Chapter 260: Two Missions
Only then did Xiao Chen realize that Yue Ling had rushed over because he saw this short and fat old man.
"You know him?" Xiao Chen asked in surprise.
Yue Ling nodded: "He's from the Blue Bird Company!" ”
"Blue Bird Corporation?" Xiao Chen was even more surprised: "I asked Lin Yuan just now, this kid said that the old man is the boss of this pharmaceutical factory!" ”
"Boss?" Yue Ling frowned and said, "Do you believe him or me?" ”
"I just don't think there's any need for this kid to lie to me......" Xiao Chen said embarrassedly.
"Do you think he knows about this old man, or do I know?" Moon Spirit continued to ask rhetorically.
"Do you understand......" Xiao Chen could only say, "So...... Did you already know that this old man was the boss? Why hasn't it been mentioned before? ”
"He's not the boss." Yue Ling still frowned and said, "He is the senior technical advisor of the Blue Bird Company, surnamed Jiang. ”
"It's weird, then why does Lin Yuan say that he is the boss? Could it be that Lin Yuan lied to me? Xiao Chen said in surprise.
"Nope." Yue Ling shook his head: "He doesn't dare to lie to you, I think...... It is more likely that he himself was deceived. ”
Xiao Chen thought for a moment, and felt that Yue Ling's words did make sense, after all, this Lin Yuan was a newly recruited little security guard, how could he be able to tell who the previous boss was? Maybe the old man was appointed, and he didn't know it.
"Then why are you in such a hurry to come and tell me this?" Xiao Chen continued to ask.
"You don't understand! This old man is nominally a technical advisor, but in fact he is one of the main researchers in charge of ghost energy research internally! And the status is very high! I'm afraid you'll be found out by him! Yue Ling said.
Xiao Chen immediately glanced at the old man and the other people who came down with the old man, and found that they didn't have any energy detection devices in their hands.
Yue Ling saw Xiao Chen's eyes, immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "No! I mean...... That old man may have a special sense of energy! Don't get too close to him! ”
Xiao Chen nodded, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, how old is this old man, he wouldn't dare to do a super induction of hands and feet in his body to obtain energy, right?
However, Xiao Chen still decided not to approach for the time being, and just quickly hid with Yue Ling and crouched in the shadows outside the monitoring room.
They were in a safe position, not only in the shadows that couldn't even shine in the moonlight, but also with walls on the left and right sides, and bushes in front of them, so as long as those people didn't have night vision, they were absolutely safe.
They crouched for about ten minutes, during which the old man had been talking to Lin Yuan, Xiao Chen originally thought that it was not difficult to hear the content of their conversation with his own hearing, but the old man's voice was quite low, Xiao Chen had nothing except the occasional cough of the old man.
However, Xiao Chen could hear Lin Yuan's voice, because he didn't lower his voice, on the contrary, Xiao Chen felt that Lin Yuan was probably deliberately trying to make himself able to hear him, so his voice became much higher than when he spoke to him before.
Lin Yuan mostly said yes or something like "um" and "yes", but there was one sentence that caught Xiao Chen's attention.
Lin Yuan's original words replied like this: "I didn't see or hear any suspicious people and voices, and I didn't feel dizzy. ”
It seems that the old man was asking Lin Yuan if he had found any abnormalities in the factory area in the past few days, and the two states that Lin Yuan denied were clearly the conditions after being attacked by ghost energy.
Immediately afterwards, the old man motioned for Lin Yuan to leave, and then he took people to detour from another direction to the northernmost part of the factory.
The map that Lin Yuan gave Xiao Chen just now marked very clearly, the north of the factory area is exactly where the energy points found by Lin Yuan are more concentrated, and there must be a problem with this old man there!
And immediately after that, Xiao Chen actually received a random task!
Random Mission: Protect the power source in the northern part of the plant.
Reward: 5000 Ghost Points
System prompt: If this task fails, it will affect the ownership of the ghost home in the factory.
This system prompt made Xiao Chen a little incomprehensible, because the ghost home in the factory was not his own. Does that mean...... If it is not stopped, will this ghost house fall into the hands of others? Or is it ...... If the prevention succeeds, this ghost house can be occupied by itself?
The allure of this last conjecture is still great!
Xiao Chen quickly gave Yue Ling a look at this task, and at the same time asked Yue Ling if he had the ability to stop those people verbally and let them leave.
"Since the old man is from the Blue Bird Company, he should know you too, right?" Xiao Chen said, "Can you find a way to let him leave?" ”
"Nope." Yue Ling immediately shook his head and said: "This old guy is one of my grandfather's henchmen, my grandfather has issued a ban on us now, and this old guy won't care about me, but since the tasks have prompted you to do so, you might as well just fight it." ”
"A strong past?" Xiao Chen frowned: "You're not afraid that I'll be exposed?" Don't forget, I'm going to the Bluebird headquarters building in the afternoon! ”
Xiao Chen paused after saying this, and at the same time, Yue Ling also blinked his eyes, and then the two of them said in unison: "This task is related to the Blue Bird Company!" ”
Yue Ling nodded: "That's right! Definitely! This task should be the system to pave the way for your afternoon action! I think...... Will there be a follow-up? ”
Moon Ling's voice fell, and sure enough, there was a second mission!
Hidden Mission: Eliminate all of Advisor Chiang's bodyguards.
Reward: 10,000 Ghost Points for Thought Control
This hidden mission is a bit interesting, first of all, the task itself, asking Xiao Chen to "eliminate" all the bodyguards and eliminate ...... It's almost the meaning of killing or erasing, and so far this system has never released a task for Xiao Chen to kill a living person, so ...... This "elimination" of bodyguards probably means that those bodyguards are not living people at all, but ...... Phantom?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen immediately disconnected from the spirit servants with the moon spirit, and now the ghost really couldn't see those bodyguards.
However, in this way, Xiao Chen was a little worried about Lin Yuan's situation, because Lin Yuan, as an ordinary living person, should not have seen those bodyguards, and I don't know if he exposed this when he was talking to the old man just now.
If the old man found out that Lin Yuan could see his bodyguard, it might be unfavorable to Lin Yuan.
But it seems that it should be okay at the moment, after all, Lin Yuan has already gone far, and he is now returning to the monitoring room, making it clear that he wants to report the situation to Xiao Chen.
Then there's the hidden skill "Thought Control" that rewards this hidden mission.
The literal meaning of this skill has basically introduced the effects of the skill...... Thought Control ...... Doesn't that mean that Xiao Chen can completely grasp a person's thinking, and then control his actions?
This skill seems to be extremely powerful, but judging from Xiao Chen's experience, the limitations of this skill are definitely not small.
Xiao Chen felt that this skill was even very likely to be the same as the "Perspective Technique", which could only be used during certain tasks, and the conditions and time were still restricted.
At this time, Lin Yuan had almost returned to the monitoring room, Xiao Chen asked Yue Ling to wait outside the wall for a while, and then quickly used the wall piercing technique to drill in.
"What did the old man tell you just now?" Xiao Chen hurriedly asked as soon as he entered.
"He told me to gather all the security guards now, saying he was going to give a lecture." Lin Yuan said.
Xiao Chen was a little puzzled, what does this mean?
Gather to speak? Could it be that they are going to arrange new tasks for Lin Yuan and other security guards?
Things have changed?
"What should I do?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Listen to him." Xiao Chen thought for a moment and then continued to ask, "That's right! Did you just see a few bodyguards around the old man? ”
"See." Lin Yuan immediately nodded: "There are four in total!" They...... Probably a ghost, right? ”
Ah? Xiao Chenxin said that this Lin Yuan is really a teachable son.
"That's right." Xiao Chen said.
"Huh......" Lin Yuan sighed and said, "Fortunately, I pretended not to see them just now, and the old man shouldn't find out that there is something wrong with me." ”
Xiao Chen couldn't help but want to give Lin Yuan a thumbs up now, but he still held back, he asked Lin Yuan to continue to maintain his previous state, and then go and do what the old man told him first, and leave other things alone for the time being.
After completing the instructions, Xiao Chen quickly came out of the wall.
"Why have you been here for so long!" Yue Ling immediately said outside the wall: "They are now gone!" ”
Then I saw Yue Ling take out the flashlight, but Xiao Chen immediately waved his hand and refused.
"You can't go, you keep hiding here." Xiao Chen said.
"I'm not going to go, I'm going to give you this flashlight!" Yue Ling said.
Xiao Chen originally wanted to say that he didn't need it, but it didn't seem to hurt to bring it with him, and what the Moon Spirit gave him was still the kind of high-intensity flashlight they had seized from the ghost house last time, and it was not bad to bring it.
Then Yue Ling continued to crouch down, and Xiao Chen began to march north along the dark spot at the edge of the wall.
Soon approached the north of the factory, and then Xiao Chen really felt seven or eight energy sources transmitted from the front.
The first type of energy source was issued by those four bodyguards, and Xiao Chen's spirit skills were very clear about this level of energy induction, and even Xiao Chen's skill spirit energy identification took effect! It shows that the strength of those four bodyguards is the level of a psionic powerhouse, that is, the strength level of Xiao Chen when he first became a ghost.
The second type is the energy points that Lin Yuan marked before, but the strength of these energy points is much lower.
At this time, Xiao Chen suddenly noticed one thing, that is, his "Psionic Identification" actually took effect only a handful of times, and it didn't even take effect when he dealt with the two elderly ghosts and other ghost creatures he encountered later.
However, later, Xiao Chen had gradually reacted, since the name of the skill is called "Psionic Energy Identification", it means that the energy intensity that can be identified by this skill should only be limited to "Psionic Energy", and it is impossible to identify other energies.
So if that's the case...... Doesn't that mean...... The energy on those four bodyguards is now ...... Is it also psionic?
How is this possible? Psionic energy is unique to the ghost that carries the system, how can it run to other ghosts?
Although Amy and Ding Wu had both mentioned that there were also many ghosts carrying systems within the Blue Bird Company, that kind of system was not the same thing as what Xiao Chen had, and Xiao Chen had not fought with those ghosts, and the energy on their bodies did not belong to spiritual energy.
Xiao Chen wondered if there was something wrong with his "Psionic Identification" skill?
He was still thinking about it, and he saw that the old man in front of him had already begun to wave his hands from side to side, as if he was giving orders to the four bodyguards beside him.
The four bodyguards immediately began to march slowly along the edge of the wall to the north of the factory, apparently looking for something, but they still didn't use the energy detectors.
Xiao Chen can actually do it now, but considering that this old man still has to call those security guards for a meeting and lecture, and Xiao Chen really wants to know what this old man is going to say, it seems that he really can't alarm him now.
In addition, there is no warning that the system is about to fail the task, so Xiao Chen really doesn't need to be too anxious for the time being.
He continued to hide in the shadows and watched.
After waiting for a minute, I saw that the old man had a few orders, this time Xiao Chen heard it very clearly, he was asking the four bodyguards to be more efficient, and then the old man walked straight in the direction that Lin Yuan left before, that is, in the monitoring room.
At the same time, Xiao Chen also saw that Lin Yuan had already summoned most of the security guards.
It seems that it's time to make a move, and if these four bodyguards are eliminated at this time, the old man should not notice it for the time being, and in this way, it will not affect the old man's lecture.
After Xiao Chen waited for the old man to walk near the monitoring room, he immediately used the strong concealment technique to quickly rush towards the four bodyguards.
He had already calculated the time, he only planned to let the strong hidden technique last for more than ten seconds, so that the spiritual energy consumed would be very small, but with the ghost movement, Xiao Chen could get close to them in a short time.
The progress in front was very smooth, Xiao Chen's strong concealment technique did not alarm them, but when Xiao Chen aimed at the back of one of the bodyguards and hit it with an impact bomb, he found that the bodyguard only shook a little, but it did not hurt much, and even the regular "green smoke" did not come out.
Xiao Chen was startled, but he quickly reacted, it seems that the bodies of these ghosts are really spiritual energy! That's why the effect of impact bombs is greatly reduced!
Even Xiao Chen was almost certain that if it was the palm thunder of pure spiritual energy, the effect might be completely useless......
