Chapter 128 Unexpected Gain

Wang Jixuan had just begun meditating when he received a message from Ling Tong.

【Zheng Shiduo has gone missing】.

He grabbed two crystal cores, absorbed their spiritual power, put on the X armor, took the peony, and stealthily headed straight for the surface camp he had just left.

The military camp is under full martial law, and a large number of soldiers in power armor are searching for any possible clues inside and outside the fortress.

When Wang Jixuan entered the transport plane, Ling Tong was already wearing her battered mechanical arm. Because the incident happened so suddenly, she didn’t have time to change into her combat uniform and was still wearing her favorite home outfit—tight jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt.

Ling Tong stood guard in front of the terminals of several detectors.

“how’s it going?”

“Twelve minutes ago, Captain Zheng’s psionic signal suddenly disappeared in this area on the second floor of the upper city.”

Ling Tong pointed to the panel and said softly:

“This area is now under complete martial law.”

“Team Leader Zheng wasn’t in good health before, but in order to conceal his identity as the X-Armor user, he deliberately patrolled around and used the spies in the Psionic City to deliberately spread the news.”

“Now it seems that he may have been assassinated by these spies.”

Master Wang frowned in thought, then turned to look at Ling Tong: “I’ll go look for it. You continue to rest.”

“I’ll stay with you,” Ling Tong said softly. “Try to stay invisible.”

Peony volunteered, “Sir! I’ll conduct the search here. I can control all the normally connected devices in every corner of the fortress within three minutes!”

“Okay,” Wang Jixuan said firmly, “No vehicle is allowed to leave. If you don’t have enough authority, apply to higher authorities. You can contact Lao Fu directly.”

—In front of Ling Tong, Master Wang still elevated Xiao Fu’s status.

“Understood!” Peony replied crisply.

Wang Jixuan had already made up his mind.

Team Leader Zheng has done so much for the war zone and for fighting the Blade Beasts, how can we let such villains take advantage of this!

He became fierce, a red light flashed in his eyes, and a faint red glow appeared at the corners of his eyes.

He didn’t use any demonic arts when he killed Mo Feng, because it was all part of his plan. Although Mo Feng was strong, with the support of resources in the war zone, the assistance of Ling Tong and Mu Dan, and the large formation of drones, he didn’t need to risk his life.

But now he used it, so as not to discourage those who have made contributions, and to prevent those who follow the righteous path from being killed.

Although Zheng Shiduo did indeed take some wrong turns in certain matters.

Fingers together form a hand seal.

The Soul-Stabilizing Technique: Search Heaven and Earth!

Wang Jixuan’s voice, softened by the armor and helmet, still carried a hint of coldness:

“Call a team of trustworthy special forces soldiers and come with me.”

…

A hidden corner on the third floor of the fortress.

“Um?”

Zheng Shiduo slowly woke up from his deep sleep.

What just happened?

Is that cloud of white mist spraying out of the corridor a powerful anesthetic?

Fortunately, he is a balanced psychic, possessing abilities in various aspects. If he were a telekinetic psychic, he definitely wouldn’t be awake by now.

Where is this? Has he been captured?

Zheng Shiduo looked around.

A narrow, dark room, like inside a wardrobe, with faint light filtering through narrow gaps.

Zheng Shiduo felt numb all over, and his body was constantly being stimulated by electric currents. His mouth was covered with thick tape.

He swallowed hard, and with great effort, adjusted his position during the intervals of the electric shock, managing to squeeze through the crack in the cabinet door and peek out.

This is a nicely decorated bedroom, quite spacious, unlike the typical dormitories found in Fortnite.

“No way, I’ve really been kidnapped?! This…this is incredibly humiliating!”

Zheng Shiduo found it utterly absurd and then suddenly widened his eyes.

‘Where’s the X armor?! Holy crap! I’m stripped naked?! Oh no, oh no, the armor’s gone!’

He kept swallowing, his heart hardening, and during a break in the electric shock, he rammed himself outwards.

Bang!

The wardrobe’s alloy door made a dull thud, but remained firmly in place.

Zheng Shiduo took a deep breath, his whole body trembling slightly, but the electric current suddenly intensified, causing him to tremble and roll his eyes… followed by two red blushes on his face.

The feedback is too strong, wait, now is not the time to enjoy it!

“Waaaaah, waaaaah!”

Zheng Shiduo struggled desperately, but the electric current continued to increase.

The voices of a young man and woman talking could be heard outside the wardrobe door, and both of them were a little scared.

The woman asked in a trembling voice, “What do we do? He’s awake! He’s a C-level psychic!”

The man immediately said, “What else can we do? Turn the current up to the maximum and knock him out! The captain is already preparing the car. As soon as he notifies us, we’ll head over, and then we’ll be set for life!”

“But, but, I heard them say that martial law is in effect in all areas now!”

“Martial law is fine. Don’t forget your position as captain. Do you want to live and die in this dark and gloomy bunker? No, darling, I don’t! I want to make something of myself and go to the freest place.”

“But we’re just ordinary people, brother. It would be hard for us to establish ourselves even if we went to the City of Spiritual Energy.”

“Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Psionic Capital are ordinary people. They live happily under the protection of a large number of psionic beings and don’t have to worry about attacks from blade beasts. Believe me, the videos can’t be faked. I’ve seen many, many videos of that place.”

The woman sighed and continued to wait, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

Zheng Shiduo was subjected to electric shocks every ten seconds or so. He kept thinking of ways to find the feeling of fullness that surged through his body when he ‘unleashed his ultimate move’.

That’s the feeling that all psionicists experience when they activate their abilities.

This feeling is crucial; as long as he can find it…

Sizzle!

“Waaaaah! Ah~”

Zheng Shiduo’s hair stood on end and his face was charred black; the electric current had exceeded his tolerance limit.

A wise person knows when to yield; let’s just pretend to be oblivious for now…

He lay back, pretending to be unconscious, when he suddenly heard shouts coming from a distance.

“This is the governor’s residence; you are not allowed to trespass here!”

“roll.”

Ling Tong! The boss is here!

Zheng Shiduo burst forth with light.

An explosion rang out outside the door, and the alloy door was blasted open by the Destruction Cannon.

Ling Tong strode into the bedroom with light steps, followed by a group of heavily armed special forces soldiers.

“you!”

Clusters, clusters!

The sound of a stun gun rang out, and the man and woman immediately lost consciousness.

Ling Tong took a step forward, and the mechanical arm easily crushed the simple lock on the wardrobe. He pulled the wardrobe open and saw Zheng Shiduo, who was wearing underwear, his body was red, and he was wrapped in thorny wires.

Ling Tong turned her head and glanced at the stun gun remote control in the young man’s hand.

“Take these two people up for questioning… No need to follow normal procedures, get the results as soon as possible, seal off this area, and keep the whole process confidential.”

“Yes!” A group of soldiers dragged the man and woman away, while Ling Tong crouched down to pull Zheng Shiduo out.

“I’ll do it.”

Wang Jixuan, wearing X-suit, appeared in the air beside him, bent down and pulled Zheng Shiduo out, and then transferred strands of spiritual energy into him to help Zheng Shiduo recover faster.

Zheng Shiduo grabbed Wang Jixuan’s hand armor and shouted excitedly, “Quick…they have a captain too…armor! That suit of armor! A spy from the City of Spirits!”

“Old Zheng, don’t worry, I’ll come find you.”

Wang Jixuan gave a brief instruction, placed Zheng Shiduo on a stretcher, and touched Zheng Shiduo’s forehead with his finger, causing him to faint immediately.

All the soldiers present felt a chilling pressure.

Wang Jixuan didn’t know what was wrong with him. Although he had shut down his demonic powers, a murderous intent still welled up in his heart.

Scenes from Fu Jian’s memory flashed through his mind.

The Taoist priest smiled grimly. He had truly come to the right place in this mortal world.

“Take the Consul, all ministers, and captains to the first-floor conference room! Martial law at Fortress 82!”

The warriors paused, looking at the silver-white armor with the devil’s helmet, then at Ling Tong, before speaking in unison:

“yes!”

…

Half an hour later.

A small-scale disturbance occurred at Fort 82.

The former governor, who had already resigned and was waiting for the new governor, along with the six ministers of the 82 fortresses and the thirty-six captains of the law enforcement and security teams, were all brought to the large conference room on the first floor of the fortress by the special forces temporarily stationed there.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Someone shouted, “This is a military rebellion!” and was immediately silenced by soldiers who taped their mouth shut.

Someone shouted, “We want to report back to the war zone command.” A few minutes later, the Central Plains War Zone Command sent a message, delegating the temporary military and political management authority of Fortress No. 82 to the meritorious half-human mech, Ling Tong.

At this moment, Ling Tong sat in the chairman’s seat in the conference room, with Wang Jixuan standing behind her, dressed in the ‘Black Storm’ suit and with his arms crossed.

Since the current mission is to find the lost X-Armor, it is not appropriate for the Taoist priest to appear in his own X-Armor. Instead, he can use the identity of Black Storm, the’Savior of Fortress 76,’ to attend the current occasion.

The previous fake death has failed again.

Wang Jixuan’s gaze swept over the men and women sitting and standing everywhere, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Ling Tong’s body was somewhat tense.

She wasn’t really comfortable in this situation; she’d much rather carry a nuclear bomb and blow up the Blade Beasts than sit here meeting with a bunch of politicians.

“The military has lost a valuable X-armor.”

Ling Tong gets straight to the point:

“A total of three people attacked Zheng Shiduo. The attack took place in a corridor on the second floor of the fortress, and they used a powerful inhaled anesthetic.”

“Now, two of them have been arrested, and they have confessed to a man named Zhen Pengxiang, who is the mastermind behind the attack on the officers and the theft of the X-armor. Does anyone remember him?”

A minister frowned and asked, “You’ve brought us all here for this little thing? Ms. Ling Tong, don’t you think that’s a bit absurd?”

Do you find this absurd?

Ling Tong’s pretty face grew cold, her ponytail swaying slightly:

“Captain Zheng Shiduo made a great contribution to the fight against the Blade Beasts and made outstanding contributions in the battle to defeat the evil psionicists.”

“If the technology contained in that X-suit were acquired by the Psionic City, and they were to replicate it and equip it on other psionic users, it would greatly enhance the combat power of the evil forces within the Psionic City!”

“I’ve already shown great restraint by not taking you all away for interrogation!”

The minister immediately dropped his objection.

The old governor asked, “Has the armor been transported out?”

“Not yet,” Ling Tong said. “That suit of armor has a positioning device, but it’s been blocked. It seems the other side made some preparations in advance. Zhen Pengxiang is obviously a pseudonym; the database can’t find this name.”

An officer nearby added, “The two law enforcement team members who were arrested had never even seen their captain’s face. ‘Captain’ was just an internal designation for their squad.”

Ling Tong said, “Now, I’ve called you all here to give any potential spies a chance… If you step forward now and hand over the armor, it can be considered that you’ve come to your senses in time, and it might save your life.”

Another minister asked, “Why are you so certain that the spy is among us?”

“Device capable of blocking the positioning signals of special equipment is not something that ordinary officers can obtain.”

Lingtong said quickly:

“Maintaining contact with the outside world also requires a certain level of activity permission…”

“Alright, Lingtong, no need to say anything more to them, leave it to me.”

Master Wang suddenly spoke.

Everyone immediately looked over.

‘Black Storm’ took out a pistol from his waist pouch, calmly walked towards the governor, and pointed the gun at the old governor’s forehead.

Someone immediately shouted:

“You’re insane!”

“What are you doing! Black Storm, put down your gun! This is the commander of our Fortress 82!”

Just as a group of people were about to stand up, soldiers from all directions attacked simultaneously, pinning them to their chairs and killing them.

Wang Jixuan’s expression was cold and stern as he stared into the old governor’s cloudy eyes and said coldly:

“During the last Fortress 82 Psionic House rebellion, your family was captured and your military commander was taken into custody, so you couldn’t fight back, right?”

The old governor frowned and sighed: “This is my mistake, and the shame of my life.”

“I have the ability to listen to what others are thinking.”

The advantage of wearing a helmet is that you don’t have to think before you speak.

Wang Jixuan pressed the safety on his pistol and said calmly, “You’re lying.”

The old governor paused for a moment: “Why would I lie? I have already resigned and fully accept all the arrangements the war zone has made for me.”

An elderly man nearby quickly interjected, “Commander Blackstorm! Our governor has made outstanding contributions to the operation of the fortress over the past few decades. Before being elected governor, he worked diligently and responsibly in his positions as Minister of Law Enforcement and Minister of Public Security. He is a native of Fortress No. 82, and has no…”

Someone nearby couldn’t help but shout, “Although Captain Zheng was rescued from the governor’s bedroom, what does that prove! The governor couldn’t possibly be a spy!”

“Um?”

Wang Jixuan glanced at the man sideways, then pointed his pistol at him.

“Ling Tong had previously ordered a special cover-up of this news and controlled all those who knew about it. How do you know that we rescued Captain Zheng from his bedroom, and not from his office, study, or medical room?”

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, his face turning pale instantly.

Wang Jixuan approached step by step, his pistol twitching slightly: “You’re nervous, trying your best not to think about these things, your mind is in turmoil, trying to avoid thinking… But now, you have no chance.”

“I…I didn’t! Don’t frame an innocent person! I didn’t do anything!”

Wang Jixuan calmly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet grazed past the middle-aged man’s ear, striking the back of the chair and creating a clump of cotton wool. The noise of chairs being pulled out could be heard around him.

The pistol was pressed directly against the middle-aged man’s forehead.

Wang Jixuan said calmly, “I’ll count down from three, three…”

“I really didn’t, I’m really not a spy! Commander Black Storm, you have to believe me!”

“two……”

“Governor! Governor, say something! Explain for me! I’m innocent! I didn’t do such a thing!”

“one.”

Click!

Wang Jixuan pulled the trigger!

The man screamed, “The armor in my room was something the governor made me do!”

The meeting room fell silent. The middle-aged man who had uttered those words stared wide-eyed and slumped into his chair.

A strong smell of urine quickly filled the meeting room.

Click, click, click. Wang Jixuan casually pulled the trigger, breaking off the metal clip attached to the trigger.

It is possible to accomplish something without using magic.

Refreshing and efficient.

Wang Jixuan laughed and said, “Using vigilante justice is against the law. You actually believe that? With this kind of mentality, you want to be a spy?”

Ling Tong’s face was tense, but her eyes were full of smiles.

The old governor opened his mouth, then silently sighed and said nothing more.

In the corner, a middle-aged woman adjusted her glasses, a strange smile playing on her lips. Wang Jixuan, who was about to walk back behind Ling Tong, suddenly turned around and stared at the woman through the helmet visor.
