At the edge of the square, in the darkness, Sun Xiao's voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a huge weight.
Hearing what he said, the other two fell silent.
At this moment, they all understood clearly in their hearts that the so-called "protection" was just a cover for being used, and Sun Xiao's real purpose was obviously to help Cheng Lin escape.
Unexpected and reasonable.
Hu Rui, who was standing aside, sighed silently, knowing that there was no point in saying anything else.
The only thing he can do is to wait until the incident is over and help him make "perjury".
Fortunately, Sun Xiao has not lost his mind yet, and the reason he used is barely reasonable. Considering that Deputy Director Huang will most likely protect his shortcomings, even if he is reported to the police in the end, the most he can do is to be dismissed from his post.
"Are you sure you want to stop me?" The young sergeant suddenly calmed down and asked again. However, the intercom button in his hand showed no signs of relaxing, and instead pressed harder:
"Do you think I will be afraid of threats?"
Sun Xiao didn't answer, but pressed the weapon harder, and the smile on his lips became a little wider.
Next to him, Hu Rui's eyelids suddenly twitched, his spiritual energy stirred slightly, and he tried to activate his powers to prevent the situation from getting into an irreversible situation.
After all, there is room for redemption for Sun Xiao's current actions, but if someone really dies, then he is really finished.
And right at this moment.
Suddenly, the protected passengers at the back of the square exclaimed, attracting the attention of the three people.
"Fly! He flew away!"
"Look! He's running away!"
"He went east!"
Amidst the noise, the three of them only saw the figure on the square suddenly pull out a spiritual sword, and then the sword flew up.
In an instant, he jumped into the air, then looked down at the earth, and without any hesitation, flew straight to the east.
Before anyone could react, he disappeared into the darkness.
"Headquarters! Headquarters! The target has left the site and fled eastward! Repeat! The target has fled eastward!"
Seeing this scene, the officer broke away immediately and quickly shouted into the intercom. Hu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, the spiritual energy in his body spread out, and the tense heartstrings relaxed.
As for Sun Xiao, he just stared blankly at the shadow disappearing in the night sky. As if all his strength had been drained away, he sat down on the cold ground and murmured in a voice that only he could hear.
:
"Run, run quickly..."
…
…
Beijing.
Secret Service Building.
A few seconds after Cheng Lin's sword flew up, the relevant news was transmitted back to the headquarters through the intranet.
At the same time, through satellite positioning, the technical department also graphically depicted his flight trajectory.
If you look at the map, you will find that Cheng Lin is flying towards Lianshi Port in an almost straight trajectory.
"The target is flying to the port as expected!"
"Passengers near the station have successfully exited the station. No one died and some were slightly injured."
In the building, messages were received one after another and delivered to the relevant personnel.
In a temporary command room, when Shi Shengcun saw the relevant report, his expression hardly changed at all, as if he had already guessed the result.
"It seems that he is indeed trying to leave the country through Liangang." Next to him, Xu Yan, who was sitting on the other side of the desk, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said in a serious tone.
In the entire command office, there were only two of them at the deputy department level, and the rest were missing.
Shi Shengcun did not respond to this, and seemed a little worried: "I always feel that things will not go so smoothly."
"Oh?" Xu Kuan was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "The matter is very clear. Under the current situation, he obviously wants to leave, and leaving by sea is a relatively good plan. The Pacific Ocean is so big.
As long as he enters, it will be difficult to find him, let alone catch him."
"Do you really think he is running away?" Shi Shengcun raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and then sighed in Xu Ku's doubtful eyes and said, "If you want to escape, don't mention this whole day.
Plenty of time, just assume that he decided to leave the country because of the wanted order or other factors, so why did he still carry the communicator with him? It is impossible for him to be unclear. We can use this to locate his traces, not to mention
He said he would use his real identity to buy tickets.”
"you mean……"
"I don't know," Shi Shengcun shook his head calmly, then pinched his eyebrows, "I hope I'm thinking too much."
After a pause, he asked again: "Has the arresting team arrived?"
"They arrived five minutes ago and are gathering near the target port. If nothing else, they will meet each other soon." Xu Gu replied, paused, and then added, "But it is indeed a bit hasty to mobilize the manpower, even if there are two
Even with the seventh-grade realm, the defense line is not very stable..."
Hearing the words "the defense line is unstable", Shi Shengcun nodded: "Very good."
If anyone else was here, they would probably be very confused after hearing this conversation. However, Xu Qui did not express any abnormality. He thought for a while and said:
"I'm just worried that Li Yang and the others can't control the heat...Although you have explained it to them before, but...although I am not a practitioner, I also know that sometimes when fighting occurs, the situation is difficult to control."
"This is what I'm worried about too," Shi Shengcun rubbed his brows again, "However, I think he should have been able to see what we meant. If there is a tacit understanding, it shouldn't be a big problem."
As he spoke, he picked up his fingers, tapped the latest report on Sun Xiao on the table, and then smiled:
"Actually, what I am most worried about is that he is motionless. Now that he has made a gesture of fleeing, I think, at least, we have avoided the worst situation."
…
…
Lianshi.
In the night sky, probably due to the evacuation of people, the streets seemed particularly cold. Therefore, the lights in the densely populated high-rise communities were brighter.
Cheng Lin controlled the spirit sword and broke through the icy air. He felt that the faint sense of danger from the dense firearms behind him faded away, and he clearly understood that he had left them far behind.
"Your mood is a little abnormal, is it because of that acquaintance of yours?"
During the flight, Nuwa's voice suddenly appeared in Cheng Lin's mind.
That is achieved through a spiritual tentacle that connects to the spiritual world.
If you look carefully, you will find that there is a luminous point in the palm of Cheng Lin's right hand, which is the door to the spirit world with only a gap open.
Such a small door cannot allow people to enter or exit, but it is enough to establish a spiritual connection and... a network to the outside world.
"That's right." Cheng Lin's lips didn't open or close, and he responded with his mental tentacles in his heart.
He was not surprised that Nuwa could sense his emotional changes, because emotional connection was originally a characteristic of spiritual antennae.
He had no intention of hiding this.
No one knew that at that time in the square, facing the dazzling searchlights and facing countless gunshots, Cheng Lin did have the slightest idea of taking action.
Not much, just a trace.
However, in the end, a very important reason that made him choose to fly away directly was Sun Xiao and his colleagues in Group 8 and Group 3.
Regarding Cheng Lin's response, Nuwa did not continue to ask. Obviously, she was not very interested in it.
Through the connection with the spiritual tentacles, Cheng Lin could clearly see that Nuwa was sitting at the dining table in the spiritual world villa at this moment, holding a sensor connected to a strange-looking computer in her hand, and there were constant messages on the screen.
Information transfer.
"I need to remind you that based on your current flight speed, you will arrive at the port in three minutes, and the team responsible for arresting you is waiting there. Well, judging from these documents, it seems that the other party is empty.
Young Master...I personally suggest that it would be better for you to hide."
Nuwa looked at the information flow on the screen of this computer-like "workstation" assembled by Fertile Land and said lightly.
While talking, a figure wearing a pink apron came from the open kitchen carrying a plate.
Ellu put the hot dishes on the dining table with her white arms, looked into the air, bit her lip, and nodded worriedly:
"I also think you should avoid it. Although...I don't know much about your current situation, but...wouldn't it be nice to come in and have dinner with us?"
Cheng Lin, who was flying in the night sky, smiled when he heard this and responded:
"You guys can eat. Don't worry. Don't worry about me. If nothing goes wrong, this interception will end soon."
"You seem to have overestimated your own strength." Nuwa shook her head and said.
"I know my own power very well," Cheng Lin replied in his heart while maintaining flight, "Indeed, two seventh-grades plus enough elite masters from the first division must be an extremely powerful force. If
Surrounding me with all my strength, ordinary seventh-level people are afraid that there is really only one way to die, and I, without the corresponding powerful superpower blessing, can only retreat with the sword energy of He Jian... However, the premise of all this is
They will give it their all.”
"You mean..." Nuwa was confused.
Then I heard Cheng Lin answer: "Perhaps, the one in the world that least wants me to be pushed into a hurry right now is the Secret Service."
"They left me a whole day just to get me to leave. Now that I have made a gesture of leaving, how can they really stop me?"
In the dark night, the spirit world pierced the air and made a roaring sound. Cheng Lin's hair was messed up by the wind, but his eyes were extremely bright.
"If I guessed correctly, these people should have understood their mission before arriving here. Yes, they indeed must intercept me and adopt a fighting posture. This is what they do to the international community.
From the looks of it, and even more so to domestic public opinion, they need to show their full strength in hunting me down, but they don’t dare to push me any further... So, how can they go all out?"
Yes, this is Cheng Lin's judgment of the current situation.
This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't care much about the "line of defense" in front of him. Otherwise, as a monk who has just entered the seventh level, how could he be so careless and reckless?
However, the ideas he mentioned were only limited to the "high-level people" and would not be passed down because it was unnecessary. This was also the reason why the officer in the square wanted to kill him with all his heart.
Nuwa listened to Cheng Lin's words with a dazed look on her face. For her, these "human intrigues" were too complicated and difficult to understand.
However, these matters must never be discussed openly, so even when communicating internally, the method of "hint" is used.
As a result, even if Nuwa could eavesdrop and intercept all the letters on the Secret Service's intranet, she still could not parse the real orders.
After moving her lips, Nuwa finally sighed and called out from the bottom of her heart: "Cheng Lin."
"kindness?"
"You humans are so complicated."
Hearing Nuwa's emotion, Cheng Lin couldn't help but smile, and then thought, if human thoughts were not too complicated, how could you "crash" and "lose your memory" during the deduction, and finally enter the spirit world and become my employee?
Woolen cloth?
"No wonder you are so confident, but do you really want to go to sea from here?" Nuwa recalled the conversation between the two in No. 16 Spiritual Land a few hours ago and asked with some doubts.
But there was no answer from Cheng Lin.
This spiritual tentacle suddenly fell into silence.
After more than ten seconds, Cheng Lin suddenly became energetic and said, "Let's not talk anymore."
Immediately, he cut off communication with the spirit world.
Instead, focus all your attention and look forward.
The high-rise buildings under his feet have gradually become rarer, and hills and trees have appeared, which means that he is flying over the forest park on the map, and further ahead is the dock area.
From this distance, he could already see the bright pilot lighthouse in the dock area, and even vaguely heard the sound of the waves.
He was in a trance for a moment, recalling his experience here during the original deduction.
Yes, it's not his first time here.
As early as the "Maelstrom" deduction, he had been to this dock, and here he witnessed Shi Shengcun's self-destruction, the space gate condensed into a solid body, and he used the "Silver Moon Cane" to use the "Fire Meteor" superpower
Magnified countless times, it summoned meteorites falling from the sky to cover the entire Bohai Sea, so much so that it boiled the entire sea.
Now, he finally came here again, but his identity was no longer one of "them".
With a silent sigh, Cheng Lin cheered up and looked forward. The delicate scene in his eyes slowly rotated. He opened his "hazy eyes" and tried to see clearly the situation in the dock area.
However, when I entered my eyes, I did not see the expected dots of "starlight", but a dense white.
It was an invisible fog covering the long dock and coast, like a giant dragon lying in the shallows.
Cheng Lin's eyes moved, then he smiled and said to himself: "Is it a barrier?"
In his judgment, similar scenes should belong to the barrier, but what he saw in front of him was obviously a special form of barrier.
The coverage area is huge, covering almost half of the coastline. If you want to get around it, it will take a lot of effort.
Cheng Lin naturally had no intention of going around. Not only did he not slow down, but he accelerated his spirit sword, turning into a black afterimage that penetrated straight into the invisible mist.
When he crossed the edge of the barrier, he suddenly discovered that the scene in front of him had changed.
The originally dark night sky above suddenly became bright and brilliant.
Among the dots of stars, a lavender, extraordinarily huge moon hangs high, with clearly undulating mountains above it.
However, he knew very well that the starry sky was false. If he flew upwards, he would probably hit the "moon" after being lifted up to tens of meters.
He lowered his gaze and saw that the original hills and trees were still there under his feet, but they were getting smaller and smaller as he flew forward.
Finally, it completely disappeared and turned into a vast, completely empty harbor wharf without a single worker.
The light mist around him rolled like clouds, giving him a feeling of flying in the clouds. Cheng Lin pressed the cloud head and looked down, and saw a surging black sea.
That's the Bohai Bay.
Under the night, the almost dark sea water undulates erratically. Along with the salty sea breeze, waves surge up one after another, pushing up white waves.
And right on the edge of the pier and the sea.
On the top of a tens-meter-high iron frame used to transport containers, where he and Hu Rui had sat on it during the deduction to watch the grand "fireworks", a row of people stood on the ground.
figure.
Those figures are not conspicuous and can even be easily ignored.
They stood there in silence, wearing uniforms with small lapels and their backs straight, like dead things.
However, when Cheng Lin cast his gaze from the sky, this "dead thing" came to life, and a pair of eyes burst into bright light. In the vision of hazy eyes, in just an instant, countless beams of light rose in front of him.
Pillars of light rose up from each monk one after another, some were taller and some were shorter, which meant that their cultivation level, at a glance, almost none of them were lower than the fifth level.
Cheng Lin glanced around and roughly calculated that there were hundreds of these light beams.
This means that this team actually has hundreds of people.
This number may sound inconspicuous, even a little shabby, but Cheng Lin knew that this may already be the most powerful team in the world of spiritual practice.
Most of these monks have temporarily returned from overseas deployments. They are not "newcomers" or "rookies" like Song Xianzhen who have just graduated and entered the first division, but are a truly elite team with rich experience.
Most of them were so unfamiliar that Cheng Lin had only seen their faces in the information.
Even though they were still some distance apart and had a rank advantage, at this moment, Cheng Lin still felt a slight shiver in his heart, and subconsciously became serious, feeling heavy pressure.
Feeling the murderous aura floating in the air, Cheng Lin suddenly had a thought:
If he hadn't shown that he had thousands of "war soldiers" and elf warriors hidden in his body before, and if it hadn't made the Special Intelligence Department fearful, then maybe... today, they would really attack with all their strength and kill him.
Here it is.
Hmm... maybe, this itself is one of the "preparatory options"?
Indeed, from a rational point of view, there is a high probability that the other party will not dare to really kill themselves. They cannot afford the possible consequences... But there will definitely be some battles, whether it is to show public opinion at home and abroad, or
Otherwise, fighting is still inevitable.
Well... maybe, this is a kind of temptation in itself. If they feel confident that they will be killed instantly during the fight, then they will not refuse this option.
Thinking of this, Cheng Lin became a little more serious, considering that the result of this confrontation would be known to the whole world, especially considering his next "plan"... He pursed his lips and secretly decided that he should be properly shocked.
It's better to check people out.
And the moment he made up his mind, Cheng Lin felt the strong energy disturbance coming from the elevated structure in front of him.
Then, he saw a ball of fire suddenly rising and burning. It was Li Yang. In the lightless darkness, he really looked like a sun.
There was no communication, no exchange, everything happened so suddenly and so appropriately.
As the "sun" rose, the sea breeze suddenly became fierce. Cheng Lin squinted his eyes, as if he saw the sea surface getting brighter. At the same time, there were hundreds of metal friction sounds in his ears.
