I drew a talisman to save the sun from its bleeding state.

Chapter 105 Zhou Zheng: You can hit someone without thinking, but you must use your brain when doing

Xu Fan couldn't understand: "Then why not give it your all? Only by giving it your all can you make things change for the better!"

Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "To you, your sister is very important, so you are willing to sacrifice yourself to save her from this calamity. But for me, I must survive for a long time. I can only interfere and change the status quo to a limited extent. I cannot devote myself to it wholeheartedly, otherwise I will get burned and over-consume myself."

Xu Fan: "Brother Zhou, why aren't you angry? Don't you sympathize with these victims?"

Zhou Zheng: "Anger is useless; it's better to spend your time and energy on more important things."

Xu Fan stared at Zhou Zheng, who remained expressionless, and felt utterly bewildered. Could a person truly be human if they became like this? Was this enlightenment? Or the abandonment of humanity?

Xu Fan took a sip of water and put the glass down. "Brother Zhou, I've finished my report. I'm leaving now. My sister is waiting for me at home."

Zhou Zheng: "Go ahead. Wait, I recently drew some new talismans; take them and replace them."

Zhou Zheng stood up, took out a stack of newly drawn talismans from his storage ring, and handed them to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan silently looked at the talisman handed to him, then looked up at Zhou Zheng: "Brother, I really don't understand why you're not angry, nor do I understand why you can help me and my sister so selflessly."

Zhou Zheng: "What I see, you don't; the passion you have, I don't. You and I simply made different choices."

Xu Fan remained silent for a moment, then bowed deeply, accepted the talisman with both hands, bowed again in gratitude, and then turned to leave.

Before leaving, Xu Fan paused, opened his phone and sent all the documents and interrogation records to Zhou Zheng, then turned around, raised his phone to indicate this, and left.

Zhou Zheng sat down and sighed softly.

Xiaoxue reached out to take Zhou Zheng's phone, but Zhou Zheng stopped her, signaling her not to look.

Liu Zhen opened his palm, picked up Zhou Zheng's phone, and looked through it: "It's truly a terrible sight. Xu Fan really doesn't understand why you're so calm."

Zhou Zheng: "If something comes to me, I'll help if I can. But if it's something that's not in my sight and is beyond my control, I'll just watch and let it go."

If seeing these things would make me angry, I would have been driven to my death by countless tragedies long ago. In the end, all I can choose is to settle down, stop wasting my energy, and focus on doing the things in front of me well.

Liu Zhen: "Then would you blame him for not understanding you?"

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "Isn't it a good thing that he doesn't understand me? It would be the worst thing if he could understand why I made this choice."

Some people with many misfortunes will eventually end up like this. It's neither good nor bad, but only in this way can they protect themselves and face life.

Liu Zhen smiled, turned off the screen, and handed the phone back: "So what are you planning to do?"

Zhou Zheng: "Since things have come to this, let's eat first. After resting, we'll work overtime to figure out why there are so many members of the Nine Schools in the Wushuang Sect."

Liu Zhen looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You're very suited to be a leader. Even if the sky falls, you can remain calm and direct others on how to put out the fire."

Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes: "I don't know if you're praising or criticizing me, I just feel that this is something I can't rush, rushing will make me make mistakes."

Liu Zhen felt he had met a genius: "You may not be the best leader, but you are definitely the most troublesome guy in the eyes of the enemy."

Cautious, steady, down-to-earth, patient, persistent, highly talented, and strong...

Having this kind of teammate can be incredibly frustrating or infuriating, and they don't seem to have any significant role in everyday life. But if you consider them as an enemy, encountering this guy is absolutely disgusting.

Zhou Zheng: "Xuanfan, I'm only responsible for revealing the truth; the rest is up to you."

……

After dinner, Zhou Zheng sat in the living room, holding the list and began to reverse-engineer the birth charts, then proceeded to gather intelligence by following the birth charts, with Liu Zhen providing cover.

The first round of simulations didn't end until 11 p.m.

Zhou Zheng flexed his wrists and complained, "This manual labor is really strenuous."

Working backwards, calibrating information, working forwards, repeatedly verifying, meticulously analyzing details... it's pure hard labor.

[Divination (Level 3): Through extensive practice and a massive expansion of your knowledge base, you've gained a deeper understanding of truths. However, you genuinely have little interest in repetitive tasks unless absolutely necessary… From another perspective, you possess a greater insight into destiny than most, and you understand the true cost behind it all. Despite seeing more, you've become more cautious, losing the innocent courage of your youth. Perhaps your courage has become more profound? Or perhaps you've seen the price and have become less courageous.]

Zhou Zheng looked at the new skill description and was slightly taken aback.

Yes, since enlightenment, I have no longer been troubled by the confusion of the seven emotions and six desires, and have become more rational. However, this rationality is not devoid of emotion, but rather rationality with emotional warmth.

What may seem like a reckless choice is actually a determined struggle based on a clear understanding of one's own inevitability of victory, rather than a reckless act without any thought.

But is this good or bad, or simply a change?

Zhou Zheng remembered a divination, picked up a coin, but after thinking about it, he put the coin back down.

Liu Zhen noticed Zhou Zheng's emotional fluctuation: "What's wrong?"

Xiaoxue sat beside him, hugging a cushion, and asked curiously, "What's wrong, brother?"

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just tend to overthink things sometimes. Actually, most of the time it's better to just start doing it and see how it goes."

Liu Zhen retorted, "Let me be blunt, what are you so afraid of that you're being so cautious about? With your talent, your background, and your strength, you should be able to do whatever you want. And where did you get this habit of being so patient? Is your family poor? Why are you being so patient?"

Zhou Zheng retorted, "Yes, any trouble can be solved by simply revealing one's identity. But to truly resolve these troubles, do I have to personally investigate and resolve them one by one? Does constantly revealing one's identity really solve anything? You idiot!"

Revealing someone's identity might feel good in the moment, but then what? Those guys might change their ways out of fear of their identities, but what about afterwards? What about the truth? What about the rats and tigers underneath?

Liu Zhen: "...You truly have the potential to become an immortal."

Zhou Zheng pointed to the brain: "If taking action could completely solve the problem, then what's the point of having a brain? Only by using your brain can you change the actual operating structure and solve the problem at its root."

Just like in Heshan, where mining accidents and pneumoconiosis used to be frequent, the number of mining accidents and the incidence of pneumoconiosis have decreased significantly, and the lives of local people have gradually improved.

Was it because they killed everyone with lightning?

No, it's because the poverty alleviation and economic development work has been implemented effectively, the employment environment has been improved, and everyone is living a better life than before!

The reason why the Nine Schools can take root in so many fields is because there is fertile ground for their existence. Only by completely eradicating this fertile ground can the Nine Schools be completely wiped out.

Liu Zhen raised his hands: "Stop, stop, I admit it, you continue."

Zhou Zheng forcefully inputted the information, leaving him speechless and exasperated.

You're such a young man, yet you're so shrewd, so thoughtful, and so cautious. It's almost unbelievable.

Zhou Zheng snorted and began to diligently work on arranging the table: "Let me see where I should start intervening so things will go more smoothly."

Liu Zhen chuckled: "I'm truly impressed. It was clearly a one-sided game, but you managed to analyze the entire situation for the opponent."

Zhou Zheng: "Mind your own business, this is just my habit."
