...
Return countdown: 3:00:00.
Even at night, City 10 remains prosperous and dazzling.
Qingyi walked out of the building of the First Intelligence Division, still holding the phone in his hand: "What? You said that the master asked someone else to send you a dragonfish? Then you've already eaten nine, right? Tell me quickly, what's it like after you finish eating them all?"
Li Ke laughed on the phone, "The moment I finished eating, I heard a thunderous sound in my bones, as if a warm dragon was swimming through them, completely transforming me. I had injured my radius bone a while ago because of training in life-or-death situations, but after eating the dragonfish, it healed instantly."
Qingyi smiled and said, "Congratulations! I never expected that Master would go to the forbidden land number 10 to retrieve one for you. Has Master returned?"
“I don’t know where Master is either. I haven’t heard from him since he arrested the Ten Attendants,” Li Ke sighed. “By the way, how are you doing? After taking over Master’s position as Inspector, are you able to handle it?”
Qing Yi laughed and said, "Of course we can hold on. The Master has already dealt with the Intelligence Division quite thoroughly, so there's practically no one to challenge the Qing family. Besides, everyone in the Qing family's secret service knows that I'm supported by the Master, so whatever I want to do, I'll have someone to help me. A few days ago, I was trying to catch a fugitive, but before I even started looking for him, someone brought him over to me..."
"It would be best if we could hold on," Li Ke said with a smile. "Uncle Yun Jing is calling me, so I'll have to talk to you later."
"Okay, let's talk again tomorrow," Qingyi said, hanging up the phone.
What he didn't tell Li Ke was that he was now being targeted by Qingxing, who was arranging an unexpected event for him every day, making it impossible for him to defend against it.
Several times he narrowly escaped death in accidents.
Qing Wen was not idle either; he kept in touch with the bigwigs of various factions within the Qing family.
Today, faction leaders in energy and military projects are supporting him.
What Qing Yi didn't tell Li Ke was that although the Secret Service was helping him, the Qing family had more than just the Secret Service. They also had various factions of the military and various mercenary security companies, all of which were putting pressure on him and deliberately creating trouble.
Qing Chen's momentum was at its peak, causing the Shadow Wars to become unbalanced.
Since they couldn't find Qing Chen, they could only target Qing Yi.
In the darkness, Qingyi sat in the back seat of an executive car.
There was a frosted glass partition between the front and back rows, so no one could see his disappointed expression.
The gentleman went out of his way to fetch the dragonfish for Li Ke, but didn't even call him once.
Qingyi sincerely congratulated Li Ke. As fellow disciples who came from Qiuye Villa together, he cherished this friendship that transcended family ties.
But the sense of loss was real; he couldn't even tell anyone about his current state of despair.
When the car arrived home, he rubbed his cheeks to make his smile look more natural.
Now, his every word and action is being watched anytime, anywhere.
He has now replaced Qing Chen as Qing's representative in the Intelligence Division, and also Qing Chen's representative within Qing's organization. He cannot bring shame to his master.
After getting off the car, he returned to his penthouse.
The butler asked in a low voice, "Young master, what would you like for supper?"
“I don’t want to eat anything, you should go and rest,” Qingyi said.
Without washing up, he wearily walked towards the bedroom. He didn't want to do anything or think anything today.
However, just as he dismissed the butler and entered the bedroom, he froze at the doorway.
But in the empty bedroom, a string of dragon fish had been placed on the floor, with a bow carefully tied on the vine, as if it were a gift prepared for him on a grand occasion.
There are nine dragonfish in total, enough for him to complete the skeletal transformation in one go.
In the darkness, Keiichi's eyes shone exceptionally bright.
He called the butler: "Make me a fish, steamed, quick, right now! Keep an eye on the other fish, send a special security team to watch over them!"
The butler was stunned for a long time. How did the young master, who had just been listless, suddenly come back to life?!
Chapter 607, Limited Edition Skin
Late at night, the mysterious combat team re-entered Forbidden Land No. 10, and had been inside for nearly four hours.
The commander glanced at the simple map in his hand; they were already very close to Dragonfish Lake.
He gave a tactical signal.
The seventy soldiers immediately slowed their pace in the woods and quickly split into ten tactical squads, advancing through the dark shadows.
The soldiers were dressed in black, blending into the darkness, and even their faces were painted with black and dark green paint.
However, as they marched, a soldier at the end of a squad suddenly felt yellow soil, like a python, winding and coiling up from his feet.
Strangely, the soldier didn't even notice anything unusual; the yellow earth was extremely soft and light as if it were nothing.
Just as the yellow earth coiled around his neck, the end of the yellow earth python suddenly separated, transforming into a hand that gripped the soldier's throat tightly.
Suddenly, the ground collapsed silently, and the soldier vanished from the surface, forever sleeping in the soil of Forbidden Land No. 10.
Then, the invisible and intangible loess used the same trick again, entangling the second-to-last soldier and pulling him underground.
In this forest special operations environment, such silent killing methods are as unpredictable as ghosts.
You can't even know where the enemy is.
However, Zard did not continue killing like that.
Just before the soldiers ahead noticed anything amiss.
Sand on the ground rapidly condensed, and in a short moment, the sand solidified into a human shape, even changing into the equipment of the soldiers who had just died.
This level of efficiency is terrifying in jungle assassination warfare.
At that moment, the commander suddenly raised his right arm, and all the squads stopped abruptly. The assassin, not paying attention to the hand gesture, accidentally bumped into the back of the soldier in front of him.
Amidst the cacophony of sounds, everyone silently turned to look at him...
Then, everyone realized that their team was missing one person!
The captain gave a tactical hand signal: Where are the comrades behind us?
The rules of the forbidden land are strange, and the best way to reduce casualties is to keep quiet.
The assassin thought for a moment and said, "No..."
The captain frowned: "Use hand gestures."
Zard paused for two seconds: ㄟ(▔，▔)ㄏ
have no idea.
team leader:"???"
The next second, all the soldiers suddenly turned around and pulled the triggers at Zard.
The once tranquil Forbidden Forest was suddenly shattered by gunfire!
Zard sighed, "How can you be so unable to take a joke!"
In an instant, countless bullets rained down on Zard, but he turned into a cloud of sand and scattered on the ground, seeping into the soil.
Bullets rained down on him, but only embedded themselves in his sandy body.
As his body turned to dust, hundreds of bullets clattered and scattered across the ground.
In that instant, the commander's pupils suddenly contracted.
At this moment, one soldier after another got stuck in the sand. The commander immediately said, "Climb the tree!"
Once the soldiers climbed the tree trunks, the method of killing them by trapping them in quicksand at any time became unusable.
The commander nimbly climbed into the treetop to think of a solution, but he didn't seem to have any ideas.
When the Federation is sanctioning these earth-element awakened beings who can burrow underground, the best way is to send people to carry out indiscriminate bombing.
All it takes is to use penetrating missiles designed to strike underground fortresses to plow the ground. The high temperatures will glaze the sand and soil, killing those earth-element awakened beings underground. After all, earth-element awakened beings need to breathe and cannot burrow too deep.
However, if they call for reinforcements, they too will be subjected to heavy firepower along with the assassin.
what to do?
The commander gritted his teeth and connected to the airship channel behind him. He was going to be a suicide squad and perish together with Zard.
The communication had just been established when the commander suddenly looked up and saw a figure sitting in the treetops above, smiling at him.
Qingye.
Before he could report the situation to the airship command, a needle pierced his neck and trachea in mid-air.
This time, the equipment carried by the decapitation squad was all carbon-coated, precisely to guard against Keino being present.
However, Qingye never intended to control their firearms. His final method of killing was the forbidden ACE-053, his grandmother's sewing box.
This forbidden item is quite interesting; the sewing box contains three inexhaustible ropes and three embroidery needles.
Embroidery needles come in various sizes; the longest is about the length of an index finger, while the shortest has only two finger joints.
The containment conditions are that the host must thread a needle through the eye of a needle once a day, and when threading the needle, the host's hands will tremble uncontrollably like an old woman's hands.
They're really hard to wear.
It takes Qingye at least ten minutes every day to complete the needle-threading containment requirements.
Sometimes, when Qingqu saw him threading a needle, he would jokingly call him Grandma Qing.
This forbidden substance, ACE-053, was not originally intended for killing; its purpose was to make sewn clothing, shoes, and hats exceptionally strong and durable.
This forbidden item originally belonged to an old shoemaker.
Because of the extraordinary explosive power of superhumans, everyone wears out their shoes during battle.
The old shoemaker's shop is located in the Upper Third District of City 10, where he makes shoes for the extraordinary using the forbidden item ACE-053 'Grandma's Sewing Box'.
Later, after the old shoemaker passed away, the item was taken by Shadow and given to Qingye.
From then on, Qingye's trump card of manipulating metal became three indestructible embroidery needles, making his killings extremely covert.
At that moment, the commander fell to the ground. Qingye jumped down from the treetop, crushed the other party's communication system, and laughed at the commander: "Two A-level experts came to wipe you out. You died without cause."
However, at that moment, the sand beneath his feet suddenly turned into quicksand.
Qingye roared, "Damn it, you've hit the wrong person!"
Someone in the darkness hurriedly said, "Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
