Chapter 487: Seizing the Wing Blades Again, Targeting the Lord
Northern regions, the very distant north.
It's only the beginning of October, but the northern land is already a world of ice and snow.
The Arctic winds sweep across the vast Arctic Ocean, heralding the change of seasons.
In this sparsely populated barren land, a modern research center is half-concealed underground.
A military force is stationed here.
The army has no unit number and seems not to be part of any nation's military system, but its sophisticated equipment clearly shows it is a regular force.
The open area is exposed on all sides.
Occasionally, helicopters take off and land in the sky.
All indications suggest that such a place is not suitable for a surprise attack.
However, the same saying goes, as long as there are people, there is space for Lin Xiaosu to operate.
The perimeter is guarded by sentinels.
So, let's start with the sentinels.
In a moment, a sentinel near the mountain seemed to vanish into thin air. The next moment, he reappeared from around the corner, adjusting his uniform, and the patrolling sentinel across the way looked over without any suspicion.
The sentinel had been replaced just like that.
Then, it's time to infiltrate.
The password, as long as someone has used it before, under the time space reversal, becomes a clear guide for Lin Xiaosu.
Soon, he was inside this heavily guarded military base.
Inside the military base, a commander died in the restroom, and just before dying, he told Lin Xiaosu the location of the Wing Blade.
The next moment, he transformed into the appearance of the commander and came to check the basic situation of the Wing Blade.
A few sentinels followed beside him, guarding the inspecting chief throughout the process.
As a heavy iron door opened slowly, Lin Xiaosu saw the Wing Blade.
Two Wing Blades quietly leaned against the corner.
These are the final two Wing Blades of the Nine Headed Snake.
"General!" A researcher stood at attention up ahead.
"How is the Wing Blade condition?" Lin Xiaosu's voice was calm, with a faint metallic undertone, the standard accent of this base's general.
"Just completed the inspection, everything is normal!" the researcher said.
Lin Xiaosu strode forward, extended a finger, and pointed at the place between the Wing Blade's eyebrows.
Under the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit, the Energy Stone was sufficient.
With a gentle swipe of Lin Xiaosu's finger, the Array Power was released, destroying the modern add-on attached to the Wing Blade — the central control system.
Once the central control system was destroyed, the alarms blared.
Soldiers suddenly oriented, their eyes fixed on the alarm above.
An emergency command came from a communication device: "Wing Blade central control disconnected, close the base immediately!"
The entire base began the shutdown procedure.
In the research room, several researchers were dumbfounded...
The general was inspecting on-site, how could there be a sudden problem with the Wing Blade?
How's that possible?
Just then, Lin Xiaosu's fingers drew a few strange trajectories on the place between the Wing Blade's eyebrows, and suddenly its eyes lit up.
"No problem!" The research leader, seeing the green glow in the Wing Blade's eyes, was reassured.
But glancing at the adjacent Wing Blade, his heart skipped, could it be this one that had the issue?
He was just about to approach to check.
Lin Xiaosu pointed again at the place between this Wing Blade's eyebrows and drew one more strange trajectory.
The Wing Blade under his finger also lit up.
The researchers glanced at each other: "No problems, so why the alarm?"
As soon as the words fell, the Wing Blade suddenly spread its wings!
Swoosh!
Four researchers were cut in half...
Amidst a chorus of screams, the two Wing Blades simultaneously turned around and rammed into the wall behind them.
A solid reinforced concrete wall broke open a large hole.
Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily, stepped onto the Wing Blade, and soared into the sky through the large hole, disappearing beyond the firmament.
The news from the base reached the island at sea immediately.
The message bearer lay on the floor, his back soaked through.
He had a premonition that the Lord would not be able to accept such news, the Lord might even kill...
However, after hearing the news, the Lord was like a statue, completely frozen...
The message bearer quietly raised his gaze and saw clouds of distress swirling on the Lord's face, sensed the signs of a volcanic eruption...
However, the Lord took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
The entire process, suffocating.
"Lord, it's time to deploy Old White." An elderly voice sounded.
The Lord suddenly turned around; beside him, an old man of Caucasian descent, decrepit and ancient, had appeared unbeknownst to him.
"This person has already obtained that deadly documentation, sufficient to destroy our century-old foundation. No matter how deep the infiltration, no matter the mission's magnitude, the time to act is now," the elderly man said.
The Lord slowly nodded.
Jingnai City, West District, the night was calm.
A regular residential house, with gentle lighting.
Under the light, Blood Trace and Blue Demon cast their gaze out the window, both with a hint of excitement.
In a foreign land, engaged in top-level espionage, they dared not be careless. They hadn't contacted Lin Xiaosu, nor did they know his current situation, but some news had reached them through various channels, causing waves of turmoil in their hearts that never ceased for a moment.
The whispers in the city were increasingly ominous.
So much so that in the hotel, they felt unsafe and chose a private residence instead.
The night was deep.
The streets were silent.
Autumn wind arose, and the leaves fluttered down.
Suddenly, a breeze stirred in the hall, and two figures appeared out of thin air before them.
It was Lin Xiaosu and Saintess Qian Ling.
They didn't use the front door; they came through the window.
But their technique of entering through the window was so subtle that even the two Heavenly Kings couldn't catch it.
"What's the situation?" Blue Demon stepped forward.
Lin Xiaosu's smiling face appeared under the light: "Qianlong might need to spend some money!"
With those words, the two Heavenly Kings were stunned.
Blood Trace's eyes widened: "Qianlong needs to spend? How so?"
"I remember the bounty for slaying a Heavenly King is 5 million. This time, 101 needs to transfer 30 million to me!"
"The Six Great Kings, all wiped out?" Blood Trace's eyes shone brightly.
Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Iron Blood Heavenly King Jin En, leader of the Ghost Wolf Army; Fog Heavenly King Audrey, the fashion queen of Luoba State; Ice Heavenly King Kelson, Royal Guard Commander of the Luo ri Country; Fiery Fire Heavenly King Leis, head of the Leis family; Dark Heavenly King Duto, owner of Perro Group; Water Heavenly King Joseph, chairman of the Romanian Executive Committee."
Each of the Six Great Kings matched one by one.
Blood Trace felt a wave of shock after another in his heart.
The information he and Blue Demon had gathered only concerned two of them: one was the Ghost Wolf Army leader, Jin En, and the other was the owner of the Perro Group, Duto, both slain by the Wing Blade.
They had speculated that these two were definitely important figures in the Nine Headed Snake, slain under Lin Xiaosu's Wing Blade—given that the global narrative had shifted, many people naturally attributed the Wing Blade killings to the Nine Headed Snake, but they knew these two had been killed by Lin Xiaosu's control of the Wing Blade.
Who would have thought they were both Hydra Kings, and what was even more unexpected was that he didn't stop at just these two; he wiped out all existing six Hydra Kings in one blow...
Blue Demon's eyes gleamed: "There's a question. When was Joseph, the Romanian Executive Committee chairman, killed?"
"The night before last!"
"That's not right, he just appeared on TV." Blue Demon and Blood Trace both said.
"This is the trickery of the Venerable Hydra Snake. The real Joseph is already dead in Tokyo!" Saintess Qian Ling said, "The Joseph everyone sees is a designed double. He was originally intended to be sent to us for killing, but he saw through the disguise and directly bypassed the fake to strike at the real one."
The two Heavenly Kings looked at each other…
In just three days, all six Hydra Kings were eliminated.
What a tumultuous event this was!
As long as they return to Qianlong Headquarters, as long as they verify the identities of these six people, their trip to Luoba State will go down in history.
"Coming to Luoba State this time, the set mission goals have basically been achieved. If there's any regret, it's just one—an issue about that mysterious Lord," Lin Xiaosu said, "I've used various methods for tracing, and so far only have one image, but this image, by normal judgment, isn't very valuable."
"An image? Where did it come from?" Blue Demon asked.
"It was captured from the video connection between this Lord and the Fog Heavenly King," Lin Xiaosu replied, "The Fog Heavenly King stated clearly that this image is not his true appearance. The Lord gave strict orders to all major Level 1 Kings not to detect the Lord's identity, so even up to the Heavenly King level, they remain unaware of this Lord."
"Even the Kings who are just one level away from him are unaware. The secrecy is well-maintained," Blood Trace noted, "Then this image, as you speculated, isn't of much value, since forging a communication image is way too easy."
"The image? Let me see!" Saintess Qian Ling said.
"There's no image ready. I'll draw it on the spot," Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, grabbed a pen, and pulled out a piece of white paper, drawing on the spot.
Everyone watched him draw in real-time, feeling amazed.
He could draw?
But the next moment, everyone was stunned.
The drawing was lifelike.
It was completely in a realistic style—this showcased the formidable nature of Human Tao Orchid Heart, where what he saw was perfectly imprinted in his brain, and his hand matched the mental image perfectly, resulting in a perfect presentation.
A Caucasian man, around fifty or sixty years old, with hair and beard neatly maintained, and under Lin Xiaosu's pen, each strand of hair was vividly detailed.
There was an inherent sense of majesty without anger, coupled with an air of Western nobility.
Blue Demon's eyes blinked, activating Dragon Eye to capture this image, Qianlong System initiated a database comparison.
Qianlong's database was ever-improving, ever-expanding, aiming to include notable people globally.
In an instant, millions of individuals were subjected to comparison in the database.
Ten minutes later, the comparison ended.
100% confirmed matches: none.
95% similarity: over a thousand.
Below 95%: astronomical numbers.
The few compared the data of those with 95% similarity, quickly filtering and sifting, their heads spinning for a while.
Blood Trace gently shook his head: "Considering the possibility of faked data in this image, this kind of comparison is actually meaningless."
Blue Demon agreed.
Image falsification was too easy in itself.
This person could even snatch someone's photo, fabricating the identity of the Venerable Hydra Snake's Lord for someone, making such an investigation doomed to no result.
"This person has a striking feature—green eyes, and a very peculiar green, like a patch of green spreading from the base of the eyeball upwards, causing his gaze to shift with his emotions, and this isn't faked, it's a natural physiological trait," said Lin Xiaosu.
Blue Demon's eyes brightened: "You saw this through the image?"
"Yes!"
Blue Demon said: "I once met someone who very closely aligns with what you described, from a special family with unique hereditary genes."
Lin Xiaosu's eyes shone: "Which family?"
"Chaispur!"
