This time, Lin Xue didn't tell me to meet up at the underground metahuman group's contact point, but at an unknown restaurant on the other side of the city. Based on the tone of Lin Xue's voice when she called me, I deduced that if I didn't appear in front of this impatient young lady within an hour, I was afraid that I would have to face an unparalleled human tragedy. It was said that this girl had recently become addicted to killing people and couldn't extricate herself from it.
Of course, if it was just this kind of pressure, it wouldn't be enough to motivate me. Lin Xue might have a bad personality, but she knew her limits. The key was that before she hung up the phone, she told me, "Olympus has shown up."
With this kind of motivation, I and the team doctor, Doraemon, sped across 700 billion miles like the wind. We ran red lights and cut across half of the city. The number of people who turned their heads on the road probably exceeded that of two wretched fat men running naked on the Second Ring Road. Everyone had seen cars that could drive at this speed on the highway, but a small, tattered car that was full of holes and had a trunk that couldn't even be closed would be considered a shocking event if it could be faster than a wheelchair.
Tch, if it wasn't for Pandora stuffing six Proton Impact Cannons into the fully loaded trunk, it would still be able to be closed!
In short, when we stopped in front of a small dumpling restaurant, I felt like I was back to when I was riding on Pandora's shoulder. At this time, Jingle suddenly poked her head out of my collar and said something that almost made me pass out. "Ah Jun, why don't you use the car's warp engine? Pandora said it would be fast … "
I wanted to shove the little hindsight into my pocket--and then I buttoned it up!
According to the description on the phone, we easily found Lin Xue in a corner of the dumpling restaurant. Was this a special connection between old enemies?
"Why are we meeting here today?" I sat down in front of Lin Xue and looked around. "Is this also your contact point?"
I looked around. It was the slow hour of the restaurant, and there weren't many customers in the small storefront. There were two people sitting at a table diagonally across from us. They were still wearing waiters' uniforms, and they seemed to be chatting during their break time. From the inside to the outside, it looked like an ordinary dumpling restaurant. But I knew that the ability group was a bunch of crazy … mysterious guys. Their contact points and underground bases were like rat holes in every corner of the world, including a KTV sewer that was about to close down, and the center of the Sahara Desert. So, if someone said that this ordinary-looking dumpling restaurant was the ability group's contact point, I would definitely believe it. Do you see the two waiters chatting with each other? If I were to fire a shot here, the two of them would probably pull out two submachine guns from their trouser pockets on the spot. Then, a flock of pigeons would fly out of the kitchen, and the two waiters and I would perform an aerial ballet amidst the flying bullets and feathers, drifting gracefully in slow motion in a radial direction. Sure enough, we went off course.
Lin Xue looked at the menu and replied without raising her head: "Because the dumplings here are delicious."
The image of John Woo in my head suddenly shattered.
"You're here to eat?"
"Nonsense, I just came back from a mission, and I've been hungry for two meals. Hey, do you want San Xian? It's rare for this lady to care about you. Hurry up and thank me. "
I said with a sad face: "Then what about the information you were talking about?"
"Let's eat first, we'll talk later!"
I shouldn't have contacted Lin Xue in a reliable place!
But it didn't matter where the meeting point was. Lin Xue and I could rely on the spiritual connection to exchange information, and we didn't have to worry about secrets being leaked. It was just that the expressions on their faces changed as they ate the dumplings were really weird. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that the dumplings in the restaurant were all made by Chung Hwa.
"Little Bubble and Vega caught the woman named Medusa." I carefully used my body to block any possible view behind us (even though we were the only diners in the restaurant). I fed a dumpling to Jingle, who was peeking out from her collar, and told Lin Xue about our findings. "We have found out the purpose of Olympus."
Lin Xue ate gracefully while using the spiritual connection to speak, "Huh? What do they want? "
"They want to become gods."
"Pfft!"
Lin Xue spat out the dumpling she had just put in her mouth. Then, I saw the crystal-clear San Xian dumpling fly towards my chest in a beautiful parabola. But right after, another dumpling appeared out of thin air in my line of sight. It was like a Patriot missile that shot towards me. The two dumplings hugged each other passionately in the air, and with a "pa" sound, they collided into each other and tangled together on the table. It was Ding Dang. This little one was hiding in my collar. Just now, she had thrown out her half-eaten dumpling to use as a weapon against the enemy.
What a … painful scene. If outsiders saw it, wouldn't they be scared out of their wits?
A man who could shoot dumplings with his Adam's apple … Forget it, let's not think about this problem. It was too painful.
"What did you say?" Lin Xue and I looked at the two dumplings that landed on the table in shock, then asked in a slow manner.
I told Lin Xue the information I got from Medusa in detail, including the fact that Olympus had mastered a Schilling hive and had begun to use the hive's power to "cultivate" a large number of artificial psychics. Quietly waiting for me to finish, Lin Xue began to poke the table with the toothpick in her hand. "What a troublesome situation … Blockhead, do you think they might — I mean, just might — create Schilling weapons?"
"Absolutely impossible. Those Schilling relics are antiques from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Even if they are well-preserved, they have no energy left. It is impossible for Olympus to master psionic technology. They can only learn some superficial knowledge of Schilling technology from those antiques."
"Even if it's superficial knowledge, it is still very dangerous." Lin Xue suddenly put on a serious expression. It was the first time I saw such an expression on this heartless person's face. In my impression, this crazy girl who always quarreled with me had never shown such a worried expression. "To Shiring Apostles like Sandora, the Schilling technology developed by Olympus is a complete joke. It is not a threat at all. But to the human world, this threat is no less than Hitler's mastery of nuclear weapons. If the lunatics of Olympus make a move, an astonishing number of people will die. And the most brainwashed fanatics love to execute heresy."
Of course, I understood this logic. To God, there was no difference between primitive people using stone tools and bronze tools. But to primitive people, an enemy tribe mastering the smelting technology of bronze tools was a disaster. The Shiring Apostles could disregard Olympus, but they couldn't ignore the threat they might pose to the human world.
I have to say, after spending too much time with a group of superhumans, I had a serious misconception about the power system of this world. I even thought that Olympus was very weak and ignored the fact that the ordinary people around me were far weaker than Olympus …
"Actually, Olympus has already made a move."
Lin Xue sighed and threw out a shocking fact.
"Just seven days ago, the usually low-key Olympus suddenly reappeared and threatened a reputable medium-sized organization in the dark world, demanding that they hand over their treasure. Of course, the organization did not agree. The next day, they were completely destroyed by Olympus. Only one person survived and escaped to China. That was when we learned of this news. Then, Olympus used similar means to eliminate several opponents who tried to resist and declared that a new era was coming … Now, they have suddenly become a dangerous force in the dark world. Many small organizations have joined forces to fight against Olympus' atrocities, but they are like flies sprayed with insecticide, one after another, they have collapsed like flies sprayed with insecticide. Other large organizations have chosen to remain silent at this time … Most likely, Olympus has used some means to bribe or threaten them …"
By the way, why didn't I receive any similar news?
In an instant, I figured it out. My order to the Xi Ling agents was to collect all relevant information about Olympus and report any information that could pose a threat to us. Obviously, even if Olympus intended to destroy the world, it would not pose a threat to us. How could I not think of this? What a failure.
The massacre … I had only seen it on TV before. I didn't expect it to happen right in front of me.
As for what caused the destruction of the organization, I didn't need to guess. It was most likely the non-flammable garbage that the Schilling predecessors threw away hundreds of thousands of years ago, and Olympus treated it as a treasure.
"Based on the information you told me, there is only one explanation for Olympus' sudden high-profile comeback after a month of silence —" Lin Xue stabbed the toothpick in her hand into the table with an impatient look on her face. "They have made a breakthrough."
A breakthrough. In other words, they could already create powerful paranormals like the gods in the ancient myths?
I still remembered what Grandpa Lin told me. According to the research of the paranormals, all modern paranormals had homologous genes, and the source of this gene was the "gods" described in the ancient civilization. Now I was sure that a group of Shiring Apostles had landed on this planet hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it was their appearance that led to the emergence of paranormals. I wouldn't be surprised if Olympus found a way to restore the "gods" by studying the Schilling ruins.
But there was one thing I didn't understand. Did the abandoned Schilling ruins still have that kind of power?
"Lin Xue, can you do me a favor?"
Lin Xue immediately looked at me warily. "What do you want? You can violate the moral bottom line, but you can't borrow money! "
I resisted the urge to throw this girl out of the back window. Gritting my teeth, I said, "I want you to help me spread this message — the wider the better!"
Lin Xue looked at me with a strange look. "You want to get married? Shallow Shallow and Sandora have finally decided to dump you? "
"… Can't you think of something normal?!"
Even though she was messing around, I was still very confident in Lin Xue's work. With the help of the Esper Group's mature information network, a series of information that was both true and false gradually spread in this world's dark world in less than three days: A mysterious organization in China called Boundless Love had discovered a mysterious ancient ruin in the Taklamakan Desert …
Needless to say, what was in the ruin?
I had to admit that the experts were indeed experts. The intelligence workers of the Esper Group were making things up … They were obviously many times more professional than the rigid Xi Ling agents in spreading information. A piece of information that was full of loopholes that even a fool wouldn't believe had been polished and processed by these professional spies. It was obvious that we were the ones who leaked the information, but when outsiders heard it, it sounded as if someone had accidentally leaked the information. From the inside to the outside, it felt like it was genuine information. Of course, if that was all, it wouldn't be enough to lure Olympus into the trap. What really caught them was the Xi Ling ruins under the Taklamakan Desert. I'm sure everyone still remembers the first time Lin Xue tricked us into going to that godforsaken place, right? That's right, it was the underground palace under the sand. At that time, we had coincidentally activated a defense system in the palace. I believed that with the Olympians' power, they should have some understanding of the ruin. However, the paranormals didn't find any Olympians near the ruin, which meant that they weren't very clear about the location of the underground palace. This increased the credibility of the false information we spread. To be honest, even I almost believed that there really was a Schilling ruin under the Taklamakan Desert …
As for whether the Olympians would really be lured here, I wasn't worried. Anyway, this wasn't our only method. As the Olympians gradually surfaced, there would be more opportunities for us to make a move …
A few days passed quickly, and there was still no movement from the Olympians. However, Lin Xue reported that everything was going smoothly. In other words, they were gradually taking the bait. It wouldn't be long before Pandora and Visca would have a fight to settle. That way, the two little girls wouldn't have to spend all day in the living room …
However, compared to the scheming and scheming between the incomprehensible factions, there was something that made us happier: Medusa had spoken.
After the spiritual pillar of support collapsed, Liliana, the expert in deception, finally succeeded in brainwashing Medusa again. She managed to get a lot of useful information from Medusa, such as the location of several Olympian bases …
Even though we didn't know where the Medusas' nest was at their current level, these few bases were enough to give us a pleasant surprise. Anyway, Pandora and Weska were already discussing how to split the loot …
Time passed in this tense and exciting atmosphere. Then, Lin Xue suddenly brought us great news … Well, at least I thought it was good news: Olympus had finally made a move on the ancient ruins.
Ever since Olympus surfaced and destroyed a medium-sized organization, they had become the focus of attention in the dark world. All the shady forces knew about the existence of such a mysterious and powerful organization that paid extreme attention to certain "ancient ruins." At this time, the new organization "Boundless Love" suddenly emerged and found information about the mysterious ruins in the Taklamakan Desert. This naturally attracted countless people's attention to the mysterious land of China. Although the small organizations didn't dare to go against Olympus, and the older organizations didn't know much about this mysterious force, regardless of whether they were big or small, they were definitely paying attention to the barren land. Olympus' sudden move was not hidden at all. They swaggered into our trap, and then …
They found a cave with the words "Welcome" written on it …
A group of men in black suits were grilling mutton skewers in the cave. The leader was a burly man dressed like a SWAT officer …
The vanguard of Olympus only said a few words before their hands were broken. Then, they were packed and shipped back to their homeland along with a hundred sets of "Animal World."
Now, back to our hideout. Well, let's not worry about the details.
"Boss, I really suffered a loss that time." Sicarro, who had blown sand all over his head from the Taklamakan Desert, complained to me as soon as he returned. "I thought Olympus was so powerful. I brought all the elite soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles. In the end, they couldn't even compare to a recruit, not even a Town Security …"
In the eyes of this Imperial Army officer, the most powerful human force was the Town Security. So, his words instantly confirmed my decision to send this guy to the Taklamakan Desert to grill mutton skewers forever.
"What's the point of doing this?" Sandora didn't seem to understand my plan. "Although we managed to defeat a few Olympian soldiers, it's nothing to a large organization. Compared to the trouble the Metahumans had to go through, this is not a big gain."
"I didn't intend to use this kind of small fight to bring down Olympus." I ruffled Sandora's golden hair. "You don't understand human psychology. What's the biggest characteristic of Olympus? They are arrogant and conceited. They never thought that there was a powerful force in the world that could crush them. So, as soon as they showed up, they arrogantly offended all of humanity. So, if a more powerful organization suddenly appeared and continuously defeated them in a head-on confrontation, what would these guys who always thought they were the best in the world think? "
Sandora couldn't understand it at all. The Shiring Apostles had never thought of such a scenario. Their outlook on life was divided into two parts: victory and death. There was no other way around it.
"They will have two reactions." I wiggled my finger in front of Sandora's eyes. "First, they will be afraid. They will hide and never show up again. They will give up their unrealistic illusions or go into hibernation to wait for a counterattack. But now that the Olympians have begun to show up, they have no way out. As long as they hide, the whole world will attack them when they are down and wipe out this dangerous and powerful anti-human group. Secondly, they will show their trump card in advance. Since they have been targeted by all of humanity, they will go all out. I believe that religious fanatics are always irrational, and the probability of them doing this is too high. So, what I am doing now is very simple. I will establish a stronger and more mysterious image of the organization and force Olympus to come out and fight."
This was a situation that could be easily thought of. For example, if you had mastered a set of peerless martial arts and found a certain white-bearded old man under the cliff to imbue you with 60 years of internal energy, then you thought that you were invincible and ran to Zhao Dazhuang's courtyard opposite and kicked open the door to take revenge for the humiliation of having your toy snatched away when you were six years old. In the end, after you rushed into the courtyard and scolded him, you suddenly discovered that there was a reinforced Ultraman walking towards you …
At this time, you had two choices. One was to turn around and run, but since you had already kicked the door open, you had exposed yourself. Then, you would definitely be beaten black and blue by the Ultraman. The second choice was to fight with your life on the line. Of course, you would still be beaten black and blue in the end …
The Olympians would definitely choose the latter because they were in a better situation. At least they had a good chance of winning if they chose the second option. But if they chose the first option, they would never be able to make a comeback.
