The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Panda Novel

The strange thing was that there were a lot of cameras in this town, and there were also many dummies on the streets. These dummies were sitting there lifelessly, in walking postures on the streets, or fixing their hair, eating, etc…

There was a water drainage system in the town. There were tall and short buildings…

If it wasn’t for these weird dummies, as long as people moved in, this place would be a small modern city.

In the distance, on a small hill, a group of people were traveling at high speed. There were researchers in white coats, as well as security personnel from the army. Further away, a line demarcated the cordoned off area. No one was allowed to enter, and there were people patrolling 24 hours a day to prevent anyone from entering.

At the top of the mountain, inside the temporary command center.

“General, everything is ready,” a man reported.

“Report it and await orders,” said the general.

The other party accepted the order and left…

“General, this will be the largest hydrogen bomb experiment in history. Once it succeeds, you will be recorded in history,” a woman said with a smile.

The general smiled and said, “That’s right, I hope everything goes well. The FBI hasn’t scrammed yet?”

The woman shook her head. “They won’t leave.”

The general frowned. “These bastards. This is my territory. If a monk were to sneak in, would I not know? Do I need them to help me in my territory?”

“Dear General, you have to know that you aren’t facing an ordinary monk. He’s a miraculous monk from China.” At that moment, a man in a black suit came in front of the general.

The general frowned. “I know, but I believe that my soldiers are more professional than your men. As long as I’m willing, not even a fly can fly into my test site!”

As they spoke, a fly flew past them calmly…

The man in the black suit shrugged his shoulders and said, “It seems like there are still some that you missed.”

The general blushed and said, “I permitted it flying clearance.”

The black-suiteed man said with a smile, “Alright, General. We aren’t here to steal your credit. We are only here to ensure that the experiment will not be messed up by that monk.”

The general pursed his lips and said, “That’s unnecessary!”

“General, the experiment is a go.”

“Then detonate it. It’s time to witness history!” the general said.

“All units, prepare! Countdown. 5! 4! …”

As they did the countdown, the general and the man in black looked up at the big screen. The big screen kept switching the surveillance images of the town. Just as the countdown reached three, the general said, “You can leave. There’s no monk here.”

Just as he finished his sentence, he saw a bald head walk past the camera…

“There’s someone!” The general was anxious.

The camera quickly moved to lock onto the figure—a bald monk dressed in white. Then, he did a V gesture at the camera as though he was taking a picture.

“This madman! Leave this place immediately!” The general turned anxious. Although the person was Asian, he was not a racist. On the contrary, he was very concerned about the monk’s survival.

However, everyone knew that it was too late to leave now.

“Oh my god, he’s indeed here! This is the monk we’ve been looking for, Fangzheng!” exclaimed the man in black.

“He’s Fangzheng? Are you sure?” asked the general.

The man in black nodded and said, “Affirmative. I’ve seen his photo and know some Chinese. Don’t you see the sign in his hand?”

Indeed, the darn baldy appeared as though he was afraid that no one would recognize him. He moved closer to the camera and raised a piece of paper up high. It wrote: Hello everyone, I’m Fangzheng.

The general frowned and said, “It might be a disguise. The words don’t count.”

The man in black said meaningfully, “There’s only one person in the world who can appear and disappear from a base without detection, yet remain so mischievous despite standing in the middle of a nuclear test site. He’s probably the only monk who’s so indecent.”

The general was speechless…

At the same time, the duo turned anxious. Fangzheng’s influence in the East was just too great. If he died in a nuclear explosion, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, it was all too late.

Before the two of them could abort the nuke, there was a loud boom as a ball of scorching white light shot into the sky. The image on the camera instantly disappeared!

The duo hurriedly wore their protective equipment and rushed out. Looking in the direction of the town, they saw a huge mushroom cloud soaring into the sky!

A terrifying shockwave instantly flattened the center of the city…

The scientists, who didn’t know that there was someone there, did the calculations rapidly. Finally, one cheered and said, “Success!”

The soldiers were cheering and shouting…

Only the general and the man in black had a solemn look on their faces. The nuclear explosion had killed a foreigner, an Asian, a Chinese—a magical monk!

If this matter got out, China would probably go crazy…

Even if they didn’t go crazy, they would still be accused of all sorts of crimes. The general, who was supposed to be recorded in the annals of history, suddenly realized that he was going to be cursed for millennia…

The man in black wasn’t in a better situation either. He was here to look for Fangzheng. He had brought so many people and so much equipment with him, but he still allowed Fangzheng to enter.

…

The two of them quietly reported to their superiors.

However, to their surprise, their superior seemed to be quite happy…

Following that, the two of them understood that it was best that Fangzheng, an existence that broke the balance of power in the world, disappeared. If not, the pressure on the various countries would be too great.

However, the duo did not feel relaxed, especially the man in black. He looked at the mushroom cloud that was still rising. He had a question in mind. Is the monk really dead? Would a person who can fight nature really die in a man-made nuclear explosion?

At the same time, at the Pentagon.

“That monk is dead. He tempted fate and entered the nuclear test site. No living creature can survive a nuke… He’s dead,” said a woman.

“Is the news reliable?”

“This is the latest video. It shows that Fangzheng had indeed entered the nuclear test site. I have to say, he’s dead.”

“It’s not a good thing to have people die, but this monk’s death is indeed a good piece of news. Alright, we have already shut up at the negotiation table for a few days. It’s time to rain hellfire on them. We have to take our share of the things that the monk left behind, or this matter will not be over!”

“For the benefit of mankind, we must get a share of it!”

…

Everyone happily decided…

When the American diplomat at the negotiation table received the news, he immediately jumped out. He puffed out his chest like an eagle that was on the brink of victory. He shouted, “Alright, I’m done resting. It’s time for me to say something.”
