Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 1511: Operation Failed

Chapter 1511: Chapter 1511: Operation Failed

Inside the spacecraft, Gu Fan had already passed out, completely unaware of what was happening outside. If he knew that there were twelve people born on the same year, month, and day as him who were being prepared for a sacrifice, he would surely be shocked senseless for quite a while.

The twelve people were also unaware of what was going on; they were merely following the orders of the mysterious masked person and entered twelve different crystal devices.

Lin Xi gave Leng Le a meaningful glance, and Leng Le understood the look in her eyes.

"Now!" Leng Le pulled out a gun and aimed it at the person closest to her. If this shot hit its mark, one of the twelve sacrifices would be voided, and the ritual would be disrupted.

However, almost the instant Leng Le made her move, the mysterious masked person rushed over, grabbed Leng Le’s arm, and choked her by the neck.

"Did you think I wouldn’t know about your little schemes?" the mysterious masked person sneered, and even crushed the gun in Leng Le’s hand.

Some of the twelve had not yet entered the crystal devices. Witnessing this scene, they were utterly terrified and felt the situation becoming more complicated.

"This has nothing to do with you. Get in now." The cold voice of the mysterious masked person was also a threat, making the remaining people obediently enter the crystal devices quickly.

At this moment, Lin Xi wanted to shout, to tell these people that once they entered the crystal devices, they would...

However, the life and death of Leng Le were solely at the whim of the mysterious masked person, whose cold gaze seemed to tell Lin Xi not to do anything unnecessary.

Helplessly, Lin Xi could only watch as the twelve people entered the crystal devices, and it was all too late.

Theoretically, Gu Fan acquiring perfect immortality would make him as powerful as the big boss, which should be a good thing.

But Lin Xi still preferred that there be no perfect immortality, not because she worried about appearing mismatched with the youthful Gu Fan when she grew old, but because of the mysterious masked person in front of her.

The first time Lin Xi saw the mysterious masked person, she felt a dangerous aura emanating from him, and her intuition told her that this mysterious masked person was a terrifying opponent.

Should she intervene now? If it came to a fight, Lin Xi was definitely no match for the mysterious masked person, but if she could sabotage the device...

The expression on Leng Le’s face was one of agony as the mysterious masked person continued to choke her, showing no intention of letting go.

Lin Xi quickly said, "Please let Leng Le go; she did this for Gu Fan’s sake."

"So what?" The voice of the mysterious masked person was harsh and merciless: "Anyone who obstructs me, I can kill."

Hearing this, both Leng Le and Lin Xi shuddered, beginning to doubt their earlier speculations.

The mysterious masked person added, "I forgot to remind you, the ritual has already started. If it gets interrupted midway, Gu Fan will die. So, it’s better if you help me secure this place."

Hearing this, Lin Xi’s brow furrowed, unsure whether it was true or not.

At that moment, General Horton arrived, looking utterly respectful as he called out master to the mysterious masked person.

Lin Xi was surprised, before Gu Fan had speculated that the mercenaries’ attack on Dark City was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, perhaps standing behind General Horton was an unexpected figure, and it turned out to be the mysterious masked man.

"Exactly, I should have guessed earlier," Lin Xi remembered a previous incident where General Horton had consumed a blue reagent, which then made him stronger. Currently, besides Gu Fan, only the mysterious masked man could provide such a blue reagent.

The mysterious masked man glanced at General Horton and said disdainfully, "You failed to complete the task I gave you, and still have the audacity to see me."

"Master, it’s not my fault, it was Gu Fan who..." General Horton hadn’t finished speaking when he encountered the cold gaze of the mysterious masked man, causing Horton to break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly stop.

Lin Xi furrowed her brows, finding it odd. If General Horton was following the mysterious masked man’s orders, then why would he try to steal the blue potion from Gu Fan?

Lin Xi looked at General Horton, then at the mysterious masked man, and then at Gu Fan. She then had an epiphany: since the blue potion could counteract vampires, perhaps it could also counteract eternal life.

The mysterious masked man huffed coldly, "Lin Xi, you’re very clever, you guessed it again."

"Do you know what I’m thinking?" Lin Xi smiled in relief, now fully certain of the identity of the man behind the mask.

In response, the mysterious masked man remained silent, as if tacitly agreeing.

Lin Xi added, "If your eternal life has a weakness due to this blue potion, then what you have is not perfect eternal life."

"That’s right, there indeed is a weakness, but only Gu Fan and I know about it," the mysterious masked man said, then immediately threw Leng Le towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi quickly cast a spell, using a gust of wind to catch Leng Le. Meanwhile, she glanced at Li Shi who was still unconscious, realizing she really couldn’t handle the mysterious masked man alone.

"Did you hear that? The footsteps outside, Organization X is coming in again to fight. I’m going to kill the enemy, will you join me, or do you want to take a gamble?" After speaking, the mysterious masked man indifferently walked past Lin Xi, seemingly not worried at all that Lin Xi might do something detrimental.

"Let’s see!" Lin Xi believed that with the Destiny Stone Body Guard, Gu Fan wouldn’t be easily defeated, so she gathered her supernatural power to forcibly break the crystal device.

Leng Le was nervous and intervened, "Lin Xi, think about it. Once you strike, there’s no turning back. Either you succeed, or..."

"I know..." Lin Xi gritted her teeth, but ultimately gave up, not daring to gamble with Gu Fan’s life.

Turning around, Lin Xi watched the mysterious masked man’s retreating figure, sighing inwardly that he knew she wouldn’t make a move, which is why he could leave. The mysterious masked man seemed to grasp every move and even the psychological shifts of their group.

"Is there really no way to stop it?" Leng Le studied it thoroughly, but soon gave up, unable to figure out the device.

Lin Xi considered carefully and decided to deal with Organization X first, and think of a way to handle the mysterious masked man later.

At that moment, Li Shi woke up, finding herself back here, and was immediately astonished.

Lin Xi briefly explained the situation and didn’t have time to care for Li Shi, only able to ask Leng Le to take Li Shi out through the same secret passage as before.

The battle was approaching a critical juncture, and while Li Shi knew she wasn’t much use, the thought of leaving while Gu Fan was still in danger was unbearable to her.
