Chapter 109 City Guardian, Tianyin
In Haicheng, in an old bungalow somewhere.
Lian Shou stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, walked to the door, and knocked gently.
"Come in."
A slightly vicissitudes of life voice came.
Lian Shou pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man sitting at the table, quietly sipping tea.
He looked vicissitudes of life. He was only in his thirties, but he looked like he was in his forties.
His temples were gray, and his eyes were also deep.
"Long time no see, Yin Yuan."
Lian Shou smiled and greeted, and sat down without being polite.
"Or should I call you now, the honorable city defender, Lord [Tianyin]?"
"I can't bear your calling me that, Lian Shou." Yin Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and spoke lightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"I didn't expect you to survive such a serious injury." Yin Yuan looked up and down at Lian Shou, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.
"Mr. Ghost Doctor saved my life with his miraculous hands." Lian Shou just responded casually, "But my current strength has fallen too much."
"Now I am no match for you."
"Don't tease me." Yin Yuan smiled bitterly, "No matter in the past or now, I am far behind you."
He rubbed his eyebrows, as if to relieve a little fatigue.
"You..." Lian Shou seemed to have noticed the strangeness of Yin Yuan, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Have you not slept in the past three years?"
"Yes." Yin Yuan responded calmly, "Three years ago, due to my negligence, more than 200 people died from virtual beasts, but I didn't notice it at all."
"This is a major mistake of mine. I can't save those lives in my lifetime."
"So you don't let yourself rest and always monitor all the energy fluctuations in the city?" Lian Shou's expression became solemn, "Even if you can use energy to recover physical fatigue."
"But this is too much of a mental drain on you!"
"If you don't rest well, one day you will be tense. can't stop. "
"This is my sin, I should go to atone for it." Yin Yuan seemed unwilling to mention it again, just waved his hand and changed the subject forcefully, "Why, you came to visit me specially this time, is there something important?"
"I brought this batch of freshmen to Haicheng for assessment, so I naturally have to report to you, the city defender, in advance."
"Humph, you are not that kind of polite guy." Yin Yuan snorted coldly and drank a sip of tea with disdain, "This time you must have something else to do."
"Hahaha, I can't hide it from you!" Lian Shou laughed a few times, then his smile was restrained and he got straight to the point.
"We were ambushed on the way here this time."
"Ambush?" Yin Yuan's movements paused, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"The other party is not a virtual demon, he knew our route in advance, and used the hidden virtual ball to release a peak-level collapse tiger." Lian Shou quickly brought out what he encountered on the road.
"According to my inference, the person who released the Collapse Tiger is most likely from the Virtual Demon Council."
"And only a handful of people know that our destination is Haicheng. I suspect someone has leaked our whereabouts."
Boom!
Yin Yuan slammed the teacup heavily on the table, his expression darkened, "Are you doubting me?"
"How could I doubt you?" Lian Shou shook his head calmly, "The defenders of the city will never betray."
"It's just that the person who buried the props used for the test was your assistant..."
"Don't worry, it can't be them." Yin Yuan replied indifferently, "When I told those assistants to bury the props you needed, I didn't tell them the truth."
"And they can't possibly know what those spirit beads are used for."
"In other words, if there is a traitor, it can only appear in your Longxia Academy."
"Well, it seems that you think the same as I do." Lian Shou shrugged and responded easily, "But I don't have any clues yet."
"So this is actually the main purpose of my coming here."
He looked directly at Yin Yuan and calmly stated his purpose: "If possible, I hope you can help me in tomorrow's test..."
...
In a hotel in Haicheng.
"What's the result?" Feng Ci quietly looked down at the night view of Haicheng through the French window and asked without looking back.
"What else can we do? That Benghu died before it lasted for fifteen minutes."
Ba Ding walked in from outside and shrugged his shoulders. "If I hadn't retreated quickly enough, I might have been stopped."
"I really don't understand why we have to do such a meaningless thing?"
"You should know how valuable a Peak Realm Virtual Beast is, right?"
"A Peak Realm Virtual Beast like this one that is forcibly infused with energy is really far less powerful than a normal Peak Realm..." Feng Ci turned around and muttered to herself.
She stretched her eyebrows and said lightly: "This matter is not meaningless."
"At least through this test, we have found out the specific strength of the teachers and students."
"And the other purpose is what our 'helper' asked for."
"He needs to evaluate the target we want to capture through this attack."
"Hmph, wasting a virtual beast just for such a purpose, the cost-effectiveness is simply too low." Ba Ding snorted coldly, expressing deep disdain.
"Use your soybean-sized brain to think more, don't always say these stupid things." Feng Ci scolded him coldly.
"Bing Zai has gone to the city to investigate, and the location of the boundary stone has been almost figured out."
"As long as we wait until noon tomorrow, the seal placed on the boundary stone will loosen and appear from the hidden space."
"Then we can successfully recover it."
"But tomorrow, the group of Longxia Academy students will also be scattered in the city and start searching for some kind of assessment target."
"So before we get the boundary stone, we still have to stay away from them as much as possible."
"Then what about the guy we want to capture?" Ba Ding asked.
"Don't worry, our 'helpers' will try their best to lead him to a deserted place the next day."
"After we retrieve the boundary stone, we will capture the boy and bring him back to Lord Jile."
Feng Ci stood up, twisted her graceful figure, and walked straight into the room, "You and Bing Zai should be careful."
"Before retrieving the boundary stone, you must not release any energy."
"This city is monitored by the city guards 24 hours a day."
"Once our energy is exposed, it will be discovered by them at the first time!"
"At that time, our lives will be completely in the hands of others."
"Especially you, you must remember it!"
