Nearly twenty people walked out of the back door of the extreme martial arts gym.
Behind the martial arts hall are properties that have been developed and lined with residential buildings. They walked on a secluded, little-known tree-lined path inside the community and headed straight ahead.
Looking at the direction, we are gradually approaching the edge of Luoxia Shelter.
"Master, are we leaving the city and going to the headquarters?"
A younger apprentice couldn't help but ask.
Boss Carmen walked in front of the team, and every step seemed to be measured. He was already close to the Great Perfection, and his aura became deeper and deeper.
"We do need to go to the headquarters, but we don't need to leave the city."
ha
The young apprentice was confused.
I heard that the distance between Luyin and Luoxia is more than a thousand kilometers, so how can we get there without leaving the city
I still fantasized about bloodshed in the wilderness, fighting all the way, and arriving at the Green Shade Headquarters with a strong aura, but now I am at a loss.
Only a very small number of people showed a clear look.
‘Senior Sister’ Chen Xiaojia is one of them.
She saw the baby-fat girl Xiong Cixi beside her, shaking her arms, and asked curiously, with a smile like a crescent moon on her lips:
"Of course it is... ahem."
She wanted to say it out loud and let her girlfriends admire and marvel, but Chen Xiaojia thought of her cousin's warning... to be mature, elegant, and steady, especially as a senior sister, she must lead by example.
He waved his hand and replied calmly, "Don't say it, don't say it."
…
They didn't go far before they came to a building with the words "Residential Security Office" hanging on the door.
This building is indeed a community security station, but behind the corridor is a forbidden area, and an alloy door blocks the passage to the underground space.
After the alloy door opened, Carmen led a group of apprentices down the tunnel.
The inside is still as complicated as a maze, but it is the shortest distance. The passage for transporting goods and goods has been widened with the help of people with earth ability, and the rugged ground has become as smooth as a road. , big enough to accommodate two trucks passing in parallel.
At every intersection, the direction of travel is marked, and some passages are completely closed.
After walking a few hundred steps, I suddenly became enlightened.
A vast underground space with an area comparable to several football fields and a height of more than ten stories was completely presented to the apprentices.
The green crystals on the rock wall no longer exist, but they are now equipped with brighter crystal lamps with a halo of light, illuminating the dark underground space brightly.
A silver-gray metal fortress, guarded by numerous black towers, red cannons, and magnificent crystal towers, stands quietly in the center of the underground space.
The iron-blooded aura hit his face, making it impossible to take his eyes away.
Those with keen senses even sensed danger from the strange tower-like building, which made the hairs on their hair stand on end like needle pricks.
Didn't give much time to marvel.
Boss Carmen was like chasing ducks, and the apprentices jumped down from the gentle slope shaped by the soil, and arrived at a circular platform not far from the silver-gray fortress, which was one step higher than the ground and with a radius of more than ten meters.
The eight square-shaped spire tower columns with strange patterns on the edge are regularly distributed at the same distance, which makes OCD very comfortable to see them.
The apprentices came to the platform and looked around curiously.
Chen Xiaojia knew what was going to happen next, but she had never been to the other side. She couldn't suppress her inner excitement, "Next, is when the miracle happens."
The misty blue halo covered the entire teleportation array platform, and the figures of the twenty or so people became blurred. The halo flashed out in layers of wavy light. The next moment, the figures on the teleportation platform disappeared.
…
Chen Xiaojia looked up and saw that except for the circular platform he was standing on, the surrounding environment was completely different.
Blue sky, white clouds.
There are many mountains in the distance, and you can see many strange towers similar to those in the underground space.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
Chen Xiaojia looked at Xiong Qianqian and glared angrily, "Why are you hitting me!"
The girl with a chubby face felt very aggrieved, "I'm just testing to see if it's an illusion... don't hit me! The illusion cracking manual says that the most efficient way to crack an illusion is for two people to interact with each other."
Other apprentices have also fallen into the illusion of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
It wasn't until Carmen explained the principle of the teleportation array that they suddenly understood. They quickly accepted the setting and were excited about the powerful strength of their own martial arts gym!
…
Soon, under the leadership of Wang Zhou at the reception desk, Carmen and his party arrived at the office of the Intelligence Department.
Along the way, this group of young apprentices were chirping and shouting.
Although the green shade is not as big as Luoxia, novel things are emerging in endlessly. Strange beasts that look like deer but not deer, and look like horses but not horses are pulling the cart forward slowly. Two or three meters high, puppets like mechas, holding Sen. Han's weapons were patrolling back and forth in formation.
The metal element and earth element ability users of the construction team cooperated with each other to build the outer shell of the building. It quickly took shape and was dizzying for everyone to see. However, they soon arrived at the destination. Many apprentices looked at the leader with resentful eyes. Fatty, Wang Zhou's legs tightened and his anus went cold.
Inside the office.
Boss Carmen said, "Your training mission this time is to cooperate with the intelligence department to investigate clues about the "Final God Cult" and find the stronghold of the "Final God Cult". This is a comprehensive experience, regardless of investigation and analysis. , or fighting, will all become factors that affect your experience evaluation. "
After gaining experience, the first batch of mature apprentices will also take up various positions and become the backbone of the shelter.
The Awakened One from the Intelligence Department took the words and explained the "Final God Cult" in detail to the apprentices, and then spread out a map of Tiannan Province on the table.
A total of twenty-one large shelters and hundreds of small and medium-sized shelters are marked on the map - after the retrieval policy, these shelters may exist for various reasons, but they are not weak and have the strength to resist small demonic waves. .
"In many places in Tiannan Province, there are traces of the activities of the "Final God Cult", but they are very well concealed. The clues they have so far are all left behind by the awakened cult members after they caused trouble. Stronghold, there is no clue at all. "
"Look up here..."
Six of the twenty-one dots representing large shelters are circled in red ballpoint pen, and several of them have ticks next to them.
The Awakened Person from the Intelligence Department continued, "Several large-scale shelters drawn in the circle have traces of the activities of the Awakened Persons of the "Final God Cult", and we need your help in the investigation... The apprentices on the green shade side have already set off one step ahead of you. The three checked shelters are the places they choose to go to. You can act together or divide into three teams to help investigate the remaining three places. "
"Finally, I need to warn you that you should not underestimate the "Final God Cult". It is not one of those unpopular cults. There are already awakened people of the eighth and ninth levels. It is not clear what power the cult has in its hands. "
The apprentices from Luoxia were not nervous, but just excited.
They know that as an object of experience, the "Final God Sect" cannot be vulnerable. Because of this, they have room to show their value.
I missed the apprentices at the headquarters this time and didn't meet them, but I can surpass them in terms of experience!
They quickly agreed and divided into three teams, heading towards three large shelters respectively.
…
Pingliang Shelter, located in the western part of Tiannan Province, is a large shelter similar in size to Lindong.
Sun Yu, Cai Jiajia, and two other young apprentices formed a team and arrived here on the Rhino Chariot of the Survey Corps.
They quickly contacted Ping Liang's intelligence personnel.
"Three days ago, Pingliang's orphanage was ransacked, and hundreds of orphans disappeared. According to analysis, this was the work of the "Jinyan Cult". Pingliang Asylum has not been able to trace the whereabouts of the orphans so far. "
"Orphanage?" Captain Sun Yu frowned, "Why did you ransack the orphanage? There shouldn't be anything valuable, right? Or is there something different about that orphanage?"
"Yes, it is not an ordinary orphanage. The hundreds of orphans taken in are all highly qualified geniuses. The entire orphanage has permanent instructors and strict patrols around it. The defense force is not weak, but Three nights ago, the awakened people stationed in the courtyard were massacred, and no one survived, while dozens of orphans ranging in age from eight to fourteen years old disappeared without a trace."
this…
Sun Yu hesitated, still wondering what the cult's purpose was in robbing orphans.
Isn’t it a method of revenge that is inconsistent with a cult? !
After all, Sun Yu was just a minor and didn't have much life experience. He was a little undecided and couldn't help but look at Cai Jiajia.
Cai Jiajia thought hard for a while, and could only look at the liaison officer from the Intelligence Department as if asking for help.
Nian Chengwei, the awakened member of the Intelligence Department, is an elderly middle-aged uncle. Cai Jiajia and others are similar in age to his daughter—if her daughter is still alive.
Looking at the people in front of him, Nian Chengwei shook his head dumbly.
In terms of strength and combat experience, these apprentices are not lacking, but what they lack is decisiveness and the ability to stand alone.
The director sends the apprentices out because he hopes they can grow through experience.
only,
Nian Chengwei smiled bitterly in his heart.
This investigation related to the "Final God Cult" is more difficult than imagined. This cult has only exposed the tip of the iceberg so far. If it is used as a training target, it is not known whether there will be any surprises.
As an intelligence liaison officer and also an examiner who guided and scored Sun Yu and others, Nian Chengwei didn't show it, and still had an expressionless poker face.
He spread his hands and said: "After all, I am just a liaison officer. The Intelligence Department has very few manpower on Pingliang's side and cannot provide you with much help. So... it is up to you how you want to investigate."
The ball was kicked back again.
Sun Yu thought for a while, "Let's go to the orphanage first to understand the situation."
…
Under the leadership of Nian Chengwei, the four of them, Sun Yu and others, walked quickly and within a few minutes they saw the orphanage from a distance.
This orphanage was formerly a primary school. It is not large in area, but it has been cordoned off. Awakened people wearing uniforms patrol back and forth.
Several people were stopped as they approached.
"What do you do?"
Sun Yu looked at the person's uniform. He knew that the person was affiliated with the Pingliang Security Bureau and was one of Pingliang's official forces. He clasped his hands and said:
"We are investigators from Green Shadow, here to investigate matters about the "Final Cult". "
Nian Chengwei rummaged around in his pocket and cooperatively took out an identity certificate from the Green Shade Survey Corps—one of the many identity certificates he had prepared for his outdoor activities.
Unexpectedly, the awakened member of the Pingliang Security Bureau did not even look at it, "Go, go, there is no cult here, the Security Bureau is doing business, and all the other people, please leave."
"But it's obviously—"
The Awakened One with an assault rifle hanging on his chest became increasingly impatient. He glanced at the faces of several people with a calm expression: "Don't say there are no cults. Even if there are, what can a mere cult do in our Pingliang City? spray!
You said that you are from Lvyin, so let me believe it for the time being, but even if you have some strength, what can you find out? In terms of investigation and equipment, our Pingliang Security Bureau will leave you dozens of times behind. "
Looking through the cordon, one could vaguely see several forensic doctors wearing white coats walking into the school.
You don't need to ask to know that the Pingliang Security Bureau responsible for this matter must have used various means to investigate.
In terms of conventional technological means, Sun Yu knew that they were no match for Ping Liang, but the ability users' methods, Yuanli's technological means, and Green Shadow's heritage were far beyond what Ping Liang's asylum could compare with.
His eyes fell on the opponent's assault rifle. Although it had been improved, it was just an ordinary firearm. The long gun on the back was engraved with runes, but it was only the lowest-grade rune equipment.
A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole leopard.
Pingliang is relatively behind in Yuanli technology.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Sun Yu stared at the other party coldly, his restrained aura erupted in an instant, frightening the other party until his face turned pale, and then he turned and left.
Cai Jiajia and the others also left without saying a word, following closely behind.
Until a few people walked away.
Next to the awakened member of the Taira Security Bureau who was dripping with cold sweat, another awakened person holding a long sword and shield said in surprise, "It's such a powerful aura... Actually, I think it's okay to let them go in to investigate. You may not be lucky enough to find anything." There are clues.”
"What's the use of being strong? It's not like our Security Bureau, our Pingliang doesn't have experts. We couldn't find many clues for three days and two nights. Just relying on those few people, don't laugh to death."
"Then there's no need to offend them. I heard that Green Shadow's rune equipment is very good. What if they don't sell the equipment to us in the future?"
The Awakened One, who was carrying a long spear, felt a little regretful at this moment, but he refused to admit defeat, "We also have rune equipment. Besides...it's just a few people from the Survey Corps, so it doesn't matter."
Another person shook his head and changed the topic, "The "Jinyan Cult", I don't know what their purpose is in robbing orphans. We found out that something happened in the orphanage not long after the incident, and the whole city was under martial law. There were so many people. Orphans, still not even a trace was seen. "
"Okay, okay, this kind of brain-burning matter can be solved by the captain and the director. The cult just caught us off guard. I believe that as long as the superiors are prepared, the "Final Cult" will not cause any trouble. "
…
…
"So angry!"
In a private room of a restaurant not far from the orphanage, Cai Jiajia puffed her lips and looked angry.
We were obviously working together to fight against cults, and we were obviously helping out, but Pingliang Shelter turned us away!
Sun Yu frowned, "I was too reckless. I shouldn't have come directly to investigate."
"why?"
Nian Chengwei no longer remained silent and said: "The orphanage incident is under the responsibility of the Pingliang Security Bureau. Its director is relatively conservative in his work. For the Security Bureau, maintaining Pingliang's stability is the most important thing. As for finding traces of the missing orphans... To put it bluntly, this is not important to the Security Bureau.”
"Most of the members in the entire security bureau have similar ideas. They even want to conceal the existence of the cult. Therefore, if you rush forward without preparation, the probability of being rejected is more than 90%."
Sun Yu and others were thoughtful.
Nian Chengwei continued, "So, have you guys figured out the next step?"
"Visiting the surrounding area?"
"Investigating other orphanages in Pingliang?"
"Investigating the past situation of the orphanage?"
Nian Chengwei sighed:
"No one has thought of a more direct, decisive, and efficient way?"
Several people shook their heads.
"Don't you understand, sneaking into the investigation! The Taira Security Bureau won't let us in, but we have hands and feet, can't we go on our own!"
Sun Yu hesitated for a while and said, "In addition to the orphanage, I saw a lot of people in the teaching building. The Security Bureau should have arranged a lot of people inside and outside the orphanage. Even if we can sneak in, there will be If you want to launch an investigation, you will definitely be exposed to the sight of the awakened ones stationed there.”
Nian Chengwei nodded slightly and refuted, "Your observation skills are good, but... won't you knock the person unconscious first and then start an investigation? Don't tell me that the four of you can't quietly get rid of the guards?! "
"But we have shown our identity today. Once violence sneaks in, the security bureau will definitely suspect us..."
"It's just about knocking out a few people, it's just about sneaking into the security circle, so what if you are suspected, what if you are identified? Young man, you still don't have enough courage."
Nian Chengwei smiled with full confidence.
The confidence comes from behind, the strong backing brings, and there is no fear.
Sun Yu and others were also infected, showing confident expressions.
With the help of Nian Chengwei, they quickly formulated a detailed combat plan and prepared to operate in the early hours of the night.
However, several apprentices looked at Nian Chengwei, and then looked at the infiltration route map. They saw a straight line leading directly to the crime scene without turning around, and their expressions were a little weird.
Infiltration, is this what it is like
