Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang and Xia Bing took turns to read Ao Yu’s memories. They killed him after confirming his identity as a Raiders’ spy.
“Let me handle the corpse,” Xia Bing suggested.
“To be honest, I don’t trust you,” Lin Huang said directly, “Until now, you still can’t prove that you’re not a Raiders’ spy. If I give the corpse to you, you might destroy it without a trace, causing future investigation to become even more difficult.”
“If I’m really a Raiders’ spy, there’s no need for me to put up an act like this with a junior who has the potential to achieve major dao-level. I can totally silence you directly,” Xia Bing said as she felt helpless.
Lin Huang thought about it and realized Xia Bing did not seem to be aware of his true ability.
After all, he had only used 200,000 Dao seals in the attack he targeted Ao Yu with.
Meanwhile, the red-haired lady before him had mastered at least 800,000 Dao seals.
Even among major dao-level powerhouses, she absolutely ranked at the top.
She could totally silence him judging by the level of ability that he had revealed.
“Moreover, for a guy who is still unwilling to show his real face until now, it’s considered great that I didn’t suspect your identity.”
“It doesn’t matter whether I wear a mask or not. The video from before proves that I’m not from the Raiders,” Lin Huang said while staring at Xia Bing.
“Speaking of the video you recorded, I’m still a little suspicious,” Xia Bing said directly, “In the video, why were you so sure that Ao Yu was a Raiders’ spy instead of some spy from another organization?”
“Because he was the third Raider I encountered. I’ve killed two others before him,” Lin Huang explained without hesitation, “To be honest, I have two other videos. I recorded them when I killed the other two Raiders.
“They include the entire process of me interrogating them under hypnosis. They admitted that they were Raiders when they were hypnotized.”
“If you can prove that you’re not a Raider, I can show you the two videos.” Lin Huang insisted on confirming her identity.
Xia Bing nodded slightly after hearing that. She only spoke again after falling into silence and thinking about it for a moment.
“I can give you the proof, but you must send me those two videos.”
“Sure,” Lin Huang agreed to that immediately while nodding.
“These are the few Raiders that I ran into in the mystic territory over the past few days.”
Xia Bing took out a memory crystal from her storage space and tossed it at Lin Huang. “Check it yourself.”
Lin Huang sent a wisp of consciousness inside. However, he kept his guard up against Xia Bing.
After spending a couple of minutes looking through it, Lin Huang frowned lightly as he retrieved his consciousness.
The memory crystal stored the images of four minor dao-level powerhouses.
Without a doubt, the four of them were spies that the Raiders had planted in the seven organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone.
“As I’ve left an imprint on those geniuses, I’ll sense it as soon as something odd happens to them. Throughout these ten days, my senses have activated five times in total.”
“Apart from you chasing after Ao Yu this time, the other four times people were being chased after by the Raiders too. Among those four, I’ve only managed to save three, and I failed to save one in time. However, I killed the four Raiders, as well as read their memories.”
“Did you already discover that something’s off with the people among the explorers this time before coming into the mystic territory?” Lin Huang’s question was rather sharp.
Xia Bing left imprints on some people in advance before entering the mystic territory. She had clearly foreseen that something would happen during the mystic territory exploration this time.
“That’s right.” Xia Bing nodded and continued to explain, “Throughout these recent years, apart from the Eastern Eight Zone, the frequency of mystic territories appearing in the entire universe has increased. Not only that, there are some zones that are fighting against each other due to the conflict that took place during the mystic territory exploration.”
“A small number of people noticed that there were people quietly adding fuel to the flames, but no one could show any evidence.”
“Throughout these recent three years, this is the fourth time we’ve had a mystic territory opening in the Eastern Eight Zone. The previous three were the reappearance of mystic territories that had been explored before. As everyone has designated regions they’re responsible for, nothing much happened throughout those three exploration quests. However, this time is slightly different, as this is an exploration of a brand new mystic territory.”
“Almost all of the conflicts that occurred in the few regions happened during new explorations.”
“Before the mystic territory opened this time, we speculated that there’s a high chance that something would go wrong.”
“If that’s the case, apart from your Star Cluster, the rest of the organizations should’ve come prepared.” Lin Huang figured that it would be impossible for Star Cluster to be the only one who possessed this information.
“Yes, theoretically they are, but we can’t rule out that there are higher-ups of some organizations that aren’t as sensitive and didn’t really do anything about the information. Moreover, we have no idea as to what arrangements the other organizations made.” Xia Bing nodded.
“Take a look at the videos I recorded then.” Lin Huang thought for a moment and projected the two videos that he recorded previously.
As there was no network in the mystic territory, he could not send the videos to her at the moment, so they could only watch it on the spot.
The two videos finished playing soon, after which Xia Bing reminded him, “Send them to me when you get out of here.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t go back on my words since I’ve given you my promise.” Lin Huang nodded.
“Is that all that you’ve discovered so far? Do you have more about their plans for the exploration this time from reading their memories?” Xia Bing continued asking.
“That’s all I have. The content I obtained from reading their memories is basically identical to the information I managed to get from hypnotization.” Feeling helpless, Lin Huang shook his head. “Their authorization level is low. They don’t know what the real plan is. Including Ao Yu. He doesn’t know any more than what the other two knew.”
“Ao Yu is already reaching the major dao-level. Therefore, I suspect that there are definitely major dao-level powerhouses among the Raiders’ spies that are participating in the exploration this time!” Lin Huang speculated.
“What about you? Did you find anything that’s different from my discovery?” Lin Huang continued asking.
“The four Raiders I killed are at minor dao-level, and what they know is the same as the memories you retrieved. They don’t know the full mission.”
“But connecting the dots from the explorations in other zones, I suspect their main goal is to create conflicts by seizing opportunities during the exploration this time, breaking the seven organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone apart,” Xia Bing informed him of her speculation.
However, Lin Huang frowned lightly and voiced his opinion, “I don’t think it’s that simple. They can totally achieve that by using more secrecy if their goal is purely to create conflict. They could’ve done it without leaving any traces like they did in the other zones. However, this time, we discovered the Raiders’ actions rather easily.”
“To be honest, I thought it to be rather strange as well.”
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I suddenly feel that this isn’t the same style as their previous interferences in the other zones,” Xia Bing could not help but agree after hearing his words.
