Chapter 439: Sneaking Around Below the Battle
The man in black had been quietly observing the daily battle, gradually regaining confidence in the Evil Card Master organization, after all, there was a formidable figure in charge.
But suddenly.
He felt as if his head had been grabbed by a wrench and violently struck, causing a concussion, and his vision became blurry.
With his head in intense pain, the man in black instinctively tried to summon a card, but unbeknownst to him, a golden pair of scissors had already been inserted into his mental space.
Bai Moxue revealed a cute smile.
But her actions were not cute at all.
They could even be considered evil, as a strange energy kneaded his mental space into a pulp.
The man in black tried to summon a card but found he couldn’t move at all, his spiritual power completely locked.
Then he saw a graceful figure before him.
A tall woman wearing a black fitted outfit, looking very capable.
And she was indeed capable.
She didn’t waste any words.
Nor did she make any unnecessary movements.
She immediately delivered a knee strike to his head, causing the man in black’s vision to go completely dark. He felt as if his soul was about to be knocked out of his body by her knee, directly ascending on the spot.
The man in black fell in disbelief.
Xu Yourong swiftly tied him up.
Her proficiency was so great that even Bai Moxue had to admit defeat. This girl was truly a professional.
Kidnapping, extortion, assassination, espionage – she seemed capable of almost anything.
Luo Sheng couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
Fortunately, this person was on his side.
“My task is complete,” said Xu Yourong. “Do you need any more help?”
“Help me get the cards from those two people, including the dark cards. After that, you should leave quickly, it’s very dangerous here,” Luo Sheng instructed.
“Alright.”
Xu Yourong moved nimbly.
She handed over all the cards from Murong Yu’s two followers to Luo Sheng, then left the factory carrying the man in black.
Luo Sheng didn’t mind that Xu Yourong accepted commissions outside.
She needed to grow and also needed funds.
It wasn’t possible for him to support her entirely.
So Luo Sheng welcomed, even encouraged Xu Yourong to accept commissions outside.
Moreover, Xu Yourong could obtain a lot of information from these commissions, which would be convenient for Luo Sheng to stay informed in the future, which was a good thing.
Luo Sheng picked up the cards she gave him.
The two followers were of no low level, slightly higher than Xu Yourong by 1 or 2 stars.
So, the confiscated gold cards were mostly between 6 and 7-star, and he also obtained 4 dark cards.
Their levels were ridiculously high, almost reaching full gold star.
“This is quite a haul, I should turn off the device first,” Luo Sheng muttered to himself.
He turned off the camera on his body.
He didn’t want to share these cards with others.
If the Security Bureau asked later, he would just say the recording device malfunctioned due to the intense battle.
After all, machines can’t be tougher than human fists.
Xu Yourong had just left not long ago.
But she came running back.
“Oh, I forgot to mention, I installed a listening device here in advance, in the control room of the factory. That information is crucial.”
“Mm, alright.”
Luo Sheng patted her shoulder.
At this moment, Xu Yourong’s fair legs were covered in black stockings. These stockings weren’t as smooth as other stockings, but could completely conceal her skin color in the dark.
She wore a short, sleek tank top and an ultra-short skirt paired with safety shorts.
Her appearance was very attractive.
Especially with her cool and meticulous demeanor, she exuded the aura of a female assassin.
“Leave quickly, leave the rest to me.”
Luo Sheng said to her.
Xu Yourong nodded and quickly disappeared into the mist.
Luo Sheng first looked up at the battle above, which was still raging on, feeling as if the factory had reopened.
The clanging sounds were incessant.
But this kind of “reopening” was obviously quite costly for the factory.
Many buildings collapsed, numerous machines were destroyed, and the acrid smoke from burning plastic filled the entire factory.
This abandoned factory bore a weight it shouldn’t have had to bear.
However, Luo Sheng sensed that Sima Shengnan’s strength was continuously declining.
Her agility was also rapidly dropping.
It could be deduced that Sima Shengnan must have sustained serious injuries, and she was now forcing herself to fight the opponent.
Luo Sheng had no intention of helping.
He might as well wait until she fell unconscious.
Only then would Luo Sheng consider stepping in, because this person was stubborn and wouldn’t listen to reason, so it was better to let her suffer first.
Anyway, she wouldn’t die for now.
The opponent didn’t seem intent on taking her life, but rather had the air of a strong person toying with an ant.
After all, the platinum level was a huge leap.
Even though Sima Shengnan was at gold full star, she couldn’t truly overwhelm a platinum Card Master. Being able to stand on equal footing was already very impressive.
Sima Shengnan was just an ordinary Card Master.
She didn’t have Luo Sheng’s cheating method of tempering her body with mysterious energy.
Especially since Luo Sheng had recently enhanced Bai Moxue, elevating her to platinum level. With her epic-grade card quality, she would find it much easier to deal with Murong Yu.
Luo Sheng quietly entered the command control room.
Then, from an old, discarded device.
He removed the listening device.
Carefully watching the images and listening to the sounds from the monitor: “Bzz bzz bzz… Our current plan is to snatch people from those Soul Ferryman bastards.”
“Snatch people?”
“Yes, they have a large number of souls in their possession, but we can too. As long as we imprison the souls of employees from every department in Yuncheng, we’ll be able to obtain a lot of their secrets… bzz bzz bzz…”
“You’re all a bunch of lunatics. If you do this, it will provoke a furious retaliation from the Yuncheng Alliance.”
“Hahaha, we’re not afraid at all. Once the officer arrives, this plan will be put into action.”
…
Hearing this, Luo Sheng frowned.
He couldn’t help but curse: “They’re truly insane!”
He originally thought Yuncheng would be safer than Pingcheng, but he didn’t expect to fall from one pit into another.
If the Evil Card Masters really implement this plan.
It would probably be very unsafe to stay in the Alliance.
They could become targets of the Evil Card Masters at any time.
However, come to think of it, for Murong Yu to be so confident in the feasibility of the plan, could it be that he also possesses some ability of the Soul Ferryman?
Luo Sheng was extremely curious about this.
Boom!
A violent explosion.
Outside the command control room, a steel catwalk exploded violently, and Sima Shengnan flew down through the black smoke.
She crashed heavily onto the ground.
She was now covered in wounds.
Although she had been valiant earlier, like a female general, now she was as miserable as could be.
Her originally fair and smooth skin was now covered in wounds of various sizes.
Blood had almost dyed her entire body red.
Now it was hard to tell if she was a beauty or a blood-covered person.
At this point, Sima Shengnan was losing more than she was gaining.
She still forced herself to stand up, gripping her spear to support her body, her gaze fixed firmly on her opponent.
Seeing this scene, Murong Yu’s smile became even more radiant and bloodthirsty.
“How does it feel to be tortured, little girl? Fighting alone isn’t a glorious thing, it can cost you your life at any moment. Do you think you’re like that guy? Taking on one of my great generals single-handedly.”
As he said this, his eyes revealed a fierce look.
In his view, everyone in the Security Bureau was a damned bastard!
“That guy?” Sima Shengnan was puzzled, but she still used her last bit of strength.
She summoned a skill card.
【Thousand-Mile Wind Chaser】
A cyan-blue crossbow suddenly appeared, and Sima Shengnan grabbed it and shot an arrow fiercely at him.
The moment the arrow left the string, its initial velocity was like a projectile fired from an electromagnetic gun, colliding with Murong Yu with a violent whistling sound.
Although the power of this crossbow arrow wasn’t as great as Luo Sheng’s 【Destructive Rock God Spike】.
But it had an extremely strong armor-piercing effect.
It instantly shattered Murong Yu’s energy shield, with cracks spreading around like a spider web.
The defense was quickly breached.
Murong Yu was heavily hit.
He slammed hard into the wall behind him, but he wasn’t seriously injured. He just spat out a few mouthfuls of dust.
He slowly walked down from the wall, looking quite disheveled, “You little brat, you’re asking for it!”
Murong Yu had been repeatedly outplayed by her.
Although the damage wasn’t great, it was extremely humiliating.
After all, he was a platinum-level Card Master, being humiliated like this by a gold-level Card Master, how could he face society in the future?
Murong Yu raised his huge fist, suddenly rushed in front of her, and punched Sima Shengnan in the abdomen.
Sima Shengnan was also hit by a tremendous force, then slammed into a metal wheel behind her, deforming the entire metal wheel.
This showed how great the force was.
Sima Shengnan coughed up a mouthful of blood, her entire body falling from the metal. The spear in her hand also turned into a card and flew back to her mental space.
A feeling of powerlessness washed over her, and she gradually fell into unconsciousness.
As Murong Yu slowly walked over.
Another fist was coming towards her head.
But a hand grabbed his fist, “That’s enough!”
