Chapter 308 Bai Tang's Suspicion
In the evening.
An industrial park solely owned by Shengzong Group in the suburbs of Donghai City.
Underground base.
The steel tunnels that extended in all directions, with a silver-white oval hall as the center, extended to every corner like a spider web. From time to time, researchers in work uniforms hurriedly walked to various locations. At intervals in the base, silent and cold security personnel could be seen. They had no guns in their hands, but just scanned quietly.
“Tatta…”
On one of the main roads leading to the Oval Hall.
A sound of overlapping footsteps was heard.
The leader was an elderly professor with a bald head and bat-wing-like hair on both sides. He had a shiny forehead, wore a white coat, thick glasses, and held a stack of documents and reports in his hands.
Behind the professor, there were two young figures, a man and a woman.
The boy on the left is also wearing a white coat, and you can vaguely see the blue jeans and casual canvas shoes underneath. He is about 1.75 meters tall, thin, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a soft and fair face. It always seems that the other person is smiling, and his temperament is refreshing.
"Teacher, what happened?"
"Why did the base call us here from our vacation?"
The boy asked as he followed behind.
Up ahead, the bald professor replied as he flipped through the documents in his hands.
"Bai Tang, there's no other way in our line of work. Even if you're on vacation in the group, it's useless. Once there's an emergency, you have to get there in time..." He answered the boy's second question before continuing.
"Something did happen. Late last night, a metal knight-class mecha that was out on a mission was damaged. The location was less than an inch away from the transparent chamber where the Grand Void Pill was suspended. The supervisor has sent me several pictures..."
"What? Metal Knight level?"
Bai Tang was slightly stunned, and then he realized that the matter was not small. Even in the Eastern giant like the Shengzong Group, the Metal Knights were definitely considered high-end combat forces. Who could have injured the Metal Knights?
“Yes.”
In front, the bald professor handed the photo to his little apprentice.
Bai Tang took it and took a look.
It was a powerful, exquisite, and majestic Void Guardian. The huge body, three or four meters tall, exuded a sense of magnificence and elegance. But on the chest, next to the energy core, the Taixu Pill, there suddenly appeared a huge and deep palm print, surrounded by traces of cracks.
"Is this... caused by a slap?"
He looked confused.
If the Urobuchi Guardian fought with other energy mechas, there would be no such wounds, at most there would be traces of energy burns. This kind of slap on the mecha, almost piercing it, is more like human flesh.
"Um."
"The mecha master said that he was a warrior from the Martial Arts Association. His body was so tough and strong that it was even harder than the Void Alloy. He activated six Abyss Snake Swords and even turned on the energy acceleration mode at the same time, and added the lightning particle spear, but it was all blasted away by the opponent's pair of flesh palms. In the end, the man still had some strength left, leaving a palm as a warning..."
The bald professor quickly closed the file.
Pushing open the door, they suddenly saw a silver-white oval hall. They walked to the right side of the experimental area and walked a few hundred meters along the passage until they arrived.
The master and his two disciples walked quickly forward and came to an observation room.
There were many researchers busy here, with documents placed everywhere on their seats, and some wearing glasses working on computers.
Bai Tang turned his head slightly, and through the glass of the observation room, he was able to see the powerful metal knight-class mecha quietly floating on the energy platform.
Next to the glass, there was a tall mecha master, who was talking to the base supervisor. He approached with some curiosity.
"The deceased cannot be identified."
The base supervisor held a few photos in his hand and spoke.
Bai Tang saw that the photo showed a deep pit that had been destroyed, and inside it was a body that had been torn to pieces. The entire upper body and head had exploded, as if it had been blown up on the spot by some extremely terrifying force.
"But what is certain is that he is a school master."
"That is, the same level of combat power as our Metal Knights."
On the other side, the mecha master hesitated for a moment and felt a little apprehensive.
"This school master died at the hands of the man who fought me last. My Urokuen Guardian, in normal condition, was probably no match for him. Later, I felt that he was unusually strong, and I wanted to use the Grand Void Pill, but it was too late. The other party had already retreated and escaped."
The few words between the two vaguely depicted what happened last night.
Several photos in my hand are constantly rotating.
Bai Tang's eyes trembled, and he suddenly noticed one of the enlarged photos taken from above, which recorded the figure of the powerful enemy. The man's whole body was emitting glazed golden light, and his body was as strong as a dragon or elephant. There were also layers of white air waves and feather-like phantoms around him, running wildly on the ground.
Although it was just a back view, but...
"This is……"
"Why do I have an inexplicably familiar feeling..."
Just when he was falling into some kind of doubt in his heart.
Outside, several mecha masters in blue uniforms walked in quickly.
Said to the supervisor.
"We're leaving."
The supervisor nodded and waved.
"Go ahead. It's time to wipe out the stronghold of the Demon Court."
"They're still holding a banquet with great fanfare..."
"Do you really think we don't know?"
…
Seven o'clock in the evening, Donghai City, Baiwan Port.
As night falls, the lights of the city shine like stars, making the harbor look like a dream. An ultra-luxury cruise ship quietly anchors here, like a city that never sleeps floating on the sea, welcoming guests to enjoy a life of luxury on board.
The cruise ship is surrounded by lights, emitting soft and bright light, interweaving a crystal clear light curtain. The whole body of the ship shines with the luster of silver metal, and the smooth lines show the ultimate industrial aesthetics. Under the reflection of the lights, it is like a silver dragon about to take off.
At the dock, several thick special cables firmly fixed the cruise ship. At the boarding gate, a long red carpet was laid. On both sides stood waiters in neat uniforms, tall, pretty, and smiling.
In the distance, luxury cars drove over. Men in formal attire walked slowly forward, holding their beautiful female companions on their right hands, and walked onto the cruise ship.
"call out!"
In the rolling traffic, a black car suddenly accelerated gracefully, stopped in place very smoothly, and the door opened with a click.
On the left, a woman in a red evening gown walked down with a generous and bright smile on her face. Her facial features were delicate and charming like a fox.
right.
A tall, expressionless man, dressed in a dark suit, looked like a thug. He didn't wear a tie, his hair wasn't combed neatly, and he only wore a pair of large black sunglasses to block his vision.
An unconcealable faint coldness lingered around like a thorn.
This person did not seem to be here to attend a luxurious banquet.
But I'm here to kill people!
"What are you going to do?"
Yao Qing put her white arm around Bai Xiao and leaned close to him and asked.
"It depends."
Bai Xiao's eyes were calm, and he had no emotion at all. He needed to ask Yao Qing to check where the storage materials of the Evil Ghost Court were, and he also needed to know the other party's garrison strength. If there were really many masters, Bai Xiao would consider his actions and would not necessarily rush in.
After all, his main purpose is to obtain the Void Crystal.
If this stronghold is not enough or not available at the moment, it is not a good idea to alert the enemy. You can just keep watching and wait for a good opportunity to make a move.
"After you get on board, you can first find someone from the Court of Demons and capture him to interrogate him. You know my methods, they can't detect them..."
Yao Qing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
In a few words, the two walked hand in hand towards the red carpet, took out the invitation, handed it to the staff, and then boarded the ship.
As expected of a luxury cruise ship, the bright lights were on, no different from daytime. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of spices and a hint of sweet wine. In the hall, hexagonal crystal chandeliers and tassel-like necklaces hung low. Elegant waiters in black uniforms walked back and forth in the aisle, holding a silver tray covered with a white cloth.
He would come closer from time to time and offer glasses of drinks to the guests.
Bai Xiao looked around, his eyes were cold and dangerous.
The guests in suits and leather shoes, with decent smiles on their faces, began to socialize and expand their network. They gathered in twos and threes, whispering about something, and laughter could be heard from time to time, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
There are several core figures in sight.
They are all extremely wealthy CEOs who control amazing resources and financial power. Naturally, people around them flock to them like flies.
However, Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Among these CEOs, there were a few with unusual auras, which he was quite familiar with. It was the process of humans gradually transforming into murderous ghosts.
"Fist slave?"
A name arose in his mind.
As time went by, more and more people filled the hall, and soon all the guests had arrived. A group of people came from the side door and appeared at the podium in the hall. The leader was a burly man in a flowered suit. He had a strong inverted triangle figure with high bulges on his shoulders.
The hair was dyed white and the hairstyle resembled a razor head.
The overall aura is as fierce as a wild wolf, and the eyes are sharp.
Next to the man was a pleasing woman, who was a foreigner from her appearance. She was plump and graceful, wearing a black slim dress, and had slightly curly red hair. On her fiery face, her eyeshadow was scarlet, with a hint of noble mystery.
Bai Xiao retracted his gaze, and in front of him were two sect masters!
No!
It should be said that one is the master of the school.
The other one is a Rakshasa-level killer!
After he mastered the strengthening of his mind, he became extremely sensitive to auras.
Bai Xiao’s guess should be almost correct.
He did not choose to take action for the time being and continued to wait silently there.
At the podium, the organizers of the cruise ship brought a number of mysterious potions and placed them neatly on the display table. In the potion was something similar to blood, gurgling and wriggling.
The woman in black pursed her red lips and looked towards the entire banquet hall.
She spoke with a hint of seduction in her voice.
"Hello everyone, I will be the host of this banquet. You can call me Catherine. Today is the continuation of the last banquet. Everyone who comes to this banquet should know that at the last banquet, we auctioned off several blood of immortality potions. At that time, many people did not believe it, thinking that the effect of the blood of immortality was exaggerated and that it was impossible to cure terminal diseases such as cancer..."
Catherine paused and continued.
"So now, everyone who has paid attention should already know."
"The blood of immortality has such an effect, it is absolutely true."
As soon as the voice fell, the billionaire CEOs stood up with red faces and responded: "Yes, I have verified it myself."
"My advanced cancer disappeared in just a few days!"
"I even feel that my body is getting stronger and stronger, and my appetite is also very good!"
Some guests looked at each other, and those who knew about it nodded slightly to show their approval. They also came to this banquet for the blood of immortality.
At that moment, a large number of newly arrived VIPs suddenly became agitated, with a faint sense of excitement. If there really was such a magical medicine, how could they not use it?
The banquet in the hall was a little chaotic. With the host's constant introductions and descriptions, the atmosphere gradually became fanatical and the air was filled with restlessness.
The only exception was a figure in black wearing sunglasses.
He was standing beside the dining table, slowly eating a lobster dipped in salad dressing and mustard. He chewed it in big mouthfuls, making the same noise as a wild animal eating raw meat and drinking blood. White Owl picked up the knife and fork and put the last piece of shrimp into his mouth.
“Tatta…”
Beside him, a figure in red who had disappeared at some point reappeared.
Yao Qing leaned close to Bai Xiao's ear and whispered.
"I have investigated clearly. Apart from the two people in the hall, there are no other masters who can meet the standards you mentioned. In addition, I just controlled a member of the Court of Evil Ghosts and learned from him the location of the void crystal in this stronghold, which is on the first floor of the cruise ship. However, the two leaders guarding this stronghold should also carry some with them. They also have..."
She then added more details, explaining each one in great detail.
On the podium.
The woman in black smiled beautifully, her red lips moved slightly, and her words were still inciting.
"The opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss it, then you will never..."
She wasn't even halfway through her speech.
A tall man who was eating in the corner suddenly turned his head slowly and looked over here. On his face, a hideous mithril mask was put on, and a pair of peacock-like amber pupils appeared.
“Bang!”
Without any warning, the man suddenly attacked.
A circle of red air exploded in the hall.
It was as if a divine bird was dragging flames and flying across the ground.
"This is a little lesson for you in the Court of Evil Ghosts. Keep it in mind!"
