The SUV was parked outside an unnamed cemetery.

Yu Jing was the first to get out of the car, followed by Li Xiang and Zhang Xixi.

After coming here, Zhang Xixi also restrained the smile on his face, and replaced it with a touch of heaviness and sadness.

"This is one of the hidden cemeteries that was set up before the polar night, and compared to those strongholds, even if it is known, no one will destroy it. Yu Jing sighed, the cemetery was depressed, and only one of the old grave keepers was still dutiful and stood straight outside the cemetery.

Seeing Li Xiang and the others, the old grave keeper stood more straight and saluted Li Xiang to express his respect for the new leader.

There are many such old people, who are scattered in various positions of the New Polar Night Organization, and continue to exert the remaining light and heat, and it is also they who support the body of the Polar Night from generation to generation.

Li Xiang bowed solemnly, and then followed the two into the cemetery.

The cemetery is desolate, but the grave is clean, and there is not a trace of weeds.

Seeing this, he suddenly remembered how lost Shadow looked at a row of subordinate graves after returning from the forgotten town.

Yu Jing led him to the last row, where there were three newly erected tombstones, brand new and nameless.

"Three of the ten. Yu Jing reached out and gently stroked the tombstone, there was a junior brother she had brought inside, but now he was lying on the ground as a cold corpse.

Li Xiang looked at the tombstone silently, and said lightly: "There must be life and death, before they acted, I said that this time may be a long time to go." Tell me about them, and about the other seven. ”

"Zhang Fang, installed in the Niedig family, served as the close guard of the family's first heir, failed in assassination, and was killed. ”

"Wang Ke, who was installed in the Obimi family and served as the captain of the middle-level guard, was recognized by Kong Fanyu of the Confucian family and tortured to death. By the way, Major General Kong Mu, the first person in the Mesozoic Era of the Kong family, is going to marry the eldest lady of the Obimi family, and it seems that Lieutenant General Ji Shuxue has made a decision, and it will probably not be long before the ownership of the Gendarmerie Department will be transferred to him. ”

"Mercury, installed in Kong's house, served as the deputy director of quality inspection in the arsenal, was implicated because Wang Ke's identity was exposed, and also died of torture by Kong Fanyu. In this way, all of our people in the Kong family will be uprooted, Chief Instructor, should we send someone to lurk in again?"

Zhang Xixi closed the light curtain and looked at him, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

Li Xiang shook his head and asked her to continue to report on the movements of the other seven.

After listening to the narration, Li Xiang quietly looked at the three tombs, originally with their qualifications, they could enter a good university, and they could also become a good combat force in the human camp in the future, at least they should die in the war against calamity, not by internal friction.

For countless years, the internal friction of the human camp has far exceeded the losses of war, which is the root of human inferiority.

As long as they are alive, the fight will never end.

"Chief Instructor, here's a secret letter from General Xiao's Ten Legions, please check it. Yu Jing whispered to him, it was a confidential matter, even she and Zhang Xixi had no right to know, so they could only relay it on their behalf.

Li Xiang nodded slightly, took out the communication device and looked at it.

He remembered that the girl named Yao Kui who was installed in the Ten Legions was the first girl in the group of ten to dare to show her love.

Click on the message, and the red font is particularly eye-catching.

General Xiao will launch a sneak attack on the chief instructor in the near future, so be sure to convey it!

"Can't help it?" The corners of Li Xiang's mouth rose slightly, combined with the news from the Kong family, it was obvious that Xiao had become an abandoned son of Ji Blood.

This is a good opportunity.

If he hid in the military headquarters, or under the protection of the Ten Legions, even if he had countless helps, it would be difficult to annihilate this great enemy.

But since the owl chose to sneak attack himself, it means that there may be a possibility of a solitary battle.

At that time, a level 2 player was not very scary, this was his best chance to kill Li Xiang, and it was also a good time for Li Xiang to deal with him.

Arrangements have to be made quickly.

Li Xiang turned off the communicator and looked at Yu Jing: "There should be something else, right?"

If it was just to mourn the three dead graduates, there was no need to call him to such a place.

Yu Jing glanced at Zhang Xixi, the two hesitated, and finally nodded.

Back on the off-road vehicle, Yu Jing repeatedly confirmed whether there was tracking information, and checked the confidentiality of the off-road vehicle with Zhang Xixi several times before speaking.

"Chief Instructor...... Li Xiang, Yu Yi of the Snake Assassination Section died. ”

Yu Yi, the senior who trained in the second phase at the beginning.

After that mission, they never saw each other again.

I remember leaving at that time, Yu Yi also specifically mentioned that the mission assigned to him by the Magic Association was obviously unequal in difficulty and reward, and they encountered a critical xenomorph there, and almost wiped out.

Later, it was said that Yu Yi deliberately went to the Magic Association to file a lawsuit, but unfortunately the client who issued the task canceled all the accounts.

The matter was not resolved after that, but a seed was planted in Yu Yi's heart, and he has been secretly investigating.

"Some time ago, Yu Yi contacted me, his mental state was very wrong, and before that, he often reported to me on the progress of the investigation related to that incident. But that day, he suddenly contacted me and said that the matter had been investigated and that it was no big deal. ”

Yu Jing recalled the last communication with Yu Yi, and the two did not have much contact, but that time always gave her a strong sense of disobedience, but she couldn't find any disharmony.

"What he told you at that time was to stop investigating one thing?" Li Xiang was also a little puzzled, according to Yu Yi's character and the extension of this matter, he would not give up suddenly.

"Could it be a threat or something?"

"No, it can't be. Even if someone threatens him, he won't hide it from me. Judging from the conversation that day, he really didn't plan to investigate, as if he was ...... It's as if he suddenly found that this was a very meaningless thing, or that the conclusion he came to was quite uninteresting, and he was so sure of this conclusion that he proposed to terminate the investigation. ”

Yu Jing tilted her head, trying her best to recall,

"By the way, he also said that he took on a new mission that day, and then he died in that mission. ”

"Has that mission been investigated, do you have any specific information?" Li Xiang frowned and asked.

"Naturally, it was investigated. Although Yu Yi is only a level 2 magician, his strength is not weak in his class, and he is also very cautious, rarely touching tasks outside the scope of his ability. I've launched all sorts of relationships, and I've thoroughly investigated them through the Magic Association, and it's a mission that can't be more ordinary. ”

"The content of the mission is to exterminate a group of xenomorphs that suddenly appeared on the North Continent border, and he is not the only one who participates in this purge mission, but also more than a dozen magicians from all over the world, and I have investigated their identities one by one, all of them are innocent, and there is no problem. In the process of extermination, probably due to the influence of the player's assessment, a new void rift appeared, and several Calamity Clans appeared, killing all of these cleaning teams!"

Calamity Dependents.

The last time these guys were seen was in Hokuriku, the ultimate trial.

That time was because the abyss gate of the little girl's calamity was opened, and many fish-headed monsters poured out of it.

Speaking of which, the Dependents generally come out of the Abyss Gate, why did they come out through the Void Rift?

"The Player Support team cleaned up the mess and determined what happened. Those clans had been living in the Void Rift, and their owners were still alive inside, and this time it was an accident. ”

"Do you really think it's an accident?" Li Xiang frowned, things always felt a little strange.

Yu Jing was silent, glanced at Zhang Xixi, and then slowly shook his head.

How could it be an accident!

Because it's the calamity.

"No. C-98665, Calamity Named Thousand Tooth Phantom. Yu Jing also took out the electronic light curtain and called up the secret file of this calamity, which she obtained through the network of the New Polar Night Organization and the Clock Tower, and she would destroy it after reading it.

"It's been over thirty years since the last time it was first seen, and one of the most famous battles was the destruction of an entire player exploration party in the Borderlands, with your maid Heatheria among the victims. ”

Li Xiang remembered this: "Well, at that time, Sister Heatheria had just been promoted to level 1, and that calamity had already hidden in the human world by possessing her lurking body, and that was the first time that it showed its fangs. The strength is equivalent to a human level 6 player, and one-on-one I am afraid that only level 6 or above can defeat it. ”

As for killing calamities, it is difficult to ascend to heaven.

After all, so far, the weapons that human players rely on the most are the calamity weapons from Calamity, and it can be said that the history of human players is a process of continuous learning from Calamity.

Of course, level 9 players such as the White King can indeed completely destroy some low-level calamities, but after stepping up to C-level, their powerful super-speed regeneration ability and source fire that have been split countless times make them almost immortal.

The worst outcome is that the main body will be destroyed by the human player, and then the clone will fall into the Calamity World for a long sleep and repair.

"Yes, the last time the border was ravaged, the Night King personally blasted it into the Void, and it is said that he has been living in the Void Rift to recuperate. This time, it happened to come out of that rift, and countless clans were released, killing Yu Yi and their cleaning team. ”

Just as the word was pronounced by her accent.

Obviously, Yu Jing could not accept this reason.

"That's what's interesting, chief instructor, you see, although those magicians who perform tasks come from all over the world, without exception, they don't have a strong identity background, they don't have a strong force to rely on, they are a group of people who can be 'sacrificed'. Zhang Xixi took out the information and was amazed, "I have to suspect that this is a long-planned killing." It's just that even if it were made public, no one would believe that someone had designed to lure out the Calamity Clan in order to kill a level 2 magician?"

"Sister Yu Jing, you said before that Yu Yi felt very discordant when he came to you before he died, can you describe that feeling specifically?" Li Xiang felt as if he had caught something.

Yu Jing was silent for a moment, and then tried her best to describe it.

I can't explain it, after all, it's just a very abstract feeling.

But Li Xiang understood.

"It's 'refresh', a 'refresh' from the goddess of calamity. He explained the concept of refresh to the two of them, and Yu Jing nodded suddenly.

"Yes, yes, that's how it feels! He's not him! But he's him!"

Hearing that the goddess of calamity still had such a terrifying means of control, the two of them turned pale.

Yu Jing and Zhang Xixi will also participate in the player assessment in a few years, although it is unlikely that they will be promoted, but becoming a player is the lifelong wish of countless people, and they must always give it a try.

Unexpectedly, the players are not as detached as they imagined.

It's just like you're in a bigger cage.

"Investigate all of Yu Yi's movements before I found you that time. "Li Xiang didn't believe that this was not a ghost, the refresh of the Goddess of Calamity had only been used on level 9 existences, and it was used on him last time, and it had never been used on a magician.

Unless he has memories that must be erased.

Yu Jing quickly used the communication device to check, but found nothing.

"Don't use the telegraph or any mechanical device, you can go to the Magic Society and other places to find out in person, and bring some people. Li Xiang interrupted her movements.

"Yes. The two nodded.

A thin net loomed over his head, but at this moment it seemed to have broken a small opening.

Back to City 0126, the City 0127 next to it finally slowly returned to the right path under the management and repair of the Nedri family, and the actual control was actually in the hands of Li Xiang.

The city of 0126 has become a tight military fortress under the creation of the Crimson Moon, and since the establishment of the New Polar Night, the Crimson Moon has become one of the Crimson Departments, and more attention has been paid to the city's defense facilities.

Li Xiang's fame attracted countless mechanics and rangers to settle in, and for a time there were many talents, and the city slowly developed into a super city prototype.

The huge crimson edifice that stretches between the heavens and the earth is already an indelible symbol in the memories of the people who live here.

They are proud of the Crimson Moon and proud to work in it.

Under Li Xiang's instructions, Wang Bo raised the welfare of Crimson Moon again, so that all employees who settled in the company could be perfectly guaranteed, from life to family to children, so that they could serve the forces wholeheartedly.

This is a method that has never been used by other Maison forces.

After all, the establishment of the Family Alliance is to monopolize resources, and 99% of human resources are used on 1% of people, which has always been the style.

New Polar Night breaks that rule.

Li Xiang adheres to the concept of Polar Night and Lighthouse, everyone is equal, and reuses resources on countless people, so that they can create greater returns, so that the overall level of power will be improved, rather than just benefiting some people.

This approach is obviously time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is impossible to achieve results without strong resources and a long period of time.

And in the initial stage, it must be a loss-making transaction.

No player is willing to spend their energy on this, nor is they willing to wait for this moment to come, the immediate interests are the most critical, and the most important thing is to be able to enter the Family Alliance as soon as possible.

Since the promulgation of the decree, it has been blocked by many internal parties, but it has finally achieved phased success.

The crimson moon twisted together embodies extraordinary power in City 0126.

In just one year, it has far surpassed all the surrounding numbered cities, and has become the first city with the strongest comprehensive strength in science and technology, humanities and research.

With the return of Li Xiang, a big battle is slowly brewing over the city.

He stood on the rooftop of the Crimson Building, overlooking the night view of the city, the evening breeze caressed, cool and quiet.
