Ling Yi entered the apartment and pushed open the door.
Bai Suzhen and Chu Ran were already in the living room.
The three men looked at him, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Ling Yi walked to the table, spread out the draft paper, on which was the action plan he had just written.
"Tonight's operation."
His gaze swept over the three people.
"There's only one: clean up the Kami Cult members in the school."
"11 PM tonight."
Chu Ran asked, "What about the students at the school?"
"I will quietly send all the students away before 11 o'clock."
Ling Yi has already arranged for his Clone to do it.
As for Miller, after Summon, he was immediately returned to the Summoning Space and went into hibernation.
What Ling Yi needs is his ability.
Not him personally.
Ling Yi is now at the Sixth Tier.
The Sixth Tier ability to Summon Clone is far beyond what Miller, First Tier cultivator, can match.
Moreover, after Ling Yi unsealed the first layer...
His understanding of power reached an extremely high level.
The techniques of Clone Technique and hypnosis were directly Perfection.
They possess these two abilities.
It would be perfectly fine to quietly take away boarding students from the school.
"Then there's no problem." Chu Ran nodded.
It was 11 p. m. at Dafeng City No. 3 Middle School.
The campus was as quiet as a sleeping giant in the night.
The lights in the teaching buildings had long been turned off, with only a few windows still lit in the dormitories, where students were burning the midnight oil to do their homework.
Ling Yi stood in the grove behind the experimental building, in front of the iron door of the abandoned equipment room leading to the underground air-raid shelter.
The lock on the iron gate had already been burned open by White Bone White Bone Spirit Fire.
"Chu Ran, how deep can your Dark Shadow Clone infiltrate?" he asked in a low voice.
Chu Ran closed her eyes and slightly raised her hands.
Three dark Shadow surged from beneath her feet, coalescing in the air into three blurry humanoid silhouettes— Dark Shadow Clone.
The Clone were smaller than the original body, with blurred faces, but they moved nimbly, like three wisps of flowing black smoke.
"Maximum penetration distance: 300 meters."
"But the farther away the Clone, the weaker the control becomes."
"We've reached the underground base, about 150 meters away. We still have 60% control. That's enough."
"That's enough. Send your Dark Shadow Clone to scout ahead," Ling Yi said.
"Follow the ventilation ducts and confirm three things: first, the exact location of the medicine storage; second, the direction and branches of the ventilation ducts; and third, the distribution of the enemy."
Three Dark Shadow Clone silently slid into the equipment room, spread down the stairs, and disappeared into the darkness.
Ling Yi closed his eyes and, through Chu Ran's Perception Sharing, received the images transmitted back by his Clone in real time.
The underground air-raid shelter was more complex than he had imagined.
This is not a simple basement, but an underground maze covering at least two thousand square meters.
The main passageway is about two meters wide and three meters high, with Earth Wall on both sides and rough cement on the ground.
Every twenty meters there is a dim light bulb, emitting a soft glow.
The main road branches off in three directions, forming a "Y" shape.
The left branch leads to the medicine storage room.
Chu Ran's Clone infiltrated the scene, and a dozen metal boxes appeared, each containing hundreds of test tubes neatly stacked inside.
The pale green cesium liquid glowed faintly in the test tube.
Ling Yi's heart sank.
Hundreds of them.
It wasn't just a few as previously reported, but hundreds.
These potions are at concentrations far exceeding those of ordinary Kami potions.
The label reads "Concentrated Formula - For Use During a Rainstorm".
If all these agents were released through the ventilation system, not only a school, but the entire city would be covered.
The right branch leads to the control room of the ventilation system.
A huge industrial fan is mounted on the wall, connected to dozens of metal pipes.
The pipes extend upwards, passing through the ceiling and leading to the teaching buildings and dormitories above ground.
There is a control panel next to the fan, and a timer on the control panel.
The timer is set to 2:00 AM on June 24th.
Next to the timer, there is a metal container.
The containers contain diluted gaseous medicine. Once the timer is triggered and the fan is started, the medicine will be delivered to every classroom and dormitory through pipes.
Ling Yi's fingers clenched tightly in his pocket.
Automatic release device.
Even if they wiped out everyone in the stronghold, the timer would still start the fan at 2 a. m. to release the drug.
Unless they find and Destroy that device.
The third direction leads directly to the main road and then to the core area of the stronghold.
All eight people are here.
Two Second Tier, six First Tier.
They sat around an iron table with a campus Map spread out on Map, marking the routes of ventilation ducts and the coverage areas for pesticide application.
A short-haired man sat in the main seat, whispering instructions.
"The timer will start automatically at 2:00 AM."
"We just need to evacuate at 1:50, leaving through the backup exit."
"Once the drug is released, the entire school will be transformed within thirty minutes."
"And then what?" asked a First Tier young man.
"What happens after the transformation is not our concern."
The short-haired man said coldly, "Our mission is simply to deploy it."
Chu Ran's Clone continued to infiltrate and confirmed the location of the backup exit.
Deep inside the air-raid shelter, an upward-sloping tunnel leads to a Water Dao outlet outside the campus...
Chu Ran opened her eyes and relayed the complete results of her Clone's Perception to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi frowned.
"The situation is more complicated than expected!"
The quantity of medicine far exceeded expectations, with hundreds of concentrated doses, not the amount needed for a single operation.
This was prepared by the Kami Cult for the entire Dafeng City.
Automatic release device.
The timer is set to 2 AM, so the potion will automatically be released even after we've wiped out all the enemies.
The device must Destroy before the operation begins.
Alternate exit.
The enemy has an escape route; if we don't set up an ambush at the backup exit, some of them will Escape.
He looked up at Bai Suzhen.
"Big sister, you're in charge of entering through the main passage and using water-based superpowers to seal off all the ventilation ducts."
"Not Destroy, but fill the pipes with water to prevent the medicine from passing through. This is the top priority."
Bai Suzhen nodded. "Understood."
"Second sister, you're in charge of Destroy the timer and release device in the ventilation control room."
"Ensure the medication cannot be released mechanically."
The White Bone Demon raised an eyebrow. "Easy."
Ling Yi was pleased with Chu Ran, and under Chu Ran's expectant gaze, he said, "Chu Ran, you are in charge of sealing off the backup exit."
"No one can be allowed to escape from there."
"Your Dark Shadow Clone can form a barrier in the tunnel, blocking their escape route."
Chu Ran took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay."
"I'm in charge of the frontal assault and eliminating all enemies."
"At 12:30, all four teams will move out simultaneously."
"While the eldest sister sealed off the pipeline, the White Bone Destroy device was activated, and Chu Ran sealed off the escape route."
"I broke into the core area the instant the device was Destroy."
The entire process must be completed within three minutes.
"After more than three minutes, the enemy may trigger the manual release mechanism."
He looked at the three people.
Are there any other questions?
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, "No."
The White Bone Demon twirled her White Bone fan. "Finally, we can have a proper fight."
Chu Ran nodded seriously. "No."
