Yang Xingguo once imagined many scenarios of meeting the hermit.
Some were handcuffed and forced into the interrogation room, some encountered each other accidentally on the street and started a chase, and some others used a knife to slit their necks and died in a corner, and were not discovered until the body was covered with maggots.
But Yang Xingguo never expected that one day he would stand in the same camp as the hermit again.
"A Ming...Li Yongming, he..."
Yang Xingguo knew that now was not the time to ask this, but he just couldn't help it.
"Dead a long time ago."
Ai Liang stared at the old man in front of him and said without looking back.
"...I understand." Yang Xingguo's expression darkened.
In fact, he had already made speculations when he learned about the strange existence in the base.
Since the hermit is related to these unknown things, what about Li Yongming?
Yang Xingguo really hopes that he, Li Yongming, is alive, but based on his understanding of him, after Xiaoya's death, he is afraid...
"The Countermeasures Bureau has quietly cultivated a new apostle. It's really scary!"
After repairing his body, the old man returned to his previous posture.
The reptile-like golden boy stared at Ai Liang with an extremely solemn expression.
After Fei Bing defected, he was the only apostle left in the Special Bureau.
On the other hand, in the Countermeasures Bureau, in addition to the two apostles, Heat Death and Zhuan Ling, there is also Yue Yangyan, a hidden old bastard.
In terms of high-end combat power, the Special Bureau has been completely crushed by the Countermeasures Bureau.
If Ai Liang is also a member of the Countermeasures Bureau, then the Special Bureau may have to make further concessions in terms of resource allocation in the future.
But judging from the question Ai Liang just asked, maybe things can turn around?
The old man originally planned to test a few more words, but Ai Liang across from him was too lazy to chat with him.
Zizzi!
A pure white light beam seven or eight meters wide fell from the sky and directly engulfed the old man.
Different from Yang Xingguo's indiscriminate attack when using the Flame Demon Puppet, the light beam enveloped the old man accurately, and the energy was so solid that even if he stood next to him, he could not feel any warmth.
If it weren't for the melting ground, you would even think it was just a light and shadow effect.
After five seconds, the light beam dispersed.
The old man can no longer be seen in the remaining magma pool.
"Is it resolved?"
Yang Xingguo asked cautiously.
Ai Liang did not answer him, but continued to stare at the big red pit ahead.
"Okay, I think I know who you are."
The remaining black rags emerged from the air again, forming the old man's body.
This scene made Yang Xingguo feel relieved again.
In order to prevent Ai Liang from getting into a fight over a disagreement again, the old man did not play charades like before: "Introduce yourself, I am the apostle of the Special Bureau, you can call me Travis.
Let me declare in advance that I have no interest in the experimental subjects of the DX project. It’s just that Yue Yangyan made too much noise, so I have to come over to check on the situation and give an explanation to the bureau."
Ai Liang still ignored him.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter who this old man is, what matters is whether it will affect his next actions.
Ai Liang turned around to face Yang Xingguo, and without waiting for the latter to explain the situation, he pulled the necklace off his neck.
"No need to explain, I have already read your memory."
Ai Liang said with a straight face.
Before he came, he had thought that this might be a trap.
But after reading Yang Xingguo's memories, Ai Liang couldn't wait to leave this ghost place immediately.
An overseas research base would actually block the entire base due to the rampage of the Balrog Puppet, and even leave apostle-level experimental subjects in the laboratory?
The Balrog Golem, which is composed of the precipitated separation of heat death, is very strong, but the other fusion warriors in the countermeasures bureau are weak?
Even Yang Xingguo can seal the Balrog puppet with a necklace. After so many days, no one in this huge base has reported to the higher authorities to find someone with authority to use the necklace?
The whole plan was so perfunctory that it was impossible to watch it directly. Anyone who knows something about weirdness would have been able to see through this poor acting on the spot.
But the protagonist is Yang Xingguo.
An ordinary person who has never understood the strange, a father who has no understanding of the importance of the DX plan and just wants to save his daughter.
Different perceptions at the information level caused him to be played around by Yue Yangyan like a puppet on a string.
Since Yue Yangyan dared to let Yang Xingguo sneak around with the training cabin, he was absolutely sure that it would not be taken away.
The apostles from the Special Bureau are here, and the Apostles will definitely not be absent when they come.
It is definitely not easy for Yue Yangyan to have the confidence to face the backhand of several apostles at the same time.
Ai Liang had to face it carefully.
Travis, who was leaning on crutches, could roughly guess what Ai Liang was thinking at this time.
So he decisively asked: "Hermit, it's okay for me to call you that, right?"
Ai Liang didn't reply, but he didn't leave on the spot either.
In Travis' eyes, this is a sign of willingness to accept communication.
"You must have noticed that the so-called DX Project experimental body is just a bait. In addition to you and me, there will be at least two more apostles coming.
I think Yue Yangyan spent so much effort, he definitely didn't drag us over to have a party.
Although I don’t know what the relationship is between you and the DX experimental body, I can see that she is very important to you..."
Ai Liang raised his hand to signal, interrupting Travis: "I don't have time to argue with you, let's just tell you the conclusion."
"I would like to invite you to join the Special Bureau."
Travis stated his purpose directly.
At their level, money and power are no different than dirt.
Unless there are special circumstances, even behemoths like the Countermeasure Bureau and the Special Bureau can hardly help the apostles.
Ai Liang wants to leave with Yang Xingguo and the necklace, but the Countermeasures Bureau will not agree, and neither will the upcoming apostle meeting.
This is the opportunity for the Special Bureau.
Travis extended a very sincere invitation to Ai Liang: "As I said before, the Special Forces Bureau is not interested in the experimental subjects of the DX project. Don't worry about what we will do to her after you join the Special Forces Bureau.
After Fei Bing left, I was the only apostle left in the Special Bureau. We need new blood to replenish our high-end combat power. As long as you agree to join the Special Bureau, no matter what happens next, I will be on your side.
Having taken away an important experimental subject from the Countermeasures Bureau, you are destined to leave the Asian League in the future. If you need a new identity, I can help you arrange everything in the European League.
And if nothing else goes wrong, the next step will be a melee between the apostles of all parties. It is better to have an extra companion to share the pressure than to face several apostles alone at the same time, right?"
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
Help Ai Liang deal with the incoming apostles first, and then let Ai Liang join the special bureau after he settles down.
At the same time, it also helped solve the identity problem.
Travis's gesture of goodwill can be described as sincere.
For Ai Liang, nothing else matters, the key lies in Travis's last words.
"Why would someone from the Apostles come to interfere?"
"you do not know?"
Travis raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised: "The experimental subjects of the DX project have the power to specifically restrain the apostles. This is the news that Yue Yangyan deliberately released. The people of the Apostles Association will not sit idly by."
It's Yue Yangyan again.
Ai Liang became more and more disgusted with this guy he had never met before.
He doesn't engage in any conspiracy with you, he lays out all his plans clearly, and then deliberately omits the core information to let you make your own wild thoughts.
Knowing that there is a scam but still having to step on it, this kind of enemy is the most disgusting existence.
