"Everyone, shrink the blockade line as fast as possible and gather at the Dawn Family Management!"
Yu Meng gave an order.
It could be seen that the monsters in front of them had evolved from leeches. They were no longer taking the short and sinister route of the sewer.
They … were becoming adults.
Gradually, they became "humans."
In the chaotic battle.
Zhao Yulong, who was squatting on one of the cars floating in the air, noticed that something was wrong.
After a while.
Zhao Yulong was shocked and cursed.
"Something's not right with their actions! They are not just imitating human movements, they are imitating … the leader! F * ck! "
After the skill was activated.
The old man's body trembled slightly.
But it only trembled for a moment.
If Irin had not been paying attention to the old man's movements, perhaps even this slight tremor would have been ignored.
Then, the old man's footsteps paused slightly.
There was a trace of surprise between his eyebrows and he looked at Irin.
Suddenly —
Everything was silent.
Of course, the surroundings were not noisy.
But when the old man looked over, Irin's heart actually felt that everything was silent.
The feeling of his heartbeat being stepped on finally disappeared.
The old man's feet landed on the ground silently.
Irin's heart did not explode on the spot.
Behind Irin, Ling Wuyan's eyes were dull, his body went soft, and he sat on the ground.
He was scared.
It was like a tight string suddenly relaxed, making him suddenly lose all the strength in his body.
Ling Wuyan was soaked. In just a few seconds, he felt that it was ten times … a hundred times more terrifying than the preparatory apostle trial he had experienced not long ago.
[Entanglement of Calamity] … was ineffective.
Irin lowered his head and silently put away the blood jasmine.
He knew the identity of the old man ten meters away.
It was impossible for Irin not to know this person.
However, at this "point in time", Irin did not know the old man yet.
The old man did not know Irin either.
Therefore, Irin could only choose to be silent.
The old man recalled the strange feeling that seemed to have been bitten by a mosquito just now.
He was slightly surprised, but he did not care.
After all, who would care about being bitten by a mosquito?
The old man stood ten meters away and looked at Irin for a while.
Suddenly, he said, "You're the bastard who bullied my precious granddaughter?"
“？”
Irin's expression froze for a few seconds, and then he slowly took out his phone from his pocket.
"Can I make a call?"
The old man snorted.
It was as if he did not care about Irin's little tricks at all.
Even if Irin pulled out a laser cannon from his crotch, he was confident that he could smash the cannon into pieces before the bastard could open fire.
Beep beep beep —
Beep beep beep —
Beep beep beep —
After waiting for a long while, the old man's expression became more and more unfriendly. Finally, the call was connected.
"Um … Hello?"
Molly's voice sounded weakly.
Irin's face was expressionless. Without wasting any time, she said directly, "If you don't want me to be slapped to death by your grandfather, please explain to your dear grandfather whether or not I bullied you!"
The last three words "bullied you" were squeezed out from Irin's teeth.
"I think you did?" Molly's tone was a little uncertain.
"…"
Ten meters away, the old man raised his hand expressionlessly.
Molly thought for three seconds.
If she did not explain, with her grandfather's personality, he might really slap Irin to death.
Therefore, Molly's tone softened. "Give the phone to Grandpa."
Irin pointed at the phone and threw it to the old man.
After the old man took the phone, his cold face instantly changed into a doting smile. "My good granddaughter …"
"Blah blah blah …"
"Hmm?"
"Blah blah blah …"
"Oh …"
The old man suddenly looked at Irin and dragged out the last word meaningfully.
As for what Molly said to her grandfather, Irin did not know.
But there was one thing that Irin was not exaggerating.
The old man in front of her could indeed slap her to death.
No.
He might not even need to slap her.
Irin was very clear about the identity of the old man in front of her … and his strength.
Invincible.
Age … ominous.
Molly's grandfather.
He had almost trained his ancient martial arts to the extreme.
He could stroll leisurely in a rain of bullets.
He could pluck chestnuts from fire with his bare hands without any damage to his hair.
It was said that ten years ago, before the arrival of the Tower era, he climbed to the top of Mount Everest with his bare hands without carrying an oxygen tank and had a picnic on the top of Mount Everest.
Invincible, known as the strongest man in Dragon Nation.
Moreover, he was also the only pure human that Irin knew who had off-the-charts attributes but refused the Tower's summon and did not become an apostle.
…
[Do you believe in God?]
[Yes No?]
Then, Invincible chose "No."
No one knew the reason.
But there were all kinds of unofficial histories that were passed down in later generations.
Later, Irin accidentally heard Molly mention that it seemed to be because Invincible …
She did not understand English.
That was why she clicked "No."
While Irin was recalling Invincible's information.
Invincible finally hung up the phone with his obedient granddaughter Molly.
Then, he instantly changed into an expression of an invincible expert and looked calmly at Irin.
One old and one young.
One old and one young.
They stared at each other.
Gulp.
Ling Wuyan silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Then, he silently took a step back.
Listen to Irin's words and be invisible.
Invincible threw Irin's phone back.
Then, there was a full five minutes of silence.
Only then did Invincible slowly say, "Boyfriend?"
Irin shook his head seriously. "No."
"Oh –"
Invincible's face was stiff, and then he asked, "Just friends?"
Irin hurriedly nodded. "Yes!"
As long as you are willing to believe it.
Then, Invincible did not continue to ask. Irin did not know if he believed it.
Because sometimes, because some words were clearly the truth, but they were not convincing.
This kind of thing was not uncommon.
Invincible waved his hand and snorted. "Follow me."
Perhaps Invincible wanted to teach Irin a lesson, but that soft snort seemed to carry some kind of strange magic, causing Irin's body to tremble slightly, and a metallic taste welled up in his throat.
Upon closer inspection, there was actually a little blood.
As expected of … the strongest man in Dragon Nation.
Irin silently compared in his heart.
He remembered when he was on Hundred-mist Mountain, when he was in a buff state. Was he invincible?
After thinking for a long time.
Irin simulated seven scenes in his mind, but he could not come to a conclusion.
Because even in the future, Irin had never seen Invincible use his full strength with his own eyes.
Invincible flesh and blood.
This was Irin's evaluation of Invincible.
Although Invincible did not say a word, his posture was undoubtedly saying, "Follow me."
The phone in his hand had already hung up.
Irin did not plan to call back and ask Molly what she said to Invincible.
But looking at Invincible's attitude, he probably wouldn't do anything to him for the time being.
"That damn girl …"
In fact, the last backup plan Irin left in the real world was Invincible.
Perhaps Invincible did not expect that as the strongest human, he would fall into Irin's trap.
Of course, with his strength, he did not care about these superficial battles of wits.
With Irin's understanding of Invincible, Molly repeatedly sneaking into a small place like Qingcheng would definitely attract the old man's attention.
With Invincible's "Molly Complex" personality, it would be strange if he did not secretly follow.
After dealing with Xiao Yi, Irin had asked Molly a question.
Molly said that no one noticed her sneaking out.
This … was impossible.
Therefore, Irin was 70% sure that Invincible was somewhere in Qingcheng.
Along with Invincible, there must be "that group of people".
"Well, it might not be a bad thing to contact them in advance."
The corner of Irin's mouth raised slightly, and then he followed Invincible's footsteps with Ling Wuyan.
…
In front of the Xiao family's house, there were a few perfectly round floating cars parked.
One of them looked to be around 30 years old, wearing a gaudy flowery shirt and beach pants. He was leaning against the car door idly, picking his nose and yawning.
After all, it was not early.
It was already time to wash up and go to bed.
Seeing Invincible walk over, the man in the shorts had a serious expression. He stood up straight and said loudly, "Leader!"
Invincible casually pointed at Irin and Ling Wuyan behind him and said casually, "Take these two bastards back first, I'll find time tomorrow to interrogate … ask them some questions."
Irin's expression slightly froze.
Then, Mo Rendi didn't explain and walked into the night alone.
His footsteps looked very slow, but the strange thing was that his seemingly slow step actually covered a great distance, as if one step was equivalent to ten steps.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Irin's sight.
After Invincible left.
The man in the shorts suddenly gave Irin a thumbs up.
"Uh, kid, you're really like a heifer in a sauna …"
“？”
“？”
"(steamed) really awesome!"
"…"
"…"
"You're Irin, right?"
The man in the shorts grinned and then introduced himself, "You might not know me, I'm Zhao Yulong, Zhao from Zhao Zilong, Jade Dragon from Jade Face Little Flying Dragon. Um … I'm the person in charge here tonight."
No, you're wrong, I know you.
Irin said so in his heart.
But on the surface, he nodded calmly and did not say anything.
Irin was not surprised that Zhao Yulong found his information at lightning speed.
Because the other party's power was not something a mere Qingcheng police station could compare to.
Of course, if Xiao Yi was not a cyborg, even if Irin killed Xiao Mo, he might not have attracted Zhao Yulong's attention.
The Special Case Group.
This "Special Case Group" was not the kind of "special ability" described in classical novels.
Of course, the people in this group also had all kinds of strange methods.
But the full name of the Special Case Group should be … the Special Case Handling Group.
The name was a bit long, so it was usually abbreviated as the Special Case Group.
As the name implied, this department did not belong to the normal organization.
It drifted away from the eyes of ordinary people.
It was responsible for dealing with "abnormalities" in the real world.
Even if a large-scale murder happened in a city, as long as it was not an "abnormality", it would not attract the Special Case Group.
But once it involved an "abnormality" that ordinary people could not reach, it would attract the attention of the Special Case Group.
And Xiao Yi's cyborg identity could not be made public, so it would definitely attract the attention of the Special Case Group.
This was also the reason why Irin felt that it was very troublesome after killing Xiao Yi.
But in fact, once one became an apostle, he was no longer an ordinary person.
Sooner or later, Irin would come into contact with the Special Case Group.
Not to mention, the leader of the Special Case Group was Molly's grandfather.
It was just a matter of time or sooner.
Irin had long been aware of this and … was prepared.
Irin and Zhao Yulong shook hands in a friendly manner.
For Irin, this was a new understanding of him.
In short, he was not an enemy.
Zhao Yulong gave Irin a thumbs up and whispered in Irin's ear, "I didn't expect that someone would dare to flirt with the leader's good granddaughter, tsk tsk tsk … Awesome, martyr! Ah no, warrior! Hehe, warrior! "
A real warrior dared to face a bleak life and dared to face dripping blood?
Zhao Yulong probably meant this?
Irin only said one sentence, "She and I … really don't have that kind of relationship."
"Okay, I understand, I really understand."
Zhao Yulong patted Irin's shoulder, revealing a tacit understanding that said, "We're all men, why hide? You know, I know too."
"…"
Seeing that Irin did not speak, Zhao Yulong rolled his eyes.
He said, "You can't be worried about this lousy Xiao family, right?"
"Don't worry, we'll take over this matter. This is already a special case. Whether you're guilty or not, it's up to the leader to decide."
"But then again, compared to this lousy matter of the Xiao family …" Zhao Yulong's voice became softer and softer, muttering, "You dared to flirt with the Mo girl, this is a big deal …"
"…"
At this moment.
The communication device hidden in Zhao Yulong's ear vibrated slightly.
Hearing this.
Zhao Yulong's face changed slightly.
He subconsciously said to Irin, "You stay here … Uh, forget it, you guys follow me. Anyway, you guys are not ordinary people. The leader also asked me to keep an eye on you guys. If you run away, I'm really afraid that the leader will use me to practice his fist."
Irin was speechless.
But … invincible … maybe he really could do it.
This was actually one of the reasons why Irin did not take the initiative to contact Molly for three whole years before becoming an apostle …
Irin followed Zhao Yulong back to the Xiao family's house.
But unexpectedly …
In addition to the secret room where Xiao Mo was.
Unexpectedly …
There was another secret room!
No one would have thought that the Xiao family's house actually hid so many secrets.
The special case group was extremely efficient.
While Irin and Zhao Yulong chatted, the corpses in the burial pit, as well as the corpses of the Xiao family's guards, were moved out and neatly displayed in the front yard of the Xiao family's house.
In the empty yard, corpses were lying everywhere.
Such a scene, no matter who saw it, couldn't help but have a creepy feeling.
After all, it was rare to see so many corpses at once in today's time when order had not collapsed.
Of course, Irin, who was used to the cruelty of the apocalypse, was unperturbed in her heart.
The corpse of a member of the White Shadow Club was placed in the corner.
Because the mask that symbolized the identity of the "White Shadow" had been taken away by Ling Wuyan, no one else noticed the uniqueness of the corpse.
Moreover, the White Shadow Club had not been active in the underground world for more than ten years. Perhaps even the special case group might not remember that such a behemoth was hidden in the dark.
Xiao Mo's corpse was also moved out.
After all, as the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Mo's treatment was better. His corpse was placed in the hall, lying upright on animal fur.
At least he didn't need to be exposed to the wind outside.
When Zhao Yulong, Irin, and Ling Wuyan passed by Xiao Mo's corpse, Zhao Yulong couldn't help but say.
"Your technique is quite skillful?"
There was a hint of ridicule in his voice.
As for what Zhao Yulong was thinking, Irin couldn't figure it out for a while.
She could only respond with silence.
Zhao Yulong smiled and didn't continue to pester him.
The three of them walked all the way to Xiao Mo's bedroom.
The other entrance to the secret room was under Xiao Mo's bed in his bedroom.
Lifting the bed board, a metal cover had been opened.
Xiao Mo's room was full of people.
They all wore half-covered goggles that covered most of their faces, helmets, and the most advanced defensive soft armor on their bodies. A row of live ammunition hung on their waists. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were fully armed.
At a glance, this formation was extremely terrifying.
On the chest of their defensive soft armor, there was a dragon-shaped badge with the word "field" written on it.
Zhao Yulong didn't explain too much about the identity of these people.
But Irin's understanding of the special case group was that these fully armed soldiers were not members of the special case group, but they were under the special case group's management. The full name was the "special case group's field team."
They were responsible for the suppression of armed forces.
One of the field personnel, who was tall and looked like the captain of a small team, saw Zhao Yulong walk over. He stood up straight with a bang and spoke in a harsh tone.
"Chief Zhao, we found a basement below."
"What's inside?"
Zhao Yulong was also a little interested.
The field team captain fell silent.
Zhao Yulong understood in his heart and chuckled. "These two people have nothing to do with it. This matter is also related to them. Speak."
The field team captain gritted his teeth, and his tone became a little heavier.
"It's better … Chief Zhao go and see for yourself."
Zhao Yulong was slightly stunned.
He seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong. His expression gradually changed from the initial cynicism to a little more solemn.
"Okay."
..
..
A metal door had been silently broken open.
As for the method …
Irin looked at the messy fragments on the ground.
There was no need to say anything more.
The level of this door didn't seem to be as high as the basement where Xiao Mo was hiding. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easily broken open by the field personnel with brute force.
The three of them entered one after another.
It was already filled with the field personnel of the Special Group.
Irin's pupils contracted slightly.
His expression changed slightly.
Zhao Yulong had a smile on his face. He seemed to have already expected Irin's thoughts and explained, "Don't worry. You don't think that our Special Group sent so many people just to deal with you alone, right?"
Irin heard this and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Soon, he thought of another possibility.
"Xiao Yi?"
"That's right. After I saw that … corpse, I used the fastest speed to check all the properties of the Xiao family and found … Forget it, let's not talk about it first."
Although Zhao Yulong looked carefree, he was also tight-lipped about confidential information and didn't leak a single word.
But just based on these words, combined with the information Irin learned from the apocalypse, he could roughly guess.
Zhao Yulong took the lead and stepped into the basement.
The light in the basement was dim. Although there were many field personnel inside, the strange thing was that no one said a word. The huge basement was filled with a strange solemnity.
Suddenly.
Zhao Yulong stopped.
His whole body trembled.
He looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
Even with his identity as a member of the Special Group, he still stood in the same place and was silent for a long time.
Irin followed closely behind. At first, he was a little puzzled by Zhao Yulong's reaction, but when he saw the same scene in Zhao Yulong's eyes, he suddenly understood.
Irin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time.
Zhao Yulong's slightly trembling body finally calmed down.
He clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out two words from his mouth.
"Bastard!"
Ling Wuyan, who was at the back, was full of horror.
If he could speak, he would probably say, "What the f * ck?"
The entire basement was very spacious, about a few hundred square meters.
But this was not the main point.
The main point was …
In the entire basement, there were transparent sealed glass cabins, like glass windows in a museum, neatly arranged. Each glass cabin was about one meter apart from each other. At a glance, the glass cabins, which were one meter apart from each other, filled the entire basement!
In the glass cabins, there was a faint green light. In the dim basement, it was like a ghost fire, faintly exuding a strange aura.
And each glass cabin that emitted a green light was filled with a transparent unknown liquid, and from time to time, a string of bubbles gushed out from the bottom of the glass cabin.
In each of these cylindrical glass cabins, what was displayed were not valuable treasures, nor were they rare animals. Instead, they were —
People!
To be precise, what was "raised" in the glass cabin was once a living person!
Some only had the lower body.
Or only the brain.
Some only had eyeballs, hearts, livers, and other scattered organs in the cabin.
Even in some glass cabins, there were still "humans" with only half of the body and a relatively intact brain soaked in the water.
Those 'incomplete' humans had lifeless eyes and were completely naked. Their internal organs were scattered and floating slowly in the transparent liquid.
"Retch —"
Behind him, Ling Wuyan finally broke this terrifying and strange silence.
Seeing this scene, Ling Wuyan's face was pale, and he lay on the ground and retched desperately.
However, because he hadn't eaten for a long time, Ling Wuyan's stomach was also empty. There was no food residue. He only vomited a pile of colorful vomit mixed with bile.
Zhao Yulong didn't expect that the "dark side" hidden underground of the Xiao family would be so shocking.
If this spread out, not to mention Qingcheng, it would cause a major earthquake in the whole country!
"Bastard! Bastard! "
Zhao Yulong gritted his teeth, and blood seeped out between his teeth.
The Evangelical Church.
Irin silently repeated this name in his heart.
He actually didn't know that behind the birth of the "mechanical life", there was such a dirty side hidden.
Suddenly.
Zhao Yulong patted Irin's shoulder.
At this moment, there was no smile on his face.
In the entire basement, there was no other sound except for Ling Wuyan's vomiting.
"Good kill."
Zhao Yulong said softly.
Good — good — good —
However, the last word reverberated through the entire basement.
…
Irin looked at the girl in front of him with a long saber in a black scabbard hanging on her waist, and felt a headache.
"Why are you here?"
Oda Wu raised her eyelids slightly, and her eyes were cold. She said slowly in an indifferent tone, "I can't come?"
"Ah, no, I don't mean that." Irin retreated behind Gu Tianqing without a trace. "I mean, why don't you practice your saber at home? Why are you meddling in this muddy water?"
Oda Wu said in a muffled voice, "My saber has encountered a bottleneck."
"So?"
What does encountering a bottleneck have to do with you coming to Cangyang City?
Keep practicing!
Maybe you'll break the bottleneck as you practice!
Irin couldn't connect the two things together.
"So, I want to cut something different."
Oda Wu said matter-of-factly.
Irin: "…"
Wang Bing: "…"
Yuan Zhiye: "…"
He was most afraid of the sudden silence.
This girl's murderous intent was too strong.
Irin was even more puzzled.
He once met Oda Wu in the preliminary trial of the Styx River.
Speaking of which, what other monsters have you not slain?
Gu Tianqing clapped her hands and smiled, trying to smooth things over. "It's okay, we're short of people."
When Oda Wu pressed the saber on her waist, Irin slowly sent a question mark to Zhao Yulong.
The question mark already contained all of Irin's emotions.
Zhao Yulong seemed to understand.
He laughed in the communication channel. "Are you satisfied with the pink assistant I arranged for you? According to my rich experience, I'm definitely a fan, definitely — "
"Click."
Irin turned off Zhao Yulong's communication channel and blocked him.
After being surprised for a moment, Irin helplessly shook his head.
From a certain perspective, that guy's divination was quite accurate.
After weighing the pros and cons, Irin quickly sent a message to Gu Tianqing.
Gu Tianqing's reply was only three words: I'll be there immediately!
…
Yu Meng frowned, and the temperature in her voice suddenly dropped a few degrees.
"Mo … Leader, he might have broken through more than one lock."
"Impossible!"
When Zhao Yulong heard this, he subconsciously shook his head and cursed.
The limits of humans, strength, agility, and spirit, these three "locks" had blocked countless apostles. In the past ten years, many experienced apostles had passed through many trials and stacked a certain attribute to the maximum value of 10 points. But because they couldn't find a way to break through the shackles, their strength couldn't improve anymore, and they finally died in one of the trials.
This was only the first lock.
"You misunderstood me." Yu Meng's eyes flashed as she looked forward.
There, Mo Rendi's figure was blurry, and he walked with his head held high, leaving a bloody path filled with corpses.
"Leader, he might have broken through a dual attribute lock of strength and agility."
"…!"
