Corned and Flower-Kiss Viper suddenly turned around, staring at Li Xia in astonishment, as if petrified.
"Original Sin Body??? How is this possible???"
Flower Kiss Viper suddenly became agitated; her entire family had perished in the invasion of the Primal Sin.
"How could such a monster—how could it possibly be controlled by someone?"
Corned's face was extremely gloomy. As the general manager of Fortified Defense, he had, of course, experienced the 'Seven Deadly Sins' tragedy.
He also had friends and relatives who died in that disaster.
Most importantly, the consensus within the entire Sanctuary is that the 'Seven Deadly Sins' are the enemy of everyone.
The shock of learning that the tuner was actually one of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' was no less than the shock of discovering that one's own leader was an enemy spy.
"you sure?"
Corned's voice carried a deep chill, his gaze fixed intently on Li Xia.
"Of course we know. It was shortly after they said those words that the tuner suddenly appeared."
Li Xia nodded and said casually:
"In addition, I have applied to meet with the leader of Yuanxu."
The two were stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered their voices:
"He actually agreed?"
The leader of the Yuanxu has not appeared in public for a long time, and has been issuing orders remotely.
On the contrary, the tuner would occasionally show up, and as long as the tuner was there, no one dared to have any other thoughts.
It's not that no one has ever harbored thoughts of rebellion, but they were all ruthlessly torn to shreds by the tuner.
The four tuners, and the four tuner squads, are what the leader of the Primal Order controls in the entire shelter.
“He didn’t agree at first, but he agreed after I showed him that I wanted to fight the tuner.”
Li Xia's words were simple, but to Kohned and Flower Kiss Viper, they sounded like a complete fantasy.
You want to fight the tuner?
Most importantly, the leader of the Yuanxu faction actually agreed?
What does this mean?
Does this mean that, according to the judgment of the Primordial Leader, the cost of fighting the Dark Flame is extremely high?
So we absolutely have to meet?!
Corned took a deep breath: "What do you want us to do?"
He suppressed all his chaotic thoughts. Regardless of whether what Dark Flame said was true or not, at least he had gone to great lengths to avoid Yuan Xu and come here.
There must be something to do, so Corned decided to see what Darkflame wanted him to do first.
“I suspect that the one called ‘Divine Revelation’ has already infiltrated the Nine Wings with his followers, but I don’t know which wing specifically.”
Li Xia looked at him and nodded: "I don't have the means to investigate either, but I think Mr. Corned must have a way to find out."
Those whose behavior has been somewhat unusual recently, especially those involving multiple senior executives within a company who have exhibited unusual behavior around the same time..."
Corned fell into deep thought, and he slowly nodded:
"I'll look into that, but what happens after I find out?"
The things Darkflame mentioned were also related to the survival of the shelter. Everything they had was within the shelter, and they had an almost instinctive desire to protect its safety.
Even things that threaten their own existence are the most important, even if the Yuanxu has to take a backseat!
Moreover, it's now clear that Darkflame is going to deal with Yuanxu. Since someone has already taken on the most difficult part, then the rest...
"Once the investigation is complete... let's see how many other wings Mr. Corned can persuade..."
Li Xia's voice remained calm, without the slightest ripple.
The meaning is very clear: I've told you what's going on, and danger is approaching. You need to decide for yourselves what to do.
It's fine to be a coward and hide like a turtle, or it's fine to rise up and fight to protect your own interests.
In short, he is going to meet with the leader of Yuanxu. As for whether he will actually settle things with Yuanxu then...
Corned closed his eyes and struggled greatly; after a long while, he finally let out a long breath.
"I'll try to investigate..."
Li Xia nodded: "That would be best."
When will the leader of Yuanxu meet with you?
"We made an appointment for three days later, but now... it should be two more days."
"Two days? That's a very tight schedule..."
"Yes, so I suggest you start now."
Corned stopped speaking and closed his eyes, suddenly dissolving into a pool of viscous liquid under the horrified gazes of the three little ones.
Black Charcoal's fur bristled, and it darted several meters away almost instantly. Awoo swung its claws, sending a torrent of water flying like a high-pressure water gun.
"It looks like... tonight is going to be a long night."
The viper stretched, displaying her beautiful curves to the fullest. She turned her face to meet Li Xia's questioning gaze and smiled alluringly:
"You don't actually think I can leave, do you?"
She pointed to the sky:
"I played it for the leader of Yuanxu all night. If I leave now, does that mean you're no good?"
Flower Kiss Viper chuckled: "A titled hunter, and a second breakthrough at that... in less than an hour, the title of the Shelter's Fastest Gunman is yours."
Li Xia: ..........
He stood up and walked towards the room: "Whatever you want."
Although he wasn't really interested, the title of "quick shooter" was something he would absolutely never accept.
Huawen Viper couldn't help but laugh as she watched Anyan's retreating figure before entering the room.
.................
Early the next morning, Hua Wenfu yawned, carrying her high heels, and left Li Xia's villa wearing a deliberately disheveled short skirt.
They went through the motions completely, showing considerable professionalism.
Li Xia went to work in the building as usual, clearly the news had spread faster than expected.
Along the way, the company employees he encountered, while still respectful, also looked at him with a strange kind of unease.
There were even many female employees who were posing and dressed in flashy clothes, constantly winking at him, as if they had dry eye syndrome.
It seems... Corned's movements have indeed become very fast.
If a piece of gossip spreads unusually quickly, it means that this is to cover up something else.
No matter what world you're in, there are always some things that are common to all.
Just like gossip, it's something that can attract the attention of ordinary people wherever it is, firmly drawing their focus.
Ignoring the disturbances around her, Li Xia went into her office and continued watching her 'explosive variety show'.
Nothing much to do today: watch variety shows, eat sunflower seeds, and play cards.
..........................
"Dark Flame, Deputy General Manager of World Nine Wings, Fortified Defense, and Minister of Special Operations, you have been granted an audience with the leader of the Yuanxu Clan."
"Do not bring any weapons or equipment, and board the transport plane within ten minutes."
The next morning, before Li Xia had even left the house, Yuan Xu's instructions came through the smart device.
His gaze lingered on the weapons and equipment for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
He stood up and went to the window. Sure enough, the unique transport plane of Shangyuan Xu was already parked on the ground in the garden outside.
“You’re at home, no—”
Li Xia paused for a moment, then said, "Go to the Hunter's Guild and find Azure. I'll contact you in the team channel if anything happens."
The three little ones nodded. They had been fighting side by side for a long time, and their tacit understanding had seeped into their very bones.
His hand brushed across his chest, and the divine robe naturally draped down, transforming into a coat-like garment, as he walked towards the transport plane.
The hatch opened automatically. The small transport plane was quite cramped, looking almost oval, and contained nothing but a seat.
Of course... there was no driver either.
The transport plane shuddered and silently flew into the sky. Soft lights flickered inside the cabin, and the enclosed cabin offered no view of the outside world.
Li Xia closed his eyes, and his Observation Haki slowly unfolded, although Observation Haki was completely different from his eyes.
However, it can still roughly judge the environment by the surrounding biological scents.
Those densely packed biological scents, seemingly suspended in layers in mid-air, must be the company's office building.
After passing through these crowds, the biological energy ahead gradually decreased and formed a ring shape, which should be the area where the Central Yuanxu leader was located.
The transport plane suddenly came to a stop, and Li Xia felt as if there was a solid barrier in front of him. Even with his Observation Haki, this barrier was extremely strong, completely different from the shield above his head.
In his perception, the solid barrier suddenly opened a small hole, just big enough for the transport plane to pass through.
As the aircraft continued to move forward, the biological presence below diminished, and some of the presences even exuded a strange aura.
A slight feeling of weightlessness washed over her as the transport plane rapidly descended. When the peculiar sensation of touching the ground returned, Li Xia opened her eyes.
He walked down the open cabin door and found himself in a strange building that seemed to be made entirely of metal.
The walls, floors, and ceiling all gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, while the white light overhead illuminated the area.
Two soldiers encased in armor stepped forward, and a cold, mechanical voice rang out from beneath their masks: "Store your weapons here."
Li Xia raised her arms: "I didn't bring any."
But the two soldiers remained standing, their masks flashing red: "Store your standard-issue long spears here, or you will be considered to be attacking the Yuan Order, immediately stripped of all your identities, and placed on the most wanted list!"
Li Xia paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and raised his hand. In an instant, Night Silence appeared in his hand with a cold luster.
He could choose not to hand it in, or he could choose to break in immediately, but Li Xia was no longer in a hurry. He was eager to see what Yuan Xu was up to.
He handed the spear to the two soldiers, released his grip, and the two instinctively reached out to take it.
The moment they made contact, Ye Ji sprang to life like a cat that had sprung up. A strong electric current surged through the gun, and the entire gun trembled. He was about to teach them a lesson.
No matter how the current surged, it only flowed on the surface of the armor and could not penetrate even a fraction of it.
Oh? The super-insulated armor, was it deliberately changed to target myself?
The night was still buzzing loudly, and the gun had begun to develop its own intelligence. It showed strong aversion to any attempt to touch it by someone who was not its owner.
Two soldiers pulled out a cylinder from behind them, and after pressing a button, the cylinder automatically rose into a slender cylinder.
They placed the silence of night within it, letting the spear flicker, vibrate, and hum inside, yet unable to escape.
Li Xia took a look and found that this thing could not block his soul connection with Ye Ji, so he didn't take it seriously.
I don't know what these people are thinking. They seem to feel at ease once they've removed their spears, their confidence increases by 100%.
Two more soldiers ran out from the side, took the cylinder away, and the two soldiers in charge of the inspection still spoke in that cold, electronic voice:
"Come with us. Do not make any moves while walking. All your actions will be monitored. If any abnormal behavior is detected, defensive measures will be triggered immediately."
In the cold, metallic corridor, only the sound of their footsteps echoed.
One by one, the heavy doors opened, and after they passed by, they closed silently again.
The deeper he went, the more oppressive it felt, with an unfamiliar power surging around him. Even with his Observation Haki at its maximum, he could no longer sense the presence of any living person.
The white overhead lights were gradually replaced by a faint blue light, making the entire corridor even darker.
Li Xia estimated based on her pace that she had walked nearly 3 kilometers and was still not at the end.
Time seemed to lose its meaning in this dark and gloomy place.
He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Yuan Xu had been hiding underground all along, never coming out?
The two soldiers moved with unusually steady steps, each stride covering the same distance. Their movements were quite mechanical, as if they were not human, but rather a cold machine.
