Upon hearing this, Elder Ji remained calm and said, "There's nothing we can do. The National Freshman Competition is witnessed by the International Association of Extraordinary Individuals. If we can't find evidence, it will be difficult to hold them accountable."
"But isn't it too unfair to the other contestants to exploit these loopholes in the rules?" The chief referee clenched his fist. "And now that we've reached the official competition, almost all of the 64 finalists are elites. What if they use the same tactics in the finals..."
"Don't worry," Elder Ji said calmly. "The arena for the finals, set up by Academician Hongye, will be a virtual arena within the illusion, so there will be no more casualties."
The chief referee paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I see..." He continued, "But I still can't swallow this!"
"There is never much absolute fairness in this world."
Ji Lao said, "To deal with despicable people, we must use even more despicable means to defeat them."
"If they can exploit loopholes in the rules and make it so flawless that we can't find any fault with it, so can we."
The chief referee looked puzzled upon hearing this: "You mean...?"
Old Ji glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "If one day, the headquarters building of the gene company mysteriously explodes, all the top leaders die overnight, and all the warehouse supplies and ships are looted overnight... but they have no evidence to find the murderer, what do you think they can do?"
The chief referee's mouth dropped open slightly.
"Dare to play these tricks on me, humph..." Old Ji said coldly, "In recent years, the power of the gene company has grown stronger and stronger around the world, and what they have done has become increasingly outrageous. It's time to teach them a lesson. Since they dared to cross my bottom line this time, they should be prepared to pay the price. Let's give them a warning and let them know that this is Yan Country!"
The chief referee, sensing the intense killing intent emanating from Elder Ji, swallowed hard and broke out in a cold sweat: "You're right..."
"However, that will be after this competition," said Mr. Ji. "The unfairness of the competition will have to be borne by the athletes themselves."
At this moment, a female referee suddenly walked over, her expression serious: "Professor Ji, there's an emergency! We've discovered something suspicious!"
Old Ji turned his head and asked, "What's suspicious?"
The female referee said, "There seems to be an intruder in the event town!"
Old Ji immediately raised an eyebrow: "What did you say?"
The female referee quickly manipulated the workbench with both hands, then switched to a screen: "Look."
"This is the barrier outside the town, footage captured by surveillance cameras."
"The two guards let an off-road vehicle into the town."
"But after our investigation, we found that the license plate number of this SUV had not been registered and did not belong to any university staff or media reporters."
"Oh? Such a thing could happen?" Old Ji asked, "What about the two guards?"
"We've already brought them back and questioned them," the female referee said. "After examination, it was found that both guards were under someone else's illusion spell, and their brains were in a dormant and confused state."
“Our healing-type superhumans cast healing spells on them, but they still haven’t fully regained their senses.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ji's expression gradually became serious.
This is no small matter!
What does this suspicious person with an unknown identity want to do by suddenly sneaking into the town of the event?
Could it be that they came to snatch the national treasure prize at the end of the competition...?
The healing-type superhumans in the competition group are all top-tier healing experts in the country. The fact that they couldn't completely break the opponent's illusion shows that the opponent's strength can be described as extremely terrifying!
However, the infiltration method used by the other party did not seem to be particularly sophisticated.
Entering so blatantly through the main entrance is like openly telling you, "I'm in."
Mr. Ji remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
Such a brazen infiltration is truly provocative...
If one wasn't extremely confident in their abilities, they certainly wouldn't have done this.
"Send men to search immediately!"
Old Master Ji immediately gave the order: "But don't investigate too obviously. We need to find out the identity of the infiltrator first!"
Everyone: "Yes!"
The official match starts tomorrow.
There will be many media reporters and tens of thousands of ticket-buying audience members!
With such a large flow of people, an unidentified and suspicious person managed to sneak in.
This should not be underestimated!
After a while, another soldier ran in: "Elder Ji, Linnaeus requests an audience!"
"Hmm?" Old Ji was taken aback. "The official competition is tomorrow. Why is this kid not preparing for the competition? What's he doing here all of a sudden? Has he figured something out?"
Then he waved his hand and said, "Let him in."
Soldier: "Yes, sir!"
Soon, Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er walked in together.
Old Ji squinted at Lin Nai: "What, little one, have you come to a decision? Decided to join Dark Moon?"
"Huh?...Oh, no."
"Then why aren't you preparing for the competition? What are you doing here at this time?"
Linnaeus said, "You should have noticed by now that someone has infiltrated the race town."
Old Ji immediately raised an eyebrow: "How did you know about this?"
Linna said, "Just now, I saw several reconnaissance soldiers rushing out. It must be because of this, right?"
"..." Old Ji paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know who the other party is?"
"I think I probably do."
What do you mean by "know roughly"?
"I need to introduce you to someone first." Lin Nai glanced at Wan Ye'er beside her.
Old Ji glanced at Ye Wan'er, his expression changing slightly: "You are the war weapon of the Black Angel clan who are staying in Ye City, Ye Wan'er?"
"Hmm..." Night nodded timidly.
Old Master Ji gave a kind smile: "Breaking the Ice's niece is indeed as shy as the rumors say."
Lin Nai was somewhat surprised: "You know her?"
"Nonsense." Old Ji rolled his eyes at him: "Back then, the Night Watchmen of Ye City negotiated with Breaking Ice, and the result was that she was allowed to stay in Ye City temporarily. Who do you think was the one who ultimately gave the official approval?"
Linnaeus: "..."
"So, what does this have to do with her?" Old Ji asked.
“The person who infiltrated the event town was here to take her back,” Linna said. “He’s a demon from the Black Angel plane, from Breaking Ice, their rival company. Conservatively speaking, he’s at least at the Myriad Realms level.”
