Chapter 147 Execution Moment

“Help her out? That’s all?”

“There is one more period.”

“Is a period really that important?” Wang Jixuan stared at Mudan.

Wearing a guard uniform, Peony pursed her lips and frowned: “She added a period, which means she wasn’t interrupted at the last minute, but that’s all the information contained in the message… That’s how Peony analyzed it.”

Master Wang pondered for a moment: “The situation is unclear. Let’s wait for news. Replying to her rashly would only expose us.”

“Okay… Ding ding~”

Peony used her cherry-like lips to simulate the sound effects of receiving a message.

“A message has arrived! Wow, it’s quite long! She must have been editing it, sir!”

Peony’s little hand pushed out a projection screen, on which several lines of text appeared.

This matter was pushed to me. I was responsible for sending a few suicide soldiers to your D5 headquarters. I was also one of the chief executors in this operation.

I know this is a political struggle, and it’s for the sake of justice for humanity as a whole, but it still hurts to send my friends and sisters to their deaths.

After analyzing the situation, I believe you are the one behind this. After all, D5 hadn’t been able to find any hidden spies for many years before you became active, so I decided to contact you directly.

Even if you make a mistake, given your unique characteristics and your relationship with Fu Jian, nothing will go wrong.

Do me a favor and let those four die a quick and painless death, without interrogation and torture. They carried out these vile orders with the belief of saving humanity, and I don’t want them to suffer any more before they die.

It’s okay if it doesn’t work out; this is just a personal request.

Wheat dragonfly.

“So that’s how it is…”

Wang Jixuan looked up and remained silent.

Aunt Dragonfly will secretly send over the nature faction’s suicide psionicists;

Fu Jian personally arranged for his trusted confidants to act as inside agents, carrying out a satisfying assassination to resolve the internal troubles and frame the ruling faction of the Psionic Capital.

Wang Jixuan didn’t want to get involved, but since Aunt Dragonfly had spoken, he didn’t want to refuse.

Little Beta, the ‘Tree of Kindness,’ is still with her.

“Reply to the old lady and I will try my best to keep an eye on things and help them settle things quickly.”

“Yes, sir, sent.” Peony replied crisply.

Wang Jixuan waved his hand: “Send a message to the Commander-in-Chief as well. If he needs my help in this matter, just let me know. I can do it very discreetly.”

Peony nodded in agreement, and then began to adjust the wording of her communications with the Commander-in-Chief.

Peonies could also do this.

Given enough equipment, she can be very discreet.

…

Four days later.

The complete list of names for this soul search has been released.

Twenty-eight officers, including two top-ranking generals, will be purged, and more than sixty others will receive minimum severance pay.

Only 40 percent of them are related to the Psionic City or the Blade Beasts; the rest are criminal or economic crimes.

—The more than one hundred officers on the initial list were those whom Fu Jian suspected of having problems.

Fu Jian selected four high-profile targets, including Meng and Sheng, as the assassination targets for the Naturalist Psionicist assassins. The others were immediately purged after the assassination.

Wang Jixuan breathed a sigh of relief after finishing her work.

The only reason he’s staying at the headquarters now is for the ritual of shattering the crystal core, where a large amount of spiritual energy awaits him to absorb.

Wang Jixuan has made all the necessary preparations to accelerate his cultivation by any means necessary!

According to his own estimate, he could return to Fort 76 in the medieval basin within about two days.

Provided there is no shortage of crystal cores, the seventh level of the 76 Fortress offers the best training environment.

Not only is the scenery of the fields conducive to cultivating one’s character, but the laughter of the children can also effectively alleviate the murderous intent after unleashing demonic powers.

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to finish repairing him for more than ten hours in one go, Sister Wan rushed over.

“Wang Zheng! Commander Black Shell is in our studio and wants you to come over immediately!”

Wang Jixuan was a little confused: “Isn’t it none of my business? Sister Wan, you could have just sent a message, why did you have to go through all this trouble?”

“The officer ordered me to come and call you!”

“Oh well.”

Wang Jixuan glanced at the box beside him, which contained more than a dozen general-level blade beast crystal cores with demon-suppressing talismans attached, each one larger than an ostrich egg.

They’ve already paid, so what could possibly go wrong?

Sister Wan, panting heavily, said, “I don’t know the specifics. It was an order from the Commander-in-Chief. Apparently, it’s to prepare a report for the Commander-in-Chief about the bio-mechs?”

“I understand now.”

Wang Jixuan stretched and stood up, asking Sister Wan to help adjust the nano mask. He then disguised himself as Uncle Tai again and jogged with Sister Wan to the Lingtong logistics team’s exclusive studio at headquarters.

When he arrived, Peony was serving tea to the black seashell.

No one can resist the industrial tea essence of Peony, not even a half-human mech with over 90% body modification.

The black-shelled man took a sip of tea, then looked at ‘Uncle Tai’ Wang Jixuan with a smile.

Ling Tong, who was feeling a little uncomfortable, immediately said, “Uncle Tai is here. Let’s go. The Commander-in-Chief is waiting for us.”

“Nice to meet you.”

The black seashell immediately stood up, strode forward, and extended its right hand to Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan gripped his hand tightly: “I’ve long admired your name!”

“Me too!”

The old instructor, wearing a black seashell, whispered:

“The Commander-in-Chief sent me here to have you observe this meeting. Also, to put your mind at ease, our struggle against the corrupted psionicists and the Blade Beast civilization will continue to the very end, regardless of the cost!”

Wang Jixuan asked, “Has everything been arranged afterward?”

The black seashell immediately replied, “It’s all arranged, and the things you asked me to do have also been arranged… There’s a bit of a rush, please.”

Ling Tong reminded him, “Uncle Tai is behind me.”

“Please go first, sir.”

Wang Jixuan smiled and stepped back behind Ling Tong, standing side by side with Sister Wan.

Deep Sea immediately jumped to the side of the black seashell.

The black seashell glared at the deep sea with a hint of disdain: “Stay away from me! Do you have any discipline at all?!”

Shen Hai quickly nodded: “Yes, yes.”

“I’m not trying to be mean, but Deep Sea, what kind of rubbish was that you fought?!”

The black seashell strode ahead, muttering curses under its breath:

“You’re really going to drive me crazy! I’ve been teaching you for so many years, just so you can hug the tail of a King-level Blade Beast? You want to fight those monsters with strength?”

“Were you just out of your mind with chicken blood? Where’s your positioning? Position yourself! Position yourself!”

“Did you forget about the Jiaolong’s high mobility? All tragedies stem from your own incompetence! With a performance like this, you still want to be nominated for this year’s advanced humanoid mech? Dream on! Theoretically, the Jiaolong can take on a King-level Blade Beast single-handedly. A true humanoid mech warrior is one who can put theory into practice!”

“Your next modification application has been officially rejected!”

“No, instructor, please be lenient. It’s my fault for not playing well. I promise I won’t do it again next time…”

The deep sea was like a primary school student who had done something wrong, obediently following behind and constantly bowing its head to admit its mistake.

Wang Jixuan rubbed his nose and asked in a low voice, “Sir, is it alright for Black Shell to swear like that?”

Ling Tong explained simply: “He is the commander of the half-human mecha unit.”

“I mean, Shenhai has just suffered psychological trauma, shouldn’t we comfort him at this time?”

“A good scolding will do the trick,” Sister Wan said calmly. “Although I don’t understand their mentality, as long as their teacher or superiors give them a good scolding, they can quickly adjust their mindset.”

Master Wang chuckled to himself.

He glanced at Ling Tong, wanting to ask if Ling Tong had ever been scolded.

Ling Tong seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and calmly and slightly smugly said, “I am the best.”

Wang Jixuan laughed and said, “Alright, if you get scolded in the future, come to me and I’ll help you get revenge.”

“No need,” Ling Tong looked at the ceiling. “The most basic principle is to keep public and private matters separate.”

Peony nudged Wang Jixuan’s arm and whispered, “It seems that Commander Lingtong means that the training of half-human officers is official business, while spending time with you is a private matter.”

Ling Tong lowered her head and took two quick steps. Sister Wan gave Mudan a thumbs up.

The captivating moments of journalism.

…

Wang Jixuan and his group were taken to the tea room next to the conference room.

Inside the meeting room, Fu Jian, seven top-ranking generals, and more than a dozen department heads silently flipped through the documents in front of them.

The black seashell gestured to Wang Jixuan, indicating that he should just listen here, and then quickly went to the conference room, pretending to be out of breath.

“Commander-in-Chief! I apologize for the delay!”

“Yeah, it’s nothing.”

Fu Jian cleared his throat and slowly stood up.

“Stand up!” the black shell shouted.

Everyone stood up in unison, raised their right fists to their hearts, and shouted in unison and in perfect unison:

“For humanity! For the survival of civilization! Fight to the end! Never give up!”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“sit.”

Fu Jian’s opening remarks were simple and clear:

“Today we will discuss three things: first, to announce relevant information about the bio-mechs to everyone; second, the next steps in negotiations with the City of Spiritual Energy and the subsequent plan to shatter the crystal core; and third, to discuss and decide on the target of the King-level Blade Beast for the subsequent counterattack.”

“Let’s start with the first thing: the bio-mech. Shell will introduce it.”

“Please look at the screen, everyone.”

The black shell rose again, its robotic arm connecting to a projector, and displayed a series of photos.

In the photo, the current form of the Crimson Serpent is shown in its entirety for the first time to the highest military leaders of the D5 Integrated Theater Command, accompanied by the annotation: “A sub-king-class blade beast completely under our control.”

The meeting room suddenly became a bit chaotic.

Black Shell observed the expressions on everyone’s faces, then took out a prepared explanation and began to explain the origins of this bio-mech.

He was referring to 【Blade Beast Cell Cultivation】 and 【Blade Beast Larvae Taming】, and emphasized the unique nature of this bio-mech.

The atmosphere in the meeting room quickly reached a small climax.

The generals were envisioning how to use this bio-mech, combined with advanced technology and ruthless tactics, to take on a King-level Blade Beast in a one-on-one battle…

Wang Jixuan, who overheard this in the nearby tea room, almost burst out laughing.

But he soon fell silent.

My spiritual senses continued to extend outwards, and I could see four groups of people, two in a row, walking to the four corners near the conference room.

They stood in their positions, like sentries.

These are four nature-based psionic assassins and their mentors.

All eight of them are going to die.

The difference lies in how they die.

The nearby autonomous guards continued their routine patrols, automatically ignoring the eight individuals.

Wang Jixuan’s spiritual sense heard the only conversation between these eight people, which was a murmur and a whisper.

Are you ready?

“Um.”

“Have you remembered those words?”

“I’ve memorized it completely… You want to too?”

“I am an autonomous machine, merely following orders.”

This soldier is lying; he is made of flesh and blood, a normal human being.

Aside from those few simple whispers, the eight people remained silent.

Wang Jixuan felt somewhat depressed.

Inside the conference room, the impassioned speech was accompanied by bursts of applause, while the assassins waiting outside became increasingly composed.

The meeting quickly moved on to the third item on the agenda, and it was at this moment that Fu Jian suddenly spoke up, frowning as he said:

“The meeting is adjourned. I have some urgent matters to attend to. Please wait a few minutes.”

The generals present stood up and watched them leave.

Fu Jian opened the door to the tea room and walked in with his head down.

Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian exchanged a glance. Fu Jian walked to the corner and sat down, tapping his fingers on the air a few times.

The eight assassins immediately reacted.

The four ‘guides’ straightened their military caps, bowed their heads, and walked towards the conference room. Calm, synchronized, and without the slightest flaw, they arrived behind their respective targets and whispered a few words.

One of the main targets of this operation, Meng Shushui, a spy from the Psionic City, frowned and asked:

“What is it that I need to handle right now? Can’t you see we’re in a meeting?!”

“Look,” the guide said, taking out the Commander-in-Chief’s token.

“Okay, I understand.”

Meng Shushui nodded and stood up. He exchanged glances with the other three generals who had stood up around the same time, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

None of the four are allies of each other.

From this, Meng Shushui could conclude that it wasn’t his affair that had been discovered, but rather something else. Then, Meng Shushui began to ponder his interactions with the three people.

Upon exiting the conference room, the four were led in two directions and then diverged again at the next fork in the road.

As they approached the corner ahead, Meng Shushui frowned and asked, “Where are we going? Where are my guards?”

“The Commander-in-Chief has sent them back first; it’s a classified matter,” the guide said with a smile. “Don’t you trust the Commander-in-Chief?”

Meng Shushui said in a low voice, “Of course not. The Commander-in-Chief is my mentor and guiding light. It’s just that I’m not sure if such a sudden departure is in accordance with regulations, and whether it’s in line with…”

A figure suddenly darted out from around the corner!

Meng Shushui’s expression changed drastically, and he turned to run away!

The psionicist had already raised his hands, his ten fingers forming claws, and several metal blades shot out!

Blood mist burst forth from Meng Shushui’s body, who was just an ordinary person!

Similar situations occurred simultaneously in all four corners.

The manner of death of the four generals differed depending on the abilities of the assassins who were psychic.

Target number one, Meng Shushui, was pierced through the body by a metal prism controlled by telekinesis;

Target number two, Sheng Zuo, had his head ripped off by the claws of a mutated psychic.

Target number three suffered a severe mental shock that caused his brain to explode, while Target number four had his neck broken and his brain shaken violently.

Wang Jixuan clearly saw this scene with his spiritual sense.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of autonomous machines swarmed in and opened fire on the four psionicists, and a fierce battle broke out in the corridor!

These psionicists kept shouting!

“Victory belongs to the Psionic Capital!”

“Fu Jian! If you have the guts, then detonate a nuclear bomb! Psionicists will never submit to you and become your slaves!”

“You’re next!”

“Fu Jian, you’ll die a horrible death!”

As the laser cannon flashed, these C-level psionicists fell silent one by one, their four corpses completely surrounded by autonomous machinery.

The melee had just ended. The four guides who had completed their missions, four young soldiers with similar life experiences to Lin Bo and Lin Tao, squatted in a corner, raising their sidearms and pointing them at their temples.

“Victory belongs to all mankind.”

They whispered to themselves as they pulled the trigger.

Bang!

…

Wang Jixuan’s spiritual sense withdrew slowly, and he closed his eyes and gently exhaled.

Fu Jian patted Wang Jixuan on the shoulder.

“This matter is over. Prepare yourself and start breaking the crystal core immediately. This conflict has been successfully escalated.”

The commander-in-chief didn’t say much, nor did he make any excuse for his cruelty, and opened the door to the tea room.

A group of generals looked over; they had heard the noise outside and were now mostly somewhat uneasy.

“Continue the meeting, there’s no need to wait for the four of them.”

Fu Jian said calmly.
