Chapter 431: Distorted Underlying Logic
Xia Lin did not just find out the location of the Brotherhood's headquarters from that energetic individual.
Besides this, there is another thing.
The purpose of this group of people coming here.
They came here to cause trouble for two purposes.
1. Kill Xia Lin.
According to that energetic person, a big shot had issued a wanted list for Xia Lin on the black market, specifically demanding Xia Lin's head.
This reminded Xia Lin of the driver's words when he first used the Old Ones: "Xia Lin? Someone wants your life!"
Well, now even the dark side of the Seventh Prince Wang Yanqing has been revealed: he is the big shot who issued a wanted order for Xia Lin on the black market.
But Xia Lin only had to think about it briefly, and he realized that even in the dark, Wang Yanqing was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
There is a connection between reality and the dark side.
The more powerful it is in reality, the more powerful its symbol in the dark side will inevitably be.
However, strength in reality is mainly reflected in individual strength, while strength in the dark side is reflected in power, money, and perhaps superpowers? And so on.
In short, Xia Lin didn't think about Wang Laoqi's problem for the time being.
In addition to killing Xia Lin, this group of people came to the building to cause trouble for a second purpose.
——Help Wenyu Group and attack Xianze Group’s major physical industries...
After hearing this, Xia Lin took a deep breath and lamented that the business wars here were really simple and unpretentious.
But there is no doubt that the symbol is connected with reality.
After sorting out the known situation on the dark side in his mind, a series of thoughts flashed through Xia Lin's mind.
The most terrifying aspect of the Old Ones' ability lies here...
In reality, facing Yang Zhe's pursuit, Xia Lin has almost no way out - weak is weak, strong is strong!
The weak must be beaten.
But on the dark side, things are different.
Reality interferes with the dark side, and the dark side symbolizes reality.
There is nothing we can do in reality, but there is another solution in the dark.
Just take the current business war between Xianze Group and Wenyu Group as an example, there is an opportunity that can be exploited.
"Even the way to achieve absolute balance may have to start from here."
Fortunately, after coming to the Dark Realm, the Old Ones' Advent gained new buffs, allowing Xia Lin to open the Old Ones' Advent for a long time.
There is a lot of room for maneuver here.
In the reality of his right eye, Xia Lin had already hidden in a refuge cave deep in the city, ignoring the battle between Yang Zhe and the Immortal Emperor in the outside world.
With the Immortal Emperor standing in front, the flow of time in reality and the dark side is different. Xia Lin has plenty of time to slowly lay out his plans in the dark side.
In the dark side of his left eye, Xia Lin closed the webpage and looked at the special app on his phone.
This app logo is unique, with black and white mixed to form a complete Tai Chi fish.
White seems to represent the real world.
Black represents the dark world.
The mixture of the two means connecting reality and the dark side.
There is no doubt that this thing is Xia Lin's greatest reliance in the dark.
This time, Xia Lin opened the app, entered the software, and conducted a more detailed function exploration.
The pages within the entire app are simple and clear.
The three items of attributes, talents, and skills occupy the main body of the page in the form of white text on a black background.
Below the main body, there are two simple buttons.
[Skill Mall], [Other Mall].
The skill mall is where Xia Lin chooses skills.
Currently, Xia Lin can acquire two more skills of B level or below, which he has to choose from the skill mall.
The skill products included in it are all the skills recorded in the recipe book in reality - and Xia Lin took a detailed look and found that the skills in the skill mall are completely synchronized with reality.
——In other words, if a skill in reality is permanently cleared by Xia Lin using the Heavenly Dao Equation, it will no longer appear in the skill store of the Dark Side app.
Of course, this is not a big problem.
With Unstable Mutation in hand, Xia Lin theoretically possesses an unlimited number and variety of skills.
Then look at [Other Malls].
This is a mystery that Xia Lin has not explored.
Click on the [Other Malls] page to enter.
The first thing that appeared in Xia Lin's eyes was a new line of data.
[Current completion rate of the Dark Side of the Old Ones: 42.7%.]
[Current dark side assets: 13,896 yuan.]
[Note: 0.01% completion of the Dark Side of the Old Ones can be converted into 10,000 yuan in cash assets.]
[All goods in other malls will be exchanged for equivalent Dark Side assets.]
It is easy to understand the meaning of these sentences.
Dark assets are Xia Lin’s worth in the dark world - in the dark world, Xia Lin’s house is rented, and he only has 13,000 yuan on him, which is all Xia Lin’s belongings.
However, because the Spirit World Book connects reality and the dark side, the completion of the Spirit World Book's old dark side can be transformed into assets in the dark side.
All other items in the mall must be purchased with dark assets.
——Xia Lin can consume the completion of the old dark side of the Spirit World Book and gain greater advantages in the dark world.
"Okay, okay! You have to cheat! Who will play with you if you don't?"
Xia Lin glanced at the other merchandise with great satisfaction, noting that the items inside were diverse and complex.
There is a skill slot expansion capsule - which can help Xia Lin expand a skill slot, with a maximum of ten skill slots.
The selling price is 100,000 yuan.
There are various thermal weapons, and the technological content extends from modern times to the interstellar era.
Prices vary.
There is a superpower potion. If you drink it, there is a 30% chance of gaining superpowers, and a 70% chance of genetic collapse and death.
The price is 50,000 yuan.
There is a superhuman mixture. After taking it, there is a 90% chance that you will gain super powers such as Cyclops, Man of Steel, carbon-based photosynthesis, etc., and there is a 10% chance that you will turn into a pool of mud.
The price is 5y yuan.
These surreal options forced Xia Lin to think divergently and consider whether there were supernatural forces in the dark world...
Well, there is a high probability.
Take the driver who previously symbolized Zhu Xing, for example. He was so strong that he didn’t look like a normal person. Xia Lin didn’t believe that he hadn’t undergone some weird transformation.
In short, after a quick scan and secretly noting down the products that he might be able to use, Xia Lin opened the [Skill Mall] page again and bought a skill without saying a word.
[Bone Transformation (Rank B): Active skill. Consumes 2 points of mental power to change your body shape and appearance. This skill has no cooldown. Every 3 hours of transformation consumes an additional point of mental power.]
A decent camouflage ability, but it's just a camouflage ability.
Considering that the upper limit of the skill level Xia Lin can obtain in the dark world is B, this skill is just right.
…
Due to the sudden chaos, daily work came to a temporary standstill.
Police officers went from floor to floor of the CBD building, conducting routine questioning.
Xia Lin was also questioned by the police.
But rather than cracking down on the Vitality Group, the police in the dark world are more of a formality.
They asked some meaningless questions, got some meaningless answers, cleaned up the mess, and left.
It’s a pity that Xia Lin still wanted to meet Xianze in person...but he didn’t see him.
Perhaps such dynamic group fights are commonplace in the dark world, and such trivial matters are not worth Xianze's personal intervention.
By the time the police left, it was almost noon.
Xia Lin came to the manager's office just as he was about to get off work and asked for annual leave from his young but pretty female boss.
all the best.
Only after walking out of the CBD building did Xia Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking back at the building behind him, Xia Lin's eyes were dim, but he knew that there would be a day when he would come back.
Asking for leave is just asking for leave, Xia Lin will not quit his job.
Since most things in the dark side are symbols of reality, what do my job and Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. symbolize?
Symbolizes one's own background and camp?
But what backing or faction does Xia Lin have?
In short, I vaguely feel that there are still secrets to be uncovered here, but now is definitely not the time to consider this.
Annual leave is only seven days.
Xia Lin needs to resolve the problem between Yang Zhe and Absolute Balance within these seven days.
He took a Didi and headed towards the city suburbs. After about thirty minutes' drive, the car stopped and Xia Lin got out. What came into his sight was the dirty and messy urban village.
The headquarters of the Brotherhood is located here.
…
It must be admitted that neither Yang Zhe nor the fake Immortal and Demon Emperors in this subconscious fragment are insignificant existences.
This is reflected in their status in the dark world, which is actually not that high...
Xia Lin is just an ordinary employee.
The fake Immortal and Demon Emperors were just entrepreneurs from a third-tier city with a net worth of over ten billion.
Yang Zhe is the boss of a dynamic social group. He makes black money and his wealth is estimated to be quite large. He has hundreds of subordinates who are capable of murder, arson and all kinds of evil.
It’s awesome, definitely awesomer than most people.
But if you say it's very high-end, it's not very high-end.
The entire urban village is the territory of the Brotherhood.
When you walk in, you can feel the smell of fireworks.
The narrow and dirty streets are full of street vendors with carved dragons and painted phoenixes.
They gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and bragging, or playing cards and gambling.
No need to ask, these are all members of the Brotherhood Alliance and Yang Zhe's subordinates.
Long before, Xia Lin had already used the bone-changing technique to change his body shape, so entering the urban village did not cause any side plots.
However, he himself is not a member of the Brotherhood, so he cannot access the symbol of Yang Zhe in the dark, let alone enter the headquarters of the Brotherhood.
But it didn't matter. Xia Lin didn't come here to launch an armed raid and kill Yang Zhe directly - that risk was too great...
At this moment, Xia Lin disguised himself as a newly graduated college student and came to this city to make a living, wanting to rent a house here.
He asked questions, inquired, and talked with people along the way, but did not attract anyone's attention.
It was not until the afternoon that Xia Lin finally moved his feet and pretended to walk towards the village casually as several vans drove into the urban village.
The vehicle stopped in front of a small duplex in the urban village.
Several burly men walked out of the car. They were not surprised to see the unfamiliar Xia Lin, and did not chase him away. One of them came to the first car, opened the door, and the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance: Yang Zhe, walked out from the passenger seat with a grim expression and cursed.
"Damn it, I didn't do my job well and the mess I made wasn't big enough!"
"Four of my brothers died, isn't that enough strength?!"
"Wen Yu, you bitch, how dare you steal my money? You're not going to accept my toast, so you'll have to drink the wine for me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Xia Lin couldn't tell who was more powerful in the dark worldview: an entrepreneur with a fortune of over one billion or a gangster boss with hundreds of people under his command.
But from a realistic perspective, the power of these two in the dark side is probably not much different.
Xia Lin was delighted to hear this, realizing that Yang Zhe and Wen Yu in the dark had a minor conflict.
In the reality of the right eye, Yang Zhe and the Immortal Emperor were fighting fiercely, both of them were fighting with all their might, but the Demon Emperor had not yet appeared...
You see, this is right again.
I guess Yang Zhe in reality also began to feel dissatisfied with the Demon Emperor - I have fought so hard, and you are still watching the show. Do you really want to use me as a knife?
The more Xia Lin read, the more interesting it became.
Until Yang Zhe noticed Xia Lin looking at him with curiosity.
"What are you looking at!?"
His voice was like a loud bell and his face looked ferocious.
Yang Zhe in the dark side is tall and strong, at least two meters tall, and his muscles are even stronger than that of Zhu Xing's symbol!
In addition to this brotherhood, Xia Lin has reason to believe that Yang Zhe himself in the dark also possesses considerable individual strength.
Xia Lin shrank his head, pretended to be weak, turned around and left.
Walking out of the urban village and standing on the sunny street, Xia Lin whistled, feeling very happy.
After renting a shared bicycle, Xia Lin headed towards the city and found a public toilet along the way. When Xia Lin came out again, he had become the subordinate who had just opened the car door for Yang Zhe.
It can change bones and achieve outstanding results.
It would be a pity not to use this skill to cause trouble.
Touching the remote-controlled explosives in his arms that he had spent 5,000 yuan to buy through the app, Xia Lin's mouth twitched, revealing a cold arc.
Join forces with demons to fight against immortals?
Yang Zhe, you have a nice idea!
…
Wenyu Group headquarters building.
The man named Wen Yu walked towards the parking lot under the escort of bodyguards.
He had just finished a call with Yang Zhe. Yang Zhe's tone was quite dissatisfied during the call, but he did not break up with him in the end.
Wen Yu also tried to persuade him in a kind way, saying that if Xianze Group collapsed, he would share up to 200 million in profits with Yang Zhe.
The alliance has been stabilized for the time being.
Given the current situation, it is time for Wenyu Group to take action.
But deep down, Wen Yu was not very confident about Yang Zhe.
He wasn't very familiar with this person, and they were in different circles.
It was actually Yang Zhe who wanted to make some illicit money and came to him on his own initiative. Coincidentally, he was also fighting fiercely with Xianze, so he simply agreed to Yang Zhe's request for cooperation.
When they arrived at the underground parking lot, the bodyguard opened the car door and Wen Yu got in.
The sound of vehicle engines began to roar.
However, this roar was mixed with a hint of strange noise.
The sound fell into Wen Yu's ears, causing Wen Yu to react instinctively!
——With inhuman strength and speed, he kicked the car door open and rolled out of the car.
The next second, fire and steel burst out, lighting up the entire underground parking lot.
Wen Yu lay on the ground for a moment before slowly getting up, with flames dancing in his eyes.
The bodyguards in the remaining cars immediately got out and surrounded Wen Yu in the center.
Wen Yu pushed the bodyguard away and walked to the wreckage of the vehicle.
His face was injured by the explosion and blood was dripping from the wound. However, soon, the wound on his face began to heal against common sense.
The voice came from Wen Yu's mouth.
"Find it. Check the surveillance. I want to know who did it within three minutes."
…
It won't take three minutes.
In just over a minute, the people from Wenyu Group had already retrieved the murderer's appearance from the surveillance footage.
——Xiong Weiye, the double-flowered red stick under Yang Zhe.
This scene made Wen Yu laugh out of anger.
"He's a bastard indeed!"
Wen Yu was too lazy to analyze whether someone was causing trouble, nor did he want to think about whether this was the work of a person with super powers who could transform.
He doesn't care about framing others...
The reason is simple: Yang Zhe himself is not trustworthy, and this explosion completely destroyed the fragile trust between the two.
The man stepped forward and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Boss, do you want to..."
In Yangcheng, if one can get a fortune like Wen Yu, it must not be pure.
Wen Yu thought about it, then shook his head and said, "No rush. Clear the surveillance footage and tell everyone that it was Xianze who did it."
As he said that, he took out his cell phone and called Yang Zhe.
The moment the call was connected, Wen Yu's eyes were cold but his tone was friendly and warm.
"Brother, I almost got fucked by Xianze's people just now. If you can move a little bigger and faster, the price and everything else can be negotiated!"
Yang Zhe on the other end of the phone laughed out loud: "OK brother, watch my show!"
…
In reality, within the fragments of the subconscious.
The battle between Yang Zhe and the Immortal Emperor is becoming more and more intense.
The two of them were already angry with each other.
And now all that is needed is for the Demon Emperor to take action, and that will probably put an end to the matter - things have reached the point where the Demon Emperor can take action.
The Demon Emperor had even stood up, preparing to launch a sneak attack with an absolute balance...
However, in the dark side, at the moment the explosion occurred, the fake Demon Emperor suddenly stopped his move and frowned slowly.
"I suddenly feel that this person's origins are strange and untrustworthy... He might even be a setup set up by the fake Immortal Emperor."
On the side, Victor suddenly said: "That's possible."
As the Demon Emperor finished speaking, he sat back in his chair.
"So, I think watching them fight to the death seems to be a good choice..."
Victor One-Eye spoke in unison: "Yes, that makes sense."
The hatred between the two emperors of immortals and demons is as deep as the sea, and killing each other is their underlying logic.
Logically speaking, with the Demon Emperor's character, as long as he saw the opportunity to kill the Immortal Emperor, he would not consider whether this was a trap or whether Yang Zhe had other plans.
But at this moment, the Demon Emperor's eyes looking at Yang Zhe clearly revealed disgust that was no less than that towards the Immortal Emperor.
This is the most terrifying feature of the Old Ones.
It can distort the underlying logic of those who are infected!
…
Of course, this is a fact that Xia Lin has long been aware of.
The Old Ones come with this ability.
After walking out of the parking lot, Xia Lin found a deserted place and changed his form again.
The huge consumption of mental energy made Xia Lin's brain a little dizzy, but it did not prevent Xia Lin from humming a little tune happily.
In the reality of the right eye, the Demon Emperor has not yet taken action.
Xia Lin estimated that after the explosion just now, Yang Zhe would never receive the help of the Demon Emperor in his lifetime.
As for whether he was worried about Wen Yu in the dark, whether he would be blown to pieces by his own soul-piercing attack...
Xia Lin actually doesn't care much.
It symbolizes the death of Wen Yu and the death of the fake Demon Emperor in reality.
But Xia Lin didn't care even if the fake Demon Emperor in this subconscious fragment was dead - it was nothing more than waiting to deal with Yang Zhe, and then looking for a subconscious fragment containing the Demon Emperor.
The dark world lacks everything, but it does not lack the fake Immortal and Demon Emperors.
After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of anything unusual happening at the Wenyu Group headquarters.
This made Xia Lin certain that Wen Yu in the dark world was not dead.
"He can't even be killed by bombs, that's pretty amazing! He probably has some special abilities... I wonder how strong Wen Yu is in the dark side. What symbol of absolute balance is Wen Yu in the dark side?"
He shook his head and suppressed these doubts in his heart for the time being.
Xia Lin rode the shared bicycle again and leisurely returned to the urban village where the Brotherhood Alliance was located.
We ordered some wine and snacks in a small restaurant at the village entrance to entertain ourselves.
Until night falls, the vehicles roar.
A total of eight different cars, carrying nearly a hundred people, set out from the urban village and drove towards the villa area in the suburbs.
The one who took the lead was none other than the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance, Yang Zhe!
Tonight we will raid Xianze, Yang Zhe will personally take action!
Seeing this scene, Xia Lin put down his wine glass and left the restaurant.
I went out for a walk and bought some clothes, and used the remaining 8,000 yuan to buy some miscellaneous gadgets and potions to restore my mental strength.
About an hour later, Xia Lin took advantage of the night and returned to the urban village.
When Xia Lin appeared in front of the Brotherhood Alliance headquarters, his appearance and clothing had completely changed.
He became exactly like Yang Zhe...
…
The door was pushed open and Xia Lin walked in.
What appears before our eyes is a courtyard similar to a siheyuan.
Several men were sitting together in the yard, playing cards.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, these people all turned around and reached for the controlled knives on their bodies, but when they saw that it was Yang Zhe, they relaxed their guard.
"Boss."
"Big brother."
"Brother, why are you back so soon? Is the matter settled? Have you taken care of Xianze?"
Xia Lin looked up at the person who spoke, and his right eye showed a reflection of reality.
The battle between Yang Zhe and the Immortal Emperor is becoming more and more brutal, but at least in the short term, it is indeed impossible to tell who will win.
They still have a fight to make...
In the dark, Xia Lin shook his head.
"Come back to get something."
Changing bones and changing shapes can also change Xia Lin's voice, so there is no flaw in his voice.
The subordinates didn't ask any more questions.
Although it’s a bit strange that the boss came back quietly by himself...it seems that he hasn’t returned by car yet.
But these are not things that these people should be concerned about.
I just watched Xia Lin walk into the room. Not long after, Xia Lin walked out again, muttering something like "Hey, where did I put that thing?" as he walked into another room.
Pretending to look for something, Xia Lin was actually scouting the area openly.
After a few attempts, Xia Lin found Yang Zhe's bedroom and office.
Standing in Yang Zhe's office, Xia Lin locked the door and grinned.
"Isn't this where most of your belongings are kept?"
Yang Zhe, symbolizing Yang Zhe.
The Brotherhood symbolizes Yang Zhe's power.
So what do his bedroom and office symbolize about Yang Zhe, the military leader?
Xia Lin didn't know, so he wanted to give it a try.
