The Growth of a God
Chapter 794 - 2: Aladdin... Magic Ring?
Xu Hui’s final plan still fell through.
Because Li Hao didn’t even participate in the social event she organized, even his roommate found an excuse to refuse this social gathering.
"Is this some sort of inevitable coincidence?"
Li Hao, in the Divine Treasure Vault, murmured thoughtfully.
During the interlude of observing through the Vast Heaven Mirror, Li Hao noticed the glowing ring in Xu Hui’s hand.
The Ancient Arabic style and patterns, along with Xu Hui’s peculiar behavior, really made it hard for Li Hao not to associate it with the magic lamp.
In the story of Aladdin, besides the Genie that can grant any wish, there are actually two other magical items easily overlooked.
One is the flying carpet that allows Aladdin to soar through the sky.
The other is an all-purpose artifact that can also fulfill the owner’s wishes—the magic ring.
Compared to the magic lamp, the magic ring seems less omnipotent but still possesses the ability to Call Wind and Rain.
Li Hao now strongly suspects that the ring in Xu Hui’s hand is the magic ring from the story.
Only that magic ring could prevent Li Hao from noticing Xu Hui’s anomaly at first sight.
"How much more did that ’Reality Distorter’ leave on Earth?"
"Is there a god hidden within that ring too?"
With some curiosity, Li Hao is now eager to know who the ’Reality Distorter’ that created the magic lamp and the magic ring is, and what connection they have with Allah?
If Li Hao were an ordinary person, it would be challenging to uncover these things.
Unfortunately, Li Hao is not an ordinary person.
Thousands of kilometers away, another incarnation of Li Hao—Huo Dou—is the deputy director of the 749th Bureau.
......................................................
In Huo Dou’s private office at the 749th Bureau.
Ever since Wang Shu permanently stayed at the 749th Bureau, Luo God’s days haven’t been as carefree as before.
Considering Luo God’s inherently lazy nature, Wang Shu specifically assigned her to a reception position.
Only when Wang Shu is absent does Luo God have the chance to sneak into Huo Dou’s office for a lazy break, with her ears perked up the whole time, not daring to relax in the least.
She seemed afraid of being caught slacking by Wang Shu and then criticized for hours.
"If you’re really that afraid, then don’t slack off."
Getting up slowly from his office chair, Huo Dou looked somewhat helplessly at Luo God sitting opposite.
Clearly so afraid of Wang Shu, yet she never obediently listens to what Wang Shu says, even purposefully going against her.
Such contradicting behavior would only come from a child-like Luo God.
"I’m not afraid of her!"
"I’m just... I’m just..."
Quickly putting down her phone, Luo God climbed up, slightly flustered.
"Just what?"
"Just secretly hiding in my office, not even daring to focus while playing on your phone?"
Walking to Luo God, Huo Dou smiled and patted her head.
"I’m going to the data library to look up some information. Do you want to come along?"
Originally wanting to argue back, Luo God immediately perked up when she heard what he said.
"Of course! I’m your assistant!"
"What information are you looking for? I promise to complete the task!"
Looking at the excited Luo God, Huo Dou couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—kids are really easy to coax.
"Recent entry records of superpower users."
Hearing this, Luo God tilted her head slightly.
"Entry records? Do we handle that?"
It’s not that Luo God is ignorant; it’s just that the relevant information is indeed not handled by the 749th Bureau.
The entry records are managed by a branch of the General Administration of Customs, and the 749th Bureau only has assisting authority at most.
"Of course, we don’t handle that, but nothing stops me from looking for this information, right?"
When Huo Dou winked mischievously at Luo God, she instantly raised her eyebrows in understanding.
Based on normal logic, the 749th Bureau indeed has no right to check those superpower users’ entry records.
Even for the deputy director of the 749th Bureau, checking such information would absolutely be against the rules.
However, the question is, does Huo Dou play by normal logic?
In reality, Huo Dou doesn’t need any authorization; he just needs a computer that can connect to the data system database.
"Tsk tsk tsk, so you’re planning to do something bad again?"
Before He Bo came back, the two of them often did things beyond their authority.
Even though Luo God always seemed cautious, she never missed any of Huo Dou’s rule-breaking acts.
"Just tell me whether you’re coming or not!"
Rolling her eyes at Luo God, Huo Dou conveniently knocked her on the head again.
"Ah! Don’t hit my head!"
"I’m already clumsy, what if I become clumsier?"
Mumbling like this, Luo God swiftly put away her phone, ready to leave at any time.
"Don’t rush; get Ta Xuan to come along too."
Before Huo Dou’s words were out, Ta Xuan, who had been lying on the top of the bookshelf, jumped down directly.
As a cat that once bore the Power of the Throne Angels and still wears the Ring of the Throne Angels, its physical fitness far exceeds that of its kind.
Not to mention a bookshelf, even if it jumps from a two- or three-story height, it can land steadily.
"Are we using Ta Xuan’s ability again?"
Seeing this, Luo God immediately hugged the jumping Ta Xuan.
In the next second, Luo God buried her face deeply into Ta Xuan’s body.
Standing beside, Huo Dou clearly saw a trace of human-like helplessness and sigh on Ta Xuan’s face.
"Ta Xuan’s ability to bring good fortune can reduce our workload significantly."
As long as you take Ta Xuan when handling affairs, even if you do nothing, clues will land right in front of you.
It must be said that Ta Xuan’s ability to bring good fortune is truly extraordinary, even more so than Li Hao’s innate misfortune.
"Haha, Ta Xuan, we’re going on another field mission, aren’t you excited?"
Raising Ta Xuan high, Luo God spun around excitedly.
Just by looking at Ta Xuan’s human-like expression at this moment, it’s hard to say whether Luo God is coaxing Ta Xuan or vice versa,
"Let’s go!"
"Let’s get this mission done quickly before He Bo and the others return."
Gently pushing open the office door, Huo Dou headed towards the data room first.
Seeing this, Luo God, holding Ta Xuan, followed closely behind, full of cheerfulness.
Evidently, Wang Shu’s stay at the 749th Bureau had indeed repressed Luo God for quite some time.
