Chapter 447 Pack Up
Hearing Hao Ren’s words, almost everyone present gave him a “you gotta be kidding me” look. Vivian kicked Hao Ren under the table: “Do you think that excuse will work?”
Nangong Wuyue stroked his chin with a serious expression: “An employee like you is best suited to be tied to the Nantian Gate and struck by lightning every day. The goddess is just crazy, not stupid.”
After knowing Raven 12345 for a long time, it seemed that everyone had accepted the setting of her being a crazy goddess, and even Nangong Wuyue was finally not so serious anymore.
Hao Ren laughed loudly to the sky: “Haha—do you guys understand her as well as I do? She can’t wait for someone to take advantage of her loopholes. And so many Irim spirits have already moved there. Adding tens of thousands more people this time won’t take up much space. Doudou Star is sparsely populated and still lacks labor… By the way, I still have to discuss it with Hilda, after all, that place is already rented to her.”
Hao Ren meant that he had made up his mind to transport Izaks’ entire city to Doudou Star: The demon army was now exhausted from a hundred battles, and the heroes’ ambitions were basically worn out. Most of the people in the city still hoped to live a down-to-earth life.
At this time, Lily remembered something. She looked up at Izaks: “By the way, can your city’s people survive on Doudou Star?”
“The environment there is similar to that of the human world here,” Izaks nodded. “Demons don’t necessarily have to live in high-temperature areas. In fact, most demons can be active in the human world for a long time. We just prefer the sulfur smell of the demon plane.”
As he spoke, Izaks looked at Hao Ren gratefully: “Well… I’m counting on you this time. This is a national favor, and I really don’t know what to…”
Hao Ren quickly waved his hand: “We’re all family, why are you saying this?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lily next to him pinched her nose and imitated Hao Ren’s tone: “Ever since I saw your daughter that day, I decided to be brothers with you… Hey, hey, hey, don’t touch my ears! Don’t pull my tail! Don’t knock my head…”
Hao Ren felt that Lily must have eaten something bad recently. This girl used to be silly, but she didn’t seem this wretched… Could it be true that, as she said, her estrus was approaching?
He threw Lily to Vivian for education, and he had already connected with Raven 12345. However, after the mental connection was dialed, what sounded was not a voice, but a majestic and sacred musical sound, which sounded like a hymn. Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had accidentally dialed Jesus, and was about to hang up when he heard Raven 12345’s loud voice: “Hello? Who is it? Hao Ren?”
“What was that music just now?”
Raven 12345 seemed to be in a good mood, and the tone of each word was raised by a quarter: “It’s a ringtone! I’ve been studying it for several days, and I finally put a new ringtone on the prayer system. In the future, whether it’s employees dialing directly or believers praying, they can hear it…”
Hao Ren: “…If you’re so idle all day long, can’t you solve some practical problems?! With the effort to add a ringtone to the Heaven Hotline, you should have studied world peace earlier!”
“This is too difficult. My colleagues and I are still fighting like cats and dogs every day,” Raven 12345 said indifferently. “Alright, what’s the progress on your side?”
“The people have been found,” Hao Ren sorted out his thoughts. “But there are more people than we expected. Can you bring them all over?”
Raven 12345 asked casually: “More people? How many more?”
Hao Ren carefully reported a number: “Not many, about five or six hundred thousand.”
Raven 12345 was silent for a moment: “…Oh, well, don’t move from there. I’ll add a blessing to you.”
As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he jumped to the side, and then a thunderbolt appeared out of thin air and struck the place where he was just standing, scaring him into a cold sweat: “Hey, hey, don’t mess around—I haven’t finished speaking yet. First of all, we’ve already transported so many Irim spirits, and the facts prove that there’s no problem. Secondly… I have some other discoveries, and this discovery is bigger than the scale of those hundreds of thousands of people.”
Immediately, Hao Ren told the crazy woman about the wreckage of the alien spaceship he had discovered and the “First Born” who had crossed over from another world. Raven 12345 was uncharacteristically silent for a while after listening. Obviously, this situation was beyond her expectations.
“Good job!” The other party finally spoke, and her voice sounded particularly happy. “I knew I didn’t misjudge you back then. You’re born to be a troublemaker! You’re bound to trigger some events wherever you go!”
Hao Ren immediately felt that there was a pit in this statement, and his heart tightened: “Wait, what did you say about being born to be a troublemaker? What do you know?”
His nervousness was justified, because the other party was, after all, a goddess, and every word she said had to be taken seriously. If ordinary people said that Hao Ren was born to cause trouble, he would just treat it as a joke, but now that a goddess was saying this… this might lead to a follow-up of “a life destined to be filled with misfortune”, so he had to ask clearly immediately.
Raven 12345 seemed to be able to see Hao Ren’s current expression: “Tch, what’s there to be nervous about? I’m using a colloquial expression. If you think it’s scary, I’ll change it to a literary one: you are entangled in karma, and your life is destined to experience extraordinary things that ordinary people can’t imagine—but even if the sky falls, I can… um, I can resurrect you after you’re crushed to death, so you don’t have to worry.”
Hao Ren was confused by what he heard, and finally summarized it in one sentence: So the colloquial translation of those highfalutin “people who bear karma” in novels is “troublemakers”…
Hearing that Hao Ren hadn’t made a sound for a long time, Raven 12345 quickly shifted his attention: “Alright, alright, let’s talk about these things when the sky falls. Anyway, you’ve really found something amazing this time… That ship must be transported back immediately. It has experienced the collision of two worlds in an instant. This process is very similar to the collision between the Dream Plane and the surface world, so the situation of that ship has great reference value.”
Hao Ren smiled: “Then there are still half a million people… Anyway, the entire Demon King City is not as big as that ship. Can you just take it as a gift with the spaceship?”
Raven 12345 also laughed: “You’re really too lazy to even think of an excuse now… Okay, it’s not a big deal anyway. Their civilization level hasn’t even reached the stage of space colonization, so it can be approved. I’ll open a temporary world gate for you. Just send me a coordinate when the time comes.”
Hao Ren hung up the communication with satisfaction, and looked up at Izaks, who was looking forward to it: “The permission has been granted. You can take the city and the ship away. You can now announce it to the whole city and inform your people of what’s going to happen next. Their decision to stay or leave… is up to them.”
Elizabeth blinked her eyes and looked around, tugging at Hao Ren’s sleeve: “Uncle Ren, can you really move the whole city away?”
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and his mouth twitched: “It’s Uncle Hao…”
Izaks quickly began to order people to announce the news that they were about to move, and explained as concisely as possible the cause and effect of the move and the possible situation of the new environment, while Hao Ren sent out the data terminal—to collect spatial readings near the wreckage of the ship, so as to determine the opening position of the world gate.
After assigning the work to each other, Izaks and Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. The two heavy burdens seemed to be able to be put down a little—of course, Hao Ren’s burden was far from being comparable to Izaks’. The Demon King, whose wish had been fulfilled, leaned on his huge seat and looked at Elizabeth, who was playing with Doudou, and was filled with emotion: “From now on, this child can finally live a stable life…”
“Speaking of which, what do you think of this space?” Hao Ren looked at Izaks.
Izaks knew that the other party was referring to the origin of the “space-time bubble zone”, so he smiled: “I said it before, Old Man actually predicted the existence of such a space when he was still alive. Although he never found a way to open this space until his death, he calculated that the entire space-time bubble zone is deformed and twisted into its current state under abnormal conditions, and this ‘twist’ has a center point, which is the ‘ghost space’ he predicted. He was an amazing guy… Bound to the earth by gravity, he calculated the secrets of the entire universe. It would be great if he was still alive… I could let him see your spaceship. That old boy would be so happy that he would jump up.”
Izaks said, smiling helplessly: “Destiny, tsk tsk.”
At this time, Gadamoth suddenly pushed the door open and reported to Izaks: “Your Majesty, General Ramondino and some of his confidants are missing.”
Izaks was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly: “I know.”
“Your Majesty, this is a rebellion,” Gadamoth said with a serious expression. “You…”
“I permitted it,” Izaks nodded. “Pass down the order that everyone is free to come and go—Gadamoth, you are also a demon, and you know that the nature of many demons is not so easy to change. There is no place for those people in the place we are going, so let them leave on their own.”
Then he grinned: “Actually, I knew that this would happen as early as when I first came back here. I can also guess what those old guys have been doing in the city for the past year to recuperate. If I had come back two years later, I’m afraid it would be a different scene here… As for now, it’s better for everyone if they leave honestly, so let them go.”
Gadamoth lowered his head, bowed, and retreated: “Yes, Your Majesty understands.”
Hao Ren saw that Izaks’ expression was a little dim, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the data terminal’s voice in his mind: “Hey, the space measurement is complete. This machine has bad news and even worse news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
