Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 178 The Masked Organization Gathers, Arrangements Made by All Parties

"Hey! Sister Leng, did you see that? He actually saw us! There are at least two streets between us, right?"

"That's outrageous!"

In a dark room.

Xiao Yan, dressed entirely in red with his hair dyed red, adjusted his mask and began talking to Ning Bing, who was also covering her face.

"yes…"

At this moment, the two people who had already hidden behind the wall were both somewhat moved.

"...I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for the boss to have to go against this kind of person..."

I secretly observed and found that the figure had already gone far away.

Ning Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried and uneasy again.

However, Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, didn't care at all. He stood up and casually leaned over.

"We're not going to fight him! Besides, I'm pretty strong too!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Bing smiled.

He concealed the worry and anxiety on his face.

Looking at the mischievous red-haired boy in front of him, he flicked the boy's forehead with his finger.

"Clap~"

"Ouch! Sister Leng! Why did you flick me again?"

Seeing Xiao Yan covering his forehead and turning away, Ning Bing also withdrew her hand.

He deliberately put on a stern face and lectured in a serious tone.

"You can't even dodge me, and you're still showing off?"

"No unauthorized actions are allowed tonight. This mission is different from the past; it's very dangerous. Don't act rashly, understand?"

His words were full of admonition, making him seem a bit nagging.

But this is also how the two of them get along.

Unlike Xiao Yan, who doesn't care about anything.

After arranging this operation, Ning Bing worked hard to collect all kinds of intelligence, even just rumors.

She knew she wasn't very strong.

Being grouped with her would actually be a hindrance, which would inevitably make the already dangerous mission even more perilous.

Therefore, they put a lot of effort into intelligence gathering and terrain exploration.

Therefore, we have gained a detailed understanding of the situation of the Tomb of a Hundred Kings.

But this also made her increasingly worried about her upcoming tasks.

Since the two of them were defending the same direction, and with him being a burden, the team was already considered weaker than the others.

Furthermore, based on her understanding of Xiao Yan's personality, she knew that if a battle broke out, he would definitely be distracted and focused on her side.

Faced with a crisis that even the Special Operations Bureau couldn't handle, what could they possibly use to resist?

If a mistake is made, the injury will be the least of your worries.

So they hardened their hearts and prepared to nip any potential dangers in the bud before the mission even began.

Thinking of this, and seeing the boy opposite him pleading for mercy.

Ning Bing's softened tone turned stern once again.

"Xiao Yan, I'm really not joking. This mission is extremely dangerous."

"As long as we cooperate with the Yue family's people to hold out for an hour, we'll all be fine. Please don't act on your own, okay?"

in front of him.

Xiao Yan, who had been looking down with an air of indifference, noticed the difference in the other person's tone and looked up.

Although her face was covered by a mask and her expression was not visible, the worry and concern in her eyes were genuinely conveyed.

This warmed Xiao Yan's heart, and he quickly put away his casual expression, looking at Xiao Yan seriously.

"Sister Leng, don't worry! I'll follow your instructions this time and won't run away, I promise!"

Hearing these words, Ning Bing felt a little more at ease.

She knew that as long as the other party made such a promise to her, they wouldn't break their word.

Immediately, a smile returned to the thin lips beneath the mask.

He simply raised his hand and ruffled the boy's fluffy red hair.

"Well, let's go then."

"Time is almost up. I need to get to my assigned defensive position. I remember the boss said in a message that he had something to tell me."

Before Xiao Yan could react, she strode out of the room with her long, slender legs.

"...Hey? Hey! Sister Leng, wait for me!"

Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan shouted and hurriedly chased after them.

The two left the room one after the other.

He picked up the black robe that covered his body from the side, put it on, and left the room where he was temporarily staying.

Soon.

Amidst a faint sound of a car starting up.

A black sedan with its lights off emerged from the shadows below, turned onto a side road, and drove off into the distance.

It took nearly half an hour to drive there, because I deliberately slowed down and took deserted side roads, which made me waste a lot of time.

Finally, the vehicle turned off all its lights, seemingly blending into the night.

It drove silently and slowly into a dark, abandoned factory.

Wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

The two got out of the car and looked around.

By the moonlight, one could roughly see that most of what came into view were abandoned equipment and piles of miscellaneous items.

Only not far away, there was a gray building with straight edges and right angles.

Clearly, there is only one possible person.

The two stepped over the clutter and came closer.

Dressed in red, Xiao Yan took the lead and arrived at a large, tightly closed iron gate on the front of the building.

Seeing that there was no lock, he pushed it open.

"crunch~"

The old, rusty door hinges turned.

Instantly, a large cloud of long-accumulated dust rushed towards him, covering his head and face.

"Cough cough! What the hell?! Didn't the people who arrived first know to clean up first?!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly ran away and retreated to Ning Bing's side, coughing and patting the dust off his hair and clothes.

Ning Bing, who was standing nearby, felt somewhat helpless but still quickly reached out to help tidy up.

He even took the time to raise his hand and make a series of complicated gestures.

In a corner unnoticed by the two, a dusty camera suddenly lit up with a red light.

It then automatically adjusted its angle, shining in the direction where the two people were standing, as if trying to identify something.

One minute later.

A series of deliberately low, unusually dense footsteps echoed from all around the factory.

Then, figures draped in black robes and wearing white masks quickly and silently gathered in the direction of the two.

Soon, the area around the door was covered with layers of black.

The crowd then parted automatically, and a tall, burly man wearing a painted face mask stepped out.

He raised his arms, which were covered by wrist guards, and clasped them together in a fist salute, facing the two of them.

"Young Master Xiao! Miss Ning! I am Yue Jia, and I greet you both! I have brought a total of 215 members of the Yue family, and all of us are present!"

He shouted this sentence with a powerful and resonant voice.

She looked up slightly and saw Xiao Yan, who was covered in dust and looking disheveled, brushing the dust off his bright red suit with a displeased expression.

Only then did he bow again, his tone unchanged.

"I apologize, Young Master Xiao. For the sake of secrecy, we always use secret passages to enter and exit, trying our best not to leave any traces. It was not a deliberate oversight, please forgive us."

Hearing this stiff apology, Xiao Yan just pursed his lips but didn't pursue the matter further.

He had some contact with the assassins trained by the Yue family.

Knowing that these people are all inflexible, expecting them to be flexible is harder than killing them.

He simply waved his hand and stopped caring.

"Alright, take us to the conference room. The boss is waiting for me!"

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the dusty factory.

Led by a black-robed guard, they twisted and turned through a hidden door.

Finally, the two arrived at a room that had clearly been recently cleaned.

The space was small, with few items, just a table and a row of chairs, and a computer placed on it.

After Xiao Yan and Ning Bing took their seats, the black-robed man who had been standing silently to the side pressed the switch.

The screen on the table lit up with a flicker, showing Yue Feng, who was also sitting behind a long table.

At this moment, the other party was also wearing a vermilion mask, but judging from its color and pattern, it looked like an old object.

As the video call connected, the two greeted each other.

Yue Feng in the video nodded in acknowledgment, but did not speak.

For a moment, both sides remained silent.

While waiting, the video frames at the top of the screen, which were initially dark, began to light up one by one.

Several figures, also wearing masks, appeared.

First came Xuanwu, a burly man with bronze skin, wearing a sleeveless short-sleeved shirt and an earth-yellow mask.

With an old man dressed in an elegant black outfit and wearing a silver mask, Baihu.

Finally, there's the fox tail with pink hair styled in twin ponytails, swaying restlessly from side to side in the picture.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yue Feng, who had been sitting upright, also bent his fingers and gently tapped the table.

After everyone looked at him, he spoke slowly.

"I presume everyone has arrived at their designated locations, so I won't go into further details."

"The Tomb of One Hundred Kings is located in the former Lijiang Development Zone, adjacent to the natural barrier of Lijiang, and has six roads leading to the south of the city."

"Three of the roads are narrow, and I have already made arrangements to block them using the terrain, so there is no need to worry about them."

"But the key points are the other three."

As he spoke, Yue Feng, who was sitting behind the table, waved his hand, and a map appeared in the center of the screen that everyone was looking at.

As you can see, an area circled in red extends outwards, marked with six roads of varying sizes and directions.

In between, there are dense buildings blocking the view.

Three roads located in residential and commercial areas were marked.

The other three are clearly the areas that everyone is mainly responsible for.

As the map is zoomed in, the three locations gradually become clearer.

Each is an open park green space, with a longitudinal opening of more than 500 meters, and the entire length is only enclosed by a thin iron fence.

The second location is on a wide pedestrian street, with low-rise shops on both sides, offering a wide view.

The last place was a factory park marked with the name of a certain stone cutting quarry.

The standard has been abandoned, and it occupies a small area, with an overall long and narrow shape.

Facing Lijiang, there are also several hundred meters of buildings beyond that, all connected by dense office buildings on both sides.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Clearly, the last spot was where he was.

I just took a quick look outside, and there aren't any tall buildings within a hundred meters.

Only the factory warehouse and office area where I was located was a three-story building; the rest were rusty metal sheds and open spaces.

If they have to run back and forth to defend, they might not be able to react in time.

It was precisely when his thoughts were wandering that he realized this.

On the other side, after Yue Feng released the map, he remained silent for a moment, waiting for everyone to digest it, before speaking again.

"I'm sure everyone knows the road they need to guard. Let me go into more detail about the personnel configuration."

"The largest and most difficult-to-defend park green space is guarded by the Black Tortoise, which is best at positional defense, and the White Tiger, which is good at close combat."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise.

"I will mobilize a team of three hundred men to assist, and I will also allocate a number of vehicles to build a defensive line. All you need to do is hold them off until I return to provide reinforcements. Any objections?"

At the end of his speech, he asked a question.

The two people who were called on nodded in response without hesitation.

"no problem."

"I have no objection either."

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng on the screen nodded slightly.

Then, I turned my gaze to the fox tail, which was doing something at the moment, with most of its face close to the screen and swaying back and forth.

The people present were all aware of each other's situation, and since Shennao was different, they naturally didn't say anything.

Yue Feng, as the leader of the organization, also chose to ignore it and directly made arrangements.

"Fox Tail, you, along with Yi, Bing, and Ding, will lead a team of one hundred men to garrison the pedestrian street intersection. I will also allocate vehicles to assist you in building the defense line."

"The pedestrian street has a narrow opening and is long and narrow, making it relatively easy to defend. Would it make sense for you to defend it?"

After a long pause, all that could be seen on the screen was pink hair swaying back and forth, as if it hadn't heard a thing.

After a while, with a reminder from someone nearby, he adjusted his sitting posture, put his face in the camera's field of vision, and nodded.

"Ok, no problem!"

A crisp sound rang out, but no one bothered to investigate whether they had actually been listening.

Yue Feng nodded again to confirm.

It's not that he's favoring or indulging his subordinates; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this young girl lacks humanity.

It was an unexpected meeting, and it took a long time and various mentors to educate him before he became like a normal person.

Although it seems unreliable, Fox Tail's fighting strength is among the best in the organization.

He has a rather unconventional and illogical personality, but he arranges for three loyal followers from his clan to assist him, so he doesn't need to make any decisions.

There shouldn't be any problems.

Let's move past this topic.

Finally, Yue Feng, wearing the mask of General Qi Mu, turned his gaze to the last group.

That is, the direction Xiao Yan and Ning Bing are heading.

Before he could even speak, Xiao Yan, wearing a gold and red mask, shouted out loudly.

"No problem! Don't worry about me, boss!"

This flamboyant attitude made Yue Feng frown slightly, but he didn't show anything and continued to give instructions as usual.

“Very good, it’s good to be confident. You and Ning Bing will be assigned to defend the area, but the factory area is located in an open area with a complex structure, so the defense will not be easy.”

"You should have seen the 200-man team and Yue Jia that I sent to you."

“They are all equipped with long-range firepower, and Yuejia is also a support alien that is very well suited to your attack methods.”

"Using the factory's only three-story building, we can suppress the enemy with fire from a high position and hold out for an hour without any problem."

After speaking, he glanced subtly at Ning Bing, who was sitting upright and wearing a blue and white mask.

Noticing his gaze, she turned to look at the boy beside her and nodded knowingly.

He replied seriously.

"Don't worry, boss, I will assist Xiao Yan in completing the garrison duties."

Upon hearing this answer, Yue Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, the message he had just sent, telling the other party to keep an eye on that brat and not let him cause any trouble, had been successfully conveyed.

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

With the last line of defense cleared, the brief meeting came to an end.

Since it is a covert operation, it is not convenient to make too much of a commotion, so online meetings like this are naturally to be held as quickly as possible.

Finally, take a look around and wait a moment.

Seeing that no one asked a question, Yue Feng spread his hands flat on the table and gave a summary.

"Since everyone has no objections, this conversation will now come to an end. I hope that when the sun rises tomorrow, everyone will be safely seated at the victory celebration banquet."

As he spoke, Yue Feng on the screen slowly stood up.

Upon witnessing this scene, the White Tiger and the Azure Dragon exchanged a glance and stood up together.

The others either volunteered or were prompted by others to complete the action together.

Then Yue Feng slowly raised his hands and clasped them together in a gesture of respect in front of him.

He faced the crowd with a very humble attitude.

"I am well aware of the dangers of this journey, but I have no choice but to go. Since you are all willing to let me get involved in this mess, I cannot be stingy..."

As he spoke, his voice rose.

"I promise again that after this trip, I will take out seven layers of the harvest and distribute them equally among everyone!"

"Since everyone is willing to lend me a hand, I will repay you tenfold. This is a promise that all of you will bear witness to. If I break this promise, may you all condemn me!"

"I, Yue, thank you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hands in front of him and bowed deeply.

This sudden move caught everyone off guard.

Xuanwu and Baihu, as the elders of the organization, were the first to react.

The same fist and palm salute.

"Master Yue, you flatter us! We have received your care and assistance for most of our lives, and now that you have a request, we will certainly help you with our lives!"

Xuanwu, with his bronze-colored, bulging muscles and sleeveless short-sleeved outfit, returned the salute with clasped hands, his tone resounding.

The old man with white hair and a white beard, dressed in an elegant black outfit, was much calmer than Baihu.

He just stroked his beard and spoke with a cheerful tone.

"Hehe~ I've always been quite interested in the zombies in the tomb. It would be great to have a chance to exchange blows with them."

As for Hu Wei, he simply disappeared without a trace right after the meeting was announced to be over.

In front of the camera, only Yue Yi, wearing a painted mask, remained, looking completely lost.

Ning Bing stood up and returned the greeting in a very formal manner.

Xiao Yan, who witnessed this scene, curled his lip in disapproval.

"There are so many old people out there, still doing all this old-fashioned stuff... Hey! Sister Leng, don't pull me! I'll get up, okay?"

Finally, after the fox tail was captured and Xiao Yan was pulled up to return the greeting, Yue Feng slowly straightened up.

They lingered on the screen for several seconds, focusing intently on each person's eyes and brows.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out two words from his throat.

"Meeting dismissed."

...

As the video call ended, the screen on the long table in front of us went dark again.

Yue Feng, who had already stood up, looked rather unwell.

Although everything had been arranged very carefully, he was also very clear about just how dangerous the Tomb of a Hundred Kings was.

It can be said that no matter how well planned, there will inevitably be casualties in this operation.

It's unknown how many of the people in the video actually survived the night.

no matter what.

At the moment when I rashly got involved in this dangerous situation.

With the power of a single family, facing two major threats—the Special Operations Bureau and the Tomb of a Hundred Kings—they did not meet a good end.

You could say he was gambling.

Those who win the gamble will prosper through extraordinary abilities, while those who lose will only decline sooner and be swallowed up.

Bringing these people along made him feel somewhat complicated.

Despite the pressure, they left the third young master of the Xiao family in the group to risk his life.

Isn't it also an attempt to drag the Xiao family down with them and shield themselves from some of the official pressure?

"I've lived a life of integrity and uprightness...sigh..."

The room was empty and pitch black. His sighs went unanswered, only punctuated by a heavy sigh at the end.

He stepped to the only window in the room, pulled back the heavy curtain, and looked out the window.

Not far away, just a few hundred meters away, was the chaotic and noisy sealed-off area of ​​the Hundred Kings Tomb.

He stood there for a long time, watching the flickering flames, his gaze gradually shifting from blank to resolute and determined.

And just then.

Suddenly, a blinding blue-white light appeared from the Hundred Kings Tomb defense zone.

For a moment, even Yue Feng's mask appeared pale in the light.

At that moment, a pair of pupils reflected a bulging, restless, and dazzling beam of light through the holes in the mask.

The sheer scale and power of the event, reaching from heaven to earth, left even him somewhat astonished.

But all of this only lasted for a moment.

The next moment, the distant banks of Lijiang were plunged back into darkness.

Even though it had vanished, Yue Feng still felt the lingering echo of that attack in his vision.

Recalling the lofty figure in a long robe holding a sword that had vaguely appeared on the ground amidst the towering peaks, he murmured to himself.

"...That really is true..."

"...What a wonderful year it is, with heroes emerging one after another..."

"...Spiritual energy is reviving...what a pity..."

"Why not have come ten years earlier..."
