Chapter 907: The Destruction Squad

My heartbeat accelerated once again. I'd been following Bai Yang for so long, and it seemed like his plan was finally reaching its end.

"Yang Ge... after I find you... what next?"

He looked up at me and said, "Wait for a person, and once that person comes, I'll tell you."

"Wait for a person...?"

The two of us waited quietly in the office. Before long, a handsome young man in a black leather jacket walked in through the door.

After entering, he bowed slightly to Bai Yang and said, "Is this the business you instructed?"

"Yes."

"It's actually the provincial-level Sheng Xiao. My apologies for the disrespect. Wu Ge has already given the orders, so we can begin now."

"Will you be staying beside us?" Bai Yang asked.

"Yes, I must stay beside you," the young man replied. "Otherwise, I won't be able to use my abilities, so I hope you'll understand. But I absolutely won't leak a single word of what I hear today, or we'll all face the consequences."

"Very well." Bai Yang nodded. "Let's begin."

The young man closed his eyes slightly, and I instantly felt myself enveloped in a strange force, with complete silence all around.

It seemed Bai Yang really had other pieces in play...

This person's outfit looked somewhat familiar... Was he from the same organization as Zhou Mo?

"Yan Zhi Chun, once you find me, the first task is to confirm whether I've recovered my memories," Bai Yang said straightforwardly. "If I have recovered my memories, then..."

Bai Yang actually paused.

"Then what...?"

"Then you must lead everyone to immediately dismantle all the Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping in the city."

"What...?"

I vaguely sensed the atmosphere of a Bei Shui Yi Zhan.

Dismantling all the Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping... How would the less skilled Hui Xiang Zhe know if they've gained Hui Xiang?

"But it has to be fast," Bai Yang said. "Otherwise, the upper levels will definitely intervene during the dismantling."

"Upper levels intervene?" I paused, not quite understanding. "Yang Ge... based on my guess, those Xian Shi Ping were probably set up by some previous Can Yu Zhe... Their existence is mainly to help Can Yu Zhe, so why would the upper levels intervene? They should be eager to see them all destroyed."

"Don't be naive," Bai Yang said. "If that thing was only for helping Can Yu Zhe, do you think Tian Long and Qing Long would just ignore it?"

"So... that thing is useful to them too?"

"Yes, it's a double-edged sword. Not only do we use the Xian Shi Ping to find Hui Xiang Zhe, but they do too," Bai Yang said. "The Xian Shi Ping is not just our eyes and ears—it's theirs as well. If we're going to start the final war with them, we have to destroy it."

This explanation meant that from now on, we'd be moving forward in the dark. If we didn't succeed, this place would definitely descend into chaos.

"But there are four Xian Shi Ping in total..." I said. "Theoretically, to prevent upper-level intervention, we'd have to dismantle the four huge Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping at the exact same time. Otherwise, they'll notice and kill all our people..."

Even if they didn't notice, successfully dismantling the Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping would mean we couldn't escape afterward. This was a path of heavy casualties.

If Tian Long and Qing Long really relied on the Xian Shi Ping to find Hui Xiang Zhe, I was undoubtedly challenging their authority.

"You're overthinking it," Bai Yang said. "There's a huge flaw with the Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping that's right in front of everyone, but no one's noticed it."

"A huge flaw...?"

"Yan Zhi Chun, to build four massive copper bells weighing several tons each, and four enormous, functional Xian Shi Ping—does this city have enough materials on hand?"

I blinked. "So you're saying..."

"These things couldn't just appear out of nowhere. Even the strongest Hui Xiang Zhe would need materials to build them. But for something on this scale, it's impossible to gather enough materials. Plus, these four sets of equipment are set with Yin Guo—'the screen lights up, then the bells ring.' Such a massive project, such an incredible Hui Xiang creation, and such a perfectly aligned layout... yet no one's spotted the problem."

"I still don't get it... so what's the huge flaw?" I asked.

"Yan Zhi Chun, the four Ju Zhong and four Xian Shi Ping look identical, with no differences," Bai Yang turned to me and said. "That's because one is the Ben Ti, and the other three are Zhan Pin."

"Ah?!"

"You don't need to dismantle all the Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping at the same time. Just find the one marked with '87' and destroy it, and the other Zhan Pin will vanish along with it, since the Ben Ti is gone."

Wait... my mind was in turmoil.

"Zhan Pin—what does that mean?" I asked, stunned. "Is it a Hui Xiang?"

"Yes." Bai Yang nodded. "You only need to build one set of Xian Shi Ping and Ju Zhong in the due south direction, and use Zhan Pin to create replicas in the other three directions. That way, you save on the massive workload."

A chill ran down my back again. I suddenly admired the person who created the Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping—how did they come up with this construction method?

The Hui Xiang embedded in that Ju Zhong and Xian Shi Ping must be even more complex than Bai Yang described... Who exactly organized all these powerful Hui Xiang Zhe and built something that benefits everyone?

"So what does '87' mean?" I asked again.

"It's a mark left by a Tan Suo Zhe. He's always recorded the locations where each group of Can Yu Zhe descended and numbered them in the order he discovered them. The team that descended near the Ju Zhong was called the '87th' by him."

Bai Yang explained it very clearly, but I was still confused.

"Yang Ge... how do you know all this?" I asked.

"Don't ask," Bai Yang said. "Remember, when you find me again and realize I've started recovering my memories, you must immediately organize a Po Huai Xiao Dui. That's the first task I'm giving you."

"Alright..." I nodded seriously.

"The first task is straightforward, but the second one sounds like a one-way path," Bai Yang said.

I stared at Bai Yang, waiting for him to speak, but the young man in the leather jacket interjected.

"Wait, wait a minute..." He looked at Bai Yang with a pale face. "I'm truly sorry... The content of your conversation is just too unbelievable... I'm just here to do a job; I don't want to get involved."
