"Night...?!"
The masked man in the black robe instinctively took a step back.
Beneath the pure black mask, Lin Nai could not see his expression, but he could sense that he clearly knew Ye Wan'er and was also very wary of this all-encompassing Black Angel war weapon.
"How so?" Linnaeus asked. "Who has the hierarchy now?"
"..." The black-robed masked man was silent for a moment, then said, "Hehe, very well... I actually forgot you had such an accomplice. Well then... we'll meet again!"
Night's crimson eyes narrowed slightly: "Farewell? Are you sure you can leave?"
As she spoke, she raised her arm, which was as pure as fresh snow, and with her slender fingers spread out, she suddenly grabbed.
Dark red flames surged forth, coalescing into streaks of fiery thorns that all coiled around the black-robed, masked man!
The masked man in black robes immediately leaped up, dodging the fiery thorns that were entangling him.
Then, he clasped his hands together with a "slap" and silently recited some kind of incantation.
The dark shadows suddenly spread!
Immediately, the figure of the black-robed masked man disappeared into the shadow realm, attempting to escape!
"Trying to leave?"
Night fell, and the child raised his hand and waved again.
Several fiery thorns suddenly turned a corner, and three of them bound the black-robed masked man's right leg.
The black-robed masked man had already half his body inside the Shadow Realm, but he was still violently pulled out by those fiery thorns!
"ah!......"
The man in the black robe and mask felt a burning pain in his calf and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
His body was pulled from the Shadow Realm by the Flaming Thorns, flung dozens of meters into the air, and finally fell vertically down, crashing heavily to the ground with a "thud".
Lin Nai put away Bai Ye and Zhui Hun, because the current situation clearly did not require him to take action.
He walked over and said, "Well, now you can take off your mask and we can have a proper talk, right?"
"..." The masked man in black robes did not respond and lay motionless on the ground.
Then, Linnaeus noticed that the black-robed, masked man's body, which had fallen to the ground, was gradually flattening, as if it had been smashed into a pile of persimmons...
Lin Nai frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss. Even if someone fell from a height of tens of meters, a level 10 apostle shouldn't be injured like this, right? And there wasn't a single drop of blood.
At this moment, Ye'er nimbly jumped down from the tree.
Linnaeus crouched down to examine the man in the black robe and mask.
He was found to be as if he were dead, completely still, his body like a deflated balloon, as if it had been flattened.
Linnaeus turned him over and removed his mask.
Beneath the mask was an unfamiliar face, one that Lin Nai didn't recognize. But when he reached out and gently touched it, the face shattered like fragile clay, crumbling into a pile of sand with a "whoosh." A mountain breeze then carried away the drifting sand...
Night came over and saw this scene: "Is it a fake?"
“No, it’s the Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell technique.” Lin Nai paused, pondered for a moment, and said, “We’ve seen this move before.”
Night: "Oh?"
Lin Nai: "Do you still remember those five people from the Five Elements Society who were wearing black, white, yellow, purple, and gray robes and tried to kidnap me?"
The child's pupils twitched in the night.
After Lin Nai said that, she immediately remembered.
That's true.
The five people who were captured by her and Linna were tied up in sacks and escaped in the same way.
and......
The black-robed man in front of me is dressed almost exactly like the five people from the Five Elements Society back then!
Both are plain-colored robes and plain-colored masks...
"Could this guy be a member of the Five Elements Society?" Ye Wan'er asked suspiciously.
Lin Nai remained silent, as he himself was also somewhat puzzled.
Judging from the method of "golden cicada shedding its shell" used by this black-robed masked man, it is indeed the same method used by those people from the Five Elements Society back then.
Even their clothes were dressed the same way.
But why did the Five Elements Society want to kill Huang Dongqiang to silence him?
Lin Nai initially believed that the extradimensional pollution incident was orchestrated by the gene company.
But now the Five Elements Society has suddenly appeared out of nowhere...
Linnaeus pondered for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.
It's really incomprehensible...
......
The sky gradually darkened.
Linnaeus and the others returned to the Night's Watch headquarters.
Huang Dongqiang is dead, but the Night Watchmen also captured several executives from gene companies.
These executives readily admitted to the gene company's deliberate dissemination of otherworldly energy, readily acknowledging that Huang Dongqiang had ordered it, with the sole purpose of profiting from the disaster.
Of course, it's impossible to get any more information out of them...
"Captain Tang, is the gene company completely finished this time?" A-Guang asked. "It shouldn't be like last time, where they just send out a person in charge to confess and that's it, right?"
"Of course not." Tang Hongshan had just returned from a meeting: "But to be precise, it is the Yecheng branch of Gene Company that has been shut down. The higher-ups have decided to completely eradicate the Yecheng branch of Gene Company, seize all its businesses, and freeze all its bank funds."
Anan, Yang Xiaochuan, and Lin Yuxi exclaimed in surprise: "Holy crap..."
