Chapter 255: Generous Reward, Ghost Trial

"Death Sleeper?"

White Owl frowned slightly.

He recalled for a while and seemed to have thought of something.

"So, those illusions you used before were also Death Sleepers?"

On the black seat, Yao Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded. But he did not deny or admit it, as if there was still some hidden secret.

"A formal Death Sleeper can forcefully hypnotize any ordinary human being in an instant, and use their sensory illusions to kill themselves. Ordinary people within a hundred people cannot pose any threat to the Death Sleeper, even if they are holding guns. Even with biological armor, the senses may be deceived. I have used this kind of Death Sleep technique before, and you should have seen it..."

Yao Qing took a deep breath, and then revealed more information.

"The Eternal Sleep Sect has created a total of five types of death hypnosis, corresponding to the five senses of human beings, directly targeting the root. Each death hypnosis master has a hint of secret language and hypnotic gestures to activate the ability, and the powerful ones carry one or even several hypnotic props with them. Those who have entered the sect will choose one of the death hypnosis methods as their main practice, constantly temper their spirits with meditation, constantly strengthen hypnotic props, and finally even condense the core of death sleep. This level of death hypnosis master can be comparable to a general-level biological armor..."

"It is said that a hundred years ago, there was a super death hypnotist who cultivated five death hypnosis cores corresponding to the five types of death hypnosis and combined them into one! All humans who step into his domain will be dragged into the boundless fantasy hell..."

"Wandering forever on the edge of life and death, dream and wakefulness."

Yao Qing shook his head and looked directly at Bai Xiao: "But that is already in the past. A hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, the Eternal Sleep Sect suffered a huge change, and its strength and power shrank significantly. It was even a bit like the core of the cultivation system encountered a major problem, and it continued to decline for a century. In modern times, there are only two or three big cats and small cats left. Only a few old antiques are still adhering to the inheritance of the past..."

"According to the strength of the Eternal Sleep Sect back then, the Death Sleepers can be divided into amateur, professional, special, dead core, and the legendary nightmare level. In modern times, the only powerful force that the Eternal Sleep Sect can show off is the special level, which is comparable to the wing level in biological armor. Its characteristic is that it has mastered one or more hypnotic props..."

Yao Qing described the decline of the Eternal Sleep Sect in detail, and then continued: "After a hundred years of decline, the Eternal Sleep Sect has become extremely weak. But they did not give up, and instead wanted to recreate the glory and honor of the past. So a few decades ago, several old antiques in the sect began to study the sacrificial ritual to communicate with the Eternal Sleep God in the void. They kept trying again and again, and finally found a way. They didn't know how they got a piece of the flesh and blood of the Eternal Sleep God. And, based on this, they gradually developed..."

"By now, the Eternal Sleep Sect should have recovered some of its vitality, but I don't know if there are any new Death Core-level Death Sleepers..."

"And, Tianshen Company, Beihai Company, and Fenguang Group came here just for the flesh and blood of the Eternal God! They got the inside scoop from somewhere, saying that the flesh and blood of the Eternal God is also a kind of monster cell. If they can obtain the flesh and blood of the God and research the corresponding biological armor, it will probably be another extreme series, even surpassing the original peak..."

He talked eloquently and told Bai Xiao all the causes and consequences.

"So, you are looking for me for the flesh and blood of the Eternal Sleeping God?"

Bai Xiao thought for a moment and then asked.

"No……"

Yao Qing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The Demon Cloud Group is after the flesh and blood of the Eternal Sleeping God. As for me, I have another goal. I have some troubles that must be solved, so I need to go to the Eternal Sleeping Sect. I asked you to help me only for my own personal purpose, and it has nothing to do with the Demon Cloud Group..."

When Bai Xiao heard this, he was silent for a while.

It seems that Yao Qing is obviously trying to fish in troubled waters. It just so happens that several major corporate groups have a fierce conflict with the Eternal Sleep Sect, which is gradually recovering its vitality. He can take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and achieve his goal.

As for inviting myself, it was equivalent to hiring a high-level thug.

Bai Xiao only needs to be responsible for Yao Qing.

There is no need to fight and struggle for the final victory of the Moyun Group.

He thought for a moment, thinking of the reward Yao Qing had mentioned, the rich mercury potion, and the advanced potion Leng Xing, which was still in the laboratory stage. After taking these two, one could increase the proficiency of biological armor at a very fast speed.

If there are enough, you can even instantly upgrade the armor to the full level.

For White Owl, it is definitely a good thing.

He had experienced the excellent effects of mercury potion before.

In addition, Bai Xiao also had some ideas of his own. The biological armor in his armor knight occupation panel had almost been eaten up, leaving only a wing-level armor blue crystal fire demon that was not at the maximum level. Obviously, it was time for Bai Xiao to import a batch of goods. This operation seemed to be a good opportunity.

All the major biological armor giants and groups have sent a lot of wing-level armor, including top-level series. I'm afraid it's hard for him not to be tempted!

"I just don't know if these giant companies will send out general-level armor. And whether there are top-level Death Sleepers hidden in the Eternal Sleep Sect. Both of them are comparable to the masters of martial arts schools. I am afraid there is still a gap between me and them. However, if it is just wing-level armor and special-level Death Sleepers, it won't be a big problem. It's like eating a buffet..."

Bai Xiao muttered to himself, weighing the pros and cons of the whole thing.

Finally, he came to his senses and said to Yao Qing who was looking expectant.

"I promised you."

"Tell me the time, place, target, and details."

Yao Qing smiled with relief.

"As for time, are you free tomorrow night? Let's get familiar with the situation first and test the arrangements of the Eternal Sleep Sect. If we really want to take action, it will depend on those giant companies and groups. Once they take action, we will take action. It will probably take at least two or three days..."

Bai Xiao thought about it for a while and felt that it was not a big problem. The fourth round of the Dark World Fighting Tournament will be held tomorrow, with the top 16 and the quarterfinals. The day after tomorrow will be the fifth round, with the semifinals and the finals. In two or three days, the Eastern Conference will be over. He can also free up time and act freely.

He said in a deep voice: "Okay."

Yao Qing then said, "As for the location of the Eternal Sleep Sect, it is near Donghai City. I will tell you what I want to get when we go to investigate tomorrow night. The details are a little complicated..."

"Can."

After Bai Xiao agreed, he looked directly at Yao Qing and said.

"Prepare my reward first."

"Also, remember to ask the Moyun Group headquarters to assign me a mission. Just give me a combat mission, and I'll get two benefits for myself..."

He has not forgotten that in his profession as a combat specialist, his combat skills have not yet been perfected and he is almost able to extract potential points.

"As for the reward, no problem."

"As for the combat mission, I will ask Director Lin's men to issue one when the time comes. I will definitely give the maximum points that can be provided within the scope of the mission."

Yao Qing agreed readily.

He stretched out his hand casually and held it horizontally in the air.

Bai Xiao shook hands with him and expressed his hope for a pleasant cooperation.

The two drank a few drinks in the booth and then walked out of the Firefly Bar.

…

Near the bar, on a street with only dim lights at the intersection.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked quietly into the distance.

The dull sound of footsteps echoed on the street, the night was hazy overhead, and small black insects fluttered up and down in the green belt next to it, bringing a sense of secluded loneliness.

"despair!"

Suddenly, Bai Xiao stopped and stood still.

"What's wrong?"

Beside him, Yao Qing turned his head slightly and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Instantly, in the dark shadow ahead, there was a sound of hard leather boots stomping on the ground. Then, a tall figure in a black windbreaker slowly emerged. Under the windbreaker was a black leather interior like armor. His hands drooped slightly, and his palms were completely covered by black leather gloves.

The man had a slender figure, and his face was covered with a green and red mask.

The ferocious ghost face looks like gold but not gold, and like wood but not wood.

I don't know if it was because of the moonlight shining on the mask, but the whole ghost face kept changing in the hazy shadows, sometimes baring fangs and roaring angrily, sometimes drooping in sadness, and sometimes laughing crazily.

The only things that remain unchanged are the two black pupils under the mask.

It is deep and dark, like a bottomless vortex that can swallow all light.

This person has long hair like a waterfall, and carries a faint aura of mystery and fear.

Yao Qing's eyes faintly emitted a green light, with a hint of dreamlike gorgeous color. He stared directly at the man in front of him and subconsciously pushed the hypnosis. However, the next second, Yao Qing was struck by lightning, with fear in his eyes. He suddenly saw that in the shadow behind the masked man, a copper-colored giant emitting terrifying black smoke suddenly walked out with heavy steps. It was as tall as two stories, and its body was densely wrapped with black chains with spikes, covered with mottled bloodstains. Especially on the head.

The entire face was completely replaced by a bloody hole.

Black blood continued to flow out of the hole, and screams and howls like hell were heard continuously from inside.

“Boom!!!”

Yao Qing was shocked. The black smoke giant in front of him was already striding towards him.

A huge and terrifying shadow quickly enveloped them, making them suffocate.

"Bah!!!"

The next second, the high-pitched bird cry that pierced through gold and split rocks instantly tore everything apart. He could only see a huge overlapping flapping of wings that blocked all vision, and all the darkness and fear were taken away, as if nothing had happened.

Yao Qing came to his senses and suddenly saw a burly and strong man standing in front of him. He did not turn around and spoke in a rumbling voice.

"You go first..."

"I was catching up with an old friend."

Yao Qing's heart was pounding, and he nodded immediately. He immediately returned to the back the same way, and when he was about to leave the street, he glanced at the two tall figures confronting each other in the darkness, and felt a terrifying collision of momentum.

It was like two monsters in the darkness, revealing their ferocious bloody fangs.

"What a terrifying aura..."

"That should be Bai Xiao's enemy, definitely not a friend!"

In the dim alley, under the shadow of tall buildings.

"Nice to meet you again, White Owl." Ghost Face blocked the way, his large black windbreaker fluttering in the wind, as if there were wisps of black air surrounding him.

The terrifying aura on his body was like a series of tsunamis hitting him.

"If you want to avenge Si You, then do it."

"Haha, I'm always at your service..."

Opposite him, Bai Xiao's strong body stood firm, like a thick and high wall emitting blazing heat, silently blocking the terrifying momentum of dozens of meters of waves. A slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"No."

In front, Ghost Face unexpectedly shook his head. His dark eyes slowly looked at White Owl and said, "Actually, we are the same kind of people."

"You also practiced the Secret Weapon of Fear, didn't you?"

Ghost Face narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing whether he was smiling or scrutinizing, as he looked up and down at Bai Xiao's reaction. However, Bai Xiao remained calm, with no change in his facial expression or emotions.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"You want to invite me to join your Scarlet Face organization again?"

Bai Xiao's eyes were indifferent, showing no interest at all.

In front, Ghost Face shook his head: "I can feel that the secret weapon of fear you practiced is of a high level. Even the executioners who can emit the magic energy of despair can't take advantage of you. This is not something that ordinary people can do..."

"You and I are at most on an equal footing."

He smiled, and then said: "I came to you just to clear up a misunderstanding. My subordinates were eager to make achievements and win over talents from all sides. They may have been a little rough when inviting others. I apologize for them here. This is not the way and intention of the Ghost Face Organization..."

Bai Xiao sneered twice. He didn't think that Ghost Face was just trying to clear up a so-called misunderstanding. Last time and this time, Ghost Face had used the Secret Weapon of Fear to test him twice in a row. Obviously, he had other purposes.

Ghost Face glanced at White Owl, who was noncommittal, and slowly made way.

He stepped aside into the dark shadows and spoke.

"A temporary conflict doesn't mean anything."

"Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future..."

The voice of Ghost Face became increasingly vague, and finally completely disappeared. He came very suddenly, and left without a trace, which seemed a bit nonsensical.

However, Bai Xiao remained silent for a full half minute.

"Whatever he wants to do..."

"When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Just adapt to the situation."

He stepped forward, his large body slowly stepping into the shadows of the alley.

Time flies, the moon sets and the sun rises, and it is already the second day.

The golden morning light pierced through the thin clouds, passed through the transparent glass windows, and fell on the soft carpet and white bed in the bedroom. In the narrow beam of light, you can vaguely see dust swirling and floating like small insects.

“Wow.”

The bathroom door was pushed open and a strong figure walked out.

He picked up the platinum combat suit from the bedside and put it on.

Then he strode out of the room and headed towards the hall downstairs.

August 17th, morning.

The Eastern Dark World Fighting Tournament, the round of 16, has begun!
