"Sir, Lord Meng has been taken into custody by them."
On the rooftop of the opposite building, Su Jin stood behind a dozen snipers, observing the situation through binoculars. Upon seeing the situation, he made a decisive decision and said, "We must not get into a stalemate with them. Notify the third and fourth teams to block their escape routes and kill them one by one!"
"But what about Lord Meng?"
Su Jin said calmly, "Let the second team handle it. Let them act according to the situation. Of course, it would be best if they could protect the people. The other side also has psionicists, so they are not easy to deal with."
"yes!"
At this moment, a man slowly walked up from behind Su Jin and said with a smile, "If Meng Jingyuan dies, you'll have to take responsibility."
“Death is normal in war. If Lord Meng is in trouble, I can only guarantee that none of the enemies inside will escape.” Su Jin glanced at the man and said, “Why is Minister Meng here instead of attending to your own business?”
"Just browsing."
Su Jin smiled and said, "If you're here for those psionicists inside, you might as well forget it. They're my prey."
“I have no interest in them.” The man, wearing a black trench coat, puffed out a fine cigarette, his hands in his pockets, a gust of wind blowing from behind him. He said, “Both teams have been mobilized to cooperate with various departments in the bandit suppression. It’s definitely not just a matter of these few mercenaries.”
Su Jin frowned and looked at him.
The man took a drag of his cigarette and said with a smile, "The city council has just discovered that the chaos in West Castle is related to an extraordinary being from Sand Castle, and that person is very likely currently at Wall One. Yuan Lin deliberately concealed this matter, which is definitely suspicious. Our Awakening Department is investigating in secret, and we hope you can cooperate."
"Extraordinary? From Sandcastle?"
"Yes, I'm very curious about him."
Su Jin asked, "What did you find out?"
"Time is running out. The people sent to Sand Castle have not yet returned, but the target has already appeared in West Castle. Shen Xihai's death and Hong Chen's disappearance are both related to him."
"Wasn't that a purge caused by the Sand Castle coup? Shen Xihai and Hong Chen have already betrayed their government, and Sha Qingsui and Chen Fusheng will never stand idly by," Su Jin said.
The man smiled and looked at him. "You know quite a lot."
"It was Lord Yuan who told us."
The man said, “I can roughly understand his thoughts. The infighting within the Forest Group is so fierce, trying to prevent him from taking the seat of elders. So no matter how chaotic West Castle is, he has to suppress the incident. Who knows, if the situation exceeds his expectations and becomes uncontrollable, he might expose the Sand Castle coup, which could divert attention from the internal conflicts between the city council and their Forest Group.”
Su Jin sneered, "What's the use of telling me all this? I'm just a soldier."
The man laughed and said, "Yuan Lin underestimates his enemy. After all, he is a transcendent being. He had Li Qinglong sweep through the old industrial area and had you surround this place to lay a trap. Didn't his opponent see through that? Those mercenaries were just bait. Listen carefully, Meng Jingyuan must not die. As long as he is alive, the transcendent being will inevitably show up."
Su Jin asked, "Why?"
"His target wasn't in that building. Meng Jingyuan is very good at hiding people. Chaofan wanted to kill the witness sent by Jiang Tianfeng from Shabao, Wang Fang. Yuan Lin needed him, so he had Meng Jingyuan hide him long ago. Why did the enemy let Wang Fang go at the West Fort embassy? He could have killed them all..."
"They're all just bait."
Su Jin: "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I'll help you rescue Meng Jingyuan. You can eliminate the rest of them step by step. I want to use him to lure out that extraordinary person. He's very likely at Wall Number One right now!"
Su Jin suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Lord Yuan Lin invited you here?"
The man smiled, but didn't answer the question. Instead, he stubbed out his cigarette, slowly put on a pair of black gloves, and said, "Can you sense him? He's nearby."
After he finished speaking, a glint of azure light appeared in the man's eyes.
The next second, he was suspended in mid-air, his body swirling and soaring to the outside of the building opposite. His body transformed into particles, merging into the interior of the concrete wall and disappearing without a trace.
Su Jin narrowed his eyes, waved for the snipers to stop firing, and said, "Get ready to support Lord Meng."
"yes!"
...
Bang!
Chen Bao charged down to the lower floors with his gun, successfully joining up with the troops of Kuangtu and Huquan. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where's the boss?"
"He was still covering us from up there."
"Find a way to get out of here. Wang Fang isn't here at all; he's hidden somewhere else!" Chen Bao pointed at Meng Jingyuan and hit him on the head with the butt of his gun.
Meng Jingyuan was in a daze, bleeding profusely, and covered in bruises, but he was determined not to reveal Wang Fang's location and not to ruin his master's plan.
Chen Bao pushed Meng Jingyuan to the madman, who then hoisted him onto his shoulder with one hand.
The skinny cat asked, "Fourth brother, how's your injury?"
The madman shook his head. The bleeding from his severed limb had stopped slightly, and he was only slightly pale.
Hu Quan said, "Cover the madman. Second brother, you take Skinny Cat downstairs. I'm going to use area hypnosis. Let's try to get out in one go."
"What should we do, boss?"
"When things go well, I'll let him know to come down and meet us. Remember, avoid enemy sniping. They have a group of well-trained psionic experts, so don't reveal your position!"
After discussing it for a while, Hu Quan looked at Meng Jingyuan, who was being carried on the madman's shoulder, and clicked his tongue, saying, "He absolutely cannot die. After we get out, I will use hypnosis to find out Wang Fang's location."
“Alright.” The madman nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination, and said, “I will risk my life to save him.”
Hu Quan nodded, and then they began their operation together.
But at that very moment!
A burst of light appeared in the void, and countless particles quickly converged in the room to form a human shape.
"It's over. Give me this person." A black trench coat appeared out of thin air, and a man with a cold expression floated down from the sky.
Bang!
Chen Bao immediately raised his gun and fired a shot at him!
The bullet sprayed out, but passed directly through the opponent's body. At the point of impact, many luminous particles were moving and deforming, and then condensed back.
The man glanced down at his 'wound', smiled slightly, and snapped his fingers at Chen Bao.
Chen Bao's body disintegrated on the spot, turning into pieces of flesh and blood that fell to the ground. The flesh and blood were quickly solidified, like jelly.
"Second Brother!!" Skinny Cat's pupils contracted, and anger immediately surged into his mind. He pounced on the enemy.
Snap!
After the second snap of his fingers, the skinny cat was also instantly decomposed into pieces of flesh and blood, which he piled into a solidified cube.
Hu Quan's face turned deathly pale as he stared in terror at the man opposite him, saying, "The recombination and decomposition of matter...you...you are extraordinary!"
The man smiled and nodded: "My name is Li Xin, and I am the head of the Underground Awakening Department of the Psionic Organization directly under the City Council. Give me this person; I have something to ask him."
