Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 229: The Two-Faced Donghai Team
"Awaited."

Wen Lie walked out of the meeting room and waved to the torii gate not far away.

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Zhao Yingkong, Miao Ruoling and others were all guarding there.

Although the General Directorate only required Wen Lie to attend as an observer, the others had nowhere else to go, so they followed along.

Angehime and Mechanical Maru have already left, but Gojo Satoru is still here, and there are three more men and one woman, standing with Liu Qiang and others. Gojo Satoru is talking to these people.

"...I can only rely on you, lovely Misaki-chan. Use your invincible scanning technique to find Gon's body."

Gojo Satoru flirted with the twenty-something girl without any burden. Misaki's cheeks flushed, and she said with some embarrassment, "I scanned, and there's no sign of Mr. Getabu in either Kyoto or Tokyo. He's either not in those cities, or he's in a special space like the Hongxing Palace, isolated from the outside world."

Misaki answered very straightforwardly, and all that was missing was telling Gojo Satoru that the noose was hidden in Tagan's territory.

"A special space?... It's really troublesome. I can only ask Mechanical Maru first to see if there are any clues."

Gojo Satoru scratched his hair, messing up the white hair, and then rubbed Misaki's head.

"Thank you, Misaki-chan. Keep up the good work."

After praising Misaki, Gojo Satoru left in a hurry.

He has a heavy workload and must go and see if there is any clue about Jay as soon as possible, and then complete the several level 1 and special level tasks on hand.

As soon as Gojo Satoru left, Kishibe Yusuke skillfully bowed to Wen Lie.

"Kunijiwa, I'm Yusuke Kishibe, the captain of the Tokai team. Thank you for your guidance."

"Hey, are you here to pay for your life?"

Kobayashi Bunsho noticed that Wen Lie's eyes were as if he was looking at a dead person.

Indifferent and calm, there was no hostility or other emotions in her. Even her eyes were not focused on Yusuke Kishibe.

Sure enough, the Zhongzhou team never thought of letting the Donghai team go.

Kobayashi Bunzheng's mind sank.

Yusuke Kishibe was speechless, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He raised his trembling arms, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Can't you tell you're joking, fellow villager? Don't be so nervous."

The bald man bumped into Yusuke Kishibe, and he walked towards Wen Lie eagerly, laughing heartily.

"What a fate, fellow countryman! I thought I'd never see my compatriots again after entering the East China Sea team's main divine space. I didn't expect to see the reincarnation team composed of my family members so soon. It really brings tears to my eyes, my family."

Wen Lie glanced at the bald man indifferently. The bald man's smile froze on his face. He felt as if his body was frozen, and his legs that were stretched forward could not move.

At this time, Kobayashi Bunsho spoke up, "According to the unspoken rules of group battles, when two teams meet, if the tasks assigned by the Lord God don't conflict, then in order to better survive, the two teams should exchange their respective information, including experiences and knowledge gained from surviving certain horror films. To show Team Donghai's sincerity, we will unconditionally hand over any valuable information."

Chu Xuan's eyes seemed to light up.

"Is it about the creation of legendary magic items, or the combination of magic runes?"

"Perhaps due to differences in national conditions, the horror films our Tokai team has experienced are mostly anime, including the world of Naruto. We spent a large sum of money to obtain the methods for making detonating talismans, sealing talismans, and suppression talismans, as well as over twenty kinds of ninjutsu. This lady also seems to have strengthened her chakra system. We are willing to pass on all this knowledge to your team as a token of our sincerity in forming an alliance."

Kobayashi Bunsho glanced at Zhao Yingkong.

Because of the Raikiri that Zhao Yingkong used, everyone in the East China Sea team thought that Zhao Yingkong had also strengthened his ninjutsu.

Kishibe Yusuke wiped the sweat off his face, pushed up his glasses, and said humbly, "The total value of this knowledge is no less than an S-rank side story. I hope your team will accept it."

The members of the Zhongzhou team looked at each other, and most of them were tempted.

Ninjutsu aside, even if outsiders didn't know, how could they not know? What Zhao Yingkong strengthened was not the chakra system at all. Miao Ruoling had had this intention before, but still did not strengthen it.

However, the value of detonating talismans, sealing talismans, and suppression talismans cannot be ignored.

The detonating talisman is fine, the sealing talisman can seal the body and soul, and the suppression talisman can suppress energy. The runes currently mastered by the Zhongzhou team do not have similar powers.

"Chu Xuan, talk to them."

Wen Lie believes that Chu Xuan can maximize the interests of the Zhongzhou team.

In the vacant classroom of Jujutsu High School, Chu Xuan, Qi Tengyi, Kishibe Yusuke, and Kobayashi Bunsho avoided others and conducted private negotiations here.

Kobayashi Bunsho simply handed over the rune combinations and manufacturing methods of the detonating talisman, sealing talisman, and suppression talisman. They were three scrolls that looked original.

Qi Teng checked it over and through the ability of the inscription master, he could confirm the logic of the rune combination.

"Now we can only hand over the knowledge of the talisman. We will hand over the knowledge of more than 20 kinds of ninjutsu to the Zhongzhou team when we are about to return to the main divine space."

Putting away the three scrolls, Chu Xuan said indifferently: "It's not enough. These alone cannot make up for the losses of the Zhongzhou team."

Kobayashi Bunsho asked, "What other requests does the Zhongzhou team have? We will do our best to meet them."

Chu Xuan raised three fingers: "Three points, the East China team must let the Zhongzhou team kill three members."

Kishibe Yusuke refused without hesitation: "Impossible! ...I won't abandon my teammates."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Then prepare for war. Although it may be a bit troublesome, killing you all is in the best interests of the Zhongzhou team."

Kishibe Yusuke suddenly softened: "We can still talk, we can still talk. Three points are too many."

Chu Xuan said nothing and looked at Kishibe Yusuke indifferently.

Kobayashi Bunsho tentatively said, "If the Zhongzhou team is willing to hand over one member, the Donghai team can exchange three members."

Exchanging members is one of the unspoken rules of team battles.

When the power gap is not too big, exchanging new members with each other will not affect the interests of those in power, even if the weaker party hands over more members.

Chu Xuan said coldly, "You have no right to bargain. Three points, not a single one less, or else we'll have to fight. Don't expect Gojo Satoru and the others to protect you forever." Kobayashi Bunsho calmly asked, "If that's the case, how can we expect you to let the East Sea team go?"

Chu Xuan said, "It's very simple. More than twenty kinds of ninjutsu are of great value. They are enough for a small team to train several excellent ninjas with cheap side stories. Although the benefits belong to others, if you satisfy our interests, this little thing will be harmless."

The ninjutsu belongs to others, but the side plots are your own.

Yusuke Kishibe and Bunsho Kobayashi could understand what Chu Xuan meant. In the real world, they did the same when they were in politics.

Chu Xuan continued, "As for the reward points deducted by the Lord God, you can kill more cursed spirits. Although it is impossible to completely make up for the losses, it is better than being killed by the Zhongzhou team. Make a decision quickly!"

Kishibe Yusuke remained silent, so Kobayashi Fumimasa spoke on his behalf, "Liu Qiang, Mikami Tetsu, and Murakami Ryuji, how about we leave the lives of these three people to Team Nakasu?"

Chu Xuan asked noncommittally, "What are their enhanced attributes? And the degree to which their gene locks are activated?"

Kobayashi Bunsho said without hesitation, "Liu Qiang has activated the second-level gene lock, and her enhanced attributes are A-level fire wielders, which are restrained by the Fire Seal of the Second Yu. Mikami Che has activated the first-level gene lock, and her enhanced attributes are B-level cursed energy and construction techniques. She can produce one D-level micro-aggregate Gauss bullet every day, but her close combat ability is very poor. Murakami Ryuji has not activated the gene lock, and her enhanced attributes are B-level chakra and explosive escape techniques, which are restrained by lightning attributes."

Kobayashi Bunsho informed Chu Xuan of all three people's enhanced attributes and weaknesses.

Chu Xuan wrote down the information and left with Qi Tengyi.

The empty classroom was left with only Kishibe Yusuke and Kobayashi Bunsho. When Chu Xuan's footsteps disappeared, Kishibe Yusuke complained to Kobayashi Bunsho, "Why did you agree to him? How many people do we have to kill to make up for the loss of 6000 reward points? Even if the two of us won't be wiped out by the Lord God, can others earn that much? If Mitsumasa and Misaki die, our loss will be huge. If the West Sea Team and Nozomi also kill our people, it will be even more dangerous."

Kobayashi Bunzheng's breathing became heavier, but he quickly controlled it.

Before he entered the main god space, he knew that the person next to him was only tough on the surface, of course, under the name of steady style.

However, it is really unpleasant to have the responsibility shifted to myself.

Xiao Lin Wenzheng rubbed his forehead and said coldly: "I don't intend to hand over the three of them. They can die, but they can't die in a team battle."

Kishibe Yusuke was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Did you deceive Team Nakasu?"

Kobayashi Bunsho said coldly, "The Zhongzhou team is too strong and too arrogant. We've already surrendered to them, but they're still pressing us. If we really do what the Zhongzhou team says, the losses and risks will be too great."

Kishibe Yusuke lowered his voice: "What are your plans?"

Kobayashi Bunzheng whispered, "The West Sea team contacted me."

Kishibe Yusuke asked in surprise, "Are you planning to cooperate with Team Xihai?"

Kobayashi Bunsho nodded gently. "It has always been the weak who form alliances to fight against the strong. If the weak and the strong form an alliance, they will only be completely eaten up by the strong."

Kishibe Yusuke asked, "But even if we cooperate with Team Saikai, we won't necessarily be able to defeat Team Nakasu, right? Wen Lie alone is larger than Team Saikai, and even with us included, we still can't defeat the entire Nakasu team. What's more, if we cooperate with Team Saikai, Gojo Satoru will also regard us as enemies."

Kobayashi Fumimasa confidently said, "Don't worry about that. We don't need to resort to direct force. To defeat the strong with the weak, we naturally need strategy. We have the trust of Team Zhongzhou and Gojo Satoru. The senior management of the General Affairs Department and Nozomi are leveraging each other. Leveraging these relationships, I, along with Yulian from Team Xihai, have set up a sure-kill strategy."

Kishibe Yusuke asked in surprise: "Is this true?"

Kobayashi Bunsho said confidently, "If the West Sea team were to take on the Central Continent team alone, their success rate would only be 50%. However, with the assistance of our East Sea team, the success rate would increase to 80%. It's worth the gamble."

Yusuke Kishibe hesitated.

Fighting with Team Zhongzhou is too risky. In comparison, it is safer to exchange peace for three members who are at odds with him.

Kobayashi Bunsho said softly, "The Zhongzhou team has 16 members, and we'll split it - with the Xihai team. That's eight points, eight side plots. Kishibe-san, do you really want to give up such a huge benefit?"

Kishibe Yusuke's eyes grew fiery, and he clenched his fists and said menacingly, "Alright! Kill those Chinese!"

Kobayashi Bunsho gave a cold smile: "And there's Gojo Satoru. With his six eyes, my strength will be even greater."

In the presidential suite on the top floor of a hotel in Kyoto, Chu Xuan told the entire agreement he had reached with the East China Sea team.

Zheng Zha complained, "Attributes and weaknesses? That's way too detailed. Are they trying to eliminate dissidents?"

The Overlord slammed his fist on the table, smashing it into pieces. His burly body exuded a strong sense of anger.

"Those who betray their companions will die miserably!"

What Overlord hated most was betrayal. He shouted angrily, "Chu Xuan, you're not really going to let the East China Sea team go according to the agreement, are you? Anyway, regardless of whether the captain agrees or not, I'll be the first to disagree!"

Wen Lie snapped his fingers, and a gas bullet hit Overlord's head, knocking him to the ground.

"You think I'd let them go for this little bit of profit? Don't underestimate me. If you want to buy my life, you have to bring the Sealing Scroll and the Six Paths Ninja Tools."

Overlord rubbed his swollen forehead and climbed up. He didn't care about the pain on his forehead and said cheerfully: "Captain doesn't agree either? That's great! If you ask me, no matter what the East China Sea team can come up with, as long as we kill them all, even they will be ours!"

Zheng Zha smiled bitterly and said, "That's so easy for you to say. It's hard for me to kill these people, women, and fellow villagers, who are not hostile to me."

Overlord scratched his head. He felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Zheng Zha said.

Cheng Xiao and Wang Xia also looked embarrassed.

They wanted to kill the devils, but they never thought of becoming devils themselves.

Wen Lie didn't care about Zheng Zha's mood. He looked at Chu Xuan and asked curiously, "What do you think? I don't think you would accept this condition."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "I plan to create a branch of the Zhongzhou team."

"Zhongzhou team detachment?"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Chu Xuan was talking about.

Only Xiao Honglu and Wen Lie understood Chu Xuan's plan.

Wen Lie smiled and said, "I see. Is that what you're thinking? One more team means twice as many horror movies, and a chance to get more rune combinations. I bet you came up with this idea because you knew the East Sea team had gained knowledge of spells from the Naruto world."

Chu Xuan nodded calmly.

Xiao Honglu blew his hair between his fingertips and sneered, "Really? If the East China Sea team doesn't intend to betray their companions, how can Chu Xuan's plan unfold?"
