When I returned to our quarters, Xie Yi came over and asked what had happened.
I told him about R9's attitude. Xie Yi frowned after hearing it. "Looks like we need to teach him a lesson."
I knew he meant doing something to R9 and his base.
I smiled. "Not yet. This isn't the right time to tear things apart."
Xie Yi looked up at me. "What, do you have another move planned?"
So I repeated what I had told Yan Rou. When Xie Yi heard that another twenty thousand of them would be coming to our world, his eyes widened as well. If all twenty thousand emerged together and we dispatched enough people to surround and eliminate them, we could definitely wipe them all out.
But what if they infiltrated separately? If those twenty thousand people spread out as individuals and infiltrated every corner of Great Xia, then even if we were prepared, there would be no way to catch them all in one sweep. We would be lucky to capture even a small fraction of them.
Their infiltration was no ordinary infiltration. I had asked Yan Rou about it. Normally, they would alter the police household registration system to create a "real" identity. But whenever that posed a risk, they would target ordinary people, kill them, and assume their identities.
Because they possessed the ability to transform, though the transformation was only partial and mainly altered their appearance.
They might not be able to look exactly like the person they replaced, but they could achieve a ninety percent resemblance. In Yan Rou's words, even those closest to the victim would never notice unless they paid close attention.
That was quite a formidable method.
"So, Old Xie, we'd better not make a move against their base lightly right now.
