Lin Yi walked very fast. He could hear the noisy sounds coming from afar, which proved that the chaos on the fourth floor had not stopped yet. He still had enough time to complete the task.
At this moment, Lin Yi thought that he was only one step away from success.
As long as we get in touch with the person sent by the higher-ups, as long as he passes the information out, then...
Lin Yi stopped and moved his ears very slightly.
The wind blew from afar, carrying a little damp water vapor. He sniffed it lightly, then reached out and grasped the baton. With his other hand, he reached into his clothes and grasped another cold object.
He lowered his voice and shouted, "Who?"
There was no sound in the quiet corridor. The wind swirled as it flowed past Lin Yi, bringing the slightest bit of moisture and the almost inaudible smell of blood into Lin Yi's nostrils.
"Just finished killing someone?" Lin Yi slowly grasped the dagger and pulled it out: "Are you in a hurry to kill me?"
"As expected of Chi Yun." A figure flashed at the end of the corridor and walked silently under the light. The light shone on him, illuminating a dark shadow: "Double agent, well-deserved reputation."
How come everyone knows I'm a double agent? Isn't this a secret
Lin Yi complained in his heart, his expression unchanged: "Who are you?"
"But double agent... shouldn't be enough to call you that?" The other party laughed hoarsely: "Cunning Fox? Chi Yun? Lin Yi? Or should I say, Xu Zheng?"
The feigned surprise in Lin Yi's eyes slowly faded away, and he squinted his eyes to look at the unclear man in black.
"Your Excellency knows me well?"
"I don't know much about it." The other party laughed hoarsely again: "But I am a little curious about the reason why the rising star of the Empire, who was once famous in the Star Alliance, faked his death and escaped, and changed his appearance to become a spy."
Lin Yi looked at the opponent's seemingly casual defensive posture and concluded that he was a strong enemy.
"If you're curious, why don't I explain it to you slowly?"
"That's not necessary. Who doesn't have a tragic past?" The other party laughed even more wildly: "It's just a grudge against someone, I'm not interested."
You were just saying that you were curious, but this guy's expression changes as fast as a doctor's.
Lin Yi's mind was filled with a mess of thoughts, but his hand holding the dagger was exceptionally steady.
"But as an undercover agent of the Xingjian Association in the Nianluo Association, and as an undercover agent of the Nianluo Association in the Xingjian Association, your real boss doesn't seem to be these two, right?"
“Who is it? Let me guess…” The other party changed his movements, and a tiny flaw flashed by.
It's now!
Lin Yi drew out his dagger, dived forward—and then stopped steadily.
The moment he moved, the man in black stretched out his hand slowly and presented the object emitting light blue light in his hand to Lin Yi - this was the reason why Lin Yi stopped.
A cyclone meter doesn't sound very lethal, and in fact, strictly speaking, it can't be considered a weapon.
As an auxiliary tool used in construction, its characteristics make it the most useful weapon in certain situations - such as places like Star Prison where energy weapons cannot be brought in.
When the cyclone device is at the highest gear, it can emit a cyclone with extremely high impact force. When aimed at the human body, it can cause coma at the mildest and fractures at the worst. Although it will not be fatal, it is definitely enough to make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness in the first place.
"Star Prison is Star Prison after all. After all the preparations, we still can only bring a piece of rubbish." The other party explained and shook the gadget in his hand towards Lin Yi: "But it's more than enough to deal with you."
Lin Yi slowly raised his hand and raised his voice: "Don't be impulsive--" The first word of "impulsive" was still in his mouth, and the next second he rolled on the ground, trying to avoid the attack of the cyclone device.
The other person's hands were steady and his reactions were quick.
As Lin Yi moved, the cyclone instrument shook violently, a blue light shone brightly, and a high-intensity mixed gas gushed out from the front of the instrument, sweeping towards the place two or three meters to the left of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced at the place where the other party was aiming and tried to stop rolling, but the momentum of the force did not stop. At the moment he rolled to the ground, it was as if he had hit it himself and was hit right by the cyclone.
Amid the slight sound of gas disappearing, there was a crisp sound of bones breaking.
The sudden intense pain made Lin Yi gasp and he fell to the ground, motionless.
The other party did not move either. He kept a cold distance from Lin Yi. He did not relax because of Lin Yi's current situation, nor did he feel proud at all. It was as if he had just completed a trivial task. He maintained the necessary vigilance and alertness.
"Now, we can talk slowly."
The other person laughed and said, "Don't pretend. You have broken ribs, not your spine. It's too exaggerated to be motionless."
Lin Yi raised his head slightly and felt a faint pain in his chest. His expression remained unchanged, as if he was not the one in pain. He looked up at the figure standing in the distance.
"what do you want?"
"Of course it's what's in your arms. Otherwise, do you think I'm coming for you?"
The other party chuckled and said, "You're overthinking. Whether it's Xu Zheng or Lin Yi, I'm not interested."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, and as he moved, the pain in his chest became more and more obvious, reminding him that it was not a wise idea to try to fight with the other party - a broken bone would not kill a person, but if he moved around and got a bone stuck somewhere, that might be a different story.
"You know me so well, I thought you were interested in those..." Lin Yi paused and took a breath: "Are you interested in the past?"
The man in black tilted his head: "I told you, I have no interest in the tragic past in your life story." He took a few steps forward and looked at Lin Yi lying on the ground. There was a kind of superior pity in his tone: "You are just a chess piece on someone else's chessboard."
"Chess piece?" Lin Yi's expression changed: "What about you? Do you think you are not?"
"Don't try to trick me." The man in black was very alert and refused to give any answer that might give Lin Yi any information. "I just feel sorry for you."
"To those high and mighty guys in the Star Alliance, even if you are famous in the Star Alliance, you are nothing more than a chess piece that can be discarded at any time." The black-clothed man's tone was a mixture of sarcasm and pity, which almost made people feel uncomfortable.
"No matter how outstanding you are, no matter how hard you fight for the Star Alliance, in their eyes, the power in their hands is probably more important."
"For the Star Alliance?" The other party sneered: "Fuck it. For the Star Alliance, I think it's all for power and profit."
The other party revealed enough information to Lin Yi, enough for him to piece together the intentions and ideas of the forces behind the other party - it was just another organization that intended to overthrow the Star Alliance and usher in freedom and equality.
Lin Yi did not comment on their ideas. Everything exists for a reason. As an executor rather than a leader, Lin Yi was better at taking action than evaluating.
Time will ultimately tell whether they are right or wrong, true or false.
The other party paused for a few seconds, calmed down, and continued: "We are not the same kind of people. It is only natural for a foolishly loyal guy like you to end up like this."
"Being abandoned, betrayed, and then facing death in despair, isn't that the fate of spies like you?"
Although I just told you not to try to trick me, he has so much to say now...
Lin Yi silently clenched the dagger in his hand, but he discovered a little truth in the other party's words.
"Are you pitying me?"
"Pity you."
The other party took a few more steps forward and stopped a few meters away.
Lin Yi raised his head and looked at him. Just like what he saw when he caught a glimpse just now, he was wrapped tightly from head to toe, wearing a mask without any features. He was so clean that it was not enough to provide any useful information to the onlookers.
"Give me the thing." The other party restrained his emotions and said calmly: "Then I will give you a quick death."
Lin Yi smiled and moved his hand with difficulty. As soon as he moved, his breathing quickened and the vague pain became more obvious.
Lin Yi stopped moving, looked up at the other person, and said sincerely: "My ribs are broken, I can't move."
The other party was silent for two seconds, and said with regret: "Looks like I have no choice but to send you to death first."
Even at this point, when he had complete control of the situation and Lin Yi had already lost his combat effectiveness, he still remained vigilant in the face of a strong enemy. This was truly astonishing.
Although the villain died because he talked too much, the other party was so cautious that it was difficult for the good guys.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Are you so sure that I brought the things with me?"
"Aren't you going to make a contact?" The other party said calmly: "By the way, there is no need to waste time. There are no reinforcements."
"I have killed all the contact persons."
So that's why that smell of blood just now occurred.
However, being able to kill all the contact persons at least proved that the opponent's fighting ability was fierce enough. Lin Yi weighed it himself and did not think that he could achieve such an important level as the opponent.
In other words, if he wanted to kill Lin Yi, it would not be a difficult task for him.
But the other party's behavior is still so cautious.
He is indeed a difficult enemy to deal with.
Lin Yi had a premonition that perhaps this time, he was really going to die.
After all, no matter how you look at it, he has absolutely no chance of winning - the other party didn't leave him any chance to take advantage of.
When he truly realized that death was approaching, the first thing that came to Lin Yi's mind had nothing to do with fear or the person in front of him, but had to do with another extremely profound existence.
"I would be sorry if you died like that."
The doctor is really... the one who is always right.
Although he had calculated all possible unexpected situations and done the best he thought he could, judging from the current situation, the reason he was facing death was simply that he... was not strong enough.
He did the best he could, but for his mission, for the fourth level of Star Prison, the best he could do was just that. He could not influence the overall situation, let alone complete his mission.
Lin Yi sighed lightly and accepted the reality.
All failures ultimately come down to the fact that they are not strong enough.
Then failure is a natural thing, and accepting the consequences of failure is also a natural thing.
"Have you accepted your fate?" The other party looked at Lin Yi with interest: "Even at this point, you still won't beg for mercy?"
"Will begging for mercy be of any use?"
"Hmm..." The other party thought for a few seconds and said firmly: "Of course it's useless."
He stood up straight, and his whole body calmed down completely, bringing with it the roar of death.
"No matter what, you have to die."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Lin Yi held the dagger - although it would no longer be useful, if a warrior put down his weapon, it would only prove that he had really failed completely.
"It's a bit regrettable." In this situation, the other party still had no intention of approaching. He raised the cyclone instrument and said calmly: "After all, not everyone has the opportunity to end a legend - who?"
A faint knife light flashed by, and the man in black took two steps back, slightly sideways to avoid the knife light, and searched the corridor, trying to find the person who attacked him.
Lin Yi raised his head with difficulty and looked around, also surprised by the sudden change.
"Do you have any helpers?" The man in black didn't hesitate at all. As he spoke, he held the cyclone and activated it several times in Lin Yi's direction.
The blue light shines brightly again.
A figure flashed through the darkness.
The high-intensity mixed gas burst towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's eyes blurred and he was pulled aside, away from the cyclone - the other party's hand was very steady, and his movements hardly trembled at all, and he didn't even change Lin Yi's posture, let alone give his broken ribs a chance to move.
He was almost lifted up and placed aside.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, amazed by the unimaginable strength displayed by the other party in such a nonchalant action.
No wonder they chatted for so long without noticing each other's presence. Judging from the other party's level of making light of important tasks, he must be a master.
But... does he know a master of this level
Lin Yi moved to another place to lie down, with a lot of thoughts in his mind because he had nothing to do.
But the scene did not fall into stillness. On the contrary, the scene in front of us was extremely lively.
After the other party put Lin Yi down, he went straight towards the man in black. The man in black showed no intention of retreating. He held the cyclone device in one hand and kept activating it. With the other hand, he pulled out the long sword behind him and held it in front of him, assuming a standard fighting posture, waiting for the other party to rush in front of him so that he could kill him with one blow.
The other party easily avoided the cyclone and closed the distance between them almost instantly.
The man in black immediately swung his knife and slashed at the opponent's vital points.
The other party walked quickly, bent sideways, moved his fingers slightly, and the dagger flashed between his hands, and blood spurted out.
"Ding" the heavy long sword fell to the ground, making a slight sound.
The man in black covered his neck and turned his head in surprise to look at the figure who passed by him.
The other person smiled slightly and pressed the non-existent hat on his head.
“You… Xingyu…” Blood gushed out and his trachea was cut, almost instantly killing the opponent. The man in black only had time to say a few words before he fell to the ground.
The gushing blood quickly formed a pool of blood.
Lin Yi lay on the ground, looked up at the other person, a little surprised.
"why you?"
The other person tilted his head, seeming a little confused: "Are you disappointed because you're not a doctor?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with doctors?"
The other person walked up to Lin Yi, squatted down, and stared at him.
"Why else do you think I showed up?"
Lin Yi was stunned for two seconds before realizing what he meant: "The doctor asked you to come..."
“No, no, no.” The other party raised his index finger and shook it in front of Lin Yi: “I’m not a doctor.”
"Then what do you mean by that?"
"It seems you really don't know." The other party said regretfully: "I am also curious about what your relationship with the doctor is."
"So I waited a little longer just now and listened to your conversation." The other party sighed, and the regret in his tone increased instead of decreasing: "I didn't expect to listen to a lot of nonsense."
"You are not the doctor's, so why should the doctor save you?"
Lin Yi reminded the other party: "This is also the question I want to ask you. Why did you come to save me? What does it have to do with doctors?"
"Who made that fool Ye Wang promise the doctor?" The other party said with a smile: "The doctor kept his promise, so we must also keep our promise."
Lin Yi's thoughts raced, and many scenes appeared in front of him, then disappeared one after another, finally stopping at the conversation between Ye Wang and Jiang Yiyi on their first day on the fourth floor, which was not overheard by anyone else.
"The doctor agreed to King Ye's request on the condition that..." Lin Yi said in disbelief: "Me?"
"To be precise, it's to make sure you survive." The other party looked Lin Yi up and down and said, "It seems that you are more surprised than us."
Nonsense, the doctor's behavior once again contradicted his perception of doctors and made him once again overturn his previous analysis of the doctor's character. How could he not be surprised
But this was not the first time, so after being surprised for a few minutes, Lin Yi quickly calmed down.
After all, he was a doctor, a man whose name could explain everything these days.
Lin Yi just suddenly remembered something the doctor once said.
"When you face hell, come to me."
Really... Lin Yi closed his eyes and didn't give him any chance to choose.
Although he said "come find me", he didn't give him the chance to find him. He just placed the chess piece casually and waited for everything to develop as he expected.
Although Lin Yi still hadn't figured out what the ending Jiang Yiyi had predicted would be, he didn't think that the matter would end there.
Now that the doctor has taken action, the initiative of the entire situation will only fall into the doctor's hands.
Similarly, Ye Wang and the others felt the same way.
"What I'm more curious about," the prison guard squatting in front of him thought thoughtfully, "is what the doctor would have done if I hadn't saved you."
"Since you are curious, why don't you give it a try?" Lin Yi asked back.
The other party sighed, and said in an exaggerated and pretentious tone: "We discussed it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion."
Lin Yiyi raised his eyebrows.
The other party stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Yi up, then walked towards the direction from which Lin Yi came.
“Provoking the doctors will only make the situation worse.”
Lin Yi agreed with this from the bottom of his heart: "It's a rational choice."
"So, now let's see what the doctor wants to do."
The author has something to say: The scene where Jiang Yiyi makes a request to King Ye is in Chapter 23.
Jiang Yiyi glanced at the thick documents in his hand and said, "I have a request."
King Ye breathed a sigh of relief after finally advancing the conversation to the next stage: "You go ahead."
Lin Yi stood behind the prison guards, with his back to Jiang Yiyi and the others, and was bored and lost in thought.
(Some paragraphs omitted)
Lin Yi was thinking about these random things when he suddenly noticed two gazes coming from behind him.
He shook his head but didn't turn around to look. There were only two people behind him who could look at him - Jiang Yiyi. Did they mention him in their conversation
"Are you sure?" King Ye couldn't help but ask one more question.
Jiang Yiyi saw surprise and astonishment on his face, mixed into an expression of doubt about life. It was really an interesting scene.
"I told you I'm a good person."
Although I did not directly describe what agreement they reached, I had already hinted at the time that the content of Jiang Yiyi's request was related to Lin Yi.
And why do this... Because "I would feel sorry if you died like that." - This conversation is in Chapter 21.
