Chapter 498: Clearing Begins!
Both the Alliance and the Investigation Bureau house a large number of dangerous objects, and even some functional anomalies that cannot be eliminated are contained.
Normally, if someone wants to use the objects kept by the Investigation Bureau, they must first apply for it, and then go through layers of approval from higher-ups before they are granted permission to use the objects. However, if one has the ability to erase one's own existence and not be noticed, then obtaining these objects is very easy.
Items that have no safety measures and rely solely on human guarding can be taken directly, while items that require passwords or other methods to unlock restrictions can be obtained by people with the Mysterious Eye through unknown powers, and then they can easily obtain the items.
In other words , except Su Ming, no one in the entire alliance can stop the Mysterious Eye. If it is just a low-level soldier member, a strong man like Liu Lingshan can directly confirm the opponent's existence through perception and kill him.
But if it is a slightly higher-level general-level member, then even a strong man like Liu Lingshan will be unable to do anything to him.
If you want to kill the other party, you must see the other party, and if you want to see the other party, you can only join the Mysterious Eye. But once you join the Mysterious Eye, you will not be able to harm other people in the organization. This series of cause and effect forms a perfect closed loop, and the only one outside this closed loop is Su Ming.
But even Su Ming couldn't kill all the members of the Mysterious Eye in one go. They were scattered all over the place and would never gather together for any reason. If there was any unusual movement, these people would alert the enemy and escape with the alliance's dangerous objects.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely dangerous force that is almost impossible to deal with.
What Su Ming is going to do now is equivalent to killing someone in a busy city without being discovered by people around him.
To achieve this, one must kill the people around him in an extremely covert manner within a short period of time. Although the latter condition is easy to meet, the former is simply impossible.
The members of the Mystic Eye are scattered across islands around the world, hold important positions in the four major alliances, and have close ties with each other.
Unless Su Ming can get all the information of everyone in an instant like God, teleport to them and kill them all in one breath, it is impossible to meet the short time condition... After all, it takes a lot of time just to fly between islands.
Therefore, Su Ming chose the second method, which was to kill the target as quickly as possible and try to minimize the number of escapees.
This method is equivalent to a massacre with a machine gun in a busy city. Although there will be a lot of noise, the number of kills in a short period of time will be considerable. He asked Wei Yansheng for the massacre order for this purpose!
"Start now?" Liu Lingshan asked Su Ming.
Su Ming nodded: "Let's start from here!"
"Just stay with me." Su Ming took Xia Xiaoyu's hand and walked out the door.
Wei Yansheng sat behind his desk, watching Liu Lingshan and Su Ming leave. Seeing them leave, he once again smiled with relief.
"Not bad, really not bad." Wei Yansheng coughed a few times.
When he saw Su Ming, Wei Yansheng recalled the distant past. He remembered his first meeting with Liu Lingshan at home, and how he joined the Investigation Bureau and became a member of it despite his parents' opposition.
Everything that happened in the past is still vivid in my mind: the hundred-day battle with the armed forces that value superpowers above all else on the Forbidden Island; facing the Sword Demon together with my comrades, and winning the battle against the demon for the first time after a hard battle; the open and covert struggles with those corrupt officials; and the reluctance to switch from the militant faction to a civilian position.
With only eighty years to live, his life should be considered wonderful, right? Although he did not live as long as Liu Lingshan, and even Liu Lingshan's apprentice Sylvie was older than him, he is now the commander-in-chief of the alliance... Does this mean... that I, an ordinary person who may not live to be more than a hundred years old, have also done a pretty good job?
"The future really belongs to the young. Old guys like me are useless." Wei Yansheng sighed with a smile and opened the drawer next to him.
The file in the drawer is Wei Donglai's file. Wei Donglai is a person recognized by Liu Lingshan. He hopes that after his death, the other party will be the commander-in-chief of the Seven Gods Alliance.
However, in order to achieve this goal, a series of complicated arrangements are indispensable. With the advancement of the times, Liu Lingshan's influence is no longer what it used to be. He must help her and Wei Donglai pave the way.
In an instant, Wei Yansheng's mind appeared again the figures of Liu Lingshan and Su Ming standing in front of this office.
Fifty years ago, he had also stood in this place and applied for a document from the commander-in-chief of the Seven Gods Alliance in order to use an extremely dangerous containment object to save the people of a city.
And this time, the kid was standing there asking him for a kill order to save the world... He was much younger than he was back then.
Moreover, Liu Lingshan trusts Su Ming very much. Back then, Liu Lingshan did not have so much trust in him.
To be honest, he was a little jealous, but that's how most geniuses are, it's all about timing and fate.
…
Su Ming walked down one floor and started the cleaning activity, starting with the high-rise offices.
Su Ming took Xia Xiaoyu and Liu Lingshan, pushed open a door, and entered an office of thirty people. The moment they entered the office, the thirty people stopped their work when they saw Liu Lingshan, and looked ready to accept orders.
One of the middle-aged men in a suit and tie, when he saw Su Ming, quickly glanced at Xia Xiaoyu beside him. The nervous look on his face could not be concealed, and he showed a dull and extremely anxious state of inaction.
It is obvious that this person is not only a member of the Mysterious Eye, but also a high-level cadre who can naturally open up his power of insight and see Xia Xiaoyu around the clock.
Su Ming pointed at the man, and Liu Lingshan immediately understood. She jumped into the air, stepped on the table and leaped forward at an extremely fast speed!
The laptop of an innocent employee was stepped on and crushed, with folders flying everywhere. The employee stared at his broken laptop with despair on his face, as it contained the contents of his day's work.
Liu Lingshan's leaping movement suddenly stopped and she stood on the desk, not knowing what she was doing.
Su Ming also jumped onto the desk and swung his knife forward. Blood sprayed half of the wall and the middle-aged man fell to the ground dejectedly.
It was not until he saw the man fall to the ground that Liu Lingshan came to his senses and remembered what he had been doing.
“Aaaaaa——!!”
One person screamed, and the others looked at the leader with his throat slit, trembling, not knowing what to do.
If it were normal, the psychics here would have definitely taken action, because the one who would do such a thing is obviously an enemy, but the person standing here now is Liu Lingshan, the legendary S-level commissioner. Based on their understanding of this big shot, she would definitely not commit indiscriminate killings, so for a moment, everyone in the office had a nervous expression, but there was no unrest.
"Why...why?!" someone asked in surprise.
Perhaps the scream just now attracted the attention of the office next door. Hearing footsteps in the corridor, Su Ming instinctively turned his head to look at the door.
Groups of people rushed in. The first thing they saw was Liu Lingshan standing on the table, and then they saw blood all over the walls, as if a faucet filled with red paint had suddenly exploded.
Among the people who came in, one person's face changed instantly. Su Ming didn't hesitate and threw a knife out.
His throw was very accurate, but when it was about to hit, it hit an invisible barrier and the weapon was bounced away. The man Su Ming was targeting seemed to want to escape, but before he could do so, his head was burning with flames. In a moment, the burnt smell of protein spread throughout the office.
The female employee who screamed before was about to scream again, and Su Ming covered her mouth immediately.
The group of people who broke in took a fighting stance. Although they were not bloodthirsty fighters like the Investigation Bureau, their many special powers combined were still quite threatening.
At this moment, a low shout was heard, and the attention of everyone in the office was drawn to it.
"Calm down! Act impartially!"
Liu Lingshan held up the authorization letter for everyone to see. Everyone's face turned pale. Some clerks who had never seen a bloody scene and who came here on the bed for the professional examination were still trembling, and they were sweating coldly as if they had just been electrocuted.
"Why...why?" another person asked.
Liu Lingshan glanced at the other person calmly and said coldly: "Did you cheat in the entrance examination? Why would you ask why at this time?"
There are many reasons to find, such as cognitive memes, infectious memes, etc. At this time, letting them imagine it themselves is the best choice.
After hearing Liu Lingshan's question, the faces of these highly skilled talents with abundant strange knowledge suddenly changed, and everyone had their own guesses.
They stared at Liu Lingshan in shock with their eyes wide open, their lips slightly opening and closing, but they did not speak.
Want to ask but dare not ask - this is exactly what Su Ming and Liu Lingshan want to see.
Su Ming pulled out the long knife that had just been bounced away from the desk and calmly wiped the blood off the blade. He turned his head and glanced at the dead senior leader on the ground, and analyzed the situation in his mind again.
"He should be a general-level figure." Su Ming said coldly.
The levels of the Mysterious Eye are divided into soldiers, hands, generals, and kings.
Among them, the soldier-level people can make themselves invisible, eliminate sounds, etc., but their own existence can still be perceived by others in a more special way. The hand-level members do not have such concerns and can completely erase their own presence.
But people at the hand level can still be dealt with. For example, just now, if the leader who was hacked to death was at the hand level, he would most likely not be able to avoid Liu Lingshan's attack. Even if he could completely erase his presence, Liu Lingshan would still remember him, so he could execute the action of slashing at the air.
And at the general level, one can temporarily erase one's own cause and effect like Xia Xiaoyu did, so Liu Lingshan stopped just now because she forgot why she jumped onto the table.
"What a hassle." Liu Lingshan jumped off the table and glanced at the dead man. "I was quite optimistic about this guy."
Su Ming led Xia Xiaoyu out of the office, and Liu Lingshan followed closely behind. Before leaving, he said to the others, "Stay here and don't tell anyone. If someone finds out, tell him the details. Don't let the news spread, otherwise... everyone in the entire headquarters might die."
"Ming! Got it!"
"Should we dispose of the body?!"
After being frightened by Liu Lingshan, the others suddenly came to their senses and regarded this horrific massacre as a terrible operation to eliminate monsters, and actively cooperated.
"Just deal with it briefly. The main thing is not to let the news spread. If anyone notices it, tell them what I said." Liu Lingshan said.
Everyone in the office nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Su Ming felt that his master was indeed reliable. If he was the only one doing this operation, he didn't know how much time and effort he would have to spend. But with his famous master in charge, it was much easier to explain. He didn't even need to explain much. He could just make up a few words to let the people present understand the current situation.
Xia Xiaoyu witnessed all of this. She knew clearly what was going to happen next and also knew what her role was in staying by Su Ming's side.
She is a detector.
…
Su Ming and Liu Lingshan walked side by side in the corridor and started killing people in one office after another. Sometimes they even killed two or three people in one office. The situation was out of control for a while, but fortunately, after a brief chaos, all the follow-up personnel were stabilized by Liu Lingshan, who regarded this action as a stop-loss operation against high-risk monsters.
Sometimes, Su Ming would meet members of the Mysterious Eye when walking in the corridor. As he walked along, the ground was covered with blood and the whole floor was filled with the smell of blood.
After turning into the safety passage and going downstairs, Liu Lingshan asked, "Do you remember how many people you killed?"
"There are a total of thirty people on this floor. You and I killed half of them each. There are three generals among them." Su Ming replied .
"There are so many people on just one floor. If the ratio in other alliances is not far from that of the Seven Gods Alliance, then... it will be very bad." Liu Lingshan sighed.
Su Ming stopped, glanced at Liu Lingshan, and whispered, "Master, do you regret it?"
"I don't really regret it, but the impact was a bit big. If I had taken another path, there might have been better results," said Liu Lingshan.
Su Ming frowned: "Another way? Is there any other way besides this one?"
“Of course, joining the Mystic Eye is another way.
Although according to what you said, after joining the Mystic Eye you will not be able to harm other people in the same organization, your freedom of action will not be hindered. In other words, as long as there are enough people in the organization who share the same goal as me, I can suppress the other party politically. Although I cannot reveal their identity, I can stop them from doing whatever they want. This is also a solution.
Although it will take a long time to reach a balance, if it is successfully suppressed, there will be more time to think about solving the root cause. "
"I think this is wrong. It's too stupid to use rules made by bad guys to play against bad guys... I would rather solve it with violence!" Su Ming said coldly.
He had never thought about the path Liu Lingshan just mentioned, and it had never even appeared in his mind.
