When Gu Kai received the notice from Si Linge, he was a little surprised.

"Luoqiu City?" Gu Kai didn't understand why the Luoqiu branch called him to join the team.

"Because the center of that illusion is an artifact left by the gods." The person who notified him said on the phone, "They want to find the weakness of the artifact—you are the famous 'ghost hand' of our Si Ling Pavilion. Who are you looking for? However, you don't have to have too much psychological burden. The owner has already spoken, and if you don't want to, the Prevention and Control Bureau can't force you to go."

Gu Kai was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Si Qingxuan had probably taken over Si Ling Pavilion, so he was naturally the new Patriarch.

He pondered for a moment, asked some more details about the mission, and finally agreed.

Part of the reason was the generous rewards for this mission, and part of the reason was that he also wanted to see the legendary "artifact".

... How far is the gap between the domain of God and the domain of man?

With some sort of secret curiosity, Gu Kai took an inventory of his equipment in his basement, then took his weapons and prepared to meet up with other members of the action team.

As soon as he walked to the door with his bag on his back, Si Linge's car was already waiting for him.Then they took a plane and a train to transfer to Luoqiu City.Along the way, as long as there were issues that Gu Kai needed to consider, from itinerary, meals to luggage, Si Linge would arrange everything for him in every detail.

Gu Kai had never received such caring treatment before.

Before that, he also took on other tasks.But the support staff who approached him had never been so... accommodating.

Is this the special treatment given to the family head's cronies?

Gu Kai thought in a trance.

Soon, he successfully arrived in Luoqiu City.

As soon as he entered the Luoqiu branch, Gu Kai realized that the situation in Yanwei Town was indeed not good.Almost no laughter was heard in the entire Luoqiu sub-bureau, only the hurried footsteps of various staff coming and going... Few of the faces he saw when he looked up were kind and smiling, which showed that they All the staff are in a tense and exhausted "ready state".

Gu Kai pinched the strap of his backpack, frowned unobtrusively, and walked into the meeting room of the executive department.

Other than him, the two S-level awakeners and the two A-level awakeners are already in place.

The S-rank sent by Si Ling Ge is Zhou Tu, whose talent is the famous "Huntian". Although Gu Kai has no relationship with him, he also knows him.

Zhou Tu is a man with a rather classic appearance, with a high nose and thin lips, a pair of burning red phoenix eyes, as pleasant as nine springs, and there is a beautiful beauty between his glances.But this kind of beauty is not only gorgeous, but also has a hint of fierceness, especially his eyes, which are full of aggression.

But Zhou Tu himself has a very easy-going personality.In order not to let others misunderstand him because of his appearance, he even likes to wear a pair of round gold-rimmed sunglasses on the bridge of his nose - almost the same style as the fortune-telling magic stick under the overpass.

Right now, he doesn't look like a handsome man with a bad temper, but a disabled person who went blind at an early age.

Gu Kai sighed softly, and shifted his gaze to another young man beside Zhou Tu.This young man is thin and has a pair of eyes that are powerful, but he wears a mask tightly on his face, covering most of his face.

"Are you Gu Kai?" The young man wearing a mask asked, greeted him with just the right enthusiasm, and shook hands with Gu Kai, "I am the executive officer of the Yunjing General Administration, Ye Mingkong. By the way, I wear this The mask is not because I have a cold, but because I flew all the way here, and it is really cold in the sky, so I wear a mask to block the wind."

Gu Kai: "..."

Very good, this guy is sitting with Zhou Tu, he looks like an S-rank boss.

The remaining few teammates are also extraordinary.

A-level talent Yibei, a muscular man full of righteousness, talent "Rock and Soil Prison", whether it's his talent or his appearance, gives people an irreplaceable sense of security, his love for Gu Kai The attitude is not enthusiastic, but very polite; A-level awakened You Wu, a little rebellious, dyed his gray hair and dressed in punk. Before Gu Kai walked in, he was playing games with his mobile phone. After the movement, he raised his head, greeted Gu Kai from a distance, and then immediately immersed himself in the game, he was the least nervous of all.

After Gu Kai sat down, a person wearing an executive uniform came in and told them: In half an hour, the executive director of the Luoqiu City Branch will come to the meeting room to explain the action plan to them in person.Before that, the awakened people in the conference room can chat first to deepen their impression of each other, which is also good for deepening the tacit cooperation on the battlefield.

After the door of the meeting room was closed again, You Wu, who had been playing the game, raised his head, sighed, and said in a low voice: "They also know that the temporary team needs a certain amount of adjustment... Look, our team five All of them come from all over the world, maybe the sub-bureau where Yibei and I are located is closer... Can such a team really destroy the legendary artifact?"

"You haven't started to act yet, don't say such discouraged words." Zhou Tu pushed his sunglasses, his voice was deep and mellow, and You Wu was in a daze for two seconds.

You Wu said to Zhou Tu with a complicated expression: "Excuse me, it's indoors now, why do you still wear sunglasses? And senior Ye from the Yunjing General Administration, why don't you take off your mask?"

Zhou Tu: "I'm used to it."

Ye Mingkong: "Wearing a mask makes me feel safer."

You Wu: "..." Don't be like this, I'm very scared, this mission is already very dangerous, can you two still do it?

Seeing that You Wu was about to fall into silence, Gu Kai took the initiative to talk to You Wu and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there are five people in our team, are there any locals from Luoqiu City?"

"Yes." You Wu pointed to Yibei, "He is a native of Luoqiu. And I am from Shangkai City next door. Yibei and I used to see each other often in meetings."

Yi Bei nodded to Gu Kai, expressing his approval to You Wu.

"No matter how you say it, thank you for your willingness to help Luoqiu." Yibei said with a serious face, "The Luoqiu branch will not feel that you have forgotten your help."

"It's nothing. It's all about performing missions. I've long been used to going out to work in various places." Ye Mingkong said with a smile, "Don't worry, if something happens during the mission, I will protect you."

Then, they discussed for a while the formation to deal with a large number of strange creatures.

In group battles, formation is a very important thing.Zhou Tu's "Huntian" is mainly used to set up barriers around Yanwei Town, but after completing the big barrier, he can also enter Yanwei Town to set up some small barriers.Generally speaking, he is responsible for imprisoning the enemy and cooperating with the suppression.Therefore, it was arranged at the rear of the formation.

Ye Mingkong's "Storm" is an area skill, so he is in the center of the team, responsible for radiating the range of the storm to the entire battlefield with his eyesight.

Yibei had the highest defensive power, so he was placed at the front.You Wu's "Sunshine Blade" is fast and has high lethality. It is responsible for cooperating with Ye Mingkong to kill the enemy in the front; while Gu Kai is arranged at the end, wandering and harvesting, and protecting Zhou Tu from being shot down.

With such a formation, it is difficult to say which position is the safest.

Judging from the existing information, they only know that there are a group of "distorted" monsters in Yanwei Town.But they still don't know anything about the monster's attack method, the traps and dangers in Yanwei Town, so they can only discuss a rough plan first.

Half an hour passed quickly.

After chatting for a while, several people quickly became familiar with each other.

Buckle, buckle.

There were three knocks on the door of the meeting room.

The five people who were chatting and gradually gathered together returned to their original seats in an instant.The distance between them was not too far, but it was by no means close, revealing a vague sense of alienation.

Then, the door of the conference room was opened.The executive director of the Luoqiu branch came in - just like the faces Gu Kai met before, the executive director also had indescribable anxiety in his expression.

"Hello, everyone." The executive minister briefly greeted the five people, sat on the table in front of them, took out a few documents from his portable folder, and asked them to distribute them to the five awakened people present, " You are all elites, I believe you all already understand the mission of your trip, so I won’t go into details, and start directly from the current pollution situation in Yanwei Town.”

Open the first page of the information, it is the map of Yanwei Town.

That is a special map.Everywhere on the map, the color is uneven, ranging from red to blue, dark and light.

"This is an aerial aerial view, which is an intuitive reflection of the concentration of aura in Yanwei Town: the brighter the color, the higher the concentration of aura, and the more dangerous it is."

As he spoke, the Executive Minister paused for a moment before continuing: "In the beginning, we sent a contingent into Yanwei Town. Because we were concerned about the special talent of Jie Yu, the elder of the Church of the True Spirit, we did not dare to send out high-level awakened ones. ──In the end, the team was buried in Yanwei Town, and only one person came back. Unfortunately, although the casualties were heavy, we did not get much effective information. Later, the Luoqiu branch sent a group of investigators, and one A series of reconnaissance machines... Only then can I barely understand the situation in Yanwei Town."

"At the outermost part of Dovetail Town, there is a gray mist that never dissipates day and night. There are many black-clothed, distorted humanoid monsters in the mist, which we call 'Wanderers'."

The Executive Minister pulled out a gray photo. In the photo, the human figure was standing in a distorted posture. Where there should have been a face and limbs, they became distorted snowflakes, like an old-fashioned TV screen that was disturbed. The same snowflake screen will appear.

"It's not too difficult to deal with rogues. They don't do much damage, but they move very fast. Be careful."

The five nodded.

"Only when you break through the encirclement of wanderers can you truly touch the edge of Yanwei Town." The executive minister sighed, "From now on, you will come into contact with true True Spirit believers. There are also many ordinary people among the believers. If you can’t save it, then the primary goal is to clear the illusion. It’s best not to trust any human beings who show favor to you... because they may be true spirit believers.”

"Also, the most important points—"

"First, you must never listen to the sound of bells from anywhere. Second, you must stay awake at all times. Illusions are not only distorting everything around you, but also distorting your reason and spirit. You must learn to distinguish lies, Beware of all traps that lure you into false logic."

"Only absolute reason can guarantee that you will not be swallowed by 'distortion'."
