"Wait! I meant no harm!"
Li Xin hurriedly raised his hands, shouted at top speed, and retreated while kicking, "Let's talk! Don't fight, okay?!"
"stop!"
He stared intently, and the steel figure stopped abruptly, performed a backflip to create distance between itself and Li Xin, and two streams of steam burst from its vents. A blue light flashed like electricity, focusing on Li Xin's eyes.
Is this a person?!
Li Xin swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his face.
Even if he had pulverized all his matter into particles, he couldn't have withstood that spiritual pressure from that attack.
Could it be Beyond 2?
How is that possible?
Looking closer, the woman and Meng Jingyuan lay in a pool of blood. In the thick dust, a man in a cloak stood at the head of the bed, holding Wang Fang's bloody head. The two women beside him were also dead, their throats slit by blades, their deaths gruesome. Meanwhile, half of the bed was pinned down by a huge boulder from the ceiling, and the place had become a ruin.
Bang!
The man threw Wang Fang's head, which rolled a distance on the ground before stopping at Li Xin's feet.
Li Xin glanced down, his brows furrowing, then looked up at the man standing there and asked, "Qin Che?"
"It's me."
Qin Che slowly stepped out of the dust and smoke, removed the cloak covering his head, and revealed a strange and dangerous smile. "Li Xin from the Underground Awakening Department, is that you?"
"It's me."
"Do you know me?" Li Xin asked.
Qin Che: "I was looking for you anyway, but I didn't expect you to show up so soon. Actually, it was meaningless for you to kill Zhou Jie's group. In my eyes, whether you come or not, you are no match for me."
Li Xin swallowed again, looked at the 'black soldier' standing in front of him, staring intently at him, and said, "And this is...?"
“He is my partner.” Qin Che sat on a boulder and laughed. “You said you wanted to talk, fine, then let’s talk. But don’t try to play tricks on me. You are only a Transcendent I. You are treated the same as other higher-level spiritual beings.”
Li Xin was truly unprepared. He was originally full of confidence, and although he came with the mindset of negotiation, he was not afraid that if Qin Che did not listen, he could deal with him in order to have an equal dialogue and achieve the demands of Wall One. However, he did not expect that what appeared at Wall One was not only Qin Che, a transcendent being, but also a helper who was at a higher level than him.
Extraordinary II... that only exists in stories and legends. In this desert, there has been no trace of them for a very, very long time.
"Qin Che...who exactly are you?"
Li Xin quickly calmed himself down. Indeed, he didn't have the strength or confidence to defeat Qin Che, but escaping was not a problem.
Matter manipulation is originally a supernatural spiritual energy technique. Although there are still many limitations due to his level of cultivation, it is not entirely impossible to escape unscathed. However... in front of this iron man, facing his spiritual pressure, Li Xin appeared slightly nervous.
In Qin Che's eyes, there was only one day left until the seventh simulation.
For the past ten days, ever since he obtained the Black Soldier, he has been constantly nurturing (recharging) it. Each time he exhausts his spiritual energy and then cultivates it back, it is also a form of training for Qin Che. His spiritual energy limit has skyrocketed from just over 400 to nearly 900.
I charged the Black Soldier many times, but it still didn't feel fully charged.
However, it is clear that Black Soldier has grown significantly since Qin Che first acquired it. Now, Black Soldier's attack has reached the level of Extraordinary II, but it has only just reached that threshold. If he wants it to become stronger, Qin Che needs to constantly recharge it.
The more energy accumulates, the more exponentially the energy core within the Black Soldier's body will increase.
This is a complex military industrial product produced by combining its energy core creation technology with living mechanical technology. In other words, inside the Black Soldier's body is a brand new 'engine' that comes from the most advanced technology of the Mechanicus and relies on psionic energy as its energy source.
It gave Qin Che tremendous confidence.
"Let's agree on the rules first," Qin Che said with a smile. "Everyone will take turns asking one question. After I answer your question, you will answer mine."
“Okay, sure.” Li Xin nodded.
Qin Che said calmly, "I come from Zhongzhou, and I belong to the Mechanical Cult."
“The Cult of Machines…” Li Xin frowned, lost in thought.
As for the forces in Zhongzhou, let alone Li Xin, even the entire First Wall didn't have much intelligence. The Royal Court might have some. The two sides were practically strangers, but they were both aware of each other's existence.
Qin Che was aware of this, which was why he referred to himself that way in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
The Mechanical Cult and Lingbi City are like two major powers, but they are too far apart to exchange anything. They have only heard of each other's existence from countless merchants traveling to and from the city.
Qin Che asked, "Did the city council send you, or did Yuan Lin send you?"
Li Xin said, "The Awakening Department only obeys the city council, but it is also controlled by only a few people."
"What is your purpose in coming to Wall Number One?"
Qin Che said, "First, a political purge; second, kill Yuan Lin."
Li Xin's expression changed again. He opened his mouth as if to ask a question, but ultimately did not speak.
"You just said you want to negotiate, so you can state your conditions."
Li Xin pondered for a while, quickly making calculations and balancing in his mind, and said: "You are very strong. Someone wants to find you through me and recruit you to join the Awakening Department to work for Lingbi. The crimes you committed here will be wiped clean, and Lingbi City will continue to support the legitimacy of the Sand Castle regime and recognize your status."
"And your answer?"
Qin Che laughed and said, "You're not all trying to win me over, are you? You must know more about Sand Castle than Yuan Lin does."
Li Xin frowned and asked again, "What's your answer?"
Qin Che said, "Okay, but Yuan Lin must die."
Li Xin remained silent for a long time before saying, "Yuan Lin can only represent the Dong Party financial group. Even within the Sen faction, he does not have full support. The city council wants to use him more because even if Yuan Lin enters the city council, he cannot change anything. The factions and power structure of the lords were established more than a hundred years ago after the collapse of the kingdom. The leap of social class is not a simple matter, even for Yuan Lin."
"Therefore, neither the Awakening Department nor the City Council will meddle in Yuan Lin's affairs, but I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Kill Yuan Lin cleanly, and don't cause any trouble."
