Chapter 290 The third mecha advancement

An arrow without a target.

Xu Jiang had heard about it once and experienced it for himself.

According to Sun Ping, his father Sun Wenzhan was shot to death by an arrow without a target.

After that, Xu Jiang was also assassinated by arrows without arrows, but he escaped with his [Golden Body].

That assassination incident was accompanied by the siege and killing of him by the Faceless Men.

So Xu Jiang always thought that the mysterious man holding a bow and arrow belonged to the Faceless Ones.

Now it seems that there may be another force at work.

Assassinate the leader of Beijiang City, assassinate Xu Jiang, and plan to attack Yong'an City. If Xu Jiang hadn't unexpectedly come here today, I am afraid that the mysterious man would have escaped.

After all, [Targeless Arrow] is not a unique skill. Arrows with certain characteristics can also achieve similar effects.

Even if you confess truthfully after being arrested, I'm afraid you won't receive much attention, and you will only think that you are exonerating yourself.

But Xu Jiang knew that there was indeed a powerful archer who could kill Sun Wenzhan and make him feel the suffocation of death.

"How did he contact you?"

"A letter of invitation was placed directly in my safe." The middle-aged man named Dong Lisong is the boss of the entire Storm Military Industry.

Being able to put the invitation letter in his safe without anyone noticing, this means and strength must be taken seriously by him.

On the day of the meeting, many people came, many of whom chose to conceal their identities. Naturally, some were dissatisfied.

But just as he was about to leave, he was shot to death by an arrow.

"His bow was silver, open like cicada wings, and had inexplicable seal characters engraved on it. When the bow sounded, the world seemed to tremble, and then the man died."

Dong Lisong's description is exactly the same as the attack Xu Jiang experienced. There is no doubt that he is the same person.

"Did he introduce his name?"

"No, but [Yanshi] was also present that day. When he saw the bow, he murmured in a low voice: It's you."

Oh it's you?

It seems that [Yanshi] recognized the identity of the other party, so he chose to cooperate.

With [Yanshi]'s neurotic attitude, she would not wear a cloak on any occasion, and because of this personality, the person who can make her cooperate obediently is definitely not an ordinary person.

Xu Jiang knocked on the armrest of the sofa, his eyes cold: "So you know whether there is any public participation, but you also cooperate obediently with strangers?"

"Because... the temptation is too great." Dong Lisong rubbed his face with his hands, his eyes full of regret.

Storm Military Industry was once brilliant, but unfortunately it fell into decline later.

The reason for their downfall is that the spiritual realm they relied on suddenly disappeared one day and became the electronic waste dump they are now.

But this time when they went to attend the meeting, they saw opportunities again.

The organizer did not make him pay any price. On the contrary, they also received a lot of resources.

It was like giving it away for free, allowing Storm Military Industries to soar in strength in just two years, which made them want to seize power.

"Actually, we have already considered the problem of the Faceless Crows. You can check the battle report. When we bombed the Yong'an Building, we also targeted the Faceless Crows."

"Really? But you killed more civilians than Faceless."

What's the difference between atoning for one's sins through wanton killing and a caring person rescuing a dog and then opening a dog meat shop?

"Tell me the list of all the forces you know." The secretary behind him suddenly said.

Judging from the headset she just put on, with its lights flashing, it was obvious that this sentence was conveyed to the Rabbit City Lord.

Dong Lisong did not dare to be vague and read a few names silently.

But the little secretary shook his head: "What you mentioned, the special service team has already found out. We want the list of the forces in the outer city."

"Outer city forces?" Dong Lisong was stunned: "I didn't know that there were outer city forces participating."

"Impossible. If there were no outside forces involved, how would you know the backup secret passage at the bottom."

Yongan's huge losses this time were also due to Rabbit's insufficient forecast.

There are two roads leading to the [Dark Abyss].

One is a passage used by scientific researchers on daily basis. Rabbit was worried that some insiders would be bribed, so he put a lot of protection in it in advance.

Unexpectedly, the Faceless People took another route.

And that channel is the registration channel that Rabbit made in the Six Cities Alliance.

If something unfortunate happens to him one day, the managers of the other five cities will be responsible for the seal of [Pandora's Gate], which serves as the last emergency entrance.

Only Rabbit knows about it in Yong'an, and there are no more than ten in the whole world.

This is also the reason why Rabbit suspects that there is involvement from outside the city. Who revealed this information is very crucial.

"But we never wanted to go to the bottom floor! Our goal is to occupy the Yong'an Building." Dong Lisong told the truth.

Judging from the fighting style, Jiuchuan and other mercenaries are only responsible for causing trouble, with no purpose at all, and are pure cannon fodder.

Storm Military Industry wanted to replace the city lord and attacked the upper floors of Yong'an Building in one go.

The Faceless Men have a clear goal, pointing directly at the [Dark God Machine].

"So... what is the target of the mysterious archer? What is it?" Xu Jiang raised his own question.

As the organizer of the entire war, this mysterious force spent a lot of time planning Yong'an. What is its final goal?

No one can answer this question.

Xu Jiang's eyes flickered a few times and he gave Dong Lisong a look: "Let all your men go out. I have something to say to you alone."

Dong Lisong's cronies instantly became nervous. If they go out, what if Xu Jiang takes action?

"Get out, if Xu Jiang really wants to attack me, you can't stop him." Dong Lisong is worthy of being the leader of a force, and he still has some courage.

He waved his hand and asked all his subordinates to leave.

He lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep breath: "They have left, what do you want to talk about?"

Xu Jiang smiled slightly: "Let's talk about ways to keep you alive."

…

The bodyguards who had been kicked out of the conference room were waiting anxiously outside the door.

Those who could follow Storm Military Industry to this point were loyal subordinates present, and they were very worried that Xu Jiang would be detrimental to their boss.

Fortunately, Xu Jiang and the others came out in just a cup of tea. Judging from their relaxed expressions, there should be no serious conflict.

Xu Jiang just reminded everyone in front of everyone: "Boss Dong, remember our agreement and hand over your property in Yong'an to the special service team."

"I got it." Dong Lisong's face was very calm, and there was no sign of emotion or anger. The negotiation should have been reached smoothly, and everyone at Storm Military Industry breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it was right to find Xu Jiang. No one wants to die if they can live.

Of course, the most unhappy person in the room was the poisonous rat.

Ying Xiaoxiao waved to the two mascots: "Yi Zi, Xiao Zhen, come here too. The third lady asked us to take some more photos of the battlefield when we go back. You can also take a photo."

"1,2,3..."

Click!

Seventeen groups of people, plus Mo Duo who joined in the fun, kept taking pictures around the poisonous rat. It can be predicted that he will definitely make the headlines tomorrow morning.

The iconic crab prosthesis is useless even if it’s marked on the face.

He thought about refusing, but Ying Xiaoxiao kept the spear in his hand, and the lightning flashed. It was really scary, and he could only lie on the ground in frustration, looking at Xu Jiang to ask for help.

It's a pity that Xu Jiang didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Picked up the communicator and started chatting with the Rabbit City Lord.

"Sir, City Lord! I helped you solve a big problem. Would you like to lend me some money?"

"Borrow money?" Lord Rabbit City was a little strange: "You are about to become a billionaire, and you still want to ask me to borrow money?"

"Billions of farts, what you gave me is a dividend, I can only get it next month at least."

Xu Jiang will indeed become a rich man, but that will happen later.

He made an agreement with Rabbit to help resolve the Black Ring crisis. The profit from the red stone crystal mine produced there would be divided between them 40-60.

Xu Jiang gets four copies, but there is no need to worry about operational issues;

Rabbit gets six copies and needs to be responsible for management, mining, sales, and future stronghold establishment. It is a happy situation for everyone.

But the money is not so easy to get.

"It won't work next month, it's expected to take three months." Rabbit extended the time for dividends three times.

"No, you are a black-hearted rabbit, want to default on your debt?"

"Of course not, but there is a giant red stone turtle in Red Stone Town. The special service team can't deal with that thing. At least I have to go into seclusion."
