"Ten Chi Xiao Knights split into two groups to enter Immortal City, and you’re in the second group, setting off one hour later," Zhou Yishang glanced at the ti, "You should go get disguised now."
Ji Xinghuo left the office and headed to the Special Service Section.
There were already four swordsn present, two n and two won. Ji Xinghuo’s gaze swept over them; none looked easy to ss with, each of them was at least a Super Mutant, imnsely powerful.
All four were Chi Xiao Knights.
Ji Xinghuo only recognized Ling Yufei and nodded to her before lying down on the operating table, waiting for the surgeon to disguise him.
"You are also taking part in this mission?" Ling Yufei asked with so surprise.
"Mm."
Ji Xinghuo replied once.
"Gu Yan, is this the new Chi Xiao Knight?" A man in his thirties asked Ling Yufei, he had been observing Ji Xinghuo but couldn’t make anything out.
"He is called..."
Ling Yufei was about to say Ji Xinghuo’s na but suddenly rembered the principle of confidentiality. Chi Xiao Knights should not probe each other’s identities unless necessary. Moreover, Ji Xinghuo’s identity was special; his na was on the Sky Ladder, which made it easy to expose.
"His code na is ’New Sky’, he was just promoted to Chi Xiao Knight last month," she briefly introduced.
Each Knight of the Sword Bureau had a code na.
Ji Xinghuo chose "New Sky", a na he picked casually, using the nickna he had on the Martial Arts Platform.
Ling Yufei’s code na was Gu Yan, and she introduced Ji Xinghuo to the other Chi Xiao Knights.
Of course, she only introduced their code nas.
They were all colleagues from the Sword Bureau, and there were no conflicts of interest. Although they were competitors in this mission, they needed to cooperate, so the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
About to embark on a mission, no one was really in the mood for chatting or making new friends.
Privately, Ji Xinghuo committed to mory the physical characteristics and magnetic field patterns of these Chi Xiao Knights.
Soon, the surgeon was ready.
Ji Xinghuo lay at an angle on the operating table as the doctor injected a prepared potion into his face. Instantly, he felt the muscles on his face tingle with a sour numbness and pain, the flesh under the skin writhing. In just a few dozen seconds, he had transford into another face entirely.
Standing up and looking in the mirror, his eyebrows were raised, his eye sockets deepened, and his skin tone darkened.
His hair was then dyed brown and styled into a Mohawk, shaving the sides to leave only a thin layer and carving out geotric patterns, quite dashing.
In less than twenty minutes, Ji Xinghuo had beco a punk-looking spirited young man.
A swordsman from the Information Departnt handed over a data card.
"This is your identity in Immortal City."
Ji Xinghuo read it carefully.
The na of this identity was "David Renatus", 27 years old, a mixed-race of Latin and Asia-Pacific Community, grew up in the Asia-Pacific Community since childhood, and beca a rcenary in Immortal City five years ago, earning a living by taking on so "dirty work."
David’s occupation was Ranger, an Interdiate Mutant, skilled in firearms shooting.
This identity was completely real, truly existing in the database of Immortal City.
Every once in a while, the South Arican branch of the Sword Bureau would send a swordsman to pose as David, acting in Immortal City to maintain the authenticity of this identity.
This type of identity was called a "Scabbard."
Around the world, the Sword Bureau forged and maintained nurous Scabbards across all professions. When swordsn needed, they would utilize these Scabbards to undertake missions in disguise.
The other Chi Xiao Knights had also completed their disguises, each having a Scabbard of their own.
The "Planning Departnt" of the Intelligence Information Departnt, a team specifically responsible for this action, held a brief eting with the five Chi Xiao Knights.
Zhou Yishang was the chief in charge of the operation.
When the eting ended, Ji Xinghuo and the other four imdiately boarded a Sky Fighter and headed for the Chaka Star Gate.
The fastest way to travel on Earth was not by vacuum train or Sky Fighter but through the Star Gates, which connected various locations.
Immortal City had a Star Gate, which while nominally controlled by the Arican Federation, was really owned by three major conglorates. They worked together to circumvent federal laws, and entering the Star Gate simply required a passage fee. Regardless of who they were, it was possible to travel between Earth and Immortal City.
Monts later.
Ji Xinghuo and the others used a special pass from the Sword Bureau, avoided the queue, and entered the Star Realm through the Chaka Star Gate, arriving at Olympia.
The five Chi Xiao Knights did not stay together but dispersed throughout Olympia City.
As previously agreed.
Ji Xinghuo wandered around Olympia City for two hours, then returned to Star Gate Square, headed to the sector of the Star Gate that led to Immortal City, paid the toll, and smoothly entered the Star Gate.
The scene before him twisted.
When Ji Xinghuo’s vision restored, he found himself inside a huge building. The Star Gate was at the center of the hall, surrounded by bright light as if it were midday. Platoons of fully ard soldiers stood around, while countless weapons hid behind the high walls.
He sent out his magnetic field scanning.
The Star Gate hall was located at the bottom of a massive skyscraper whose height exceeded two thousand ters, soaring into the clouds. The hall was extrely modern, with floor as clean as a mirror and walls made of large connected electronic screens, guiding people on how to exit the place.
Ji Xinghuo’s eyes swept over the surrounding soldiers, feeling a chill in his heart.
These soldiers were part of the chanical Rebel Army!
On the surface, they were still human, but beneath their armor and helts, most of their limbs and organs had been replaced by synthetic machinery.
This kind of chanical Rebel Army, based on Mutants and endowed with technological weapons, possessed strength far beyond that of their mutant peers.
