Chapter 703: Dining Department
A raccoon?!
Wei Dong froze in place. After repeatedly confirming through his sniper scope that it truly was a raccoon, he fell into deep confusion.
Where the hell did a raccoon come from in this place?
And why was it walking on two feet?!
Had it become a spirit?
No... this must be some kind of "mystery." But how could a "mystery" appear here?
Wei Dong hesitated. He had expected the alarm to be triggered by those two Magatsu Blade Lords, but he hadn't expected the culprit to be just a little raccoon "mystery." It didn't seem to have a very high realm, and it appeared harmless.
If he pulled the trigger here, the gunshot would likely expose his position. However, if those two Magatsu Blade Lords really hadn't come here, exposing his position shouldn't be much of a problem.
Should he take this shot or not?
After沉吟了片刻，Wei Dong made his decision. He aimed his sniper rifle at the little raccoon below.
As a "paratrooper," his mission was to place the signal transmission device and guide the "sentinel" here. Therefore, he had to first ensure the area was safe. This little raccoon "mystery" wandering around was a hidden danger.
Moreover, even if those two Magatsu Blade Lords did come, as long as he changed locations immediately after firing, they still wouldn't know his exact position.
Wei Dong clutched his sniper rifle, aimed at the raccoon's head, and slowly pulled the trigger!
At that moment, the little raccoon was wobbling along the dim road, its brown fur gleaming smoothly under the pale blue glow. Its obsidian-like eyes were打量着四周, seeming full of curiosity about everything.
Suddenly, its gaze fell upon a glass marble wedged between the cracks in a broken wall beside it.
Its eyes lit up.
Oh?
This little stone is so pretty.
Just as it bent down to pick up the marble, a shrill gunshot echoed through the alleyway.
Bang—!
A dark red bullet grazed past its forehead, singeing a few strands of fur. The sudden attack startled it, and it instantly bounced四五米 off the ground, darting through the complex street ruins at astonishing speed.
As it looked back toward where the gunshot came from, its heart was pounding wildly!
I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!
I almost got my little life ended here!
It hadn't made it to the upper management of the Dining Department yet, hadn't become Assistant to Director A Zhu, hadn't gotten to sneak into the kitchen at midnight for a good meal—if it died here like this, what a waste.
Its name was Tao Wan, its true form [Lucky Raccoon], Orderly #277 of the Asylum of the Gods, under the Dining Department's jurisdiction. Its realm was only the touching "Pool" realm, with absolutely no attack power to speak of. However, some irregularly appearing luck blessings always allowed it to escape from the mist alive.
Among the seven departments of the Gods, the one with the highest combat power was the Security Department under Hong Yan's command. Unfortunately, the vast majority were ultra-powerful "mysteries" at the "Unmeasured" or "Klein" levels. With Lin Qiye's current spiritual power intensity, he couldn't summon them yet.
Therefore, the Dining Department, with its generally lower realms but abundant personnel, became the target of his large-scale summoning this time.
Originally, the average realm of the Dining Department's orderlies was only the "River" realm. Especially after the Dining Department's top fighter, the White Bear, was tricked by Lin Qiye into becoming a blade spirit, this average was pulled down even further. With Lin Qiye's current peak "Sea" realm spiritual power, summoning thirty to forty orderlies at once was no problem.
Seeing the little raccoon dodge his bullet in such an absurd way, Wei Dong stood frozen. Half a second later, he swiftly rose, clutching his sniper rifle, and leapt down from the building, quickly sprinting toward another structure.
This shot had already exposed his position. To be safe, he now had to switch his combat ground.
He believed that with his movement speed, even if someone came to track his position, by the time they reached the original sniper spot, he would have successfully relocated several kilometers away.
Unfortunately, what he didn't realize was that after this gunshot, nearly forty Dining Department orderlies scattered throughout the ruins began approaching from different directions!
...
On the other side.
Hearing the distant gunshot, Lin Qiye and Amemiya Haruki both turned their heads.
"It's that mysterious person." Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
Amemiya Haruki frowned slightly, "Is it really okay for us to just stroll around like this? His position is exposed. Don't we need to deal with him?"
"This isn't called strolling; this is gathering intelligence about this place." Lin Qiye squatted down and slapped a hand through the piled wall debris beside him. As billowing dust surged out, from the deepest part of the debris...
"And besides, I've already said it... later, he will be brought right before us."
Looking at the smile on Lin Qiye's face, though Amemiya Haruki had some doubts, thinking about the nearly forty diverse "monsters and ghosts" that had just stood neatly before Lin Qiye and bowed respectfully, he nodded.
What mysterious means the invader had...
...
Wei Dong clutched his sniper rifle, moving like a phantom through the city ruins. His eyes constantly alert, watching every movement in his surroundings.
At that moment, the pixelated digital watch on his wrist lit up again, several crimson triangular symbols appearing on the screen one after another, and they were increasing at an alarming rate!
The alarm devices he had set up nearby were being triggered one after another.
Seeing this, Wei Dong's pupils constricted sharply!
So many alarms triggered couldn't possibly be caused by a single unit. This meant a large number of unknown units were approaching his vicinity!
Was it some kind of crisis hidden in these ruins, or something else entirely?
Various thoughts flashed through Wei Dong's mind. His heart immediately sank. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly climbed onto the nearest shattered low building, concealing himself behind the broken walls. Through gaps in the wall, he observed his surroundings.
Soon, three figures in deep cyan orderly uniforms appeared nearby, seemingly searching for something.
By their builds, Wei Dong could determine they definitely weren't human. They should be like the earlier raccoon—"mysteries" active in these ruins. But where did those matching orderly uniforms come from?
Professional uniforms?
Wei Dong was completely puzzled, but fortunately, his hiding spot was quite cleverly chosen. The three orderlies looked around but didn't find his traces, then dispersed toward other areas.
Seeing this, Wei Dong let out a slight sigh of relief.
What he didn't notice was that above his hiding spot, an invisible web covered every corner of this area. A child was sitting right in the center of the web, quietly looking down at him.
