Six of Hearts' Empty City Strategy
Thief Saint, Lan Yu.
She was still wearing "Ying Fu's" clothes, walked straight to Chi Tong's office, pushed open the door and entered.
"How was it?" Chi Tong's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I tested him. He indeed hasn't recovered his mories. Those Dusk Society mbers probably haven't been able to make contact with him yet... Or rather, even if it's the 4 Kings, they can't do anything about the King's ability." Lan Yu answered leisurely.
Hearing this, Chi Tong finally let out a long breath of relief...
Lan Yu's testing just now wasn't groundless on the part of the Fire-Stealers. Last night, traces of the Dusk Society's 4 Kings were indeed discovered in the Wuji Domain, and their thod of appearance was exactly as described just now, weird and unpredictable.
If it wasn't for this, Chi Tong wouldn't be nervous to this extent. He knew the strength of the Dusk Society, especially the rumored 4 Kings, each one of them being Rank 8. Moreover, they usually wouldn't appear. If they really all ca for Six of Hearts, it ant the Dusk Society was truly getting serious... This also ant there was a possibility of the Grey King and the Red King descending as well.
Right now, the Wuji Domain had five Adjudication Proxies. Even if the 4 Kings ca knocking, Chi Tong wouldn't be afraid. But if the Red King and Grey King intervened, everything would be different.
With the Silver King absent, just relying on these people, plus a Lord of Wuji who was hard-controlled by the Silver King, it was absolutely impossible to be a match for the Red King and Grey King!
"Fortunately there's no problem on Chen Ling's side. Being surrounded by foreign enemies is one thing, but if problems occur internally as well, everything will fall into chaos..." Chi Tong wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"However, I don't understand why you wanted to pretend to be Ying Fu to test him?" Lan Yu asked.
"Ying Fu and Chen Ling entered the Wuji Domain in the sa batch, and during the banquet previously, their relationship seed pretty good... If Chen Ling really recovered his mories and knew that all 4 Kings of the Dusk Society had co, he would definitely relax his vigilance.
At this ti, if Ying Fu proposed they secretly join forces, it's basically impossible for him to refuse. After all, two people together is always better than fighting alone."
"Then what should we do next?"
"..."
Chi Tong looked at the four K-cards on the desk, his temples throbbing wildly, feeling a sense of ntal and physical exhaustion.
First it was the Queen of Diamonds, then the four Kings. He knew that the Dusk Society's high-level Combat Power was all converging here, while he was just a minor Thief Saint... If this pressure were placed on anyone else, they would probably have long been unable to bear it.
"What else can we do... Search!" Chi Tong gritted his teeth and spoke. "We have five Adjudication Proxies. Even if all four Kings are here, we are not afraid of them... Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find them!"
"Okay."
Just as Lan Yu was about to leave, as if she thought of sothing, she casually tossed a docunt in front of Chi Tong.
"What is this?" Chi Tong now got a headache whenever he saw docunts.
"Just now when I was outside the door, the subordinates sent this over. They said sothing about high-intensity overti at the Dirty Bomb factory a while ago leading to a worker's operational mistake, leaking so radioactive elents... Anyway, it seems quite a few people fell ill and need a Doctor."
"It's just a few workers. If they're sick, they're sick. Where do we have so many Doctors?" At this ti, Chi Tong's attention was all elsewhere, and his tone was extrely impatient. "Let them be."
"Oh."
...
Chen Ling once again put down his empty noodle soup bowl and burped.
He turned his gaze out the window, a faint light flickering deep in his eyes...
"Four Kings..."
The words Ying Fu said just now erged in Chen Ling's mind, his brain working rapidly.
Chen Ling didn't know that the Ying Fu was Lan Yu in disguise. He was just habitually cautious, plus he completely didn't trust Ying Fu to begin with... Ying Fu couldn't be considered friendly towards him. Rashly exposing his identity to join forces with him might not necessarily end well.
Of course, more importantly... Chen Ling completely didn't believe the 4 Kings had arrived at the Wuji Domain.
It wasn't that Chen Ling didn't believe his senior brothers and Senior Sisters would co save him, but rather he understood them too well. If they knew he was trapped in Wuji, they would definitely slaughter their way through directly and rescue him, instead of secretly putting Playing Cards on the road in the middle of the night to play psychological pressure tricks.
Chen Ling had just fabricated a "Queen of Diamonds", and overnight a few more "Kings" appeared. This familiar thod made Chen Ling imdiately guess the mastermind behind the scenes...
Fang Liangye.
"The Empty City Strategy huh... It is a pretty good thod." Chen Ling was thoughtful. "It's just that it still lacks so authenticity and impact..."
Walking out of the restaurant, Chen Ling saw Hong Xiu, wearing an Enforcer trench coat, walking towards the other side of the corridor. His heart stirred, and he smiled and went to et her:
"Miss Hong Xiu, where are you going?"
Seeing Chen Ling take the initiative to block the way and strike up a conversation, a strange look also appeared in Hong Xiu's eyes. She subconsciously swept her gaze around with her peripheral vision. After confirming no one was around, she nodded slightly:
"Going out to do sothing..."
Seeing this, Chen Ling directly leaned close to her ear and softly said sothing.
"Hmm?" Hong Xiu's expression was sowhat strange. "Hmm... that's not a problem..."
A smile appeared on Chen Ling's face,
"To what extent this play can be perford, will depend on you... Miss Hong Xiu."
...
Wuji Domain, Factory District.
Ordinary figures wearing factory uniforms walked slowly along the route to the Cafeteria. The mighty procession was like exhausted zombies, without a single trace of vitality...
In the crowd, there were a dozen people sporting thick dark circles under their eyes. After exchanging glances, they all silently began to shift their bodies, walking in the sa direction.
Taking advantage of the main force entering the Cafeteria, they directly walked out from the side and rapidly rushed towards a Warehouse in the back.
Tap tap tap——
A person knocked on the Warehouse's rolling shutter door.
"Who is it?"
The leading worker froze for a mont, thought carefully for a mont, and spoke uncertainly:
"I... uh... what was it again... Oh, I want to buy a ray of hope."
As his voice fell, the rolling shutter door opened a crack, and the few people sward in.
Under the dim light, Fang Liangye stood before a sealed window, turning his head to look at these dozen or so figures wearing work clothes... They were all workers of this factory, but at the sa ti, they had another identity, which was colleagues of the Human Rights Union.
Just like Fang Liangye, in order to protect the human rights and safety of the residents, they had used all their skills to entangle with the Silver Governnt. Writing letters, petitioning, marching, hanging banners, they had tried all thods, but had also been locked up batch after batch by the Detention Center... Those remaining now were basically all newly joined mbers.
Under the high-intensity oppression of the Silver Governnt, there would always be people who stay awake, and there would always be people who dare to fight, and such people were growing in number.
"Mister Fang! You are too amazing!"
The leading worker, looking only about sixteen years old, was a dirt-covered teenager. He looked at Fang Liangye with incomparable excitent,
"We followed your instructions, secretly tripped the circuit breaker, and then threw a few Playing Cards on the road... That group of dog things from the Silver Governnt were actually scared out of their wits today! Hahahaha!!!"
