Capítulo 1441: Chapter 786: Who Wouldn’t Be Confused Seeing This? (2)
The cockroaches not only grew mandibles that could bite but also flew, who wouldn’t be baffled seeing this?!
Honestly, if it had been a surge of cockroaches attacking City No. 10 instead of rats, the Parents’ eting might not have been able to hold out.
Especially in front of these cockroaches that could fly to the 30th floor, nowhere was safe to hide!
In just a re five minutes, the Garrison Camp fell, with soldiers scrambling to retreat further into the buildings, utterly helpless.
The dignitaries in City No. 20 were far worse off than those in City No. 10; the Garrison Forces couldn’t even protect themselves, let alone worry about them?
No one expected that the seemingly mighty stronghold under the Jindai Consortium would begin to fall in such a manner.
From tonight onwards, the Parents’ eting would no longer be just a private organization but a burgeoning colossal entity, one capable of severely damaging the foundation of the consortium.
Everyone would have to reassess its existence.
At that mont, the southwestern corner of City No. 20 had yet to be ravaged by the cockroach swarm, but the Kingdom’s ‘Kingslander’ Aerial Fortress, docked there, had already issued a muster order to all resting mbers.
Inside the fortress, a disfigured Nikita sat grimly at the command seat, demanding all resting mbers arrive at the Aerial Fortress within 30 minutes.
Afterward, they would ascend into the sky once more.
The explosion on the Aerial Fortress deck earlier had left the once gorgeous Nikita with 89% of her body burned, and if she weren’t an A-Class superhuman, she would have probably died from organ failure.
The current Nikita was no longer beautiful; she wrapped her entire body tightly and wore a mask on her face, waiting to undergo comprehensive nanostructure skin implantation after healing.
She opened her phone, coldly gazing at the photo of Qing Chen within, her eyes filled with hatred.
If a woman harbors only hatred in her heart, she would drag the whole world into the flas.
…
…
In a certain shop on the Gest Street, Qing Chen walked leisurely down the corridor, holding an unconscious white man.
The shop was already empty; everyone was scared away by the cockroach surge, leaving only the vacant building and Qing Chen.
He called Qing Ji: “No. 169 Gest Street, co pick up.”
The next mont, Qing Ji opened the Door of Shadow on the Gest Street, following the door number 169 and walked in.
Seeing him enter, Qing Chen curiously asked, “You ca so quickly… so you’ve been to this Gest Street before, haven’t you?”
Qing Ji glanced at him, “Why would the chairman of the board care about such trivial matters? Let’s go.”
With that, he opened the Door of Shadow, taking Qing Chen back to Ginkgo Manor in City No. 5.
In front of them, the neuron interface equipnt was already re-established.
No one was around; apart from Qing Chen, the Family Head, and Qing Ji, no one knew what was happening here.
Qing Chen shoved the white man into the machine, Qing Ji curiously asked, “You want to strip all his mories and then impersonate him?”
“Yeah,” Qing Chen nodded, “To infiltrate the Forbidden Sea Coast, I need a new identity. The Kingdom’s Aerial Fortress should be equipped with very tight security asures, just having a face isn’t enough; I need to know all their secret codes. If I want to blend into that society when I reach the Forbidden Sea Coast, I need to know so social networks.”
Originally, mory plundering was not in Qing Chen’s plan, but now that he had the machine, he naturally had to use it.
Qing Ji activated the equipnt, “Since you’ve already thought it over, I won’t try to persuade you, but honestly, for soone of your status today to still dare to take personal risks, I do admire that.”
If Qing Chen stayed here, he would be the future head of the Qing’s Family, wielding terrifying power.
If Qing Chen died on the Forbidden Sea Coast, he would just be a re skeleton.
A normal person would absolutely not take such a risk.
Qing Chen shook his head in denial, “If the Roosevelt Family on the Forbidden Sea Coast is strong enough, then the current Qing’s Family, in front of them, would only be crushed. When the ti cos, if even the Qing’s Family is gone, what use is the empty title of Qing Clan House Master? Let’s begin.”
The device started, but a sudden mutation occurred, sparks flew from the circuits of the neuron interface equipnt.
Soon after, the chips and motherboard inside were all destroyed.
“Broken?” Qing Chen frowned, “After the mory plundering yesterday, who else had the chance to co into contact with this machine?”
Qing Ji calmly replied, “A mute servant responsible for guarding the equipnt.”
“Where is he?” Qing Chen asked.
“He is on duty today, guarding outside the Old Master’s room,” Qing Ji said, “The Old Master is in danger.”
…
…
At this mont, the Old Master in the room said, “Bring in so fresh tea.”
The mute servant outside the door quickly went to prepare the Old Master’s favorite Dahongpao, carefully holding the tray with both hands as he walked in, looking at the Old Master’s back, his expression suddenly changed.
But the Old Master said, “Strange, I can’t figure out when you found the opportunity to even turn the mute servant by my side into a puppet.”
The mute servant paused slightly, then smiled and slowly straightened his hunched body, “You are truly wise; over the years, the one who has given the most pressure is you. Two months ago, I slightly revealed a flaw, and you consecutively killed over a thousand of my puppets. Back then, I didn’t dare approach you, fearing you’d notice sothing odd, yet I didn’t expect that after trying so hard for so many years, I still couldn’t hide it from you.”
The puppet used the word “you,” showing genuine respect for this elder.
If it weren’t for him sitting on Ginkgo Mountain, continuously tracking down related clues over the past eight years, the Qing’s Family might have changed hands long ago.
The puppet curiously asked, “How did you discover , and how did you find those puppets? I believe I’ve left no clues anymore… I have a hypothesis; let’s see if I’m right.”
The elder calmly said, “Speak freely.”
The puppet pondered, “In the past few years, although you were always looking for , all traces had been severed by ; it shouldn’t have been possible to find . In fact, it proved you couldn’t deal much of a blow to over those years… But after Prison No. 18 fell, the forbidden item ACE-002 Heaven and Earth Chessboard vanished, Qing Chen in the prison beca a knight but faked his death to escape, and Uncle Li Dong’s companion was rescued by the Qing’s Shadow Troop. All these connections seem like a huge transaction…”
The puppet’s thought process seed a bit slow, as if needing to gather a lot of information and then process it collectively. Although strong in information aggregation, the CPU seed slightly outdated.
He ultimately deduced, “You and Uncle Li Dong should have a deal, I guess the deal might be: you help him rescue his friend, and in return, he would make Qing Chen a knight. Then, when the Divine Scepter ship’s sky-based weapon descended, opening the sealed forbidden item containnt, he would bring you the Heaven and Earth Chessboard? Next, you used the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to find and killed over a thousand of my puppets in one go. So I suspect the way you could kill over a thousand of my puppets without leaving a trace was using that Heaven and Earth Chessboard? What exactly is its function?”
The elder countered, “Are you here to kill or to ask questions?”
The puppet didn’t answer, instead continued his reflection, “Your mute servants are divided into two groups, one group is responsible for fieldwork, never getting within 300 ters of you, nor touching food. The other group appears to be physically isolated, never setting foot outside Ginkgo Manor… This must be a precaution against right? Makes sense.”
Puppet: “I have many reasons for coming here… I originally wanted to continue hiding this puppet, but since this morning mute servants have been watching , I was promptly assigned here. So I figured I’d chat with you a bit before this puppet got destroyed. Of course, killing you would be ideal; I originally intended to poison you, but you surely won’t drink this tea.”
