Chapter 143 The Black Ring and Counter-Possession
Yong'an City, northwest corner...
[Southward Project] Meeting place, in front of the secret room door.
boom!boom!
Li Changye knocked down the bear-like gatekeeper with three punches and two kicks. Then, he punched the door and followed up with a kick, and the thick door was deformed.
"Open the door! Check the water meter!"
After saying that, his soul power surged and gathered in his next kick. He kicked out with a loud "boom", and the door flew off, revealing the people in the secret room who were on high alert.
Wan Qixiang's expression was stern. "Who are you? Why have you come here so suddenly? What is your purpose?"
"Are you deaf? I said 'check the water meter,' didn't you hear me?" Li Changye picked at his ear, moved swiftly and appeared in front of him, raising his hand to slap him. "You pretending to be deaf means you look down on me, you deserve to be hit."
Snapped! !
A large B-shaped whip lashed out, sending Wan Qixiang flying. Along with his perfectly white teeth, Wan Qixiang was sent flying backward and crashed into a solid wall.
Bang!
Immediately afterwards, this arrogant commander of the [Southward Project] lay on the ground in the same posture as Yamcha, unable to get up for a long time.
"How dare you attack the team leader! I will never forgive you!"
At that moment, Kuiman launched an elbow strike, his entire body surrounded by terrifying surging soul power, as if his elbow could shatter rocks.
"roll!"
Then, he flew away too.
clap clap!
"Brothers, come in." Li Changye clapped his hands. "There's no one here who can fight. Take everyone back and we'll call it a day and head back to our residence!"
"Don't underestimate me, I'll kill you right now!" Zhula's eyes flashed with ferocity as she brandished a pair of extremely sharp axes and charged forward like a streak of multicolored light.
"Humph."
Li Changye grabbed the axe that was coming at him, and with a slight force from his fingers, the steel-forged axe shattered into pieces. He then kicked Zhula in the stomach.
boom! !
Zhula crashed into the wall like a cannonball, her head lolled to the side and she was motionless, probably fainting from the pain.
"Behave yourself, I don't want to hit women."
Immediately afterwards, he swept his sharp, hawk-like gaze toward Qige, who was rushing toward him. A fierce aura suddenly erupted, soaring into the sky, as if a golden-winged roc had appeared in the world, which actually frightened her into fainting.
At this moment, he doesn't feel like a human being, but rather a ferocious beast in human skin.
Faintly, the aura of a divine-level ferocious beast could be felt emanating from it.
Swish, swish, swish!
The next moment, several Heavenly Rank Dark Guards appeared and escorted the people in the secret room out one after another.
"Brother Lü, we've caught them all." Li Changye pressed the button on his headset. "Speaking of which, aren't these kinds of things supposed to be a long game, why did you just pull the net in right away?"
Lu Fengxian's voice came through the earpiece, her tone indifferent, "There's no need for that. Just 'search their soul' directly. There's no need to be careful with the methods used against these people."
"So, how much of a discount will you give me this time?"
"It depends."
……
Some time ago…
Above Yong'an City, the Lü family's flying boat.
"Sigh..." Lü Fengxian rested her chin on her hand, "I feel like the clothes are a bit tight and not very comfortable. It seems I'll have to go to the Chamber of Commerce and buy some new ones later."
Ti Mao and Xiao Meng leaned on the windowsill, their eyes shining brightly.
The latter introduces the city below to the former.
"There's nothing I can do. Young Master, you've grown up overnight, and with all the rush, there simply wasn't time to prepare suitable clothes," Zhao Hao said, turning around.
He paused for a moment, then said, "I'm good at picking out clothes. I'll have Brother Ritian help you choose a nice outfit later."
At this moment, Ye Liangchen suddenly turned the rudder and made a sharp turn.
"Oh!!"
This nearly caused Timo and Xiaomeng to fall.
"Hey, all of you, sit down properly." Lü Fengxian looked up and said, "These seats are for you to sit on, not for you to use as cushions for 'looking out from a high place.' If you do this again, I won't take you with me anymore."
Duang ~
"I'm sorry, Master."
The two women quickly sat up, their ample bosoms swaying slightly.
Gulu…
At that moment, both Ti Mao and Xiao Meng's stomachs growled simultaneously.
"Little Yezi, I think we still have some time. Let's stop at West Street for a bit, have them grab a bite to eat, and then continue on our way." Lü Fengxian saw through their thoughts.
"Yes, Master."
call--
The flying boat slowly descended and came to a steady stop at the dock on West Street.
"Let's go, see what you want to eat."
Lü Fengxian, accompanied by her maids, disembarked from the flying boat, walked out of the dock, and looked around. Coincidentally, there was a [West City Roast Goose Restaurant] nearby.
"How about we have roast goose?" he asked.
"Okay, okay." Ti Mao's eyes shone as she nodded vigorously.
He then looked at Xiaomeng, "And you?"
"Xiao Meng is fine with anything, she'll follow Master's arrangements."
Step, step, step…
"Wow……"
Stepping into the roast goose restaurant, Ti Mao felt like Sun Wukong entering the Peach Garden for the first time, finding everything novel and fascinating. The enticing aroma made her mouth water.
Drip!
The communication bracelet beeped, and when Lü Fengxian looked down, she saw that it was a message from [Lao Song].
"Shen Yue, make sure they're well-fed and watered as quickly as possible." He pointed to his communication bracelet. "I have something to take care of."
Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished.
When it reappeared, it was on the rooftop of a tall building where no one was around.
Within the concealed formation, Song Yunxiang's large face popped out from the communication bracelet.
"Old Lu, do you still remember Xun Xia's [Black Ring]?"
"Remember, what happened?"
“I’ve deciphered it a bit, and I think you’ll be interested in this intelligence. After all, we’re on the same side, so I can share it with you for a fee.”
Song Yunxiang paused for a moment, then said, "I have a feeling that this matter involves a lot of people, and I might not be able to handle it all by myself."
"What do you say."
Song Yunxiang nodded, and then began to slowly explain:
"First of all, this thing is a portable external nanomedical device manufactured by Tech Seven Nights in the [Eighteenth Era]. It can break down into nanounits and enter the wearer's body for treatment and physical enhancement..."
It also has the ability to change form, which can be used as a medical device to treat others, as well as transform into various tools and weapons.
However, due to size limitations, when transforming it into a larger tool, the wearer needs to provide additional consumables…
However, this batch of black rings were [prototypes], and they had been modified with special functions…
Data parsed from the surviving log records indicates that an organization that carried out the [Tower of Babel] project conducted experimental modifications on these Black Rings…
These black rings can be used as [offline terminals] to execute the pre-set version 1.0 of the Starlink Protocol…
However… the purpose of this offline version of the Star Return Protocol is not to possess others, but to cover one's own consciousness and complete [anti-possession]. It was just that it was used by [Old Du], whom Xun Xia mentioned.
Therefore, the enemies we will face in the future may not only be brutal beasts, but also terrifying beings capable of possessing the bodies of others.
"I see." Lü Fengxian nodded. "Now that you understand, you should quickly cover the consciousness in the black ring in preparation for any future needs."
Song Yunxiang was taken aback. "Why aren't you surprised?"
"Don't forget, my Lü family was founded by a demigod. Isn't it normal for us to have some secrets?"
P.S.: Please support me, I'm begging you, sob sob.
