Chapter 480: Coping With Shifting Events By Keeping the Status Quo

Jiang Baimian and the others used the codebook they had found on Garibaldi and his portable radio transceiver. They then reported that Garibaldi had been rescued but had long been exposed.

During this process, the Old Task Force tried to add the encounter of them being intercepted by Zennaga and brought back to the temple.

They were prepared for Zennaga to stop them, with no chance of succeeding. However, there was only silence outside.

There weren’t even any monks passing by.

“They aren’t worried at all…” Jiang Baimian heaved a sigh of relief.

She could roughly understand why Zennaga was so at ease. Even if the forces backing them received the news in time, in the face of such a huge organization like the Crystal Consciousness Church, formulating a plan, organizing manpower, making advanced preparations, and starting the rescue operation was unlikely to be completed in less than half a month.

And this was with the Crystal Consciousness Church not being wary.

Ten days later, the Old Task Force would be able to leave the temple named Sikhara openly.

“What do we do now?” Long Yuehong didn’t hide his worry.

Although Zennaga looked rather kind and benevolent, this didn’t mean that the other Crystal Consciousness Church monks were the same. After all, a large number of them were in the Subhuti domain. Just based on probability, there were definitely people with mental problems.

For some reason, the Old Task Force hadn’t hit their sore spots. This could be concluded from the difference between Jingfa and Jingnian.

Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm. “This is an opportunity!”

“Huh?” It wasn’t only Long Yuehong—even Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen were a little confused.

Shang Jianyao deliberately made his voice sound magnetic. “The more dangerous it is, the more one should take risks. This is the opportunity for me to accommodate myself and enter the Mind Corridor. When that happens, we will have the strength to put up a fight.”

So you were possessed by Wu Meng… Jiang Baimian criticized inwardly and deliberated before saying, “How confident are you?”

“Not at all,” Shang Jianyao replied very bluntly.

“…” Jiang Baimian slowly exhaled. “There’s no rush. From the looks of it, this matter hasn’t reached the point where we have to go all out. Master Zennaga should be able to suppress or stop the other monks. Otherwise, with his personality and philosophy, he wouldn’t have brought us to this temple to watch over us.”

“That’s true.” Long Yuehong nodded.

To be honest, if Zennaga hadn’t forced his team to be remanded in Sikhara temple for the purpose of watching over them with his unclear prophecy, he would’ve had a good impression of the monk.

At least from his attitude toward ordinary people, he was a real monk.

“But our plan has been interrupted…” Bai Chen didn’t seem to enjoy forced imprisonment. She had quite some hatred for Zennaga.

Jiang Baimian smiled. “What plan do we have? Wasn’t it just waiting for chaos to erupt in First City and then fish in troubled waters to find an opportunity to complete the mission? With our strength, can we really get involved? Those big shots can kill us with a single slap.”

The Old Task Force was very aware of this. They had never thought of taking the initiative to strike and tip First City’s balance. They were only taking advantage of any ensuing situation and some particular development.

“No, that’s not our plan,” Shang Jianyao said with a serious expression. “Since Master Zennaga said that we would bring chaos to First City, we must’ve made a mistake and remembered the wrong plan.”

Are you serious, or are you mocking Zennaga? Long Yuehong boldly muttered inwardly.

Jiang Baimian nodded. “That’s right. I’m also very curious about the Zen Master’s prophecy. It’s the same whether we’re here or outside. Could it be that his act of intercepting us and bringing us back to Sikhara temple to watch over us is the trigger that can trigger a series of changes?”

At this point, Jiang Baimian laughed. “Prophecies are always fulfilled in ways that the prophet cannot predict, is it not?”

Team Leader, you’re still trying to shake Zennaga’s beliefs… Long Yuehong saw through Jiang Baimian’s true goal.

Unfortunately, Zennaga’s voice didn’t sound in their minds.

Jiang Baimian could only stretch herself. “Let’s get some sleep and wait for something to happen. Right, send a telegram to Old Ge and tell him that First City’s situation is still relatively stable. As for us, we have been invited by Master Zennaga of the Crystal Consciousness Church to be guests at Sikhara temple for ten days.”
