

Chu Feng was silent again, turned back and said, "I suddenly remembered a little story about the Truth Church. In the final years of the Empire's overthrow, when the Truth Church was at its most rampant, they seized power and, on the verge of madness, expelled all those who suffered from Sunset Face, sending them to a desert or island where they were left to their own destruction."

"When the believers drove the last of the Sunset Face patients out of the border, one of them, a wise and highly respected man, said to the believers: You have defiled the holy religion of Truth and made it evil, but your future will be either at the point of a gun or on the gallows, and this land will be swallowed up by darkness and turned into an uninhabited desert."

"The wise man told them not to grieve, saying that it had been foretold in the Flame Sutra that the true Son of Truth would go with them to an unknown place and return one day to save the people of this land.

Second Lieutenant Lin was puzzled and asked, "They were driven out by the Truth Church, so why should they believe in the prophecy in the Flame Sutra? And the wise men said something about the holy religion of Truth, which has always been an evil devil."

There were a few knocks on the door, and everyone stopped talking.

Xiao Feng brought in some coffee, put it down, and then left the room.

Chu Feng picked up the cup of coffee, took a sip and said, "I have read the Flame Sutra, which expresses inner happiness and equality. It's about the generations of believers who deliberately misinterpret the meaning of the scriptures to satisfy their own desires."

"And this has something to do with Calgar, no with Edie?" Chen SiHan asked blankly.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and said softly, "On page 90 of the Flame Sutra, there is a prophecy: The ascetic saw the Holy Son of Night in the mirror of day, and finally followed it to find him. He is taken to an unknown region and guarded until he gradually awakens and finally returns to save his people."

Chen SiHan contemplated for a moment and suddenly said, "You mean that Calgar, no, Edie, was recognized as the Holy Son by those people of the Truth Church, so they abducted and raised him? Seeing the Son of the Night in the mirror of day means identical twins, who consider themselves ascetics, guarding the awakening of the Holy Son."

"When Calgar became president, it was the return of the Holy Son they thought would save their people." Second Lieutenant Lin brightened and answered.

Chen SiHan's eyes gleamed and said, "When the Truth Church fell, there was no escape for Edie, so he killed his own twin brother and took his place."

He stood up with a clap of his hands and said excitedly, "That explains why Calgar decided that our group of Special Forces would fail the mission and would destroy the application in advance, because he wouldn't let us catch the archdeacon and give him up."

"When we were on the Bavo Church mission, Gu Shuming was shaking in the car and said that if anyone died, he would put it on Calgar's head, so he must have learned the secret somewhere, and he understood quite a lot."

Chu Feng turned back again and looked at the church in a daze.

"Calgar was once our honorary rector, and it was probably at that time that Gu Shuming discovered something."

Chen SiHan also fell silent, and after a moment said, "Maybe he ran into a conversation between Calgar and Wang Jun."

"Maybe."

Neither of them spoke again, but looked out of the window silently.

The officer sitting at the round table mumbled, "No wonder the Alliance has so much money, but never enough, and the Truth Church at the border is growing stronger and stronger. Maybe he has taken all our funds and is trying to revive the Truth Church."

Second Lieutenant Lin coughed and said, "But without evidence, all our inferences are just inferences."

Chen SiHan sighed and covered his forehead, "Tomorrow is the election, and if he is re-elected, he will clean us up one by one, so it will be hard to get another chance."

Chu Feng put his coffee cup back on the table and said, "I think this may be the secret that General Luo has."

Chen SiHan looked at him desperately, "But Luo Pei won't tell us, so we have no choice but to watch."

"Soon." Chu Feng suddenly said.

"What's coming soon?" Chen SiHan asked.

Chu Feng said, "If my estimation is correct, General Luo will see me today."

"Why?"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "The last time I saw him in prison, he said he would come to me if he figured it out, proving that he has his own channels to get news from the outside world. Although it wasn't a direct order from Calgar, Luo Pei won't hold onto the evidence any longer, and he can't afford the possibility of Zhou Zhou being in danger again in the future."

"Are you that sure?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Chu Feng's terminal beeped with a message.

He looked down, smiled and said, "Someone contacted me and said Luo Pei wants to see me."

Chen SiHan opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "You really did guess."

"It wasn't a guess," Chu Feng said.

"Then whats the reason?"

Chu Feng stood up, straightened his cap and replied, "Because we both love Zhou Zhou."
