Chapter 056 Reese Group
Suburbs of Raqqa
The gloomy bungalow factory stood silently in the desolate place. The thin bare trees planted beside the road swayed in the wind, making the only sound in the place.
In the center of this abandoned industrial area, on the open space next to the largest factory, a black hole suddenly appeared and a person jumped out.
"Hiss, it's so cold."
As soon as I passed through the black hole, cold wind blew towards me and poured straight into my clothes.
Among the group of people coming from Middle-earth, Selma walked in front and was the first to be baptized by the cold wind.
Even though she had changed into the winter clothing provided by the Raqqa branch, she still shivered. She had never been so far north and was no more cold-resistant than the Dawn Army here.
She rubbed her cold hands, looked around, and said to the person who came out of the black hole behind her: "Reese asked to meet here, did he want to kill people and rob? There is not even a ghost."
It is indeed a desolate and deserted place.
The first and only person to answer the question was Su Yunling, breathing out cold air and nodding in agreement, "It looks like it's perfect for killing people and burying bodies."
Ren Fengpan looked around curiously. There was a thin layer of snow on the buildings, a scene she had never seen before.
Her hometown has spring-like weather all year round and it never snows.
Behind her, Weihang pulled Adelian out of the black hole.
In order to fit in, Wei Hang wore the winter clothes provided by the Dawn Army even though he wouldn't feel cold. Adeline's clothes were the same as the others, and the ability user changed her appearance, concealing her aura and temperament, so she almost perfectly integrated into the Dawn Army.
Soon everyone arrived through the black hole. Excluding the intruders such as Ji Weihang and Adelian who were mixed in, there were a total of twenty people in the Dawn Army.
Leading the group were Ling Si and the blond boy. Adrian, who was disguising her appearance, mixed in with the intruders among the members of the Dawn Army and was protected without making a sound.
Except for Wei Hang who had to come, the other intruders, Ren Fengpan and Su Yunling, volunteered to come along, and Ling Si didn't say anything and let them follow.
The Dawn Army member in charge of the investigation observed the situation in and around the factory. After a moment, he briefly explained the situation:
"The leader was Prina, and there were 28 people in total, including him. Nine of them surrounded him on the first floor, ten were in the corridor on the second floor with guns, and eight were between the third floor and the rooftop.
"There are no additional ambushes. The other buildings are empty.
“I didn’t see Sister Sheila.”
Ling Si nodded to show that he understood, and looked at the time. It was only one minute until eight o'clock.
Mixed in the crowd, Ji Weihang was watching over Adeline, feeling somewhat uninterested.
Her spiritual sense had already scanned the entire area, and she could see everything inside and out clearly.
They were all ordinary weak men, and their auras were also disgusting. She just casually attached her spiritual consciousness to the male leader as a possible backup, and then ignored it, and turned to think about how to approach Fu Xuan when she went to Dongzhou.
At the moment it reached eight o'clock exactly, the factory gate slammed open.
The Dawn Army strode into the factory.
All the original equipment inside the factory has been moved away, and now there is only a table used for negotiations, which looks empty and spacious.
The windows on both sides were open, and the cold wind blew in, making people's cheeks sore and their palms cold.
Selma said, "What a pretentious person."
In the northern part of Raqqa, who would open all the windows in their house? You'd be freezing.
Selma's voice was mixed in with the solemn footsteps of the Dawn Army and was not very obvious, but the people around her still heard it.
The man in the Reese Group who had keen senses and was responsible for eavesdropping twitched his lips, but ultimately did not tell the boss this insignificant remark.
To be honest, he also agreed with this statement.
He is really sick. He asked people to secretly use their abilities to isolate themselves from the cold wind and warm their bodies, so that they, the workers, can blow the cold wind.
The male leader who was being secretly pointed at by the Dawn Army and his men was completely unaware.
As the only man sitting in the room, he looked at the approaching Dawn Army with an inexplicable sense of arrogance. Just as he was about to speak in a condescending manner, he saw the blond boy take a big step in front of the middle-aged woman in the lead, staring at him with wide eyes, and loudly questioned: "Where are our companions? Where is Sister Sheila? Why are they not here?"
Negotiation is actually a very boring thing, with people pulling and testing each other for the sake of interests. The Dawn Army does not want to waste time, so it is a good idea to have a reckless teenager start the conversation to disrupt the rhythm and get straight to the point.
Especially when the strength of both sides is equal or even slightly superior.
"How dare you!" The man next to the male leader shouted in a loud voice. He was about to say something, but when the male leader raised his hand to stop him, he shut his mouth and just glared at her.
"I really want to pull his tongue out," said Selma.
It was a time when no one was talking, and it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was echoing. She had not tried to lower her voice, so it was so loud and clear that even the men with guns on the second floor could hear it.
Without waiting for the other party to attack, Ling Si smiled, pulled out a chair opposite the male leader and sat down. "Sorry, they just got out of prison and haven't learned to follow the rules yet."
The cage is nothing more than a prison for superhumans.
The man who had scolded the blond boy before recognized Selma's identity and moved his lips a few times. Even though he knew that the other party did it on purpose, he didn't dare to say anything to scold him.
She was a famous serial killer who could really pull out people's tongues... She killed her whole family and killed eight male opponents in the arena, becoming the uncrowned king of the cage. Although she has joined the Dawn Army and has restrained herself, who dares to mess with her?
He doesn't dare.
The male leader tried to ease the tense atmosphere and brought the conversation back to the topic they were interested in, saying, "Ms. Sheila is in a safe place."
Someone opened a space vortex, and through it, one could see women with their hands bound by ropes made of special materials. They sat quietly on the ground, with their heads bowed and eyes closed in the same movements. They did not look like they were kidnapped, but rather like they were praying.
Ling Si confirmed that they had no external injuries, and her anxiety eased a little. Although she firmly believed Su Yunling's words, she was still worried about their safety.
Realizing something, the blonde woman sitting in the middle opened her eyes first and looked at Ling Si.
Sheila smiled and said, "Long time no see, boss."
Ling Si nodded, "Silla, long time no see."
When the others heard this, they also came back to their senses from their silent and mysterious state, opened their eyes, and shouted to Uzumaki:
"Lila, don't worry, we are all fine!"
"Don't be impulsive, Lila! Listen to your elder sister."
"Listen to my sisters!"
“…”
For a moment, the noise was as loud as a market, not like a negotiation or a kidnapping.
All of these instructions were directed at him. The blond boy blushed and said after a long pause, "Got it."
We haven't finished talking yet, why are we talking about this now? The people from the Reese Group felt that they were being ignored and closed the vortex.
The women glared at each other coldly.
Prina ignored those looks and said, "It's time to talk about the terms of cooperation going forward."
A soundproof space rose up, separating the two people sitting at the table from the others.
Wei Hang's spiritual consciousness attached to the male leader was not blocked. Although she was not very interested in eavesdropping, she still listened casually.
The male leader started the conversation with "Congratulations on returning to this world." Such boring polite words.
While the leaders were negotiating, the two groups of people stood behind their leaders and stared at each other, as if this was also a kind of war.
"Did you see Freya just now?" Ren Fengpan did not participate in their "action" but whispered close to Ji Weihang's ear.
Ji Weihang hummed. Just now, next to Sheila and other members of the Dawn Army, Froya was sitting on a stool. She was not restrained, but she didn't seem to be free either. She watched their conversation expressionlessly throughout.
After returning from Xizhou, he indeed hadn't seen Freya. Ren Fengpan thought that she had hidden and followed him again. He didn't expect Freya to be in such a strange place.
Ren Fengpan wanted to ask the people from the Dawn Army, but with so many pairs of eyes from the Reese Group on the other side, it was not a good time to ask questions, so he had to think about it himself.
Ji Weihang didn't care much about this matter, but instead observed Su Yunling.
Su Yunling said that she was an ordinary person from an ordinary world, so why was she able to convince Ling Si to rescue Sheila? As the leader of the Dawn Army, Ling Si would definitely not believe the words of an intruder for no reason, not to mention that this matter concerns the entire Dawn Army. She must have produced enough relevant evidence to gain trust.
What is it?
She was a little curious.
Su Yunling had no spiritual power fluctuations at all. She was indeed an ordinary person. What was so special about her? And why did she help the Dawn Army?
She could read the other person's memory, but she didn't want to invade their privacy if it wasn't necessary.
Speculation is also a kind of fun. It has been a long time since she was interested in something and devoted her energy to it.
Su Yunling did not feel Ji Weihang's gaze. She turned her head up and down at the guns pointed at them and said with certainty, "If they open fire, we will be shot into a hornet's nest."
"There's nothing to be afraid of as long as we're here." The Dawn Army member responded immediately, still looking back at the man opposite.
Su Yunling: "That's not what I meant..."
"Tell me." Adeline was already very close to Wei Hang, and now she moved even closer, whispering, "Why aren't they worried at all?"
Weihang knew she was referring to Alice who was hiding in the dark.
They were not sure of Alice's current location, and it was possible that by the time they finished the negotiations and opened the vortex to welcome their companions back, Sheila would have turned into a corpse.
The attitude of the Dawn Army now is too relaxed, which is not the right attitude to treat their companions who may die at the hands of killers in the dark at any time.
Weihang knew why.
Before setting off, Ling Si told them through mental connection that Alice would appear and kill Sheila at the moment of hostage exchange, when Sheila was about to return to the Dawn Army and everyone was happy. That would inflict the greatest damage to the Dawn Army.
Except for some Dawn Army who had extraordinary trust in Ling Si and believed her words completely, the other part, such as the blond boy, did not say anything else and believed her words. The three intruders plus Selma could bring back Adelian, proving the correctness of Ling Si's decision.
When Ling Si informed everyone involved in the operation of this "conclusion", Wei Hang was among them. As an enemy, Adelian was of course excluded.
Looking at Adelian, Wei Hang did not take the test. She was of course aware of Adelian's hidden meaning, but this matter had nothing to do with her.
Adrian smiled slightly and kept silent, thinking about something secretly.
