If it was just a sudden guess on his part before, then after sensing that two masters of level 5 or above who were obviously enemies rather than friends were lurking in this small stronghold, Ling Yao was 100% sure that these people were the rushers. Came here with Lin Tianyu.
To be precise, it was for the ring owned by Lin Tianyu.
The reason why he was sure that the Jingcheng aristocratic family did not know about Lin Tianyu's cheat was firstly because according to the "current plot", Lin Tianyu and the Jingcheng aristocratic family had not yet interacted; secondly, he also learned through the complainers that Lin Tianyu had always put rings and children. The golden dragon is hidden very deep and has never revealed any clues.
But he was away from the main plot for too long, and was away from the "intrigue" with the protagonist for a short time. He even forgot for a moment that the perspective of the Tucao hero was not omniscient, and people in this world were not completely unaware of the so-called "protagonist" and "villain".
For example, he, Xin Ran, and Li Jiaheng, who also has a "system".
Since Li Jiaheng was inexplicably connected with the Beijing aristocratic family, he should have guessed that the small Li family was not enough for Li Jiaheng to vote for him, but Lin Tianyu's "secret" - whether it was the inheritance of Qingyou Valley or the ancient giant beast Golden Dragon In itself, even one clue is enough to drive big families like the Chen family and the Liang family crazy.
It is completely different from his behavior of frantically avoiding flags and avoiding becoming a "villain". I don't know for what purpose, but Li Jiaheng's action goal is obviously to "become a villain" and help the plot develop according to the "script".
Things have evolved into the current situation, probably just as Li Jiaheng expected.
The Secret Service thought that Qi Sui's heart was a bait, and the analysis there was as fierce as a tiger. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand what the raven was doing. But in fact, that list was the bait used by Raven to fish out Lin Tianyu.
They are not afraid of destroying a stronghold, nor are they afraid of falling out with the Special Intelligence Bureau, nor are they even afraid of having their heart taken back. Compared with Qingyou Valley’s miraculous and unparalleled inheritance of both medicine and martial arts, this “investment” is just a stepping stone. , the level of voting certificate.
However, looking back at the current situation, since Li Jiaheng's goal is to promote the plot, not to kill Lin Tianyu, then this "end boss" must be within the range that Lin Tianyu finds difficult but can barely handle it - probably The upper-middle level of the fourth grade.
The Secret Service originally did not regard Lin Tianyu as its own combat power, nor did it count the two extra men from the Ravens as the enemy's combat power. Now that it is fully counted, it can be said that the combat power is even.
Then I will take the opportunity to steal the Heart of Qi Sui. Well, the plan is passed＜（＾－＾）＞
Ling Yao's little calculation was going on in his mind, but the situation he encountered in reality was not smooth.
He didn't know where the Heart of Qi Sui was stored, so he could only explore upwards layer by layer. The access card that I grabbed when I first came in had a red light on when I entered the second-floor control area.
then……
He is currently being chased by soldiers on the second floor.
"Assemble! The other patrol teams will assemble immediately! An intruder has been found in area B36! The cultivation level is estimated to be above level seven!"
"He's here! Stop! Where to run!"
"Shoot immediately when you find the target! Don't let anyone live!"
"He ran towards area B15! Team γ6 is going to intercept him!"
"Report! The wall here has been damaged and we can't pass this road now!!"
"Who the hell shot randomly! He broke the light tube and we can't even find him!!"
"He's jumping around! Can my bullet still turn? If you don't shoot randomly, have you hit him?!"
"Shut the fuck up! Team β4, he's running in your direction! Get ready to stop him!"
"Damn it! The circuit exploded! Who did it! This road is also ruined!"
"β4! Where are the β4 people!"
"Team γ7 reports that the whole army of β4 has been wiped out! No one is dead, but they are all unconscious! All the guns and ammunition have been taken away!"
"Damn! A bunch of trash!"
Although Raven's patrol team was in chaos, Ling Yao, who was chased and running around and jumping up and down, was actually not having an easy time.
Unlike when he was escaping with his teacher on his back in the old city, although the old city was chaotic, his spiritual consciousness had already been spread out and he had the route map of the entire area at all times, and the only ones who were stunned by the chaos were the Huo family's pursuers.
Here, his spiritual exploration was blocked, and the only response he received was the noise of the electric current in the wall. The ones who have the advantage of the terrain are the Ravens. They can locate his coordinates at all times through the double guarantee of massive surveillance and human eyes.
What's more, the Raven's guards are well-trained, well-organized, well-equipped, and more numerous. They are completely different from the Huo family's group of little gangsters ABCD who seem to be chasing ducks to get on the shelf and run away with random threats.
Even if Ling Yao could fight against ten or a hundred of the guards here, he would definitely be exhausted by the end of the fight and would be unable to continue the mission.
He had to find a way to completely destroy the surveillance in order to gain relative freedom and have a chance to find the location of the secret warehouse.
So Ling Yao killed another team, took away the special bullets from the guards, and began to search for the location of the central control and power distribution room.
He just discovered that these special bullets really hurt people! Moreover, it is basically impossible to use the true energy to interfere with the trajectory, and can only avoid it, or rely on the protective true energy barrier to resist. This was also the main reason why he escaped so awkwardly.
But conversely, if it hurts when others hit him, it will also hurt when he uses it to hit others! It just so happened that the guns equipped by these guards were all of the same shape. Ling Yao was searching for bullets all the way, strapping them to his jacket in rows, and then continued to use his sword to ambush the next patrol team that was about to collide.
You ask why he still uses a sword to hit people when he wants to use a gun and has special bullets?
The answer is simple.
Because Ling Yao doesn't know how to use a gun!
God knows, while he was escaping, he was thinking about it. If he could shoot, and add a layer of infuriating energy to the special bullets, the armor-piercing effect would be absolutely maximum, and he would be able to beat up a group of people alone when being besieged by level 6 people!
If you are dueling with someone above level 6, then use your left hand pistol and right hand sword, alternating distance and near output. Wouldn't this catch your opponent off guard and spread them all over the place? It’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
He thought that ordinary bullets had no lethality at first, but Xie Mingming was a long-range sniper at the beginning, and he only used less than ten bullets in a fierce battle, which made him think that the special bullets were pitiful!
Moreover, no one in the Secret Service's duty department has ever played with guns, and many people even disdain to use guns, so that he has never had the idea of getting a gun for fun.
How did he know that people like the Secret Service don't like to play with guns because they don't know how to enchant bullets with their true energy for a long time?
Obviously even the formation pattern can be engraved into the brain of the enemy's power distribution room, why didn't you think of engraving the runes that can induce air and store energy directly on the bullet head? !
Ling Yao was depressed to death.
It's not like he hasn't thought about selling his skills now and learning shooting skills from these guards.
However, during the battle, he could not clearly see the details of the opponent's movements. In addition, Ling Yao also wanted to enchant the bullets, so he practiced it several times. Either the bullets jammed or exploded, leaving himself covered in gray. He said that he had to go grab the equipment again.
So Ling Yao made up his mind: when he encounters a search team soon, he will immediately seek help from professionals! !
The role of NPC has been increased.jpg
After repeated chasing and escaping, Ling Yao finally searched the second floor. After confirming that there was no target he wanted, he left some "safety risks" for the patrol team and found another way to the third floor.
The stronghold has five floors in total. According to the intelligence from the Secret Service, it is certain that the generator room where they did something is on the third floor. Although the stronghold now uses backup power, it does not mean that the formations left before can no longer be used.
The third floor is not as noisy as the second floor, and there are not as many guards as there are on the second floor. After the sporadic encounters, Ling Yao found that the training level of the guards here had obviously risen to a big level.
The noise just heard outside was an explosion and a vibration, but the development of the matter is still continuing, which shows that the situation is very serious, and also shows that the Raven and the people of the Secret Service are still in a stalemate.
Therefore, Ling Yao guessed that the reason why there were fewer people here was more likely because they were transferred to deal with the Secret Service.
But this does provide convenience to Ling Yao: after all, no matter how strong the guard becomes, as long as he can avoid it, his health bar will not be deducted.
The formation pattern provided by Ling Yao to the Special Intelligence Bureau was not the basic formation pattern of the great world of Mang Sheng, but the formation pattern that he had continuously researched and transformed, strengthened and optimized, and had more practical functions.
This not only prevents some people in the Secret Service who are eager for quick success from trying to get rid of them, but it is also a technique that allows the duty department to immediately convert the formation pattern into a technique that can be applied in actual combat.
But this also means that it is difficult for people from the Special Intelligence Bureau to flexibly use the knowledge of formations for their own use in a short period of time, and they can only follow the script and copy the instructions. At least this brought convenience to Ling Yao today - he was able to sense his formation patterns immediately and quickly avoid the guards and reach the generator room.
As Yang He said, due to the activation of the formation, the generator room was on full strike. Raven's people couldn't find out the equipment problem, so they had to activate the backup power supply directly.
Therefore, it was dark here, the power was interrupted, and the formation that absorbed the electric energy naturally ceased.
Anyone standing here would feel that the formation is useless. But for Ling Yao, it is quite useful.
He touched the pattern marks painted with transparent paint on the metal shell of the chassis, as if to confirm the position, then took out a dagger from his arms, scraped away part of the pattern in twos and twos, and then silently recited a few words. sentence.
The originally dim array pattern suddenly glowed slightly and made a soft clicking sound.
When Ling Yao opened his eyes, the originally quiet room suddenly became filled with wind, as if a whirlpool had gathered on the formation.
The extinguished incandescent lamp flickered on and off, the cooling fan whirred, the originally silent chassis buzzed, the indicator light flashed continuously, and the alarm sounded one after another.
Ling Yao nodded with satisfaction at the scene in front of him and said to himself:
"Incoming call~"
There was a series of crackling sounds of electricity flowing outside the corridor and the sound of light monitors exploding.
Yes, all he did was reverse the formation, release all the electrical energy gathered in the formation, and overload the equipment instantly and burn it down.
Ling Yao strode out of the generator room, stood in the corridor where only the emergency power lights were left, turned around and closed the door of the machine room hard.
Bang——!
There was a loud explosion in the room, but the aftermath of the explosion was blocked inside the door. Only the hand on the doorknob could feel a violent vibration, and it quickly returned to calm.
Since he was acting in secret, he naturally had to eliminate all traces of the formation and formation pattern changes.
The corridor, with only emergency lights remaining, was dim but bustling. The sudden power outage caught all the forces staying at the base unprepared.
But at the same time, everyone also realizes that new chaos means new opportunities.
Ming Yan knocked out the enemy who rushed towards him with one punch, finally ending the small encounter in front of him. After confirming that there were no conscious enemies around, as usual, the team began to count the wounded and equipment.
While Mingyan listened to the deputy's report, he looked at the puppet master without any trace.
The puppet master received the signal, but secretly shook his head helplessly.
Although it was not within the scope of their plan to break up with Raven so quickly and lose so many manpower in a head-on conflict, whether it was releasing Lin Tianyu to find the list or the puppet master sending new puppets to explore the heart of Qi Sui, these The steps are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Rather than being anxious about their plan being disrupted, they are now more confused about what the raven is doing to create such a posture of heavy thunder and small raindrops.
But this fight has already begun, and there is no reason to be timid and go home because he cannot find out the details of the other party.
However, after probing along the way, neither Ming Yan nor the puppet master made any new discoveries, and communications with the outside world were completely disconnected. The Heart of Qi Sui seems to be more like a cover, and they are stepping into the trap created by Raven step by step.
The two fifth-grade people couldn't help but think this way, and the other search team members below were even more panicked and thinking wildly. Mingyan saw all this in his eyes. As the backbone of the team, he didn't dare to show it on his face, but he became even more irritable in his heart.
It would be great if we could contact the Golden Scale Team and Yang He. The current situation is no longer one that he, a squad leader, can lead.
Suddenly, Mingyan and the puppet master looked at the corner of the corridor at the same time.
Click. power cut.
This is another surprise! It would be great if someone sabotaged the power system, but if it was Raven who took the initiative to cut off the power, it was probably to catch them in a trap.
But Mingyan and the puppet master still focused on the corner.
The others didn't know why, so they had to follow their gazes, and they heard footsteps.
The footsteps were scattered, obviously not a group of people. But everyone still took up arms, stopped communicating, and increased vigilance.
Probably because he noticed that the human voices here disappeared and the footsteps suddenly stopped.
Seeing that the other party was also wary, Mingyan simply picked up the stick and took the initiative to walk towards the corner:
"who?!"
As soon as his voice came out, the footsteps started to move, and a familiar figure turned around:
"Here is the lead medal of the Golden Scale Team! Captain Mingyan! I finally found you!"
The person in front of him was Meng Jie'an.
People from the Special Intelligence Bureau naturally have a way to communicate their identities, and they confirmed that the other party was indeed Qianzhang. Before Mingyan could ask why Qianzhang appeared here alone, Meng Jie'an asked anxiously:
"Have you ever seen a young man in a black assault jacket, wearing a hood, and carrying a long sword? Ling Yao, the new member of the Golden Scale Team, we have lost contact with him! He is very powerful, but has a bad temper. This It was his first mission, and the captain asked me to look at him. But as soon as he heard about the explosion here, he rushed in on his own! I couldn't stop him, so I had to bite the bullet and come in to find him, hoping that he would Don't get into trouble and disrupt your plans!"
This was the first time that Meng Jie'an had seriously lied to his own people, and he was still a little uneasy. But the situation was originally chaotic, and Mingyan couldn't distinguish between his half-truths and half-false words. Instead, he asked Ling Yao's characteristics in detail, asking each team member to recall them.
After confirming that no one had seen it, Mingyan began to comfort Meng Jie'an not to worry too much and asked him to stay and perform the mission together. This made Meng Jie'an a little embarrassed.
He agreed with peace of mind on his face, but he was beating a drum in his heart: Ling Yao obviously came in first, but he hadn't met with the search team yet, so what on earth was he going to do? Don't really get into any trouble!
After acting so much, he almost thought he was the person in charge of the "newcomer" Ling Yao!
Of course, Ling Yao didn't cause any more trouble at this time. After all, he had already finished cutting off the power, which was the most "troublesome" thing.
After successfully investigating the third floor, Ling Yao decisively gave up on the fourth floor where he had sensed Ming Yan and the Puppet Master were located, and on the fifth floor where he learned that Lin Tianyu was located through the complaints, and went straight to the sixth floor.
Raven's people focused their attention on Lin Tianyu, and the entire building only had limited emergency power supply. The top floor of the base, which was supposed to be heavily guarded, felt like a deserted place - at least for Ling Yao. That's right.
But this also means that the possibility of important materials and clues hidden here is greatly reduced.
No. still none.
Ling Yao quickly checked every room he passed, but found nothing of value.
Do you want to turn back to the fifth floor and join the frontal battlefield where Lin Tianyu is?
It was also a way, but Ling Yao rejected this option from the bottom of his heart. It’s not that I mind helping the protagonist Lin Tianyu to be better, but because his original purpose is to hide the existence of himself and the project, not to help the Secret Service solve all difficulties.
…
wrong.
There is someone in front.
Ling Yao narrowed his eyes and stopped in the darkness.
"I thought you were out. I didn't expect to see you here again."
He heard a strange yet familiar voice.
He knew who it was and who he was talking to.
But he didn't expect the other party to recognize him so quickly.
Is it also part of the system's function that can directly sense each other's presence?
Then there's no point in playing dumb.
"Let me guess, you chose the role of another villain - 'the mole in the Secret Service'? I underestimated you for being able to achieve such an identity."
"I didn't expect it would be like this when we meet again, Mr. Li."
Under the dim light, Li Jiaheng didn't cover his face, so it didn't seem weird that Ling Yao called him by his first name. He silently unsheathed his sword and stared at the darkness ahead, but his tone was relaxed and calm:
"But I really don't understand what you're talking about."
It seems that Li Jiaheng has determined that he is also "working diligently as a villain", but he has chosen his target within the Secret Service.
"I won't beat around the bush. This is the last time I ask you. Do you really not consider cooperating with me? If you don't, then we can only become enemies."
Of course Ling Yao would not discuss cooperation with someone like Li Jiaheng. But he was very curious about Li Jiaheng's motives and stance - which may involve certain rules related to the system.
"Enemy? Do you have the ability to kill me?"
He asked in a mocking and vague manner.
"It's true that the system doesn't allow us to kill each other, but if I really want to kill you, why bother doing it myself."
Seeing that Ling Yao was unmoved, Li Jiaheng became quite angry and put down his harsh words.
"In this case, I won't be polite anymore!"
Having said that, Li Jiaheng stepped out of the way...
Ran.
Ling Yao:?
No, didn't you just say harsh words? Shouldn't you rush over and have a fight with me? Why are you running! !
But come to think of it. It is true that Li Jiaheng is now attached to a noble family in the capital, but in Ling Yao's eyes, his fighting ability still belongs to the fifth scum of Zhan. Even if it is said that "the system does not allow killing each other," Li Jiaheng must be wary of Ling Yao's dirty tricks.
But I have drawn my sword and you are going to do this for me? ? What a waste of my feelings!
Of course, Ling Yao quickly took back this idea.
Because, Li Jiaheng ran away, but recruited a mini-boss for him:
"I still don't believe it. It turns out there are really rats sneaking into this place."
Surprisingly, it was the person in charge of the Raven Stronghold—Gu Ke!
Ling Yao weighed the sword in his hand.
Okay, it looks like we still have to fight!
