Chapter 143: Chapter 93: Expel the Thirteenth Institute!_2

Deep Sea said, "Give me a few minutes, I need to equip the Spirit-slaying Armor, dealing with these two B-grade Spiritual Ability Users alone requires a bit of effort."

"Honey, you still have me!"

"Wife, you need to maintain the Cutting Blade Armor, there are still Blade Beasts underground, they were merely pushed back. There’s a lack of oxygen below, and the ground pressure is high, we’ll need to clear them out bit by bit... Captain Zheng and the others are guarding down there."

"Haha!" Red Snake cheered, "I thought there’d be no more game when we got back! Taking advantage of Lingtong’s return for major repairs, I’m going to surpass her in combat achievements!"

Lingtong showed no reaction.

She had adjusted her posture and, with a single mechanical arm, picked up the severely injured Wang Jixuan onto her shoulder and walked towards a multirotor aircraft nearby.

Zhou Zhengde, Red Snake, Deep Sea: ...

"Haven’t I taught Tongtong how to appropriately flirt?" Red Snake frowned and pursed her lips.

...

More than ten minutes later.

Third level of the Fortress, Spiritual Ability House.

Squads of soldiers clad in Power Armor, armed to the teeth, entered this place.

Dense footsteps in the corridor outside the Spiritual Ability User conference room drew closer and closer.

Zhou Zhengde led the way, followed closely by the two half-human mechas of Deep Sea and Red Snake, with several Fortress officials walking at the rear.

Inside the conference room, Wei Linzheng sat at the end of the table, his expression extremely solemn.

He had miscalculated.

According to his estimates, there was no way that Fortress number 76 could have fended off this sudden Blade Beast invasion; the main forces and three half-human mechas had gone to join the war against the Young King Worm, and the Fortress could only ensure the security of levels above the 38th.

He and Uncle Feng were, in fact, prepared to intervene.

But... shouldn’t it be... his side proposing terms first, the Military haggling, and then the Military conceding to them to a reasonable extent?

How many times has it been, hasn’t it always been this way?

Shouldn’t the great Spiritual Ability Users display their posture, highlight their value, and then play the role of saviors, rescuing those ’redundant’ humans?

When Zhou Zhengde scolded him, Wei Linzheng didn’t care in the slightest.

The young man was just ignorant.

Politics is the art of compromise.

But what he never expected was... the Blade Beast Group had been abruptly dealt with.

Wei Linzheng had already received some intelligence, for example, the [Beast Language Boy] played a huge role during the encirclement of the Young King Worm, and Black Storm had appeared as well.

Wei Linzheng was just betting that the young man would not be able to display his abilities today, betting that the officials and soldiers in the Fortress would not ignore the lives of the Lower City People. — Although this seemed naive to him.

With the information channels to the Spiritual Ability House completely cut off, Wei Linzheng was unaware of what had actually happened in the Lower City.

They had just received a notice that an investigating officer was about to arrive to read orders signed by the Governor of Fortress number 76.

The conference room doors were opened by two soldiers.

Zhou Zhengde, dressed in a sharp suit, entered with a smile and slightly tilted his head up.

Wei Linzheng’s face immediately darkened.

When Deep Sea and Red Snake appeared, Wei Linzheng’s expression softened.

A soldier bellowed, "All Spiritual Ability Users, stand up!"

The Spiritual Ability Users looked at each other, and finally all eyes turned to Wei Linzheng.

Uncle Feng frowned and said, "What are you trying to do? What right do you have to ask us to stand up and salute?"

Zhou Zhengde slightly lifted his right hand.

Whir, whir.

The soldiers positioned around the conference room simultaneously raised their rifles, a red dot targeting each Spiritual Ability User’s head.

Deep Sea smiled with narrowed eyes, Red Snake stepped back several paces, the half-human mecha couple creating distance between them and assuming an attacking posture.

Wei Lin was silent as he slowly stood up.

The Spiritual Ability Users noisily got to their feet.

"Ahem!"

Zhou Zhengde cleared his throat, took the document handed over by a female official from behind, looked it over carefully, and then declared in a clear voice:

"According to the Fortress Defense Treaty item 056, the Combined Combat Zone Operation Regulations item 4435, and the newly revised Edition of D5 Combat Zone Spiritual Ability Incident Handling Measures:

"By the authority granted, we are detaining all Spiritual Ability Users within Fortress number 76 and ordering their transport for custodial measures!

"Considering the repeated loss of protective functionality of the Spiritual Ability House of Fortress number 76, incidents of Mimic Blade Beasts entering the Lower City and causing widespread slaughter, and refusal to fight during the Blade Beast Group attack, we have grounds to suspect infiltration by Mimic Blade Beasts among your Spiritual Ability Users!

"Therefore, your Spiritual Ability Users are to be sent to the General Command Center of the D5 Combined Combat Zone in batches for further investigation and interrogation!"

Zhou Zhengde closed the document and looked at Wei Linzheng, smiling as he said:

"If any Spiritual Ability User resists during the enforcement process, treat them as if they are being controlled by a Mimic Blade Beast."

Wei Linzheng’s dry, old face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

The soldiers took out self-destruction collars and moved forward, Wei Linzheng’s patience nearly reached its limit, while Deep Sea still smiled, watching him.

No conflict arose.

When Wei Linzheng’s patience reached its limit, he started to endure with great intensity.

It wasn’t that he had another choice; Wei Linzheng knew that he couldn’t touch this young man before him, otherwise, he would drive that Devil mad.

He was just respecting the Devil Commander, that’s all.

Including Wei Linzheng and Uncle Feng, all the Spiritual Ability Users put the collars and handcuffs on themselves and were taken away in batches.

Wei Linzheng walked last. As he brushed past Zhou Zhengde, he paused and said in a deep voice:

"My investigation results will only be positive.

Captain Zhou, you are too eager. Even if he were your grandfather, he could not shake the entire Spiritual Ability City.

The upper echelons of our Spiritual Ability City will definitely be alarmed by this, and then you will face immense pressure. I wonder if you, this investigator, can withstand it."

"I should be fine."

Zhou Zhengde said with a smile:

"You might not know yet, but I am about to go to military court for a trial. When you are detained in the front-line detention center, I will be entering prison for rectification and reform with crucial evidence. This investigation will be indefinitely suspended with my sentence.

"Without an investigation, there are no results, and with no results, there is indefinite detention.

"I just learned this trick from one of my teachers; I always thought he was very rigid.

"Mr. Wei, may I presume to offer you some advice?"

Wei Linzheng’s lips were trembling.

Zhou Zhengde leaned close to this dangerous Level B Spiritual Ability User and whispered behind the old man:

"The reason the Fortress was easily breached by the Blade Beasts is because of the rubbish laboratories Professor Zhuang allowed Kong Nu to mess with. I have already attached your photo to the data of those labs.

"This underground larval nest will be characterized as a dangerous Young King Worm breeding experiment.

"You and Kong Nu directed it together.

"If anyone from Spiritual Ability City comes to Fortress 76 and gets unlucky, I will add their names to this list... Who will save you then?"

We Linzheng immediately turned around, but the Destruction Cannon of Deep Sea was already pressed against his forehead.

Zhou Zhengde stepped back two paces and shook his head lightly.

Wei Linzheng staggered out of the conference room, cursing elegantly under his breath.

Zhou Zhengde straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, then suddenly threw a few quick punches into the air and let out an excited shout.

"Awoo!"

...

Half an hour later.

In the supply station of Lingtong in expansion Area C.

Daoist Wang, just hurried back by Uncle Tai, had his blood-stained clothes removed. He was washed clean and changed into fresh pajamas, lying on the bed, deeply asleep.

He was enduring a backlash unprecedented in history.

Before he passed out, he managed to instruct Uncle Tai to tie him to the bed with binding straps, and asked Lingtong to guard beside him.

Quite simply, Wang Jixuan was afraid he wouldn’t survive the backlash this time due to his frequent use of Devil Skill, and he might truly turn into a demon.

Devil Skill, Demon, Fallen Demon—all completely different concepts.

Then, Wang Jixuan began to fight against the backlash, suffering immense pain not only mentally but also in his Dao Body.

Before he fully passed out, he had already estimated the risks of his current condition.

The damage was indeed significant. Although there were losses and gains, the most troublesome issue was the damage to his Tao Foundation, and cracks that had appeared in his soul, which both required a slow recovery process.

Lingtong moved a chair next to Wang Jixuan. Having removed her left mechanical arm, she sat there unwaveringly close by.

Soon, Lingtong’s lips pursed slightly as her upper eyelids began to kiss her lower ones.

The previous assault on the Young King Worm subjected Lingtong to a series of intense spiritual impacts. Although most of these were mitigated by the Eight Diagrams Plate, she was still unable to suppress her exhaustion and slowly slumped toward the side of the bed.

She barely made out the sight of Wang Jixuan, bound like a rice dumpling, and adjusted her position to avoid hitting him with her mechanical arm, then she allowed herself to fall asleep with peace of mind.

Thump!

The ponytail gently bounced on Daoist Wang’s chest.
