Chapter 202 Wu Huanling

Ning Feiyu's heart tightened and he quickly ran forward and jumped to the second floor.

Li Yi followed closely behind.

The rusty smell becomes stronger as you go deeper.

In the corridor, Li Yi noticed three recent footprints. He knew something was wrong and jumped onto the stairs.

In front, Ning Feiyu pushed the door open suddenly.

BANG!!! With a loud noise, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the window at an incredible speed.

Ning Feiyu lowered his eyes and immediately saw two old men lying in a pool of blood. His eyes suddenly turned red, his eyebrows raised, and he was shocked, angry, scared and distressed.

Li Yi rushed over from beside Ning Feiyu, and quickly scanned the entire place. Seeing all the traces, he knew what had happened, and immediately said:

"The person is still alive, and the wound is not too deep. I guess we got there by chance. You quickly perform first aid measures, and I will go after him."

Ning Feiyu was slightly delighted, and immediately leaned over, took out the emergency medical kit he carried with him, and sealed the bleeding wounds of the two elderly people with lightning speed.

On the other side, Li Yi's body had already quickly rushed out of the window, following the subtle traces produced around him, and leaped quickly among this group of old buildings.

The moment he saw the clear traces, the divinity behind the shoulder blades extended directly out and turned into translucent knife-shaped long wings, rapidly flapping the air. At the same time, the divinity of wind and fire was activated, boosting the airflow in front and increasing the flight speed.

In a moment, he flew to a height of several dozen meters, passed over rows of low houses, and saw figures running rapidly between the streets.

Immediately, he leaned forward slightly, and the divine power of wind and fire burst out behind him, generating strong airflow and continuously accelerating his dive.

Swoosh!!! This figure turned into a sharp white line, falling from the sky and slamming into the black shadow.

Boom!!! The wind blew violently, blowing away the accumulated materials in the alley.

By the time the black shadow noticed the movement, it was too late. He could only raise his hand with difficulty. Divine power flowed in his palm, and the fire characteristics had just been activated when it was shattered by the huge force from top to bottom. His palm fell backwards as if it was broken.

Li Yi's attack was successful. Before his body completely hit the ground, he kicked forward.

Swoosh! The instep of his foot cut through the air, making a violent whirring sound, and hit the injured shoulder of the black shadow like a heavy hammer.

Boom!!! The black shadow's shoulder exploded directly, and then the body twisted uncontrollably and smashed into the wall beside it, smashing through the thick and hard steel plate wall.

Amid the sound of steel plates shattering, the black shadow's body pushed into the wall, half on this side of the wall and the other half behind it.

This time, Li Yi saw that the black shadow was very powerful, most likely a physique of three elements combined into one, so he attacked with all his strength.

Although the person did not die, the injury was so serious that it would take at least three to five days in the medical cabin to recover.

Li Yi observed for a moment, and after confirming that the other party's signs of coma were normal, he walked forward and took off the mask of the person in front of him.

But it revealed a face that had never been seen before.

This man had rough features, a beard, and a thin scar on his forehead. He didn't look like a decent person.

However, when the patrol car of the security team in the Moon Fortress arrived and confirmed the other party's identity, Li Yiwei was surprised.

…

Li Yi frowned and said, "You mean to say that this person is a mecha master with level 3 authority? He is also a business trip personnel who is on the transit maintenance of the Moon Fortress this time, from the Fushan Ship?"

The guards were very efficient. He had only been fighting for a dozen seconds. Just as he lifted the opponent's mask, he flew over with a whoosh.

Because when Li Yi smelled a strange odor in Ning Feiyu's house, he turned on the combat recording function of his uniform, so his fight in the street was quickly explained away and he was let off by the patrol guards.

Li Yi estimated that it was probably because his level five authority played a significant role in preventing the other party from taking control of him easily.

The guards nodded and said:

"Yes, I have notified the other party's superior to come and identify him to see if his identity can be confirmed. Although our facial recognition equipment is generally fine, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are evolvers with strong camouflage abilities."

"After all, an Evolved Being suddenly went to a stranger's house and killed someone. This is very strange. Sir, do you have any clues?"

Li Yi squatted down and fiddled with the body of this three-in-one strong man. After a while, he said:

"This guy might be controlled by someone, probably using some kind of mental stamp or something like that. As for why, it depends on the situation of the injured person."

The guards were surprised and asked, "How did the commander know that he was being manipulated?"

Li Yi said: "He is very skilled and his body is in a state of being tempered by thousands of hammers. Although he is only at the third level of authority, he is indeed a rare master."

"When he faced my combo, he still had some strength to fight back, but he let me beat him like this. This shows that he probably didn't have enough fighting spirit and wanted to lose."

The guard immediately took out his equipment and carefully watched the battle video recorded by Li Yi's uniform. He kept slowing down the video and nodded slowly after a while: "That seems to be the case. The man's arm was broken by the first blow. When the commander kicked out before landing, he did seem to be hesitant about whether to kick back."

Li Yi said: "Besides that, it stands to reason that there should be no chance for the two old men to survive after he killed them, after all, his physique is equivalent to that of a strong man with three elements combined into one. But the result is that they still have some energy left, which means that he hesitated when he attacked, or deliberately chose a position that would not be immediately fatal."

"Moreover, the knife he used for the assassination had not been wiped clean, leaving many bright blood spots along the way. I'm afraid he also wanted to expose the matter as soon as possible."

"These doubts prove that this person probably did not complete this assassination mission out of his own will."

The security officer also thought it made sense and asked his partner to go to Ning Feiyu's house to investigate and confirm the situation.

…

After a while, Ning Feiyu rushed over.

"My parents' condition has improved and they are currently receiving treatment and recovering in the medical cabin."

This is also the benefit of the advanced medical technology in this era. As long as a normal person is still breathing, there is a great chance of saving him.

Li Yi asked: "Do you have any idea about your parents being assassinated?"

Ning Feiyu shook his head and said, "I can't imagine why ordinary technicians like them would be assassinated."

The guard said, "Sir, you are the family of the injured. I have just checked. Your father recently discovered a new self-circulating fern that could change the entire lunar fortress. It is very valuable. Maybe their assassination is related to this."

"Because apart from this, your father and mother have nothing else that might cause concern."

Ning Feiyu fell silent immediately. Before she went home, she greeted the two old people, but she had never heard them mention this matter.

Did they not mention it because they thought it was unimportant, or because she had never been interested in it?

When she thought that if she had not come back by chance today, the bodies of the two old people might not have been discovered until they had cooled down completely, and it would have been too late by then, she felt both relieved and guilty.

Li Yi was thinking, why is it such a coincidence? Is there any inevitable connection between these two things? Thinking about it, he looked at the bearded man again, walked over, and simply stimulated him with micro-electric properties to wake him up.

Of course, in order to prevent this person from having any hidden killer moves, he kept his palm on the opponent's head. As long as the opponent dared to attack, he would instantly activate the absolute 0 degree feature.

With his now-multiplied absolute zero degree characteristics, I believe this person will be frozen soon.

Sizzle.

As fine arcs of electricity flashed, the bearded man slowly opened his eyes.

"Tell me, why did you attack Expert Ning?"

"Expert Ning?"

The bearded man looked confused for a moment, then he reacted, and a look of shock and pain flashed in his eyes.

He murmured, "Really? Have I already done it? Expert Ning is dead?"

As he repeated these words, his body, which seemed to have been tempered by thousands of hammers, slowly shrank and became soft like a balloon with air leaking out.

Witnessing this scene, everyone's pupils shrank.

What's going on? Ning Feiyu observed and said in surprise:

"His physique, which originally seemed to be equivalent to the integration of three elements, has actually fallen to the ordinary upper level. What method is this?"

Li Yi asked: "From your tone, it seems that you are not willing to kill Expert Ning. Please tell us the situation in detail."

The bearded man looked disheartened and said in a low voice:

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"All of this can be attributed to that nightmare-like man, Lin Huanwu."

When Li Yi heard the name this time, his eyes moved slightly. Wasn't this the pseudonym Wu Huanling had used before? Could it be that this assassination was once again related to him?

The bearded man continued, "I am Gu Haoyun, a member of the Fushan Ship's standing team. Three months ago, while I was at a transit point escorting resources, I met a mecha master who called himself Lin Huanwu. It was said that he was from the Sun Chaser."

"While waiting for the transfer and resupply, he came over to chat with me. He knew everything about my situation and said that he had heard a friend know about me. He felt sorry that my soul was hurt and I could not make any progress."

"He is a very charming man. I unknowingly regarded him as my confidant. I believe that there will never be anyone in my life who understands me better than him."

"After that, even though we were separated and not on the same ship, we kept in touch often."

"Until half a month ago, when he learned that I would be traveling to the moon to escort a batch of resources and perform maintenance and updates on the small starship, he told me that there was a secret safe house that he had built privately in the Moon Fortress."

"In there, there is a way to heal my soul."

"I had already become his confidant by then, and I had a kind of uncanny trust in him. I had no doubts about him, and I had no doubts at all about why he had the energy to build his own secret safe house in such a well-protected lunar fortress."

"Two days ago, after I arrived on the moon, I followed the route instructions he gave and reached the target location."

"There, I saw a huge machine, a complex machine that looked like a virtual reality mother machine."

"After arriving, he informed me that my soul was injured. The essence of it was that my ego and superego could not establish an effective connection, which made it impossible to make any further progress."

"And this virtual mother machine was specially modified for me by him by an expert. It is a repair treasure that belongs only to me and is the greatest gift he has given me."

"At the time, I was deeply moved and without hesitation followed his instructions and put on the link helmet of the mother machine."

"When I woke up, I found myself trusting Lin Huanwu even more fanatically."

"I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but deep down in my mind, I kept throwing away these doubts."

"This is not a thought stamp. I am more or less an upper-level evolver, so I am still wary of thought stamps."

Hearing this, Li Yi asked: "So, after you woke up, you were strengthened from an ordinary upper-level evolver to a three-in-one evolver?"

The bearded man's face became worse and worse. He coughed several times and said:

"No, my body suddenly swelled up when I suddenly received Lin Huanwu's order to assassinate Expert Ning and his wife in the middle of the night yesterday. But at that time, it was only slightly strengthened, not to the level of three elements merging into one."

"The order also requires me to seize their research materials."

"However, when I received this news, I became a little alert. The little bit of conscience left in my heart told me that I must stop myself from doing stupid things."

“In this mood of resistance, my body became stronger, and as my body became stronger, my resistance became weaker.”

"In this way, I dragged it until the sixth standard, and then I made up my mind to assassinate him. I followed the route guided by Lin Huanwu and quickly headed to the target location."

"You will know later. Not long after I took action and had just obtained the information, you rushed over."

"After the fight, I was a little more sober. When I heard the noise, I panicked and just jumped out the window and ran away."

"Behind, you beat me like this."

Having said that, Gu Haoyun coughed up some blood and smiled bitterly.

Li Yi nodded slightly. The timeline now matched for the time being. However, there were still some doubts.

For example, why was the assassination order issued just last night?

Ning Feiyu crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes remained menacing, and he said nothing.

The security guard was also recording the entire process, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"What kind of character is Lin Huanwu? He is so cruel."

Li Yi thought for a moment and asked, "You said you received the assassination order at midnight yesterday. So, when did you receive the order?"

Gu Haoyun pondered for a while and said slowly: "It should have been a few minutes before dawn last night."

Hearing this, Li Yi's eyes moved slightly.

Isn't this the time when he took out the fragments of the Immortal Core?

Could it be that it was his actions that triggered Wu Huanling's assassination order?

In other words, Wu Huanling is also eyeing these fragments of the immortality nucleus?

Moreover, Lao Zhang’s death at that time was also closely related to the gourd man!

Li Yi immediately squatted down and searched Gu Haoyun's body.

After a while, a storage card and a pass card were found.

"This pass card is the door lock of Wu Huanling's secret safe house?"

Gu Haoyun nodded slowly and coughed again.

The guard asked, "Sir, this criminal's body doesn't seem right. Should we put him in the medical cabin first and ask him later?"

Li Yi said: "Yes, his aura is indeed declining rapidly. It seems to be the sequelae of the temporary method of strengthening his body. Remember to keep an eye on him."

As he spoke, he took out his personal communicator and inserted the memory card, ready to check whether there was anything in the data and why Wu Huanling attached so much importance to it.

At the same time, he also wanted to confirm whether this was related to the fragments of the immortal nucleus.
