Chapter 70: Original Competition
Is Lu Cun still "one of my own people"? When he heard the news from Baiyin Yao, Ling Xingye was shocked.
Seeing his nervous and excited appearance, Baiyin Yao could only admit with a wry smile: "Indeed, speaking of Lu Cun—now he is called Lukale—is indeed a member of Baiyin."
"Then it is completely untrustworthy." Ling Xingye said coldly.
Baiyin Yao patiently explained: "Our 'Baiyin' has a long and long history, and the organizational structure is getting bigger...so it is inevitable that there will be factional disputes."
"You mean, Lucun and you are members of two different factions?"
"Sister Yao," Bai Yinyao corrected casually, "That's right, it's not my sister who made excuses on purpose, but the truth."
"Sister, I belong to the old school of Baiyin, while Lucun is the new generation of Baiyin." Baiyin Yao emphasized the two words "new and old", "For an organization with a long history like ours, history and inheritance are directly linked to strength. So The most direct contradiction now is—our old faction’s strength far exceeds that of the new generation. That’s why they will try their best to improve their own strength in order to gain more power within the organization.”
Ling Xingye continued: "So...they took a fancy to the original book "Thousand Machine Changes" in my hand?"
"That's right," Baiyin Yao nodded, "But because Xingye was born in the Ling family class, you are also a member of Baiyin, so the 'seize the book' is full of restraint. In addition, you have gone abroad, so it is still the same. It is a heavily-defended Academy City, so the combat power they can deploy is even more limited. Moreover, the elders above have issued a ban not to harm Xingye's life, so they can only choose to defeat you openly and aboveboard, and then seize "Thousands of Souls" Machine Change."
Although Ling Xingye still frowned, he also thought through a lot of things: "It's no wonder the attackers are so cooperative, they don't hurt the innocent, they don't use tricks, they come one by one..."
"After all, Baiyin cannot harm human beings for no reason." Baiyin Yao said, "As for the automatic puppets mixed in with the attackers, they don't care about hurting innocent people, but they are also secretly restrained by our Baiyin, forcing them to follow our instructions. set 'rules' of action."
"So..." Ling Xingye's face became a little ugly, "Are you treating my encounter as a game? Defeating my boss will get the final reward?"
"I'm sorry." Bai Yinyao clasped his hands together, "There is indeed some meaning in it. But don't worry, sister, I don't mean to compete for "Thousand Machine Changes"!"
"I want to have one too..." Ling Xingye said helplessly, "What's all this?"
He took out the scroll he used to pretend to be the original text of "Thousand Machine Changes", and unfolded it on the table—it was just a three-character scripture inside.
"By the way, where did the unreliable news of "A Thousand Machines Transformation" come from?"
"No?" Bai Yinyao thought for a while, "But the elders have already confirmed that the original script of "Thousand Machine Changes" is in Xingye's hands, so it must not be wrong!"
"Why do I, the client, not know at all!" Ling Xingye sneered and sneered, "The elder couldn't remember it because of his old eyes?"
But Bai Yinyao said: "The elders are never wrong. I think maybe Xingye himself doesn't know? After all, there is no regulation on the form of things like the original scriptures. We also have guesses, whether they are sprites or something like that. ..."
Ling Xingye looked at the travel bag: "Impossible, right? I almost replaced the whole body of the monster."
"Or," Bai Yinyao looked him up and down, "Actually, Xingye, you started to keep "Thousands of Machines" a long time ago, but because you didn't know what it was at the time, and too much time passed, you have already forgotten it. ..."
Ling Xingye suddenly froze—forgot?
This time he didn't dare to veto it so simply, because he really lost his memory!
Even with the help of Shiranui Hitomi's ability and the memory backup in her brain, it was restored. However, whether the backup I left in Shiranuotong's mind deliberately concealed something... It is impossible to know.
Ling Xingye suddenly shook his head vigorously: "No, I definitely don't remember anything like this!"
In the end, he still chose to firmly believe in Hitomi Shiranui's ability and his trust in her—the backup in her mind must be the whole content without reservation!
"In short, the elders can't make mistakes." Bai Yinyao reiterated again, and then he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he simply ended the topic.
Ling Xingye was not relieved yet, just as he was about to continue asking about related matters, Bai Yinyao's cell phone rang suddenly.
Baiyin Yao answered the phone and put it to his ear.
The call was short and she was simply listening.
A few seconds later, Baiyin Yao hung up the phone neatly.
"Let's go, the prey has appeared!"
Time, 21:35 on August 1st.
Although Ling Xingye still had a lot of questions to ask her, she also knew that now was not the time to continue chatting.
He simply picked up his travel bag and put on his sneakers at the entrance.
Behind him, Baiyin Yao looked at him approvingly: "Xingye, you are indeed a natural born Baiyin!"
"Let's talk about meaningless compliments later." Ling Xingye finished his preparations and checked his equipment again.
After confirming that it was correct, he opened the door.
Baiyin Yao didn't move, and shook his head slightly at an angle Ling Xingye couldn't see.
"I'm not praising you..."
Hearing the news of the automatic puppets, Ling Xingye "burned" instantly without even having the time to confirm whether the information was true.
The tragedy in that alley during the day came before my eyes again...
No, Ling Xingye shook his head, even without the scene he saw during the day, he would fight without hesitation.
Maybe... just like sister Yao said, I am a born "silver".
Jingle jingle jingle jingle...
The old-fashioned ringtone rang, it was Ling Xingye's cell phone.
"It's not time to report yet?" Ling Xingye took out his phone suspiciously.
Ling Xingye sent an email from a number that was not registered in the phone book. This is the ringtone—the leader of hundreds of armed groups of incompetent people in Academy City is an unregistered number.
"Could it be that they discovered the information about the automatic puppet?" Ling Xingye's heart skipped a beat, not much excitement, but more worry.
Although it is said that they are bad forces belonging to the "underworld", they are a "group of incompetent people" after all. In this academy city, they are actually just a group of poor weak people who have to report to the group to keep warm. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Such a guy encountering an automatic puppet... is far more worrying than those high-level ability users!
"Student Xingye, I am Yuan Shanyao..."
The first sentence of the email allayed his worries.
In retrospect, I really did not exchange phone numbers with Yuan Shanyao...or in other words, Ling Xingye never exchanged numbers with any of my classmates except Hitomi Shiranui.
The mobile phone number and the like have long been recorded in his mind along with the basic personal information of each classmate.
What does she want from me? Ling Xingye was even more puzzled. Yuan Shanyao is a very introverted girl. Normally, she would not easily contact "strangers", right?
"...It's very presumptuous to disturb you so late, but Xingye hasn't rested yet, right? Anyway, please Xingye stay at home tonight and don't go out!"
The content and tone of the second half of the email seemed a bit tough, not like Yuan Shanyao's character.
Ling Xingye understood instantly.
"Is it a prophecy? It seems that it's time for another burst of inspiration..."
Occasionally, it happened that when he was with certain classmates in the class, Haruka Yuanshan's ability to "foresee the future" would be strengthened to a certain extent, far beyond the limit of 150 seconds.
The battle tonight must be dangerous, right? To be able to make Yuan Shan Yao ignore his shyness and give himself an alarm...
The corners of Ling Xingye's mouth rose, showing a satisfied smile: "Very good, this just proves that sister Yao's information is accurate."
As for whether to follow Yuan Shanyao's advice and hide at home obediently?
Ling Xingye shook his head and gave his reply casually.
"Thank you for your concern. It seems that Yuan Shan's ability has improved a lot, and he is expected to advance to level 4."
