Chapter 186: Long Street Killing! Mechanical Army!
Taiyuan.
In a restaurant on a spacious and prosperous main street.
Ni Kun sat in a street-facing box on the third floor of the restaurant, sipping warm and sweet rice wine while looking at the street below through the open window.
There is a fortune-telling stall on the street right opposite the window.
Ding Chunqiu, dressed as a fortune teller, sat behind the stall, closing his eyes and resting leisurely.
With his elegant appearance that has a bit of really looks like a fortune teller who knows the mysteries of heaven, destiny, and can make accurate predictions.
Diagonally opposite the fortune-telling stall, there is a small stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Jin Jiuling was dressed up as an old man with gray hair and beard, frying sugar-roasted chestnuts with a hunched back. Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu was dressed up as a taciturn black-faced man, responsible for collecting money and packing chestnuts.
Tianjun Xiying set up a chess stall not far away, and Dongfang Bai, dressed as a scholar in male clothes, sat on the stall and played chess with him.
The two chess masters were fighting back and forth, enjoying the match to their heart's content. Chen Xuanfeng and Shi Wanbao were standing beside them as spectators, pointing and talking, looking as if they were addicted to chess and wished they could play in their place.
Mei Chaofeng dressed up as a black-faced country girl, carrying a basket of rice cakes and selling them on the street.
Wen Caiting dressed up as an old woman and set up a stall selling pancakes on the street. Bai Qing'er dressed up as an ordinary-looking girl and helped her.
Xiaoqing and Tsunade dressed up as dandies and sat in a Huji restaurant diagonally opposite, each hugging a Huji girl, drinking and gambling with dice.
Zhu Yuyan and Kankan dressed up as a pair of sisters, selecting silk fabrics in a silk shop.
All members of the investigation team went into battle, forming a classic long street assassination formation from Gu Long's novels.
Of course, this was not Ni Kun's arrangement.
This was what Jin Jiuling, the world's number one detective from Gu Long's world, did. Ni Kun wondered if he had encountered similar situations many times before, so he always had a strong desire to imitate?
After all, this world's top detective had a strange personality. When he saw other criminals using clumsy methods and looked down on them, he often thought that if it were him, he would be able to handle the case perfectly. Then, thinking this way, he put it into practice.
By the same token, Jin Jiuling had also encountered this kind of assassination on the long street many times, and then felt that the assassins' methods were really clumsy. If it were me, I would definitely be able to make the assassination perfect, right?
Of course, this was not an assassination, but an attack aimed at capturing Li Jiancheng alive.
If everything went well, Ni Kun might not even have to take action, and Jin Jiuling and others would be able to successfully capture Li Jiancheng.
However, Ni Kun felt that things might not go so smoothly.
The "mysterious masters" around Li Jiancheng are very likely related to those world-destroying "demons" outside the domain.
"Sir, what are you thinking about?"
Across the table, Li Xiuning saw Ni Kun staring out the window in a daze and couldn't help but ask softly.
Her martial arts skills are average, but her identity is extraordinary. There is certainly no place for her in a plan like the "Long Street Assassination".
"Nothing." Ni Kun smiled and said, "I just think everyone's disguise skills are quite good. If I didn't know who is who in advance, I really couldn't recognize them one by one at first glance."
Li Xiuning smiled and said:
"Even we can't recognize them, so it should be even more impossible for Big Brother's people to recognize them. This operation may really be successful without you taking action."
Ni Kun smiled, but didn't tell his guess. He just said calmly, "Just wait and see."
Li Xiuning said with anticipation and some worry: "The time is almost up..."
After a while, a team appeared from the east side of the long street.
It was Li Jiancheng's team.
Li Jiancheng was riding a handsome white horse, and was driving the horse at slow pace with a wooden face. There was no trace of emotion in his expression and eyes.
Li Yuanji, a man of strong build and ugly appearance, rode a chestnut horse with a large iron spear hanging on his saddle. He rode side by side with Li Jiancheng, with the same deep eyes and expressionless face, showing no emotion.
There were only six infantrymen in front and behind the two men, wearing light armor and wearing swords on their waists. They looked like ordinary personal guards.
However, when the twelve lightly-armored infantrymen, six in front and six in the back, appeared in his field of vision, a hint of surprise immediately flashed in Ni Kun's eyes.
Because even with his powerful spiritual perception, he was unable to sense even a trace of flesh and blood from those twelve lightly armored infantrymen.
There was only a lifeless and cold feeling, as if the twelve lightly-armored infantrymen were just twelve puppets made of stone or metal.
You can tell from the outside.
Those twelve lightly armored infantrymen were all living human beings.
There was nothing unusual about his facial features, skin, or hair.
When walking, their steps were very natural, and they even had different micro-expressions and small movements.
Looking at the twelve lightly-armored infantrymen who looked like real people but whose spiritual perception was seriously out of place, Ni Kun felt a stronger sense of weirdness in his heart, and whispered to himself:
"Are they... the so-called 'mysterious masters'?"
At this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, under the "protection" of the twelve lightly armored infantrymen, were about to enter the ambush circle of Jin Jiuling and others.
Just as Jin Jiuling, who was disguised as an old man roasting chestnuts, secretly gave a secret signal to remind everyone to prepare for action.
An accident happened suddenly.
A plain-looking, nimble light-armored infantryman walking in the front looked around, his sight swept over Jin Jiuling, Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu, Dongfang Bai, Xi Ying and others, then he suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist, making a "stop" gesture.
The other eleven light-armored infantrymen moved in unison and stopped at the same time in exactly the same pace.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who looked numb, were distracted for a moment, but continued to move forward. Only when their horses' heads were about to hit a lightly armored infantryman in front of them did they hurriedly stop their mounts.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?" Li Jiancheng asked in a deep voice.
"Some people have problems." The lightly armored infantryman who told the team to stop raised his hand and pointed at Jin Jiuling:
"His appearance is seriously inconsistent with his physical functions. And he...
He pointed at Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu:
"The density of his bones and muscles far exceeds that of a normal person, even that of an average martial arts master."
Then he pointed to Dongfang Bai who was playing chess:
"She is a woman."
He also pointed to Xi Ying, Shi Wanbao, and Chen Xuanfeng:
"They used a lot of special clays and ointments on their faces, which greatly changed the facial features."
Then he pointed to Mei Chaofeng, who was dressed as a black-faced village girl:
"Her original skin color was not that dark. She applied a lot of plant pigments on her face."
Then he pointed at Wen Caiting and Bai Qinger:
"One's body functions are seriously inconsistent with his old appearance, and the other has a human skin mask on his face."
He pointed to the Huji Restaurant, where Xiaoqing and Tsunade were sitting on the street, each holding a Huji and touching him:
“They are women too.”
For a moment, except for Ding Chunqiu who had not disguised himself, and Zhu Yuyan and Kankan who were in the silk shop and not exposed, all the members of the investigation team who were in disguise and lying in ambush on both sides of the long street were identified one by one by these unremarkable light-armored infantrymen.
He also pointed out the "flaws" in them one by one, which should not have been discovered by ordinary people or even martial arts masters.
For a time, Jin Jiuling and others who were identified were in a difficult situation.
What the hell is going on?
Everyone's disguise was so superb that they couldn't recognize each other when they were standing face to face, and had to use secret signals to identify each other.
They all have the ability to conceal their auras. As long as they are not face to face, even a master martial artist cannot easily identify everyone, right?
Are the eyesight of Li Jiancheng's men so terrible?
How could such a talented person condescend to become a lightly armored infantryman who doesn't even have a horse to ride?
Everyone was complaining in their hearts and turned their eyes to Jin Jiuling:
You were the one who set up the trap, and now it's been exposed, what should we do?
Jin Jiuling was also feeling annoyed.
I really wanted to investigate the case but there was no way. I finally got the chance to set up this Long Street Killing Scheme. I thought I could set up a perfect scheme and beat those Long Street Killers whose schemes and disguises were full of loopholes and I could easily see through them. But I didn't expect that the idiot was actually me!
Forget it, I won’t pretend anymore.
Anyway, our military force is strong enough, and any one of us is a master capable of ruling a region. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji only have twelve light-armored infantrymen. Even if they are the so-called "mysterious masters", can they still turn the tables under our hands?
Thinking of this, Jin Jiuling laughed loudly, using his hearty laughter to cover up the embarrassment and annoyance in his heart.
At the same time, his hunched body stood straight, the air of old age and decay was swept away, replaced by a majestic and majestic aura of a master.
“Good eyesight!”
He exclaimed loudly:
"I never thought that the eldest son of the Li family would have such a talent under his command! I admire you so much!
"May I know your name, brother? If you have such abilities, why do you want to be a lightly armored infantryman without even a horse under Li Jiancheng? If you join the Qin Empire, with your abilities, you will easily gain wealth and glory! Why don't you think about it carefully?"
As he spoke, the people on the street whose disguises were exposed put down what they were doing, stood up, and surrounded Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others.
Xiaoqing and Tsunade in the Hu Ji Restaurant opposite also pushed away the Hu Ji in their arms, stood on the balcony, held the railing, looked down, and stared at Li Jiancheng and his party with a fierce look.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, and one side in the conflict was Li Jiancheng, the lord of Taiyuan, and his rather cruel brother Li Yuanji, the other decent vendors and small merchants quickly packed up their stalls and fled.
When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji clashed with others, ordinary people did not dare to watch. At most, they would stay away and find a safe place to watch from afar.
Not only did the vendors quickly leave, but nearby shops also began to prepare to install door panels.
Ding Chunqiu also pretended to be a passerby, and quickly packed up the fortune-telling stall, looking like he was going to run away with the crowd.
Zhu Yuyan and Kankan from the silk shop also came out, hid in the corner far away, and watched curiously with their heads peeking.
In the blink of an eye, this spacious main street became quiet.
Only Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and the surrounding investigation team were facing each other quietly.
The lightly-armored infantryman who was asked by Jin Jiuling for his name and who was persuaded to surrender looked at Jin Jiuling expressionlessly and had no reaction to his words.
Li Jiancheng said calmly: "Are you from the Qin Dynasty?"
"good."
Everything had been exposed, and there was no point in hiding it, so Jin Jiuling simply admitted it:
"We are here on the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor to investigate the truth behind the assassination of Duke Tang."
Li Jiancheng said calmly: "You want to arrest me and question me?"
Jin Jiuling smiled slightly:
“If the eldest master is willing to cooperate, that would be the best.
“All those who came this time are masters, great masters, and super great masters. Even if the eldest young master’s twelve guards are not ordinary soldiers, I’m afraid it will be difficult for them to protect the eldest young master.
"Instead of resisting in vain and causing more casualties, why don't you cooperate with us, find out the truth about your father's assassination, and give him justice?"
Xi Ying also said calmly:
"Li Jiancheng, as a son, do you want to conceal the truth for the murderer and not avenge your father's death?"
Li Jiancheng smiled strangely:
"You guys... do you still think this is what happened 20 years ago? Just because you have great martial arts skills, you can look down on the nobles, treat the princes with contempt, and run rampant across the world?
“Masters, great masters, super masters, the world is different now, the times are different now.
"I actually really hope that you can succeed. Unfortunately, your plan was too poor and was seen through at a glance. This makes me... really dare not put my life in your hands!"
Li Jiancheng's words sounded very meaningful, and the implication of his words seemed to be that he was really under some kind of coercion, just as Li Xiuning had guessed.
But what he said was so vague and confusing that it was hard to understand.
Even Ni Kun had no idea what Li Jiancheng meant by these words.
Are they really being coerced and forced to do so, sending out signals?
Or is it just pure ridicule?
Or... is he just pretending to be nice, but has evil intentions?
When Jin Jiuling heard Li Jiancheng mocking his "poor planning", he felt sore and said coldly:
"It seems that the eldest master doesn't want to cooperate properly?"
Li Jiancheng shook his head slowly. "I've said before, times have changed. You guys are too careless. I don't dare to entrust my life to people like you."
Jin Jiuling nodded and said slowly:
"In this case, we have no choice but to... force the young master to come with us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu, who had been waiting impatiently, was the first to take action.
boom!
He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and as the stone slabs of the street shattered, his body seemed to shrink into an inch. In an instant, he rushed in front of the lightly-armored infantryman who had exposed everyone's disguise, and punched him with a shout.
The fist tip broke through the air, causing a loud sonic boom. In front of the fist, a visible milky white air wave was squeezed out, which slammed into the chest of the lightly armored infantryman with an indestructible force.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu's punch hit the light-armored infantryman's chest solidly, causing blood and flesh to fly all over his chest, and juice to splash everywhere, creating a deep dent, and then hitting a black "sternum".
clang!
The fist hit the "sternum", making a loud sound of metal clashing.
The eldest brother stopped punching, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was filled with shock:
“You are not human!”
That’s right, these lightly armored infantrymen are not human at all.
The "flesh and blood" splashing on its chest was actually just some viscous black liquid with a metallic luster, and its texture was like mercury. And after being blasted by Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu's punch, the viscous black liquid seemed to have life after landing, and quickly gathered towards the light-armored infantryman and merged into his feet.
At the same time, the wound on the light-armored infantryman's chest healed rapidly, and he even had to wrap the eldest brother's fist.
The eldest senior brother was startled and was about to retract his fist, but the lightly-armored infantryman showed a strange smile, and with a lightning-fast thrust of his right hand, he firmly grasped the eldest senior brother's wrist.
At the same time.
Jin Jiuling, Xi Ying, Dongfang Bai, Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng, Shi Wanbao, Wen Caiting, and Bai Qing'er also took action, each attacking a light-armored infantryman.
Jin Jiuling grabbed a short-handled large iron hammer from under the roasted chestnut stall, flashed in front of a lightly armored infantryman, and swung the large iron hammer weighing dozens of pounds like a light wooden stick, smashing it hard into the lightly armored infantryman's forehead.
The light-armored infantryman did not dodge or evade, with a blank expression on his face, and used his crown to take the blow. With a loud bang, the light-armored infantryman's forehead burst open, splashing black liquid, revealing a bone-colored skull without a skull cap and an empty head.
Before Jin Jiuling could express his shock, five or six black tentacles made of mercury suddenly emerged from the shoulders of the lightly-armored infantryman and pierced Jin Jiuling like lightning.
Xi Ying waved his hand and activated the Purple Qi Heavenly Net.
The purple true energy was like a net, tightly wrapped around a lightly armored infantryman, easily strangling him to pieces.
Just as he was about to make further efforts to crush his bones into pieces, the Purple Qi Heavenly Net that could break gold and split stone and burn like fire was stuck on his bones and could not move forward even an inch.
The lightly-armored infantryman suddenly raised his hands, which turned into two bright silver swords. He crossed them and chopped towards Xi Ying's head like lightning.
Dongfang Bai threw out several silver needles, which turned into several points of faint blue starlight and pierced into the chest of a lightly armored infantryman.
However, this blow did not pierce his body or shatter his internal organs like usual. It only blew a few black holes in his chest, revealing his black sternum, and threw him backwards.
Chen Xuanfeng's Nine Yin Divine Claws, Mei Chaofeng's Falling Flowers Sword Technique, Shi Wanbao's heavy sword, Wen Caiting's Oracle Bone Dragon Claws, and Bai Qing'er's Round Golden Finger all hit the lightly armored infantrymen who had no time to dodge.
But the result was exactly the same as that of others. Although it seemed that their targets were beaten to pieces and blood was splattered, the lightly armored infantrymen did not even shake, and counterattacked with expressionless faces.
Ding Chunqiu, who pretended to slip away, also took action.
He leaped over from behind a wall and suddenly pounced on Li Jiancheng.
A lightly-armored infantryman leaped up to intercept him. Ding Chunqiu slapped him on the crown of his head with disdain, and then used the Beiming Divine Art to suck him dry.
But what surprised him was that the lightly-armored infantryman had no power to absorb. Instead, a black metallic liquid with a mercury texture quickly spread from his forehead, immediately enveloping his palm...
Everyone who took action was a master.
But after a fight, the masters failed to kill a single light-armored infantryman. Instead, they were shocked by their immortal bodies and strange body structures. Several people were nearly injured by their counterattacks.
Ni Kun, who was looking down from a high place and had a panoramic view of the battle situation, suddenly realized the origins of these so-called "mysterious masters".
Those twelve lightly armored infantrymen were clearly the Rev-9 legion robots in "Terminator: Dark Fate".
A killing machine that is more advanced than the T800 Terminator and T1000 Liquid Terminator and has stronger stealth capabilities.
The metal skeleton of this "Legion" robot is almost indestructible and can withstand anti-tank rocket bombardment without any damage. The liquid metal attached to its skeleton can also withstand various physical damage and high- powered explosion damage.
Given the sturdiness of the Legion Robot's body, ordinary warriors want to destroy it...
Unless it has a more powerful output power than the generator rotor that rolled in the Rev-9 in the movie.
Because even that large generator rotor would only cripple the Rev-9.
It's an almost perfect killing machine.
The only drawback is that the output is a bit weak.
If it does not carry weapons, it can only transform into tentacles and cold weapons, and it does not have a plasma cannon like TX.
Just as he was thinking this, Ni Kun saw that the flesh on the right hand of the light-armored infantryman who was fighting with Ding Chunqiu melted, revealing black bones, which then quickly reassembled into a small plasma cannon, which blew Ding Chunqiu's upper body into pieces with one shot.
Well, this is the world of reincarnation, everything is possible.
