Brian of the Xinghua Imperial Intelligence Bureau came to report to Yi Xingchen, and according to the list, all the participants of the Professional Contest have arrived in Xinghua New Town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And this also means that Xinghua New Town's "catching turtles in the urn" action is about to start.

Yi Xingchen nodded when he heard this, what he had been preparing for a long time was finally time to put it into practical action.

As planned, the cabinet ministers gathered in the palace hall in Hinghwa City to determine the details of the operation.

Everyone gathered, and Yi Xingchen announced to the ministers that the imperial capital had entered a state of emergency and was on first-level alert. Whether it is Xinghua City or Xinghua New Town, all the military and police in service have canceled their holidays, kept armed and vigilant at all times, and are ready to fight at any time.

Yi Xingchen must strengthen his vigilance in such a strict way, because it is still impossible to determine who is the eighth-level professional among the professionals who came to participate in the competition, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, if this is not the case, I am afraid that Xinghua New Town will be completely in a passive state, if the eighth-level professionals in this dark place suddenly make trouble, then Xinghua people will not even have a chance to deal with it in time.

Moreover, even if Yi Xingchen knew that the eighth-level professionals with bad intentions in the Xinghua Empire had mixed into the participants of the professional competition, Yi Xingchen could not search people out with great fanfare, and could only secretly investigate, in addition to avoiding chaos in the professional competition, more importantly, there are no Xinghua people in Xinghua New City who can compete with the eighth-level professionals, that is to say, if they make a high-profile open investigation, if they stimulate the eighth-level professionals hidden in the shadows, it will make a big trouble.

Of course, although it can't be investigated, it doesn't mean that Yi Xingchen has nothing to do.

Therefore, the entire Xinghua government began to divide labor and cooperate to solve problems.

Yi Xingchen did not participate in the discussion of their specific action steps, but only told them to be as unknown as possible in the process of action.

The ministers naturally understood that they were also deeply afraid that their careless actions would annoy the eighth-level professional, so that when he was angry, he might go on a killing spree in the city.

In this way, the capital of the Xinghua Empire will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Subsequently, the military and police of the Xinghua Empire also began to assign tasks according to different functions.

Two days later, the professional competition was officially held as scheduled.

The professional competition was arranged to be held in the newly built indoor gymnasium of Xinghua New Town.

This indoor gymnasium was specially arranged by Yi Xingchen for the Xinghua Capital City in view of the harsh climate of the Forgotten Valley, and only by having an indoor gymnasium can it meet the needs of some regular competitions, and not be affected by the repeated and changeable climate outside, which makes the event unable to be carried out.

Because of this suitable venue, the professional competition was chosen to be held in this indoor stadium.

Moreover, this Xinghua Indoor Stadium is also large enough to accommodate at least 2,000 spectators. Most of the spectator seats in the stadium are designed in a loop-around staircase to ensure that even if you sit in the back row, you can clearly see the progress of the game, and of course, if you want to know better, you can also look at the monitors installed throughout the stadium.

Not only that, a large LCD monitor is also hung on the outer wall of Xinghua Stadium to synchronize the progress of the event, so that other spectators who have not bought tickets and cannot enter the stadium to experience the heat of the event in person, but are eager to see the event stand outside to watch and chat to quench their thirst.

In addition to the facilities in the gymnasium, in order to facilitate the people, Yi Xingchen also used radio, so that many viewers could hear the live broadcast of the game process and results from the radio without going to the gymnasium in person.

However, Xiahou Wu and others don't know the details of Xinghua Gymnasium, they just feel that this professional competition has really attracted a lot of people, whether it is inside the gymnasium or outside the gymnasium, there are crowds of people everywhere, and the popularity of the event is really visible.

Under the instructions of the staff, Huang Zizhen and Lin Heng, who were contestants, had already gone to the backstage to prepare for the competition, so that they could compete on stage according to the flow chart of the event, while Xiahou Wu, who did not have an event, and another follower sat in the audience and waited for the game to start.

Soon after the start of the game, Xiahou Wu was in the audience, after watching the process of two third-level martial artists competing on the stage, but because these low-level professionals were not very interesting in the process of competing with each other, he began to feel a little bored, and lost interest.

After thinking about it, Xiahou Wu turned around and left the audience.

It's just that Xiahou Wu would never have imagined that he had just left the audience, and someone would immediately follow him.

In the gymnasium, the agents of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, who had been ordered to keep an eye on whether anyone in the stadium was behaving strangely, immediately sent two people to follow him as soon as they saw Xiahou Wu leave.

This was one of the methods adopted by the Xinghua Imperial Cabinet to conduct secret investigations. Before the start of the event, agents were arranged to keep an eye on each participant and their entourage, keeping an eye on their movements.

And getting up and leaving like Xiahou Wu was a somewhat unusual move in the eyes of the Imperial Intelligence Agency agents.

Because, now that the event has begun, the spectators, especially the entourage of the participants, will keep an eye on the event under normal circumstances, pay close attention to the progress of the event, until the result is decided, which is the normal inertia of thinking.

But Xiahou Wu didn't pay as much attention to the ongoing event as others, but got up and left when the event was in full swing, which can only show that either this person wants to go for convenience, or he is not interested in this event and does not want to watch it.

Regardless of his situation, Xiahou Wu's rise was also particularly conspicuous in the audience, so it immediately attracted the attention of the agents of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

In contrast, because there were too many people in the gymnasium, there was a lot of noise everywhere, and Xiahou Wu, who was being targeted, didn't notice that he had been followed.

Soon, the agent's speculation was confirmed, because, after Xiahou Wu left the audience, he did not go to the bathroom in the venue, but left the Xinghua Stadium directly! Seeing this, the agent followed closely quietly.

Because he didn't know that he had been followed, after Xiahou Wu walked out of the Xinghua Gymnasium, he took out a map defenselessly in a corner where he thought there was no one around.

This map is the latest version of the map sold by the newsstand of Xinghua New Town. When Xiahou Wu obtains the map, it is like a treasure. These days, he has basically used this map to think about the topography and environment of Xinghua New Town, and has been reviewing the description on the map.

After his verification one by one, it has been confirmed that the map is authentic and valid. Therefore, Xiahou Wu felt that instead of staying and continuing to watch the boring event, it was better to take the map and continue to study this Xinghua New Town.

Looking at the map of the entire Xinghua New Town, Xiahou Wu is the most interested in the palace hall of Xinghua New Town. Therefore, if he has the opportunity, under the condition of ensuring his own safety, he would most like to visit the palace hall in Xinghua New Town.

Moreover, it is also because from the map, Xiahou Wu found that the gymnasium was not far from the palace hall of Xinghua New Town, and it was about two kilometers away. According to Xiahou Wu's pace under normal circumstances, it only takes about twenty minutes to walk from the gymnasium to the palace hall.

Since he was so close to the Xinghua Palace, Xiahou Wu thought that it would be better to take advantage of this daytime to step on the periphery of the palace, and it could be regarded as a nearby observation to see where it was suitable to sneak in.

Xiahou Wu took the map and walked in the direction of the palace, and the movement fell into the eyes of the agents of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, which immediately attracted the attention of the agents, and from this move, the agents were even more sure that this Xiahou Wu must not be an ordinary person.

As a result, agents immediately reported the discovery to their superiors.

The Imperial Intelligence Bureau immediately raised Xiahou Wu's attention level and sent more people to monitor Xiahou Wu. In order to spy on high-ranking professionals, the Imperial Intelligence Service has also summarized a set of more effective methods. There are two main points: the tracker must be changed every time a period of time or distance, and the tracker cannot be directly followed with your eyes. Know that professionals are very sensitive and can sense the prying eyes of others. The Imperial Intelligence Agency's approach was to use professional cameras, mounted in a backpack or fastened to clothing, to monitor targets. In this way, it is difficult for the person being watched to feel the surveillance of others.

Xinghua City underground building complex.

Yi Xingchen and a group of cabinet ministers were gathered in a room to watch the video transmitted back to them by the intelligence bureau.

"Could he be that senior professional, that suspected level 8 professional? Yi Xingchen asked.

"Your Majesty, we can't be sure yet. However, his movements are very abnormal and he is certainly not a friendly figure. Brian replied.

Yi Xingchen saw the map in Xiahou Wu's hand and asked, "What is the accuracy of the map in his hand?"

"Ninety-nine percent. However, the Ministry of Culture facilitates the visit of the capital by people from all over the world, and only sells maps of Xinghua New Town, and does not openly sell maps of Xinghua City. Therefore, it is very likely that his target is the royal palace in the new city. Brian replied.

"Your Majesty, I beg you, go to war!" Alan couldn't help but say.

"Allen, you are the most precious seventh-level professional in the empire, we can't afford to lose, I don't want you to make a move. At the very least, the enemy has to be seriously injured before you can make a move. Yi Xingchen persuaded.

"Yes, Your Majesty. When Alan heard this, he had to back off. Under the trade-off, Alan naturally knew that what Yi Xingchen said was true, and the longer he lived, the more stable the empire would be. At the very least, until the new generation of professionals in the empire grows up, Eren should stay in the empire and ensure the stability of the empire.

"What are you prepared for? Are you sure you will destroy him? Yi Xingchen asked.

Brian replied, "I wasn't prepared enough, I couldn't grasp it." ”

Yi Xingchen was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but he also felt Brian's helplessness. There is a disadvantage of fighting on the mainland, that is, it is easy to hurt others and oneself. In the face of high-level professionals, casualties are even more uncontrollable. Moreover, Yi Xingchen just thought of a little. The Pro Championship is still underway, and there are still many spectators at Xinghua Stadium. If the other party comes to kill on a large scale, it will not be dozens or hundreds of people, but thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.

"Our main fighters are not nearby, and it will take time to set up. Brian explained.

Yi Xingchen sighed and said, "Since you can't act, then withdraw all the tracking personnel so as not to be discovered." Also, install bugging devices in his room. After a pause, Yi Xingchen continued: "In broad daylight, it is estimated that he does not dare to enter the palace. However, at night, we should set a trap in the palace and find a way to take them down. ”

As soon as he left, I immediately sent someone to set a trap. Brian replied.

"Try to use heavy weapons, even if you can't kill the opponent, you have to leave the opponent severely traumatized. Yi Xingchen added.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Brian replied respectfully.

Yi Xingchen saw that Brian wanted to leave the room, and said to Brian: "Now the passage between the ground and the underground is temporarily closed, and leave through the space passage." He opened the light door of the spatial passage and let Brian leave.

Brian bowed respectfully and walked through the Gate of Light.

On the other side of the light gate is the key to the No. 1 space passage, which is hidden in an ordinary-looking warehouse in Xinghua City. Brian will go through the space passage to the outside world and deploy it.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has to retire. Eli also came over and said to Yi Xingchen.

"Why?" said Yi Xingchen curiously.

"The Pros Contest is the most important competition in the Empire, and as Prime Minister, I should attend the tournament to encourage the contestants and win over the professionals for the Empire. Eli said.

Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. That's not a reason why you should take the plunge, though. You are the Prime Minister of the Empire, and the Empire still needs you, and you should not take any risks. ”

"Your Majesty......," Eli wanted to plead.

"You don't have to show up at the conference first, the conference matters, you put on hold for the activities. Let's first determine if he is the Xia Kingdom professional. If he is really a professional in Xia Guo, let's plan it in detail. Yi Xingchen said.

Eli heard this, but said nothing. Eli is a courtier, Yi Xingchen is a king, and he has no reason to oppose the king's order. If you oppose it, it will be the undeserved of the courtiers.

Brian returned to the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters and immediately arranged for agents to take the miniature eavesdropping equipment produced by Blue Mercury and go to Xiahou Wu's room to install the bugging device.

Because Xiahou Wu and the four of them came together, the agents installed bugs in all parts of their two rooms. For the sake of security, Xinghua agents arranged the location of the eavesdropping signal on different floors, a room far away from Xiahou Wu and them.
