Volume 2 Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic: Deathmatch Chapter 103 A Reluctant Cooperation
When Qiu thought that Li Wei would keep taking out that communication device, Blood Wolf's expression was extremely pig-like... However, he had no idea what Li Wei was thinking or what he was planning.
Of course, Blood Wolf didn't know that Li Wei had already confirmed that the An Hei was the person who posted on the Dark Apocalypse Website. Since the other party was the head of a secret government department, he must know about his disguise as Si Zhi.
None of these are the main points. The main point is that Li Wei handed the record-keeping plan to Xue Yan, which means that Xue Yan was in danger.
This matter might even involve Zheng Yutong, which is what Li Wei is most worried about.
The state apparatus is definitely not that simple. In fact, Li Wei suspects that the secret department already knows the identities of most of the reincarnators in the real world. So, could he also be the subject of an investigation?
What about Zheng Yutong?
In that instant, he thought of many things. Now, looking back, it was strange that the death of Guo Jian, the police chief, hadn't caused much of a stir. At the time, Li Wei had even deliberately hacked into the police station's network but hadn't found anything unusual.
Now everything seems strange. It appears someone deliberately suppressed the incident for him. After all, he "disappeared" into Shadow Street in front of numerous police officers, yet they didn't report it?
This is not normal!
It's even more illogical that no one is causing him trouble. The only explanation is that someone is already watching him; he's been targeted ever since Guo Jian's death.
That post was probably bait! Looking back, it's highly likely the other party deliberately posted it to lure me out. Furthermore, the website's access restrictions only applied to addresses in my immediate vicinity; it was all a ruse.
If it weren't for Xue Yan's unexpected appearance, if he hadn't entered the black mist, if he hadn't encountered the "Daoist," perhaps he would already be a prisoner of that "An Hei."
Thinking of this, Li Wei broke out in a cold sweat.
As Li Wei continued his analysis, he came to understand the terrifying nature of "An Hei."
No, actually, I underestimated the importance of public services.
I always felt that as a reincarnator, I had an absolute advantage, knowing far more top-secret matters. But I forgot that I wasn't the only "smart person" in the world.
Since there are reincarnation agents like Blood Wolf in Dark Night Street, the government must also know about it, and perhaps even more than they do.
By merging with the identification numbers of other reincarnators and taking over their "identity," the other party would likely be aware of this. Furthermore, if the other party possesses information about him, they could determine his identity based on his appearance.
Is there anything more infuriating than this?
In the real world, even someone with human abilities cannot stand against an entire government.
That An Hei already knew that it was the same person as the previous "Reincarnator No. 7".
Since that's the case, there's no need to beat around the bush anymore. Li Wei is already at a disadvantage in every aspect, but he still wants the other party to know one thing.
That is, never harm your own family and friends. Otherwise, regardless of whether they are from a secret government department or not, Li Wei will kill them without exception. Li Wei believes he can do this.
In his several encounters with An Hei, he had been completely suppressed; the only thing he could rely on was his "strength."
Yes, it's about strength.
Moreover, the only way to continuously expand this advantage is to continuously improve combat power.
Only by becoming stronger can you survive!
"Are you sure you want to talk to 'An Hei'?" Blood Wolf asked, staring at the communicator on the table, enunciating each word clearly.
Li Wei nodded without saying anything.
Blood Wolf, of course, had no idea what Li Wei was thinking. He was just a special agent who would only act according to the commander's plan. He wouldn't consider anything else, nor did he have the ability to.
There were no other customers in the tavern at the moment. The owner, an old man in his late twenties, was dozing off against the counter. At this distance and angle, he wouldn't attract any attention.
Therefore, there is no problem connecting the communicator.
After fiddling with it familiarly for a moment, Blood Wolf handed the communicator back to Li Wei.
The red traffic light flashed a dozen times, then suddenly turned green, indicating that communication had been established with the other end.
At this point, Li Wei had roughly deduced the principle behind the communicator, because he had gleaned some important information from his brief conversation with An Hei last time.
Soon, that familiar voice came from the other end of the communicator.
"Hello, you inauspicious reincarnator, or you can also be called reincarnator number 7, I am An Hei."
What an arrogant guy! If Li Wei saw him, he would bet he would give him a good beating. But now, he was at a disadvantage.
In the real world, he has family and friends; he may be invincible, but they are not.
This is a weakness of human nature.
Even Li Wei has weaknesses.
"An Hei, this is the third time we've chatted, isn't it?" Li Wei composed himself and regained his usual calm.
At this moment, he couldn't afford to be careless. Although it was just a simple phone call, he felt it wasn't a life-or-death struggle with an opponent of equal strength.
Li Wei even felt that the other party was stronger than himself.
"Yes, it's a pity I couldn't meet you in person. I kept my promise about the photos I gave you last time. It's just that you didn't have a single one. When you finish your mission and return to the real world, you can ask your friend who has Zheng Yutong to give them to you."
Oh shit!
Sure enough, this guy was threatening me with Zheng Yutong and the others' lives!
If Li Wei were to encounter this An Hei, he was determined to kill him first. Such a person would be fine as a friend, but if he were an enemy, he would certainly be an extremely dangerous and troublesome opponent.
How could he let such an enemy live! But for now, he really had no other choice. "An Hei, what do you want to know from me? Just ask!"
"Hahaha!" A hearty laugh came from the communicator, "You really are a very interesting fellow. Alright, I'll get to the point. Tell me, how did the black mist disappear? Don't try to fool me, you definitely know!"
Li Wei was taken aback; he really hadn't expected the other person to ask him that.
The vanished black mist must refer to the place where he Taoist He priest destroyed the array's core last time. That black mist was indeed a forbidden area for humans and animals. In other words, the government has no way to deal with that black mist anymore.
This matter is my biggest asset!
"Black mist? Heh, to ordinary people, black mist seems to represent death. By the way, how's your body? You know, black mist is extremely corrosive. Ordinary people can't last more than a few minutes inside it."
The An Hei on the other end was also taken aback.
"So, you guessed how the communicator works. That's right, this communicator can only be used in the darkness. Since you know I'm not well, you should tell me quickly how the black mist disappeared, shouldn't you?"
Li Wei had thus regained his footing. This time, he didn't waste any more words, but instead told the other party the location of the black mist, the array's core, and the method to break it.
Li Wei also disliked the Black Sha that was corrupting the real world, and it would be a good thing if this crisis could be resolved as soon as possible.
However, he remained cautious and did not reveal the identity of the Shadow Angel guarding the array's core.
After a long silence, the An Hei on the other end finally said, "Thank you! I'll contact you again."
Immediately, the green light, which represented the signal, turned red again.
Li Wei let out a long sigh and leaned heavily against the table and chair. A layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead. He thought to himself that talking to this "An Hei" really takes a lot of brain cells!
As for Blood Wolf on the other side, he was stunned by the conversation. In fact, the seemingly ordinary conversation was actually a game of chess between the two.
Playing chess remotely should be like a battlefield without gunpowder.
He was unaware that just moments ago, if they had disagreed, Li Wei would have killed him outright. Unfortunately, Blood Wolf was oblivious to this.
"Go back!" Li Wei stood up and said, "Don't practice that basic mental cultivation method from the Heavenly Sword Sect. Focus on cultivating the Innate Skill I passed on to you these next few days. Remember, I don't keep useless people under my command."
Ignoring the bewildered Blood Wolf, Li Wei walked out of the tavern alone.
By this time, it was completely dark. At this hour, not many people would light oil lamps, as ordinary people had already gone to bed. Only gambling dens and brothels would be brightly lit, staying up all night.
Today was Li Wei's first night in Luoyang City. The night allowed him to experience firsthand the nightlife of ancient times.
After a few leaps, Li Wei stood atop a relatively tall building within the city, overlooking the entire city, which was pitch black except for the faint silvery moonlight that enveloped the ancient city.
Li Wei didn't want to sleep. At that moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings—worry and anger.
"An Hei. I've only spoken to him a few times, so I don't really know him. Is he someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, or is he more gentle?"
Li Wei only has his father in his hometown as a relative. He rarely contacts other relatives, so he doesn't need to worry about them. His father is one of Li Wei's concerns.
Li Wei doesn't have many friends. But after becoming a reincarnator, he made a few, and naturally he doesn't want anything to happen to them. As for Zheng Yutong, Li Wei is even more determined not to let anything happen to her. After all, she is someone he likes. If he can't even protect this person, he might as well just kill himself.
Therefore, the only option is to cooperate with the An Hei, but this cooperation is entirely forced upon them.
Li Wei disliked being forced, even though he knew it was something that had to be done— Dispel the black mist was beneficial to the real world— Li Wei wanted to do it in his own way.
Even if you're the savior, it's not your place, An Hei, to be one!
Li Wei channeled all his power, using the "True Qi-Controlling Formula" to transform his inner force into an invisible sword, which he then slashed at an abandoned house a dozen meters away.
With a sharp, piercing sound, Li Wei ripped open a large gap in the brick roof. The cut between the bricks was clean, as if a piece of the abandoned house had been sliced off by a sharp sword. Moreover, the moment Li Wei released the "True Qi-Controlling Formula," intense sword intent splashed everywhere, and for a moment, dogs barked and roosters crowed Luoyang City, turning the nighttime Luoyang City into chaos.
Looking at his masterpiece, Li Wei was also somewhat shocked. He had just unleashed his full combat power, but he hadn't expected the destructive force to be so formidable.
With a sigh of relief, Li Wei felt the gloom in his heart dissipate. Seeing the noisy barking of dogs all around, Li Wei simply smiled, then jumped off the roof in a flash and disappeared in a few leaps.
Li Wei was only acting out of a sense of gratification; he was unaware that his actions tonight would stir up several sects and powerful families in Luoyang City.
