Chapter 441: A Makeover
The visitor was Zhang Hai, the deputy leader of the Sanxiang Gang and one of Chaoxing's two warriors at the Guiyi realm.
However, after saying hello, Xia Lin quickly realized another thing.
Zhang Hai, the unified warrior in the real dimension, and Mr. Zhang, the intelligence dealer in the dark dimension, only have a very weak symbolic connection with each other!
This symbolic connection is so weak that no matter what happens to Mr. Zhang in the dark dimension, it will not affect Zhang Hai in reality.
Without Xia Lin asking, Zhang Hai whispered, "It's Master Chao Xing's protection."
"He used his own great power to impose some measures on me to ensure that I would not be affected by the dark side of the universe."
Xia Lin nodded in understanding.
The birth of the dark side of the universe caused quite a stir. It is no exaggeration to say that this move by the original master changed the pattern of the universe.
Later, the King of Kings did not take steps to deal with the problem of the dark side of the universe. This may be due to a hidden deal between the six pillars regarding the dismemberment of the Lord of Heaven. But on the other hand, the other pillars will not ignore the existence of the dark side of the universe.
How can I tolerate you, the original master, having the power of life and death over my subordinates?
"The dark side of the universe is terrifying. Adults can't just ignore it."
"Master Chao Xing used the power of martial arts to help me sever the connection between reality and the dark dimension in advance."
"The Lord King of Kings must have similar methods. At least from what I've seen, those Wang family members don't take the dark side of the universe too seriously... But Wang Yanshan is definitely courting disaster. I think the day he'll backfire isn't far off."
This Zhang Hai has not appeared before and has a low presence.
But these two simple sentences proved that even though his presence was not high, he still had as much information as ever.
Having said this, Zhang Hai turned to look at Xia Lin: "What about you? You are so weak, but you are so brave. To participate in this game with such strength, your gambling nature is a bit outrageous..."
Xia Lin smiled and didn't answer, but just moved closer to Zhang Hai and started to build a relationship with him.
The two were not really familiar with each other, but considering that Xia Lin and Zhou Xinglin had a good relationship, Zhang Hai loved Xia Lin and his family, so even if his attitude towards Xia Lin was not friendly, it was at least not bad.
During the brief conversation, Zhang Hai explained the reason why he came to help.
"It's just a coincidence..."
"I was on my way when I passed by here and suddenly found that the boy Binding Spirit was here and had a fight with someone."
"You know what a fight between immortals and warriors is. If I had the chance, I would definitely not let the bound spirit go...but I didn't expect that the one who fought him would be you."
Xia Lin chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, why don't you go after him?"
Zhang Hai shook his head and said, "I won't chase him anymore. I can't... At least the Soul Binding Immortal Venerable is still a member of Wang Laowu's family, so he can be considered half a member of the Wang family. My identity is not allowed to be exposed here."
Xia Lin had speculated before: the King of Kings and the Original Lord, the two Six Pillars, took action in the real and dark dimensions respectively.
Reality is the home ground of the King of Kings - even the Faceless, the number one man under the Six Pillars, dares not show up openly in the Old Days Reappearance in the first level of the Dark Realm. This is enough to prove that the overall situation in reality has been controlled by the King of Kings and the royal family.
Xia Lin, Zhang Hai and even Wumian's group were all illegal immigrants who came to steal chickens.
How can a thief do things openly?
Xia Lin thought to himself what a pity, and was still thinking of using Zhang Hai to kill the bound spirit...
Although the bound spirit is not important, it is still an enemy after all. The sooner the enemy dies, the sooner he will be reborn.
This plan really didn't work at the moment, so Xia Lin thought for a moment and spoke again.
"Then what about you, Brother Zhang..."
Xia Lin was laughing so hard that the abacus beads fell on Zhang Hai's face.
Seeing Xia Lin's playful look, Zhang Hai rubbed Xia Lin's hair hard, but his face became serious.
"Don't even think about it. It's impossible."
"I came here on another mission and cannot protect you for the entire journey."
Whatever mission Zhang Hai has, he definitely can’t tell you, Xia Lin.
So I'll take you along and help you with your support, but don't even think about it.
Xia Lin did not hide his disappointment, but then he saw Zhang Hai slap him in the chest.
The power of heaven and earth in martial arts flashed and quickly moved around Xia Lin's body, and then hid.
At the same time, the Spirit World Book also became slightly hot, but the heat soon dissipated.
Xia Lin checked himself and the Spirit World Book, but could not see anything wrong from the attribute panel.
It was Zhang Hai who spoke again: "You are being pursued... even by several groups of people."
"One is the Immortal Soul Chasing Technique. You must have been struck by it after you killed Wuxin. The Binding Spirit might have used it to locate you."
Xia Lin's eyes showed realization.
Before, Xia Lin was still wondering why the Soul-Binding Immortal Venerable could see through my disguise that was above all things in the universe, but now he has the answer.
The soul-chasing debuff when Wuxin died...
That debuff came from the hand of the Lord of Heaven, whose authority overwhelmed me and was above all things in the heavens. It was natural that the Bound Spirits and other immortals who originally belonged to the Lord of Heaven could use it to locate Xia Lin.
"The second is guidance from the main world... It seems you killed a military leader and annexed his main world... But you don't seem to have completely erased the mark of this main world. All high-ranking beings who have visited this military leader's main world can use this to locate the current location of this main world, and then use it to locate your position."
Xia Lin opened his mouth.
He also didn't expect that there was such a saying in Yang Zhe's main world.
"The third is the Spirit World Book... This is the most hidden, but also the most difficult to deal with. I discovered that someone is using the Spirit World Book to locate you. I don't even understand the specific operating principles, but I can only guess that it seems to be related to the dark side of the universe..."
Xia Lin did notice this.
The dark dimension authority of the Original Lord crushes Xia Lin's dark dimension authority.
The Spirit World Book is the key for Xia Lin to open the dark dimension, so it is natural for it to be positioned by the Original Lord.
Zhang Hai continued, "Anyway, give me some time and I can help you with the first two tracking methods, but I can't handle the third one. And I don't have time right now."
Xia Lin didn't know what Zhang Hai's mission was, but it was obvious that Zhang Hai was a little anxious.
His speaking speed had unconsciously increased a lot.
"Therefore, I have left you a stream of inner heaven and earth power, which will suppress the triple tracking methods on you and enhance the effectiveness of your concealment skills."
"But you have to be careful. The power of the inner world I injected into your body has a fixed amount. As time goes by and it is consumed, this power will become weaker and weaker. It can protect you temporarily, but not forever."
"If you want to escape, or do something else, you have to hurry up..."
Having said this, Zhang Hai seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Lao Zhou also entrusted me with something when I came here."
As Zhang Hai said this, he flipped his hand, and a palm-sized, crystal clear, thirty-six-story building appeared in Zhang Hai's hand.
On the top floor of the building, Scarlett was lying on the jade bed, her face rosy but her eyes closed, as if she was sleeping soundly.
"The research work on the Heavenly Palace has come to an end, and the property has now been returned to its original owner... As for the promotion of your servant to the Immortal Venerable Realm, as promised to you, it has also been completed."
Zhang Hai pointed at Scarlett and said, "She is currently at the final stage of her fusion with the Dao. With the Heavenly Palace's suppression and protection, there is likely no risk. You only need to wait for a while. When she wakes up, she will have reached the level of Immortal Venerable."
Without any explanation, he stuffed Tiangong and Scarlett into Xia Lin's arms.
Before Xia Lin could say anything else, Zhang Hai had already transformed into silver light and disappeared in an instant - heading towards the deeper part of the bottomless abyss.
Feeling Zhang Hai's inner power of heaven and earth in his body, looking at Tiangong and Scarlett in his hands.
Xia Lin smacked his lips.
"No, you left so hastily... I was hoping for your guidance on what to do next. And you just left like that. I'm completely lost."
Look around.
The bound spirit was repelled, and the surroundings were empty.
However, the situation in the dark world is currently extremely complex and treacherous, with crises at every step.
Xia Lin's goal is clear: to gather the power of the six pillars and try to seize the throne.
But this goal is indeed a bit too ambitious.
This also caused Xia Lin to not know how to take the first step, and where to go at this moment...
"Brother Zhang, please don't close the door. I'm almost at my wit's end."
In the dark, as soon as Zhang Hai saw Xia Lin, he immediately wanted to close the security door, but Xia Lin blocked it with his hand.
After a stalemate of about a minute, Zhang Hai finally sighed heavily.
"Come in here, damn!"
He pulled Xia Lin into the house with one hand.
…
With a "bang", the door closed, isolating the inside and the outside.
Xia Lin looked at the scene inside the house.
Dirty and messy.
Zhang Hai must be quite wealthy, as his house is quite large.
But there seems to be no hostess here, which perfectly presents the living conditions of a single man - a large number of takeout boxes are piled together, various tools and instruments of unknown meaning are placed in a mess, dirty clothes are everywhere, and the whole house exudes a strange smell.
Zhang Hai obviously didn't care about this. He just closed the door and quickly came to Xia Lin, looking at Xia Lin with a frown.
"Listen, my rule is not to meet with clients in person. I don't know what Wang Siyuan said to you, and why you came to see me. I just hope you can talk quickly and leave my house."
Zhang Hai's reality and dark side were cut apart by Chaoxing.
As a result, Zhang Hai in the two dimensions has completely different attitudes towards Xia Lin... Well, it can't be said to be different, just slightly different.
Xia Lin, who was in the dark, did not dare to turn a blind eye.
Hunger is chasing him from behind, and Xia Lin in the dark doesn't have much time left.
"I am hunted... hunger, rage, slaanesh, slumber..."
Zhang Hai, that’s Zhang Hai.
After Xia Lin spit out only four code names, Zhang Hai sighed deeply.
"Then you'd better wait for death."
Xia Lin sat down on the sofa, saying nothing, but looking at Zhang Hai with burning eyes, his attitude was very clear: If you don’t help me, I won’t leave!
Pure roguery...
In fact, Xia Lin has always used the dark side dimension as a tool.
This is an aid to reality, a weapon for killing, a codebook for decryption, but it is also false to some extent...
Similar to the subconscious fragments created by the original dark side.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xia Lin felt that the dark dimension created by the advent of the Old Ones had many similarities with the subconscious fragments... but at the moment Xia Lin could not find the specific connection between the two. Of course, this did not seem to be a very important matter.
Well, that’s getting off topic.
On the dark side, Xia Lin's style of doing things is simple and rough, and he doesn't consider many trade-offs.
And since he knew Zhang Hai's reality and dark side and had already made a cut, Xia Lin naturally wouldn't care about the life or death of Mr. Zhang in front of him.
You, either give some constructive suggestions.
Or we can have a fight.
Or I'll drag you down with me and we'll face hunger together.
Zhang Hai stared at Xia Lin for a long time, then narrowed his eyes and exhaled.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhang Hai's expression had returned to calm.
He sat next to Xia Lin and said, "For Wang Siyuan's sake, but remember, there won't be a next time."
Xia Lin nodded heavily. "Once is enough. Next time, it won't be a one-sided request, but an exchange of interests... and we'll follow your rules and not meet in person."
Zhang Hai ignored Xia Lin and slowly said, "The four code names you mentioned are all assassins secretly trained by the secret party within the government."
"Secret Party?"
"Well, it's the name of a certain party within the World Government... This party previously didn't participate in government decision-making, specializing in the analysis and research of supernatural powers. Wenyu and Xianze, who died at your hands, are a reflection of this party's technological prowess, and it's old-school, outdated technology."
"In short, this party specializes in handling matters that are not suitable for public disclosure. However, as the research on superpowers becomes more in-depth, the influence and strength of this party are also growing stronger."
"They are no longer content with operating in secret and are showing a tendency to seize power."
Zhang Hai thought for a moment before continuing, "Thunder Technology was jointly established by the government and the Wang Group. Its full name should be the Yangcheng Branch of the Abnormal Affairs Supervision Bureau."
"And the government department that invested in it wasn't the Dark Party, but the Vanguard Party. The Anomalous Affairs Supervision Bureau was established to recruit people with superpowers, cultivate potential superpowers, and fight against the increasingly powerful and uncontrollable Dark Party... However, due to some internal government events some time ago, the original purpose of the Anomalous Affairs Supervision Bureau was distorted... In short, you can simply understand that the current Anomalous Affairs Supervision Bureau is also part of the Dark Party, and can be considered a peripheral organization of the Dark Party."
It's complicated.
But if we compare it with the actual situation, it is easy to understand.
The world government of the dark side dimension symbolizes the original dark side and the original master.
The Wang Group symbolizes the King of Kings.
The Dark Party symbolizes the original master, and the Vanguard Party symbolizes the original dark side.
Some time ago, when the consciousness of the original dark side was born and escaped, it cooperated with the Old Master and gave birth to the Original Master.
So in the dark dimension, problems arose with the world government.
At present, even the Yangcheng branch of the Abnormal Affairs Supervision Bureau where Xia Lin joined is partially controlled by the Dark Party - this undoubtedly shows that in the dark dimension, the original master is unstoppable, and the original dark side and the king of kings are both suppressed by the original master!
Zhang Hai looked at Xia Lin: "So, how did you offend the Dark Party?"
"It's not just the Dark Party. Many high-ranking officials in the Wang Group have issued a black market bounty on you, wanting your life! I don't understand how an ordinary potential superpower like you could be targeted by this group of people?"
Not only did Zhang Hai not understand, Xia Lin in the dark also didn't understand...
But if you combine reality and the dark side, it becomes easy to understand - it's nothing more than a projection of reality into the dark side.
Xia Lin waved his hand: "Don't worry about it. Just tell me, what should I do now?"
Zhang Hai stood up and began pacing, racking his brains for a solution.
About three minutes later, Zhang Hai suddenly clapped his hands: "Got it!"
He quickly came to Xia Lin and asked solemnly, "You have the ability to transform, right?"
Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes."
Zhang Hai's intelligence system is really amazing. It seems that he can deduce that Xia Lin has the ability to transform from the process of Xia Lin killing Yang Zhe.
After getting Xia Lin's response, Zhang Hai immediately went to the bedroom to rummage through the drawers.
Soon Zhang Hai came in front of Xia Lin with a stack of documents in his hand.
He placed the document in front of Xia Lin, who looked down at it.
What comes into view are passports, identification documents, and files.
【Chu Chen.】
【male.】
32 years old.
[Business Manager at Qinglin Venture Capital, Wang Group.]
"Change your identity..."
Zhang Hai looked at Xia Lin and said softly, "Change your identity, avoid the pursuit of the secret party first, and then find a way to survive."
"The Wang Group is one of the largest conglomerates in the world. They have deep collaborations with world governments, and their relationships are far closer than most people imagine."
"I'll give you a new identity and you'll join the Wang Group... Even if the Dark Party targets you, they won't dare to take action against you without evidence."
"In the current situation, this is the only thing you can do... Consider your life first, then consider other things!"
Xia Lin was silent for a moment, then took the file from Zhang Hai and said solemnly, "Thank you."
…
It was like an epiphany.
In reality, Xia Lin's eyes fixed and he had an idea.
He really should change his identity.
He is more qualified to change his identity.
Just like Xia Lin’s ability system, everyone has it, and Xia Lin also has a bizarre number of tracking methods.
The Immortal Emperor's, the Wang family's, the original ruler's.
Fortunately, Zhang Hai appeared and helped Xia Lin temporarily hide these tracking marks.
If before, Xia Lin disguised himself and infiltrated the enemy, it would be equivalent to walking into a trap, but now, he can indeed do it.
In the dark side of his left eye, Xia Lin looked at the text in the file.
"Chu Chen, Qinglin Venture Capital Company."
Qinglin Venture Capital Company reveals the owners of this company - Wang Yanlin, the bachelor, and Wang Yanqing, the seventh brother.
In real life, Xia Lin had also heard of the name Chu Chen.
Chu Chen, level 12, occupation: Trap Master.
His strength is quite poor... According to the intelligence from the Three Phases Gang, this person's strength level is much weaker than the level 12 warriors Xia Lin encountered, except for the Black Domain King.
He wasn't even on the same level as Lingbao and Binding Spirit, and they were even far apart...
But this person is highly valued by Wang Laowu.
Because he was a spy from Wang Laowu's side who had infiltrated the ranks of the Lord of Heaven's Path in advance, and he made great contributions in the previous incident of "Wang Jiazi recruiting the remnants of the Lord of Heaven's Path".
Not very strong, but has a good status.
More importantly, this is intelligence information provided by Zhang Hai in the dark.
In the dark, Xia Lin came to Zhang Hai's door with documents, and suddenly turned to look at Zhang Hai.
"Just ask, how is the real Chu Chen now?"
Zhang Hai twitched his lips and said earnestly, "He accidentally provoked me, and I'm someone he can't afford to offend. So..."
He is dead.
This is a description, and also Zhang Hai’s threat.
Xia Lin smiled, opened the door and walked out of Zhang Hai's house.
When people are in the corridor, their facial features and body posture begin to change.
In reality, Xia Lin replaced a set of camouflage skills in the recipe book and also began to transform.
In the dark, Xia Lin used the car keys to open Zhang Hai's car and drove to the train station.
In reality, Xia Lin walked aimlessly deeper into the bottomless abyss with Chu Chen's face.
In the dark, about half an hour later, Hungry brought people to Monroe Community and found Xia Lin's car.
Hungry took a step forward and sniffed the smell in the car carefully.
He smelled Xia Lin and a strange aroma.
Suddenly, I felt dizzy with hunger.
"Fuck! Someone poisoned me!"
In the dizziness, flames suddenly burst out.
The flames burned the clothes, but could hardly leave any trace on the hungry body.
But this was undoubtedly a warning, and it also destroyed Hungry's clues to track Xia Lin.
It took several minutes to digest the poison he had inhaled. His eyes were heavy with hunger and he exhaled deeply.
The dark side dimension is a reflection of reality.
This leads to the existence of an underlying logic based on reality in the dark side dimension.
Just like in reality, the original master cannot do whatever he wants under the nose of the King of Kings.
In the dark dimension, there are also these evil gods that are not easy to mess with.
"Someone is helping Xia Lin..."
Hunger came to this conclusion easily.
Thinking of Wang Siyuan from Thunder Technology and the unknown existence who put an end to Xia Lin, Hungry suddenly sneered.
"Then I'll let you guys jump around for a few more days."
With a wave of his hand.
"Let's pack up first."
In reality, after Xia Lin had been walking for several days, the scenery ahead changed.
The hollow, bottomless abyss was filled with banners of all colors, and floating continents and dimensional entrances and exits were everywhere. Warships and armies were scattered across the landscape, and the aura of the twelfth level was like a signal fire, attracting everyone's attention.
And deeper in this mess, there is a crack like a sore on the world, or like the single eye of a giant. Purple energy pours out from it, condensing into a beam of light that penetrates the void and projects into the unknown distance.
This is the bottom of the abyss.
The entrance to the place where the original dark side is located is the crack in the depths.
On the dark side, it was early morning.
Chu Chen, who had just finished his annual leave, got out of the car and walked into the office leisurely amid greetings from his colleagues.
In reality, a voice suddenly sounded from the front.
"Chu Chen? You are finally here. I feel relieved when you come."
Due to the different times of entering the Abyss, the manpower of various forces is relatively scattered, and some people can only go to the depths of the Abyss alone. Chu Chen is one of them.
Along the way, the boy's luck was obviously not good and he was caught red-handed by Zhang Hai.
I don’t know if there is any old grudge between the two, or if it’s just a coincidence.
According to the dark symbolism, in reality, Chu Chen was most likely killed by Zhang Hai with an injection, but this helped Xia Lin instead.
Xia Lin looked up at the person who spoke, then smiled.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist Binding Spirit."
