After the invasion of the first level of the Thirty-Nine Fortresses, people defined that day as "the day the demon boy was born".

After the birth of the Demon Boy, mankind held many meetings to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Boy.

Plus the Battle of the Plains of Yopella, which has already begun. The lords and important personnel of the various fortresses have come to the thirty-ninth floor.

The Song family, represented by Song Que, was the commander-in-chief of the war, and the Li family, represented by Li Wanye, was responsible for all kinds of wartime supervision.

It was a month after the birth of the Demon Boy. Fifteenth day of the battle on the plains of Yopella.

The war was far more tragic than one expected.

It was thought that the human army would be able to reach the plains of Yopera at least with low attrition.

But the real results are very dismal.

The army of gifted people encountered many beasts along the way, and lost nearly 20% of their combat power in the process of reaching the Yopera Plains from the west of the Red Clay Canyon.

A large number of hunters and regulars were killed, even if they didn't encounter a single Scourge creature along the way.

But the human body, except for a very few top masters like Song Quelin and Li Zheng, most hunters and regular armies were simply unable to resist the attack of perfect-level creatures and elite-level creatures.

What awaited them in the Plains of Yopera was a huge number of beasts that had been assembled early.

Among them are some natural disasters. and even a handful of catastrophic BSS creatures.

As early as before the war, there were academics who were not optimistic about the war, and perhaps the intelligence of the creatures in the mining area was much higher than human imagination.

Perhaps somewhere in the mining area, there is also something like a headquarters, an operational center.

Otherwise, why would the herds gather on the plains of Yopella?

This time, for humans, the area to be conquered is simply a red zone.

And the human army was also forced to retreat by the beasts.

So far, instead of achieving any results, the war has suffered heavy losses.

The 39th Fortress, the 7th floor, the Temporary Full Fortress Operations Center.

At the huge circular conference table of more than 200 people, the top brass of the various forts were discussing the war and other matters.

"Is there any progress in finding the Demon Boy?" It was Li Wanye who asked this.

After Li Xiaoyu left home, Li Wanye concluded that Li Xiaoyu was looking for Tang Xian.

Despite the tense war of mankind, the Li family has never relaxed their search for Li Xiaoyu.

"We've sent simulations and come to the conclusion that if a teleportation rift is attacked during the teleportation process, it will either interrupt the teleportation or will teleport an indefinite rift." The answer to Li Wanye was the high-ranking of the Fifty-two Fortresses.

The Fifty-Two Fortresses are in a relatively leading position in some auxiliary science and technology.

"That is, the whereabouts of that demon boy can't be found in the world now?"

"I'm afraid so."

Li Wanye clenched his fists and stopped talking.

The man from the castle tower said:

"Lord Li, I think the matter of finding the demon boy can be delayed for a while, in the last battle retreat, we found that in the hands of the Li family's personal guard, there is a super combat unit comparable to a perfection-level creature, called the Knight of Judgment."

"I think at this time, everyone should abandon the barriers between the fortresses and exchange the technology in their hands? We, the Great Castle Tower, are willing to provide excellent Warframe technology in exchange for the Judgment Knight's manufacturing technology. ”

The person who spoke was Mamoru Hane. He is the lord of the castle tower.

When Zhang An of the Fifty-One Fortress heard this, he smiled and said:

"Everyone is anxious about the war, but Mr. Hane is still thinking about the Li family's technology at the first level at this time, and it is inevitable that he will lose some of the other, not to mention, your battle armor technology is exchanged for the manufacturing technology of the trial knight, this transaction is too black."

As a weapon tycoon fortress fifty-one fortress, Zhang An was not used to seeing the style of the castle tower fortress.

As early as after the hunting event ended, Gong Kun and the others brought back the props of the strongest hunter group in the castle tower.

Zhang An believed that as long as Ke Ye and the others worked hard, they would be able to master the core technology of the castle tower fortress in the near future.

However, everyone present was worried about the recipe for the Knight of Judgment.

Fort Lincoln, in particular, whose lord John F. Kennedy said:

"Honorable Lord Li, I don't think we can conquer the Yopera Plain with our current combat strength, and of course, we haven't thought about stealing the fruits of your labor, but can we do this-

As humanity retreats, why don't you sell some of the finished Knights of Judgment? I think every fortress will need such a strong and obedient combat unit. ”

Song Gengchao shook his head slightly. Qi Qinglian, the head of the Qi family in the second fortress, was the same.

There is not a single fortress that does not aspire to the technology of the first tier.

Because he is currently relying on the Knights of Judgment, he has the least attrition on the battlefield and the highest record record.

These Trial Knights are like artificial perfection-level creatures, even stronger than those creatures with a synchronization rate of about 10% given by the Evolution Zone!

But the top three have different ideas.

The three of them are in the same spirit, and they all believe that this advantage cannot be given to other fortresses at will.

It's just that more and more fortress lords are beginning to speak.

The fortresses of the Federation also want to have a team of Knights of Judgment who can fight well, even if it is bought at a high price.

The attention of these people is very simple, that is, waiting to dismantle the knight of judgment. I want to study the secrets inside.

Li Wanye cleared his throat, not thinking about the matter of the demon boy and Li Xiaoyu for the time being, he said:

"In this war, Song Que, as the commander-in-chief, has relied on strong predictions many times to save our army from the fate of destruction, and he is the best commander."

"It's just that in this battle, we may be facing mining creatures with no less intelligent than our humans. They are in charge of the overall situation, and even with the help of some birds and reptiles, they are able to know our deployment. ”

"From the plains of Yopera, they can see that the other side is not just a group of beasts that only know how to go on a rampage. This is also an unprecedented situation we are facing. At this time, with the existing strength of the human talents, it is difficult for us to break through the Jupella Plains, which is comparable to the Red Zone. ”

Li Wanye was stunned, and Song Gengchao and Qi Qinglian both felt that the wind had changed, which was quite wrong.

Could it be that Lao Li really wants to provide a knight of judgment?

"I'll tell you the truth, I have about 1,200 Knights of Judgment in my hands right now."

As soon as Li Wanye's voice fell, the audience was shocked.

It was Li Zhengdu who set off turbulent waves in his heart.

The Knights of Judgment of the Thousand Two? When did Daddy come up with it?

Taken together, this combat power is probably enough to deter the entire Federation, right?

How many days has it been? The formula that was only obtained on the day of the Demon Boy invasion, but in just one month, it created such a large number of Judgment Knights?

These Judgment Knights have the abilities of perfection-level creatures, and the most terrifying thing is that their attack rays can greatly weaken the target once it hits it.

The health regeneration speed is directly removed, and the defense is also reduced a lot.

A Knight of Judgment may only be able to deal with a single Perfection-level creature.

But a hundred Knights of Judgment may be able to exert the strength of a hundred perfect-level creatures.

Li Zheng suddenly thought of the recent disappearance of a large number of people at the bottom.

Thinking about it like this, my expression became more and more complicated.

"I'll set a price that's reasonable enough for everyone to offer the Knights of Judgment. Although the army of gifted people is retreating, I am confident that with the Knights of Judgment we will be able to turn the tide of battle, so are you satisfied? ”

No one objected, and Kennedy was the first to applaud and praise Li Wanye for his generosity.

After that, even Mamoru Hane, who was in the castle tower, began to applaud.

Outside the huge circular table, everyone who participated in the meeting felt more excited than ever.

One thousand two hundred Knights of Judgment would be enough to turn the tide of battle.

Second, these people are confident that they can obtain this level of technology by dissecting the knights.

Song Gengchao and Qi Qinglian also cared about judging knights, but they always felt that Li Wanye was too different from Li Wanye to do this. 3333xs

Li Wanye didn't explain, smiling, seemed to be happy for everyone's happiness, only he knew that the manufacture of the trial knight could not be studied thoroughly before the formula was leaked.

He waved his hand to signal silence.

The scene quickly fell silent, and Li Wanye continued:

"One more thing, these days, we've had some of our operatives killed, and several of our Knights of Judgment have been devastated.

I think everyone should know that a long time ago, there was an extremely powerful guy who called himself the Mask Kitchen Knife Man.

I thought this man was a demon boy, but now it seems that this person is someone else. ”

Li Wanye paused and continued:

"Although some of the dead cadres have extremely serious vices and stains, it is the law that governs them.

And this masked kitchen knife man has overstepped the law and punished these people privately.

He was only active in the mines, and at the moment he was already in a state of panic, with many people saying that they would hear terrible laughter and screams at night.

But when they rushed over, only the corpses of the operators remained.

Not only the Operators, but also the Knights of Judgment were destroyed for no reason.

Due to my design, the Knight of Judgment will not attack humans. So before I trade the Trial Knights, I want you to start an investigation together into who this Masked Chopper Man really is. ”

After Li Wanye's voice fell, there was another uproar.

Because the person he mentioned is not unfamiliar to everyone.

This person specializes in killing those high-level leaders who are extremely degrading and depraved in the middle of the night.

But don't take him for a messenger of righteousness.

Nightmarish laughter, brutal methods, and the iconic eerie smiley mask.

All make people feel that this is the embodiment of the devil.

He had only been present for about ten days, but the fear he caused was not small.

Every high-level executive who has had a stain is very worried, and they are also busy erasing the stain these days, and their behavior is becoming more and more restrained.

The fact that Li Wanye was able to name this person alone in such a meeting is enough to prove the danger of this person.

People began to provide constant information on where Mask Blade Man had been met and speculation and analysis of who it might be.

Only Song Que stood up at this time and said:

"I don't think this man is a Mask Chopper."

As soon as Song Que spoke, the rest of the people quieted down.

"Why does Commander-in-Chief Song think so?"

宋排 says:

"The people in the Evolution Zone have seen Mask Chopper Man, but Mask Chopper Man's style of acting is already very gentle compared to the demon you are talking about."

"The most important thing is that the Mask Chopper Man basically kills the opponent directly, and rarely leaves the opponent with painful torture."

"But this new masked man is different, he is extremely cruel, and the agents of our First Fortress have also been killed by him. In order not to affect your appetite later, I won't go into details, in short, whether it is outside or inside, there is no one intact. ”

"We don't know the current motives of the Mask Chopper Man, but the new Mask Man's style of crime has an extremely obvious purpose - sanctions.

According to the statements in criminal psychology, this person probably has some kind of distorted sense of justice, and is punishing evil with means that are more evil than evil.

So based on the above points, I think this person is unlikely to be the Mask Chopper Man. ”

Song Que's expression was always very calm, as if he was really analyzing rationally.

Li Wanye and the others also nodded and said:

"It is worthy of Commander Song, and the analysis is very correct. It was my negligence. When you say that, there are indeed a lot of differences between the two masked people. But this man is now a serious threat to us. Whether he punishes the wicked or not, he does not have this power. ”

Song nodded in agreement. He said:

"But we don't have any clues about him right now. It is only known that he operates at night, with cruel methods, and wears a mask painted with an evil smiling face.

At present, the targets of the crimes are some important members of the fortress with obvious stains.

And it's extremely powerful. I hate to say that, but I think you should be more mindful of your behavior.

This kind of free law enforcer is very paranoid, he may be like Yu Xiaozhe, Lin Sen and other criminals, he has an extremely strong ability to obtain information, and the best way to find him is not to be evil. Otherwise, unless he falls, you will have to live a life of fear. ”

The people in the conference room, after hearing Song Que's suggestion, the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful.

Song Que glanced at it very quickly, still expressionless.

"Then why did he attack the Knight of Judgment?" It was Li Zheng who asked the question.

Song Que shook his head and said:

"What a madman thinks, who knows? Perhaps he was more curious about the construction of the Knights of Judgment? ”

While speaking, Song Que glanced at Li Wanye.

Li Wanye's expression was as usual, and he couldn't see any change.

And after the people talked for a while,

"That's the end of today's meeting. I'll calculate the cost of making a Judge Knight in the shortest possible time, and then I'll sell the Knight of Judgment directly at cost price. ”

"The world of the future must belong to us mankind, and the victory of the Battle of Yopera will go down in history!"

After some morale-boosting words, people left one after another, and Song Que and Li Zheng discussed the battle route for a while.

After everyone was almost gone, when Song Que and Li Zheng were about to leave, Li Zheng whispered:

"Has my sister ever contacted you?"

"Nope."

"Xiao Que, although you are no longer my brother-in-law, our friendship should still be there, right?"

"Yes, Brother Zheng, don't worry, if there is Xiao Yu's whereabouts, I will definitely tell you."

"Okay, by the way, you have to be careful, although the mask demon you mentioned only shoots at people with stains and bad conduct, but who can say what a madman thinks. If you don't keep it, I will shoot at you, but you are the commander-in-chief of the whole Federation, the best eyes in the whole world, and you can't have an accident. ”

Song Que looked at Li Zheng and said solemnly:

"Brother Zheng, don't worry, I'm not afraid of shadows. Other than that...... You and Uncle Li should be careful. I suspect that this masked man, who knows some of the secrets of the Knight of Judgment, may have his eye on you lately. ”

"The Knight's Secret?" Li Zheng looked at Song Que suspiciously.

Song Que also stared at Li Zheng.

"It's okay, be careful."

"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow."

Castle Tower. Third floor.

Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen have made a lot of money these days because of the new policy of the castle tower.

In a bustling street that mimics Ginza, Tokyo, stay at the hotel on the top floor and look out at the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The life of the two of them has become more and more nourishing.

"It's almost time to stop, your tracking and anti-tracking technology has also made you a lot of money, my fake documents, fake currency, fake points, and I have a lot of money, let's finish this vote, you can wash your hands and retire."

Yu Xiaozhe looked at the floor-to-ceiling window and said.

Lin Sen was fiddling with the new parts of the phone, which looked very thin and similar to ancient integrated circuit boards, but more delicate, and he wore twelve-fold micro-carved glasses, carefully examining the wiring.

At the same time, reply to Yu Xiaozhe:

"Don't think I'm as noble as you, I'm a layman, a technical nerd, I just rely on some craftsmanship to eat, and the money is not enough for me. In this pyramid, everything is fake, only money is real. ”

Yu Xiaozhe smiled and did not speak.

"Let me tell you, the princess of the Li family is missing." Lin Sen squinted his eyes and stared at the circuit board carefully.

"Li Xiaoyu? She's missing? I haven't heard from her lately, how do you know? ”

"You think I have what you can do? Can you check out with someone else's identity anytime, anywhere? I can come to the castle tower fortress capital with you, relying on the last order.

Now that the Portable Teleportation Rift is disabled, Miss Li Er is thinking about getting a private one, and it won't be located. ”

"Yes."

"How long?"

"Twenty days ago, I might have gone to another fortress now."

Yu Xiaozhe remembered that almost more than twenty days ago, the thirty-ninth fortress suddenly lowered the audit intensity of the fortress's pass.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"This is a big deal, but the Li family is pressing."

"Who's to say it isn't? Actually, I still added a location to Miss Li Er's teleportation crack, but this positioning is only visible to me personally. Lin Sen was triumphant.

Yu Xiaozhe frowned and said:

"What do you mean? Planning to just finish doing business with someone and then sell someone again? ”

"Isn't that right? I waited a little longer, but not too long, too long to keep Qi Li Wanye to find it by himself, his trial knight is powerful, and now he is a sweet and sweet in the eyes of people all over the world. ”

Lin Sen continued:

"Anyway, Li Wanye must be in a hurry now, if I sell Li Xiaoyu's news to him at this time, it will be a lot of income."

Yu Xiaozhe nodded and said:

"You can do business, but Li Xiaoyu is a crazy woman, I was in school back then, fortunately I didn't get close to Tang Xian's kid, otherwise I might not even have a son in the future. I don't know her well, but I would advise you not to do it. ”

Lin Sen held up the chip-sized circuit board and said:

"How?"

"She is very smart, and her brain is second only to Tang Xian. You take advantage of her, if she comes back to her senses and thinks it through, you won't feel good. ”

"Sending my daughter back to her father, am I not harming her? I'll make some money and do good deeds by the way. ”

Yu Xiaozhe didn't say much, something really happened, it was a big deal to fake and help Lin Sen escape.

Looking out the window, Yu Xiaozhe planned the days after his retirement.

I felt more and more that Tang Xian had a sentence that was very right.

Isn't living in the pyramid a monkey?

He hadn't experienced it before, but he had recently traveled to many fortresses and found that no matter where he was, deep down, there was a feeling of being watched.

It's like a monkey living in a zoo.

I thought that the rockery was a real mountain, and I hid in it leisurely, but the red butt was seen by tourists.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about this stubble, and decided not to add to his own blockage.

At this time, Yu Xiaozhe's mobile phone suddenly rang.

He turned on his mobile phone and became vigilant when he saw that the number was from a public phone booth on the ground floor.

The phone kept ringing.

When there were three rings, Lin Sen glanced back at Yu Xiaozhe.

"What's wrong, why don't you pick it up?"

"Looking at the area code, it should be the number of the twenty-nine forts, but I don't have any clients or acquaintances in that fort."

"That's it, I just tinkered with a new anti-positioning communication chip." Lin Sen proudly raised the gadget in his hand.

Yu Xiaozhe nodded and said:

"Okay."

He pressed answer.

There was no sound on the other end of the line.

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Xiaozhe said:

"Speak."

"It's me."

The phone slipped abruptly out of his hand.

It was the first time Lin Sen had seen Yu Xiaozhe stunned by this virtue.

"Who? Look, I'm going to surprise you. ”

Yu Xiaozhe shook his head slightly, came back to his senses, and quickly picked up the phone:

"Where are you?"

"Twenty-nine forts, ground floor."

"How long can you last?"

"I don't know. Let me confirm one thing first, do you believe me or ......"

Yu Xiaozhe interrupted the voice on the phone and said:

"Sensei said that nonsense, the bottom of the Twenty-Nine Fortress, I'm going to get a visa now. Bring the guys here. You'd better be able to stay in hiding until then."

"Okay. It's hard work. The phone bill is quite expensive, so I'll hang up first. ”

The phone hangs up.

Lin Sen was confused and said:

"Which big customer makes you nervous like this?"

Yu Xiaozhe took a deep breath, looked at Lin Sen and said:

"Tang Xian."
