The capital city, a certain park.
The sun was shining warmly over the city. There had been a heavy rain last night, and there was still water on the ground in the park. The dark clouds in the sky had not yet completely dispersed.
The bells of an unnamed building in the distance rang out several times in succession.
The morning market was filled with the faint sounds of people bustling about, and everything was peaceful and serene.
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
A spatial rift suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.
Linna, Yewan'er, and Shirley appeared atop a building.
Shirley stared blankly at the peaceful scene before her: "How...how could this be..."
Linnaeus said, "Don't you feel like you're dreaming? Like you've traveled through time?"
Sherry: "......"
“We felt the same way when we first entered Shanhai City,” Lin Nai said calmly. “But it might not be so fun at night.”
Sherry: "What do you mean?"
Linnaeus: "You'll find out tonight."
"..." Shirley looked at the people in the park with a complicated expression: "Why do these people... seem to be completely unaffected by the pandemic? Don't they know that the area outside the city is now in the apocalypse?"
“It’s not obvious on the surface, but they are actually controlled by the evil god,” Linna said. “They have no negative emotions, so even if you walk around this city countless times, you won’t see any negative people.”
Shirley paused for a moment, then looked around carefully.
indeed......
Everyone looked happy.
“And the environment of this place…” Linna looked up at the sun in the sky: “I think it must have been created by some kind of powerful force, including the weather, air, vegetation, water, insects and birds here.”
Just like the barrier ecosystem created by the sun god Kuiyang using his divine power in Shelter No. 9.
Since that evil god has the ability to command a group of lord-level demonic beings, he must also possess such power.
After pondering for a while, Ye Er softly asked, "So, what should we do now?"
Lin Nai smirked: "I left a backdoor in the system at the Dark Moon Base headquarters. We can go there and hopefully get a lot of clues."
Night paused for a moment, then said, "But, aren't all network signals cut off now?"
“Do you remember the blood sample I deliberately had Mingtian take away?” Linna said. “As long as I can infiltrate the Dark Moon base, I can reactivate the network.”
Lin Nai glanced at the timetable on his wrist: "It's nine o'clock in the morning now. I wonder if the daytime in the capital is as short as in Shanhai City. We need to hurry up and make the most of our time."
Night and Shirley nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
Three figures flashed and disappeared quickly on the rooftop.
......
The coordinates Linnaeus used to teleport through the portal were not far from the Darkmoon Base.
However, the Darkmoon Base is not located in the city, but in the dense forest on the outskirts of the city-state.
So they also needed to cross a dense, ancient jungle.
The jungle is full of traps and sentries.
However, as a former member of Darkmoon and as a former specially approved instructor of Darkmoon, Linnai was naturally very familiar with the distribution of these traps and sentry posts.
They used to conduct countless practical combat tactics tests here.
In less than an hour, the three arrived at the outskirts of the Darkmoon Base.
I saw that all-too-familiar base.
"What a magnificent building..."
Sherry exclaimed, "Is this the secret base of your Yan Kingdom's special forces?"
"More or less." Lin Nai lowered her voice: "I just explained the defensive logic here to you, did you remember it all?"
“This…” Shirley looked troubled. “It’s too complicated… I’ll probably only remember about half of it…”
Lin Nai: "Come on, stop bragging. When I first tried to memorize it, I could only remember about a third of it at most. Tell me the truth."
Sherry: "......"
"...Well, I'll probably remember about one-fifth."
Shirley felt a little embarrassed.
Linna nodded: "One-fifth is enough to help. At least you should have no problem sneaking into some less important areas around the base."
"In a moment, just follow the plan we just made, okay?"
Sherry gripped her scythe tightly: "Okay."
Linna pressed his hands together in a mudra and silently chanted the incantation: "Magic—Imitation Transformation"
With a "poof," he transformed into the appearance of another person.
Night also transforms, and at the same time helps Sherry change her appearance.
"Okay, let's get started."
"yes!"
......
Inside Darkmoon Base.
A training room.
Ming Tian sat at a table with his arms crossed, and on the table in front of him was his long sword that emitted black smoke.
He still hasn't wiped the bloodstains off the sword.
Ming Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind replaying every scene from that battle.
He should have definitely hit the target with that sword strike.
Moreover, he can guarantee that he was not under any illusion at the time.
Could it be that that person really wasn't Lin Nai?
"What, are you still dwelling on your failure?"
A man who was as thin as a skeleton but was a full 1.9 meters tall suddenly sat down in front of him, smiling sinisterly.
"I never imagined that even a disciple of Guiguzi could suffer such a crushing defeat..."
Ming Tian raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and smiled knowingly: "Are you here to kick me when I'm down?"
The thin, bony man twirled a claw knife in his hand and said contemptuously, "Heh heh, I'm quite surprised that someone like you with a 100% mission completion rate could fail one day."
"Looks like you're here to kick me when I'm down." Ming Tian chuckled. "What's wrong, Scorpion Bone? Are you still hostile towards me because Guiguzi didn't choose you when selecting disciples?"
"Hmph..." Scorpion Bone's eyes turned cold, but he didn't answer the question: "How about a fight?"
He gestured with his thumb toward the combat training room next door.
