High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 85 Psionic Research Institute: The Profound Meaning of the Key Target

"Zhao Yu from the analysis team."

"Zhao Yu!?"

Hearing the name, everyone was somewhat shocked, but also somewhat relieved, since they weren't particularly familiar with it.

Of those present, the only person they were familiar with was Bai Yu, who was the same age as them.

However, Bai Yu joined the group late and didn't have much time to get to know these people, so she didn't develop any real feelings for them.

However, those who are in the same group as Zhao Yu might not be able to accept him after spending a long time with him.

After listening, Li Yunbin said, "I will talk to Director Yang. He will definitely make good arrangements for this matter."

Unknown spies are dangerous!

Known spies are an opportunity!

"Then let me tell you the second piece of information, which is about tonight's auction."

"According to the intelligence we have gathered so far, the alien races seem to have joined forces and plan to assassinate several important targets on their way back after the auction."

"Of course, the enemy's methods may not be that simple. I don't know exactly what preparations the higher-ups have made."

"Is this the information you received from the divination?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu gave a wry smile.

Assassination?

Hehe~! Open assassination!

He didn't say it immediately, wanting to see how much the authorities knew.

"Captain, could you explain in more detail?"

"The main target I know of so far is Professor Kong Shen, the director of the Psionic Research Institute. He mainly studies the science of spirit gathering. In fact, this auction is quite related to him."

"As for the study of spirit gathering, it is one of the branches of the study of psychic energy."

"For example, those spiritual plants can quickly gather spiritual energy. Or, for example, how some ordinary minerals can become spiritual minerals through the gathering of spiritual energy. This theory is one of the most important theories in the extraordinary field."

"Professor Kong Shen is highly renowned in this field, and is two or three levels above Professor Wang Wen."

"Moreover, according to the information I have received, Professor Kong Shen has recently made a significant research breakthrough, which may be the reason why he has been targeted."

With just a few simple words, Bai Yu could understand the importance of this person.

"How does the government plan to protect it?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but he'll definitely be accompanied by at least a half-step Spirit Sea Realm expert."

The "half-step Spirit Sea Realm" refers to the stage where one is currently condensing their Spirit Sea. This process is quite lengthy, potentially taking six months to a year.

"Of course, I don't know the specifics. But I guess there's most likely someone at the Spirit Sea Realm secretly protecting them."

Bai Yu asked again, wanting to see if the captain had any more information.

But their rank is too low.

Even with the Li family's backing, Li Yunbin was unable to learn more about the inside story.

If we could learn the inside story, that would be truly extraordinary! It would be an audacity for the ancient martial arts world to interfere with the official channels.

However, based on the current information, the authorities should have made some preparations.

However, the authorities probably didn't expect that the enemy would be so well-prepared, planning a large-scale attack on the auction house!

The official arrangements were most likely made in anticipation of attacks along the way, or perhaps they were thinking even deeper, they just didn't know it.

"But based on the information we have, the number of monsters is most likely over a thousand!!"

"Moreover, the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar savage tribe among the main participating races might be a key factor."

"Regardless of whether the authorities have uncovered any inside information, I still have to pass the message on."

After Li Yunbin finished speaking, seeing that Bai Yu's expression was still unusually solemn, he couldn't help but ask, "What information did you divine?"

Upon hearing the question, Bai Yu took a deep breath, glanced around, and said in a grave tone, "This incident is definitely much more serious than we imagined."

"Vampires, fish-men, lizardmen, and savages, among other alien races, have united and are planning a large-scale attack at the auction site!"

"The number of alien creatures involved in the attack may have reached over a thousand, and there are definitely Spirit Sea Realm cultivators among them!"

"What?! Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't sit still and stood up.

The alien races have actually chosen to join forces, and there are thousands of alien creatures involved!

Although the last Battle of Cloud Lake did indeed involve more than two hundred merman monsters, which was a relatively large number.

But that was caused by the Dragon Pearl, a rare and precious treasure.

The merfolk's large-scale attack was expected. But in any case, it was only a unilateral action by the merfolk, and they didn't send many elite troops.

But this auction is attended by many important figures, with a large security detail and considerable strength.

The information they have gathered so far is at most that the alien race intends to take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack or assassination on the way.

But the alien race's direct objective was actually to launch a full-scale attack on the entire auction venue!?

If that's the case, then the situation is quite serious!

Such arrogant behavior was clearly far beyond everyone's expectations.

After a quick thought, Li Yunbin said, "This auction will be held at Mote Manor. That area is sparsely populated; there are only two residential buildings within a kilometer radius of the manor."

"How could thousands of alien creatures suddenly gather?"

Bai Yu: You're asking me? Who should I ask?

"It's precisely because we can't anticipate their actions that the alien races can catch us off guard!"

"But this attack is absolutely going to happen! There's a chance some of us in the team will die."

As he spoke, Bai Yu took a closer look at the team members he was familiar with.

Upon hearing this information, Li Yunbin clenched his fists, making a popping sound.

This news was quite a shock to him.

It even reached a point where it was difficult to handle.

Even talking to Director Yang might not work!

To deal with thousands of alien creatures, the necessary setup would be at least five times larger than it is now.

However, if the city's military strength is depleted and a major incident occurs, then they cannot take responsibility.

If you come up empty-handed, it will be even more difficult to handle the situation.

Thinking about all this, Li Yunbin slowly sat back down in his chair and said, "I need to think about how to talk to Director Yang."

"We hope Director Yang can give us a clear answer: should we go to the auction or not?"

"Um!"

"By the way, Captain, the attack launched by the other side wasn't aimed at wiping out the entire team; they have a few key targets on their list."

This clearly doesn't seem to be something obtained through divination.

But now that things have come to this, it's time to say it!

Otherwise, if I keep hiding it, and then the human race is halfway to its death, who will I talk to?

So I'm going to cry at a grave?

"Who?"

"Professor Kong Shen is one, as are senior executives of Yun'an Group such as Zhang Kunhe."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanqing, the daughter of the director of Yun'an Group, was somewhat puzzled.

"A senior executive at Yun'an Group?"

"Yes. Sister Wanqing, can you think of any important information?"

Qin Wanqing looked puzzled, thought for a moment, and said, "I know these people; they are all quite capable. But to be honest, even if they were killed by the alien race, the group's operations wouldn't collapse. We could just replace them with a new batch of people."

This may sound indifferent, but it's the truth.

These executives are not irreplaceable high-end research talents like Professor Kong Shen.

But then, Zhao Bin pushed up his glasses and exclaimed excitedly, "Blood Demon!"

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly found a solution.

Blood Demon, replace the top leadership!

In addition to its basic industries, Yun'an Group also has substantial investments in the extraordinary field.

If these guys were to infiltrate, it would surely be a disaster!

Upon hearing this speculation, Bai Yu was also taken aback. He had initially wondered why this group of wealthy people were on the alien race's priority list.

Logically, shouldn't they be targeting talented, capable, and gifted individuals like themselves?

Now it seems they all had ulterior motives!

Seeing that there was something fishy going on, Bai Yu naturally revealed the details of the other targets as well.

He also mentioned his situation in Group Seven. Bai Yu guessed that it was probably related to him!

Around 10 o'clock.

Inside the Gangnam District Investigation Bureau.

Director Yang had already received the information and was currently in a special room.

Inside is a very special instrument - the armillary sphere, which can be considered his exclusive "divine artifact".

The spiritual energy within his body began to flow continuously, and the enormous celestial globe began to rotate.

A series of inexplicable messages flooded into his mind.

Even with the armillary sphere, he couldn't detect anything unusual about today.

But deep down, he had a peculiar feeling: someone was obstructing the path of fate.

A strong person who is overly confident in their abilities probably wouldn't believe Bai Yu's exaggerated claims.

But it's like the story of the Cloud Lake Dragon Pearl.

At the moment the dragon was born, he sensed a powerful aura, and then helped Bai Yu conceal the secrets of heaven, which is why the priest could not detect it.

From that moment on, he inherited a wisp of Bai Yu's destiny!

Through this glimpse of fate, he could sense that the other side was speculating about something, suspecting that there was a chess master on the Investigation Bureau's side, and guessing that this master was himself, who had improved his strength.

Following this line of thought, Director Yang, like a guiding star, led the enemy into a misunderstanding.

This behavior is actually a way of altering fate and concealing the secrets of heaven.

In reality, this is going against the will of Heaven, and will ultimately be punished by Heaven!

So-called divine retribution may not necessarily be a punishment from the Heavenly Dao of this world, but it could also be a deadly trap set by an alien race after they have noticed it.

And he was the one who stood in front of divine retribution.

"Reporting this matter upstairs doesn't seem to change the original fate."

"There are still pests."

Thinking of this, Director Yang looked at a small red star in the celestial globe.

This is just a minor troublemaker within the system; Zhao Yu won't cause much of a stir.

"Blood demon creatures are certainly unique."

"On the chessboard, everything remains the same."

"Only outside the chessboard can one change their destiny."

"Then let's go see some old friends."

Room 401.

Bai Yu held the Ink Abyss Talisman Brush and quickly drew lightning strike talismans.

The lightning strike talisman has a perfect match with its attributes, and the success rate can reach 30% to 40%, which is quite remarkable.

With the help of the Mo Yuan Divine Brush, the Blood Transformation Talisman only reduces the chance of healing by 20% to 25%.

Having obtained information about the Acupoint Opening Pill, he was already considering handing over the Blood Transformation Talisman technique.

Feeling a bit tired, he stretched and glanced at the fifty-odd Blood Transfusion Talismans and the hundred-odd Lightning Strike Talismans on the table.

"I'm fucking rich! A hundred lightning strike talismans cost about two thousand, not even counting the materials lost if they failed to make them."

"The actual cost was approximately six to seven thousand contribution points!"

"The average cost of a Blood Transformation Talisman is 15, and because of its low success rate, the expense is not low."

However, it's fortunate that he's good at making money! Otherwise, he really couldn't afford to do all this.

He glanced at the white dragon beside him.

At this moment, Bai Ling was lying on a water spirit bead the size of a soccer ball, absorbing spiritual energy.

This Water Spirit Orb is worth 1,000 contribution points!

Looking at the balance in my card, I only have 5,000 contribution points left.

Keeping pets and making talismans really cost money!

"Bai Ling".

"Hey, Brother Baiyu, are we leaving yet?"

"Yes, we'll set off in half an hour. This battle is going to be dangerous."
