Ta-da~~
The sound of the helicopter propellers was extremely noisy in the air.
Finally, the sword-wielding man, who had been lost in thought with his head bowed, slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.
This time, the swordsman did not immediately make a move, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
Inside the helicopter cabin, Jian Nu's muscles trembled even more violently, and the escorting team members were also pale-faced and weak-kneed, but at least they were still able to move.
"Just to make a note of it, the aura of authority emanating from this sword-wielding figure isn't as overwhelming as I imagined."
Ye Yi said calmly.
The assistant behind him immediately jotted down Ye Yi's words.
Ye Yi, however, remained serious as he watched the situation unfold.
The helicopter circled overhead for a while before the captain responded with hand gestures.
Requesting to be parachuted in.
Ye Yi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Descent approved. Everyone prepare to parachute."
After the captain inside the cabin made a gesture of understanding, he took a deep breath, his legs trembling as he stood up and shakily took out various parachutes from the cabin and placed them next to each soldier.
Although these soldiers were pale and their hands and feet were trembling, their eyes remained firmly fixed on the parachutes.
The ready gesture reappeared on the screen.
Ye Yi felt a pang of pity, but still spoke coldly.
"Initiate the airdrop."
As Ye Yi finished speaking, the captain, carrying the unconscious sword slave, jumped out of the helicopter first.
The soldiers behind them, seeing that their captain had landed, exchanged glances with their comrades, and then jumped out of the cabin one by one, heading towards the ground.
Twelve parachutes opened over Lun City.
The twelve people floated helplessly in the air, none of them actively controlling the position of their parachutes.
It's not that they don't want to control, but that they lack the strength to do so.
Meanwhile, they were supposed to be rappelled from the helicopter, but they were too weak to move, so they opted for a parachute descent.
So in the blink of an eye, they were all on the ground.
But the moment they stepped onto the ground, they collapsed to the ground again.
Because the pressure was even more intense, they were unable to exert their strength as much as possible.
"Professor Ye, why don't we retreat? They're no longer of any use to us."
One of the generals said with some reluctance.
These generals were not afraid of sacrifice, but they feared that their soldiers' sacrifices would be meaningless.
Given the current situation, it is clear that continuing to send these soldiers forward would only result in pointless sacrifices.
That's why these generals couldn't bear to persuade Ye Yi.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi glanced at the general and then said in a cold voice.
"If we don't make these sacrifices now, the sacrifices may be even greater and the losses even greater later on, and there may even be civilian casualties. So we must be fully prepared now."
Ye Yi's tone, which was full of unquestionable certainty, filled these generals with resentment.
But soon, a voice suddenly rang out.
"A surge of heat flowed through my body, which restored some of my strength."
A hint of color returned to the captain's pale face, and he was able to speak, albeit breathlessly.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yi's eyes lit up, and he said.
"You've broken through to the Ming Jin level in Chinese martial arts. Back in the military, had you already reached the limits of an ordinary person?"
"I don't know, but according to the gymnastics routine released by the Dragon Group, I've already been able to complete a full set."
The captain hesitated for a moment before replying, then slowly stood up, carrying the trembling sword slave on his back.
Clearly, Ming Jin's strength gave him some mobility.
Ye Yi immediately assured him.
"You must have broken through to the Ming Jin level. This proves that extraordinary individuals can move around outside the sword-bearer's perimeter. But how do you feel about your strength right now?"
"It feels like I have about half the strength I usually have."
The captain sensed the changes in his body before speaking.
Upon hearing this, the entire command center was stunned, because Ming Jin masters are usually much stronger than gene enhancers. Now that Ming Jin masters have been weakened to this extent, the impact is indeed enormous.
The eyes of everyone present were filled with utter despair.
Ye Yi, however, smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good. Record this. The extraordinary individuals can move freely around the sword-wielding individual, but their strength is severely weakened."
"yes."
Ye Yi's smile seemed quite abrupt in the command room, because everyone in the command room thought it was not good news, but Ye Yi smiled, leaving everyone puzzled.
Perhaps sensing everyone's confusion, Ye Yi immediately spoke up.
"Since we know that even the most basic enhanced beings can freely move their hearts around them, it means that when our more advanced enhanced beings appear, they will be able to unleash their full power. At the same time, judging from the current situation, it seems that we can train ordinary people, thereby giving them the opportunity to break through to the Ming Jin level. This is also good news."
Words, like a machine gun, poured out of Ye Yi's mouth incessantly, leaving everyone around him somewhat dumbfounded.
But Ye Yi quickly calmed down again.
"You take the sword slave and slowly walk towards the sword-bearer. I want to see the sword-bearer's reaction."
"clear."
The captain, carrying the sword slave on his back, slowly walked towards the person holding the sword.
As for the other members, they could only collapse to the ground, helplessly watching their captain's departing figure.
At this moment, Ye Yi suddenly spoke.
"Notify these soldiers to immediately begin training in the movements according to the manual issued by the Dragon Group. I want to see if training under the pressure of the sword-wielding warrior can make their efforts twice as effective."
As Ye Yi gave the order, the soldiers gritted their teeth and began to slowly twist their bodies.
However, Ye Yi did not focus his attention on these people, but instead focused on the captain who was carrying the sword slave.
Because he is extremely important now, and the entire purpose of this operation rests on him, so everyone is now placing their hopes on him.
The captain clearly knew that all the hopes for the mission rested on his shoulders, so he walked very slowly and steadily.
Although they were moving extremely slowly, they were getting closer and closer to the sword-bearer.
1,000 meters... 800 meters... 500 meters...
The closer the captain got to the sword-wielder, the heavier his steps became.
As the captain slowly rounded the bend, he was finally able to see the swordsman.
The sword-wielder stood like a statue, his eyes still gazing blankly at the starry sky.
Just as the captain continued forward.
A voice suddenly rang out.
"If we continue forward, we will both die."
The person speaking was the sword slave that the captain was carrying.
At this moment, the sword slave was still conscious, and his eyes were very clear, but there was an unusual fear in his clear eyes, a fear of the one who held the sword.
"Stop first."
Ye Yi saw all of this through the camera and immediately stopped the captain's actions.
The captain slowly stopped in his tracks.
Ye Yi then asked.
"Who are you?"
"Ask me?" the sword slave asked, pointing to himself.
"You're probably not Chen Daqing anymore."
Ye Yi called out the name of the sword slave's true form.
Upon hearing this, the sword slave shook his head and said...
“It’s not like that anymore, Chen Daqing. We’ve already made an agreement. I’ll take over his body, and he’ll enjoy endless pleasure, and then die in that pleasure.”
"What's the meaning."
Ye Yi narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming serious.
This was because what the sword slave said terrified Ye Yi.
This sword slave was able to possess other people's bodies, while the original owners of those bodies died silently.
"You can think of us as alternative souls. I need a physical body to continue living, so we look for people who are disappointed with reality and then live in their place."
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the sword slave's mouth.
"Do you possess wisdom?"
Ye Yi asked directly.
Clearly, this question had puzzled Ye Yi for a long time.
"Of course, isn't that why you become so aggressive after we possess you?"
Ye Yi nodded indifferently, indicating that he was right.
Sword Slave continued with a smile.
"That's because when we're possessed, our consciousness is in a state of chaos. In your words, I'm a madman. A madman driven insane by torture."
Sword Slave's laughter was somewhat insane, and his expression became extremely crazed.
However, Jian Nu's words only made Ye Yi more confused.
"Were you brought by that person?"
"You mean that person? Yes, we were brought here by that person."
The sword slave pointed at the man holding the sword, his words seemingly nonchalant, but his tone was filled with fear.
"So what exactly are you?"
Ye Yi asked.
Suddenly, the sword slave's mood plummeted.
"In another world, we were all sword masters, each one capable of challenging that one to a duel. But we were defeated by him and became tools for him to hone his swordsmanship. Our physical bodies died, but our obsessions were absorbed by his sword. Within his sword, we fought madly, just to survive."
Sword Slave's mood was somewhat low, but the meaning behind his words made Ye Yi somewhat frightened.
In other words, the swordsman kills his opponent, then traps their souls in his weapon, and then lets them fight each other in a frenzy.
Ye Yi knew more than anyone else present and immediately understood that the sword-bearer was tempering the sword spirit, wanting to give birth to an invincible sword spirit to help his strength become even greater.
That's why I said that.
"Then how did you escape?"
Ye Yi asked again, puzzled.
It's obvious that your strength, as the sword-wielding man, far surpasses theirs. How could they possibly have escaped so easily?
Sure enough, the sword slave revealed a gloating smile and said.
"That's because he's also obsessed, but his obsession isn't about forging an invincible sword, so he doesn't care about us as much anymore."
Clearly, his enemy was dead, leaving only a lingering obsession, which made the sword slave very happy.
"Then what is this obsession?" Ye Yi finally asked.
At this moment, the sword slave chuckled disdainfully, then looked at Ye Yi and said.
Why should I tell you?
"Because I have the ability to keep you so clear-headed."
When Ye Yi said this, his eyes became very sharp, and at the same time, very confident.
As expected, the sword slave fell silent immediately after Ye Yi said this, his eyes filled with resentment, but he still managed a bitter smile.
"How did you discover that our consciousness was impaired?"
Ye Yi didn't answer directly, but said casually.
"I guessed, so are you willing to trade?"
The sword slave remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Okay, I hope you're not lying to me."
"Of course."
"This person's obsession is to experience what it feels like to fail."
"What do you mean?" Ye Yi's eyes instantly turned serious.
"Haha, of course it's because he's too strong, too strong, so strong that he never fails. His whole life is about pursuing defeat. If you can give him a defeat, he will surely disappear."
Sword Slave was somewhat gloating.
"It's that simple."
Ye Yi said, somewhat incredulously.
"That simple? Hahaha, the continent I originally came from has hundreds of billions of people, among whom there are countless experts. But the kid who is carrying me now is like a slave in my world, with no strength whatsoever. And you actually say it's simple?"
Sword Slave sneered.
Clearly, the Sword Slave had long understood the power dynamics of this world and obviously looked down on ordinary people and experts in the air.
Upon hearing the world described by the sword slave, everyone in the command room gasped in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
At the same time, my heart was filled with despair.
"I'm curious, why is he sitting there so still?" Ye Yi asked again, puzzled.
At this moment, the sword slave hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"I don't understand."
The answer was straightforward, but Ye Yi could tell from the hesitation on his face that he still knew something.
However, Ye Yi did not urge him any further.
But then he immediately asked another question.
"Will he move in a short time?"
"He hasn't moved at all in the past month without any external stimulation. So we should leave as soon as possible."
The sword slave urged him with some fear. Clearly, even this obsession, which brought him so close, terrified him.
After hearing the sword slave's urging, Ye Yi thought for a moment and then said softly.
"Operation canceled, begin evacuation. Oh, and Captain, make sure the sword slave behind you survives."
"clear."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Ye Yi gave the order to cancel the operation.
This means that China still has a long time to catch its breath.
However, Ye Yi always had a sense of unease, but he didn't know where this unease came from.
However, this might be the best-case scenario right now.
