Chapter 131: Seeking Help from Shen Wei
“Damn it!”
Lin Xun suddenly slammed a fist into the wall beside him, and the wall instantly cracked.
“Go! Check it for me!”
“How exactly did that player escape?!”
Zhu City outskirts, provincial highway.
Liu Xian ran wildly all the way until he was completely exhausted and could no longer run.
He hid inside an abandoned gas station, gulping air in huge breaths.
“Who… are you?”
Liu Xian asked in his mind.
“Why did you help me?”
Jiang Li’s voice directly sounded in his mind.
“Who I am isn’t important.”
“What’s important is that we are both independent players being hunted by the giants.”
“If you want to live, then do exactly as I say.”
Liu Xian froze for a moment.
He thought of Lei De’s arrogant grin, thought of the despair of being toyed with like a cat playing with a mouse.
He thought of those powerful Transcendents, and he understood that alone, he had absolutely no way to stand against those massive forces.
“I… what should I do?”
Liu Xian asked.
“This place isn’t safe.”
Jiang Li’s voice was very calm.
“Zhu City is now full of people from Bureau 869 and the Ascension Alliance.”
“You’re seriously injured right now. You’re far too conspicuous.”
“I’ll give you an address.”
“Go there and hide.”
“That place is very safe. No one will be able to find you.”
“Remember, absolutely do not expose yourself.”
“I’ll contact you.”
Liu Xian hesitated for a moment.
He didn’t know who this mysterious voice was.
But he knew that he had no other choice.
“Alright.”
Liu Xian clenched his teeth and memorized the address Jiang Li gave him.
“Brother, many thanks.”
“What’s your name?”
“Can I come find you?”
“Don’t rush to thank me.”
Jiang Li’s voice was faint.
“We’re on the same boat now.”
“If we want to live, we must cooperate.”
“You live first.”
“Wait for me to contact you.”
After saying that, Jiang Li released the soul state and returned to his body.
The voice in his mind showed no intention of exposing any information about itself.
Understanding the other party’s intentions, Liu Xian didn’t ask any more questions, nodded, turned around, and plunged straight into the night.
Inside the sea-eroded cave, the damp air carried a salty stench.
Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath. He grabbed a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down, taking a long while before he finally recovered.
His mental energy had been exhausted once again, and an intense sense of fatigue surged over him. Although exhausted, this time he could be said to have gained quite a lot.
He had saved Liu Xian from Lei De’s hands while not exposing any of his own information.
Liu Xian’s escape not only earned him a powerful helper, but also successfully drove a wedge between Lei De and Lin Xun, causing cracks to appear in their already unstable alliance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn’t help but recall the scene at the time.
Back then, he had watched with his own eyes as Liu Xian was about to die at Lei De’s hands. Jiang Li didn’t want to watch Liu Xian die in Lei De’s hands.
In desperation, Jiang Li had possessed Liu Xian, wanting to control him to escape, only to discover that although he couldn’t control Liu Xian, he could converse with him inside his mind.
Thus, Jiang Li hurriedly used the information he had gathered about Bureau 869 to help Liu Xian escape.
Now, Liu Xian had broken out from the layers of encirclement by Bureau 869. Lei De had already begun to suspect Lin Xun, while Lin Xun suspected that Bureau 869 had an internal mole. The cracks had appeared.
Jiang Li leaned against the cave wall, panting as he let out a laugh.
“Bureau 869, Ascension Alliance, let’s continue.”
“This game is still long.”
He had to recover his mental energy as soon as possible.
He needed to continue monitoring Lei De and Lin Xun.
He had to use this opportunity to make those self-important giants turn on each other and kill one another!
Luxury hotel, top-floor suite.
Lei De kicked the door open with one strike. The door panel slammed into the wall with a loud bang, and his phone was swung in a full arc and smashed straight into the wall, shattering into eight pieces.
At this moment, the video call inside the room was already connected. The voice of the Ascension Alliance leader was cold like a blade quenched in ice.
“What happened? You let a player get away?”
Lei De grabbed half a bottle of whisky and tilted his head back, chugging down most of it. The liquor flowed from his chin down to his collarbone, mixing with sweat as it streamed downward.
“That dog bastard Lin Xun let him go!”
“That kid turned into a gecko and zipped straight into the ventilation duct and ran off from inside!”
“Those bastards from Bureau 869 told me everything was sealed tight, but in the end there was that one duct left unsealed.”
“That kid ran off through that ventilation duct. They were treating me like a fool!”
After three seconds of silence on the other end of the screen, the voice lowered even further and said, “Looks like Bureau 869 can’t be relied on.”
“Lei De, from now on, act on your own.”
Lei De slammed his fist into the wall, sending plaster raining down.
“Fine! I’d long since found those uniform-wearing pieces of trash unpleasant to look at!”
“Lei De, this round in Zhu City must be won as quickly as possible. For that purpose, headquarters has specially approved a Transcendent artifact. It’ll be airdropped to you tonight.”
“Once you receive the Transcendent artifact, kill off all the players required for your personal victory as fast as possible, then hurry back.”
“Recently, the alliance has had some conflicts with the Card House. We urgently need Transcendents to hold the line!”
Lei De’s eyes instantly lit up frighteningly, like a starving wolf seeing blood.
“A Transcendent artifact? Headquarters is even willing to part with that kind of thing?”
“Great! With that thing, why the hell would I still cooperate with Bureau 869?”
“Remember, you must win as quickly as possible.”
“Don’t believe a single word from Bureau 869 anymore. If they dare to play dirty, flip the table directly.”
“With this Transcendent artifact, even if they join forces, they still won’t be your match.”
After saying that, the video call was cut off.
After hanging up, Lei De threw his head back and laughed loudly, the laughter shaking the suite’s chandelier until it swayed wildly.
“Hahaha!”
“Come on! Watch me slaughter the entire field all by myself!”
After an entire day of rest and recuperation.
Jiang Li replenished food and recovered his mental energy.
At dusk, he once again entered the soul state and drifted toward Zhu City.
This time, his target was Lin Xun.
He wanted to see how Lin Xun would react when facing Lei De, who now harbored suspicion.
Zhu City Bureau 869 underground base, command room.
Director Qin smoked cigarette after cigarette. The ashtray was already overflowing, yet even when the cigarette butt burned his fingers, he felt nothing.
“I’ve already thoroughly checked the internal personnel. No signs of anyone being disguised, replaced, or mentally controlled were found.”
“How did things go on your end with Lei De?”
“Lei De isn’t replying anymore. He’s probably planning to ditch us and act alone.”
“Our cooperation with the Ascension Alliance has to be declared broken.”
“They’ve already developed suspicions toward us, and may even have developed hostility.”
“Then what do we do now?!”
Lin Xun’s fingers knocked on the table, each strike heavier than the last, as if he wanted to smash through the tabletop.
“We don’t need to pay too much attention to Lei De right now. Our biggest task is to find those two independent players from the 【Shadow】 faction as soon as possible.”
Lin Xun’s voice was very calm. “With them, we can seize the initiative in this game.”
“But the problem is… those two 【Shadow】 faction independent players don’t leave the slightest trace.”
Director Qin sounded somewhat helpless. “They’re hiding too deeply.”
“Our people simply can’t find them.”
“The brothers under my command are about to be driven insane by me.”
