In Situ Shibai's office, Situ Shibai lightly tapped the office with his finger, and the entire office suddenly turned black and white.
[Image Space: Permanently creates a special virtual space. The maximum range increases according to the improvement of mental power. It can activate the image of others and form a controllable shadow person. The shadow person can only move in the image space. 】
"team leader!"
A shadowy figure, Chen Ming, appeared in front of Situ Shibai.
Situ Shibai looked down at the map and asked, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the investigation team?"
"Captain, according to my investigation, nineteen teams from the twenty-two Tiangan and Earthly Branches teams of the investigation team have left Pearl City one after another since April. Team Shen, Team Xu, and Team Hai are still in the city. Currently, there are no
Abnormal." Shadow Chen Ming replied.
Situ Shibai said with a meaningful smile: "The absence of anomalies is the biggest anomaly. I remember the captain of Team Shen is Xu Zheng. His ability is the scythe of death. Whenever someone dies in the entire Pearl City, his scythe will absorb the death on its own.
This concept, so many people have died in Pearl City during this period, will he be indifferent?
There is also Team Xu. Wang Huashi is extremely shrewd. Even some adventurers can detect things, but he is not aware of them at all. Do you think it is reasonable?
On the contrary, the captain of Team Hai, Su Su, stayed in Pearl City because he was seriously injured and was hospitalized. Chen Ming, please go and investigate the severity of Su Su's injuries and the records of the last mission to see if there are any doubts."
The investigation team is not responsible for the security of Pearl City.
Their mission is to collect information and data on alienated beasts and savages, especially when they discover unknown alienated beasts. They need to investigate the abilities and level limits of alienated beasts.
As an unknown alienated beast, the Tianchang Fox appeared in Pearl City without a trace. If Zhang Ping hadn't revealed the matter, it would have taken at least one to two months for the clean-up team to figure out the situation. By then, Daylily would be gone.
It's cold.
Therefore, both the investigation team and the patrol team have unshirkable responsibility for the Tianchanghu invasion.
The problem is that the patrol team has been wiped out, so the surviving investigation team seems very suspicious, especially the three teams that stayed in the city. Why did they survive, and why were they unaware of it?
After the first meeting between Zhang Ping and Liu Sishan, Situ Shibai ordered Shadow Chen Ming to investigate these three teams. Now it seems that there must be something wrong with these three teams.
After Shadow Chen Ming took the order and left, Situ Shibai looked at the map, his eyes gradually deepening.
This incident does not feel like an animal disaster, but rather a man-made disaster.
His intuition is stronger than Chen Ming. He knows very well that Pearl City is not that easy to invade. Let alone the investigation team operating on the periphery, it is a line of defense against unknown alien beasts. The patrol team alone is not that easy to penetrate. It must be
Someone is helping.
"Could they be remnants of the Zhu family?"
Situ Shibai suddenly thought of what happened two hundred years ago, and then looked out the window.
"Now that Sisi is back, I should leave for the city to see the young man she said has unlimited potential."
The other person was sitting on the chair, but his body suddenly split into two bodies. One body was still sitting behind the desk, and the other body got up and walked out.
[Split Flesh Clone: The body can be divided into multiple parts, and each body will share the physical attributes equally. The more divisions there are, the weaker the average strength will be. 】
When one of them opened the door, what was outside was not the interior of the sweep team, but the streets of Pearl City.
[Shortcut Door: Consume mental and physical energy to quickly reach the destination by opening the door. The longest distance does not exceed one hundred kilometers]
…
At dawn, Zhang Ping and Liu Sishan set off back to Pearl City.
During the two days they left, without the interference of the Moon King, the clean-up team was able to comprehensively monitor the situation in the entire Pearl City. In addition to being unable to stop the Moon Prince from hunting, all the alienated beasts approaching the Pearl City were eliminated one by one.
Now Liu Sishan needs to temporarily take over Jin Bo's responsibilities.
If other alienated beasts invade Pearl City, she will need to lead a team to guard the safety of Pearl City, so Zhang Ping is free.
Farewell to Liu Sishan, Zhang Ping returned to Iron Soul. Qiu Qiang had not been on a mission these two days and happened to be taking care of Liu Tiefeng in the store. When he saw Zhang Ping coming in, he smiled and said: "Why are you back early? I didn't mean to train for five days."
God?"
Zhang Ping knew that the reason why Wang Jieming asked for leave for him was that the Beast King Boxing Gym arranged special training and needed to be closed for several days.
He smiled and replied: "I learn things quickly, so I ended the special training early."
With that said, he prepared to go upstairs to put his luggage.
But as soon as he took a step, he noticed something was wrong. He looked at Qiu Qiang and Liu Tiefeng and found that both of them were still.
He turned around suddenly and saw an old man with white beard and hair but without many wrinkles on his face, standing outside the store door with his hands behind his back and a smile, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through him at a glance.
[Relatively static space and time: Pull the target into a special space. This space anchors the current time of the expanded space. When the space is released, the creatures in the space will return to the anchored time point. 】
"Who are you?" Zhang Ping put down his luggage and asked cautiously.
Situ Shibai laughed and teased: "Don't you have identification skills? You'll know after you identify it."
[Authentication failed]
[Authentication failed*6]
[Authentication failed*66]
[Authentication failed*666]
Zhang Ping remained silent. The old man in front of him was more difficult to identify than the Solitary Testicle Orb, but in fact, he already knew the old man's identity.
The other party's voice, which he had heard before through the Wind Whisperer, was none other than Situ Shibai, the captain of the cleaning team!
"Hahahahaha."
Situ Shibai suddenly came in laughing, and Zhang Ping used appraisal techniques on him. He knew every appraisal, and because of this, he found it interesting and funny.
Most awakened people who have the appraisal skill think that the appraisal is traceless, but in his eyes this is not the case.
In his opinion, Zhang Ping's eyes constantly emitted rays to scan his whole body, but this invisible ray was blocked by his body. Therefore, no matter how Zhang Ping identified it, it was impossible to get a result.
[Information sealing energy film: It can create an energy film that is invisible to the naked eye. Any substance covered by the energy film cannot be identified or seen through. 】
"Stop identifying. I have the ability to block identification. Even if you identify ten thousand times or one million times, you still won't get any results." Situ Shibai walked up to Zhang Ping and said with a smile.
Then he passed Zhang Ping and walked upstairs. Zhang Ping was silent for a moment and quickly followed.
The two went up to the second floor and sat on chairs in the living room.
"I wonder what I should call you?"
Zhang Ping poured tea for Situ Shibai and then asked carefully.
Situ Shibai, who was opposite, stopped as soon as his hand touched the teacup and asked: "You're just being naughty, your name is meant to be called by others. You can call it whatever you want. Do you really not know my name?"
This question is obviously a test.
Zhang Ping was testing whether he knew the secret of "Zhang Ping used the ability of wind whisperer to learn the secrets of the cleanup team".
However, he was not interested in playing charades with Zhang Ping, so he pointed out the matter directly.
But the very fact of saying it means that he will not ignore it.
"Mr. Situ, why are you here this time..."
Seeing that his little thoughts were seen through, Zhang Ping also understood what Situ Shibai meant, so he was very cautious and asked respectfully.
Although Liu Sishan had softened his attitude towards him in the past two days and got closer to him, he had not completely let down his guard.
It stands to reason that the cleaning team should not completely believe him yet.
Apart from the matter of 'Windspeaker's Quest', he really couldn't think of any other reason.
Therefore, he really couldn't understand the purpose of Situ Shibai meeting him in this form at this time.
"Zhang Ping, before you block other people's mind-reading abilities, it's best not to think too much." Situ Shibai drank tea and smiled lightly.
[Mind Reading: Reading the other person’s thoughts through eye contact.]
Zhang Ping immediately ordered himself to calm down, and at the same time ordered himself not to think wildly, and to clear all distracting thoughts instantly.
"Did you know that there has been no infinite ability in Pearl City for more than two hundred years since me? I even investigated whether someone was causing trouble, but it seems that my luck has really run out."
Situ Shibai didn't pay attention to Zhang Ping's change. After putting down the tea cup, he said slowly.
[Luck-raising seeds: Seeds that can produce luck. If placed in a city, it will form city luck. If placed in a force, it will form force luck. If placed in an individual, it will form personal luck. You can know its rise and fall by observing luck. 】
"Fortunately, after so many years, a person with unlimited abilities has finally emerged. Do you think I can come and have a look?" Situ Shibai looked at Zhang Ping and smiled.
But because of the order just now, he remained expressionless and unperturbed. He just picked up the teapot and refilled Situ Shibai's cup to express his welcome.
Situ Shibai tapped his fingers beside the tea cup a few times to express that he was enough, and then said: "And there is one thing I am very curious about, and that is whether my ability can replicate infinite abilities."
Because he was the only infinite-level ability user in the past, the abilities he copied were all below the Protectorate level, and none of them were infinite-level.
He didn't know if he could copy the infinite level.
This requires Zhang Ping to cooperate with the experiment.
"Of course, my experiment will not be in vain. No matter what the result is, I will give you two thank you gifts and answer all your questions." He looked at Zhang Ping, paused and continued.
Zhang Ping had doubts and asked: "Mr. Situ, will your copying have any adverse effects on me?"
"Hahahaha, no, my copy will not harm the other party, you can rest assured of this." Situ Shibai said with a smile.
Zhang Ping asked calmly and cautiously: "Then can I refuse?"
"Of course, but you might as well take a look at my chips first." Situ Shibai nodded and continued.
He stretched out his hand, and a black hole suddenly appeared on his right. He took out an exaggerated long-handled sickle from the black hole, and then took out a golden bracelet.
After he put the two things on the table, he introduced: "This scythe is called the Fear Scythe. It can induce fear in other creatures and has the ability to evolve itself by sucking blood. I used it to kill millions of aliens in my early years.
The beast has absorbed the blood of countless alienated beasts. Its hardness and sharpness are currently rare in the world. It is no exaggeration to say it is a divine weapon."
"This bracelet is called the Golden Treasure House. It is also a commonly used equipment in my early years. It is connected to a 450 cubic meter storage space. You should understand what this means."
After finishing speaking, Situ Shibai drank while waiting for Zhang Ping's answer.
Zhang Ping looked at the sickle and bracelet on the table. He would definitely be lying if he said he was not moved.
Especially the Dread Scythe, if paired with the Dark Mist, his strength will definitely increase by a level.
"If you really can't make up your mind, you might as well give it a try." Situ Shibai said funnyly when he saw Zhang Ping's heartbeat but was holding it back.
Zhang Ping's eyes suddenly shone and he activated the appraisal.
After several failed identifications, he successfully identified the attributes of the two pieces of equipment.
[Dread Scythe: This weapon can be bound to the user. Except for the user, all living beings within three meters will be affected by the Dread Scythe and feel fear. At the same time, the Dread Scythe can absorb blood and continue to evolve. The more evolutions it takes, the more the Dread Scythe will evolve.
The more blood it requires, the current number of evolutions is: 159.]
[Gold Treasure Bracelet: After wearing, it can open a 450 cubic meter storage space. 】
While making the appraisal, a picture appeared in front of Zhang Ping's eyes. A burly blacksmith forged the Dread Scythe and threw dozens of people into the iron slurry. There were screams and even black gas gushes out of the iron slurry.
, forming a scene of skeletons shouting in mid-air.
Then the scene changed, showing a handsome young man wearing a windbreaker, holding a huge scythe and killing alien beasts. Not far from these alien beasts, men and women with blurred faces seemed to be extremely frightened.
As for the picture displayed in the gold treasure house, it was even more terrifying. A woman was tied up, and then gold was cast on her body. Several awakened people stood around the woman and activated their abilities at the same time. Gradually, the woman's body burned with flames, and even the gold was burned.
Burn into smoke.
After the large amount of smoke dissipated, only this bracelet remained.
The screen ends.
Zhang Ping looked unhappy after reading this.
The Assassination Ring, the Dread Scythe, and the Gold Treasure Bracelet, these three special pieces of equipment were all exchanged for human lives.
