Chapter 268 The Mystery of the Blue Skin - Operation Twilight City
40 days later.
11pm.
In the Hupo Research Institute, a special plane bound for Twilight City took off.
At this time, Feng Qi had not fallen asleep.
Because the Lord of Mist's first step plan to defeat the Scarlet Research Institute has officially begun.
At this time, he sat on the sofa in the room, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number of the Scarlet Research Institute.
After waiting for a long time, the call came through.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:
"You don't sleep at night? Don't you know you're bald after staying up all night?"
"My old fan has just left. Let me tell you the latest news."
"Wait a minute, I'll record it."
The voice of getting dressed was heard on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
About five minutes later, Wei Wei's voice came again:
"You can say it now."
Feng Qi did not hesitate and immediately said:
"The thing is like this, do you remember that the intelligence content I gave you said that Twilight City would be attacked by the Science and Technology Research Institute? In fact, the Lord of the Mist is behind this incident. The specific situation is as follows
of……"
It took him half an hour to reveal all the plans of the Lord of Mists.
This is not to find a way to deal with the Lord of Mist in advance.
In this timeline, he chose to side with the Lord of Mist, so he would not consider any means against the Lord of Mist.
The main reason is to give Scarlet Research Institute a warning in advance.
So that they can be prepared to minimize losses when facing pressure from science and technology research institutes in the future.
Especially the casualties on Twilight City's side.
After listening to his story, Wei Wei spoke solemnly:
"I didn't expect that the Lord of the Mist is the real mastermind behind the scenes. I will convene a supreme meeting later, and the meeting will discuss how to deal with this matter... But don't worry, our defense strategy will not affect you. The main thing is
In order to reduce losses, you are the core after all."
"Well, sister Wei, go to bed early."
"You too, little brother."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Qi leaned on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
The Lord of the Mists has now set off for Twilight City, and the first step of the plan to defeat the Crimson Research Institute has been officially launched.
The Lord of Mist's plan has been very clear and perfect in these days of planning.
He planned to use the tragic deaths of senior members of the Wolf-loving Chapter to arouse the vigilance of the shadow forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
In addition, he will also simulate the senior leaders of the wolf-loving domain war group to send misleading messages to the shadow forces.
If this plan succeeds, Scarlet Research Institute will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
This is obviously the main reason why the Crimson Base in Twilight City was attacked in multiple timelines.
Look at it according to the normal historical line.
The Scarlet Research Institute has not been defeated by the shadow forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
But the Mist Lord's plan was actually very successful.
The main purpose of the Lord of Mist's action to defeat the Scarlet Academy was to seize the spiritual resources originally allocated to the Scarlet Academy.
Although the Scarlet Research Institute was not defeated.
However, due to the fierce suppression by the Science and Technology Research Institute, he chose to hide from the world and hid in a secret base underground and no longer had much contact with the outside world.
The spiritual resources originally allocated to the Scarlet Research Institute have been reallocated within Star City.
Among them, the one with the greatest profit is undoubtedly Star City’s other giant research institute, Hu Po Research Institute.
Therefore, judging from the normal historical line, the Lord of Mist's plan is undoubtedly successful.
Feng Qi was originally very worried about this plan.
I thought it was my own appearance that caused deviations in history.
This gave the Mist Lord the idea of targeting the Scarlet Research Institute.
Now it seems that this is obviously a historical plot that will happen in the normal historical line.
It's just that he didn't investigate the relevant information at the beginning.
After listening to the Lord of Mist's explanation and comparing it with the normal historical line, he realized that it was just a false alarm.
As long as Scarlet does not fall, his timeline will not be considered a failure.
In his opinion, it would be good for the Scarlet Research Institute to hide in the underground secret base in advance.
Although the development of subsequent research projects will be limited by issues such as lack of resources, at least safety is guaranteed.
He also has no reason to prevent the Lord of Mist from launching this plan against the Scarlet Research Institute.
Leaning on the sofa, he then began to think about tomorrow's press conference.
During this period, the Lord of Mists used public opinion to build momentum for him.
Nowadays, the outside world is overwhelmingly talking about his evaluation and expectations for "Blood Sacrifice".
Tomorrow is the day when the test results of "Flesh and Blood Sacrifice" are officially released.
At that time, he will need to be interviewed by reporters sent from major cities.
This is undoubtedly an important link in helping the Lord of Mists promote "Flesh Sacrifice".
While thinking, he suddenly felt a crisis approaching.
The demon dragon's ability to perceive crises after his transformation made his hair stand on end, and he immediately turned his head and looked to the right.
A strange-looking sickle appeared out of thin air and struck directly at his head, followed by a familiar blue-skinned figure emerging from it.
Realizing that another blue-skinned assassin appeared, he quickly dodged sideways.
boom!
A black stream of light flashed, and the sofa he was originally leaning on was split into two pieces. The sickle continued to move forward, leaving deep marks on the special wall.
Looking at the blue-skinned assassin who was about 1.5 meters tall and holding a scythe, Feng Qi felt unlucky in his heart.
During this period of time, the frequency of assassinations against him by blue-skinned assassins continued to increase.
But fortunately he has the Lord of the Mists by his side.
Any blue-skinned assassin who comes will be easily killed by the Mist Lord.
Now that the Lord of the Mists has left, this blue-skinned assassin obviously needs to be dealt with by himself.
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists.
Immediately, the Demonic Dragon Rune Crystal was activated, and a steady stream of power was injected into his body.
The surface of the fist is covered with black energy derived from the rune crystal.
At this moment, he took a step forward and punched the blue-skinned assassin on the head.
The blue-skinned assassin was very alert and retreated, then the sickle in his hand slashed towards Feng Qi's head.
Facing the blue-skinned assassin who moved faster than himself, Feng Qi could only withdraw his strength to dodge and move his fist in front of him.
The scythe made contact with his fist, sparks flying.
He was swept away by the blow and hit the wall hard.
But such an injury would not cause any harm to him. The powerful physique of the demon dragon could repair the internal injuries caused by the collision in a blink of an eye.
At this moment, he got up and flew forward, avoiding another slash that came close to him.
After escaping the attack, he stood up.
Looking at the blue-skinned assassin who slowly turned around, Feng Qi felt bad luck in his heart.
If he had the ability of the main timeline, he would not pay attention to the blue-skinned assassin in front of him at all. He could press him to the ground and rub him back and forth in one encounter.
Especially after turning on the blood source form, it doesn't hurt to let the blue-skinned assassin chop a hundred scythes first.
But now he obviously does not have such fighting power.
Looking at the blue-skinned assassin who bullied him again, Feng Qi let out a roar with a ferocious expression on his face, then punched and took a step forward.
Seeing this scene, the blue-skinned assassin immediately slowed down and showed vigilance.
Taking this opportunity, Feng Qi decisively turned around and rushed toward the door.
Using all his strength, he knocked open the special metal door and ran towards the core area.
"Help!"
The sound insulation effect in the room is very good, so the sound of fighting inside cannot be heard by the outside world.
At this time, Feng Qi suddenly ran out, and several core scientific researchers standing in the core area immediately realized that an emergency situation had occurred.
So they decisively pressed the "ask for help" button.
The security personnel who were outside the core area received the message immediately, decisively opened the special metal door of the core area, and ran inside.
Then he saw the blue-skinned assassin who was chasing Feng Qi.
Without hesitation, they decisively attacked the blue-skinned assassin.
Looking at the blue-skinned assassin who was already surrounded by security personnel, Feng Qi felt calm.
These security personnel, as well as the scientific researchers who are conducting research, have been controlled by the Night Shadow Clan controlled by the Lord of Mist.
So he didn't worry about anything going wrong at all.
Even if they are not being manipulated, seeing the blue-skinned assassin is not a big deal.
But just when he was about to take action, something unexpected happened to him.
The figure of the surrounded blue-skinned assassin suddenly began to blur, and the surrounding space also became distorted.
Under the gaze of everyone, the figure of the blue-skinned assassin suddenly disappeared from where he was.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi was surprised.
This was the first time he encountered a blue-skinned assassin with the ability to jump through space.
Thinking of this, he quickly came to the control console in the center of the core area.
"Adjust monitoring." Looking at the staff sitting in front of the control desk, he said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing his order, the staff member did not hesitate and decisively called up the latest surveillance footage.
Just as he expected.
This blue-skinned assassin does not exist in the surveillance footage.
This made him think deeply.
Although he has had many contacts, he has yet to investigate any relevant information about the blue-skinned assassin.
After taking control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the Lord of the Mist also launched an investigation in this area.
I just found many records of the appearance of the blue-skinned assassin, but I still have no clue about the secret behind the blue-skinned assassin.
With his experience in multiple timelines, he only knows some of the rules of the blue-skinned assassin.
First, the blue-skinned assassin is not an elemental being. He has a body of flesh and blood, but does not have any organs in his body. After death, he will eventually turn into energy and dissipate.
Second, the blue-skinned assassin seems to be constantly receiving signals from the outside world, and may be a special being controlled by external forces.
Third, the blue-skinned assassin is not a robot. It has its own emotions. It will feel pain and surprise, but it is not afraid of death.
Fourth, the time when the blue-skinned assassin appears is different in each timeline.
Fifth, the number of blue-skinned assassins appearing is uncertain, and their strength is steadily increasing over time.
…
Judging from these factors.
The blue-skinned assassin is very similar to the monster in the game. As the protagonist's strength or progress increases, the monster's strength is also constantly increasing.
But the understanding of this kind of special life is still a mystery.
I just know that these blue-skinned creatures are collecting miraculous items all over the world.
The miraculous blood stone now controlled by the Lord of Mist was taken from the injured blue-skinned assassin by a battle group in the old Nitto supply area.
He has reason to believe that the creature behind the control of the blue-skinned assassin, or the group of the blue-skinned assassin, has mastered several miraculous items.
Therefore, the potential power of this force is extremely terrifying.
It is a potential terrifying opponent that he has not detected so far, and it will definitely be an obstacle to the growth of mankind.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.
As a sacrifice line, the most important mission is to investigate more information for the main timeline.
At least let the main timeline know who the opponent is.
He decided to wait for the Lord of the Mist to return, discuss it with him, and then launch an investigation into the blue-skinned creatures.
…
Three o'clock in the morning.
A Tiger Soul special plane hovered over the mountain forest fifteen kilometers away from Twilight City.
After the plane door opened, the Lord of the Mist wearing sunglasses jumped straight out of the air.
The Tiger Special Plane also changed direction at this time and began to turn back.
As his figure continued to fall, gray mist appeared at the Lord of Mist's feet, supporting his falling figure.
At this moment, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Twilight City.
In his opinion, the most important thing about this operation is to ensure the confidentiality of the operation.
Therefore, he did not let the Tiger Soul plane dock at the airport in Twilight City.
The next actions will be carried out by him alone.
At this moment, he turned into gray mist and flew towards Twilight City.
Soon, Twilight City surrounded by mountains appeared in his sight.
As a subsidiary city of Old City, Dusk City is located among the mountains to the west of Old City.
This city does not have a long history like the five major cities, or it is composed of the merger of several nearby cities.
The history of Twilight City is only a little over 200 years.
This place was originally a dense forest, which was formed into tribes by many fleeing scavengers and a small number of residents who moved from the city. It was then cut down and reclaimed to become a small city.
The entire city has four districts: east, south, west and north, with a total land area of 816 square kilometers.
Compared with other cities, Twilight City, as a subsidiary city, has a very obvious shortcoming.
The geographical environment of this city is relatively complex, and the actual area available for living is not much. Coupled with the lack of resources, the population has always remained at around 6 million, making it difficult to grow upwards.
The various types of materials consumed by the residents of Twilight City mainly rely on the support of the five major cities.
When Twilight City was first established, all major cities contributed, and major research institutes built branches there for the healthy development of the city.
However, Twilight City's geographical environment places many restrictions on the city's development.
It will be difficult to make another breakthrough.
It can only exist as a subsidiary city of the Old City.
While it was still dark, the Lord of Mist came to the sky above Twilight City.
At this time, he saw the city scene of Twilight City clearly.
Perhaps it’s because waste pickers have an innate sense of crisis about the city’s collapse.
There are a large number of battle fortresses and shelter buildings in Dusk City.
These buildings were obviously built to cope with the sudden arrival of the field.
In addition, a large number of advanced technological weapons have been installed in the city, and the internal defense is no weaker than the external one.
It's like this city was specially prepared for war.
This is also one of the advantages of small cities.
If it were a huge city like Star City, the resources needed to build a steel fortress like Twilight City would be unimaginable.
After flying over the towering city walls, the Mist Lord began to descend.
While scanning his eyes, he chose a dark corner with no lights.
What the Lord of the Mists doesn't know is.
At this time, in the general command room of Twilight City Military Headquarters, abnormal energy approaching in the air has been detected.
Anti-air defense is also a means for major cities to resist the invasion of realm-transcending beings.
After the Lord of Mist entered Twilight City, the Twilight City military headquarters urgently mobilized several troops stationed nearby to approach the location where the Lord of Mist landed, preparing to launch a search.
I want to confirm whether the sudden appearance of strange energy is related to the creatures beyond the realm.
At this time, the Lord of Mist has landed in an alley shrouded in darkness.
After transforming into a human form, he stepped out of the alley.
At this moment, he noticed that a large number of people in military uniforms were quickly gathering not far away.
Realizing the danger, he retreated decisively and reintegrated into the darkness, and cursed secretly in his heart:
