At 14:30 p.m. on October 12, the Kitayama Barrier will be closed, and it will be a 10 to 12 hour recharge process. But before that, there was a continuous, muffled thunderous sound in the northern part of the city, which was the city defense army stationed on the outskirts of the city to create high-energy points, as they had done on previous occasions.

The dragon king, with the cooperation of the monks, was once again lured away from the sky above the North Mountain, and when the sky reappeared and the sun shone down, one could only see the long trail it left behind. It was a long rain cloud that was thousands of meters wide, and it clearly indicated the direction of the dragon king.

So Xiao Hao in the factory turned on the force field generator.

The power supply in the Houwen area is still limited, but the people of the Promotion Association have the idea of connecting the power supply line here with the charging line of the Kitayama Enchantment Generator. The electricity was stolen, but it should be difficult to detect for a while. Because at the same time, there are still some enterprises related to people's livelihood that use electricity, and when the monitoring personnel notice the abnormality of the power supply line and find the cause, the charging of the generator has been basically completed.

The football-shaped generator emitted a breathtaking glow, distorting everything within ten paces around it. It was accumulating a huge amount of energy as Xiao Hao began to cast spells. He incorporated the huge amount of spiritual power stored in the industrial gold crystal talisman into his body, and then used his own body as a channel to inject it into the generator.

As a result, the light of the generator is restrained, and a spherical prohibition appears on the surface. Li Qingyan knew that at this time, it was in a state of inducing but not initiating, electricity was the main energy source, and spiritual power was responsible for guiding the alienation of the nature of these energy sources. When it reaches the tipping point, it releases its energy all at once - because without the guidance of an auxiliary device, it will spray violently into the air, like a campfire in the darkness to the Desolate Dragon King.

Eight people were all on guard beside Xiao Hao, and Li Qingyan noticed that the gaze of several of them would occasionally sweep quickly over his body and that of Yan Sheng. Half an hour later, Xiao Hao's muscles began to atrophy, and he was almost losing weight at a rate visible to the naked eye. This is because the spiritual power output of the industrial golden crystal rune is not stable, and he cannot control the flow of his spiritual power well, so he will inevitably be drained of some of his spiritual energy. The process lasted twenty minutes, and he was almost distracted and delirious.

But he had originally held a resolute belief, but now he cut off his perception, and his face was extremely calm, like a saint who was going to die.

Serious Sheng sighed lowly, I don't know whether to admire his spirit that he has gone, or to lament this person's doomed and senseless sacrifice: "It's time for us to evacuate." ”

Electrical anomalies here will soon be discovered, and someone will come to investigate. Those people will die...... And then it will attract more military police. More military and police officers will also suffer heavy casualties, and eventually the command of Kitayama realizes that this is the final location of the promotion. So the high-level officials, including Pei Bolu, would come to the scene to command, and then the energy exploded, the desolate soul descended, and everyone died together.

- This is the plan of the Promotion Association.

No one disputes this. They sneaked out of the factory area separately, and no one said a few more words to Xiao Hao - they all knew that words were very pale at this time.

Li Qingyan and Zheng Sheng walked together. When I finally stepped onto the street, I heard the sound of a siren. At this time, Zheng Sheng was no longer Li Qingyan's superior, but became his prisoner. He clearly knew that his next fate was all under the control of Li Qingyan and Pei Yuanxiu, so he was silent and only followed his footsteps.

The two of them left the area that would be affected if a part of the desolate soul descended in twenty minutes, and then Li Qingyan took the serious student to the rooftop of a high-rise building. There are not many high-rise buildings in Wenhou District, and because it has rained for several days, the visibility is very high, so you can see the industrial park in the distance from the rooftop.

Li Qingyan walked to the rooftop to look and found fire and smoke on the street near the steel mill. At this time, you can still hear a faint, firecracker-like sound, which should be the police officers of the Public Security Bureau who arrived and exchanged fire with the people of the promotion association.

But it was clear that all eight people in the factory had been evacuated.

Li Qingyan whispered: "It seems that the Promotion Association does not fully believe you...... When we were in the factory, there was an ambush around. Now it's those who are doing it. ”

The serious student didn't speak, and Li Qingyan turned his head to look at him.

found that Lao Yan's face turned pale and said, "You should kill me." ”

Li Qingyan was stunned: "Huh?"

"Isn't it going to kill me by bringing me here? Lao Yan smiled sadly, "Let's do it, I've been ready for the past two days." You, I, are all screws. Now that our mission is complete, the big picture begins...... I'm useless. ”

"I have to congratulate you on the successful completion of the undercover mission. Regardless of the outcome of today's incident, you are not responsible...... Wait for the promotion and fortune. ”

"But for the sake of the relationship, Li Qingyan, after I die, I hope you can ask Pei Yuanxiu to fulfill your promise and keep my family safe. ”

Li Qingyan laughed: "Who said I was going to kill you? I didn't receive this kind of instruction. ”

This time, Serious Sheng was stunned and frowned.

"Don't you believe it?" Li Qingyan turned around and looked at the neighborhood over there, "Also, Lao Yan, do you think our business is really over?" You're also a smart person, didn't you notice that something was wrong? ”

"What's wrong?" said Serious Sheng understood Li Qingyan. At least I knew that if he said "not kill" at this time, it should really mean that. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to his side.

"Xiao Hao obviously doesn't trust the two of us that much, you should see it. The other guys were actually watching out for us—didn't they notice their eyes when they were about to leave? ”

"But Lao Yan, you are the commander of this operation here, why don't you know?"

Serious frowned: "Maybe it's because I don't believe it, so it's inconvenient to ask me to know-"

"Herein lies the problem. Lay out the generator, the last step of the stage plan. Such an important task, but it brought in two of us who were not trusted. Li Qingyan said softly, "I am the chairman of the board, and I will never do that." And then there's ...... If this operation fails, is there any remedy? What's next? Do you think it's normal?"

Serious thought with a solemn face: "Then what do you mean?"

Li Qingyan was silent for a while: "It's not interesting." I just don't think things are quite right...... It's not quite right. Never mind. I can think of this, and there's no reason why the command side can't think of it. ”

At this time, there was a violent explosion over there, and I don't know if it was a bomb, a mine, or a spell. The gunfire gradually subsided, and it seemed that the first group of officers who arrived were dead and wounded, and they were unable to attack again.

Li Qingyan sighed lowly: "So many people died. ”

Serious business looked at him outside: "You people from the Special Intelligence Agency also care about the dead?" ”

Li Qingyan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Do you have any misunderstanding about me?" I don't care about the dead, but I'm not used to seeing people die like this. ”

Command is aware of the Facilitation's plans. Everything that is being done now is to cooperate with their plans, to get them to go ahead, and to find out what they are going to do. This means that the group of vigilantes who were killed and wounded just now were unaware and kept in the dark, thinking that they had discovered some of the Promotion's targets - they were also sacrificed according to plan.

Then there will be a second group of people, who will also have to be sacrificed as planned. Next, when the bigwigs arrive, they will begin to uncover the mystery.

Serious understood what he meant, so he smiled, "Oh." But you can't change anything. ”

"It really can't be changed. Li Qingyan turned around and took out his mobile phone from his arms and looked at it, "Well, now you should rest assured." Pei Yuanxiu's news. ”

"Say that the tasks of the two of us are over for the time being, and ask me to take you away, properly settle you, and accept sanctions after the matter is over...... Lao Yan, haven't you thought about what you have done all these years to get a sentence?"

Serious Sheng smiled indifferently: "The death penalty is more than enough." ”

"Then pray that this operation will be a complete victory, and then you will pay for it. Li Qingyan waved his hand at him, "You can go home first." Stay good and wait for someone to pick you up later. ”

"Go home?" Serious looked at him in surprise, "you let me go?"

"Are you still afraid that you will run away? The whole family is here, and the entrance and exit of Beishan are sealed again. Where can you, an ordinary person who has never cultivated, run away? The promotion council doesn't trust you anymore, and I don't believe you dare to take the initiative to go to them again. Okay, let's go. Go home to accompany your wife, children, and grandchildren. ”

Serious looked at him without blinking, and took three tentative steps: "Then I'm really leaving." ”

Li Qingyan smiled.

Serious Sheng let out a sigh of relief: "If I hadn't died, I would have remembered your kindness." ”

Then he strode into the hallway and ran downstairs.

Li Qingyan stood on the rooftop for a while and paced a few steps. At this time, he suddenly felt a little bored.

The novelty is actually running out for a long time - the freshness of working in the Secret Service. When I left the training camp in Northern Siberia, I thought that maybe being an intelligence officer would encounter quite a lot of new and exciting things. But then I went undercover in the city investment bank, and the task was very boring, and I worked as a clerk for almost three years, and the work was not challenging.

After that, I went to the promotion association...... And then it's boring too. Radicals also have to live and don't do things every day, and if they do do do things, it's not big or small, it's not difficult for him. At this time, the promotion association seemed to have a big plan, and he thought that he might feel different, but now he realized that as a screw, he would not have any special feelings.

Pei Yuanxiu should be in the headquarters now. Those who are there can see the big picture and see what can barely be called a thrilling confrontation between the two sides. But now he stood on the top of the empty rooftop and looked out, and could only see the buildings of Beishan City. There were many people and things happening in the building, but he didn't realize it.

He was left out of the core...... is a marginal person.

Super boring.

At this time, it is more understandable why some people will climb up by any means. In addition to the factor of enjoying a better life, it is because you can experience a "sense of control". It's like the computer strategy game he played with Pei Yuanxiu in the refresher class - the controller can experience the fun of seeing the whole picture, but as a small soldier in the queue, there is no fun at all.

Li Qingyan sighed and turned to go downstairs as well. He doesn't often feel like a "pearl covered in dust". Because what he pursues is different from the vast majority of people in the world, he doesn't care much about salary, benefits, and rank. But now he feels unhappy - he wants to figure out the premonition in his heart, and wants to understand the true intention of the promotion association, but he doesn't have the same conditions as Pei Yuanxiu.

The North Mountain Barrier was closed, and cars began to appear on the streets. There was an exchange of fire on the factory side, and the crowd began to be evacuated here. Li Qingyan was lucky, stopped a car, and then took the car back to Hongyang Street.

He felt that Zhou Lihuang's kid was unreliable. Now that I have a little respite, I plan to ask Lao Wen what is going on. Solve it as soon as possible, and then contact Pei Yuanxiu.

The driver is talkative. Along the way, they talked about the "news" that "there was a fight over there in the industrial park", and it was completely unclear what kind of disaster that incident might bring to the city. Li Qingyan was in no mood to talk to him, and finally the driver had to shut up.

After getting out of the car and checking out, Li Qingyan stood across the road and looked at the iron gate of the street office. Then he realized that he shouldn't go back now—he had just completed his mission, but it was time to kick off the prelude. Maybe there's something about him after that, and he'll have to keep a low profile.

But at the second glance, I saw an acquaintance - Lao Mi was walking out of the grocery store here, carrying a toilet tie in his hand.

Seeing Li Qingyan, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Director Li? Look at how coincidental this is? I was looking for you two days ago - you are now promoted?"

Li Qingyan smiled: "Job transfer, Gao Sheng can't talk about it." Ask me about quotas? Now I can't be the master. ”

Lao Mi hurriedly smiled: "Hey, I wanted to ask before, but now I don't need to ask." ”

When he said this, he restrained his smile, as if he realized that it was inappropriate to laugh like this because of something. Leaned closer to Li Qingyan and lowered his voice: "Director Li, do you know? Something happened to the old Wen family - his three little cubs ran away from the nursery class, and they haven't been found for several days. I only found out about it last night. ”

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't be gloating...... But according to the policy, if this kind of thing happens, will his family's quota this year be out of play? Alas, Lao Wen is also a bad year this year. "Lao Mi is also talkative, and his mouth is like a machine gun when he speaks," I heard that a few days ago, a group of people came to the door and beat him, saying that it was because of some modified car. I wondered if the old Wen family was also short of money - the three little cubs were all in the nursery class, what a big expense. It's not easy for anyone to ......."

Li Qingyan was stunned: "What?"

Because of the modified car. A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

"Lao Wen was beaten up, the child ran away?" he frowned at Lao Mi, "was beaten first, and then the cub ran away?"
