In the base of the Dark Crow Valley, the members of the Guild of Gods gathered.
Jupiter rubbed his brows in frustration. The beta testers were all busy leveling up and experiencing the game. No one was paying attention to their bounty.
"President, the mission notification has changed!"
The members exclaimed.
Jupiter was stunned. He quickly checked and found that the location of the mission notification had changed. It meant that Zero was in the Western Capital.
"The mission is suddenly updated?"
Jupiter was astonished and puzzled.
However, the scope was reduced from a country to a city, which was more advantageous for them.
Today was the last day of the twelve days of beta testing.
"Since the location is confirmed, send the guild members to the Western Capital after the open beta. We have to find the target no matter what."
As long as the open beta started, the guild would definitely complete the mission with their advantage in numbers.
"Let's wait for the open beta." Jupiter looked confident. This B-level mission was already in his bag, and he could reach out and get it.
This time, they would definitely be able to suppress those old rivals of theirs. The members were all excited.
…
The leader put his hands behind his back and listened to his assistant's report.
"Executive Officer Norsa went missing in the Western Capital. Lu Gao En and Syborn disappeared together with him. The person in charge of the Wind Eye, Ji Nuo, said that a new contact will be sent to replace Lu Gao En as soon as possible.
"It's Zero," the leader suddenly said. "He killed Norsa and Lu Gao En. In order to not expose his exact location, he hid in the Western Capital. Stardragon's Division 13 must be protecting him!"
Norsa was the organization's top assassin. It was a huge loss for them to lose to Zero. The leader also had an impression of Lu Gao En. He seemed to be a talent who was very good at managing intelligence.
Zero again!
The leader was furious. "Zero … Do you think that I can't do anything to you just because you found a backer?"
He did not care about a little rat who had defected from the organization. However, after this period of events, the leader realized that Zero was a threat to the organization.
According to the surveillance in the laboratory, Zero had not done anything out of line in the past six months. Where did his intelligence come from? This was a mystery.
The leader did not know how many secrets Zero had, so he could only prepare for the worst. It was time to deal with this hidden danger with thunderous means!
"Tell the Wind Eye to find out Han Xiao's exact location. Even if he is hiding in the headquarters of Division 13, find him, no matter the cost!"
"Two hundred Night Owls and five Executive Officers are on standby. Once you find his exact location, kill him. I allow you to use short-range missiles!"
The leader gave a series of orders, his tone full of killing intent.
"If you dare to show your face, I will kill you!"
…
"It's time for the closed beta."
Mad Blade looked at the 30-second countdown on his interface and felt a little regretful. He hoped that the time would be extended so that he could train a little more.
Of course, he was already very satisfied with the current progress. Although Han Xiao's mission was heavy, the EXP was really high. Furthermore, he had also bought a lot of Han Xiao's equipment, forcefully increasing his combat strength.
Although most of the Mechanic class skills were related to manufacturing, which did not suit Mad Blade's taste, Mad Blade regained his confidence when he thought of Han Xiao's strength. As long as he leveled up, he would definitely be able to become as strong.
"There will definitely be a place for me in the pro scene!"
As the closed beta ended, the excited Mad Blade disappeared from the spot.
…
Closed beta ended. Open beta countdown: 122 days, 1 hour, 23 minutes.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the forum entrance. It was indeed grayed out, and he could not enter.
"I guessed right. The version update will not happen at the same time as here." Han Xiao shook his head.
"Why are you shaking your head? How much more information are you hiding?"
Gu Hui said in a low voice.
At this time, Han Xiao was in the conference room of the headquarters. Director Gu Hui, the head of the Intelligence Department, and the head of the Secret Operations Department sat opposite each other.
Division 13 knew that Han Xiao had a certain level of combat strength, but they did not expect him to be able to kill a real Esper, and a famous one at that. Of course, this was not the main problem. Division 13 was more concerned about Han Xiao's ability to easily find Lu Gao En, the informant of the Germinal Organization.
Lu Gao En had been hiding in the Western Capital for more than two years without giving himself away. Division 13 had failed many times to track him down, but Han Xiao had so easily found the target. This proved that Han Xiao had far more information than they thought.
That was why today's meeting was held. Gu Hui wanted to know more.
Han Xiao came back to his senses. He rubbed his chin and avoided the question. "I exposed my location. Although the Germinal Organization does not know where I live, they are certain that I am in the Western Capital. In the future, they will definitely send more assassins to infiltrate."
Gu Hui frowned. He was not happy with Han Xiao's avoidance, but he followed his words and asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"No more hiding. I want to openly go against the Germinal Organization. I want to participate in the next operation personally."
Gu Hui frowned. "This is too dangerous. If you reveal yourself, the Germinal Organization will have many opportunities to make their move."
Han Xiao coughed. "Can we talk in private?"
Gu Hui hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked to the side with Han Xiao.
The head of the Intelligence Department and the head of the Secret Operations Department looked at each other helplessly. Did he have to distrust them so much?
Han Xiao looked around and whispered, "I can change my appearance."
Gu Hui was shocked. "You have a superpower?"
Han Xiao shook his head. "I can create a small gadget. It can change my appearance, so I will not reveal my real face. The Germinal Organization will not be able to find me no matter what."
A human skin mask? This was not a bad idea. Division 13 knew how to create it, but from Han Xiao's tone, it seemed that he was going to create something more advanced than a human skin mask.
Gu Hui sighed. "Even if it is a human skin mask, you will have to take it off eventually. It is still too dangerous."
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. "The mask I made will be very convenient to wear."
"Okay, when you make it, I promise to participate in the operation personally."
Han Xiao insisted on participating in the operation personally for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to gain more experience. The open beta was coming, and the pressure was pressing. Secondly, he did not want to stay in the Western Capital. Only by going out would he have the opportunity to participate in the outside world.
After the assassination attempt, Han Xiao already had a target in mind. The Dark Crow Valley Base, located at the border of Hesla, was a large base of the Germinal Organization. It was much larger than the previous three bases. There were armed guards, a large number of vehicles, weapons, and defensive facilities to protect the base. The person in charge of the base was' Sword Soul 'Pan Kuang, a Pugilist who was only one step away from reaching Grade D. He was very powerful.
Near the Dark Crow Valley, there was a large rogue settlement called Crow Forest Town, which was one of the starting points for beginners.
The Dark Crow Valley Base was one of the bridgeheads for future players to join the Germinal Organization. It was also the place where the Guild of Gods received the investigation mission.
If the Dark Crow Valley Base could be destroyed, it would greatly reduce the number of players joining the Germinal Organization in the future. This was an idea that Han Xiao came up with after reading the Guild of Gods' post on the forums. After some consideration, he felt that it was very feasible.
The Germinal Organization's leader would not even realize how big of a loss it would be to cut off one of the Germinal Organization's future powerhouses. There was no better target for revenge.
