Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 470 Yue Yangyan's Scheme
If the liberation from heat death brought the Apostles a deep sense of dread.

Xia Qiyuan, on the other hand, was anxious.

This operation was itself a secret siege against the disciples.

But now it has developed into a direct confrontation between the Apostles and the Countermeasures Bureau.

Xia Qiyuan was well aware of Reji's physical condition; if he allowed the other to continue his outburst like this, he would only face certain death.

The strategy of encircling and suppressing the disciples was to launch a surprise attack.

But the disciples weren't fools. They knew everyone wanted to get rid of him, yet they still brazenly stirred up trouble in Thousand Flower City. Clearly, something was wrong.

Xia Qiyuan had raised this point of doubt with Yue Yangyan at the beginning of the plan.

He didn't believe Yue Yangyan hadn't considered this.

Since they considered it but still proceeded with the original plan, it means that Yue Yangyan definitely had a backup plan.

Taking advantage of the absence of the Thousand-Faced Man and the fact that the Magician and others were tied up by Heat Death, Xia Qiyuan used the armor's communication channel to contact the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

The first thing Yue Yangyan said after the call connected was, "How is the battle going?"

Xia Qiyuan said in a deep voice over the channel, "We've been tricked by the Apostles' Society. I told you so..."

Yue Yangyan's tone remained unchanged, as if everything was expected: "I know, so how is the battle going?"

"You knew? Then why didn't you notify us, the ones carrying out the mission!"

Xia Qiyuan's face darkened: "Now that he's been forced to activate the Heat Death Armor, continuing down this path will definitely lead to his death. Where are your backup plans? Don't hide them now, bring them out!"

"Has the armor been fully activated? It's earlier than expected. Could it be that the Thousand-Faced Man's clone died prematurely?"

Yue Yangyan leaned back in his chair, twirling a pen as he pondered, "How many people from the Apostles' Society have come?"

If Xia Qiyuan still couldn't realize at this point that he was actually excluded from the real plan, he would truly be unworthy of his reputation as the famous detective of Nevada City.

Xia Qiyuan glanced at the heat death in the center of the inferno, took a deep breath, and said, "So the real plan is only known to you and him?"

"Answer my question first."

Yue Yangyan was no longer the smiling man he had been before; he exuded a chilling aura.

"Besides the disciples, there are also the magician and the tyrant. The mask of the Thousand-Faced Man should have been dealt with by the Hermit. However, the Hermit's mental puppet and Jin Ping'an are also nowhere to be found."

Xia Qiyuan briefly recounted the battle situation on the scene.

"Only three apostles...that's a bit few," Yue Yangyan sighed.

Xia Qiyuan sensed something was wrong upon hearing this, and he vaguely guessed what it meant: "What do you mean?"

"With your intelligence, I don't need to explain in detail. Just have Zhou Tian bring out what I gave her before the operation, and you'll understand."

Yue Yangyan offered no explanation, and after finishing his sentence, he unilaterally ended the call and locked the communication system to prevent Xia Qiyuan from calling back.

Xia Qiyuan exited the communication channel and turned to look at Zhou Tian: "What did you get from Dr. Yue before you set off?"

Zhou Tian was startled by Xia Qiyuan: "Ah! Me? Dr. Yue did give me some equipment, but I don't think it's very useful..."

"I don't care whether you think it's useful or not! Tell me what it is first!"

Xia Qiyuan raised his voice slightly, and given that his armor was still activated, it looked somewhat eerie.

With a bitter face, Zhou Tian hesitantly took the item out of the crack in her personal space.

It was something like an enlarged fuse, and it looked like the power battery used to charge large devices in some games.

"It's just a cost converter; its function is to transfer the side effects of using the bizarre to other people."

When Dr. Yue handed it to me, he bound it to me, so he could only transfer it to you at a strange cost.

However, I'm already a huge burden in the battle, and now I'm passing the cost on to you...

As she spoke, Zhou Tian couldn't continue. The battle at the Apostle level had completely reshaped her understanding of combat.

Having witnessed their overwhelming power, Zhou Tian's tone of voice softened.

Finally, as if remembering something, she hurriedly added, "Oh, right! Dr. Yue said that as long as I take the things out, you'll know what to do."

Is this meant to amplify my abilities and allow me to retreat with everyone? If I disregard the cost, I should be able to break through the disciples' spatial interference…”

Xia Qiyuan remained silent.

Is the device that can transfer side effects still attached to Zhou Tian?

If an average person saw this, they would definitely have the same thought as Zhou Tian:

This was Yueyang Yan's backup plan for their escape.

But Xia Qiyuan is Xia Qiyuan after all. If there are no more than five people in the world who can understand Yue Yangyan, then he is definitely one of them.

Since Yue Yangyan had anticipated the current situation, he still gave Zhou Tian the transfer device, which was definitely not for her to use to escape.

Given Yue Yangyan's previous tone, his true purpose is now quite obvious.

Xia Qiyuan grabbed the other end of the device, binding himself to the party that would bear the consequences.

"I remember the strange thing about you. You were just a little short of becoming an Apostle, right?" Xia Qiyuan asked.

Zhou Tian smiled wryly and said, "That's right, but I only realize now that I can't actually unleash His power at all; I just have a certain degree of compatibility with Him."

Xia Qiyuan watched from afar as the dark red figure pierced through three others in the center of the sea of ​​fire, and made up his mind: "That's enough. With Han Wenshan holding back the magician and his disciple, plus your interference, even if they have spatial abilities, they won't be able to use them."

"Huh? Han Wenshan...you mean Heat Death?"

Within the Countermeasures Bureau, these armor users are usually referred to by code names, and their real names are rarely used.

After realizing what was happening immediately, Zhou Tian feigned surprise and asked, "Isn't this a retreat?"

"Yueyang Yan gave you this device, not for retreat."

In front of Zhou Tian, ​​Xia Qiyuan no longer referred to Yue Yangyan as Dr. Yue.

He led Zhou Tian away slowly from the center of the battle: "Your role has never changed from beginning to end, which is to prevent the disciples from using spatial abilities and prevent them from leaving."

Zhou Tian's eyelids twitched: "But now we..."

"The battle is only just beginning."

Xia Qiyuan took a deep breath: "Prepare to reinforce the space, and then try to minimize the impact of the upcoming battle on the environment."

Zhou Tian frowned, feigning ignorance: "What about Heat Death? Are we going to let him face three apostles alone? The Tyrant's abilities are a great counter to him."

"Who told you that the one who controls is necessarily stronger than the one who is controlled, and besides..."

Xia Qiyuan tucked Zhou Tian around his waist and flew away into the distance: "Yue Yangyan had no intention of letting Reji live."
