Chapter 05: In the Smoke
Everything is going smoothly according to plan -
As Suzaku expected, the Huatang Chamber of Commerce did not have the idea of fighting Ji Luo, but directly chose to retreat.
Among the items they escorted this time, the most valuable ones were the antique calligraphy and paintings in the first three cars, and although the Yuan Jing in the last car was valuable, it was not precious.
"Really...... Decisive. β
After confirming that the escort convoy had left, Ji Luo turned his gaze again. In the scattered water curtain, the badly damaged escort car had already turned off, and the dark grease continued to drip out, emitting a pungent smell.
Ji Luo walked to the end of the carriage, and the long sword in his hand stabbed forward, and the orange high-temperature blade instantly sank into the steel, as easily as piercing butter. Then, Ji Luo's arm pulled down, and the heavily protected carriage door broke in response-
In the dimly lit carriage, two figures in protective suits were unconscious, both alive, but with a lot of broken bones.
Being able to survive that kind of shock and shock, these two people are obviously not ordinary people, and with the vitality of the realm martial artists, their lives are safe.
"Actually using a realm warrior as an escort bodyguard, how much did the Huatang Chamber of Commerce make from the black market?"
Ji Luo squatted down and tried to open the sealed cabin containing the goods, but found that the cabin used both an electronic lock and an ancient mechanical lock, and the source plan armor easily cracked the electronic lock, but the mechanical lock had to be opened with two keys at the same time, and the current situation was not solved at all.
"What a delay in time! Is the electronic lock not safe, making such bells and whistles. β
Ji Luo had no choice but to use Alpha's ultra-high temperature light blade to cut through the sealed cabin, in order to ensure the safety of the source crystal inside, Ji Luo had to act carefully, wasting a lot of time before finally cutting open the cabin.
"Looks like the harvest isn't bad......"
The cargo box encapsulated with the source crystal, the length is about one meter five, the width and height are about thirty centimeters, and it is also a double insurance of electronic lock and mechanical lock, Ji Luo did not delay the time to open it, and walked out of the carriage directly with the box.
("Suzaku, I've already succeeded, what's going on?")
β('It's a little strange.,There's no personnel transfer in the 11th Bureau.,Just three police forces are approaching you.'" βοΌ
"No personnel transfers?!"
At this moment, Ji Luo finally noticed something abnormal, he suddenly stopped, and the hand holding the blade tightened again!
"I'm afraid not, the eleventh bureau has already arranged all the personnel-"
As he spoke, Ji Luo turned his body and raised his head slightly, his eyes met with the figure standing on the carriage in mid-air!
"Am I right? Captain of the 11th Raid Team...... An Yujin. β
"Don't move! I don't care if you are the legendary Infinite Sword Saint Yi in the city, or some kind of person who pretends to be a god, now- I will arrest you with the authority of the Eleventh Bureau!"
On the carriage, the stunning girl stood alone, holding a blue spear, her sharp eyes stared at Ji Luo, as if as long as Ji Luo made any moves, she would pierce it with one shot-
"Since three months ago, you have carried out more than a dozen illegal acts such as robbery, assault and murder against people who commit crimes such as robbery, theft, and underworld. β
"Today, you committed a premeditated crime against the Huatang Chamber of Commerce and looted tens of millions of source crystal strategic materials. β
"In addition, you pretend to be a ghost, spread rumors and panic, punish you for several crimes, and act with self-respect!"
An Yujin didn't have a way to determine what the identity of the person in front of her, who was hidden in the mechanical power armor, and what he had done, she tried to shake his mind with words and make him reveal his flaws.
However, what An Yujin didn't expect was that he knew that he had been surrounded by the manpower secretly arranged by the eleventh game, but the other party was still calm, just looking at himself, and he didn't even mean to resist.
"An Yujin, give me a chance. β
"How did I give you a chance?"
An Yujin didn't know what the person in front of her wanted to do, but she still followed his words and said, at this moment, people from all over the world are coming, as long as he delays the time, it is impossible for him to run!
"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person. β
"Okay, go talk to the judge and see if he lets you be a good person. β
An Yujin didn't expect that this urban legend 'Wuji Sword Saint Yi' would be like other criminals, when he was caught, he was full of lies and wanted to exonerate himself. The girl sneered, ignoring the possibility of the other party's resistance, and directly extinguished his delusion of exoneration.
"That's to let me die. β
"Nobody wants you to die, it's your choice!Now, take off your mask and tie your hands-"
An Yujin felt the weakness in the other party's words, and her tone suddenly hardened, trying to crush him with momentum and end this confrontation.
However, what made An Yujin feel inexplicable was that this 'Infinite Sword Saint', as if stimulated by her words, was very excited to babble nonsense.
"Ah...... Such handsome lines, I have wanted to say it again for a long time! Damn! It's rare to have such a good scene, An Yujin, you started to pick up so perfectly, why did you fall off the chain later! Aren't you a policeman? Oh...... You're not a cop, that's fine. β
Ji Luo muttered a lot, nodded thoughtfully, as if he was mentally ill, and understood and agreed to something.
"An Yujin, has anyone told you...... You're a genius?"
"Huh?"
"You are a genius who writes scripts, especially all kinds of famous lines, obviously the dimensions are different, you can inexplicably face the radio waves, you are really amazing...... I really admire you, no! I adore you!"
"Huh?"
At this moment, An Yujin looked confused, her mind was full of question marks, although this 'easy' voice had been changed, she could still clearly feel the admiration in this person's words - it was sincere!
Who is he?
Does he know her?
Did he have contact with her?
"Who the hell are you?!Have I seen you?"
An Yujin went through all the acquaintances in her mind, but she eliminated them all one by one, although the person in front of her could not see his appearance, but his temperament was very special, as long as she knew it, she would not admit her mistake!
"Ah, don't get me wrong, you don't know me, I don't have the source power yet, I have seen you from afar a few times, and I have never dared to get close. Anyway, you beat the figure of those who committed it...... Really handsome, played great!"
Ji Luo nodded in admiration, and gave An Yujin a thumbs up, admiring her heroic appearance.
It's a pity that An Yujin didn't feel like she was praised, but felt insulted-
A perpetrator, swaggering to spy on himself, but never found out to himself, and now he tells himself this, not what an insult is!
"Infinite Sword Saint Yi! I don't care who you are, take off your armor immediately, and take it with your hands tied! You are now surrounded by us, and the sniper has already aimed at your head, please don't kill yourself!"
"Soriwa Dokarna~"
Under the helmet of the source plan's armor, the smile on Ji Luo's face was extremely bright, he and An Yujin had been arguing, but it wasn't to wait for him to be surrounded......
In the next second, as if to confirm Ji Luo's words, thousands of drones crossed the sky, and the sound of the rotors rattled like a swarm, and even cast a large shadow on the ground.
Under the remote control of Suzaku, the drone swarm quickly dispersed, swooped down to the predetermined position, and then detonated the smoke, fog, and bombs carried on the tail!
The scene was like a drop of ink falling into a pool of clear water, and the gray and black mist exploded between the streets and buildings, engulfing everything in the range, and dyeing everyone's vision black.
"Comrades, shoot, don't be afraid of accidental injury, the sword master is going to run away!"
Ji Luo carried the cargo box and shouted evilly as he ran in the direction of the construction site on the side.
But who knows, Ji Luo has just finished skinning, and retribution is coming, and before he has crossed the fence of the construction site, he feels the cargo box in his hand suddenly shake, and it flies out of his hand directly!
"Holy!"
At that moment, Ji Luo felt a sense of crisis that made him creepy, he didn't even care about the Yuan Jing worth tens of millions, and he rolled on the spot decisively, and dodged the sniper that came again.
Boom!!!
The burning sniper bullet pierced the ground like a sharp blade, and after the muffled sound, a deep hole with a diameter of five centimeters appeared where Ji Luo had stood before!
"What are you kidding! Hit me with an anti-materiel sniper rifle, you want me dead!"
Although Ji Luo is not a military fan, he had also heard of the name of the anti-materiel rifle in his previous life. This large-caliber sniper rifle can penetrate even armored vehicles and airplanes, and half of the human body will explode into plasma as long as it rubs the edges.
And in this world full of source power and desolate beasts, the power of this kind of gun has been raised to an outrageous level, once it is loaded with a special source crystal bullet, eight hundred meters away, one shot can beat a low-level realm martial artist or a small desolate beast into a blood mist, and even the funeral is saved.
Ji Luo also didn't know if the source plan armor on his body could withstand this kind of bullet, he didn't dare to bet and didn't want to bet. The sniper was clearly confident, and when he hit the cargo box he was carrying with his first shot, he was not missing, but he was warning himself, even ...... The second shot may have spared the hand.
"An Yujin, this girl, is too ruthless. β
Ji Luo hid behind a mixer truck, and didn't dare to go back to carry the cargo box, he turned over and sneaked into the building under construction, and was just about to send a message to Suzaku, but he didn't expect her to call directly-
"Ji Luo, are you okay?
As soon as the phone was connected, the girl's anxious and nervous voice came from the other end. Ji Luo was also a little uneasy, but listening to Suzaku's panicked voice, he suddenly calmed down.
"If I get hit, can I still chat with you like this~ Anyway, Suzaku, I~ I'm very sad! Obviously she didn't do anything excessive, and she also helped eradicate the scum in the eleventh round, why did she hate me so much, and even used an anti-materiel sniper rifle. β
Ji Luo found a corner of the load-bearing wall and sat down on the ground with a big grin, he suddenly wanted to smoke, but unfortunately he couldn't take off the mask.
"Sword Master, the situation is not right, I just confirmed that the sniper arranged by An Yujin is on the fifteenth floor of the hotel, not the little singer named Mu Yanyu, but the ace sniper secretly seconded by Mianlin City, after monitoring and comparison, she should have replaced Mu Yanyu as early as a week ago and was on standby in the hotel. β
On the phone, accompanied by Suzaku's voice, the sound of keyboard tapping kept coming. Ji Luo unconsciously banged on the wall, thinking about some important node. Outside the building, the sound of several gunshots bursting sounded, and after a while, more than a dozen drones dragged the damaged cargo box and flew to the floor where Ji Luo was......
"Suzaku, a week ago, we didn't have any plans to rob the Huatang Chamber of Commerce, that is to say, An Yujin's action was not aimed at us. β
"Suppose, the eleventh bureau got some news earlier, was doing a bureau, intending to catch 'someone'. Haven't we become scapegoats when we accidentally break in today?"
"Or ...... Our plan was also induced by 'someone'. In the eleventh game, it has always been pretended to be a conspiracy by others, and like us, it has become a pawn in someone else's plan. β
Ji Luo didn't want to think so stupidly and think of the enemy so terrifyingly, but in the current situation, he couldn't help but think about the worst.
"Do you have any clues?"
Suzaku had obviously considered this possibility, but he didn't want to believe itβbeing used without knowing anything about it, this kind of crushing of his IQ, no one wanted to admit it.
"It's very simple, another group of robbers from the Huatang Chamber of Commerce did not appear, only we did it, succeeded, and were also targeted by the eleventh bureau~"
"What if we don't do it. β
"Will the person who can lay out such a big situation not be left behind?"
β......β
On the other end of the phone, Suzaku fell into complete silence, obviously her self-esteem had been hit by a huge blow, she had always been good at layout and guidance, but she didn't expect to be put on the table this time.
"The source of this plan is an executive from the transportation department of the Huatang Chamber of Commerce, I will check him out right now, and you can come back with Yuanjing. β
"Okay, please~"
Ji Luo hung up the phone in a relaxed tone, he got up from the ground and walked to the already broken cargo box, the aura on his body becoming more and more solemn.
When she was on the phone with Suzaku just now, Ji Luo didn't tell her something-if all this was really a conspiracy, then both the eleventh bureau and him had already been calculated.
If the eleventh bureau wants to capture 'someone', it is very easy to bring it in, but what about him?
He is the 'Infinite Sword Saint Yi' in the urban legend of Shanhai City, how can he be implicated in the game?
Unless...... The other party has enough information to deduce his purpose.
For example, Infinite Sword Saint Yi has always robbed all kinds of criminals, without exception, only two things: money and source crystal.
Is such a complicated collection and sorting of information really something that a single person, or an organization of three or two kittens, can do?
Let's take a look at the arrangements of the Huatang Chamber of Commerce for this escort, there are antique calligraphy and paintings that are valuable, jewels and stones that are convenient to sell, and Yuanjing will directly send tens of millions worth of dollars.
Coincidence? or ...... The truth.
Ji Luo had a feeling that if he guessed correctly, then there must be something wrong with this box of source crystals!
