Chapter 272
Chapter 272
: Both Ends of the Balance 57
On the last day of these seven days, Kai Xin really didn’t have the energy to take care of other things. She needed to rest and face the danger in the dark world after returning.
The angel’s spiritual coordinates have been removed. She no longer has to worry about the rebels suddenly killing her while she is asleep. Now she can have a peaceful sleep, and it doesn’t matter if she sleeps for more than ten hours.
When Kai Xin was lying in the lounge room, she could hear the slight conversation from the next door, it was Su Rong and He Kangshi who were talking, and she also heard the voice of Amber Obsidian, they were gathering together Let’s talk about the company’s future development and personnel recruitment… Yotsuba couldn’t understand, but would interject from time to time.
“The Lancet said that all kinds of materials have been processed, and now what needs to be considered is the office space.” He Kangshi said, “The price of office buildings in the city center is outrageous!”
“How expensive is it outrageous? Can you tell me?” Clover didn’t have a clear idea of these things.
“A month’s rent of 200,000 yuan is enough for you to eat more than 30,000 meals of milk and cereal.” He Kangshi explained in an easy-to-understand manner.
Clover exclaimed, “Wow…”
Su Rong said: “It’s cheaper to go to a place close to the suburbs, but the security is not very good…”
“Our force value per capita is quite high, so we don’t have to worry about public security.” He Kangshi said, “I can’t deal with awakened people with different blood. It’s still easy to deal with gang bastards.”
“Conflicts with them will attract the investigation department. For this kind of official department, we will not provoke them if we can.” Su Rong reminded.
“Hei Yao and I are fairly familiar with this city. There are a few places that I think are very suitable and can be considered.” Amber said.
“That’s great, there are some knowledgeable people in our organization.” He Kangshi said, “By the way, which of your twins is the elder brother and who is the younger brother?”
Black Yao said: “There is no birth order, we were born at the same time.”
He Kangshi didn’t realize it: “Is there a sequence of caesarean sections?”
“We are cultivated with artificial embryos.” Amber said, “We leave the factory on the same day and at the same time, and there is no priority.”
“Like four leaves?” He Kangshi understood.
“Yes.” Hei Yao nodded.
The background of the subordinates around Maotou Viper is really strange… He Kangshi thought about it.
No wonder she can be at easeThe natives of the second world, He Kang was still muttering in his heart at the beginning, but in the end he decided to believe in the arrangement of the spearhead viper. It is impossible for her to plant a time bomb around her. If she dares to employ someone, then that person must be trustworthy. of.
“The sound insulation effect of the inner wall of this stronghold is not good.” Su Rong said suddenly, “Keep your voice down, the viper must be very tired.”
He Kangshi immediately suppressed his voice and said, “You two must be tired after following her back and forth. Do you want to take a rest?”
“Thank you, I really need to rest for a few hours.” Amber said.
Hei Yao said: “I won’t sleep anymore, I’ve slept in the medical capsule for a long time.”
He Kangshi pointed Amber to an empty room and watched him walk in.
In the room separated by a wall from Hu Po’s lounge, Kai Xin’s eyes were already closed.
“Adam, wake me up fifteen minutes before midnight.” She said.
“The alarm clock has been set.” Adam said, “I wish you a sweet dream.”
But after Adam finished speaking, Kai Xin suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, “Do you know the meaning of the existence of teammates?”
Adam’s speaking speed also seemed to become slower, “What is it?”
“The meaning of their existence is to allow me to sleep soundly without being woken up by the sound of mice passing by.” Kai Xin said calmly.
“But you will be woken up by their conversation.” Adam said humorously, “Is this a gain without loss?”
“It’s different.” Kai Xin said, “At least I’m not in a neurotic state now.”
Kai Xin didn’t experience it before, but now he can. Hearing their conversation outside, Kai Xin didn’t feel irritable, but felt relieved.
“Then when you were asleep before, was my vigilant work competent enough?” Adam asked.
“You are very competent. You are one of the safety locks, and they are also safety locks.” Kai Xin said, “The feeling of having only one safety lock is different from the feeling of having many safety locks.”
“Now you have a lot of insurance.” Adam said, “You suddenly asked me this question, which surprised me.”
“It’s just that I suddenly felt a little emotional. Back then… it was indeed the right decision.” Kai Xin slowly closed his eyes again.
Between actions, she gained time to rest and think. Kai Xin knew very well that she might be able to go far by herself, but she might have to pay ten times and a hundred times more hardships than this. Having teammates can reduce detours and increase the fault tolerance rate.
Kai Xin fell into sleep.
Maybe it’s because she was really tired this week. After falling asleep this time, she didn’t have any dreams, and fell asleep until the alarm clock rang.
At 23:45, the alarm clock rang on time, and Kai Xin opened his eyes.
She washed her face, did a few stretches to stretch her muscles and bones, and walked out of the room.
Su Rong was already sitting at the table, and Hei Yao was reading a book with Clover on the sofa. After a few seconds, He Kangshi yawned and pushed open the door and walked over, followed by Amber.
Several people gathered on the first basement floor.
“The time is coming.” Kai Xin looked down at his watch, “Ash, Saker, remember to do what I told you to do.”
“Leave it on me.” He Kangshi gave a thumbs up.
“I can still do this little thing well, don’t worry!” Su Rong said.
Amber looked at Kai Xin and said, “Goodbye.”
“Come on.” Hei Yao smiled.
Clover followed up with the previous sentence: “Everyone, please do your best!”
Adam connected to Kai Xin alone and said, “I still wish you the best this time… goodbye.”
“See you later, everyone.” After Kui Xin finished speaking, the waiting time gradually passed.
It’s zero o’clock!
Kai Xin’s field of vision plunged into darkness on time, and the shadow holding the scale reappeared, and the red and blue gemstones dimmed and glowed in the scale.
The same whisper as last time flashed past his ears, and Kai Xin suddenly opened his eyes, feeling chills all over his body.
The first thing I saw was the mist, the mist of the dark world drifted around, the phantom manifested, and there was a silence, so quiet that it seemed that she was the only one left in the world. This excessive silence gave her a distorted illusion and made her doubt herself. Is it really still alive?
It wasn’t until he heard his own heartbeat that Kai Xin confirmed his existence.
As soon as she moved her fingers, there was a heart-piercing pain in her left arm, and a stabbing pain in her shoulder. Her whole body was extremely cold, her senses were numb, and her brain was obviously slow in thinking.
Kai Xin turned his head and looked sideways.
Augus should have been lying on the ground, but his body disappeared out of thin air, even the blood disappeared completely, as if he had never existed in the dark world… His body in the first world was wiped out of thin air.
That speculation was verified once again—the red and sapphire represent two worlds. If one of the gemstones is chosen, the body in the other world will completely disappear.
If Augus died normally, his body shouldn’t have disappeared… Or maybe the Dark Realm has the property of dissolving corpses, so the body will also disintegrate after death here?
Kai Xin reluctantly got up from the ground and looked at his hands.
The gunshot wound on her left arm hadn’t healed. Even though she wrapped the wound tightly with clothes, the blood still oozed out uncontrollably. Her entire left hand was an abnormal blue-purple color, and she lost feeling at her fingertips. She pressed her hand to her face, and she could clearly feel that the temperature of this hand was icy cold.
Compared with the gunshot wound on the arm, the scrape on the shoulder is nothing to mention.
Augustus hit Kaixin’s left arm, and the Dark Realm couldn’t heal it at all.
If she doesn’t go out, she may lose blood and die. If it is delayed for a long time, she may get a fever.
Kai Xin checked the firearms,Make sure the magazine is full.
She took out the pocket watch, wiped off the half-dried blood on the dial, and checked the time.
The pointer points to 00:02.
The time of this kind of watch has errors, it is either fast or slow, and it cannot be exact. She rewound the watch to keep it moving.
Kai Xin listened attentively, waited patiently for a few minutes, and made sure that there were no strange noises in the dark world, and then slowly walked out from the hiding place.
At zero o’clock, the gate of the dark world opens, and monsters have a chance to come out of it.
As for whether it was Menetho or an ordinary alien creature that came out, there seemed to be great uncertainty.
Kai Xin groped along the wall, and returned to the stairway where the upper and lower floors meet by memory, and slowly moved down.
When she came to the exit of the gate on the first floor of the tobacco factory, she only saw a gray-white wall, and the sign displayed on the wall was still “Fugang City Nuclear Power Plant”. When she touched the wall with her fingers, what she felt from her fingertips was not a solid touch, but it was not the feeling of touching the air, but it was like touching an invisible barrier, and the fingertips would be popped out if they sank into it.
This is the boundary of this dark world.
“We have to wait until the next midnight to find a chance to go out.” Kai Xin thought solemnly.
She had to wait nearly twenty-four hours for the next opportunity to try.
During these twenty-four hours, Kai Xin has to be vigilant against the multiple of 7, guard against the gate of the dark world that opens on time and the alien creatures behind the gate. She does not have an alarm clock and cannot wake herself up when the time is approaching. If you turn your head off, you may be killed on the spot by a foreign creature attack.
During the period of being trapped, Kai Xin either didn’t sleep or slept less, but people couldn’t accurately control their sleep time without external objects, and if they didn’t sleep, they didn’t have enough energy to deal with danger…
Kai Xin sat down with his back against the border of the Dark Realm.
Her physical condition is really not good, because she loses too much blood, she gets tired easily. If you fall asleep in this situation, will you pass out and not be able to wake up?
Fortunately, Kai Xin made some arrangements before returning. She was guarding at the gate of the tobacco factory just to wait for Su Rong’s response.
…
As soon as Su Rong woke up, she immediately separated the double body of the shadow and rushed to the tobacco factory. Before the shadow left, Su Rong gave it the second-hand spare mobile phone she bought for it to take with her, because the shadow can’t speak, and people Communication needs the help of tools, otherwise it has to rely on gestures and guesses, which is very troublesome.
When Su Rong loses consciousness, her shadow double body will collapse. Originally, her shadow double body stayed in the old industrial area, but now she has to send a new faction to go there.
Su Rong had already met Baige and Dusk before traveling through the second world last time, and they also discussed how to contact Kai Xin who was in the dark world.
But when Su Rong ran to the old industrial area, the two people who were guarding here before had disappeared.
She was very anxious, and her shadow double body circled around the old industrial area several times, looking for someone and regretting why she hadn’t added a contact method with them before, but now she wanted to contact but couldn’t find anyone, which was too late to get down to business up!
After going around in a big circle, Su Rong decisively decided to give up looking for teammates, and instead searched for food, medicine and weapons, intending to deliver these things to the dark world.
As soon as the shadow double came out of the old industrial area, he found a familiar figure walking not far away——”White Pigeon”.
Tang Guan was carrying a package in his hand. The package contained alcohol, bandages, tampons, and some anti-inflammatory drugs. He even bought a few tubes of antibiotics for injection.
Tang Guan keenly spotted the shadow doppelganger, he greeted him, and said in a low voice: “Twilight is going to prepare weapons, why don’t you find some food? Is she seriously injured…” Tang Guan saw the shadow making a tick , “Seriously? Then I’ll see if I can get painkillers…”
Su Rong instantly felt relieved. It turned out that these two people left the old industrial area to hurry up and prepare supplies. It feels great to be teammates with reliable people!
She controlled the shadow doppelganger and made an OK gesture.
It’s no longer possible to take into account the issue of not being exposed. It’s useless if her shadow is captured by surveillance, and it’s useless to find her if she is captured. She is safe.
Shadow rushed to the self-service vending machine on the side of the road, pulled out a banknote that had been prepared a long time ago from the black hole’s chest, and stuffed it into the vending machine. A large pile of energy drinks and high-calorie compressed biscuits fell down.
Su Rong asked Shadow to sneak into the roadside convenience store to find a big bag, packed these things up and hugged her, and ran to meet Tang Guan.
“Twilight and I agreed to meet at the main entrance of the old tobacco factory.” Tang Guan said, “Let’s go.”
They were in a hurry, Tang Guan fixed the package and started running. His posture was as swift and vigorous as a preying cheetah, and his speed was comparable to that of a world sprint champion. The physical fitness of the awakened person is much stronger than that of ordinary people. After Tang Guan’s body is strengthened by the symbiotic alien species, his strength and speed have increased many times. Su Rong’s shadow double body is still behind him. Big cut.
Soon they ran to the main entrance of the tobacco factory, and Yu Hanxue was already waiting here.
She carried a black lacquered equipment bag on her shoulder, which was bulging.
“I thought you could find at most a few steel knives?” Tang Guan looked at Yu Hanxue’s equipment bag hesitantly.
“This is what I asked others for. It is a thermal weapon. The reason why it is so bulging is because there is a soft thing inside to prevent shocks, otherwise it will easily collide and go off when thrown in.” Yu Hanxue said, “What have you prepared? Let me see Look… there are too many things that are too heavy and need to be delivered in multiple times.”
The shadow doppelganger hastened to suppressShrunk biscuits and functional drinks were shown to Yu Hanxue.
“Where did you get the hot weapon?” Tang Guan said and showed Yu Hanxue the medicine he bought.
Yu Hanxue stretched out her index finger and pointed to the outside of the tobacco factory, “A lady with long black curly hair, I had a chat with her.”
Tang Guan didn’t completely dispel his doubts, but he didn’t say anything anymore.
They packed things by category. Tang Guan said, “I’m the strongest, so I’ll throw it.”
“Okay.” Yu Hanxue handed him the equipment bag.
Tang Guan looked at the gloomy building in front of him, lifted his equipment, took a deep breath, swung his arms round, and with a bang, the equipment bag flew into the air, passed through the phantom wall and was thrown into the dark world.
“At least it went in…” Tang Guan heaved a sigh of relief, “Next, throw away the medicine and food…”
Inside the dark world, Kai Xin, who was resting against the wall, suddenly had a warning sign in his heart.
She woke up suddenly, without even raising her head, she rolled away from the corner of the resting wall before she could stand up in time. She had just left there for less than a second when a huge black package slammed into the place where she had been before, making a dull sound.
Kai Xin raised her head subconsciously, only to see two more packages breaking through the wall of the dark world and smashing down. She retreated to avoid, and the packages hit the ground with a loud bang.
If Kai Xin hadn’t been able to hide quickly, he would have suffered a concussion on the spot.
She squatted on the ground and opened the black package. The first thing she saw was not the weapon in the package, but a note. She recognized it was Yu Hanxue’s handwriting.
“I know you will be fine, don’t worry, just leave it to me outside. We have prepared some medicines and food first, and we will throw them in for you later.”
Kai Xin’s eyes softened. She opened the medical kit and injected herself with anti-inflammatory drugs, and disinfected the wound with alcohol.
There were suture needles and staples in the package, as well as tweezers, but the current situation is not suitable for removing bullets, unless she wants to bleed again. Kui Xin endured the pain and temporarily sewed up the blood hole from the gunshot wound, and finally wrapped it tightly with gauze.
With these supplies, Kai Xin can last longer.
She breathed a sigh of relief, carried the package with great effort, and changed to a more secret hiding place.
…
“Lucky Goose…” He Kangshi frowned, beating his stomach.
In fact, before his return today, he had already typed up the draft, but the matter was of great importance. He Kangshi was afraid that he would fail to communicate well and fail to live up to Kuixin’s trust, so he was very nervous and typed up several drafts.
Kai Xin said that there is no need to contact Lucky Goose in a hurry, and wait a day to see the situation, but this did not relieve He Kangshi’s tension at all.
Contacting “Lucky Goose” is something to be done after tomorrow. In addition, he also needs to post a post on Black Snake’s personal board to openly seek cooperation.
After the manuscript was almost finished, He Kangshi wrote down the main points of communication in his notebook, and only then did he feel that he had a clear idea.
He stretched himself, opened the forum, and routinely browsed the posts to obtain information.
But as soon as the forum was opened, He Kangshi’s hand holding the mouse became stiff.
He let go of the mouse and rubbed his eyes. His expression was so brilliant that his entire face was almost pasted on the screen.
The titles of several posts floating on the homepage of the forum were quite explosive. He Kangshi just glanced at it as if his face was covered by a meteorite. Shocking emotions almost overflowed from his wide-open eye sockets!
The title of the number one post reads: “Crazy! Depriver No. 233 killed Depriver No. 777!!”
“Slow down! Slow down!” He Kangshi’s face was full of hell, he scratched his head with his hands and scratched his hair, “The spearhead is Depriver No. 233, that’s right…she killed Decapitator No. 777? When did it happen?” ? Killed in Fugang City? Damn it!”
The reason why He Kangshi was so shocked was because he didn’t know that Kai Xin had killed Augus. He only saw from the news that Kai Xin’s identity was exposed and wanted. The news showed that she had a conflict with the Special Intelligence Department in Fugang City. , not a word about Depriver 777.
This caused He Kangshi to think that there were only two parties in this conflict from the beginning to the end – Kui Xin and the federal department. He had no idea that there was an invisible third party in this matter – Depriver No. 777!
Is Depriver No. 777 dead, or was it killed by Depriver No. 233? !
He Kang suddenly felt like a dream, and howled like a ghost, he just wanted to rush to Kai Xin and shout to her: “Sister! Why didn’t you tell me! What kind of deep hidden skills are you doing with this iron relationship between us?” Name? The forum has notified you to let me know what happened two days in advance!”
It’s a pity that his ghostly howl at this moment is destined to be unknown.
After He Kangshi finished howling, he calmed down almost immediately. He thought of a terrifying thing, and he had been thinking about it for the past few days—the real name of the depriver No. 233 was Kuixin, and now everyone who saw the wanted notice knew that she was a depriver.
Her information will be exposed across the board, and players may fear her, stay away from her, and attack her.
He Kangshi’s turbulent heart fell silent for an instant, and when he refreshed the post on the homepage, his mood was completely different, with a trace of heaviness.
The titles flashed one by one.
“It’s confirmed. On the arrest warrant, the supernatural ability of the wanted girl is deprivation. She is definitely Depriver No. 233! The Federation has her identity!”
“An unprecedented SS-level wanted criminal, a special wanted level specially set up for her alone. The highest wanted level before her was S-level. She set a precedent for SS-level wanted criminals! Good guy, I dare say that this row is absolutely It’s unique!”
“Look at the news, Depriver 233The No. 1 riot in Fugang City was on September 2, and the notification to kill No. 777 was also on September 2, so it was a three-party melee in Fugang City that day? Depriver No. 233 killed No. 777, and escaped under the siege and interception of the Special Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department…”
“It’s really crazy. Is this something that humans can do? I work as a social animal in the second world, and a person who is my age in his early twenties is already so strong that he is abnormal.”
“I heard from the news that the S-level commissioner of the Special Intelligence Department participated in the siege of the SS-level wanted criminal. The minister also participated in the battle, but she still ran away. These are two S-levels!”
He Kangshi kept refreshing the page, and every time he refreshed, a large number of new posts popped up, the titles flashed, and his expression repeatedly jumped between shock, sorrow and joy, fear, worry, and numbness.
The refreshed titles are not only in Chinese, but also in English, Russian and Japanese. Players all over the world are discussing the same person – Depriver No. 233.
He Kang Shi clicked into a post with a high degree of discussion.
The title of this post is: “From the perspective of combat power alone, Depriver No. 233 is a well-deserved player at the top of the pyramid and the number one player in combat power!”
First floor: The two deprivers who caused a huge sensation on the forum are now only one left. Most players thought that No. 777 was a top player, enough to wrestle with depriver No. 233, but the fact is that he was defeated by Kill with your own hands. I think the real No. 1 player in the forum has been confirmed now, and he deserves his name, undisputed!
I really want to know, how strong is she? She killed No. 777, and she will definitely inherit all his extraordinary abilities. This is probably the basis for her to escape in Fugang City. With such strength, who else can check and balance her? Who else can beat her?
