Chapter 9: Xuanji's Speculation

"Xuanji is very cunning, she disappeared with the white sails, I think, it will take a little time for us to find them." A man in a black cloak said.

Somewhere in the city's underground pipes, several men in black cloaks bowed respectfully to the man in black in front of them.

The man in black was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but the leg tube of his left leg was empty, and he was on a cane, and he had a half-burned cigar in his mouth.

"I've been giving you time, and now, a month has passed, and you bunch of rubbish haven't found them yet." The man in black said gloomily.

He looks quiet, but his heart has already been thunderous, and a month is his final bottom line.

Then, I saw the man in black raise his hand and make a finger sound, and suddenly, a figure jumped out of nowhere and jumped to the side of the man in black.

The figure landed, and everyone saw her clearly, it was a young girl, who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, the girl was wearing black shorts, a black T-shirt, short hair, and many freckles on her cheeks.

The girl had a lollipop in her mouth, and she landed and looked around, then pulled a dagger from her lap.

I saw the man in black waving his hand at the girl casually, and then walked forward without looking back.

Receiving the command, the girl slammed the lollipop and began to quickly rush towards the black-cloaked men in front of her.

A few rays of light and cold light swept through the crowd, and a muffled sound came, and before the men in black cloaks could react, they were wiped by the girl with a dagger and fell in a pool of blood.

The girl's movements were neat and vigorous, and the knife was deadly, and all these people who fell to the ground lost their life characteristics.

The man in black limped forward with one hand on crutches, raised his other hand and looked at the time on his watch.

The girl followed, walking beside the man in black, only gently placing the blood-stained dagger back into the scabbard on her lap.

"I don't trust the military anymore, Ake, you go to Asia, find Xuanji and Bai Fan, kill them, and besides, I allow you to use that thing." The man in black said gloomily, his eyes fixed on the other side of the underground pipe.

Hearing this, the girl nodded, and then prepared to leave first, but the man in black suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

"Ake, I hope you can complete your mission and come back alive." The man in black's tone was much soothed, and he said to the girl beside him.

Then, with great difficulty, the man in black turned around, stroked the girl's hair a few times, and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and Ke was the only person he fully trusted.

Hearing this, Ah Ke nodded slightly, then got up and left first, disappearing from the sight of the man in black.

It rained for a whole day, and when the rain stopped, it was already night, and the two of them climbed out of their tents.

The air was washed by the rain with a touch of chill, and even the air after the rain smelled a little fresh, so the refreshing air made Bai Fan take a few big breaths in a row.

"Actually, I've been thinking about why someone would want to kill me, and I always think you should tell me what you know, maybe it will be of great help to my safety." Bai Fan took a few deep breaths and said casually.

Xuanji didn't speak when she heard this, but just looked at a tree in the distance and sighed.

"Well, I'll tell you what I know, after all, even the military can't be trusted anymore." Xuanji replied lightly.

Next, Xuanji told Bai Fan everything she knew.

She belongs to the military special operations forces, and she is also the strongest combat clone in the special operations forces, but she received this task inexplicably, and she has no way to verify more details about the time, she can only go back to investigate the matter after completing this mission.

At the beginning of the mission, she was conveyed to be on loan to the Bai family, and the task was to protect Bai Fan's life at all costs, originally she thought it would not be a difficult task, after all, as the strongest combat clone in the military, no one had been able to assassinate the target she wanted to protect from her hands.

It's just that out of curiosity, Xuanji checked some information related to the mission before leaving, it doesn't matter if he doesn't check, he found a lot of things when he checked.

Bai Fan's mother is called Bai Xue, and Bai Fan's grandmother is Bai Qi, so Bai Fan's great-grandmother is the savior who turned the tide in the catastrophe and saved the human world, Miss W.

And the information she investigated is even more amazing, even if sixty years have passed, W may still be alive, after W gave birth to Bai Qi, W disappeared, and the Bai family's claim to the outside world is that W died of dystocia, but all this is a mystery.

All of this was supposed to have nothing to do with her mission, but she suddenly found out about a very coincidental incident, seven days after W's death in childbirth, the chairman of the United Power Council, the highest authority in the world, was assassinated.

Prior to this, some people in the Joint Powers Council tried to study the advanced technologies left over from the Starstripe Company during the Great Disaster, and the first project to pass the decision was to study the structure and basic matrix code of the Starstripe Company's cloud server, that is, the cloud technology development project.

Just after the assassination of the chairman of the Joint Powers Committee, the development of this technology also went to a standstill.

What is even more coincidental is that today, 60 years later, the development work that was on hold is back in operation, and Xuanji has consulted the development plan, and the development period is exactly six months, and the period of the protection task she has accepted is also exactly six months.

Therefore, Xuanji noticed that the task of protecting Bai Fan's life was inextricably linked to the research project that was being developed by the technology.

In other words, Bai Fan's existence, as long as he lives, will pose a threat to the research projects that are developing the technology, so there will be a steady stream of people who will come to kill him.

Although Xuanji didn't know exactly what the research was working on, she couldn't find out much more due to the project's high level of secrecy.

However, she dared to conclude that the weakness of that research project was Bai Fan, so those people would be afraid of Bai Fan, and they would want to kill Bai Fan by any means, all of which was the result of Xuanji's reasoning.

"Then why me, and not my father, or the eldest brother and second sister?" Bai Fan asked after hearing this.

Xuanji shook her head, then took another deep breath of fresh air and said, "The person who poses the biggest threat to that research project is you, if killing your family would have helped, they would have done it a long time ago." ”

"No wonder I was assassinated three times on the same day." Bai Fan said leisurely.

Then Xuanji became meaningful, and said with a hint of doubt: "I wonder who gave this task in the first place, how did he know that someone was going to kill you, and rationed the Rhythm to me, and it seems that someone is secretly helping me in all this." ”

Bai Fan's mind turned quickly, of course he was not stupid, and everything was quickly figured out.

Why was it the six-month period when the research plan was launched, and not any other time, and who was the first to give Xuanji the task, and why did they have to assassinate Bai Fan in these six months.

"The Rhythm Warrior is the latest combat armor developed by the military, and its performance is very strong, but there are only two units in the entire military, just to protect one person, and this kind of thing is actually used, and someone behind this is willing to help me." Xuanji continued.

If the combat armor she brought out from the military was not a rhythmic, if it was an ordinary combat armor, I am afraid that a month ago, she and Bai Fan would have died long ago.

"It's all a conspiracy, isn't it? I'm alive, it's a big threat to them, yes, but I'm just a wreck, why would they go to the trouble of killing me? Bai Fan replied slowly.

Saying this, a thought suddenly flashed in Bai Fan's head, and suddenly, he suddenly realized, he knew why he was hunted down by such a big scene.

As soon as Bai Fan wanted to speak, another thought came to his mind, it was a fragment of an ancient novel, 'You are the one who faces the wall. The plot of the novel came to his mind.

This kind of painstaking pursuit can only be that thing, and it can only be that thing, but Bai Fan's expression is still silent, and he behaves innocently, without a trace of fluctuation.

At this moment, he is like a competent actor, completely covering the sudden realization in his heart.

Bai Fan looked at Xuanji, he still didn't relax his vigilance in his heart, the last line of defense in his heart still didn't fully trust Xuanji, if Xuanji was an enemy, if Xuanji was also acting, if she was also trying to get out that information, if he said that, he might also be killed.

Although Xuanji doesn't look like an enemy, it's all possible.

Although Bai Fan tried his best to cover it up, there was still a brief moment, and his expression revealed a slight change.

She was a combat clone, and she could see the trajectory of the bullet in the air, and of course, the fleeting subtle change on Bai Fan's cheek at that moment.

You have something to say and swallow it back, and you still don't trust me, so it's okay. ’

Xuanji said to herself in her heart, as for whether Bai Fan trusts her or not, it is not an important matter, and it does not affect anything.

Then she took a few steps to the side, and untied a rope from the trunk of the tree that was fixed to the side, and on the rope was a few wild fruits, which looked unripe, but almost ready to eat,

Xuanji took out two green wild fruits from the rope, nibbled on them, and spit them out after chewing a few bites.

"It seems that we still have to let it go, but we still can't eat it, it's too sour, today, we can't make a fire, it seems that we can only go hungry." Xuanji said lightly and diverted the topic.
