Chapter 313 The Devil Troop
Night fell quietly.
The tide began to rise at the seaside.
In the darkness, the night blended continuously with the mighty sea. The Curtain of Night kept lowering, and the choppy sea seemed to be rising. Like a piece of wood floating in the deep sea, the small island could be torn apart at any time in the torrent.
The cold currents of the Arctic Ocean flew into the Pacific Ocean with the wind. It was early summer on the island, but it was still cold.
Coldness made people sensible.
Qin Weibai especially liked that cold atmosphere.
It was late at night.
As the tides rose and fell, the sea gradually settled down.
The wind was blowing a little harder. There was a deep chill all over the island.
Qin Weibai was silently sitting on a rock by the sea and looking at the distance. Her hair was dancing in the wind; she looked a little lonely in the dark.
Flaming Fire stood quietly behind Qin Weibai, less than five meters apart.
One was sitting, while the other was standing. Both were like statues.
From the lat.i.tude and longitude, it was an isolated island at the junction between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In the deep sea, it was small in size, without any development value. Thus, it could not be marked on the map.
Because of being far from any route, this place was untraversed. Any way you looked at it, it was like an isolated island of no consequence.
That island was not named by any country and did not belong to any country. In the Dark World, it had another name.
The Samsara Palace!
The headquarters of the Samsara Palace was there.
It was a pure land that had never been exposed to the Dark World.
Many people knew that the headquarters of the Samsara Palace was on the sea. But thus far, no one could determine the specific location of the headquarters of the Samsara Palace.
A black spot appeared on the dark sea.
The black spot turned from blur to clarity, getting closer and closer to the headquarters of the Samsara Palace.
Qin Weibai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, “Light it up.”
Behind Qin Weibai, Flaming Fire picked up the interphone and repeated her command.
In the next second, the pitch-black island suddenly lit up.
The soft light flashed in all directions of the island. Light spread to every corner of the island and covered Qin Weibai. She was sitting on a rock by the sea, with black hair flying in the wind. There was a kind of almost transparent beauty and fantasy.
The black spot on the sea had gone ash.o.r.e.
It was a thin figure, shrouded in a black cloak, being quiet and withdrawn.
As he went ash.o.r.e, the sea was suddenly filled with the hidden Sword Qi.
He held a box in his hand and carried an ancient sword, looking mysterious and low profile.
“Have you brought the thing with you?”
Qin Weibai looked at the box in his hand.
“It’s all here.”
Saint, who had been silent for three years in the Dark World, leaned slightly and said calmly, “22 Minghe. The Dongcheng Clan gave all their stock to us.”
It was the Military Counselor who had made demands to the Dongcheng Clan.
It was Saint who delivered the goods from Sigh City to the headquarters of the Samsara Palace.
Qin Weibai looked at the box in his hand.
She paused for a while and said faintly, “Open it.”
Saint carefully placed the box in front of Qin Weibai.
The storage box looked very ordinary but precise. Saint typed pa.s.swords thrice and opened the box.
Inside the box were rows of lattices.
Each lattice was fist-sized and square. Each one was a tightly sealed vessel.
Some fiery-red fluid such as magma was flowing in each vessel; it kept boiling, with bubbles on top.
That was the latest research result of the Dongcheng Clan.
In the war of the Dark World, the liquid bomb was more widely used than many solid bombs.
Minghe’s power was not in its small explosive effects.
It was in its strong erosion and nerve poisoning after the explosion.
That was the main thing.
The Thunder-shocking Realm was the top combat capability in the Dark World.
Any modern weapon that could directly endanger experts of the Thunder-shocking Realm was the quintessence of technology, and would be called a treasure.
Qin Weibai stood up and calmly said, “Follow me.”
Saint closed the box and walked behind Qin Weibai.
The lights illuminated the entire island. On the island, antique palaces were well arranged. Against the trees and flowers, it even appeared vast.
Qin Weibai waved her hand.
The light that had been just on went out.
The darkness spread over the island once again.
There was no moon that night.
With a tall and graceful figure, Qin Weibai walked under the starry night sky, which looked a little lonely.
Saint followed Qin Weibai silently.
His eyes were a little troubled.
The 12 Super Masters of Samsara!
He and the Military Counselor were definitely the most special individuals.
Saint knew of Qin Weibai’s many secrets. He knew what she wanted to do, why she fell in love with Li Tianlan, and what she was going to do.
Perhaps because he knew of all those, he was uncertain of his boss’s mood.
…
At this moment, he was not sure whether she had forgotten the whole world or the whole world had forgotten her.
Anyway, it was all good.
Qin Weibai walked into the main hall, which was closest to the sea.
It was pitch-dark inside.
In a quiet and calm environment, it was hopelessly silent.
Qin Weibai reached out her hand and touched the wall.
The wall collapsed slightly and showed a precise screen.
Entering pa.s.sword.
Entering fingerprint.
Scanning pupils.
Verifying the sound.
Confirming body temperature.
Everything was correct.
“Crack…”
In the pitch-black hall, the ground shook slightly.
The floor opened to the sides.
A soft light shone from the ground. A bright and deep road appeared in front of Qin Weibai.
The pa.s.sage was long, with no end in sight.
Saint looked at the pa.s.sage in front of him as if he were looking at a blind alley.
“What do you think?”
Qin Weibai turned around and looked at Saint.
The light from the ground illuminated half of her face. Her face was sharp and delicate, which was perfect beyond imagination. But currently, it was with inestimable majesty.
“Do you regret it?” Saint suddenly asked.
…
“Why would I regret it?” Qin Weibai asked.
…
“Maybe… Are you willing?”
“I’m not willing, so I won’t regret it.”
Qin Weibai shook her head and calmly said, “You should go back. Perhaps we won’t meet in the future.”
Saint looked at Flaming Fire.
Flaming Fire was watching Qin Weibai.
Her cold face was full of fanatical adoration and admiration. That emotion was too intense and even beyond life and death.
“You can’t control me.”
Saint looked at Qin Weibai, “When I joined the Samsara Palace, I said that no one could order me.”
“So?”
Qin Weibai’s eyes were cold.
“My strength has been restored.”
Saint said, “I’m even stronger than three years ago.”
“It won’t help.”
Qin Weibai smiled and said, “It won’t help if you get involved. The Military Counselor is smarter than you.”
“He is too stupid or too loyal.”
Saint shook his head.
The Military Counselor also knew what Qin Weibai wanted to do.
So he did not go there. As Qin Weibai had just said, she and the Military Counselor might not meet again.
He had more important things.
Qin Weibai’s eyes became a bit cold.
“Go back.”
She reached out to Saint and asked for the box with Minghe.
Saint stood still.
He looked at the deep and bright underground pa.s.sage.
Qin Weibai could not control him.
However, he could not stop Qin Weibai.
The pa.s.sage was very long.
If that was the last step and headed to a blind alley… then…
“I’ll send you off for the last time.”
Saint said with a complex tone and whispered, “Don’t worry, I can handle that.”
Qin Weibai took a deep look at Saint.
For a long while, she nodded and walked into the underground pa.s.sage.
Flaming Fire caught up with her.
Saint carried the box and walked behind her.
The sound of high heels. .h.i.tting the ground gently echoed.
The cracked floor in the main hall gradually closed.
The light disappeared.
Pure darkness covered everything again.
“Recall all the Super Masters of the Samsara except for the Military Counselor and Phantom.”
In the deep pa.s.sage, Qin Weibai moved forward. When she was about to reach the end, she suddenly gave that order.
“Ok.” Flaming Fire agreed without hesitation.
…
Except for Saint, the Military Counselor, and Phantom, the rest of the 12 Super Masters of Samsara had been fighting with the major superpowers for three years. The current chaos had intensified. The Samsara Palace was not the most powerful, but it was definitely one of the leading actors in the chaos.
Qin Weibai thought that it was time for a break.
Flaming Fire took out the phone and said in surprise, “Boss, the Military Counselor delivered a message.”
“Say it.” Qin Weibai said in a simple tone.
…
“The w.a.n.g family of Beihai sent an invitation letter to the Amman family. w.a.n.g Tianzong asked you to meet with him at Mount Dibing in three days,” Flaming Fire said.
…
The Amman family was one of the wealthy families in Germany. In the Dark World, the Amman family was one of the recognized peripheral forces in the Samsara Palace. The w.a.n.g family of Beihai sent the invitation to the Amman family to ensure that Qin Weibai would receive the news as soon as possible.
“I do not have time,” Qin Weibai replied without hesitation.
…
Flaming Fire was stunned and tentatively said, “I’ll notify your decision to the w.a.n.g family of Beihai later.”
Qin Weibai stopped.
“No. One week. I’ll go to Mount Dibing in a week,” Qin Weibai said.
…
Flaming Fire nodded and said yes.
“Boss, can you tell me why you are doing all this?”
Saint, who had been silent, suddenly asked. In the corridor, he sounded a little husky with an echo.
“I’m tired.”
Qin Weibai paused for a while and whispered, “I want to have some rest.”
“Just because of Deity’s words?”
Saint said indifferently, with the impalpable sword intent around him, “Deity is also a man. He can only represent himself!”
“You didn’t go to Lin’an?” Qin Weibai asked.
She came to her senses and nodded, saying, “Oh, it’s the Military Counselor who went there.”
Saint’s face suddenly changed.
Lin’an!
Li Honghe lived there.
“Time is running out.”
Qin Weibai whispered, “The d.a.m.n old man is going to die.”
“Is this why you entangled yourself in danger?” Saint asked softly.
…
“I have no regrets.”
While speaking, Qin Weibai walked out of the pa.s.sage.
There was a great hall at the end of the pa.s.sage.
There were countless unidentified instruments in the hall. At that very moment, all the instruments were working at the same time. When she looked around, signal lamps in many colors were continually flashing. On the large screen high in the hall, a series of complex data were brightly scrolling, producing a dazzling effect.
There were several gla.s.s covers in the center of the hall.
Numerous wires were connected to the gla.s.s covers, and some subtle electrical currents stimulated them, reflecting lights in various colors.
Feverishly, a short old man kept moving in the hall, and he kept whispering, like a mad scientist.
The research had reached the final stage.
Therefore, only that old man remained in the hall.
Qin Weibai went to the center of the hall and counted the number of gla.s.s covers.
There were nine in total.
Under each gla.s.s cover, there was a body, male or female, with eyes closed, as if sleeping.
Qin Weibai remembered that almost 50 people had been sent there.
But at the moment, there were only nine people left.
The deterioration rate was unrelievedly awful.
Qin Weibai frowned and asked, “How much longer will it take?”
The old man, who was muttering to himself, suddenly came to realize. His eyes lit up and said, “Almost! After one day at most, they can fight. Look at my little treasures, they’re my most proud work. In terms of battle strength, they can completely surpa.s.s elites of the Kusanagi Force. They’ll shock the Dark World!”
“Indeed.”
Qin Weibai nodded, “They will shock the Dark World, but that’s not enough. Dr. Dubian, I need stronger fighters.”
Dubian Xiangyuan!
He was the soul of the East Island Kusanagi Force.
Three years ago, Dubian Xiangyuan was secretly sent to the headquarters of the Samsara Palace after Ninghu had been captured in Ninghu.
There were equipment and talents in Samsara Palace.
Dubian Xiangyuan was skilled and experienced.
Most importantly, Qin Weibai’s thought was the reason why Dubian Xiangyuan was willing to work for the Samsara.
Dubian Xiangyuan thought Qin Weibai’s idea was the the thought of a real genius. She did not understand a lot of things, but she could only give an ambiguous direction and result. However, Dubian Xiangyuan could prove the correctness of the idea after a lot of calculations and experiments. Thus, the idea became the most advanced technology. For a scientific lunatic like Dubian Xiangyuan, that was the most important thing.
Although he created nine super-warriors in three years, the nine people were stronger than the Kusanagi Force in terms of combat strength.
“Stronger?”
Dubian Xiangyuan was a bit stunned and then shook his head. “No, I can’t do it. If they’re stronger, my little treasures will be damaged.”
“Don’t worry about their vitality.”
Qin Weibai looked at the bodies under the gla.s.s covers with calm and indifferent eyes.
In a gla.s.s cover in front of her was a man with blond hair and a small scar on his face.
He was Phantom.
He was one of 12 Super Masters of the Samsara Palace!
He was also willing to be reformed that time.
With a ma.s.sive hole, his arms had been severely mutilated. With the illumination of lamps inside the gla.s.s covers, one could see the metal l.u.s.ter of his flesh and blood.
That was the color of the alloy.
“They were in poor health.”
Qin Weibai calmly said, “I want you to implant more and stronger alloys in their bodies. You can access all the special alloys of the Samsara. You don’t have to worry about the cost.”
“No!” Dubian Xiangyuan screamed.
His old appearance immediately became distorted, “You’re destroying! You’re destroying my little treasures! “They are the most perfect! The most perfect, do you understand? If you want me to implant more alloys, d.a.m.n it, their defensive power will probably double, but their life cycle will shorten. It may be only one year, this is…”
“I’m not negotiating with you, Doctor.”
Qin Weibai said coldly, “This is an order!”
“What I want are not indispensable trashes but real elites. Do you think it’s too little if the life cycle is one year?”
She took the box from Saint and opened it. She said calmly, “These are Minghe bombs, of a liquid state, containing erosion poison and nerve poison.”
Looking at Dubian Xiangyuan’s disbelieving eyes, she continued, “Besides, you can use the thing in No. 1 code case. I hope that you can implant the thing, Minghe with alloy in their bodies!”
Besides Dubian Xiangyuan, Flaming Fire slightly changed her countenance.
She knew what was inside the No. 1 code box.
They were the hottest and the coldest poisons!
In the final battle of Heaven Capital three years ago, the Samsara Palace helped the Purgatory of Heaven Capital to achieve its aim. For the Samsara Palace, the hottest and the coldest poisons were among the main rewards.
There was only a small amount, but they were terrifying.
If they were mixed with the poison of the Minghe bomb…
If they were implanted in the bodies of the reformed warriors, the toxin would not just be a threat to experts of the Thunder-shocking Realm. When all the toxins broke out, experts of the Invincible Realm would also be threatened with death.
Dubian Xiangyuan looked a little dull.
“You’re crazy…”
He looked at Qin Weibai with some horror, “In this case, their life cycle will be shortened again. My little treasures can only live for at least half a year, or even a shorter period…”
“Half a year, it’s enough.”
Qin Weibai looked calm.
“However…”
“There is no ‘However’.”
Qin Weibai shook her head, looked at Dubian Xiangyuan, and suddenly asked, “Doctor, you know which force is the most powerful in the Dark World?”
Dubian Xiangyuan was stunned for a moment.
Subconsciously, he said a superpower that no one could refute.
“The w.a.n.g family of Beihai!”
“Right, it’s the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.”
Qin Weibai said calmly, “They have always been the most powerful martial force in the Dark World. In each generation, there had been at least two experts at the peak of the Invincible Realm. Until now, each generation has always been the same! They have the Beihai Province, on which the Zhongzhou State can’t be of influence. They also have ma.s.sive armies, advanced technology, and powerful forces. Through hundreds of years of ups and downs, they have always stood at the peak of the Dark World. Such a family has a profound foundation, which is beyond imagination. Compared with the Li family and the Lin Clan, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai is the only family that can be called a great family. Its position is almost unshakeable.”
“But unfortunately, they’re not my friends.”
Qin Weibai looked at Dubian Xiangyuan’s eyes, “The Samsara Palace has no such profound foundation. I can’t shake the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. I can only imitate the power of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. As for the life cycle of your little treasures, that’s not my concern. I have no time to consider this.”
She patted the gla.s.s covers in front of her, “I want to see these reformed warriors in 20 days.”
“From today, they are called…”
Qin Weibai paused for a moment and continued, “The Devil Troop!”
