Chapter 700 Accepting the Mission

Catherine said, "Cocktail, you just killed two squads from the Enforcement Department. Tian罰 will arrest you at all costs. From today on, you stop all actions and temporarily leave New York or hide in a gang dungeon for a while."

Cocktail hesitated, then nodded, "Just right for a drunken binge and a few days of sleep."

After all, Tian罰 was an official organization, the strongest law-abiding organization in the world. If they really got serious, Cocktail would still be a little scared.

The reason they were able to successfully counterattack this time was because they received information in advance, knowing the number of members, levels, and detailed deployments of the other party. This allowed them to fight more with less and wipe out the other party.

But if the seed saints from New York took action, carrying several top-quality props, Cocktail didn't have the confidence to counterattack. It would be better to avoid the limelight.

"Bacchus, Hecate, Tongtian Jiaozhu, the three of you are responsible for this mission."

The other three raised their eyebrows, especially the masked member who seemed to be a sea monster, who snorted coldly, "Catherine, although you are the vice president, you can't be so biased towards your own people."

In his opinion, this kind of low-risk, high-reward mission was simply a benefit the organization gave to its members.

How could this benefit be snatched away by a foreigner?

Catherine leaned lazily against the back of the chair and said lightly:

"Hecate can force the target into a deep sleep, and Tongtian Jiaozhu can kill people in their dreams. The combination of the two is almost certain death below the Lord stage. So, why should I give the mission to you, Hydra!

"Of course, if you can get the Five Elements Alliance members to go on a sea trip, this mission can also be given to you."

Hydra? That seems to be the name of a sea monster in mythology. This guy really is from the Church of the Sea God. Well, maybe he's a rogue cultivator..." Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

The name Hydra almost explicitly stated the masked man's profession.

But Zhang Yuanqing believed that Hydra shouldn't be his Lingjing Xingzhe ID, otherwise it would be too stupid, and his identity would be locked down in minutes. Furthermore, names like "Hydra" from mythology are usually popular IDs.

The kind that can't be bought even with in-game currency.

"Don't try to trick me with that!" Hydra snorted coldly, "Sea monsters have powerful combat power on land as well. I must participate in this mission. If you can't add a spot, let this Dream Weaver withdraw."

"What if I don't want to?" Zhang Yuanqing stared at him coldly.

Hydra smiled coldly, "The Hunter Guild has a rule that conflicts between members can be resolved in the arena. Once you're in the arena, it's a fight to the death! This is also the rule of most black market arenas."

He stood up, stared down at Zhang Yuanqing over Cocktail, "Do you dare to go to the arena!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Dream Weaver from the Second District suddenly get up, point his finger like a pistol at him.

Almost at the same time, Cocktail, Bacchus, Hecate, and the person who was also wearing a cloak and mask, stood up one after another, pointing their fingers like pistols at Hydra.

In an instant, Hydra was "besieged" by the peak saints in the meeting room.

He froze instantly, standing there in confusion and astonishment.

Zhang Yuanqing's expression was indifferent, "Arena? When you repeatedly mentioned the arena, you were already showing your fear, because as a sea monster, you only dare to duel me in the arena. But the real battlefield is never the arena! If this place allowed for life and death, you would already be a dead man."

This time, Hydra didn't dare to say anything crazy, standing there dumbfounded.

He was scared.

At this time, Bacchus and others had already reacted, looking blankly at the "pistol" they had made with their fingers, then looking at Zhang Yuanqing, they put away the contempt in their eyes and turned to fear.

Just now, they had completely regarded Hydra as a mortal enemy, full of hatred and hostility, and subconsciously followed Tongtian Jiaozhu's lead.

Was this the ability of a Illusionist to manipulate emotions? To make people fall into it unconsciously, only needing a guide, a trigger, to make emotions explode.

Catherine was also stunned for a moment. She had thought her warning had worked, but she didn't expect Tongtian Jiaozhu to choose silence, and was brewing this move.

Directly scaring Hydra and deterring the other saints.

Catherine glanced at the dazed Hydra, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"You can rest assured about the people I recruit. They won't be worse than you. The three people participating in the mission stay, and the others exit the Lingjing."

She waved her hand, and Cocktail and two members wearing cloaks and masks disappeared from the meeting room.

Who is the other one? Wrapped so tightly, must be a Lawful profession, just don't know which organization they belong to…" Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

These two should be Fallen Ones hidden in Lawful organizations, and not comparable to small spies like Emma.

He originally wanted to implant seeds of emotion in the sea of consciousness of the two, so that he could rely on the seeds to locate them after leaving reality, but this was the Lingjing. Zhang Yuanqing was worried that his small actions would be noticed by the president of the Hunter Guild.

He wouldn't do things where the benefits didn't outweigh the costs.

"You guys discuss it!" Catherine's eyes swept over the three of them.

Hecate said first, "Catherine, you should know that my sleep ability doesn't distinguish between states and forms. As long as something has consciousness, it will be forced to sleep, even in dreams."

"You don't have to worry about that!" Zhang Yuanqing maintained his cold persona, "I am the master of dreams. Your sleep spell can at most weaken my state. If you want to make me sleep, wait until you reach the Lord stage."

Dream Weavers are masters of dreams.

Bacchus touched his wine-soaked nose, "Guys, what we need to discuss is how to lure out the Five Elements Alliance team. After successfully hunting the magic beast Haas, they will definitely be afraid of retaliation from the Biological Alchemy Society, and will shrink in the Tian罰 building and dare not come out. You know, no evil profession can sneak into the bank building silently."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately asked, "Why?"

He had heard Catherine mention it last time, and originally wanted to inquire within Tian罰, but he forgot.

Bacchus glanced at him, "Give me one million federal coins, and I'll sell you the information."

Hecate chuckled, "No, Bacchus, for such important information, you should charge two million federal coins."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, feeling the contempt and disrespect from the two.

Catherine said:

"There is a rule-based prop in the Tian罰 building called the Eye of the Sky. It is dormant most of the time, but once it awakens, it can observe the entire New York.

"Its observation is very terrifying. It can directly see the character card of the Lingjing Xingzhe, thereby distinguishing the true profession. The Tian罰 building is constantly under its gaze. Once an evil profession sneaks into it, it will warn."

Zhang Yuanqing felt a bit of scalp tingling. It was the first time he had heard of a prop that could directly see the character card.

Did the Eye of the Sky see long ago that I am actually a Night Wanderer? Damn it, I'm more dangerous than an evil profession..." He was panicked inside, pretending to be calm on the surface, and said:

"Since it can observe the entire New York, why not use it?"

Catherine explained:

"The Eye of the Sky is jointly controlled by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Prosecutor, and Administrative Minister. All three must be present each time the Eye of the Sky is awakened.

"The Eye of the Sky can only be used for five minutes at a time, and the price is five days of blindness. Even for a Lord, losing their eyes is very fatal. Those three will not use the Eye of the Sky unless it is an emergency."

So that's how it is. Fortunately, I didn't use the heart's ability to replace the character card, otherwise I would have been caught on the spot by the Eye of the Sky..." Zhang Yuanqing was a little scared.

"So, how are we going to lure out the members of the Five Elements Alliance?" He asked, while amplifying the arrogant emotions of his two companions.

Hecate yawned, and said lazily:

"It's very simple, send people to cause trouble in the areas under Tian罰's control. The more the better. Tian罰 doesn't have enough people, so the Five Elements Alliance team will naturally come out.

"As long as the people from the Five Elements Alliance dare to come out, I will create a closed area. Within ten minutes, I should be able to wipe them out."

"A very simple method, whether it will be effective or not is not certain!" Zhang Yuanqing looked at Catherine, and said, "Do we have people inside Tian罰? They can help create opportunities."

Catherine thought for a few seconds, and nodded, "Yes, I will have someone cooperate."

Another spy can be found…" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

Next, Bacchus and Hecate discussed the detailed plan for hunting the Five Elements Alliance team, completely ignoring Zhang Yuanqing. When the two had almost finished discussing, Hecate turned her head and looked over, saying:

"You listen to orders, no need to worry about anything else. Catherine, I want to go back to sleep."

Bacchus also touched his nose, and urged, "I want to drink."

Catherine looked at Zhang Yuanqing, who said lightly, "I have no problems."

Catherine raised her hand and waved gently.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes blurred, the scene presented a wavy shape, and then became clear. He returned to the luxurious private room of the Japanese massage and health club.

Catherine was still curled up on the single sofa. She lifted her skirt, revealing the round and white roots of her thighs, and said with a smile:

"The moonlight is really beautiful tonight, what do you think!"

"That's right!" Zhang Yuanqing nodded, and then, in Catherine's suddenly brightened gaze, activated the dream traversal skill, and said, "So, I'm going out to see the moonlight."

After saying that, he jumped into the dream and disappeared, leaving behind a stunned beauty.

.........

Leaving the health club, Zhang Yuanqing quickly traversed and jumped in the dream, appearing in a five-star hotel's suite in Kings County.

On the soft double bed, a man and woman who had just experienced a piercing exercise were sleeping in each other's arms.

Zhang Yuanqing picked up the phone on the bedside table, grabbed the man's thumb, unlocked the screen, entered the president's phone number, and chose to dial.

The ringtone rang for a long time, and finally connected. The president's voice came: "Who is it?"

"The Sun Lord you invested in!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"You changed your phone?"

"No, I'm an avatar, the phone is with the main body. I'm applying for a meeting, I have important information."

As soon as Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking, he saw an additional figure in the bedroom, wearing mustard-yellow pajamas and a silver mask, it was President.

The president glanced at the sleeping couple on the bed and shrugged: "Now is the time to sleep with my wife, say what you have to say quickly. Also, change your habit of calling in the middle of the night."

Zhang Yuanqing also shrugged: "For Night Wanderers, the new day has just begun. President, I hunted the magic beast Haas."

"I heard." The president shrugged again.

Zhang Yuanqing also shrugged: "Got some important information."

He told the president the whole story of the evil camp waiting for "opportunity" and attempting to destroy the Church of the Sea God.

After listening, the president was silent for a long time, and said slowly:

"So, posing as if they were going to take down the Merchant Guild is purely acting? They want to weaken the power of the Lawful camp in New York, and then wait for an opportunity to send all the high-level members of the Sea Monster profession back to the Lingjing...

"Heh, Tian罰 is too strong, the Merchant Guild is too slippery, and the Goddess Association is unwilling, so they chose the Church of the Sea God?"

"So, what is the opportunity that the evil camp is waiting for?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

President shook his head: "Don't know, I'm a demigod, not a true god, it's impossible to know everything. With the current unhurried fighting state of the evil camp, the opportunity they are waiting for should not come so quickly."

Zhang Yuanqing also told him about finding a spy, and said regretfully:

"The Free Federation's spy system is very mature, even if you find one, it is difficult to bring out a string. Judging from Emma's situation, each Lord of the evil camp controls several spies. We have to hunt Lords of the evil profession."

"Small fish and shrimps are not our target." President said:

"Yuanshi, what you are looking for are the big figures of the Free Federation, such as Catherine, they are the backbone members, these people are hidden in the Lawful organizations, but they may not be elders, their identity in the Lawful organizations may just be an ordinary member."

Zhang Yuanqing pondered: "Then my next goal is to find Catherine's 'real body'?"

President said: "Have you slept with Catherine?"

"Why ask that?" Zhang Yuanqing couldn't quite keep up with President's train of thought.

"You just joined the Hunter Guild, she is your superior. If she dies, you will likely be abandoned or marginalized by the Hunter Guild. So she cannot die for the time being, you have to wait until you have accumulated enough merit, even if you leave her, you will be reused by the Hunter Guild. At that time, she can die." President said:

"Find an opportunity to sleep with her, preferably make her addicted to you and trust you."

Zhang Yuanqing's expression suddenly became serious: "President, although I am a very broad-minded person, I cannot abandon my integrity for the sake of the overall situation."

"I will find a way to waive the prostitution fee for you."

"President, for the sake of the overall situation, I am willing to abandon my integrity."

President nodded with satisfaction: "You take this opportunity to kill Bacchus and Hecate, find out their superiors. We don't kill Catherine, we kill other Lord-level backbones."

Zhang Yuanqing's eyebrows jumped: "You want to escalate the war to the Lord level?"

"Of course!" President laughed: "Can't let the evil camp lead the rhythm, they want to slowly weaken the strength of the Lawful camp, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the Sea God Church. I just want to escalate the war and drag the Lords into the water."

It's a pity that I have to wait until the end of the year to be promoted to Lord…" Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

The two conspired for half an hour before President snapped his fingers and left the hotel room.

Zhang Yuanqing deleted the call record, put the phone back on the bedside table, listened to the breathing and snoring of the couple on the bed, and thought about the Hunter Guild's mission.

This was an opportunity to make the evil camp lose two more peak saints.

New York is an international metropolis, and the number and quality of Lingjing Xingzhe are stronger than other states, but even so, peak saints are extremely limited.

Although due to the constant conflicts between the two major camps, experts from all over the world have come to join in the fun, and both the official and evil organizations have transferred manpower to participate, Zhang Yuanqing estimates that the two major camps combined, the peak saints (experience value above 90%) will not exceed thirty.

And experts like Bacchus among the peak saints will not exceed ten.

If he could counter-kill Bacchus and Hecate, maybe he could really force the Lords to enter the field.

"This matter cannot be reported to Winnie, nor can the official forces be used for counter-ambush, otherwise the Hunter Guild will realize that there is a spy inside, and the new member Tongtian Jiaozhu will definitely be the primary suspect."

"To counter-kill Bacchus and Hecate, and not have any flaws… then I can only expose a little strength. Yuanshi Tianzun's props can be used in part. Anyway, there is Yuanshi Tianzun's widow in the team, and the direct leader of the Five Elements Alliance support team is Fu Qingyang. As everyone knows, Fu Qingyang is Yuanshi Tianzun's good buddy and received part of his legacy... Jumang using Yuanshi Tianzun's props is very reasonable!"

After making up his mind, Zhang Yuanqing "snapped" his fingers and disappeared into the hotel room as starlight.

........

The next day, ten in the morning.

After Zhang Yuanqing had breakfast, he went to the office area. As a top illusionist, he immediately noticed the deep, repressed atmosphere. The top of the bank building was almost filled with negative emotions.

Sadness, anger, irritability, caution… everyone's emotions were negative.

The front desk, who was usually idle and liked to watch short videos and fitness exercises, was standing straight, her face tense, and her expression cautious.

He bypassed the front desk and came to the Five Elements Alliance's office area, and saw Yuan Ting walking over with a grave expression, "On the way here, did you feel that the atmosphere was not right?"

Yuan Zhi'shi first sold a pass.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at him and said expressionlessly, "Two teams from the Enforcement Department sacrificed, a total of eighteen people, seven saints, two of whom were Level 6 wind mages!"

Yuan Ting immediately looked like he had swallowed a fly, unable to spit it out, and uncomfortable swallowing it. His expression twisted for a while.

He gritted his teeth and silently bypassed Jumang, standing at the entrance of the office area, preparing to ask his colleagues one by one, in case someone didn't know.

Zhang Yuanqing poured a glass of water, turned on the computer, logged into the Tian罰 forum, and saw the announcement post from the New York branch.
