Twin Birth

Zheng Yuandong once told Lu Yuan that if the person behind the scenes still didn't want to give up on Liu Dezhu, "they" would definitely come tonight.

That's why, when the assassin who had been watching the Xiao Ying died, Lu Yuan specifically instructed that his spleen be checked.

He was a little disappointed when he realized that the assassin only had one wound on his forehead, but he didn't expect Qing Chen to appear so quickly.

However, Lu Yuan had some doubts. Was this ally who killed people with playing cards the same person as Qing Chen?

Has Qing Chen mastered a new ability, or is it someone else?

Of the five killer bodies discovered, two had gunshot wounds, two had their throats slit, and one died from a ruptured spleen.

Qing Chen's presence is certain, but are there any other people present?

Unable to determine.

If Qing Chen was the one who killed them all, then they must re-examine this young man and overturn many of their previous conclusions!

It's important to understand that this was a one-against-many battle, face-to-face, completely different from the time at Laojun Mountain where they were defeated one by one.

The gourd beside him asked, "Team Leader Lu, what's next? It seems this kid's planning to go it alone. We can't let him ruin our plans!"

"It's alright," Lu Yuan shook his head, "We've been setting up for so long, just waiting for these rats to take the bait. Since they dared to come in tonight, they won't be leaving. You're ready to take over command at any time. I'm going out."

"Huh?" Hulu was taken aback. "Team Leader Lu, can I command?"

"What's wrong with that? You made all the plans yourself," Lu Yuan said over the communication channel. "Don't act rashly after dealing with these assassins. Their plans for tonight go far beyond this."

After saying that, he turned and walked downstairs.

"Hey, where are you going?" Hulu asked from the side.

"Of course we'll go down and keep an eye on things. We can't let anything happen to Liu Dezhu," Lu Yuan said.

"But their superhumans haven't made a move yet," the gourd said. "What if you rush out like this and they outmaneuver you?"

Lu Yuan casually waved his hand. "When have the people of Kunlun ever been afraid of danger?"

The fire truck had already arrived at the scene, but because a private car was blocking the way, the fire truck with its siren on was blocked outside the gate.

Some people tried to look inside the car through the windows, only to find that each car had a strange tint, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Firefighters frantically checked each vehicle's license plate and called the owners to move their cars, but the thick smoke inside was still spreading and they couldn't do anything about it for the time being.

In Xinglong Residential Area, it was pouring rain.

Liu Dezhu carried his mother on his back and prepared to walk out.

Someone whispered beside him, "I'm from Kunlun, Bing Tang. Stay here and we can protect you. Don't stray from our protective perimeter."

Liu Dezhu was somewhat anxious. "My mom fell down the stairs and broke her leg. Now she's suddenly unconscious. I have to get her to the hospital right away! Don't worry, I won't go far; there's a hospital just 300 meters away!"

Bing Tang paused for a moment and looked at Wang Shufen, who had just been fully conscious but was now unconscious.

It seems that Liu Dezhu's mother not only injured her leg, but also bumped into other parts of her body.

Bing Tang leaned forward to examine him briefly, then quickly said into the communication channel, "Team Leader Lu, Sparrow's mother is injured. She has a head injury on the right side and may have bumped into the steps. She insists on leaving now. What should we do?"

Upon hearing this assessment, Liu Dezhu's eyes turned red, and he immediately rushed outside.

Liu Youcai followed closely behind.

Rainwater poured down from the sky, and Liu Dezhu's bangs were plastered to his forehead, making him look extremely disheveled.

He knew that rushing out might be dangerous, but this was no time to worry about his own safety.

Just now, when he carried his mother downstairs, he saw the needle marks on her forearm, which were clearly left from the blood draw that morning!

Liu Dezhu roared, "Nobody stop me!"

Bing Tang hesitated for a moment, then said into the communication channel, "Team Leader Lu, Sparrow has left!"

"You take the two closest people and protect him. I'm heading over there." Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hulu, you take over command. I'll personally escort him to the hospital!"

Kunlun had been setting up a trap in Xinglong Community for a long time, intending to wipe out all those evil spirits in one fell swoop.

After all, some gray rats have been hiding in the shadows ever since the time travel incident, and they just can't be eradicated. Now that the Wang Family has spent a fortune to lure them out, it's a perfect opportunity.

Wang Shufen's injury was truly an accident. After all, no assassin has been able to get close to Liu Dezhu so far. If that middle-aged man hadn't panicked and acted recklessly, everything would be fine now.

Over the communication channel, someone said, "Team Leader Lu, let Sparrow leave now. The assassin will follow him, and our plan won't be as meticulous."

Lu Yuan sighed, "Our mission is to protect these ordinary people. Don't forget our original intention just because we regret the plan. Hulu, seal off the entire Xinglong residential area. Don't let a single one escape."

Not long after he finished speaking, more than a dozen combat teams rushed out from the hidden stairwells and began to seal off Xinglong Community.

The residents who were taking refuge from the fire were stunned by what they saw. No one had ever noticed that so many people were hiding in the apartment building before!

Kunlun has kept this secret until today in order to feign weakness and eliminate all the demons and monsters that are usually impossible to find.

Tonight, no matter who tries to disrupt the plan, these assassins won't escape!

The next moment, as soon as Liu Dezhu moved, seven other people in the refugee crowd followed suit.

They trailed slowly behind, seemingly waiting for something.

Bing Tang, who was trailing behind Liu Dezhu, urgently called out in the communication channel, "Team Leader Lu, the seven assassins hiding in the crowd have shown themselves, and they are about to make their move."

"Where are our men?!" Lu Yuan roared.

"They're right behind them!" Bing Tang said. "Liu Dezhu is running too fast. That kid's gene serum enhances his lower body strength!"

"Damn it!" Lu Yuan roared again, bursting forth as he pushed through the crowd and through the rainy night, heading straight for the assassins trailing behind Liu Dezhu.

He pulled out a pistol from under his arm and fired two shots. The two bullets, more than fifty meters apart, hit the assassins in the back of the head with great accuracy, causing the other assassins to scramble to avoid him and no longer dare to recklessly pursue Liu Dezhu.

But before one wave subsided, another arose!

Just as the firefighters at the entrance were dialing 114 to check the car owners' numbers, the doors of the seven illegally parked vehicles in the long row suddenly opened.

It turned out they had been in the car the whole time and showed no intention of moving it, heading straight towards Liu Dezhu!

Seven assassins, dressed in black raincoats, walked slowly, creating an invisible net, each hiding their hands under their raincoats.

Rainwater washed over them, and they trudged through the puddles, each step more steady than the last.

Even from hundreds of meters away, Liu Dezhu could feel a palpable sense of oppression and murderous intent.

He stopped slowly as he saw this scene. Liu Youcai stood in front of him and said, "Son, are these people here to kill you? Turn around and run. Don't worry, your mother won't blame you."

"Dad," Liu Dezhu, soaked to the bone by the cold rain, said with trembling lips, looking at the person still approaching, "I have a cell phone-like communicator in my pocket. Send a message and ask if it's possible to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Youcai had already pulled out his communicator. "Son, there's a message on it."

"What does the message say?" Liu Dezhu asked anxiously.

"Say, don't be afraid, keep moving forward."

Liu Dezhu suddenly looked around. What did that mean? Was the boss nearby, or had the boss's men already arrived?!

But he saw nothing.

At this moment, Liu Dezhu turned to look at Liu Youcai: "Dad, do you believe me?"

Liu Youcai frowned. "Son, hand your mother over to me now, and you run away!"

Liu Dezhu shouted, "Dad, trust me, keep going! I don't think I'll die today! And Mom can't be hurt either!"

As he spoke, he actually moved forward again.

Lu Yuan this, Lu Yuan cursed under his breath, then hurriedly said into the comms channel, "Plan B! Activate Plan B! Where are my snipers?! Forget about that superhuman, just shoot them... Wait, don't fire!"

Just as the seven "car owners" in raincoats were about to surround Liu Dezhu, two more assassins in black raincoats suddenly appeared from the shadows behind the "car owners" like ghosts, as if they had been waiting there all along.

But these two assassins weren't after Liu Dezhu; instead, they charged at the uninvited guests from behind with murderous intent!

The two walked quickly and hurriedly, and with each step they took into the deep puddles, the water would spread out to the sides.

Before the water could recede again, my footsteps had already left the puddle.

In the pouring rain, Qing Chen's black raincoat suddenly flipped up, and a playing card shot out from under the raincoat. On the white card, the Black Spade A looked like a black knife, piercing through layers of rain.

The astonishing playing card, in mid-air, cleaved raindrops in two, tearing a white line through the rain curtain, and precisely pierced the assassin's heart through the gap in his ribs.

The assassin was knocked forward by the playing card and never got up again.

Lu Yuan was shocked. He had seen playing cards that could cut through soda cans, but he had never seen such vicious playing cards that could pierce through a human body!

Another person, hidden under the raincoat, pulled the trigger repeatedly. Nine bullets pierced the black raincoat, creating huge holes, and then the three assassins were killed in a hail of bullets.

Seven assassins, and in the blink of an eye, only three remained.

The two figures advanced in perfect unison, their movements almost identical, and their attacks as powerful as thunder. Only at this moment did the assassins realize that there was an ambush behind them!

The mantis stalks the cicada.

The oriole is unaware of the mantis behind!

When the three assassins saw their companion's body fall, they turned around abruptly, their raincoats swishing around like umbrellas, splashing water everywhere.

However, at this moment, Qing Chen and the controlled Xu Yicheng had already arrived in front of them.

It's like turning around suddenly in a haunted house and seeing a ghostly face right in front of you!

The attack was so unexpected that it didn't give those uninvited guests a chance to fire from a distance!

"Fire!" the three assassins roared through gritted teeth.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies clashed!

Qing Chen had already flashed to the side of one of the assassins, placing himself in the blind spot of the other two.

But then he saw him press down on the assassin's hand as he tried to draw his gun. The assassin was shocked to find that the newcomer was incredibly strong, so strong that his hand holding the gun felt like it was about to be crushed.

The so-called extraordinary people are those who are beyond the ordinary; their strength and speed are far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

Suddenly, Qing Chen pulled out a playing card from under his raincoat with his other hand. His slender fingers held the card between them and swept it past the assassin's side. The sharp edge of the card was like a blade, slicing through half of the assassin's neck.

It seemed that his true energy was about to be exhausted, or perhaps the playing card had cut too deep into his flesh and bones, so much so that the card was stuck between his flesh and bones.

But the boy's expression remained unchanged. He breathed heavily in the rainy night, twisting his waist and lowering his knees in one smooth motion.

He silently watched the puddles and raindrops on the ground, then suddenly pulled his arm with all his might and yanked the playing card away. Blood, even more torrential than the rain, splashed onto the ground at the angle the card was tilted.

Not far away, gunfire erupted from under a raincoat. Qing Chen crouched low, hiding behind a corpse as he charged forward.

The killers' bullets ripped through the flesh of the corpses, causing them to fall into the ankle-deep rain and splash.

However, it is simply impossible for a silenced subsonic bullet to penetrate a human body!

The distance between them closed in an instant. Qing Chen pulled out a pistol from the corpse's waist, using the corpse as a shield and the rain as a curtain, and continuously pulled the trigger.

On the other side, Xu Yicheng, who was under control, took advantage of the moment when Qing Chen attracted all the firepower, discarded his gun which had run out of bullets, and pulled out a dagger from the outside of his thigh!

But then he appeared behind the assassin, moving strangely like a puppet.

The assassin, with a ferocious expression, suddenly turned around. He held a dagger in one hand, and with the other hand, he grabbed Xu Yicheng's wrist before Xu Yicheng could react!

But the assassin was shocked the next moment. He felt that Xu Yicheng's arm was not human. He had clearly grabbed the other's wrist, but the other's elbow could twist strangely.

The range of motion of human joints is limited, but Xu Yicheng's range of motion seems infinite, like a living puppet!

In an instant, Xu Yicheng twisted his elbow and forcefully broke free from the assassin's grip. Taking advantage of the opponent's moment of shock and fear, he plunged the dagger diagonally upwards into the opponent's spleen!

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, Lu Yuan that familiar murderous fetish: It really was Qing Chen, who always targeted the spleen!

In an instant, he recalled what Xiao Ying had said: The friendly forces that killed people stole the assassin's raincoat!

Lu Yuan wondered, if it was Qing Chen who pierced the spleen, then who was the other person?

He breathed a sigh of relief. Kunlun knew that a superhuman would appear tonight to kill Liu Dezhu, so he had been hiding snipers in the shadows.

As long as that superhuman doesn't advance to B-Class, the sniper rifle will definitely kill him with a single shot!

In fact, even superhumans are not invincible, and even S-class beings are not absolutely invincible!

If Qing Chen and the other person don't appear, the sniper hiding on the high ground will still keep Liu Dezhu safe.

But since the opposing superhuman has not yet shown up, it would be best for the sniper to continue hiding.

Lu Yuan did not want those lawless individuals to become familiar with Kunlun's fighting rhythm in advance.

This is the best possible outcome. The enemy's superhumans haven't appeared yet, but Kunlun still has some trump cards up its sleeve!

When the lightning stopped, the ground returned to darkness.

Rainwater and stagnant water fluctuated continuously.

Qing Chen and Xu Yicheng stood quietly in the rain, with seven corpses beside them!

The two looked at Liu Dezhu through the rain.

"The boss told us to help you break through. Hurry up and we'll escort you the rest of the way," a strange voice said from under the raincoat.

Another unfamiliar voice said, "Even if the sky falls today, we will make sure you get your mother to the hospital. The boss said so, and no one can stop him."

Liu Dezhu was stunned in the rain, and a look of emotion suddenly appeared on his face.

For some reason, a kind of thrilling gratitude surged within him, like magma erupting and surging from the seabed.

In fact, Liu Dezhu and Qing Chen have only ever been partners; neither is the other's slave.

It's not some feudal society anymore; the system of lords and retainers is long gone.

Therefore, Liu Dezhu had his own little schemes and plans, and even fantasized about when the serfs would be liberated and sing songs of triumph.

But at this moment, Liu Dezhu suddenly felt that it might not be bad to continue following such a boss.

"Thank you," Liu Dezhu said, his face wet with a mixture of tears and rain. He carried his mother on his back and ran outside with Liu Youcai.

When he ran past the two men to see their faces clearly, he found that they both had their heads down, and he couldn't see anything in the shadows under their hats.

But just then, a voice came from somewhere. "Who said you could leave?"

The next moment, the rainwater on the ground began to churn, and all the accumulated water rushed towards the door, instantly turning into a huge wave that crashed back towards Liu Dezhu!

The ground suddenly dried up, and the superhuman hiding in the shadows quickly pumped all the water from other places into the giant wave!

Qing Chen watched silently, realizing that this was the power of an extraordinary being!

At the critical moment, Liu Dezhu looked at the giant waves and felt despair. For a moment, a flame-like red surged in the depths of his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

It seemed as if some shackles were about to be broken, yet this world had never allowed such shackles to be broken.

And so the fire in Liu Dezhu's eyes was extinguished once again.

Just as he thought he was about to die, a voice came from the sky. "They can go now, I said."

Everyone looked up suddenly and saw a figure rapidly falling from the sky.

The force of its descent, like a thunderbolt, carried immense pressure!

With a loud crash, Yang Yang descended from the sky, crouching down and stepping onto the giant wave, actually suppressing it into a lake!

The lost girl heading north finally realized she was lost again when she flew to Mount Beiman.

After rushing and asking for directions for ages, we finally arrived at the battlefield!

Without saying much, she suddenly ran eastward.

In an instant, the rain that was falling within a radius of tens of meters around Yang Yang suddenly stopped!

The clear raindrops hovered in the air, neither falling nor going up. Qing Chen turned around and looked around. The raindrops seemed to have been paused.

Force field.

A powerful force field!

But then Yang Yang punched a spot of rainwater, and the rainwater hovering beside her was inexplicably arranged into two converging coils by gravity.

In the blink of an eye.

Where her fist landed, a person was punched out of the rain!

The superhuman had been relying on his abilities to hide secretly in the rain, and no one had ever noticed him.

But Yang Yang is different. She can control all the changes in the force field around her. Even with her eyes closed, she can tell where there are people and where there are no people!

Suddenly, the superhuman was slammed into the air.

Just as he was about to fall, the superhuman twisted his waist to try and steady himself.

But he suddenly realized that his falling speed had slowed down, just like when an iron ball falls from the sky and suddenly turns into a feather!

No, it wasn't that the iron ball turned into a feather on its own, but rather that the force field in the environment changed!

"Rise!" Yang Yang landed a fierce and unparalleled uppercut on the superhuman's abdomen.

But then the superhuman's body curled up like a shrimp, and suddenly his entire body flew dozens of meters into the air.

Just as he was about to reach the summit and begin to fall, the inexplicable buoyancy disappeared again!

Buoyancy that vanishes into thin air is like gravity that appears out of nowhere, coming and going without a trace, pulling and tugging at will!

Everyone present watched this scene in astonishment, feeling as if the "fundamental forces" of the world were being tampered with.

The superhuman plummeted straight to the ground, trying to use the rain to catch himself, otherwise even a C-level superhuman would die from falling from tens of meters in the air!

However, during the fall, this superhuman clearly felt that an invisible force field was vying with him for control of the rain. His ability to do whatever he wanted was now powerless.

With a loud thud, the superhuman crashed to the ground, coughing up another mouthful of blood, his head lolling to the side, his fate unknown.

Only then did Yang Yang look around. "Huh? Where is everyone?"

She tried to find Qing Chen, but he had taken advantage of a lull in the battle between the superhumans to escort Liu Dezhu away.

Yang Yang seemed a little angry. "How am I supposed to get home if you leave! Honestly!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan had also dealt with all the assassins. He rushed over and looked at Yang Yang: "Um, girl, who are you?"

Yang Yang tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm also one of Liu Dezhu's men!"

After saying that, Yang Yang flew into the sky again, just as abruptly as she had arrived.

Lu Yuan looked up as the other person disappeared into the night sky. "???"

This one sentence alone stirred up a huge storm in Lu Yuan's heart!

Judging from how the girl attacked just now, she completely crushed that superhuman, leaving him hanging in the air and pounding him without any chance to fight back!

In an instant, the difference between the two sides was immediately apparent, like the difference between a cloud and mud.

Based on Lu Yuan's estimation, this girl is at least a B-Class!

Such an extraordinary person is actually Liu Dezhu's subordinate? Are you kidding me!

What, is it fashionable to be Liu Dezhu's subordinate now?!

Lu Yuan knew, of course, that Liu Dezhu was not the mastermind behind the scenes, and that there was a mastermind behind him, the real big shot, still hiding in the shadows.

But until tonight, he always felt that this "group" with Liu Dezhu as its pawn was just a small group.

At most, it's just Liu Dezhu, Qing Chen, and the people behind the scenes.

So if there are only three people, they can only be considered a "group" at most, not even an organization.

Fortunately, this is a relatively positive group that has been doing good deeds; otherwise, it would just be called a gang.

However, Lu Yuan now feels that they should re-evaluate this group.

After all, this group is no longer just Qing Chen and Liu Dezhu; it also includes a superhuman who is skilled at killing with playing cards, and the fierce and incomparable girl in front of them!

There are two of them who are extraordinary!

One of them is even B-Class!

Moreover, the person behind the scenes hasn't shown up yet. Who knows how strong they are? They must be stronger than their subordinates, right?

If the person behind this is also B-Class, then this group would have two B-Class superhumans!

Lu Yuan looked at Yang Yang suspiciously. Could this girl be the person behind it all? Probably not.

The person behind it all is incredibly clever, you can't find them even if you try. This girl looks a bit simple-minded, how could she possibly be the one behind it all?

"Could it be the one who used the playing cards?" Lu Yuan pondered the identity of the person behind the scenes. This matter was probably something the boss had to figure out.

Unbeknownst to him, with the contrast of two extraordinary individuals, Qing Chen, an ordinary person, lost much of his luster and became less eye-catching.

But this group suddenly attracted attention.

Actually, Qing Chen hadn't planned to make a move in public, but seeing Liu Dezhu's appearance from the shadows, he somehow felt the urge to help him.

He was unaware that there were snipers lurking in the shadows; even without his intervention, Kunlun could have easily taken care of the assassins.

However, tonight was a success no matter what.

Qing Chen successfully diverted everyone's attention from himself by using Puppet Master.

He and Xu Yicheng play two roles.

After taking control of Xu Yicheng, Qing Chen specifically ordered this Puppet Master to stab people's spleens.

Apart from the old guys in Forbidden Zone No. 002, apart from Li Shutong, and apart from Ding Dong, no one else knew that he possessed the Forbidden Item ACE-019 Puppet Master. In the rainy night, no one could see the string between him and Xu Yicheng.

Therefore, everyone regarded Xu Yicheng as him, while he himself played the role of another unknown superhuman.

In this way, although "Qing Chen" kills people swiftly and decisively, he is still just an ordinary person who is not worth being wary of.

What warrants caution is the other, unknown superhuman.

No one knew who this unknown superhuman was, nor did anyone associate him with the knight.

In this battle, Qing Chen did not use fallen leaves as weapons, precisely to avoid being associated with the Autumn Leaf Blade.

Many people in this world use playing cards, but only knights are qualified to use fallen leaves. After all, playing cards are at least relatively durable, while fallen leaves break at the slightest touch.

Qing Chen suddenly realized that the Knight True Qi was indeed very useful. With the True Qi infused into the playing cards, cutting through the enemy's body was as easy as cutting tofu.

The only drawback is that he still has too little internal energy, and it will run out after a while.

Of course, this is not a drawback of true qi, but rather his own.

For Qing Chen, tonight's battle is significant because it adds another layer of protection for himself.

The outside world is so dangerous, how can one or two layers of firewalls be enough? Of course, we should find an opportunity to upgrade the firewall version.

Another gain might be that it completely won over Liu Dezhu.

At this moment, Qing Chen and Xu Yicheng had already delivered Liu Dezhu to the hospital entrance.

Xu Yicheng said, "Go inside quickly, your mother's injuries are the most important thing. The boss told me to tell you that everything should wait until your mother's injuries have improved before discussing anything else."

"Thank you, thank you! Please tell the boss that my life belongs to him from now on!" Liu Dezhu, then carried his mother inside, shouting, "Doctor! Where's the doctor? My mother hit her head! Please help her!"

Seeing that Liu Dezhu had arrived at the hospital safely, and with more Kunlun members arriving from behind, the two people wearing raincoats walked back into the darkness.

Liu Youcai hurriedly asked, "You two... heroes! Where are you headed?"

Xu Yicheng turned around and said, "Tonight's business is not over yet."

Yes, it's not over yet, because tonight's move wasn't just made by the group that wanted to kill Liu Dezhu.

Qing Chen led Xu Yicheng on a long detour to the west gate of Xinglong Community. He ripped off Xu Yicheng's raincoat, untied the transparent thread from Xu Yicheng's hands, and then used a playing card to smear Xu Yicheng's neck.

Only at this moment did the Puppet Master truly die.

Qing Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. He picked up his raincoat and got up, intending to find a place to destroy it.

Xu Yicheng's raincoat cannot be left behind, because he just controlled the other party to fire through the raincoat, and the bullet holes left on it will be recognized. This thing has to be burned far away.

Remembering a clue he had found earlier, Qing Chen got up and ran towards a small path to the north.

In a dark street.

A group of six people were hiding in the alley, waiting for something. They were wearing raincoats and silently leaning against the wall next to them.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the alley, and everyone's expressions tightened, and they all stood up straight.

A man appeared at the alley entrance and said, "Kunlun has already started fighting those assassins. If we want to steal information, now is the time."

Someone glanced at their phone and sent a message: "Kunlun is confirmed to be unable to concentrate. May I proceed with the mission?"

An unknown number replied, "Execute."

The six people filed out of the alley, met up with the people at the alley entrance, and headed in the planned direction.

The downpour gradually subsided, and someone on the road whispered, "What information exactly does the Li family want us to steal?"

"I don't know, just keep stealing."

Do you think the Li family will keep their promise after the mission is completed?

"At least it makes us stronger," someone responded. "The stronger we are, the greater their influence on the Outer World."

"Is what we're doing really appropriate? Could it harm others? I suspect that what the Li family asked us to steal is household registration information. If this falls into the hands of the Inner World Consortium, I'm afraid many Time Walker will suffer."

"So many Time Walker have latched onto powerful figures, and we've only gotten on the Li family's ship. Do you really think people like Liu Dezhu Jiu Ran Yunfan are exceptionally talented? They just got a good reincarnation in the Inner World."

At this moment, Li had not yet completed the training and brainwashing of these Time Walker, so he did not reveal everything about them.

Their task was simply to connect a small device to a computer in the administrative hall of a police station, nothing more.

Of the more than 300 people who were controlled, not all of them were cooperative; most were unwilling to become spies in the Inner World.

The seven people currently in the picture are actively seeking cooperation.

"After we complete the mission, will the Li family discard us like dirt?" someone asked.

One of them said impatiently, "Every time we travel back in time, our lives are in the hands of the Li family. You ask me if they'll discard us after we've served our purpose? Even if you don't cooperate, you think you'll be spared?"

"Our lives and fortunes are entirely in the hands of others. The Li family is the butcher, and we are the fish on the chopping block. We have no other choice."

At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "What are everyone's identities in the Inner World? The Li family won't isolate everyone forever; there will definitely be centralized training again in the future. When that happens, those of us who have carried out missions together can stick together for mutual support."

The person at the front turned around and said coldly, "Don't ask others about their identities in the Outer World, and don't Outer World your own. That way, if someone gets caught, they won't immediately implicate you, understand? Or perhaps you have ulterior motives for asking this question?"

"Fine, I won't ask anymore," the man said, reluctantly shutting up.

The group of seven arrived at the entrance of the administrative hall of Lichun Road Police Station. It was called an administrative hall, but it was just an external window of about 80 square meters.

The police station next door has staff on duty, but the administrative hall does not.

One of them took out a black device about the size of a thumb and pressed it against the access control lock. After more than ten seconds, the door opened by itself with a click.

One person stood guard outside the door, while the other six slipped into the dark administrative hall. One of them quickly turned on the computer in the hall and plugged another device into the USB port.

The next moment, the computer screen in the administration hall suddenly turned red, displaying the words "System Intrusion".

This scene was completely different from what Li had said. According to Li, once the device was connected, all the text data could be downloaded in just one minute!

There will be absolutely no obstacles!

Immediately afterwards, the computer screen went black and became unresponsive.

Just then, the lookout outside was looking around when a young man with a buzz cut suddenly walked over and asked with a smile, "Brother, do you have a light? Can I borrow one?"

The lookout hesitated for a moment. "I don't smoke."

As he spoke, the young man had already come up in front of him, and only then did the lookout notice that the man was hiding a dagger in his hand.

The young man took a step forward, and the dagger was already plunged into his heart.

The young man covered his mouth and laughed, "Shh, don't talk."

As he spoke, he led the sentry into the administration hall.

The Time Walker inside was taken aback. "Weren't you supposed to be on guard outside? Why are you in?"

The young man released the body from the sentry post and laughed, "So you're just a bunch of small fry. Didn't the Li family train you properly? It seems their plan will have to wait. Relying on people like you to complete the Purge Plan is too naive."

As he spoke, he closed the door to the administration hall and reached out to turn off the lights inside.

The darkness was filled with constant wails and the sound of bones breaking, like a living hell.

A few minutes later, the sounds inside the room gradually subsided.

With a hiss, the young man lit a match and brought it to his lips. The orange-red flame ignited the cigarette in his mouth, and blue smoke swirled in the air.

The faint firelight illuminated his bloodstained face, highlighting the sharp angles of his prominent nose.

He pulled a letter from his pocket and wrote on it: The Data Fortress has been established and the household registration has not been lost. It seems that this team is just cannon fodder to attract attention. The team that Jiuzhou encountered is the real one.

After he finished writing, he lit the letter with a match.

The young man with the buzz cut took a deep drag on his cigarette, the tobacco twisting and curling as it burned, making a hissing sound.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, wanting to say something to the Time Walker lying haphazardly on the ground.

However, at that moment, all his words were choked back.

As the last glimmer of light from the burning letter faded, the young man saw Zheng Yuandong sitting in a chair opposite him, quietly watching him.

Holy crap!

As darkness returned to the room, the young man tried to escape.

He didn't know when Zheng Yuandong had been stationed there, but he knew who Zheng Yuandong was and what his presence here meant.

No wonder the other party didn't show up tonight. It turns out that this person had already figured out the Li family's Purge Plan and was waiting here!

From the darkness came the young man's pleas for mercy and wails. "Your King Spare My Life! I'm just an errand boy! Wait, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Don't hit my face! If I'd known you were here, I wouldn't have come!"

"Brother, don't push your luck!"

"Holy crap!"

The room returned to calm.

Hearing the commotion inside, Qing Chen turned around and walked away into the distance.

Tonight's events were full of twists and turns; he needs to go home and sort out his thoughts to go over what happened.

Qing Chen took off his raincoat when no one was around and put it into the "clothing donation box" under the eaves of a roadside house.

It was several days later when the raincoat reappeared, and the person in charge of sorting the clothes had no idea where it came from.

"Huh," Qing Chen looked up and was shocked to find a figure falling rapidly in the darkness.

He quickly moved aside, and the girl named Yang Yang landed right where he had just been.

Qing Chen remained silent, wary.

Yang Yang glanced at the clothing donation box and asked curiously, "What are you doing here? I've been looking for you in the sky for ages!"

"I'll donate some clothes to the mountainous areas," Qing Chen replied.

"No one would believe your nonsense," Yang Yang said.

"And why are you here?" Qing Chen frowned.

"I'm asking you to take me home," Yang Yang replied matter-of-factly.

Qing Chen was shocked again. "You can't even find your own home, yet you found me?"

"Because I know you haven't gone far," Yang Yang said. "I was thinking of taking a taxi back, but there are very few taxis available in this rainy weather."

"Oh," Qing Chen said, "Then come with me."

"By the way, where's your companion? Has he left already?" Yang Yang asked, puzzled. "I haven't seen him."

Qing Chen said, "He probably took off his raincoat a long time ago. You haven't seen him, so of course you can't find him."

As they spoke, the two turned onto the main road and walked side by side on the sidewalk.

The downpour has stopped, and the air is filled with a fresh and cool scent—it feels wonderful.

Because of poor drainage, deep puddles formed on the streets of small towns.

Yang Yang said, "By the way, let me tell you something. The people from Kunlun asked me who I was, and I hadn't thought of a good answer, so I just said that I was also one of Liu Dezhu's men."

Qing Chen felt somewhat helpless; now Liu Dezhu was probably attracting even more attention.

Yang Yang then asked, "What abilities does your companion have? What level is he/she?"

"I don't know either. We're not allowed to contact each other privately," Qing Chen shook his head.

Yang Yang tilted her head and thought for a while, "I still think you are the person behind it all, although I don't know why an ordinary person like you who has been injected with gene serum can command superhumans."

"Sorry, you've really got it wrong," Qing Chen replied.

"Why don't I join you guys? I'm pretty good at fighting," Yang Yang said with great interest. "I think joining you guys would be really interesting."

"I can't make that decision myself; I have to report to the boss," Qing Chen replied.

Yang Yang sighed, "Fine, I'll ask you again tomorrow."

Qing Chen: "..."
