Chapter 605: The missing C-level (please vote for the big chapter)
seven in the morning.
Pure white and warm sunshine spreads on the old and clean streets.
Densely packed military police and staff in civilian clothes pulled out isolation tapes at both ends of the street, isolating the entire street and attracting the attention of passers-by.
"A missing person notice is broadcast below, the content is as follows:
"Hello Mr. Hao Yi, thank you very much for your help to Jordan and Ellen City. If you have time, we have prepared lunch for you at the Valente Restaurant at No. 27 Lochlan Street. The lunch opening time is noon
You are welcome to come after ten o'clock."
A small TV on the street was playing a well-written advertisement for a missing person notice. He Ao put down the newspaper with the missing person notice printed on it and placed it casually in front of the window sill.
"what,"
A man with red curly hair came over. He walked up to He Ao, took out two cigarettes and handed one to He Ao, "You said we arranged it like this and cleared the entire street. There were people everywhere.
It's our people and the military police, will that 'Hao Yi' really come?"
This man with red curly hair is the current person in charge of Moonlight, Enke.
He and He Ao were the only C-class people to survive the previous "slumber" incident in the city caused by the arrival of the mysterious shadow.
The main reason why he survived was that he was too sensitive to pollution and could easily go insane as soon as he was contaminated. In addition, when he arrived at Ruodan, the operation of the Mysterious Shadow Church was about to begin.
This resulted in the Mysterious Shadow Church, which had already controlled the entire Moonlight Organization, unwilling to spend time and energy controlling him, fearing that he would act irrationally and expose the plan to summon the evil god.
So when the incident happened, he was sent away for a random reason.
Of course, these are conclusions derived by He Ao based on his own knowledge, and Enke in front of him does not know.
However, because he is also a 'lucky' survivor and is also a C-class, when he is not hostile because of the organization's stance, he still has a good attitude towards He Ao.
This morning, it was he and Howe who maintained order in Lochlan Street.
"I don't know, it's not something we should consider."
He Ao waved his hand, rejected the cigarette, glanced at the rising sun emerging in the sky, and breathed slowly.
The energy escaping in the air gathered little by little in his chest.
The Lochlan Street they are currently on is actually the place where the ruins passage is about to open. It is also the place where the energy concentration in the air is the highest in the entire main world.
Although this level of energy concentration is not enough for some people with ordinary qualifications to start practicing, for He Ao, it has reached a point where it can be better absorbed and utilized.
Feel the energy flowing through your body and finally gathering in the large whirlpool in your chest.
He Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
This large cyclone was formed by merging the two cyclones under the navel and between the eyebrows when he was promoted to the Qi Refining God.
Divine consciousness is conceived in this large cyclone. As long as there is enough 'qi' in the cyclone, a new spiritual consciousness can be compressed.
Although he used it very sparingly in the dungeon world, this dungeon still consumed two of his semi-consciousnesses, and now there are only three spiritual consciousnesses left in He Ao's mind.
This kind of sitting experience is not a good one.
So when he could replenish a little energy, he tried his best to replenish it.
"Right,"
Enke glanced at the military police who were maintaining order around him, took back the cigarette he handed to He Ao, and lit the cigarette in his hand, "Class B should look at us the same way we look at these military police, holding intimidating-looking firearms.
But there is actually no threat at all, so our role here is mainly to maintain order and clear the scene."
"Isn't World Tree's C level here yet?"
He Ao leaned against the window sill and glanced at the military police around him, "It's almost eight o'clock."
"That guy is said to be still on his way over."
Enko took a drag on his cigarette.
He Ao turned his head and glanced at him, "Don't World Tree have C-level people here? Why do they need to transfer people from other places?"
"That guy is pretty good, in the first echelon below B level."
Enke glanced at He Ao and put out the cigarette butt in his hand.
"oh."
He Ao understood the core of it.
This is World Tree showing off its muscles.
The Moonlight Company was hit hard. It had lost one B-level and several C-levels before. Ruodan's branch suffered a devastating blow due to the mysterious shadow incident. In fact, it no longer had the ability to maintain Ruodan's branch.
Benefit.
So World Tree hurried over, preparing to grab a wave of territory.
And this guy who is coming is probably the person who will be involved in what happens next when World Tree is on Ruodan's side.
"So Yggdrasil is coming, do you know it?"
He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at the shadows on the wall and the ground.
"Meet, a tough guy."
Enke leaned next to He Ao, "You will definitely be in trouble in the future."
"Looking at your tone, are you not ready to fight?"
He Ao asked with a smile.
"There's no point in fighting,"
Enke smiled and said, "The boss of the family said that we should shrink our sphere of influence now. Although many people inside said that we would seek revenge from you and teach Yggdrasil a lesson, but revenge also requires strength. Our current strength,
Not enough for us to take revenge."
"You are quite open-minded."
He Ao chuckled softly.
"What can be done about this? I still recognize the situation clearly, and I won't hide it from you. When I was promoted to C-level in the ruins, something went wrong. I have very weak resistance to crazy and strange forces, and basically I can't go any further.
It’s possible.”
Enke fumbled for another cigarette. He glanced at He Ao and paused, "You look so young, are you twenty years old?"
"If you ask me, it's eighteen."
Ho shrugged.
"You are eighteen years old, right?" Enke smiled and put the cigarette back, "You might as well say you are still a student."
Speaking of this, he paused and seemed to be feeling a little emotional, "You have reached this point at such a young age, and your future achievements will be much higher than mine."
"Have you suddenly entered the mode where the elderly feel sad about the spring and autumn?"
He Ao said with a smile.
"That's not enough, I'm not even fifty yet,"
Enke stood up, glanced at He Ao, laughed, took out two small glass bottles of wine from his arms, and handed one to He Ao, "I remember that you in China should be able to drink when you are eighteen years old.
."
"Um."
He Ao took the jug and unscrewed the lid, and the rich aroma of wine spread out. This was not a low-alcohol red wine, but some kind of high-alcohol distilled wine.
He Ao took a sip and said with a smile, "Good wine."
"That's right, my hometown is the best place in the empire to make wine. This wine is of poor quality,"
Enke opened the wine bottle and took a sip, "If you come to Tia one day, I will treat you to the best and strongest wine."
"good."
He Ao took a sip of wine and chuckled.
"Aren't you afraid that I might poison the wine?"
Enke turned to look at He Ao, and suddenly asked with a smile.
"Then when I see you coming, I should turn around and leave."
He Ao also answered with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
Enke laughed loudly and touched the wine bottle with He Ao, "You are a real man, much better than those despicable rats in our country. If one day we meet on the battlefield, I hope you will not hold back."
"Normally, I just fight back against people who attack me."
Ho shrugged.
"You are truly the most interesting person I have ever met," Enke took a sip of wine and looked at He Ao, "Be careful with the guy from World Tree, he doesn't follow the rules."
"Okay, I will get to know him."
He Ao smiled and took a sip of wine.
"To the moonlight."
Enko raised the wine bottle.
"To the Institute."
He Ao also raised the wine bottle and touched it with his.
The two chatted casually for a few more words and then said goodbye to each other.
Enko returned to his own area of responsibility.
He Ao glanced at the wine bottle in his hand. For C-level, ordinary poisons were no longer effective. Only curses containing extraordinary power would cause harm.
And anything with extraordinary power cannot escape the gaze of divine consciousness.
Before He Ao took the jug, he knew it was a jug of non-toxic wine.
Enke came here with no ill intentions, and of course, it may not be purely out of goodwill.
After all, as the person in charge of Moonlight, he came over to say bad things about the person in charge of the World Tree who was about to reach it, which was a bit of a sowing discord.
However, He Ao is more inclined to believe that what he said is true. After all, releasing goodwill and sowing discord are sometimes not contradictory.
He Ao took a sip of wine and quietly watched the shadows in the sun move over time.
······
At ten o'clock in the morning, the person in charge of World Tree still did not show up.
A new gendarmerie team was mobilized, and the leader was the gendarmerie captain who He Ao had dealt with before and helped him collect intelligence.
When He Ao arranged for them to garrison in the area, he walked over and whispered,
"Here's some news, I don't know if it will be helpful to you."
"what news?"
He Ao asked doubtfully.
"The former Ruodan Restoration Organization was the organization dedicated to overthrowing the Ruodan Republic and restoring the kingdom. You asked me about their news before,"
The captain of the gendarmerie explained slowly, "They seemed to have had an internal fight two days ago. We don't know the real cause of the internal fight yet, but based on the news from the people they came to seek refuge with, it seems that it was because of their previous
The leader 'Duke Ellen' died and internal divisions occurred.
"Some people supported the new Duke of Ellen and prepared to continue the 'restoration cause,' while others directly gave up their identity as a restoration organization and chose to leave the restoration organization."
"Is the problem an uneven distribution of spoils?"
He Ao asked softly.
‘Duke Ellen’ is the leader of the Jordan Restoration Organization, in fact, he is the ‘boss’.
"Yes,"
The captain of the military police nodded, "According to those who defected to us, the two sides seemed to have conflicts over how to distribute the inheritance left by the former Duke Ellen. Those who broke away from the restoration organization were prepared to take away some things, but those who stayed behind did not
Let, and a conflict broke out between the two sides."
"What is the outcome of the conflict?"
Heao asked.
"That's what's weird,"
The captain of the gendarmerie explained slowly, "The number of people preparing to leave the Restoration Organization was only a small number, but they showed extremely strong combat effectiveness and tight organization. They easily killed the entire Ruodan Restoration Organization and took away
All the treasures accumulated by the Fuguo organization over the years were taken away.
"But when we searched based on the information given by the members of the Zionist organization who defected to us, we found no trace of these 'breakaways' and we didn't know where they fled to."
"What is your judgment now?"
He Ao looked at the gendarmerie captain.
"The military police's judgment is that the core members of the Ruodan Restoration Organization had internal strife and divided the treasure among themselves. However, in order to avoid being traced and to protect the treasure they were assigned, they made up such a "breakaway"
The reporter's news is confusing, and my opinion is,"
The gendarmerie captain glanced at He Ao and said, "There may not be such a group of 'breakaways'. We can't investigate them, which doesn't prove that they really don't exist."
"I see,"
He Ao nodded lightly. Now that Yueguang has been severely damaged, other powers have not come in to fill it. It is the blank time for Ruodan's extraordinary power.
"Control your rhythm and don't go too deep into the investigation. If there really is such a group of 'breakaways', they will be very dangerous. Someone should take over this matter after a while."
"good."
The gendarmerie captain nodded.
He Ao said goodbye to him, watched him return to the military police team, and fell into deep thought.
The Ruodan Restoration Organization is actually a private centralized organization established by 'boss' Jonati after the fall of the Kingdom Era with the help of the intelligence department of the previous Kingdom Era. It continues to control the situation in Ruodan through these hidden forces.
Now 'boss' Ruonati died at the hands of He Ao.
It is normal for a leader to suddenly die suddenly and cause civil strife in the organization.
It is normal for the Ruodan Restoration Organization to be vulnerable in battle.
What is abnormal is those who are ‘disengaged’.
If the gendarmerie captain's description is true, and these breakaways are well-organized and can easily defeat the majority of the Ruodan Restoration Organization by relying on a few people, then there may be two points.
First, there is a high content of extraordinary beings among these breakaways, and they are even themselves a ‘new organization’ composed of extraordinary beings from the restoration organization.
Second, this breakaway organization had already formed an organizational structure while the boss was still there. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the organization to have a strict organizational structure as soon as the boss died.
But according to He Ao's understanding of the 'boss', the boss is a 'tyrant' with a strong desire for control.
He would never allow a small organization, or a small organization with many extraordinary beings, to be born in his organization and become a 'state within a state' beyond his control.
Either these ‘breakaways’ themselves were established by the ‘boss’, or these ‘breakaways’ were originally ‘secret organizations’ that were attached to the boss’s organization and continued to grow.
If the organization of these 'breakaways' is an organization established by the boss, then it is unlikely that they can continue to maintain a strict organizational structure after the sudden and violent death of the boss, unless a new powerful leader emerges within them, and in a very short time
control these 'breakaways' within a short period of time.
Although this possibility is small, it does not exist, and this possibility is considered relatively good, and its scope is limited to the struggle for power and profit.
The worst case scenario is that these 'breakaways' form the structure of a secret organization under the nose of the boss, while the 'boss' is still alive, and without the 'boss' knowing, and are parasitic on the 'boss'
In power.
This means that there are actually many things surrounding the 'boss' that He Ao has not yet figured out.
Maybe the boss himself doesn't know these things.
He Ao did not see the three C-class Dawn members that the boss had transferred from the vicinity of the Tia Empire before during the Mysterious Shadow incident. After the incident, after the boss died, these three C-class members did not return.
Go to your original place of residence.
It was as if the world had evaporated.
Also disappearing from the world was the top C-class ‘painter’ who was once the main person in charge of the Western Territory region of Liming and was also the boss’s friend, whom Leader Liming asked He Ao last night.
He Ao used Dawn's authority to investigate last night. On the night of the boss's death, there was still news about the 'painter', but on the next morning, all contacts were suddenly lost.
Four C-levels are enough to shake the political power of some small marginal countries.
This is the 'missing' C-level that He Ao can detect.
Things seem to be heading in a complicated direction.
He Ao glanced at the time, it was almost half past ten.
——
Li Cheng sat at the exquisite dining table and looked at the Ruodan specialty barbecue placed in front of him.
The surrounding tables were empty, and in the huge restaurant, this was the only table dining at the moment.
"Li Cheng, are you sure he will come?"
An old voice came from the Bluetooth headset attached to the ear. This was the B-level Rudel of the Western World Tree.
At this moment, he was talking remotely to Li Cheng.
"I believe he will come."
Li Cheng raised his hand and glanced at his watch.
10:30
The roaring whistle suddenly sounded in the empty restaurant.
