205: Chapter 205 Extremely Cunning
That day, Chu Xuan did not participate in any further Specter hunting. Instead, he and Tang Zheng packed their things, preparing to head to the Capital after tonight.
In addition, he arranged a seven-day tour of the Capital for Tang Zheng's parents, and they left Haicheng by plane that night.
Late at night, Chu Xuan gave Tang Zheng a tattoo.
There were quite a few words this time, covering his entire back, and he didn't tell Tang Zheng the specific content.
After finishing, Chu Xuan asked, "Your parents have arrived in the Capital, right?"
"Yeah, Headquarters arranged a place for them to stay. I have no more worries now. I'll give it my all tomorrow."
Tang Zheng rubbed his hands together, his excitement hard to hide. "Now, shouldn't you tell me who Azure Dragon really is? I'm practically itching with anticipation."
"If I tell you now, I'm afraid you'll show some abnormality and be found out. After all, there's no room for error in reality."
Chu Xuan shook his head. "If you run into danger tomorrow, you escape first. Don't worry about me. Once you're in a safe place, look at the tattoo on your back."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zheng was stunned. He instinctively tried to turn his head to look at his back, his body twisting into a bizarre posture.
"Just listen to me!"
Chu Xuan suddenly pressed Tang Zheng's shoulder. "Remember what I once told you? As long as you're alive, I won't necessarily die!"
Tang Zheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded heavily. "I understand."
Chu Xuan patted Tang Zheng's shoulder and then called Zhang Qiang.
"Uncle Qiang... the person I trust most here is you. Help me prepare another armed helicopter. I'll be flying out tomorrow. Don't let anyone else know about this; have Luo Xiaotian handle it."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Zhang Qiang found Luo Xiaotian and whispered instructions, "Arrange a helicopter. Fill both the main and auxiliary fuel tanks."
"What's wrong?" Luo Xiaotian asked in surprise.
Zhang Qiang replied, "Chu Xuan is worried that Azure Dragon might tamper with the fighter jets arranged openly. He plans to fly out in our internal helicopter tomorrow. Go handle this now. Keep it low-key and don't let anyone notice anything's wrong."
Luo Xiaotian's expression turned solemn, and he left immediately.
Zhang Qiang watched Luo Xiaotian's retreating back intently, his eyes narrowing and veins bulging on his forehead as he repeatedly muttered two words: "Azure Dragon... Azure Dragon... Hmm?"
Suddenly, the cigarette in Zhang Qiang's mouth began to go out. He quickly took a few deep puffs to relight it.
"Damn it, what bad luck..."
Looking up, he saw that raindrops had begun to fall from the sky at some point.
This rain also fell on the banana leaves outside the villa in the Research Base's living area.
Amidst the pitter-patter of the rain, Tang Zheng asked with a frown, "Didn't you say there's a Specter inside Luo Xiaotian and that Azure Dragon could be watching through it at any time? Why did you specifically name Luo Xiaotian to handle this?"
"Feign an advance while taking a hidden path."
Chu Xuan stood by the window, watching the rain intensify, and slowly spoke those words.
Tang Zheng's brow was deeply furrowed, his heart filled with confusion and curiosity, unable to guess what Chu Xuan was planning.
That night, many people were unable to sleep.
Also that night, Qin Qing went to the Haicheng Air Force Base.
June 18th, 5:29 AM.
Chu Xuan lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Entering the dream again!
...
...
"Never trust anyone!"
...
When Chu Xuan woke up, it was the same old routine.
First, check the spirituality value, then the time, and finally, check if there were any chat logs from Future Tang Zheng on his phone.
His spirituality value had decreased by 100 points, leaving 834.
It was exactly 5:30 AM, and Future Tang Zheng had already sent an unread message.
[Tang Zheng: Chu Xuan, you must have entered the dream again, right? I've come back to life, and a massive amount of new memories has appeared. The world seems to have undergone major changes again...]
Chu Xuan was in no hurry and waited quietly.
Two minutes later...
[Tang Zheng: Chu Xuan, I think I saved the world... No, to be precise, we saved the world together! It's just a pity that you've been dead for three years. You seemed to have anticipated everything; how did you do it?]
Saved the world?
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly. He didn't dwell on it and immediately asked: [We'll talk about other things later. First, tell me if you caught Azure Dragon and if you fully explored his memories. Everything I wanted you to do was tattooed on your back; you should have done it all, right?]
[Tang Zheng: I have done everything you requested.]
Chu Xuan took a deep breath and then let out a long exhale: [Then, tell me who Azure Dragon really is. One of his current identities is Ming Xiucheng, but who is the other? And exactly when will he switch today?]
[Tang Zheng: Azure Dragon's true identity is Han Cheng. Ming Xiucheng is an assimilated Clone. Ming Xiucheng and Han Cheng have been the same person from start to finish!]
[Tang Zheng: Han Cheng only faked his death. He is currently fishing by the lake in Jiabao District, north of the city, wearing a black outdoor suit and a beige cap. At around 10:20 AM today, he will switch identities and give chase as White Falcon.]
Chu Xuan suddenly clenched his fist.
Han Cheng!
This was the Night Watchers mole Chu Xuan had initially suspected, but he had been eaten by a Specter, and his mangled remains had been seen by the Night Watchers team, so Chu Xuan had overlooked him.
At the time, he thought Ming Xiucheng, the big boss, was the mole.
As it turned out, Azure Dragon's true identity was actually Han Cheng!
It seemed those remains back then had definitely been tampered with...
This was a case of killing himself to pull off a "Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell" maneuver; it truly was sinister to the extreme.
A cold light flickered in Chu Xuan's eyes.
Now that he knew the opponent's identity and exact location, getting rid of him would be simple.
[Tang Zheng: Han Cheng also has a self-awakened Talent, and his ability is Copy. It can be used once a day. If he needs to use it multiple times in one day, he, like us, must spend additional spirituality value.]
[Tang Zheng: Its effect is to select a target within a certain range and randomly Copy one of the target's skills. This skill could be an awakened Talent Skill or a Transcendent Skill from an Evil God's Authority.]
[Tang Zheng: Although a skill obtained through Copy can only be used once, they can be accumulated through copying and used at any time. Once the accumulated copies reach ten, the copied skill becomes a permanent skill.]
[Tang Zheng: Once a permanent skill is generated, the original owner's skill will be affected, becoming weaker and weaker over time because it will be unknowingly absorbed by the copied skill.]
[Tang Zheng: Among them, an Evil God's Sequence Skill is limited by rules. Without special items or having entered that sequence, it can only be leveled up to Level 3 at most. However, awakened Talent Skills are not subject to this restriction and will grow stronger as the individual's power increases.]
[Tang Zheng: Additionally, the strength of a self-awakened Talent Skill lies in its absorption of Rule Dispersion. Because a copied skill lacks the enhancement of rule fragments, it is much weaker initially, but it can also be strengthened by absorbing the original owner until it replaces the original skill.]
[Tang Zheng: The only drawback is that a copied skill cannot be used within a certain range of the original owner.]
