Chapter 50 The BOSS behind the scenes
  Facing the inquiry, Ji Xiu's heart tightened and he didn't know how to answer the question.

At this moment, Secretary Lin's words flashed through his mind, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He looked up at the kind-faced great envoy and explained:

"Still investigating. It is speculated that after killing Han Yun, there may be someone with space ability who went to the room where Han Yun lived before us and took away the divine seal on Han Yun's body. This is because Han Yun's body cannot extract the divine seal. reason."

After hearing his explanation, a thoughtful look appeared on the great envoy's face, and then he stood up and walked out the door.

When Ji Xiu saw this, he immediately followed.

After passing through the invisible barrier and returning to the prayer hall where the altar was placed, the great envoy raised his hand and waved towards the altar. Suddenly, a fiery red bead embedded in the center of the altar slowly rose up to about one and a half meters above the ground. Hover.

The great envoy raised his hand and waved, and a stream of light flew out of his sleeves and hit the fireball.

The red mist that shrank and spread on the surface of the fireball dissipated like breathing. The surface of the ball continued to move across the face, as if searching for something. The great envoy also closed his eyes at this time.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiu's heart sank.

It turned out that the person who could sense and locate his soul was none other than this powerful envoy of the Yu Jing Kingdom.

But he was not worried that the great envoy would sense his soul.

According to the normal development of the plot, there are still 25 to 27 days before he is targeted for assassination.

If his location could be easily locked, he would have been assassinated before An An's arrival in the previous timeline, including Tong Wan's line, where he survived for more than a month before being assassinated.

So he definitely has buffer time.

The result was just as he expected. The great envoy slowly opened his eyes, his gray eyebrows furrowed:

"The other party's aura is blocked, and there seems to be an invisible gray mist barrier that blocks my perception of him."

"Great Envoy, what should we do...?" Ji Xiu followed suit.

"Don't worry, I can clearly feel that this gray fog barrier is being weakened. I need some time to break through this fog. I will inform you when I sense his location. If the other party's soul aura is too strong, I will Dispatch the power of the Saints and the military to deal with him, you don’t need to take action.”

Ji Xiu interpreted three messages from what the great envoy said.

1. It’s not that you can’t sense it, it just takes time to locate his identity sooner or later.

2. If the great envoy discovers that his soul aura is very strong, that is, if he is very powerful, the great envoy will mobilize the power of the saints group and the military to encircle and suppress him.

3. If he is found to be weak, the assassination task will be handed over to Xia Gengzhu, who will send Black Hole Organization killers to assassinate him.

……

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu cursed in his heart.

This simply doesn't give any way to survive.

He originally thought that the death crisis came from the Black Hole Organization, which could cooperate with Yujing Church, even the Saints Group and other Yujing forces.

If the black hole forces are aggressive and insist on keeping him in the cycle of infinite resurrection and death, he will use the ability to restart time to fight against the black hole organization. He believes that with the information he provides, the Yujing Church will definitely be able to destroy the black hole, this troublesome force.

For this reason, he even came up with several plans to fight against the black hole organization.

For example, undercover investigation of black hole organization information through soul transfer, etc.

But now the truth is revealed.

The real big boss behind the scenes turned out to be the Great Divine Envoy Zuo Yi, whose influence in Yujing's country was second only to that of the Divine Envoy High Priest. This did not give him any way to survive at all.

Zuo Yi has the power to mobilize the military, law enforcement, and saint groups at will. As long as his identity is locked, he can be easily crushed to death.

To explain the situation in the game, he was only a level 1 player when he first logged into the game, but he had to face the challenge of the ultimate BOSS.

It doesn't exist if it stays up and develops.

What a broken script!

At this moment, the fireball suspended above the altar extinguished and fell back to the center of the altar.

The great envoy turned around at this moment, reached out and patted his shoulder, a look of expectation appeared on his kind face:
  "Go back. I will let you enter Yujing Theological Seminary in three months. When I become the High Priest of the Divine Envoy, I will need your assistance."

Good guy!
  This statement is extremely informative.

What is the High Priest of the Divine Envoy? In An An’s words, the High Priest of the Divine Envoy is the agent of Yu Jingshen in the world. He is a man whose status is higher than that of the Great Divine Envoy and stands at the pinnacle of the power of Yu Jingguo. It can also be said that he is the leader of Yu Jingguo. A leader in the true sense of the word.

Therefore, the ultimate goal of this seemingly benevolent envoy is to seize power.

He wants to control Yu Jingguo!

Hiss~ You are an old boy, you are very ambitious.

He finally understood why Xia Gengzhu had never used the points of the Black Hole Organization, because Xia Gengzhu's ultimate goal was to assist the great envoy in front of him to seize power and become the high priest of the envoy. If the plan was successful, Xia Gengzhu would not be able to have anything he wanted.

When the time comes, if you want to activate special abilities, you will have them at your fingertips, and there is no need to exchange them with the black hole organization.

Although it is unclear what the divine seal is used for, it can be seen that the great envoy surnamed Zuo attaches great importance to the divine seal, and it is likely to be a key item for him to seize power.

……

Leave Yujing Temple.

On the way back, Ji Xiu felt tremendous pressure.

He originally thought that the process of investigating the truth of the assassination would be very tortuous, with many overt and hidden lines intertwined. Xia Gengzhu's line was not something that could be easily investigated.

But he didn't expect that the truth would appear before his eyes so easily. Using his identity as Xia Gengzhu, he directly saw the ultimate challenge hidden behind the scenes.

But the problem was not solved, but made him feel more difficult, because the great envoy was not a force that he could compete with.

How to break the situation, he could think of only two feasible paths.

First of all, the only person in Yu Jing's country who can suppress the power of the Great Divine Envoy is the Divine Envoy High Priest. If he can be informed of Zuo Yi's betrayal of Yu Jing's faith, he will definitely be able to get his help, and it should not be difficult to defeat this big boss behind the scenes.

But the high priest Shenlong, the envoy of the gods, has never been seen. He has not appeared in front of the world for many years. It is very difficult to see him.

Any report that can be connected to the high priest of the divine envoy will eventually appear in the hands of the great divine envoy "Zuo Yi" first.

He also thought about using publicity to break the pot and tell the world that the great envoy Zuoyi had already betrayed Yu Jing's faith and colluded with the black hole organization.

But if you think about it carefully, this behavior has no effect at all.

Whether Yu Jing people will choose to believe in him or the great envoy Zuoyi is not a multiple choice question.

The final result of this behavior will most likely be that he will be sent to a mental hospital for detention. The worse result will be that he will be sent to the execution ground and shot in the name of spreading false news and causing trouble for the country.

No matter which outcome, it would not threaten Zuo Yi's control over Yu Jingguo.

As for reporting it upwards, it is useless.

Law enforcement, the military, and the Saints group, none of the channels are reliable.

You Hong was assassinated by members of the troubled forces because he reported the mysterious ruins to the superiors of the Saints Group. It can be seen that the Saints Group has already had Zuo Yi's eyes on him.

It's no wonder that the Black Hole Organization can control the lottery organization in Yujing, and issue task rewards to Black Hole Organization members in the form of lottery tickets, but it has never been detected, because the insider is fully capable of protecting all seemingly unreasonable behaviors of the Black Hole Organization.

In addition to the high priest in the entire Yu Jing Kingdom, he also thought about trying to find the help of the other two great envoys. Maybe they could have a way to check and balance Zuo Yi who wanted to seize power.

But this road is not easy either. He checked the information before coming. Among the three great envoys of Yu Jingguo, the most influential was Zuo Yi.

Let’s not mention whether the other two great envoys can come into contact with them. Even if they do come into contact with them, there is a high probability that they will not be able to control the powerful Zuo Yi.

Another option he felt was feasible was to seek help from the Divine Heritage Team.

According to An An's description, the members of the Divine Heritage Team are not under the control of the Yujing Church. Their only responsibility is to protect the safety of Yujing Country and mankind. Each member has a powerful power that far exceeds that of the members of the Saints Team.

If a member of the Shenyi Team comes to help, Zuo Yi's plan to seize power may fail.

As long as Zuo Yi dies, the endless assassinations may come to an end.

How to choose? Ji Xiu decisively chose the second route.

He decided to wait for the time to restart after 25 days, use Li Tan's identity to contact Lei Yan or An An, inform them of Zuo Yi's betrayal of Yu Jing's faith and want to seize power, and use the power of the Shenyi Team to solve the problem.

……

Time flies, 25 days later.

Xia Gengzhu Residence.

Ji Xiu glanced at the calendar on his phone and knew that he was not far from death.

Putting down his cell phone, he reached out and picked up the electromagnetic sniper rifle placed on the desk.

The shape of this weapon is full of technological sense. The gun body is made of dark metal material. The surface has been specially treated to give a matte effect, which can not only reduce reflections but also enhance the overall concealment. The front end of the gun body is an electromagnetic transmitter. It is composed of multiple coils and magnets, which can generate powerful electromagnetic force in an instant. The barrel is made of high-strength alloy material, with six energy node lights on the surface.

After pulling the trigger, the gun body will be charged, and each time an energy node is lit, the power will increase.

He got this weapon from the weapons arsenal of the Law Enforcement Department. It is usually only used by those with extraordinary abilities when fighting against the forces of chaos.

But Xia Gengzhu's identity can be obtained directly from the weapons depot without applying.

Although death was inevitable, he didn't want to die in frustration.

The main goal is to kill one and earn one.

Putting down the sniper rifle, he came to the window, took out the key from his pocket, and reached out to press the start switch above.

Suddenly two machine guns rose up on the lawn, and the infrared induction scanning device started automatically, scanning the surroundings irregularly. As long as someone approached, the machine guns would automatically enter high-frequency shooting mode.

The metal rolling shutters on the doors and windows also automatically fell down at this time.

This defense system was not a temporary assembly, it already existed before he took Xia Gengzhu's body.

As the deputy manager of the Law Enforcement Department, Xia Gengzhu is the key target of protection from the chaos forces in the eyes of the Yujing Church, so Xia Gengzhu is given the authority to install a defense system. Once the defense system is activated, the house will turn into a watertight metal fortress.

He had thought about hiding in the law enforcement department and surviving one day longer.

But this choice makes no sense.

His opponent is the Great Envoy, who can make him die quietly in the Law Enforcement Department without any effort.

Instead of hiding in frustration, it's better to go out and fight.

Next up is...survival mode.

To this end, he prepared enough food for a month in the refrigerator in advance, transported a garage of weapons and ammunition from the arsenal, and planned to go crazy before he died.

Night falls.

While observing the outside world through the surveillance screen in the study, Ji Xiu took a sip of refreshing tea and put on the body armor and other equipment placed aside.

Fully equipped, he picked up the electromagnetic sniper rifle and went to the top floor, opened the window and scanned the surrounding environment through the night vision scope.

After waiting for several hours, no one entered Xia Gengzhu's residential area.

Ji Xiu, who had maintained his aiming posture for a long time, felt a little tired, but still managed to gather his energy and prepare to earn him one.

The time came to 4 o'clock in the morning, and just when Ji Xiu was about to go back to the bedroom to take a nap and continue to guard the killer at night, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing around him.

Subconsciously turning his head to look, he saw a familiar figure.

The great envoy Zuo Yi appeared beside him at some point, looking at him with puzzled eyes:
  "Xiaoxia, why is the divine seal on you?"

Seeing Zuo Yi arriving in person was a bit beyond Ji Xiu's expectation.

I thought a killer from the Black Hole Organization was coming, but I didn't expect that the ultimate BOSS would appear directly.

Apparently Zuo Yi sensed through the fireball and discovered that the divine seal was actually on Xia Gengzhu. He felt unbelievable and came to ask for the truth in person.

Facing the inquiry, Ji Xiu reached out and pulled out the pistol from his trouser leg, aiming it at Zuo Yi's forehead:
  "Why? Of course it's because I betrayed you, you can't even tell?!"

Although he realized that this shot would probably not hurt Zuo Yi, he still pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!
  The gunshot rang out, and after a short flight, the bullet flying out of the barrel of the gun was fixed in front of Zuo Yi's eyebrows, unable to move any further, as if an invisible hand had caught the bullet.

boom! boom! boom!
  Ji Xiu pulled the trigger one after another, but the bullets fired from the pistol were locked in the air by invisible barriers and could not threaten Zuo Yi's life at all.

Facing a powerful enemy, Ji Xiu sighed helplessly:
  "I can't beat him, so I voted."

"You are not Xiaoxia!" At this moment, Zuo Yi suddenly spoke, the lightness between his brows disappeared, and his expression became extremely solemn.

With that said, Zuo Yi stepped forward and patted his left shoulder.

In an instant, Ji Xiu felt a surging energy pouring into his body, moving rapidly through his body, causing him to feel pain like tearing.

This process lasted for a few seconds. Zuo Yi suddenly retracted his hand and said with a solemn expression:
  "There's nothing wrong with the soul, but I'm sure you're not Xiaoxia. Where did its consciousness go?"

After the words fell, Zuo Yi patted his shoulder again. Ji Xiu suddenly felt a sting all over his body and couldn't help crying out in pain.

"Does it matter to you where his soul went?" Ji Xiu gritted his teeth and asked with a trembling body.

Zuo Yi did not answer, but he saw anger that was difficult to conceal in Zuo Yi's eyes.

It can be seen that Xia Gengzhu seems to be very important to Zuo Yi.

This surprised him.

I originally thought that Xia Gengzhu was just a pawn in Zuo Yi's plan to seize power, but judging from Zuo Yi's reaction, it seemed that he valued Xia Gengzhu's safety very much.

"Thousand Faces Organization?"

"Just take it as such and be happy. As for Xia Gengzhu, don't even think about finding him. He's already dead."

Hearing these words, the anger in Zuo Yi's eyes could no longer be suppressed, and his voice became hoarse:
  "very good."

After the words fell, Ji Xiu's vision became blurred.

"relief!"

Ji Xiu murmured softly before losing consciousness to the outside world.
