Chapter 5: Preparation
The strength of the S-rank, even if it is because the rating and judgment standards of the East and the West are the same, will essentially be very different from its target Avatar Stage Cultivator.
But this level itself already represents the high-level combat power of the superpowers on this planet.
At this moment, Jiang Li looked at the witch, and the witch was also standing in front of Jiang Li.
If the two of them fight, it is estimated that this factory will not be enough to be affected by the aftermath of their battle.
But fortunately, since he found out that he was a witch, Jiang Li lost the desire to fight.
And after the witch got Tang Wenqing, she was not as aggressive as when she gave Jiang Li when she first came.
"I didn't expect that even now I would be able to meet the witch." Jiang Li smiled and began to fight.
There was once a world war of superpowers on the Blue Star, and Jiang Li unfortunately participated.
In the war again, Jiang Li had a lot of experience fighting with witches, and he also knew a lot of things about witches.
Even if the word witch has always been bad in the eyes of Blue Star superpowers, Jiang Li doesn't plan to fight her to the death.
And not from a personal point of view, the witch really wants to fight, Jiang Li doesn't say it first, no one in the five elements outside will survive.
For the sake of his juniors, junior brothers and sisters, Jiang Li will definitely not do it.
"We have no intention of stirring up disputes." The witch spoke, "I'm just here to pick up my suffering compatriots. ”
"But in the mission information I received, she was a research institute." Jiang Li paused, "I remember, disguising your identity is not your usual style. ”
"She's never been a researcher."
"But she did stay at the institute."
"Only researchers are allowed to stay in the lab?"
“……”
"I'm going to take her away." The witch hugged Tang Wenqing, slowly bypassed Jiang Li, and walked outside the warehouse.
Jiang Li didn't stop it, and he won't stop it. He just stood there and sighed silently.
"Second Senior Brother, are you okay?" Lin Zhu's voice came again, but this time it was more timely than the previous two times.
"We detected that the strong energy source just now has left the factory, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just let him run away after saying some heart-wrenching words to the target." Jiang Li replied.
……
"Second Senior Brother, is it really okay to run the target task?"
On the way back, Lin Zhu asked with some concern.
"What's this, the client didn't say that he must be caught today." Jiang Li leaned back on the carriage and made himself sit more comfortably.
Because after the mission is over, it is necessary to follow the process to record, the process of recording is not important, the important thing is to go back to the base.
So Jiang Li didn't leave first, but followed Lin Zhu and them back in the car.
Of course, in order to camouflage, to cover the whereabouts of the troops, they did trucks.
"I feel like I'm just done with nothing." Lin Zhu continued.
"Isn't that good? No injuries and no danger of death. Jiang Li paused, "Today's incident is not something that you can solve now, even if I am not here, you can only ask for help from the Five Elements in other regions."
"Rushing forward will only kill you, and you will only get a pennant, and nothing will be gained."
"But even if you say that, Second Senior Brother, I still feel a little ......."
"A little guilty? Then hurry up and improve your cultivation so that you can be on your own. Don't be preoccupied with going down the wrong path.
"Like your iron ...... I have seen the cultivator, there is no problem with the design, it is simply that your cultivation is not enough basic skills and is not solid, which leads to the inscription is not engraved well, so that the line failure is out of control. ”
"After this mission is over, your third senior sister should also come out, and when the time comes, I will take you to cultivate, lest as a Five Elements, your cultivation is not as good as other people's small soldiers."
Jiang Li began to teach that in fact, in the past, because the war had just ended, and there were no too dangerous incidents in L City, Jiang Li had always adopted a free-range attitude in the face of his three newly appointed junior brothers and sisters.
After all, many big problems can be easily solved as long as you take action yourself.
But today's mercenaries and witches made Jiang Li realize his mistake.
If the mercenaries were actually not Tang Wenqing's puppets at that time, and chose to break through strongly when they were surrounded, with the cultivation of Lin Zhu and Xin Wan, how many people could they keep?
If the witch was not such a peaceful person, eager to save her compatriots, but first went outside to kill and then come in, how could Jiang Li stop her?
Although this is a small probability event that only happens once in the decades he has been in office, there is a second time.
The devil knows when the next one will be a surprise attack.
So before that, I had to find a way to raise the overall combat level of the five elements in L City.
At the very least, let them live until they come.
In fact, Jiang Li really wanted to hurry up and pull them to devilish training now, but as the saying goes, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
To carry out targeted training, there is still a lack of preparation, and no preparation is ineffective.
Moreover, he still has some more important things to do.
The sculpture in his pocket, his aura perception couldn't tell that there was anything special about this sculpture.
But it can attract Tang Wenqing after losing consciousness so much, which is obviously problematic. And Tang Wenqing's abnormality and the sudden appearance of the witch are obviously related to his entrusting party Hongwei's life.
Now, when it comes to finding out the connections behind them, this sculpture is the only clue.
After returning to the base to make a record, Jiang Li took the sculpture to the northernmost area of the Five Elements Base, and the guide on his head told the people passing by that this was the territory of the Divination Department.
There are several departments in the Five Elements: the combat department responsible for accompanying executive officers like Jiang Li and Lin Zhu to go out on duty, the forging department responsible for managing combat equipment, the pill medicine department responsible for battlefield medicine, the planting department for planting fairy grass elixir, and other departments responsible for finance, food and the like will not be mentioned for the time being.
The Divination Department is also in these sections, and they will use a variety of divination techniques to carry out the reconnaissance of mission information and obtain clues to some important objects in the case.
Although there are many metaphysical elements involved that Jiang Li can't explain, as an intelligence department, their efficiency and accuracy have always been reassuring.
"Help me see if there's anything special about this sculpture."
Because the matter is relatively special, Jiang Li directly found his old colleague, the director of the divination department, Wangxing.
Wangxing gave Jiang Li a lot of face, and he was watching the astrological divination and studying the gossip of the small employees in the department, as soon as he saw Jiang Li coming over with something, he immediately put down the matter at hand and came to help.
"Where did you get this?" Wangxing took the statue and looked at it carefully for a while. "Hey, it's the Terracotta Warriors of the Lonely Warriors series that I haven't been able to buy!"
"I took it from the owner of a bubble tea shop, and he said he bought it from a stall." Jiang Li didn't bother to complain, "I can't see anything special about it in my perception, but it seems to be able to attract ...... They. ”
Jiang Li didn't say the word witch directly, but replaced them with them, and the witch was quietly drawn on the table of the stargazer while he said it.
Wangxing also saw Jiang Li's small movements, nodded, and looked at the statue with a look of reverence even more reverence than just now.
The confidentiality agreement also did not allow him to be deleted from the memories of the witch like most others, and Wangxing, who also survived the superpower war a hundred years ago with Jiang Li, understood the horror of the witch.
Since I haven't had a chance to introduce it before, let's explain it now.
A hundred years ago, on the Blue Star, there was a vigorous world war.
Although on the surface the war was an arms race between countries around the world, behind the scenes, it was actually a showdown between superpowers from various countries.
The witch is the best in this war.
They are so powerful that one man can crush an army and five can tear a city apart.
They did not belong to the cultivator system of Huaxia, and strictly speaking, they did not belong to the system of the White Eagle Federation and the Sun Radiance Alliance's innate special abilities.
They were born out of a brutal experiment.
That year, the current capital of sin, the Iron Blood Empire, was facing the catastrophe of imminent destruction because of the defeat in the war.
In order to turn the tide, scientists in the empire have launched experiments to create powerful artificial superpowers that can be mass-produced.
The witch was the product of that experiment.
The cruelty and process of the experiment will not be repeated here, and each witch has exchanged a very short lifespan for great power.
No one lived to be twenty-five years old.
At that time, Blue Star, if it weren't for the union of various countries, plus some favorable time and place, finally captured the capital of sin and interrupted the witch plan.
So today's Blue Star definitely wants to change his appearance.
Because the power of the witch is too terrifying, and the experiment is completely dehumanized, the witch project was sealed by the United Nations, and most of the insiders' memories were erased with a confidentiality agreement.
Jiang Li and Wangxing are the small group of people who have not been erased.
It is estimated that in the five elements of the entire L City, the two of them still remember the true face of the witch.
"Are you going to report it?" Wangxing asked in a low voice, carefully pronouncing it as if speaking loudly, and someone would come to check his water meter tonight.
Wangxing's meaning is obvious, there is also a clause in the confidentiality agreement signed back then, if people who have not been deleted from their memories, if they have relevant information related to witches in the future, they must report it in time.
"I don't plan to, there are a lot of suspicious points in their appearance, and before they understand it thoroughly, it is easy to startle the snake." Jiang Li also lowered his voice, and even put a soundproofing technique to isolate the outflow of sound just to be safe.
"That's okay, if something happens, you can take care of me."
"I don't have that strength."
"Come on, you're almost as good as someone else, pretend with me?" Wangxing winked at Jiang Li contrivedly.
"......" Jiang Li did not respond.
"Based on my years of collecting experience, there is no such piece of glass on the original sculpture." Wangxing didn't continue, and turned his head to take out the piece of glass on the sculpture.
If you look closer, you can see that this is not actually a piece of glass, but a very pure and even transparent red crystal.
"There's no aura stored on it, so it's no wonder you can't perceive it." Wangxing placed the glass piece in a small glass bottle, "But if you look at it with a spiritual vision that can see cause and effect, this crystal seems to be entangled with a very great cause and effect." ”
"Can we find the source of cause and effect?"
"This may take some time, if you still have anything you want to investigate, tell me about it, and I'll give you a piece of information then."
"So, can you tell me something about the magnificent life?"
