199: Chapter 199 New Intelligence, Holy Radiance Crystal

He had not expected the invading thief to be so cunning.

Not only did he trick him into misjudging the cabinet, but he even used Firemen to trick him out of his last spare bullet.

"What are you jabbering about?"

*Smack—*

With a single slap, Captain Lei spat blood as he flew backward, and the gun that fell from his hand hung eerily in mid-air.

Shortly after, Chen Fan's figure gradually materialized.

After studying it for a moment, he tossed the handgun aside.

This was just a very ordinary handgun; it seemed the secret to the Tracking lay in the bullets.

"Now, it's my turn."

"I'll ask you three questions. If you can answer them, I'll spare your life."

Chen Fan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sunny smile.

"Just kill me. I won't answer any of your questions."

Captain Lei snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and refused to say another word.

"See, you're getting impatient again."

Chen Fan slowly extended his right hand and chuckled:

"In a while, not only will you answer my questions, but you'll also have to call me Master."

Captain Lei's eyes widened abruptly. He covered his rear with both hands, looking at Chen Fan with trembling lips:

"You... what are you trying to do? A gentleman may be killed, but not insulted!"

Seeing his reaction, Chen Fan frowned:

"Although in some cities you might look like a loli, I'm not into that!"

"Recruit!"

"Spirit Control!"

[Recruit failed. Special unit cannot be converted into a Crew Member.]

"What!?!"

Chen Fan's eyes widened in disbelief.

It was one thing that Old Ye had a special status and could not be recruited, but why could even Captain Lei not be recruited?

"You... what exactly do you want to do!"

Chen Fan's gaze made Captain Lei somewhat uneasy, and he shifted his body restlessly.

This action of his actually gave Chen Fan a bit of inspiration.

He would find a few Crew Members to rough him up and see if he could still keep his mouth shut.

With an evil grin, Chen Fan tossed a flame, incinerating all of his clothes.

"I've changed my mind, kid. Just bear with it."

He kicked Captain Lei over, forcing him to lie face down on the ground.

"You devil! What are you trying to do!?!"

"No! A gentleman may be killed, but not insulted!!"

Chen Fan scanned the system panel, repeatedly attempting to recall the Crew Members.

"Recall!"

[Recall failed. Too far from the main warship.]

"Recall!"

[Recall failed. Too far from the main warship.]

"Damn it, I'm not actually going to have to go up there and scare him myself, am I? That's disgusting."

"Recall!"

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and several soldiers materialized nearby.

"Huh!?!"

Chen Fan was pleasantly surprised; those who appeared were indeed soldiers from the City of Sin.

He had not expected these soldiers to be able to ignore the warship's restrictions and be recalled directly.

With a chuckle, Chen Fan waved his hand, and ten soldiers went up to pin Captain Lei down.

"Answer a few trivial questions for me, and I won't insult you. Otherwise, hehe..."

"You! Don't even think about it!!"

Captain Lei gritted his teeth, his face turning red. He exerted force to close his door.

"I hope you can still be this stubborn in a while."

Chen Fan chuckled and commanded the Crew Members to get to work.

Immediately, Captain Lei let out a wail.

He was a tough guy, the kind who was not even afraid of death.

But in such an awkward predicament, he still begged for mercy.

"I... I'll answer you, just make them stay away from me!"

"That's more like it."

Chen Fan waved his hand, and the soldiers stepped back a few paces.

After some interrogation.

Chen Fan learned that those Tracking missiles were also sent down by their so-called "Headquarters."

He toyed with a glass bottle in his hand.

The faint number "10" was displayed on the bottle.

"holy radiance crystal? Not a product of this world?"

"Yes, the energy in this is distributed by Headquarters every month. We don't even know where they get it from."

"What is the purpose of this thing?"

Captain Lei gritted his teeth, "To feed the Divine Beast."

"Divine Beast? What is that?" Chen Fan frowned slightly.

"It's... that thing that appeared inside Old Ye's body."

Chen Fan nodded slightly and swept his gaze toward Captain Lei, "You have one inside your body too, right?"

Captain Lei's pupils dilated abruptly, "How did you..."

*Bang—*

Captain Lei's head instantly burst apart.

Chen Fan activated Ghost Walk again, retreated outside the cubicle, and carefully examined Captain Lei's corpse.

A moment later, the alarm bells rang again.

"Intruder detected. Seal the building immediately."

An octopus, a size smaller than the previous one, crawled out from the corpse. Its tentacles extended in all directions, binding the ten Crew Members.

Soon, the Crew Members were completely devoured, and a screen of light appeared above the octopus's head.

It played the scene from just moments ago repeatedly.

"What on earth are these things?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

Over a hundred security personnel rushed in at high speed.

Chen Fan glanced at the octopus once more, then slowly retreated.

The purpose of this trip had been achieved, so there was no reason to continue staying here.

It was a pity that this octopus could not be stored in his space, otherwise he could have brought it back to study.

While passing by the stairs, Chen Fan looked at the steps leading to the rooftop, pondered for a moment, and then walked up.

"Is this the thing?"

Chen Fan exited the stairwell and looked at the transparent spatial fluctuation before him.

This teleportation array was more tangible than the ones downstairs.

The teleportation arrays downstairs only appeared when Old Ye was teleporting.

But this one in front of him was indeed permanently present.

Just as Chen Fan was about to step forward to investigate, the space around the teleportation array began to tremble.

Raising an eyebrow, Chen Fan immediately hid.

A moment later, a group of people stepped out of the teleportation array.

Another old man wearing a glass dome appeared in his field of vision.

"A newcomer?" Chen Fan muttered to himself.

The old man looked around, familiarizing himself for a moment. His gaze suddenly projected over.

"You've got some nerve. Not only did you kill the previous commander, but you dare to lie in wait here."

Before the words had even faded, the old man raised his right hand, and his palm rapidly transformed into a handgun.

"Drowsy and someone brings a pillow? I just said I had no octopus to study, and you've delivered yourself to my doorstep."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up. Skyfire, Void Tear, and Explosion—he unleashed a smooth little combo, then immediately activated the Spirit Realm.

*Bang—*

The bullet passed through the spot where Chen Fan had disappeared, and after losing its target, it flew straight into the distance.

The group of people who had just stepped out of the teleportation array were not so lucky.

Even though they all activated their shields simultaneously, under the enhancement of Void Tear, the Skyfire struck their hearts directly, followed by an Explosion.

"Uh..."

The old man's entire body shook. He looked down at his chest in disbelief. He stumbled two steps, then collapsed heavily to the ground.

The commander who had just arrived via the teleportation array to provide reinforcements, along with his group of guards.

They were finished off the moment they landed!

"This is quite the mess; I'm almost embarrassed."

Chen Fan chuckled, walked up, and looted the corpses.

He took all of their guns and bullets, and also received a few boxes used for holding octopuses.

And 120 points of energy from the holy radiance crystal.

With a wave of his hand, except for the old man, all the remaining corpses were stored into his space.

After waiting for a moment, an octopus crawled out from the old man's corpse.

"I've been waiting for you. Get in here."

He locked the octopus into the box and finally, while he was at it, collected the old man's corpse.
