Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

85: Psychic Research Institute, the Deep Meaning of Key TargetsZhao Yu of the Analysis Team.

Zhao Yu!?

Hearing that name, everyone was somewhat shocked, but they were more or less relieved, as they weren’t particularly familiar with him.

Among those present, if anyone was familiar, it was only Bai Yu, who was of a similar age.

However, Bai Yu joined the team late and hadn’t spent much time with these people, so no deep feelings had developed.

It was those who were in the same team as Zhao Yu, who had spent a long time together, that might find it difficult to accept.

After listening, Li Yunbin said, “I will speak with Director Yang. He will definitely have a good arrangement for this matter.”

An unknown spy is a danger!

A known spy is an opportunity!

“Then I’ll talk about the second piece of intelligence, which is about tonight’s auction.”

“According to the intelligence gathered so far, the other races seem to have united and plan to assassinate several important targets on their way back after the auction ends.”

“Of course, the enemy’s methods might not be that simple, and I’m not yet clear on what specific preparations the Official has.”

“Is this the information you divined?”

Bai Yu showed a bitter smile upon hearing this.

Assassination?

Heh heh~! Open killing!

He didn’t immediately speak, instead wanting to see the extent of the Official’s knowledge.

“Captain, can you be more specific?”

“What I’ve currently investigated and know about the key target is Professor Kong Shen, the director of the Ling Neng Research Institute. He mainly researches spiritual energy gathering. Speaking of which, this auction has a significant connection to him.”

“As for spiritual energy gathering, it is one of the branches of spiritual energy research.”

“For example, how certain spiritual plants can quickly gather Spiritual Qi. And how ordinary minerals can become spiritual minerals through spiritual energy gathering. This theory is one of the most important theories in the Domain of the extraordinary.”

“Professor Kong Shen is highly renowned in this theory, two or three levels higher than Professor Professor Wang Wen.”

“Moreover, according to the information I’ve currently received, Professor Kong Shen has had an important research Breakthrough recently, which might also be why he’s being targeted.”

Just a few simple sentences were enough for Bai Yu to understand the importance of this person.

“How does the Official plan to protect him?”

“I’m not very clear, but there will definitely be at least a Half-step Linghai Realm expert accompanying him.”

Half-step Linghai Realm refers to someone who is in the process of condensing their Linghai. This process is relatively long, possibly taking half a year to a year.

“Of course, I’m not clear on the specifics. But I speculate that there’s a high probability of a Linghai Realm expert secretly protecting him.”

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

But their rank was too low.

Even Li Yunbin, relying on the Li family behind him, couldn’t learn more insider information.

If he could learn insider information, that would be abnormal! It would mean the ancient martial arts world dared to interfere with the Official.

However, from the current information, the Official should also be prepared.

But the Official probably didn’t expect that the enemies were so well-prepared, planning a direct large-scale attack on the auction house!

The Official’s arrangements were likely made considering attacks on the road, or perhaps they thought deeper, but he just didn’t know.

‘But from the existing information, the number of monsters is likely over a thousand!!’

‘And a previously unheard-of Barbarian Tribe suddenly appeared as a major participating race, which might be a key factor.’

‘Regardless of whether the Official has uncovered the inside story, I must relay the message.’

After Li Yunbin finished speaking, seeing Bai Yu’s still unusually solemn expression, he couldn’t help but ask, “What information did you divine?”

Hearing the question, Bai Yu took a deep breath, scanned the room, and said in a solemn tone, “This incident is definitely much more serious than imagined.”

“The Blood Race, Fishmen, Lizardmen, and the Barbarian Tribe, along with several other foreign races, have all united. They plan to launch a large-scale attack at the auction venue!”

“The foreign creatures participating in the attack could number over a thousand, and there will definitely be Linghai Realm experts involved!”

“What!? Are you sure?”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t sit still and stood up.

The other races actually chose to join forces, and there were thousands of other race creatures!

Although the last Yun Lake battle indeed involved over two hundred Fishmen monsters, the number was quite large.

But that was caused by a supreme treasure like the jiaolong pearl, a rare treasure.

The Fishmen making a big move was expected. But no matter what, that was only a unilateral action by the Fishmen, and not many elites came.

However, this auction has many important figures, and the security personnel are numerous, with strength not to be underestimated.

The information they currently investigated at most suggested that the other races planned to use this opportunity to launch sneak attacks or assassinations on the road.

But the direct goal of the other races was actually to launch a full-scale attack on the entire auction venue!?

If that were truly the case, the situation would be quite grim!

And such arrogant behavior clearly far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Li Yunbin also quickly thought and said, “This auction will be held at Mote Manor. That area is sparsely populated, and within a thousand meters of the manor, there are only two residential buildings.”

“How could a thousand foreign creatures suddenly gather?”

Bai Yu: You ask me, who do I ask?

“It’s precisely because we can’t imagine it, that the other races might catch us off guard!”

“But this attack will definitely happen! Someone in our team might also die.”

As he spoke, Bai Yu carefully looked at these familiar teammates.

Upon hearing this information, Li Yunbin clenched his fists, making cracking sounds.

This news was too shocking for him.

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

Even telling Director Yang might not be effective!

To deal with thousands of foreign creatures, the arrangements required would definitely be more than five times the current ones.

But if the city’s military strength were empty and something major happened, he wouldn’t be able to take responsibility.

And if they came up empty-handed, it would be even harder to deal with.

Thinking about this, Li Yunbin slowly sat back in his chair and said, “I need to think about how to tell Director Yang.”

“I hope Director Yang can give a clear answer, whether we should go to this auction or not.”

“Hmm!”

“Oh, right, Captain, the attack launched by the other side isn’t aimed at a total annihilation; there are a few key targets.”

This clearly didn’t seem to be obtained through divination.

But at a time like this, it should be said!

Otherwise, if I keep hiding it until the Human Race has one foot in the coffin, who am I going to tell?

Am I going to cry at their graves?

“Who?”

“Professor Kong Shen is one, along with Yun An Group executives Zhang Kun and others.”

Hearing this, Qin Wanqing, the daughter of the Yun An Group chairman, who was beside them, was somewhat puzzled.

“Yun An Group executives?”

“Yes. Wanqing Jie, can you think of any important information?”

Qin Wanqing looked puzzled, thought carefully, and said, “I know all these people, and they have some strength themselves. But, to be honest, if they were killed by the other races, the group’s operations wouldn’t collapse; we’d just need to replace them.”

These words sounded a bit indifferent, but they were the truth.

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

But at this moment, Zhao Bin pushed up his glasses and excitedly said, “Blood Fiend!”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately found a clue.

Blood Fiend, replace a batch of high-level personnel!

The Yun An Group, besides its basic industries, also has massive investments in the extraordinary Domain.

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

Upon hearing this speculation, Bai Yu also felt a chill in his heart. He was initially puzzled as to why these rich people were among the other races’ key targets.

Logically, shouldn’t they be targeting talented, capable, and gifted individuals like himself?

Now it seems there was a purpose to everything!

Seeing the hidden trickery, Bai Yu naturally revealed the other targets as well.

As for the situation of his own Seventh Group... he also spoke about it. Bai Yu speculated that this was probably related to himself!

Around ten o’clock.

Inside the Jiangnan District Investigation Bureau.

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

Inside, a very special instrument was placed—the Armillary Sphere, which was his exclusive ’Divine Artifact’.

The Spiritual Energy within his body began to continuously pour in, and the massive Armillary Sphere started to rotate.

Segments of unknown information flowed into his mind.

But even with the Armillary Sphere, he couldn’t detect any abnormality today.

However, in the depths of his being, he had a special premonition: someone had blocked the trajectory of fate.

If a strong person was too overconfident in his own abilities, he probably wouldn’t believe Bai Yu’s exaggerated claims.

But just like the matter of the Yun Lake jiaolong pearl...

The moment the Dragon was born, he felt a surge of Luck, and then he helped Bai Yu conceal the Heavenly Secret, which was also why the priests couldn’t detect it.

From that moment on, he had taken on a wisp of Bai Yu’s fate!

Through this wisp of fate, he could sense what the other side was speculating, suspecting that there was a master strategist on the Investigation Bureau’s side, and that this master was himself, whose strength had increased.

Director Yang followed this line of thought, like guiding stars, leading the enemies into a misunderstanding.

This kind of behavior is actually altering fate and concealing Heavenly Secret.

In reality, it is going against the Heavenly Dao, and will eventually suffer Heavenly Retribution!

The so-called Heavenly Retribution may not be a punishment from this world’s Heavenly Dao, but it could also be a certain death trap for the target once the other races realize it.

And he was the one standing before the Heavenly Retribution.

“Reporting this matter does not seem to change the original fate.”

“There are still pests...”

Thinking of this, Director Yang looked at a small red star in the Armillary Sphere.

This was just a small pest within the bureau, Zhao Yu, who couldn’t cause too much disturbance.

“Blood Fiend creatures, huh? They are unique.”

“On the chessboard, everything remains as usual.”

“Only outside the chessboard can fate be changed.”

“Then... I’ll go see an old friend.”

Room 401.

Bai Yu held the ink abyss divine pen and quickly drew Thunder Strike Talismans.

The Thunder Strike Talisman was compatible with its attributes, and the success rate could reach 30% to 40%, which was quite exaggerated.

As for the Blood Transformation Talisman, with the help of the ink abyss divine pen, it was only 20% to 25%.

After getting the information about the Opening Aperture Pill, he had already decided to hand over the Blood Transformation Talisman technique.

Feeling a bit tired, he stretched, and glanced at the fifty-plus Blood Transformation Talismans and over a hundred Thunder Strike Talismans on the table.

“I’m so damn rich! The cost of a hundred Thunder Strike Talismans is probably over two thousand, not counting the Materials lost from failed attempts.”

“The actual consumption is probably six to seven thousand contribution points!”

“The average cost of a Blood Transformation Talisman is 15, and because the success rate is low, the expenditure is not low either.”

However, it was also thanks to his strong money-making ability! Otherwise, he really couldn’t afford these things.

He glanced at the White Dragon beside him.

At this moment, White Spirit was lying on a water spirit pearl the size of a football, absorbing Spiritual Qi.

This water spirit pearl was worth a thousand contribution points!

Looking at his card balance, he only had five thousand contribution points left.

Raising pets and making talismans really cost money!

“White Spirit.”

“I’m here! Yu Ge, are we leaving?”

“Hmm, we’ll depart in half an hour. This battle will be quite dangerous.”

“Don’t worry! Ling’er will protect Yu Ge and the other brothers and sisters.”

“You also be careful.”

Just as Bai Yu was putting away the talismans.

“Thump, thump, thump~”

The door knocked.

Bai Yu’s eyes narrowed, could it be that guy Zhao Yu?
