IV. 139 The Shadow Warrior Who Does Not Exist
Looking at the black shadow, Yin Lei's whole body stiffened, and then the cold sweat on his face came out, and the more he looked at Yin Lei, the more shocked he became, he could clearly see this person in his eyes, but when he scanned it with his divine sense, he found that there was nothing in front of him, the two were so close that Yin Lei could even feel the body temperature and heartbeat on each other's body, this person was definitely not a ghost, just when Yin Lei turned his heart and prepared to make a move, he was dumbfounded again, the person who was close to the front of him, his qi machine could not lock the other party, that is to say, he almost didn't even have a chance to make a move, Even if he forcibly attacked, he didn't know how to attack the other party's subordinates, and under the surprise, a layer of sweat instantly broke out on Yin Lei's back.

And the black shadow has not moved, the two of them have been in a stalemate, and after a while, the place where Yin Lei is standing has been wet, and the sweat on his body is flowing down his legs, at this time Yin Lei has not dared to move, although he clearly knows that the other party is closing his eyes and recuperating and does not have any killing intentions against him.
"You're already very good, a few of them haven't been able to hold out for ten breaths in front of me, Xuanyuan, welcome you back."
A neutral, emotionless voice came, from the voice Yin Lei couldn't even tell whether the other party was a man, a woman, an old, or a young, just the moment the other party spoke, Yin Lei immediately felt the pressure on his body light, and hurriedly took a few steps back, this movement He only felt that his head was 'buzzing' and almost fainted, but fortunately, he was very deep in his foreign work, and hurriedly stood firm.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the Shadow Leader, you just sat down and talked because you were overwhelmed."
At this time, Yin Lei already knew that he was too far away from the other party, if this person wanted to kill himself, he would not be able to escape with the ever-changing armor on his body, and Yin Lei even suspected that the other party had the strength to kill him with one blow.
"When did you get here?"
"I heard that you're back, so I'll wait for you here."
Hearing this, Yin Lei's heart beat wildly, he came in for so long and didn't find anyone in the house, if this person came to assassinate him, ten of them would also die.
"Your Excellency came to me for something?"
"Of course, although the ghost team you are in is already a top team in the army, it can't fully exert your strength there, which means that the ship is too small, are you interested in coming to the shadows?"
"Can the shadow allow me to play to my full strength?"
"Not bad.
"What the hell is the shadow?"
"I can't tell you anything until you enter the shadow, everything about the shadow is top secret, but you can rest assured, the shadow has great power and responsibility, and the importance of the shadow is greater than any general in the army, and it can even be compared to the commander in the army."
Hearing this, Yin Lei's eyes couldn't help narrowing, he didn't believe that the shadow was important enough to be compared with the commander in the army, after all, there was only one boss, and the shadow was at least no less than three or five people, if the shadow was so important, then what level was this shadow leader?
As if he saw Yin Lei's doubts, the man said, "Are you doubting my words?" I can tell you a few points, first, although your ghost team can also recruit peripheral personnel privately, but it can't be put on the surface, while the shadow can have a thousand of its own army, and can hang this thousand people under the name of any battalion to be supported by the military, as for the peripheral personnel recruited privately, there is no restriction, of course, this part of the people needs to be supported by themselves, that is to say, as long as you can raise it, you can recruit as many people as you want; The shadow has the privilege of cutting first and then playing, even if he kills the wrong one, he does not need to be responsible, which means that he can transcend the law, of course, this also has a certain limit; All the files under the top secret are not kept secret from the shadow, including Huijiang City, Taiping Town, including the city defense map can be made public, including the underground secret passage, like you can't enter Huijiang City if you come back late today, and this is just a joke for the shadow, every city in the world has a secret passage in and out, and the shadow even has the right to reclaim a secret passage of its own. ”
The more Yin Lei next to him listened, the more frightened he became, everything this person said just now was impossible for ordinary people and even Yin Lei, and the shadow actually owned it all, and Yin Lei could guarantee that this person had other privileges to say.
Suddenly, Yin Lei's heart moved: "Can the secret techniques I learned before also be learned casually?" ”
"This can't be, those secret skills are top secret, that is, General Zhao has to set up combat power if he wants to learn, of course, if you can sit in my position one day, top secret is not a secret to me.
"Can I join the shadows now?"
"Not bad."
Standing there, Yin Lei couldn't help but fall into deep thought, sometimes he felt that his actions were restricted a lot, but joining the shadow was equivalent to coming into contact with the most core secrets in the army, and it would be difficult to avenge Zhu'er in the future and then want to quit.
"What about the shadows of the past?"
"Dead in battle."
Hearing this, Yin Lei couldn't help but feel stunned, such an important shadow was also killed in battle.
seemed to see Yin Lei's question: "You were also present when the upper shadow died in battle, it was your operation to save Mr. Xu, there was a traitor in our army, if you hadn't arrived in time, that operation would have been a complete failure." ”
Hearing this, Yin Lei couldn't help asking, "Are you talking about General Zhang Ji?" ”
"No, in fact, even if you guess correctly, I won't tell you, until you become a shadow, these are all secrets to you, and even if the shadow is dead, the identity cannot be revealed."
Suddenly, Yin Lei's heart moved: "If there are other shadows who want to know my current situation...... ”
"Because you are the backup candidate of the shadow, everything you do is also kept secret from them for the time being, of course, if you refuse today, then everything you have will no longer be a secret to them."
"If one day I want to quit, is that okay?"
"Exit?"
Listening to Yin Lei's words, the man was silent, and it seemed that he had never touched this question before.
"I don't think you're going to quit, I've seen you for so long, and I think I've come to know you, and every shadow has a group of people who are resting together, will you give them up? And a person will never give up easily after trying power.
"Shadow has a lot of power?"
"Is it a right to kill without paying for your life? Is it a right for a thousand private soldiers to serve you? I can't say much now, think about it yourself, I don't have a lot of time, and if you don't agree today, you won't have a chance to join again. ”
Power Yin Lei didn't care, but just now this person said that the people around him who did things for themselves made Yin Lei can't help but think of this Fengze Lake heroes and Jiang Huaiyi, Liu Laobian and his son, Min Zhengxing and others, thinking that he wants to arrange the people of Xing'an Tai next, even if he doesn't join the shadow, if he quits in the future, what will these people do?
Thinking of this, Yin Lei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I agree." ”
"I've guessed your choice, you are welcome to join the shadow, I have something to tell you, the shadow is not omnipotent, the shadow will also die, and you must follow the rules of the shadow, I think you should understand it in your heart, right?"
"What are the rules of shadows?"
"It's very simple, that's ...... The shadow does not exist at all, and even there is no record of the shadow in our army, and everything that the shadow does is not allowed to be recorded at all, so Ziyun has tried his best for more than a hundred years and has not had the slightest clue about the shadow. ”
"The shadow doesn't exist?"
"Yes, we're only recruiting your shadow, not your people."
"You mean ......?"
"You just have to remember that Xuanyuan is not a shadow, but the shadow is Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan doesn't know anything about the shadow, but the shadow can know anything about Xuanyuan, remember, the shadow doesn't exist, at least you, Xuanyuan don't know the existence of the shadow."
"You mean to say...... Shadow is just a codename, and I'm still me. ”
"Looks like you've got it, good, please come with me."
Saying that, Yin Lei's bed sank down silently, and Yin Lei was dumbfounded when he saw that there was a mechanism under his bed, he had checked this bed at least three times, but he didn't find that there was a mechanism underneath.
"Don't be surprised, this house of yours is specially made, it is specially prepared for shadows, if you don't promise today you will change houses tomorrow."
Yin Lei knew that he had already made people calculate, he smiled bitterly and jumped down, when he went down, he understood why he didn't find the mechanism here, the bed was not empty, when the bed sank, he even sank down with a stone about a foot thick under the bed, no wonder he didn't find that the bottom was empty, and at the same time he also understood that this person should have come in from here.
This is a diagonal downward step more than ten zhang deep, when Yin Lei and the man went down and walked more than ten zhang in front of it, there was no road, this turned out to be a dead end, just seven or eight zhang away from the end when the man suddenly stopped and turned to the left, and then the left wall was more than three feet wide A piece fell down silently, and a small door appeared, when the two passed through this small door, there was a soft sound, the door closed, Yin Lei turned around and saw that there was a smooth wall behind it, even if you look closely, you can't see the slightest trace of the door, At this time, he is in the middle of an extremely long tunnel, this tunnel is high and wide, both sides are leading to the distance, there is an oil lamp on the walls on both sides every other zhang, this tunnel is built very neatly, at a glance, the oil lamp forms a straight line leading to the distance, I don't know how long this tunnel is, the most surprising thing for Yin Lei is that there is no stuffiness here.
"Come with me, you must follow me for the first time here, there are many forks here, and it is very troublesome to get lost."
"It's such a big project, it's not a short time to build a tunnel like this, is it?"
"Yes, this tunnel has been built for a total of thirty years, and the tunnel here is also divided into several levels, this tunnel is specially opened for shadows, there are still a few floors above us, and you can look at the map here at will when you get to the place later."
The two of them walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye they walked hundreds of feet, along the way they passed sixteen upward steps and eleven forks, no wonder this man said don't get lost.
"The forks you see up are secret passages to the upper levels, which means we can get anywhere in the tunnels without anyone else knowing we exist."
As he spoke, the man in front of him stopped under an oil lamp, and then he pushed his hand against the wall, and a secret door appeared, and the man flashed in first.
"If this is built for shadows, why build such a secret door?"
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if someone accidentally stumbles in, wouldn't all the secrets be discovered?"
"Have outsiders come in all these years?"
"No, most of the exits leading to the outside here are one-way, and only a few passages can reach here, and these entrances have been built by skilled craftsmen in the past generations, not to mention others, even Master Wu of the engineer battalion may not be able to find them."
As he spoke, the man suddenly stopped and pointed to the top of his head: "There is a secret passage here to reach the arsenal on the ground, you can go to the arsenal through here when you have time, if you want to learn the kung fu, you can learn it, don't take it away." ”
Yin Lei couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and said, "I can learn martial arts in the army?" ”
"Yes, I said, except for top secret, everything else is open to you, there is a secret room here, and the city defense maps of all parts of the Iron and Blood Province I just mentioned are in it, you can go and see if you are interested."
Hearing this, Yin Lei's heart moved: "Is there such a tunnel under Huijiang City?" ”
"Yes, the tunnels there belong to the high-level secrets, but they are also open to you, and there is a map of it in the conference room we are going to, as long as you don't take it out, you can look at it however you want."
"In this case, if any of the shadows betray, their losses will be incalculable."
"Yes, the shadow must not be betrayed."
"We arrived, there are six people in the shadow, I have informed the other five people to wait for you here, this is the first and only chance for you to meet, you will have to mask your face when you come here in the future, the shadow has no identity, even if you know each other's identities and know who the other party is, you still can't show your true face when you meet, and you can't call each other's names."
Saying that, this person stretched out his hand and pushed on the wall, a secret door appeared, this person immediately flashed in, Yin Lei hurriedly followed in, this is a small stone room, in the middle is a stone table that occupies half of the room, there are five people sitting at the table, these five people are all black, there is an ordinary black cloth on the table in front of them, seeing Yin Lei come in, these people all showed a kind smile to him, seeing these people Yin Lei couldn't help but be surprised, he never thought that the so-called five shadows turned out to be them, Surprised, he immediately looked back, and at this time, the person who brought him in also took off his face towel, and saw that this person, Yin Lei's body, was stiffened as if he was petrified.
