He Ao made no move, but coughed slightly, and a little blood oozed from the wound.
Boom-boom-boom-
A loud noise came from outside the metal door. It was a violent guy with many tentacles who was "knocking on the door."
The person behind him didn't speak, but stopped when he was still a certain distance away from He Ao. The strong stiffness, with a hint of exhaustion, began to impact He Ao's consciousness.
He Ao feels like he is gradually losing control of his body.
He turned around with difficulty and looked behind him. What caught his eye was a man dressed in pure black with a face as sharp as a knife.
He Ao naturally knows this person. The other person is "Gravedigger" who bumped into Orator on the ship.
The tombkeeper looked at He Ao with cold eyes. In his hand, he held a crystal ball about ten centimeters in diameter with dark purple mist floating inside.
Giant Wolf, with two brown hairs on both heads and a body length of two meters, stood quietly behind Gravedigger.
This Giant Wolf He Ao had seen it on the way here. It was a D-class gregarious creature. Under the leadership of "Liu Nan", he bypassed the habitat of these wolves.
At this moment, the two wolves following Gravedigger had lost their vitality and looked like corpses that had been manipulated by someone.
This "Gravedigger" may have some ability to control corpses, just like those Big Octopus.
Judging from the previous experience of fighting Giant Lizard, these dead "Giant Wolf" may not be weaker than when they were alive, and may even be more difficult to fight because they are not afraid of pain.
Being able to easily control both D-class Giant Wolf, the "Gravedigger" in front of him naturally cannot be an ordinary "E-class" Special Appointed Researcher.
He Ao Feeling that his body was getting stiffer, he turned around with difficulty and leaned his back against the wall, relying on the cold metal wall to support his body.
He looked at the man in front of him and said, "Let me guess who you are."
He paused and looked at the man's face with a smile, "Dawn?"
The moment he uttered these two words, the man's face changed slightly.
It seems I guessed it right.
He Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess this. Dawn had kidnapped Liu Nan before.
Although the kidnapping of Liu Nan looks like an ordinary kidnapping, it becomes clear when Liu Nan's father, Liu Zhengyun, happens to be the discoverer of Ruins, and he holds the entry quota for Ruins.
Dawn actually wants to hijack Liu Nan so that Liu Zhengyun can provide them with a quota to enter Ruins.
This matter was finally declared a failure due to He Ao's participation, and Dawn completely offended Liu Zhengyun. Naturally, there was no way to get a quota from Liu Zhengyun.
Then they can only find solutions elsewhere.
It is naturally difficult for formal researchers with a strict organization to sneak in, but it is not difficult to sneak into the loosely managed Special Appointed Researcher. Moreover, this Gravedigger probably did not become a member of Special Appointed Researcher recently, but is probably a secret of Dawn.
However, going through the Research Institute channel is much more troublesome than going through the Liu Zhengyun channel. Everything brought out from Ruins needs to be inspected by Research Institute.
Therefore, Dawn is mostly prepared with both hands. If Liu Nan is successfully kidnapped, he will take the Liu Zhengyun route. If Dawn is not successfully kidnapped, he will take the special hire Research Institute.
To sum up, Dawn is naturally the most likely organization behind the scenes.
But these clues are limited to He Ao's knowledge, and he can only guess.
Obviously, judging from the performance of "Gravedigger", there is nothing wrong with his guess.
At this moment, He Ao and "Gravedigger" are in a fragile balance. He Ao is seriously injured and cannot move easily. Gravedigger is afraid of He Ao's combat effectiveness in fighting those tentacles, and has always kept a distance, trying to control He Ao with some ability.
Gu Zhe
After He Ao revealed his identity, although Gravedigger's expression changed slightly, he did not speak, but accelerated his actions to control He Ao.
He Ao felt that the stiffness was getting stronger and stronger, and his legs had begun to lose feeling, and the purple smoke in the Crystal Ball in the hand of "Gravedigger" began to flicker rapidly.
Does it rely on the external force of Crystal Ball?
Through "Gravedigger"'s alert expression and the movements of his hands, He Ao probably had an idea of Gravedigger's strength.
"Your plan is perfect," he looked at Gravedigger and chuckled, "But guess, why am I here?"
Gravedigger stopped moving his hand and looked at He Ao with some surprise.
Their plan is top secret, and only a few people in the entire Dawn Organization know about it, and there is no record of this tower in Research Institute's information, let alone Central Control Room. In this era of Ruins information being sparse, the existence of this tower itself is a secret.
He Ao's words disrupted all his thoughts.
Was it Research Institute who discovered this tower? Or is there a traitor within the organization?
Since Dawn can insert a nail in Research Institute, then Research Institute can also insert a nail in Dawn.
Well, is it possible that I am not the only traitor within the organization?
This possibility is extremely low, but it is not impossible.
His emotional confusion only lasted for a moment, and he quickly calmed down. At this moment, he was at an advantage and He Ao was at a disadvantage. As long as he stabilized himself and completely controlled He Ao and killed this guy, it didn't matter how the other party came.
Even if there is a traitor, there will naturally be people within the organization to investigate.
However, the moment he figured it out, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his chest.
The pure white Bone Sword pierced his heart, and splashed out with a trace of Purple Radiance blood, sprinkling on the blood-stained and dirt-stained cheeks of the young man directly opposite.
"You're distracted."
He Ao slowly pulled the sword out of "Gravedigger"'s chest.
The bright red blood surged like a fountain.
On such a battlefield, the slightest distraction can be the difference between life and death.
He Ao closed Hyper-memory. At this moment, his Dantian was empty, and the last half of his energy was exhausted. In the blow just now, he used all his strength, broke through those rigid controls in an instant, and suddenly struck out.
This is martial arts, life and death are only in one sword.
After "Gravedigger" fell, the two ferocious Giant Wolf also fell slowly. They didn't even make any action, and the battle was over.
Gravedigger's strength should be at the peak of D level, not C level.
When it was confirmed that Gravedigger was dead, He Ao staggered to his knees and gasped for air.
This battle is really endless.
He panted for a while, and then sat weakly on his knees. He maintained this position for a long time.
No one took the opportunity to attack him.
Just after a fierce battle, he showed extreme weakness. This kind of time is usually the best time to make a sneak attack. If no one makes a sneak attack at this time, then there should be no one else.
He Ao turned on Hyper-memory again, glanced around to make sure there was no one else, then slowly stretched out his hand and pulled out Crystal Ball from Gravedigger's hand.
Gravedigger is only D-level, but this Crystal Ball should be a C-level Transcendent Item.
