Chapter 485: The True Foundation of the Nine Headed Snake
The only one left...
Water Heavenly King, Joseph!
Dare you kill him?
He is the chairman of the Romanian Committee!
He is a prominent figure in international politics!
He just finished the Tokyo International Forum and boarded a plane back to Luoba State.
The Lord has ordered!
His protection is not focused on safeguarding but rather using all monitoring means to ensure the moment Joseph is killed is completely recorded, without missing any detail.
Of course, the magnificent Water Heavenly King, a super heavyweight piece in international politics, is not someone they would really give up willingly.
This Joseph is a stand-in!
Joseph returns, and the high-ranking officials of the Romanian greet him at the airport.
All links are fully activated...
The entire process is calm and peaceful.
There is no assassination, none at all!
However, in an ordinary restaurant in Tokyo, an assassination occurred, and a businessman was beheaded.
With this beheading, the Lord almost spat blood.
Because this businessman was Joseph, whom he specifically protected.
Joseph is a big shot in politics, upon whom the Nine Headed Snake relied heavily.
This Heavenly King is a key figure for the Nine Headed Snake to control Western politics, he can't afford to let him go.
Therefore, he set up double insurance and implemented a stand-in strategy.
However, Lin Xiaosu saw through this strategy, ignored the stand-in, and beheaded the real Joseph!
As a result, the Water Heavenly King is gone.
Not even a whisper can be raised.
Can you still accuse Qianlong of assassinating Western political figures?
Everyone saw with their own eyes this political figure striding back to the Romanian headquarters with ease and relaxation.
As for the businessman who died in Tokyo, how can you link him with a politician?
Lin Xiaosu's detective skills have become the most troublesome skill for the Lord at this point.
How did those damn eyes manage to be so piercing?
To be able to see through all the fog, grabbing where it hurts the Lord the most, pulling without mercy.
East Jingnai City.
A small lake.
The autumn water in the lake ripples gently.
Trees by the lake, the leaves slightly yellow.
A western-style café, the Saintess Qian Ling gently raises her hand, lifts the coffee in her cup, and lightly touches it against the cup of a handsome man who looks Western but has black hair. A voice like the wind through the forest drifts into his ear, "In two days, clearing the Six Great Kings created the greatest legend in history. Qianlong may not have raised a glass for you, but I celebrate you!"
Lin Xiaosu smiles slightly, "The next step is the most critical step!"
"The most critical?" Saintess Qian Ling asks, "Facing the Lord directly?"
"I haven't found this Lord yet." Lin Xiaosu says, "But he is not the most key target either."
Saintess Qian Ling says, "The most crucial target in your plan isn't the Lord?"
"Of course not!" Lin Xiaosu says, "The true foundation of the Nine Headed Snake has never been the Lord, nor the Eight Heavenly Kings, but its grassroots network spread all over the world."
Saintess Qian Ling is slightly surprised, the true foundation of the Nine Headed Snake is not the Lord, not the Eight Heavenly Kings, but those grassroots networks spread worldwide...
What is the meaning of this?
This statement overturns her struggle concepts from ten thousand years ago.
In the era of Wan Clan contend for supremacy, she was also a prominent figure and had led various actions.
Her sight was always at the top level.
Because she knew very well that the strength of a faction depends on the leader and the top level. Once the leader and top levels are taken, the small fry at the bottom of this faction are generally negligible.
However, Lin Xiaosu is exactly the opposite.
He gave the answer: the true foundation of the Nine Headed Snake is not the Lord, not the high-ranking Heavenly Kings, but the ordinary members below.
Lin Xiaosu explained: "In modern social systems, an underground force hidden in the dark is very different from a sect in the Jianghu..."
For example, the current Nine Headed Snake, its Eight Heavenly Kings are gone, but new kings will soon emerge.
If the Lord is gone, someone will take over and become the new Lord.
As long as those lower-level members are still there, those lines are still there, this organization will quickly resume operation. No matter how hard it gets hit, it is still the Nine Headed Snake.
But what if you dig out its grassroots?
Then, at most, this organization still has some experts, but without a foundation, it becomes fundamentally harmless.
Saintess Qian Ling nods gently, "I admit your theory is correct, but it is only limited to theory. The reality is the information of the Nine Headed Snake members spread worldwide is vast and mixed. Whether it's Qianlong or various countries' numerous security agencies searching for its members, there are daily discoveries, but that's about it. You can't possibly dig them all out at once."
"Not necessarily!" Lin Xiaosu smiles mysteriously.
"Not necessarily?" Saintess Qian Ling is taken aback.
"Don't forget, we have already infiltrated the highest level of the Nine Headed Snake headquarters. Any institution, especially a massive organization like the Nine Headed Snake hidden in the shadows, must have a complete personnel list!"
The coffee in Saintess Qian Ling's hand completely stops shaking.
The wind blows, but the steam above the coffee doesn't drift.
A complete personnel list.
Is it possible?
Theoretically, yes!
Why?
The Nine Headed Snake is a strictly structured, extremely complex organization with constant personnel changes. This organization issues a variety of tasks daily. Without a complete personnel list, how could they coordinate uniformly?
For example, to bomb a certain building, they always have to know if any of their people are in that building, right?
Or, to infiltrate an institution for a dangerous task, they need to know if they had embedded any mole there beforehand, right?
Precisely grasping personnel on global lines allows them to carry out tasks comfortably.
Therefore, the Nine-headed Snake Headquarters, in theory, truly has this personnel list.
"Even if there is such a personnel list, it should be top-secret among top-secrets, even the Heavenly Kings might not be able to fully control it. Could it be that this Fog Heavenly King actually has control over it?"
The voice of Saintess Qian Ling that entered Lin Xiaosu's ear had a slight change.
She was somewhat agitated.
Because this list seemed to become the true cornerstone of the vast Nine-headed Snake system.
She could scarcely imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if this cornerstone wavered.
"She does not have the list but she confirmed its existence, and she also told me the location of this list!" Lin Xiaosu said.
Saintess Qian Ling slowly put down the coffee cup: "Going now?"
"Go!"
The two left the café, looking very much like a Western couple, but the next moment, they seemed to vanish into thin air.
Then, a Wing Blade cut through the air.
Flying towards a place.
This place, north of Danmai Country, beneath a tall mountain.
There, was a modern research center.
In any research center, security is of utmost importance.
This research center even more so, because it is the core zone of Daisen Technology Company.
Daisen, a global chip giant.
Among the company's security systems, there are countless robots with the latest technology, there are High-level Gene People.
This is the protection known to ordinary people.
Yet in the eyes of Lin Xiaosu and Saintess Qian Ling, is it just these?
What they saw as High-level Gene People are Awakeners and Nirvanas!
Yes, there are Nirvanas!
The robots they saw, feared each possesses black technologies.
However, no matter how tight the security, as long as there are people, Lin Xiaosu has room to operate.
Once he used Transformation Technique, he turned into the security guard of the research center, entering with ease.
Then, after using the Transformation Technique four times, he understood the seven major divisions of the research center.
Among them, T3 zone was his area of focus.
There is the most important data storage center.
There, is a computer that is not networked.
After learning this top-secret information, Lin Xiaosu's heart pounded...
A fiercely beating heart.
In the modern society, stealing data through hacking methods is ingenious and also a very difficult way to defend against; you have hacker tactics, I have firewalls, you have viruses, I have antivirus, the cyber battlefield has always been invisible. Thus, there is one ultimate defense method, which is to completely disconnect from the network physically.
That non-networked computer, is it storing the most top-secret personnel list?
If it were an ordinary spy, they would likely pursue this direction without turning back.
However, Lin Xiaosu knew there is only one opportunity to get the data!
Once the grass is startled, the enemy would rather destroy this information than give him a second chance, so he proceeded cautiously.
His caution was to enter the third zone manager's office area using the Transformation Technique.
Seizing the moment this manager went to the bathroom, he sneaked into the bathroom and placed a finger on the manager's forehead, asking him a few soul-searching questions.
This interrogation, Lin Xiaosu broke into a cold sweat on his back.
How cunning the Nine-headed Snake.
The information known to this mid-level department manager turned out to be false!
In the T3 zone, there indeed was a non-networked computer, but it did not contain the personnel list; instead, there was a high-energy bomb that could turn everything biological in that specially designed room into steam.
The real personnel list is in the P3 zone!
There it is marked as "High-risk Radioactive Secret Laboratory."
This is the Nine-headed Snake!
Even deceiving their own people!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiaosu had been in this research center for half an hour.
He already felt the urgency of time.
After all, several people had already died in the bathroom. If undiscovered now, they would certainly find out in an hour or two.
He must hurry!
The next destination, he directly chose the P3 zone manager.
In the bathroom, he took a long breath.
The target was finally confirmed.
Next, he donned the white coat of the third zone manager and began his operation, heading to the high-risk radioactive secret laboratory.
At the entrance, there is biometric detection.
A green light circled him, and he passed smoothly!
This wondrous Transformation Technique!
Ahead, there was fingerprint detection.
His finger carried the skin of this manager, and he passed smoothly!
Ahead, there was iris detection...
Raising his gaze slightly, with a slight bloodshot in his eyes, he still passed!
With this pass, his rapidly beating heart calmed.
Extracted the manager's iris, deceiving the detection devices.
This even the most advanced spy of Qianlong performing would be an extremely precise surgery, he accomplished with bare hands!
Identity fully verified, it became simple afterward.
He used a time space reversal method, seeing the password the manager entered yesterday, according to the password, adding 1 at the end as the manager mentioned, passed smoothly!
