Chapter 225: Chapter 127 Unexpected Gain_2

Zzzt!

"Woo woo woo! Ahh~"

Zheng Shiduo’s hair stood on end, his face blackened, as the electric current had already exceeded his endurance limit.

He who knows the times is a wise man, might as well pretend to faint for now...

He fell backward, feigning unconsciousness, when suddenly he heard shouting from afar.

"This is the Governor’s residence, you can’t just barge in!"

"Get lost."

Lingtong! The boss lady is here!

Zheng Shiduo’s body erupted with light.

There was an explosion outside the door, as the alloy gate was blasted open by a Destruction Cannon.

Lingtong stepped lightly into the bedroom, followed by a group of heavily armed Special Team soldiers.

"You!"

Crack, crack!

The sound of electric shock guns rang out, and the man and woman instantly lost consciousness.

Lingtong strode forward, effortlessly crushing the simple lock on the wardrobe with her mechanical arm, yanked open the wardrobe door, and saw Zheng Shiduo, wearing only underwear, his skin flushed, and entwined with thorn-like wires.

Lingtong turned her head to glance at the electric shock remote control in the young man’s hand.

"Take these two up for interrogation... There’s no need to follow normal procedures, get the results quickly, seal off this floor, keep the whole process confidential."

"Yes!" A group of soldiers dragged the pair away, as Lingtong stooped to pull out Zheng Shiduo.

"Let me."

Wang Jixuan, wearing X War Armor, materialized out of thin air beside them, leaned down to pull out Zheng Shiduo, and casually infused him with streams of Spiritual Power to help him recover more quickly.

Zheng Shiduo grabbed hold of Wang Jixuan’s hand armor, shouting excitedly, "Quick... they still have a captain... armor! That set of armor! A spy from Spiritual Ability City!"

"Old Zheng, rest easy, I’m on it, don’t worry."

Wang Jixuan briefly instructed, placing Zheng Shiduo on a stretcher beside him, touched his forehead with a finger, and made him pass out.

All the soldiers present felt a certain icy pressure.

Wang Jixuan didn’t know what had come over him, and although he had already turned off the Devil Skill, a surge of killing intent still rose in his heart.

The memories of Fu Jian, like scenes, flashed through his mind.

The Daoist laughed grimly, indeed he had come to the right mortal world.

"Go and bring the Governor and all the ministers and captains to the first-floor conference room! Fortress 82 under full lockdown!"

The soldiers hesitated, looked at the silver-white War Armor with the Devil helmet, then at Lingtong, and then in unison:

"Yes!"

...

Half an hour later.

Fortress 82 experienced a minor disturbance.

The old governor, who had already resigned and was waiting for the new Governor to arrive, together with the six ministers of Fortress 82 and the thirty-six leaders of the Law Enforcement and Public Security Teams, were all brought to the large conference room on the first-floor by the temporarily stationed Special Team.

Someone loudly exclaimed, "This is a military coup!" and was silenced by the soldiers with tape over their mouths.

Another shouted, "We need to report this to the command of the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone," and within minutes, a message from the command post of the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone arrived, appointing the meritorious Half-human Mecha — Lingtong — with temporary military and political management authority of Fortress 82.

At this moment, Lingtong sat in the chairman’s seat of the conference room, with Wang Jixuan, who had changed into the ’Black Storm’ suit and folded his arms, standing behind her.

Because the current mission was to find the lost X armor, it was not suitable for the Daoist to appear in his own set of X armor; assuming the identity of the ’Savior of Fortress 76’ as Black Storm was just right for the occasion.

Just that the feigned death had failed again.

Wang Jixuan’s gaze swept over all the seated and standing men and women, suppressing the rage inside him.

Lingtong’s body tensed slightly.

She wasn’t quite comfortable with the current situation; instead of meeting with a bunch of politicians here, she’d prefer to be carrying a nuclear bomb to blast Blade Beasts.

"The Military has lost a precious set of X armor."

Lingtong got straight to the point:

"A total of three people attacked Zheng Shiduo, in a corridor on the second floor of the fort, using an inhalable strong anaesthetic."

"Now, two of them have been captured, and they’ve confessed to a man named ’Zhen Pengxiang’ as the mastermind behind the assault on the officer and the theft of the X armor. Does anyone remember him?"

A minister frowned and asked, "Just for this, you brought us all here? Miss Lingtong, don’t you think this is absurd?"

"You think it’s absurd?"

Lingtong’s face grew colder, her ponytail swayed slightly:

"Captain Zheng Shiduo has made tremendous contributions in fighting against the Blade Beasts, and was distinguished in the battle against evil Spiritual Ability Users.

"The technological secrets contained in that X War Armor, if acquired by Spiritual Ability City and used to clone the equipment for other Spiritual Ability Users, would greatly enhance the combat prowess of the evil forces within Spiritual Ability City!

"I haven’t dragged you all straight into interrogation, and that’s been quite restrained!"

The minister instantly had no more objections.

The old governor asked, "Has the armor been taken out yet?"

"Not yet," Lingtong said, "that armor has a locator device; it’s just been shielded. It seems the other party had made preparations in advance, and Zhen Pengxiang is clearly a fake name; no record of this name can be found in the database."

An officer added, "The two captured Law Enforcement Team members had never even seen their captain’s face; that captain was an internal code name for their small squad."

Lingtong said, "Now, I’ve called you all here to offer a chance to any potential spies... If you come forward now and return the armor, you can be considered to have come to your senses in time, and you could be spared a half-life."

Another minister asked, "Why jump to the conclusion that the spy is among us here?"

"A device that can shield the signal of special equipment isn’t something ordinary officers can get their hands on."

Lingtong quickly said:
