Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 2788
Chapter 2788: Invasion, Spider Tank!
After a thousand years of war between the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation, billions of citizens of the Star Glory Federation had been captured. Most of the citizens of the Star Glory Federation had become members of the Star Glory Federation after being brainwashed. They even returned to the Star Glory Federation as spies and became the most secretive and dangerous cancer cells.
Therefore, if the fourth core member of the yaksha squad was just an Immortal Cultivator who had been deeply brainwashed, Li Yao would not have been so surprised.
What shocked him most was that the Immortal Cultivator whose code name was ‘Black Dream’ and whose name was ‘Yun Haixin’ was actually an Immortal Cultivator who had not been brainwashed and still retained all his emotions and memories.
There was no need to fake the internal files of the yaksha squad. Yun Haixin had been captured by the Sanctuary Alliance when the counterattack of the Star Ocean Imperium had just begun about twenty years ago. For some reason, he had not been sent to the temple for ‘purification’ and had been locked in a special prison cell. For some reason, he had chosen to cooperate with the people of the Sanctuary and join the yaksha squad for the most confidential operation to capture the heretics.
“What the hell?
“Why would the Immortal Cultivators of the Star Ocean Imperium, whose emotions, memories, and thinking were all intact, cooperate with the people of the Sanctuary Alliance willingly?
“Is he a coward who was coerced by the people of the Star Glory Federation? Or is he coveting the primeval techniques and ultimate arts that the people of the Star Glory Federation gave him? But first of all, although the Immortal Cultivators are brutal and brutal, few of them are so scared of death. They do have some integrity at the critical moment. Second of all, why did the people of the Star Glory Federation ask such an authentic Immortal Cultivator of the imperium, one who is wreathed in ‘demonic energy’, to join a sensitive organization such as the Inquisition, the Cleaners, and the Yaksha Squad?”
Li Yao could not figure it out at all.
However, he was more and more certain that the yaksha squad was part of a large-scale comprehensive experiment in the first place. Maybe the mission to hunt down the God’s Heart Association and the puppet king was the same as the purification missions of the ‘heretical children’ such as Tang Ka and Chu Zhiyun in Xinle City. They were all treacherous ‘testings’.
However, the more he read, the more suspicious he became.
It was not hard to tell that the leadership of the Heresy Interrogation Bureau, or rather, the super experts who were hiding in the background, trusted the ‘Ninth Special Investigations Team’ of the yaksha squad very much. They gave the yaksha squad extremely high clearance to mobilize all the facilities, magical equipment, and personnel within their range. As long as they were suspicious of anybody, they were free to kill whoever they wanted to.
The officers who were fighting desperately in the frontline, the high-sounding priests in the temple, and even the purifiers and cleaners who belonged to other operations teams were all targets for the yaksha squad.
Fortunately or unfortunately, every time they went on a killing spree and captured or even killed the leaders who were ‘absolutely not heretics’, there would always be sufficient evidence to prove that their instincts were correct. The seemingly pure and sincere guys were indeed heretics who had been hiding themselves for a long time.
The yaksha squad proved the success of the ‘experiment’ and the value of their own existence with their precise and efficient achievements.
But it was also because of their background and style that they were deeply guarded and alienated by their colleagues who had the ability to think, as if they were carrying an eternal curse.
“One of them is the descendant who maximized the combat ability of the most dangerous heretics in history. One of them is a barbarian who triggered the primeval genes and led to the mutation of super ancestors. One of them is a spectral Cultivator with seven soul fragments. One of them is a traitor who degraded himself to help the people of the Sanctuary. Such a splendid lineup is indeed eye-catching!”
Li Yao mumbled to himself, “Then, let me, ‘Vulture Li Yao’, figure out what is going on. I will lift the curse that has been deeply imprinted on your soul, restore your original appearance, and release the greatest strength that you possess as human beings!”
“You want to infiltrate the ‘Yaksha Squad’?”
The mental devil asked.
“Yes. It is the best choice.
Li Yao analyzed quickly, “Regardless of whether or not the yaksha squad can capture the puppet king, at the very least, they are extremely unstable experiment subjects. They must be closely watched by the leadership of the Holy Alliance and even directly monitored by the Great Sage. If we can infiltrate the yaksha squad without alarming anyone, we will definitely have a lot of opportunities to steal the core secrets of the Holy Alliance and meet the leadership of the ‘master’ level of the Holy Alliance, or even the Great Sage himself!
“It will be even better if we can follow their trail and find the puppet king. Whether the puppet king is good or evil, and whether or not the God’s Heart Association today is the same as it was a hundred years ago, we will still need to explore it.
“Maybe, the God’s Heart will fight against the leadership of the Star Glory Federation, and we will be able to take advantage of the situation.
“It’s a good idea, but there’s one thing that I need to pay attention to.
“You know that the yaksha squad is the most sensitive special squad of the entire Heresy Interrogation Bureau,” the mental devil said. “It is even a product of a test. All its details are very likely to be exposed to the eyes of the Great Sage all the time. If we sneak in, the risk of our identity being exposed will be greatly increased.
“… To get rich, take the risk!”
Li Yao’s soul tightened, as if he were gritting his teeth. “Without high risks, how can there be high returns? Exposing ourselves is a two-way street. If we hide in the corners of the fleet of the Star Glory Federation all the time, of course, we won’t be exposed, but we won’t have the opportunity to lock onto the Great Sage, either. What’s the point of hiding for a hundred years? The deeper we go to the center of the enemy, the higher the risk of being exposed will be. But we will be more likely to get in touch with the Great Sage, or even… the guy who is hiding behind the Great Sage and planning the entire ‘test’.
“Then beat the sh*t out of him.”
The mental devil.
“Yes. Of course!”
Li Yao chuckled in amusement.
“Alright. I agree with your proposal. I also want to know how strong we are when we ‘expand’ the current life form to the limit and whether or not we are strong enough to collide with the real ‘mastermind’ of the Sanctuary!”
The mental devil’s voice was full of confidence and fighting will. “If the yaksha squad is the target of infiltration, there is another advantage. When I was analyzing the files on the source of ‘Major’ Chu Zhixiao’s genes, I discovered that she had certain genetic samples and those of Tangka. The overlap is very high, indicating that they are related.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. “So, Chu Zhixiao and Chu Zhiyun have the same mother but the same father as Tang Ka?”
“No, no, no. It’s not that close. It can only mean that their father genes are from the same family.”
The mental devil explained, “But no matter how weak our relationship is, there is at least one possibility, which is that Chu Zhixiao carries the recessive ‘Black Spot Gene’ inside his body. Since we can sneak into Tangka’s brain, there is a good chance that we can sneak into Chu Zhixiao’s, too.
“Ah…”
Li Yao rubbed his hands in excitement like a thief who had seen an unlocked door.
“Of course, sneaking into Chu Zhixiao’s brain is definitely not as convenient as sneaking into Tangka.
The mental devil knew what he was thinking and hurried to add, “Firstly, Tangka is just an ignorant young man, and Chu Zhixiao is an existence in the Divinity Transformation Stage, or at least the ‘ultimate weapon’, after countless rounds of strengthening and refinement.
“Secondly, even if the constituents of ‘black pieces’ are really contained in Chu Zhixiao’s blood, they are dozens of times more diluted than those of Tangka. The corresponding ‘resistance’ must be much stronger, and he won’t be fooled by us easily.
“Thirdly, Chu Zhixiao is likely to be directly monitored by Master Zhi Shan. We want to tamper with her brain and be discovered within minutes.
“Therefore, I strongly suggest we not sneak into Chu Zhixiao’s brain from the very beginning. After all, in our current form, we are free to move between the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors. We can always find a piece of highly-intelligent magical equipment in the yaksha squad, crawl into it, lie low, and act accordingly.”
“I understand now!”
Li Yao said, “Are you saying that we can sneak into the automatic toilet of the yaksha squad? What a great plan!”
“I didn’t say that. You said that!”
The mental devil jumped to its feet as if it had been pricked by needles. “What I’m trying to say is that it is best to pick magical equipment that all the members of the yaksha squad carry with them, magical equipment that can be exchanged for a lot of information, and that will not be replaced easily, such as their crystal suits and armed shuttles…”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Combining the public combat videos of the yaksha squad that they had collected from the Spiritual Nexus, Li Yao and the mental devil started analyzing all the daily magical equipment of the yaksha squad.
Very soon, two souls tied up a virtual image at the same time.
It was a battle puppet in the form of a six-legged spider, with a diameter of two to three meters and a height of less than two meters. It had a dark red, strengthened ceramic shell, and at the end of its limbs were retractable pulleys that could allow it to move forward at high speeds. In front of the body were two retractable arms and four revolving cannons that were better than nothing. On the back of the high-rising body was a large amount of spiritual energy magnetic warfare and communication equipment.
“Type 3o2o Multifunctional All-Terrain Spider Tank boasts amazing communication, support, and maintenance abilities. Its small size allows it to pass through the complicated narrow tubes inside the starship easily. It is a spiritual puppet specially designed for super-large starships.
“The Spider Tank of the ordinary model is integrated with the functions of firepower support, magical equipment maintenance, and communication enhancement. The Spider Tank that the yaksha squad is equipped with is a product of the most cutting-edge technology of the Holy Alliance. It is a ‘super-strengthened model’ that is still being tested. It is integrated with mini crystal processors with extremely high computational ability and brainwave magnification coils in the smallest space, which will significantly improve its anti-magnetism ability and brainwave interference ability. It will help the members of the yaksha squad precisely control the stability of the brains of all the ‘soldiers’ and ‘worker bees’ in the area and give them a clearer understanding of the intangible Spiritual Nexus. In the most complicated and ever-changing environment, they will keep in touch with the Inquisition. It is an indispensable auxiliary magical equipment for the yaksha squad to carry out clean-up missions.
The two lines of information raised subtle waves in Li Yao and the mental devil’s soul.
The two souls looked at each other and whistled in excitement..
