The off-road vehicle stopped outside a nameless cemetery.
Yu Jing got out of the car first, followed by Li Xiang and Zhang Xixi.
After arriving here, Zhang Xixi's smile disappeared, replaced by a touch of sadness.
"This is one of the hidden cemeteries set up before Polar Night. Compared to those strongholds, even if people know about this place, no one will deliberately destroy it." Yu Jing sighed. The cemetery was desolate, and only an old gravekeeper was still conscientious in his duties, standing straight outside the cemetery.
Seeing Li Xiang and the other two, the old gravekeeper stood straighter and saluted Li Xiang, expressing his respect for the new leader.
There were many old people like this, scattered in the various posts of the new Polar Night Organization, continuing to exert the remaining light and warmth, and also supporting the body of the Polar Night generation after generation.
Li Xiang bowed solemnly, then followed the two into the cemetery.
The cemetery was desolate, but the tombs were clean, without a trace of weeds.
Seeing this, he suddenly remembered the look on Shadow's face when he had returned from the Forgotten Town and looked at the graves of his subordinates.
Yu Jing took him to the last row, where there were three newly erected tombstones, brand new and nameless.
"It's three of the ten people." Yu Jing reached out and gently touched the tombstone. There was a junior brother she had taken care of, but now he was lying on the ground as a cold corpse.
Li Xiang looked at the tombstone silently, and said lightly, "If there is life, there will be death. Before they took action, I said that they might not return. Tell me about them and the situation of the other seven. "
"Zhang Fang, placed in the Connecticut family as the personal guard of the first successor of the family, failed the assassination and was killed."
"Wang Ke, placed in the Obimi family as the middle guard captain, was seen through by Kong family's Kong Fanyu and tortured to death. By the way, it seems that Lieutenant General Ji Zhanxue has already made a decision. It won't be long before the authority of the Military Police Department will be transferred to him. "
"Mercury, who was placed in the Kong Family as the Deputy Quality Supervisor of the Munitions Factory, was implicated because Wang Ke's identity was exposed, and died under Kong Fanyu's torture. This way, all of our people in the Kong family will be eliminated. Chief Instructor, should we send more people to infiltrate them? "
Zhang Xixi closed the light screen and looked at him. His eyes were emotionless.
Li Xiang shook his head and asked her to continue reporting the movements of the other seven people.
After listening to the narration, Li Xiang silently looked at the three tombs. Originally, with their talents, they could have entered a decent university and become a decent fighting force for the human faction in the future. At the very least, they should have died in the war against the calamities, and not die from internal strife.
Over the countless years, the number of casualties in the human camp far exceeded the number of casualties in war. This was the weakness of the human race.
As long as they were alive, the battle would never end.
"Chief Instructor, here is a secret letter from General Shogun's ten major corps, please check it," Yu Jing said softly. It was a confidential matter, and even she and Zhang Xixi did not have the right to know. They could only pass it on.
Li Xiang nodded slightly and took out his communication device.
He remembered that the girl named Yao Kui was placed in the ten major corps. She was hot and bold, and was the first girl in the group who dared to confess her love to him.
Opening the message, the bright red font was particularly eye-catching.
General Shogun will launch a sneak attack on the Chief Instructor in the near future, please be sure to pass on the message!
"Can't wait anymore?" Li Xiang's lips curled up slightly. Combined with the news from the Kong family, it was obvious that Owl had become an abandoned pawn of Ji Zhanxue.
This was a good opportunity.
If Owl hid in the military or under the protection of the ten major corps, it would be difficult to eliminate this enemy even if he had countless reinforcements.
But since Owl chose to sneak attack him, it meant that there was a possibility of a one-on-one battle.
At that time, a Level-2 player would not be so scary. This was the best chance for him to kill Li Xiang, and also the best time for Li Xiang to finish him off.
He had to make arrangements quickly.
Li Xiang turned off the communication device and looked at Yu Jing. "There should be something else, right?"
If it was just to mourn the three dead graduates, there was no need to call him to such a place.
Yu Jing looked at Zhang Xixi, and the two hesitated before finally nodding.
Back in the SUV, Yu Jing repeatedly confirmed that there was no tracking information, and checked the confidentiality of the SUV with Zhang Xixi several times before speaking.
"Chief Instructor … Li Xiang, Yu Yi of the Serpent Assassination Division is dead."
Yu Yi, the senior in the second phase of training.
After that mission, they had never met again.
He remembered that when he left, Yu Yi had specially mentioned that the mission assigned to him by the Magic Association was obviously not equal in difficulty and reward. They had encountered a borderline mutant there and almost all of them were wiped out.
Later, it was said that Yu Yi had specially gone to the Magic Association to file a lawsuit, but unfortunately, the client who issued the mission had canceled the account.
The matter was left unsettled, but a seed was planted in Yu Yi's heart, and he had been secretly investigating.
"Some time ago, Yu Yi contacted me. His mental state was very strange. Before that, he often reported to me the progress of the investigation related to that matter. But that day, he suddenly contacted me and said that this matter was over and that it was no big deal. "
Yu Jing recalled the last communication with Yu Yi. The two did not have much contact, but that time had always given her a strong sense of disharmony, but she could not find anything wrong with it.
"What he told you then was to stop investigating one thing?" Li Xiang was also a little confused. According to Yu Yi's personality and the development of this matter, he would not suddenly give up.
"Could it be that he was threatened or something?"
"No, that's impossible. Even if someone threatened him, he wouldn't hide it from me. From the conversation that day, it seems like he really doesn't want to investigate any further. It's like … it's like he suddenly realized that this is a meaningless matter, or rather, the conclusion he came to was rather boring. Furthermore, he was very certain of this conclusion, so he proposed to stop the investigation. "
Yu Jing tilted her head and tried to recall.
"Right, that day he also said that he took on a new mission, and then he died in that mission."
"Did you investigate that mission? Did you get the specific information? "Li Xiang frowned and asked.
"Of course, I did. Although Yu Yi was only a Level-2 Magician, he was not weak among his peers. He was also very cautious and rarely came into contact with missions outside of his ability. I used all kinds of connections and thoroughly investigated through the Magic Association. It was just an ordinary mission. "
"The content of the mission was to eliminate a group of mutants that suddenly appeared at the border of the Northern Continent. He was not the only one who participated in this mission. There were more than a dozen Magicians from all over the world. I've investigated their identities one by one, and they were all innocent. During the elimination process, probably due to the influence of the players' assessment, a new Void Rift appeared, and a few Disaster spawns appeared and killed the entire clean-up team! "
Disaster spawns.
The last time these guys appeared was in the Northern Continent, during the Ultimate Trial.
That time, it was because the little girl, Disaster's Gate of the Abyss opened, and many spawns of the fish-headed monsters poured out from it.
Speaking of which, the spawns usually came out from the Gate of the Abyss, so why did they come out through the Void Rift?
"The players' support team cleaned up the mess and confirmed the whole story. Those spawns have always been living in the Void Rift, and their master also lives in it. This time was an accident. "
"You really think it was an accident?" Li Xiang frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Yu Jing was silent, and looked at Zhang Xixi, then slowly shook her head.
How could it be an accident!
Because it was that Disaster.
"Serial number C- 98665, Disaster's name is Thousand-Tooth Shadow." Yu Jing also took out the electronic screen and opened the secret file of this Disaster. She obtained this confidential information through the New Polar Night Organization and the Chronometer Tower, and destroyed it after reading it.
"It has been more than thirty years since its last appearance. The most famous battle was the destruction of an entire exploration team at the border. Your maid, Hesteria, was also one of the victims."
Li Xiang remembered this incident. "Yes, at that time, Sister Hesteria had just reached Level 1, and the Disaster had already hidden in the human world by possessing her body. That was the first time it showed its fangs. Its strength is equivalent to a Level 6 human player, and I'm afraid that only Level 6 and above can defeat it in a one-on-one battle. "
As for killing the Disaster, it was harder than ascending to heaven.
After all, so far, the weapons that the human players relied on the most were still the Disaster weapons from the Disasters. It could be said that the development of the human players' development was the process of constantly learning about the Disasters.
Of course, a Level 9 player like the White King could indeed completely destroy some low-level Disasters, but after reaching Level C, their powerful regeneration ability and the countless splits of the Origin Flame made them almost immortal.
The worst outcome was that the human players destroyed their main body, and then their clones fell into the Disaster World to hibernate and recover.
"Yes, after the last time it wreaked havoc at the border, the Night King personally took action and blasted it into the Void. It is said that it has been living in the Void Crack to recuperate. This time, it just happened to come out of the crack and released countless spawns, killing Yu Yi's cleaning team. "
She emphasized the word 'just happened'.
Obviously, Yu Jing could not accept this reason.
"This is the interesting part, Chief Instructor. Look, although the Magicians carrying out the mission come from all over the world, without exception, they do not have a strong background or a powerful force to rely on. They are a group of people who can be 'sacrificed'." Zhang Xixi took out the information and clicked his tongue in wonder. "It makes people suspect that this is a premeditated killing. But even if it is made public, no one will believe that someone planned to lure out the Disaster Spawns just to kill a Level 2 Magician. "
"Sister Yu Jing, you said that Yu Yi looked for you before he died and felt very strange. Can you describe that feeling in detail?" Li Xiang felt that he seemed to have grasped something.
Yu Jing was silent for a moment, then tried her best to describe it.
But she could not explain it clearly. After all, it was just a very abstract feeling.
But Li Xiang understood.
"It's' refresh, 'the' refresh 'from the Goddess of Calamity." He explained the concept of refresh to the two of them. Yu Jing suddenly understood and nodded.
"Yes, yes, that's the feeling! He's not him! But he's also him! "
Hearing that the Goddess of Calamity had such a terrifying control method, the two of them turned pale.
Yu Jing and Zhang Xixi were going to participate in the player assessment in a few years. Although the possibility of promotion was not high, becoming a player was the lifelong wish of countless people, so they had to try.
But they did not expect that the players were not as detached as they imagined.
It was as if they had entered a bigger cage.
"Investigate all of Yu Yi's movements before he looked for you that time." Li Xiang did not believe that there was nothing wrong. The Goddess of Calamity's refresh had only been used on Level 9 existences before. The last time it was used on him, but it had never been used on a Magician.
Unless he had memories that had to be erased.
Yu Jing quickly used the communication device to check, but found nothing.
"Don't use the communication device or any mechanical devices. Go to the Magic Association and ask around in person. Bring some people with you." Li Xiang interrupted her.
"Yes." The two of them nodded.
A fine net vaguely covered his head, but at this moment, it seemed that a small hole had been broken.
Back in City 0126, the neighboring City 0127 had finally returned to normal under the management of the Nidri family, and the actual control was actually in the hands of Li Xiang.
Under the construction of the Scarlet Moon, City 0126 had become a strict military fortress. Since the establishment of the new Polar night, the Scarlet Moon had become the Scarlet Division, and the city's defensive facilities had become more important.
Li Xiang's name attracted countless mechanics and rangers to move in. For a time, there was a lot of talent, and the city slowly developed into the prototype of a super city.
The huge Scarlet Tower spanned between heaven and earth, and it was a symbol that could not be erased in the memories of the people who lived here.
They were proud of the Scarlet Moon and were proud to be able to work in it.
Under Li Xiang's instructions, Wang Bo increased the benefits of the Scarlet Moon again, so that all the employees who moved in could be perfectly protected. From life to family to children, everything was taken care of, so that they could be loyal to the organization wholeheartedly.
This was a method that the other families had never used.
After all, the establishment of the Alliance of Aristocratic Families was to monopolize resources, using 99% of humanity's resources on 1% of people. This had always been their style.
The new Polar night had broken this rule.
Li Xiang adhered to the ideals of the Polar night and lighthouse, where everyone was equal, and resources were redirected to countless people, allowing them to create greater returns. This way, the overall standard of the organization would be raised, and not just a few people would benefit.
This method was obviously time-consuming, and without powerful resources and a long time, it would not be effective.
Moreover, it would definitely be a losing business in the early stages.
No player was willing to waste time on this, and they were not willing to wait for such a moment to arrive. The benefits in front of them were the most important, and being able to enter the Alliance of Aristocratic Families as soon as possible was the most important thing.
Ever since the decree was issued, there had been many internal obstructions, but it had finally succeeded.
The crimson moon that had been twisted into one manifested an extraordinary power in City 0126.
In just a year, it had far surpassed all the surrounding numbered cities, becoming the number one city with the strongest comprehensive strength in science, technology, and humanities.
With Li Xiang's return, a huge battle was slowly brewing in the sky above the city.
He stood on the rooftop of the Scarlet Tower, looking down at the night view of the city. The night breeze caressed him, cool and quiet.
