After seeing the two fourth-level people suddenly appearing, Cheng Lin gave up the idea of escape.
Based on his experience, he was certain that if he didn't reveal a few trump cards, he would never be able to break out of the encirclement formed by these three people.
If He Shu is not here, he can consider activating all his strength. Although it is very risky, he still has the confidence to keep these people, but there are no what-ifs in life. He can't kill He Shu together in order not to reveal his trump card.
Lose.
He's not that kind of person.
…
"If I were you, I would choose to give up running away and raise my hands to surrender." The mysterious fifth-grade man said in awkward Chinese, with a very calm and confident tone.
"Brush, brush." At the same time, the two silent four realms each pulled out a spiritual sword to block Cheng Lin's path, which immediately caused the "He Sword" in the spiritual world to tremble. Fortunately, Cheng Lin
Suppress it in time and prevent it from happening.
After a second of silence, Cheng Lin lowered his shoulders: "I surrender."
…
…
"thump."
Being roughly pushed to the ground by a fourth-level move, Cheng Lin pursed his lips and said nothing, but the corners of his tightly closed mouth sank downwards. He lowered his head and looked in front of him. His two wrists were covered by a pair of silver handcuffs.
Firmly fixed together.
It was a strange-looking handcuff, engraved with fine magic patterns and inlaid with an energy storage chip similar to a power core.
At this moment, the chip shows a red open state.
Cheng Lin recognized that this was a type of "magic-forbidden handcuffs". Once turned on, it could block a certain range of supernatural effects around it.
What he has in his hands at this moment is obviously high-end goods and worth a lot of money.
He tried to release the power, and saw the lines on the handcuffs light up for a moment, indicating that the power failed.
"It's useless. Even fifth-grade magic-forbidden handcuffs of this level may not be able to break free."
He Shu said dejectedly.
He also had a pair of these things cuffed on his hands, and he was now sitting on the sand next to Cheng Lin. Because of the potion he drank before, the wounds on his body no longer bled, but he was still weak. He was cuffed and kicked by the other party.
He was on the ground, and when he got up, he was in a terrible state.
"You should have reminded me immediately that the other party has a response staff."
Cheng Lin glanced at him, his tone a little cold.
"...I didn't expect them to really come here."
He Shu defended himself, but his voice was obviously a little weak. He didn't even dare to meet Cheng Lin's eyes, but turned his head subconsciously.
After two seconds of silence, this genius with strong limbs and a simple mind drooped his ears and squeezed out: "I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."
There was no expression on Cheng Lin's face: "Is it still interesting to talk about this now? Let's think about what to do next."
After restraining the two people with magic-forbidden handcuffs, the fifth-level man began to take out potions to treat the spy, while the other two ran towards the oasis, seemingly investigating the situation.
Cheng Lin remembered that this group of people came from the desert. According to the spies, they should have been tracked by some method along the way. This meant that the other party probably did not know the situation inside the oasis.
After imprisoning the two, the group of people relaxed and temporarily ignored them. They probably no longer thought they were any threat. In a sense, this judgment was correct, but...
…
"You overlooked something."
Cheng Lin lowered his head, hiding his face in the shadows, and moved his wrist to confirm again that he could still successfully open the spiritual world.
The magic handcuffs can prevent him from releasing his abilities "outwardly", but they cannot block his "inwardly" actions.
The spiritual world is imprinted on his palm prints. Cheng Lin doesn't even need to release his spiritual energy. He only needs to mobilize a trace of power within his body to pry open the door to the spiritual world and summon puppets and combined fighting spirits to appear at any time.
This was also the reason why he chose to surrender to temporarily stabilize the situation and look for opportunities. If the other party really wanted to kill him, he would have no choice but to do it. As for what to say...
"If it doesn't work, lock him in the spirit world and keep him company with Ciri... water the flower fields and fertilize them..."
No one knew that Cheng Lin had already started thinking about how to arrange work for He Shu.
It probably took a few minutes.
The spy finally regained his strength and stood up and walked to the two of them. He sneered condescendingly and said: "What did I say? I just said that I don't want you to be happy too early. You didn't expect that you would fall into my hands, right? You set the question."
, why don’t you come out?”
Cheng Lin looked at him calmly and remained silent.
Probably disappointed because he did not see fear on the faces of Cheng Lin and He Shu, the spy pulled out a spiritual sword with a ferocious smile and pointed the cold tip at the two of them, "Don't say anything? Okay, then never say goodbye."
Said it!"
After saying that, he raised his spirit sword and was about to chop it down. It was obvious that he was going to kill someone. Cheng Lin lowered his eyes with a cold light and sighed in his heart, thinking that he would have to reach this point after all. Then he prepared to open the entrance to the spirit world.
However, the wrist that held up the spiritual sword was suddenly grabbed.
"Wait, don't kill him yet."
The one who spoke was actually the fifth-grade expert.
"Why? Mr. Bennett, these two are both members of the Xia Kingdom's government. Keeping them here will only be a hidden danger." The spy was puzzled.
The fifth-grade strongman named "Bennet" shook his head and said, "We haven't left the border of Xia Kingdom yet, and the people from the First Division are still chasing us. I found you first, but it doesn't mean that we have already."
Safe, keep them as hostages, the living are worth more than the dead."
After a pause, probably sensing the spy's dissatisfaction, Bennett softened his tone a little and said, "When we leave the country, these two people will be left to you to deal with, and I won't stop you anymore."
"...Okay," probably seeing Bennett's determination, the spy gritted his teeth and agreed, took back the spirit sword, and then said bitterly, "I'll let you live for another day or two!"
Cheng Lin's open right hand closed again and clenched into a fist. Next to him, He Shu sighed angrily at the other person's leaving figure and cursed. Obviously, He Shu was extremely concerned about being treated as a "hostage".
Not reconciled.
Hearing him curse, Bennett snorted coldly and seemed to come over to teach him a lesson. But at this moment, two fourth-level explorers ran back and shouted something in English.
Cheng Lin listened attentively, but could barely understand a few words. Probably because he saw that Cheng Lin didn't understand much, He Shu suddenly translated in a low voice: "They said they found a lot of things in front... Well,
Magic cores, animal bones, a lake and so on."
"You have such good hearing?" Cheng Lin was surprised.
"It's okay. This is a mandatory requirement within the department. We have special foreign language training." He Shu said.
The First Division also provides foreign language education? Well, that’s not surprising. It is said that the First Division deals with foreign monks all year round and deals with international affairs. English is indeed a very practical and necessary skill.
Over there, Bennett was very interested after hearing the news. After leaving a fourth-grade guard to guard Cheng Lin and the two, he personally led people into the oasis. Because of the plants that emitted light, Cheng Lin could clearly see
When Bennett started to lead people to pick up the magic cores, he specifically picked out those of fourth grade and above. However, because Cheng Lin had already raided them before, there were not many left.
Bennett seemed to have the same storage equipment. Cheng Lin clearly saw that he stuffed a lot of magic cores into his pockets, but there was no sign of the pockets bulging.
"They are stealing! This all belongs to our country!"
He Shu looked at this scene and was so angry that Cheng Lin laughed in his heart, thinking that this young man named He was interesting. He was still paying attention to this when he saw that his life was in danger.
As for Cheng Lin, he was happy to see the outcome. In fact, he suddenly realized that being caught was not entirely a bad thing.
"The substances in each projection are exactly the same. I was thinking before that I couldn't take too many magic cores from this oasis, otherwise the secret would be exposed when the major departments and bureaus arrive to divide it up and finally check the general accounts.
, the major departments will find that a large number of elite-level magic cores of Projection No. 2 are missing. If traced in this way, it will be easy to locate me..."
"Originally I thought of taking it first, and then seizing the time to go to Projection 1 to get some more, leaving 300 pills, and putting the rest in the car and taking them back to the Ninth Division to hand in. In this way, the missing ones from the two projections would be averaged.
The number of magic cores is not too many, and each department is careful about hiding supplies, so it can be fooled."
"But now Bennett has helped me solve my trouble. Even if the major departments find out that the magic core is missing, they can blame it on these people. They are really the perfect scapegoats..."
Cheng Lin thought about it in his mind, and the depression he originally felt after being caught suddenly dissipated.
Especially when he thought that he could find an opportunity to kill these people in the future and obtain Bennett's storage equipment, Cheng Lin became even more happy. The "bracelet" revealed by the Black Killer Guild Leader not long ago contained so many good things. This Bennett
Nate must have a lot of treasures, right?
Cheng Lin thought further and further, and gradually he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and chuckle.
No one else noticed it, but He Shu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hear it.
He looked at Cheng Lin who was smiling in horror, with a look of fear on his face. After a moment, he lightly touched Cheng Lin with his shoulder and asked cautiously, "Brother... are you okay? Actually, don't be too desperate, this is still in the projection.
, In our territory of Xia Kingdom, it is still far away from the national border. People from our company are also looking for me. They may catch up to me in a short while. We haven’t reached the desperate situation yet, so don’t give up hope!”
Forehead……
Cheng Lin's smile froze.
Could this statement mean that I was mentally stimulated and that’s why I laughed?
Cheng Lin wanted to say that I wasn't... but considering that it was difficult to explain, he could only acquiesce and let him do whatever he wanted.
Pursing his lips, he was about to ask He Shu about the specific details of why they appeared next to the oasis.
Suddenly, a familiar roar was heard.
From the side of the oasis, an off-road vehicle with dazzling lights was speeding towards this side.
Cheng Lin took a deep breath and widened his eyes, thinking that He Shu would not tell him. Someone from the First Division had arrived, right?
