264: Chapter 264 Leng You's Backup Plan

Secretary Wu Ming's legs couldn't help but tremble; that primal fear of the unknown made him stare wide-eyed, his body feeling as if it were filled with lead, unable to move at all.

"Did someone pay to buy my life? I can offer you double the price..." He heard Leng You's voice.

His boss, whose voice was always in control, was now trembling in a way he had never heard before.

A thick sense of despair rose from the bottom of his heart: It's over, I'm going to die...

This is a safe house deep underground, after all, and the signal shielding is extremely strong; it's equivalent to an isolated space where it's impossible to send any distress signals to the outside world.

The console, the only thing that can send messages, requires time to start up. This is truly a hopeless situation!

Xing Yaoyan still didn't speak, but instead slowly walked forward a few steps, the oppressive feeling mixed with murderous bloodlust rushing toward them.

Seeing this, Leng You hurriedly made a stop gesture.

"Honorable Star Cult Priest Young Miss... Is there some misunderstanding between us? Let's all sit down and talk it out..."

Xing Yaoyan stopped her steps.

"See, let's just talk. I still have great utility value, and I can bring you many benefits! Things like the Star Soul Ritual, I developed them and gave them to you first..."

"Heh..."

A cold, chilling snort was like an icy dagger piercing Leng You's throat, causing the words he hadn't yet spoken to get stuck in his throat.

This sound was like a final ultimatum, symbolizing the determination to kill him.

"Sigh..."

This helpless sigh made Xing Yaoyan's expression change slightly.

She had originally thought the opponent was at his wit's end; after all, even if there was one fifth-tier Esper left who used a bow and arrow, as long as she utilized "Mist Form" and "Swap" well, taking him out was just a matter of time.

As for Leng You? Although he was a sixth-tier, his Superpower attack power wasn't strong, and he could only serve in a support role.

Of course, he might have other technological means, but she had a trump card prepared specifically for him, so she wasn't afraid.

Suddenly, the panicked expression on Leng You's face disappeared, replaced by a look of deep disappointment.

He turned and sat back down on the sofa leisurely, crossing his legs, the soft cotton cushion slowly sinking under his movement.

"What a pity... I've acted like this, and I still couldn't pry any information out of your mouth... To be honest, you aren't a mute, are you..."

"Bang!"

The sound came from outside the door.

The door that should have been locked slowly opened, and two figures wearing masks and intricate formal wear stood quietly at the entrance.

"This is Mr. Ming..." Xing Yaoyan recognized the other party's identity almost instantly from this iconic formal wear.

"Oh no..." she thought to herself.

From Moss, she had vaguely received information that Mr. Ming was a seventh-tier Esper, and that Cleaner from before had also come with him; judging by the aura fluctuations on his body, he was also around the fourth or fifth tier.

Moreover, the feeling he gave her wasn't weak; he was even terrifyingly strong.

After all, her Malice Perception wouldn't lie; the colors on both of them were very red.

She could barely handle one seventh-tier, and with another expert here, her plan this time would definitely be difficult to execute.

Someone definitely leaked the information...

Xing Yaoyan didn't believe it; given the meticulousness of this plan, how could there be the variable of these two experts at such a time?

In the plan, Crystal Coin would first use the Star Cult's original special operation in Youfeng City to attract all the high-tier combat power in Youfeng City.

She would then use the Superpower mark obtained from Ning Yunyan to contact that ordinary secretary through personnel arranged by Crystal Coin, thereby hiding in Secretary Wu Ming's shadow to take advantage of the situation.

Furthermore, she activated the Star Swallowing Art and used "Stealth" mode; aside from seventh or eighth-tier experts, no one else could possibly detect her, and even those seventh or eighth-tier ones would have to be relatively close.

Her infiltration was absolutely successful; this could be clearly seen from Leng You's expression just now...

She also knew that Leng You would definitely keep some Puppets he had subjected to Soul Washing as insurance.

But he was only a sixth-tier, after all; the people he could completely Soul Wash shouldn't exceed the fifth tier, and with her strength, she could still handle them well.

But what she completely didn't expect was that such a complete plan was abruptly interrupted by these two uninvited guests!

She absolutely didn't believe that no one had tipped him off, causing Leng You to go to the Dark Pavilion in advance to recruit manpower.

So... who exactly leaked the information... Crystal Coin? Other priests? But what benefit would they get from doing this?

Seeing the two extraordinary-looking people outside, Secretary Wu Ming's mindset felt as if it had once again ascended from Hell to Heaven.

So the Mayor had predicted this long ago; he is truly worthy of being the Mayor!

Without waiting for Xing Yaoyan to think for too long, Leng You spoke again:

"Those two, the Star Cult people have arrived. This transaction can be considered officially established... I'll leave the rest to you two..."

"Secretary Wu Ming, let's go..."

Hearing his name called, Secretary Wu Ming was immediately so moved that tears streamed down his face.

He really followed the right person; the Mayor was even thinking of him while retreating; he was so touched!

Just as he had taken a step and was preparing to run toward Leng You, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Almost without any warning, black Qi wrapped around sharp claws and swiped toward the feminine-looking man sitting on the sofa, who seemed not to have reacted in time.

How is that possible? How did she get over here!

Everyone present hadn't expected why the Priest, who was clearly far away over there, could instantly cross such a long distance, directly bypassing the defense line in the most unsolvable way to go straight for Leng You's head.

But that young man in formal wear still had a slight change in expression; perhaps he was the only one present who, in such a critical situation, keenly noticed the watch slowly falling at Xing Yaoyan's original position.

[Ding! Detected spiritual power fluctuations of Superpower "Swap" and "Mist Form", already recorded.]

The System's voice rang in his ear at the right time.

Qian Mo frowned, thinking to himself that this fourth-tier Star Cult Priest's methods were indeed strange; she could actually use two Superpowers at the same time...

"System, can you analyze the opponent's background?"

[Ding! Host, don't rush. After all, the System has just upgraded, and plus your own strength isn't that great, so the analysis speed isn't that fast.]

Listening to the System's words, Qian Mo was speechless.

Before, in order to test the System's new functions, he had specifically found many teachers in the school to test it, and it could even list the detailed data of a fifth-tier Esper within ten seconds.

The opponent was clearly only around the fourth tier, so how could it take so long?

He always felt like there was something wrong...
