Chapter 956: Chapter 192 Crisis

"Damn..."

At that moment, Yuki realized something.

This "Restricted Area"...

He asked, "This Restricted Area... it should be just a term used among you guys privately, right? There’s no command or record from the Protectors or the Scientific Knight Order that mentions any blockade over this sea area, right?"

Inzewei grumbled, "Yeah! Otherwise, why would so many unlucky idiots fall for it?"

Yuki looked around.

Since they had ventured deep into the "Restricted Area," almost all the apprentices were here.

They all nodded after hearing Inzewei’s words.

Yuki said, "If my guess is right, there are still some scientific knights who can apply for the scientific research permits for the ’Restricted Area,’ right? Maybe some research plans or something?"

Song nodded, "Yeah, yeah. Some. If we hadn’t privately connected with each other, we wouldn’t even have realized such a thing existed. Why can others go, and we can’t?"

"This Restricted Area is just something those bastards use to block us..." another apprentice said with a tone of resentment, "’They’ are a clique! An invisible clique! Who knows what their standards are! We can’t get in! It’s only a Restricted Area for them..."

One research knight apprentice even unconsciously made a wiping-tears gesture, although his prosthetic body’s face was just a relief sculpture.

Yuki knocked on his own head, "Ah... this time..."

It was almost certain now.

There indeed existed an invisible clique within the Scientific Knight Order called the "Six Dragons Sect."

The so-called "Restricted Area" officially didn’t exist at all. All the scientific knights belonging to the Six Dragons Sect, if they had high enough rank, could come and go as they pleased. Even if this got to King Aqini or Conquest Heavenly King, those official scientific knights had ample reason—they were official knights, while those causing trouble were apprentices. No doubt, official knights understood "science" better than the knight apprentices, and questioning the decisions of official knights clearly indicated there was something wrong with the apprentices.

But if they really demarcated a restricted area for everyone to know, they would instead have to explain to King Aqini why there needed to be a restricted area.

At the same time, Yuki also thought of something else.

"You said your knight order is directly under the Galapagos Temple?"

"Not entirely. You see, those guys on Zhao’s side come from the Secluded Crane Knight Order, and Little R is from the Colon Knight Order. Several knight orders have shared ports in the Pacific Ocean..."

— Secluded Crane...

Yuki pressed his forehead. Wasn’t this the knight order that his master attacked some time ago...

Which meant, by investigating the makeup of these apprentices, one could find out which knight orders had a higher concentration of Six Dragons Sect members.

"Ah..." Inzewei sat on his chair, inserted a piece of junk information into himself again: "This place is really dead... what are those fools guarding..."

[Sect Leader Song] Yuki suddenly messaged: [Don’t make a fuss. What I’m about to say next could relate to everyone’s lives. Please stay calm, okay.]

[Oh? Young Hero, if there’s anything, just tell us.] Inzewei even pulled out the junk information to show seriousness.

Yuki said: [Although there is no armed protection force from the Gene Bank escorting this area, there are several hidden submarines.]

Inzewei became interested: "There’s really a big project?"

This immediately caught everyone’s attention. Then someone joked, "Sect Leader, we’re all bucket-running, yet there’s a project? What project? Why are you so addicted?"

[Don’t make a fuss just yet!] Yuki hurriedly said: [This matter is significant; if things get chaotic, we might end up with casualties ourselves!]

He was almost jumping in urgency.

It had been a few days since Yuki was rescued. During these days, he mainly focused on repairing brain damage and honing his Inner Strength, all the while being vigilant against these mysterious, self-proclaimed Jianghu people. He never realized they were merely a group of frustrated research apprentices.

Still, their prolonged oppression had caused some psychological distortion.

This type of person is very easily agitated and might not have faced life-and-death situations. Suddenly releasing the information could cause panic.

Inzewei waved his hand, "Why won’t I be addicted? Just talking about games."

Saying this, he simultaneously sent a message to Yuki: [Hmm, I’m watching.]

As the brains behind these extended-time apprentices, Inzewei still had some credibility.

Yuki said: [Sect Leader Song, have you heard of the ’Six Dragons Sect’?]

["Six Dragons Sect"? Oh, I’ve heard of it, heard of it. King Aqini’s bounty order is still on the homepage of the Moon Affairs website. It’s said to be a secret society formed by a minority group of scientific knights, very malevolent in nature. I heard that the other day they even attacked the Secluded Crane Knight Order’s outpost.]

Yuki said: [From a Hero’s perspective, the nature of the Six Dragons Sect is equally malevolent. Then... this Restricted Area has a Six Dragons Sect underwater mobile base, maybe more than one.]

Inzewei didn’t send a message for a long time. She calmly plugged that piece of junk information back into the port on the side of her thigh.

[My master has clashed with the Six Dragons Sect more than once.] Yuki said: [My master was also involved in the Secluded Crane Knight Order attack. The Secluded Crane Knight Order wasn’t attacked by the Six Dragons Sect. The Secluded Crane Knight Order was the base of the Six Dragons Sect, and then the Heroes claimed the Six Dragons Sect attacked the Six Dragons Sect’s base to draw King Aqini’s attention, so the Six Dragons Sect would divert King Aqini’s attention allowing the Hero Faction to accomplish another major task...]

Inzewei pulled down that piece of junk information, replaced it with another piece, and impatiently swapped again, even somewhat roughly.

[You mean... none of us are allowed here because we aren’t Six Dragons Sect members?]

Yuki nodded.

[Inherited disease!] (Note: A phrase similar to a national curse)

Inzewei leaned back in his chair, remaining silent for a long time.

Yuki said: [Sect Leader Song, you still need to prepare for this early... The reason I’m walking on the seabed is that my vehicle was destroyed by the Six Dragons Sect, and I barely escaped. My master has already clashed with the Six Dragons Sect. And given his character, the information "there’s a Six Dragons Sect here" will likely be broadcasted.]

If Xiang Shan were here, he’d probably knock on his disciple’s head and let him consider the possibility of "total annihilation of others."

But Yuki firmly believed that even if his master lost, died, he at least would spread the information. He could at least protect Yuan Wenren to leave.

His master might lose, but not so severely.

Hence, the information "there is a Six Dragons Sect here" might already be known outside.

And at the same time...

[The common characteristic of you scientific knight order traitors is "having the project delayed because of the Restricted Area" — this trait is too obvious. Anyone could spot it.]
