Chapter 67: Intelligence Warfare
The Haiyan disappeared in 1900, and sea monsters never appeared again in the southern waters of the Irish United Nations. Stephen Lieutenant was the manipulation target of the Demon Seed corruption.
During World War II, Stephen Simpson, who should have died in 1900, appeared on the battlefield, his appearance no different from fifteen years ago....
The plot of the Horror Cruise flashed through his mind at this moment, merging with the file attachments of the Irish Naval Headquarters, and a vague truth gradually emerged.
"So, the truth about the disappearance of the Haiyan is that the twisted Stephen Lieutenant killed all the The Way of the Extraordinary on the cruise ship and escaped with the Demon Seed."
Zhang Yuanqing was a little horrified, "The Demon Seed can make that ordinary person, after being twisted, defeat the Red Bishop at the peak of Level Six."
He and Guan Ya looked at each other with solemn expressions. What exactly is the Demon Seed?
An even more terrifying fact is that Stephen is still alive in the real world, and the Demon Seed is also very likely to be alive.
The "Demon Seed" in the Horror Cruise copy should be a replica generated by the Spirit Realm, not the real Demon Seed. The Spirit Realm is just replaying that piece of history into a copy.
"A bit of a ghost story!" Zhang Yuanqing sighed.
If Stephen Simpson is still alive, then what is his current level? He must have become a The Way of the Extraordinary. Such a deeply corrupted being will inevitably be qualified to receive a character card. Maybe he is a big shot in the evil camp.
The Demon Seed belongs to the Breaking Bad profession. If Stephen becomes a Breaking Bad, then one of the demigod-level, peak-level Overlords of the Biological Alchemy Society might be him.
"Guan Ya, go and check if Stephen Simpson's son has any descendants?" Zhang Yuanqing ordered.
The Way of the Extraordinary with blood-related descendants is a relatively stable medium. Using the bloodline of descendants can also reverse-curse ancestors. Of course, the curse strength will become very weak. If the ancestor's level is extremely high, then the curse may be useless.
But for Astrologers, the blood of descendants can reverse-deduce ancestors.
Zhang Yuanqing doesn't plan to deduce Stephen now because that's no different from courting death. He wants to wait until his level is raised in the future before he meets this lieutenant.
At this moment, the frosted glass door rang. Sun Miaomiao's clear and melodious voice came, "I'm coming in!"
In the next second, the office door opened, and Sun Miaomiao's lively eyes swept over the two of them, wrinkling her nose.
"Why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Jù Mang, Guan Ya, are you two plotting something shady?"
Guan Ya was very angry when she heard this. She is Yuanshi's legitimate girlfriend. What does Sun Miaomiao mean by this adulterous posture?
Ever since the Palace Master of the End of Slaughter came up with an example, Sun Miaomiao seemed to have learned the Dragon Slayer technique. On the surface, everyone is still good sisters, but in private, she often uses the fact that Guan Ya is Yuanshi Tianzun's girlfriend to deal with Jù Mang.
Zhang Yuanqing coughed and echoed, "Nothing!"
He pretended not to see the intrigue between the two, because according to the Palace Master of the End of Slaughter, women are born fighting experts, and the best way is to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Vinnie is looking for you for a meeting in Conference Room No. 3," Sun Miaomiao said.
Conference Room No. 3 is a large conference room.
Is the operation about to begin? Zhang Yuanqing's expression turned serious.
"There's a job. You guys stand by."
He got up and left the office and came to the door of Conference Room No. 3. Through the frosted glass wall, he saw that the conference room was pitch black, with no light coming out.
"Knock, knock!"
He knocked on the frosted glass door. The darkness in the conference room quickly dissipated, and bright light lit up. Then, Vinnie's voice came, "Come in!"
Zhang Yuanqing pushed open the door of the conference room and saw four men and one woman sitting at the conference table.
Ten people were sitting in the audience seats, men and women, white chocolate, black chocolate, and Chinese.
Zhang Yuanqing saw an old acquaintance among them, the Level Six Saint of the Anti-Black and White Alliance, Wings of the Wind God.
Is this a mobilization? Aren't they afraid that the evil camp will notice in advance with such a big commotion? Unless the strength of the evil camp is too strong.
So many Saints have to be dispatched... Zhang Yuanqing felt something was wrong...
He nodded slightly to the Wind God and carefully looked at the five people at the conference table. He knew three of them. One was Norse, one of the peak Saints of the New York County Heaven Punishment Branch, one was Reilly Eugene, a Saint of the Merchant Guild and a member of the Interests faction, and the last one was also an old acquaintance - Xia Zuo!
This Level Six Knight was as serious as ever, sitting there without expression, like a sculpture. Isn't he at Heaven Punishment headquarters? Why did he come to New York County?
The peak Saints of the New York County branch are only two. A lot of Level 4 and 5 Saints have been lost, so fresh blood should be added, Zhang Yuanqing thought.
The remaining man and woman, whose ages could not be discerned, had charming figures with attractive curves that made men want to tear off their clothes and force them onto the bed for a good ravaging.
With such familiar characteristics, Zhang Yuanqing immediately realized that they were from the Lust profession, the people of the Aphrodite Association.
The man had an arrogant expression, a burly figure, and lake-blue eyes. A beard covered half of his face.
While Zhang Yuanqing was sizing them up, the Saints were also scrutinizing this legendary Beast King. Especially the Lust profession woman, whose eyes shone brightly, looked at Zhang Yuanqing like a hunter who hadn't cooked in a long time was looking at prey.
The sound of chairs sliding rang out neatly. The Saints in the audience seats stood up one after another, nodding or smiling, expressing goodwill to this dazzling Beast King of the Five Elements Alliance.
"Sit down, everyone!" Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand, acting like a big shot.
Vinnie and Sean, the two main speakers, invited Zhang Yuanqing to take a seat at the head of the conference table. Sean uncovered a piece of red cloth, revealing a black sphere beneath the cloth.
In the next second, the conference room was covered in a layer of gray. After Sean Meade's introduction, Zhang Yuanqing learned the identity of the enchanting woman. Her Spirit Realm ID was Emily, a senior executive of the Aphrodite Association, and also the only peak Saint of the association's branch.
The bearded man was called Deep Sea Horror, a senior Saint of the Poseidon Church.
The five people at the conference table were all peak Saints, and the listeners were ordinary Saints, a total of fifteen Saints. Tsk tsk, this lineup is too luxurious. This is the rhythm of making things happen.
Zhang Yuanqing was thoughtful, vaguely grasping the purpose of this meeting. At this time, Sean Meade said lightly, "The personnel are all here. Let's talk about the goal of this operation. According to our intelligence, the Southern Faction of the Bingzhu Sect and the Night Rose in the Second District have sent a Saint team to sneak into New York County to aid the evil camp."
"The team has peak Saints and ordinary Saints, probably 10 to 15 people. Your task this time is to annihilate this team, especially the three peak Saints. They must die!"
As he spoke, he picked up the remote control and had the projector screen show the professional skills of Astrologers, Illusionists, and Enchanting Demons.
The Saints looked at the screen one after another, even though they were already familiar with this information.
Sean Meade continued, "According to reliable intelligence, this team will arrive at New York Port tomorrow evening, but radar and reconnaissance boats have not found any trace of the smuggling ship."
"So, tomorrow, Minister Vinnie and I will use the Sky Child to locate them. You will stand by at New York Port tomorrow. When the enemy's location is locked, Minister Vinnie will notify you, and I will prevent the Overlords of the evil camp from attacking."
Heaven Punishment intends to use that rule-type item. The Saints in the hall were shocked. In their understanding, that rule item can directly locate The Way of the Extraordinary and is Heaven Punishment's strategic weapon.
Is it a bit of an overkill to use this weapon to deal with Saints?
At this time, they heard a low laugh, "The Saint-level skirmish stage is over. Has the time finally come for the Overlords to fight?"
Vinnie and Sean exchanged glances, somewhat surprised. They didn't expect that among so many Saints present, Jù Mang was the first to realize the truth.
"Overlords fight? What do you mean?" A Saint with dark skin and thick lips looked at Jù Mang and then at the two chiefs.
Some Saints were thoughtful, while others were just confused, waiting for an explanation.
Zhang Yuanqing chuckled, "I have two Overlord-level props. One was left by Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other is Bacchus's. If the enemies are just three peak Saints and a dozen ordinary Saints, the hunting mission is enough for me and my team. Why do we need to gather you to participate in the operation? The more people there are, the greater the possibility of leaks."
"In addition, Astrologers can deduce the future. A Level 6 peak Saint, if he is an Astrologer, can even deduce the actions of a Level 7 Overlord. Did you hear the two chiefs mention Hidden Protection just now?"
After a pause, Zhang Yuanqing continued, "Because it's not needed. The two chiefs want the evil camp to play their cards in the open because we have the Sky Child and are taking the initiative. If the evil camp is unwilling to give up the Saints who are located by the Sky Child, they can only fight."
"If I were a high-level member of the evil camp, I would bet everything to destroy the advanced Saints of the Order camp, and preferably kill two Overlords as well. If successful, the situation in New York County would be completely changed."
The Saints' expressions changed slightly, and they looked at the two chiefs as if seeking confirmation.
Vinnie nodded slowly, "Tomorrow night's operation will indeed change the situation in New York County. The camp war has reached the stage where the Overlords have to come down."
Don't look at the fact that the Saints of the major organizations can make up several houses, but if they are distributed, there are actually not many.
The descent of the Overlords is already a matter of time.
Therefore, tomorrow night will be a turning point in the war. No matter which side wins, the Saints of the other side will suffer a devastating blow.
The war naturally transitioned to the stage of the Overlords descending. Vinnie's words made everyone's heart suddenly heavy.
In tomorrow's battle, the evil camp will definitely counterattack frantically and kill as many Saints of the Order camp as possible.
These people in the hall are all at risk of returning to the Spirit Realm.
At this time, the Saint Knight Xia Zuo stared at Zhang Yuanqing and said, "Have we met before?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Yuanqing chuckled, "When you were in China, I happened to be in a copy. Otherwise, how would Yuanshi Tianzun have the opportunity to be in the limelight?"
He was not afraid that Xia Zuo would recognize him at all. Illusionists are best at disguise, and their appearance and aura have changed.
The personality shown is also different.
Jù Mang is a character who seems gentle but is actually fierce and arrogant, while Yuanshi Tianzun is gregarious on the outside but actually unruly.
The underlying color of the personality is different.
But the knight's intuition is indeed surprisingly terrifying. I have to pay attention when I visit Vinnie's grandfather later. To be able to catch wolves with his bare hands, the intuition of an Overlord-level knight will only be stronger.
Sean Meade looked around at everyone and took out a knight's longsword, saying, "This operation is absolutely confidential. Everyone needs to take an oath."
At 10:30 p.m., at the Kunce District Hamburg Street No. 69 Massage and Health Club, Zhang Yuanqing, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, entered the health club with pink neon lights.
Japanese lanterns rendered a dim and ambiguous atmosphere. He walked through the corridor and came to the large bronze door, knocking gently. After hearing Catherine's soft voice from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.
Catherine sat on a single sofa, wearing a black knee-length dress, without exposed shoulders or enchanting attire, but rather formal.
"Just send me the mission on my phone!" Zhang Yuanqing sat down at the glass round table familiarly and poured himself a glass of water.
He came over after receiving a text message from Catherine and had actually expected it.
Zhang Yuanqing's mind was full of "Holy crap!" He didn't know whether to praise everyone for doing a good job with intelligence or to criticize the garbage job of secrecy. You infiltrate me, and I infiltrate you.
It would be better to set up a stage and have everyone from the Extraordinary to the Demigod directly duel on the stage to the death. It would be more simple and neat.
Before becoming a The Way of the Extraordinary and before coming to New York County, Zhang Yuanqing imagined the war to be like Zhao Zilong charging in and out seven times or Zhuge Liang planning strategies and winning a thousand miles away.
When he arrived in New York County, he realized that the war in reality was definitely an intelligence war. Heaven Punishment, known as the place with the most spies and special agents in the world, was up against the Free Covenant, which had been lurking for centuries and had pawns all over the major organizations.
The result is that I know your actions, and you also know my plans. Everyone is tacitly betting on luck.
"Can the Sky Child's positioning be shielded?" Zhang Yuanqing asked tentatively.
Catherine shook her head, "How can Overlord-level rule-type props be shielded? Unless it's a higher-level power, such as demigod-level Hidden Protection!"
Zhang Yuanqing analyzed in a serious manner, "So, you plan to use this opportunity to counter-ambush the Saints of the opposing camp?"
Catherine smiled, "Our Saint support team has a Level Six Astrologer. Heaven Punishment knows this and still chooses to snipe us. Why do you think that is?"
"Heaven Punishment has made full preparations?" Zhang Yuanqing said.
Catherine nodded, "We have no choice. We lost the war in the Saint stage. If we give up the power of the Second District's support team again, the ending will be the Overlords personally descending. In that case, it's better to take this opportunity to fight Heaven Punishment. We will launch a decisive battle tomorrow night."
"So there will be Overlords participating in the war tomorrow night?" Zhang Yuanqing nodded, indicating that he understood.
Catherine said, "Your main task tomorrow night is to participate in the Saint war and kill as many Saints of the Order camp as possible. Typhoeus, Cocktail, and Hydra will all participate."
It's going to be lively. The peak Saints of the two major camps add up to more than ten, Zhang Yuanqing curled up his mouth, "Interesting!"
He then said seriously, "New York Port is the headquarters of the Poseidon Church. Are you sure you want to fight there? The Poseidon Church has a demigod."
"The battles between Saints may not be cared about by the demigods, but in the Overlord's death battle, peak Overlords and even demigods are likely to intervene!"
Catherine's mouth showed a strange smile, "You have never believed in the existence of gods. Tonight you will have the opportunity to see a god!"
