Chapter 31 The Gaze of the Mantis
About an hour after a meal.
Boom, boom.
The sound of the cane hitting the wooden board echoed back and forth in the corridor on the second floor of the wooden house.
The old lady bent forward, carefully observing the sleep quality of the children in each room.
Gradually, she walked to the small room at the end of the second floor, deftly poked open the poster paper covering the crack in the door, and leaned in with an old eye to look inside.
Young man lies in bed and falls asleep deeply.
During the past period, the old lady had been observing 'Zhou Tiantian' for a long time and knew that he was one of the rare people who did not snore. However, judging from his breathing rate and physical condition, he had indeed fallen asleep.
Afterwards, Mrs. Kong turned and left. She picked up her crutches and made a very light walking sound when she left.
Wang Jixuan turned over and sensed it carefully.
The old lady left the wooden house and walked around for a few minutes. When she came back, she locked the door and turned on the intruder alarm in the yard.
After doing this, she walked back to the study tremblingly.
Wang Jixuan took out a button-shaped device under the pillow and clicked to activate it. A faint light appeared on the button, and a palm-sized surveillance screen appeared in the center of a narrow room.
The shooting angle is a vertical angle from directly above.
About two minutes later, a slight noise came from the study.
From the surveillance perspective, the old landlady sat on her wooden chair, slowly turned half a circle, and slid into the secret room with the chair.
The secret door behind her slowly closed, and Wang Jixuan could see a corner of the bookshelf in the study;
This was a secret room embedded in the study, and it was also the first thing Wang Jixuan discovered.
Soft light appeared in the secret room. Mrs. Kong pressed a few buttons. The screen placed diagonally in front of her was lit up, and a spacious conference room appeared inside.
There are seven or eight figures on a conference table, and Mrs. Kong seems to be sitting at the front of the conference table.
Wang Jixuan looked carefully and soon saw a familiar person among these figures - the silver-haired old man who had turned into a one-eyed dragon, Wen Heisen.
Wen Heisen's neck is still wrapped in a bandage, and he has not fully recovered from the last injury.
Because he could only see images, Wang Jixuan could not sense the opponent's aura, so he could not tell which two were the psychics sent by Thirteen. However, he chose to remember these guys in case he met them later. Cherish this relationship.
"BOSS."
A burly old man on the right side of Wen Heisen, at the front of the screen, shouted in a deep voice:
"You should have received the message, that guy is here again.
"His attack this time targeted our lower-level cadres and the cold storage he attacked last time, but this time he entered the cold storage. We are rescuing materials in the cold storage. There are nineteen cadres, one hundred and forty He killed six horse boys and suffered heavy losses.
"I suggest that you don't care about the power consumption! You must light up everywhere, then set up a bait, hook him in and use a machine gun to sieve him!"
The old landlady said "Yeah": "Are you using your aggravated tone to express your anger?"
"No, BOSS."
The tone of the burly old man suddenly became much gentler.
The old landlady leaned back on her chair, thinking constantly, and asked slowly: "Where are our powerful psychics? Have we not been able to track them?"
Seat at the end of the conference table.
A middle-aged woman and a young man looked at each other. The woman in an elegant dress raised her chin at the man, gesturing for him to speak.
This young man is thin, almost skinny. He has a pair of highly myopic glasses on his nose and is a bit reserved.
"Dear Ms. Mei, we have used different methods, psionic and technological.
“But this guy is cunning.
"My unique ability is to track scent, but his scent is very light. He seems to have hidden it consciously. His ability is very comprehensive.
"The detection on the technology side is also very troublesome. His equipment this time can actually block thermal imaging and biological information tracking, and our bioradar cannot lock him...Sorry."
The old landlady nodded slowly.
She said slowly: "What surprises me now is that such a psyker is not under the control of your Thirteen Institutes. Were the Thirteen Institute branches in other fortresses instigated by the United Defense Forces to rebel?"
"Impossible, Ms. Mei."
The middle-aged woman with a slender neck, smooth skin and a proud expression said slowly: "Every branch of the Thirteen Institutes is under the absolute control of the headquarters. There is no doubt about this. Only we can create psychics.
"I'm thinking that this guy may be an experimental product of the United Defense Forces, and they have been trying to crack our technology.
"The insiders we have installed in the Joint Defense Forces have begun investigating and have found no clues for the time being."
"We've run out of time!"
The fourth leader of the Black Fire Gang cursed: "The purge troops could come down at any time! That damn Minister of Interior Zhou Meiying criticized us again at the ministerial meeting, saying that we were out of control and engaged in organ trafficking outside of military agreements! In this way, he influenced the powerful people in the upper city and obtained weapons that should not appear in the lower city!”
The old landlady asked: "Have we done it?"
Boss No. 4 instantly became silent and hesitantly said: "I did some...a very small part...you know BOSS, this is inevitable after all...many old people in the city are superstitious that replacing organs can make them live a few more years." Year……"
"So, that's the problem.
The old landlady said calmly:
"I knew about this from the beginning, and I have recorded all the information about your secret transactions with the old people in the city. Do you need me to remind you?" Operating rooms three, six and eight.
"You shouldn't reach directly to the upper city. We can't get involved there. Now that they have caught us, we don't even have a chance to argue."
Most of the expressions of the leaders were a bit unnatural.
The old landlady said: "Give me your accounts as soon as possible. I need to compare and verify it to see if there is any way to solve this trouble... If you can't solve it, prepare to molt according to the plan."
The second boss immediately said: "Okay BOSS, I will upload it right away."
Wen Heisen said in a hoarse voice, like metal plates scratching each other: "That guy won't let us go. His strength is better than mine. We need C-level psykers."
"Sorry, Senior Wen, I didn't intend to touch your scar."
The middle-aged woman said calmly: "But maybe you haven't used your power for too long. Through the analysis of the existing monitoring data, we found that this guy's strength is lower than ours, at least, far inferior to mine."
She waved her hand gently, and black balls danced around her. Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had read in books that this was... a telepathic psyker.
A faint arc of electricity appeared on those spheres.
The middle-aged woman raised her proud head. Her elegant long skirt and her outstanding appearance showed a strong aura against the backdrop of those suspended black balls.
Wang Jixuan curled his lips slightly.
The old landlady suddenly spoke up: "That's just the surface of the problem. The core of the problem is that we are now being seized by the opposing factions of the 13th Institute. Even without this ghost-like young man, they will knock us out! Do your best! To prepare for shedding, you can give up everything if necessary. We did it once twenty-six years ago, and our team can do it again a second time.”
The second leader of the Black Fire Gang asked: "There is no problem with the emergency exit, right?"
"I will be guarding this end of the passage. When you want to come over, I will send you a signal to cancel the access control."
The old landlady warned:
"When you use the passage later, please keep your noise down so as not to disturb my children's sleep."
"Then BOSS, when will we shed our skin?"
"I just want you to be prepared. Don't be anxious. I'll try to see if I can communicate with our ministers first."
The old landlady sighed softly: "During this period, you can choose a few young people to train. Remember, this inheritance is the most important. We are all old.
"As for these two respected psykers, please try your best to get rid of the mysterious psyker."
"We will," the middle-aged woman said softly, "Ms. Mei."
The old landlady pressed the button next to the screen, and the screen disappeared.
Afterwards, she slumped in the chair, as if she was exhausted, thinking about something quietly.
About a moment later.
Just as Wang Jixuan was thinking about saving power and was about to turn off the monitor in his hand, Mrs. Kong in the picture made another move.
She lowered her head and groped in the drawer below for a while, took out a disc the size of a vinegar saucer, put on her reading glasses, activated the projection screen on the disc, entered a long lock screen password, and called up a simple Operation interface.
She clicked several times in succession, and a dialing screen appeared on the screen.
About half a minute later, the chat box was connected, and an energetic old man in his forties or fifties, wearing a crisp suit, appeared on the other side of the dialog box.
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had seen photos of this man when he was young in Mrs. Kong's study.
The man asked: "How are you doing lately? Mom."
"Same as usual, no big problem, what are the strengths of the two psykers you sent?"
"They are a pair of teachers and students. The teacher is very good, her name is Anxi. She can even compete with some C-level psykers with obvious flaws. If you want to mobilize C-level psykers, the procedure will be particularly troublesome, and there will be... This led to a strong counterattack from the defense forces.”
'Sending psykers? ’
Could this old man be the person in charge of the Thirteenth Biological Research Institute in Fortress No. 76, and the biological minister of the fortress?
He is also the son of the old landlady?
The infinite deity.
Taoist Wang was indeed a little shocked.
Thomas and others in the lower city, the powerful people in the upper city...how many powerful people has this old landlady cultivated?
"Hopefully these issues can be resolved."
Mrs. Kong sighed:
“Son, mom is already very old and doesn’t have the energy to help you start a gang anymore.
"If the Black Fire Gang falls, you may have to ask others to help provide materials."
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm trying to think of a way. The Thirteenth Institute has been working on a large amount of living materials. Don't let outsiders know. They will find every opportunity to resist us and force us to disclose the psyker patent... because we have a constant stream of complaints. Other fortress experimental centers deliver high-quality materials. I have already obtained the admission ticket to the headquarters. The next step is to wait for an opportunity..."
call out!
The monitor in Wang Jixuan's hand automatically turned off and entered the air recharge state.
He immediately stuffed the thing back under the pillow, returned to his original lying position, and took off the hidden headphones in his ears.
He thought quietly.
The outline of the Black Fire Gang is already very clear. Guwen Town's confession filled the frame, and Wang Jixuan has personally verified the crimes of the Black Fire Gang.
The Black Fire Gang's business is divided into three parts.
The first is to provide organs and blood to the military in the upper city. This belongs to the dark side of the fortress official and is not afraid of official investigation.
The second is to perform organ replacement for the upper city dignitaries. In this way, the dignitaries can extend their lifespan and seek more benefits for themselves.
The third is to serve the Thirteen Institutes and provide them with materials for biological experiments, that is, living people.
'This is even worse than ordinary demon sects. In many demon sects, such as the Hehuan Sect, their biggest sin is actually picking yin to replenish yang or yang to replenish yin. They don't even drain the cauldron directly. That's what everyone in the spiritual world shouts about. beat. ’
'Tsk, it would be great if I could ascend directly after killing too many demons...'
Wang Jixuan sighed softly in his heart and continued to think.
After his harassment, the Black Fire Gang is now under great pressure and may shed its skin at any time.
The eight people who just participated in the meeting will arrive at this wooden house through the underground passage when they shed their skins.
Facing two D-class psykers at the same time will be relatively troublesome, and it is also possible for the opponent to lose one.
'Before they shed their skin, one needs to be eliminated. ’
Murderous intent loomed in Daoist Wang's eyes.
Boom, boom.
The sound of the cane kissing the wood resounded in the corridor again.
An old eye slowly moved toward the crack in the door that had just been poked open...
