Chapter 41 New Choices
  When the darkness dissipated, the scene in front of him was covered by the familiar white mist.

Although he couldn't see clearly, the smell of paraffin left after burning candles in the air proved that he was back at the starting point of the journey, which was Han Yun's body.

But Ji Xiu didn't get up in a hurry to draw the curtains.

The information obtained before the death of the previous timeline proves that the Law Enforcement Department has been infiltrated by the Black Hole Organization, and even the great envoys of the Yujing Church may have collusion with the Black Hole Organization.

But there is a logical problem here.

Why did the Great Envoy betray Yu Jing's faith and choose to help the Black Hole Organization?

As a cleric who stands at the pinnacle of power in the Yu Jing Kingdom, the Great Envoy can have whatever he wants in the Yu Jing Kingdom, and there is no need to commit himself to cooperating with troublesome forces such as the Black Hole Organization.

Both You Hong and An An have said that the top leaders of the Chaos Organization are aliens who believe in the Black Hole God and cannot be human at all.

The great envoy's choice to move closer to the troubled organization was completely putting the cart before the horse, reducing his own power and status.

No matter how powerful the chaos organization is, it is only a force hiding in Yu Jingguo's secrets and cannot compete with Yu Jingguo's overt power.

This choice brings a series of risks, and those who can become great envoys will definitely be able to distinguish the pros and cons.

Could it be that the great envoy was replaced by a foreign civet cat for the prince?
  As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ji Xiu couldn't help but shake his head.

This possibility is very low, even impossible.

If the chaos forces could do this, there would be no need to continue hiding in the dark and they would be fully capable of controlling the entire Yu Jing Kingdom.

But if it was just a coincidence that the great envoy sent An An away, it would be too much of a coincidence. As soon as An An left, the deputy manager placed by the Black Hole Organization in the Law Enforcement Department appeared.

The white fog in front of his eyes dissipated, and Ji Xiu could clearly see the surrounding scene.

He was sitting at the center of the sacrificial ceremony.

But Ji Xiu still didn't choose to get up.

It was completely impossible to escape from the building as Han Yun. At this time, there was no An An to protect him. When he went out, there were killers sent by the black hole organization outside. Even if he escaped from the building, there were killers waiting for him.

Ji Xiu began to think about a question, how to proceed.

Li Tan's identity allowed him to collect three important pieces of information.

First of all, there is the existence of mysterious prehistoric ruins. It is the secrets in this ruins that led to the assassination of all the people involved in the investigation, including the owner of the body Han Yun.

The second piece of information is that the Black Hole Organization is tracking his soul for assassination. Without An An's protection, he can live for about a month at most. By then, members of the Black Hole Killer Organization will come and send him back to the starting point.

The third piece of information is that Xia Gengzhu, the deputy manager of the Law Enforcement Department, is an internal agent placed in the Law Enforcement Department by the Black Hole Killer Organization.

There were two choices before him now.

First, transfer the soul to Li Tan again, escape from the Starlight Building and return to Wuhai City like the previous timeline, until he comes into contact with Lei Yan and An An, survive through their protection, and through Lei Yan and An An, get the chance to go Opportunity for prehistoric ruins.

But there is a problem with this choice. The application requires the approval of the Yujing Church, but the great envoy of the Yujing Church is likely to have collusion with the Black Hole Organization.

Second, after Li Tan's soul was transformed, he took the route of being shot after being captured and used the identity of Tong Wan to survive.

As a member of the Starlight City Law Enforcement Department, it is not difficult for Tong Wan to get in touch with Xia Gengzhu. He can try to find opportunities to become Xia Gengzhu and obtain information on him.

Xia Gengzhu is just an ordinary person. He does not have a red halo above his head. If you kill him, his soul will take over your body.

The conversation before his death made him realize that Xia Gengzhu was different from Li Tan and Laohua, the low-level killers of the black hole organization. Xia Gengzhu obviously knows a lot of information about the Black Hole Organization, and may even know why the Black Hole Organization wants to kill him.

How to choose? Ji Xiu made a decision after thinking briefly.

He decided to try to become Xia Gengzhu, and then contact the black hole organization as Xia Gengzhu to investigate the mysterious ruins and the truth behind the hunt.

Standing up, Ji Xiu stepped over the sacrifice formation at his feet and came to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking up towards the top of the Starlight Building opposite, I could vaguely see a vague figure, which was not very clear from a distance.

He turned around and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. There were still two minutes left before Li Tan fired.

Ji Xiu stood in front of the window waiting for the moment of soul transformation to arrive.

Two minutes later, the white light reflected by the sniper rifle scope flashed in his eyes. Ji Xiu stood calmly on the spot and slowly opened his hands:

"Since ancient times, no one has ever..."

Before he finished reciting the lines, the floor-to-ceiling window glass in front of him suddenly shattered, and a silver bullet whirling in the airflow suddenly enlarged.

Without even feeling a trace of pain, the scene in front of him was swallowed up by darkness.

When Ji Xiu opened his eyes again, the white mist was still there.

He propped up his fallen body and sat down against the wall. He reached for the handbag beside him and made sure that his consciousness and soul had been transferred to Li Tan. Ji Xiu sat calmly on the ground and did not intend to get up.

The sirens outside were getting closer and closer, and the white fog in front of Ji Xiu's eyes also dissipated.

He turned around, rummaged through the black handbag beside him, took out a piece of clothing, tore it in half with his teeth and wrapped it around his left and right arms.

After a long time, sirens blared loudly under the Starlight Building, and it was obvious that the force of the Law Enforcement Department had arrived.

Not long after, dense footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

Ji Xiu raised his hands in advance, with no thought of resistance in his heart. He just wanted to be shot as soon as possible and start a new life.

boom!
  The gray door leading to the rooftop was violently pushed open, and two brown-haired police dogs barked and rushed towards him. The law enforcement officers who appeared one after another lined up neatly in front of the door, took out pistols from their waists, and fired their muzzles into the black hole. Aiming at him, the leading law enforcer saw the sniper rifle placed beside him and immediately roared at him:

"Don't move, you are surrounded, surrender immediately!"

Ji Xiu stood up at this moment and took the initiative to stretch out his arms to meet the rushing police dog.

The police dogs also cooperated by biting his left and right forearms respectively, shaking his head, pressing back on his limbs, and dragging him to the ground.

Fortunately, this time he had tied clothes on his arms in advance, so the police dog's teeth could not penetrate the skin and embed into the flesh.

The sound of dense footsteps approaching quickly, and realizing what was going to happen next, Ji Xiu, who was dragged to the ground, shouted decisively:
  "I've surrendered, don't press me, it hurts!"

However, the members of the Law Enforcement Department ignored his shouts at all, as the first figure pressed on him, then the second, and the third... Ji Xiu suddenly felt breathless and under great pressure.

Finding that surrender was ineffective, Ji Xiu, who was blushing, gave up struggling completely and his tense body voluntarily went limp:

"Forget it, just crush me to death..."
