Li Ya Lin's eyes lit up. She was sure that Black Phantom was Han Xiao. She was very curious about what had happened to him after he left Division 13. Ignoring her dislike for Di Su Su, she asked, "What was he doing when you met him?"
"His codename was still Mr. Black, a Scorpion-level assassin. He was participating in a defense mission in Seagull City. He was related to the leader of the Dark Net."
Li Ya Lin hurriedly asked, "Did you get any other information?"
Di Su Su raised her eyebrows. "Why are you so concerned?"
"I'm very curious about him." Li Ya Lin had no choice but to explain. She felt that Han Xiao must have his reasons for becoming Black Phantom. He could not reveal his identity so easily.
Curious? Oh no, this was usually the first step in love. She had to nip it in the bud!
Di Su Su's eyes narrowed, but her smile did not change.
She said slowly, "Hehe, I got some information about Black Phantom from a female assassin with the codename Golden Fox …"
Five minutes later, everyone was in a daze. It took them a long time to digest this huge amount of information.
Lin Yao was trembling, and Lambert had stopped cleaning his knife.
Li Ya Lin mumbled to herself, "No wonder he didn't have any impulse when he touched me …"
Hou Yue felt his throat dry up. He thought to himself that if Han Xiao returned to the team in the future, he would have to stay away from him.
"The next time you see him, remember to be careful." Di Su Su chuckled as she left. She then stood up and left, leaving the rest of the team looking at each other.
Zhang Wei coughed. "He's our teammate after all. Don't discriminate against him."
Everyone nodded hesitantly.
Zhang Wei coughed twice and continued writing his report. However, he realized that the information just now made him feel uneasy. He could not calm down no matter what. He braced himself and finished the report. He immediately got up and went to find his superior. After handing in the report, he requested to speak with the minister.
After a few minutes of waiting, his request was approved. The call was connected, and the bald head of the minister appeared on the screen. Zhang Wei went straight to the point. "We saw Han Xiao."
The head of the Secret Service was shocked.
Ever since the information was leaked, Han Xiao had disappeared without a trace. Although Division 13 had stopped the search for Han Xiao, they were still very curious about Han Xiao's whereabouts.
The Head of the Secret Service became serious. "Speak."
Zhang Wei carefully chose his words and told them how he found out that Black Phantom was Han Xiao.
The Head of the Secret Service thought that Zhang Wei had seen Han Xiao with his own eyes, but he did not expect that it was just a conjecture without any evidence. He was stunned for a while and had a strange expression on his face. He held back his laughter and said, "You … got the wrong person."
How could Black Phantom be Han Xiao? One was a super assassin in the Dark Net, and that was a very high-level combat power. Although Han Xiao had shown his strength before, he was still too weak compared to Black Phantom. There was no comparison at all. This guess was too ridiculous!
The Head of the Secret Service wanted to laugh. He wanted to tell Zhang Wei that Han Xiao was Zero, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words. There was a confidentiality rule in the bureau, and no one was allowed to reveal Zero's identity.
Although there was no need to hide Han Xiao's whereabouts, and the Germinal Organization's strength was greatly damaged, rules were rules. After all, Han Xiao was a special agent, and this could reduce the risk and trouble. Therefore, even if the Germinal Organization knew that Zero was working with Stardragon, they could not find him. The Head of the Secret Service felt that there was no need to let Zhang Wei's team know about this.
Zhang Wei's team had never seen Han Xiao's real face, so they did not know that his real identity was Zero.
"Ahem, about Han Xiao's identity, he can't be Black Phantom …"
Zhang Wei was stunned and misunderstood. He thought that the Head of the Secret Service was trying to tell him not to care about this matter anymore. So … Han Xiao was most likely sent by the higher-ups on a special mission, and his identity had to be kept a secret.
"I understand." Zhang Wei gave him a look.
The Head of the Secret Service was a little confused.
What do you understand? Why is that look so weird?
…
Stardragon's Division 13 finished sorting out all the reports and information, and the conclusion was handed to the Seven-Member Committee. The Seven-Member Committee held a meeting to sort out all the important issues that needed to be discussed. In the end, only Black Phantom was left. The six people except Gu Hui knew about Black Phantom's reputation in the Dark Net, and the topic of discussion was their attitude toward Black Phantom.
"He provided help, but I'm not sure if it was the Dark Net's idea or his own action."
An old man knocked on the table and said slowly, "The Dark Net contacted us a while ago, and they are preparing to start the sanctuary plan. They are requesting for our material aid, so this should be the Dark Net's way of expressing goodwill to us through Black Phantom."
Everyone nodded. The Dark Net had always been neutral, and if they showed a bias toward the Six Nations, it was no doubt a good thing. The Seven-Member Committee quickly came to a conclusion. They supported the Dark Net's sanctuary plan, approved the material aid, and tried to rope them in.
After the meeting, Gu Hui and Manager Gao pushed open the door of the meeting room and left the empty corridor side by side. They were discussing another matter in low voices.
"Is there no news about Han Xiao?"
"Ever since he provided the information two months ago, he disappeared without a trace."
Gu Hui shook his head. Han Xiao was the information provider, and Division 13 wanted to contact him again, but he did not pick up their calls or reply to their messages. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one knew what he was doing. Thinking about Han Xiao's despicable ways, Gu Hui's heart sank.
Will he be up to no good again?
As for Zhang Wei's guess, Gu Hui had only heard it briefly from the head of the Secret Service, so he did not pay much attention to it. How could Black Phantom be Han Xiao? His looks and combat ability did not match.
Zhang Wei's team did not know Han Xiao's real identity, so they made wild guesses. However, Gu Hui knew that Han Xiao was Zero, so the information was not balanced, and this led to the misunderstanding.
…
The Dark Net had updated the information, and some information about the Battle of Tedramira River was leaked. Most people were worried about the future situation, and they felt that the shadow of war had once again shrouded the planet.
The information included the news of Black Phantom's participation in the battle. Many forces were paying attention to this super assassin, and the information showed that Black Phantom was a powerful mechanic. Speaking of which, there were many powerful Espers and Pugilists, but there were only a few mechanics with strong combat ability, so Black Phantom's name should be added to the list.
"He still made a lot of noise."
Bennett looked helpless as he drank a mouthful of medicinal tea to suppress his internal injuries.
Wang Yuan suddenly received a call, and his face was filled with joy. "Stardragon has agreed to provide us with material assistance."
Bennett was a little surprised. That was not a small amount, and Stardragon had actually agreed to it just like that. "What did they say?" he asked.
"Erm, they are very grateful for our help."
Bennett was confused. "Help? What did we do? "
On second thought, Bennett realized that Stardragon must have misunderstood that Black Phantom was sent by them. Black Phantom was the symbol of the Blood Pact Society, and his actions would always be labeled as part of the Dark Net.
Bennett did not know whether to laugh or cry. Black Phantom had done him a favor by accident, so of course, he would not clear up this beautiful misunderstanding. He said helplessly, "Sigh, I guess I owe him a favor. By the way, what did Hesla say?"
Wang Yuan pushed his black-rimmed glasses, and a strange light flashed through the lenses. "Humph, they are still refusing."
Bennett shook his head. He knew Hesla's style, and only Stardragon was easy to talk to. If they wanted to get some material from the other five countries, they would not even think about it without some negotiation.
"We have received Stardragon's help, and the initial resources are almost enough. Let's start the shelter plan as soon as possible. The war will break out at any time, and the sooner we implement it, the more people we can shelter."
…
Sleepy Winter and the other two completed the faction mission [Battle of Tedramira River]. Naturally, the rating was low, but because it was a super level mission, the EXP was considerable.
They should have been happy, but when they thought of Mad Blade's performance, they suddenly felt that the mission reward was not enough. Comparisons would affect their mood, and it did not feel good to fall behind others, not to mention that the person who surpassed them was a player who started out at the same time. Rainy Kim did not have much of a reaction, but Sleepy Winter and Twinkle Fried Rice were a little depressed.
After thinking for a while, Sleepy Winter sent a chat request to Mad Blade.
"Mad Blade?"
"Sleepy Winter, why are you looking for me?" Mad Blade's tone was humble.
"I want to ask, did you trigger a hidden quest? We saw you on the battlefield … "Sleepy Winter sent the video over.
"You guys are here too?" Mad Blade was a little surprised.
Why does he sound a little annoyed … Sleepy Winter coughed, chatted for a while, and then asked about Black Phantom. The video also recorded Black Phantom. Sleepy Winter naturally knew this high-level figure who appeared in Big Horn Village, and he was very curious about Mad Blade's opportunity.
However, Mad Blade kept talking about random things and did not get to the point. Sleepy Winter knew that he was not willing to share the hidden quest, so he could only say goodbye and hang up.
"He didn't say?" Twinkle Fried Rice asked.
"No." Sleepy Winter shook his head. He was a little envious of Mad Blade, but the hidden quest was hard to come by … He suddenly had an idea.
"Why don't we try looking for Black Phantom too?"
…
The sky was turning bright.
According to Han Xiao's request, the helicopter landed on a hill in the wilderness. Han Xiao told the pilot to wait for orders, got off the helicopter, and took a deep breath. The fresh air made him feel refreshed.
After flying for half a night, they were far away from the Tedramira River. He was preparing to advance here, and Mad Blade just went offline.
When players went offline, they would suddenly disappear, which gave the pilot a shock. Seeing that Han Xiao's expression was normal, he suppressed his surprise.
The players showed their uniqueness everywhere. Although there were all kinds of Esper Abilities in this world, which made people very receptive to abnormal things, as time passed, the uniqueness of the players would be discovered sooner or later. By then, some interesting changes would occur. Han Xiao could not wait to see this happen. It would prove some of his conjectures.
Shaking off these thoughts, Han Xiao focused on the interface. The advancement requirement had been met, and he would advance as long as he leveled up.
He looked at the experience he had accumulated in the past two months. After deducting the cost of upgrading skills and combining blueprints, he now had a total of 6.1 million experience points!
Finally, it's time for the second advancement! Han Xiao was secretly happy. His leveling speed was like sitting on a rocket, especially after the appearance of the players. He had a very large channel of experience points!
After this advancement, he would officially become one of the top fighters on Planet Aquamarine. This was just the beginning. It meant that he would be able to step into places that he previously thought were dangerous. He would be able to obtain rare talents and skills, trigger dangerous missions, talents, skills, and equipment. These would have a huge impact on his combat strength.
He was already half a step into the door to become a Boss like Bennett and Hella, who had a full set of Molding Abilities.
Level up!
Han Xiao put in his experience points.
[Trainee Mechanic] leveled up to Lv.5. + 50 Energy, + 1 DEX, + 1 END, + 4 INT, + 3 Free Attribute Points, + 1 Potential Point!
