Blind Spot
Chapter 510 - 467 Void One

Chapter 510: 467 Void One

Emperor Yi’s gesture of goodwill was clearly a recognition of the utilitarian value of Blind Spot Individuals.

Before Li Chengyi, the value of Blind Spot Individuals was almost negligible, after all, a group of people who couldn’t survive even two years had no future or potential worth mentioning, not causing harm to society was already quite good.

But the establishment of Mingyuan Group turned this impression around.

A large number of Blind Spot Individuals began to be active in important events everywhere, and those with high strength from Garden of Fate, led the way, even becoming a vital force that could influence a war zone on the battlefield.

This naturally caught the attention of the higher-ups.

After communicating with Emperor Yi for a while, Li Chengyi obtained permission to access the database of the Blind Spot Research Department.

On his way back to Suiyang, leaving the Imperial Palace.

A phone call reached Li Chengyi’s unmanned aircraft.

"What! Tang Tang has left the Void Council?! And she declared war on the Council Leader!?"

Li Chengyi listened in stupefied confusion to Xindela’s explanation on the other end of the phone.

"The Void Council, relying on some unknown source of information, wants to cleanse and purify us. As soon as Tang Tang got wind of it, she went straight to them and declared war on their boss, Saruman Kaladin," said Xindela, exasperatedly.

The essence of dreams coming true lies in information guidance that doesn’t consider the difficulty of the guidance.

The method is given to you, whether or not you can do it, that’s up to you.

"Cleanse and purify? Who the hell do they think they are? How dare they ’cleanse’ us?" Li Chengyi was a bit bewildered. "The Void Council is just a coalition of hackers, at most they can control some conventional weapons, what else can they do?"

"Don’t underestimate them. If given time, they could basically control most of the intelligent devices around the world. Including our phones, life assistance equipment, etc.," said Xindela solemnly.

"What about Silent Fortress? Yi Country shouldn’t be affected, right?" Li Chengyi frowned.

He now had some understanding of why Yi Country had created Silent Fortress; these hackers were really unrestrained, regarding themselves as the kings of the net.

"It’s not a big problem, the city is protected by Silent Fortress, but the outskirts aren’t, and that’s quite troublesome." Xindela sighed. "We ourselves might not be afraid, but our family and friends are not so well-guarded."

"How’s Tang Tang now?" Li Chengyi asked quickly.

"I’m on my way to her now, as long as we’re together, and not using electronic devices to communicate, then..."

Boom!! Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the other end of the phone.

The phone went to a busy signal and lost connection.

Li Chengyi’s heart skipped a beat.

"Boss! Boss!?" He slapped the phone a few times, realizing the other side had already hung up.

Something had definitely gone wrong!

He quickly brought up the location software, ready to pinpoint Xindela’s position.

But the software was sometimes blurry, sometimes clear, and kept popping up dialogue boxes.

Crushing the phone, Li Chengyi closed his eyes and used the characteristics of the Floral Bead to sense the whereabouts of the others.

Soon, Xindela’s direction appeared in his perception.

He rushed to the cockpit, twisted the steering wheel with a grab, and directed it to fly toward the sensed direction.

Whoo~~~

But the aircraft suddenly began to spin wildly, turning rapidly and violently crashing into a red-brown spherical building on the outskirts.

Boom--a loud noise echoed.

The aircraft tilted and crashed into the external layer of the building. Like a stick of green onion thrust into hot sauce.

Soon the energy block ignited, and the flames spread.

Boom!!

The aircraft completely turned into a fireball, burning and exploding.

In the midst of the flames, a figure kicked open the cabin door, leaped out, and landed gently.

Li Chengyi looked grimly at the wreckage of the aircraft.

The abnormal flight just now was clearly someone remotely controlling the aircraft to attack on purpose.

"It seems... Tang Tang is in a bit of trouble..."

He spread his wings on his back, and the Floral Dress quickly covered his body as he flew towards Xindela’s direction.

At ten times the speed of sound, Li Chengyi found Xindela, who was in a sorry state, crawling out of a wrecked vehicle just over a dozen seconds later.

He hadn’t had time to wear the Floral Dress in the crucial moment, and one of his legs was fractured.

The vehicle’s safety system hadn’t responded, and the speed had suddenly increased several times.

A group of company bodyguards were frantically dragging away the debris around him and were extinguishing the burning car.

"Looks like I’ve returned just in time," Li Chengyi said with a grim face, moving forward to help him up.

The fact that someone made a move on them meant that they could make a move on those around them.

"Contact the others; we must head to Tang Tang right away," Xindela, enduring the pain, quickly said while lying on the stretcher.

"Understood!"

Li Chengyi nodded, about to speak when suddenly, not far away, a patrolling Semi-Cyborg police officer swiftly lifted his pistol and fired at Xindela’s head.

Bang!

Li Chengyi hurriedly reached out, swiped forward, and struck the approaching bullet.

A police handgun’s bullet, within the atmosphere, is, at most, twice the speed of sound, so naturally, it couldn’t harm Li Chengyi.

But this kind of sudden, preventable attack was the most disgusting. The attacker had no malice, making it unpredictable even for him.

"Hold him down! Has he gone mad?! Daring to fire a gun here!?" the other officers behind the policeman were shocked and quickly went forward to restrain the man.

"Check all his equipment on him! Disarm immediately! Everyone disarm immediately!"

The police captain seemed to have noticed something amiss and quickly bellowed.

Xindela, still in shock, looked at Li Chengyi and gave a bitter smile.

"This is their judgment..."

"From now on, stay away from all smart wireless control devices," Li Chengyi said in a deep voice. He stepped forward, grabbed Xindela, wrapped him in Blood Essence, and with one leap, they flew off towards the direction of Rainbow Candy.

Beneath them, only the exclamations of the onlookers were left behind.

The Garden of Fate’s underground base.

In a courtyard specially left empty for communication, Rainbow Candy was fully submerged in a special conductive liquid used for cooling, wearing a small breathing device on her face.

Large amounts of sweat continually seeped out from her forehead and face, the astonishing heat causing her body to tremble slightly.

Since she couldn’t wear clothes for cooling, only Da Xiong was waiting by her side.

Seeing her friend’s face showing faint traces of pain, Da Xiong looked anxious, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

All the computational power of the devices from both the Yan Family and Li Family, as well as those from large companies and groups in cooperation with Mingyuan Group in Yi Country, were being utilized.

Supported by a massive amount of computing power, Rainbow Candy’s attack and defense capabilities reached an all-time peak.

But...

Even such computing power was still not a match for Saruman.

Utilizing various devices, Rainbow Candy had set up multiple lines of defense, which at this moment, were being gradually dismantled.

"Is it still too much of a strain?" Da Xiong asked worriedly.

"The third line of defense is compromised. Of the master’s six-layer protective wall, only the last three layers remain... It doesn’t look good," said the voice of AI Rose in the base.

"Saruman must have deep ties with White Star; the computing power he can mobilize far exceeds mine!" Rainbow Candy’s voice came from behind the mask.

"Is he that powerful? Then why did you start a war with him?" Da Xiong asked with concern.

"I didn’t choose to fight. He’s forcing us into battle! Purification and cleansing... What audacity!" Rainbow Candy gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and devoted all her mental energy to the battle against Saruman.

Invisible lines of defense were being peeled away layer by layer by the enemy.

The controlled devices were also being steadily invaded.

Shh!

Two figures suddenly descended from above the courtyard.

At the same time, the cylindrical container where Rainbow Candy was submerged automatically emerged with a shielding dark light to hide her unclothed special state.

It was Li Chengyi and Xindela.

Almost simultaneously, Xiao Zhong and Dragon Gate Crane emerged from another elevator in the base.

The people of the Garden of Fate were unusually gathered at this moment.

"Can you do it, Sister Tang?" Xiao Zhong was the first to ask. "Everpeace Garden’s network is under attack. Once compromised, I’ll immediately physically destroy all Garden-related data. Otherwise, our database may be compromised."

The Garden of Fate’s core secret had always been the Flower Language Technique; once leaked and if people knew the dependence of the Garden of Fate on flowers, it would be a huge vulnerability!

"That’s the least of our problems," Xindela continued seriously. "If our defenses are completely breached by the enemy, all our friends and family could face unpredictable threats. Just now, Xiao Yi and I were in a car accident... It wasn’t an accident, it was man-made!"

"Damn it! The difference in our computing power is too great... If I had access to devices on the same level as his, none of this would be happening!"

From within the conductive liquid, the voice of Rainbow Candy emerged.

"Moreover, my physical strength is depleting too quickly. I’ve used medicine too, but it’s not enough for mental replenishment. Continuous use of the Flower Language Technique is too draining on both my physical and mental strength!"

"If there really is no other way," Li Chengyi finally spoke, "then find his location."

"If we can’t beat him online, then let’s make him disappear from the real world."

"...."

Everyone was originally very tense, but upon hearing Li Chengyi’s words, they all felt strangely awkward.

"Speaking of which, charging at someone you know you can’t beat, only to provoke them... isn’t that a bit..." Dragon Gate Crane finally spoke, sounding helpless.

"You know nothing! You damn nuisance! If I hadn’t confronted him face to face, I wouldn’t be dealing with just one Saruman now, but the entire Void Council!" Rainbow Candy snapped back, flaring up.

Dragon Gate Crane swallowed dryly, with no negative emotions from being scolded, as he was evidently accustomed to this level of abuse.

Looking around, he noticed everyone’s serious expressions, with most gazes focused on boss Li Chengyi.

"By the way, Sister Tang... are you... not wearing any clothes right now?" he suddenly gulped and raised his hand to ask.

"...What the hell do you want!?" Rainbow Candy ground her teeth, creating a screeching sound as they rubbed together.

At such a critical moment, this guy! Seriously!!!

"Don’t get me wrong!" Dragon Gate Crane quickly explained, seeing everyone’s expressions turning sour and their gazes becoming hostile. "I just wanted to help... really... I just thought... it would get me excited...."

Roar!!!

A beast crowned with bull horns and adorned with black markings emerged from beneath Da Xiong’s skirt. Within seconds, the creature inflated to over two meters tall and five meters long, resembling a black tiger, its eyes fixed on Dragon Gate Crane.

"Perfect, my little pet also wants to get excited..." Da Xiong said with a smile, her gaze fixed on him.
