Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The new teammate welcomed by the Third Assault Squad of Law City was none other than Little Mad King.

She was wearing a rather short standard battle skirt from Wanfeng City, which was completely different from her usual tight and capable style, and looked somewhat incongruous at first glance.

But the moment their eyes met, Li Yelai breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, when the system panel appeared, Li Yelai did have some doubts. This might be another conspiracy by Guidao.

Now he is certain that this is his partner, not some cognitive interference or a similar face.

No matter what lies ahead, with this comrade-in-arms whom he could completely entrust his back to by his side, Li Yelai felt an indescribable sense of security welling up in his heart.

No wonder Lou Su said that once you enter the core, you can find yourself very quickly.

It turns out that the two were teammates.

'Killing Lou Su and obtaining her token beforehand was the right choice; otherwise, if I had stolen the token from the forbidden area, I might not have been given my current identity,' Li Yelai thought to himself, having made some guesses about the core opportunity.

The person who possesses the token will gain an 'identity' upon entering the core.

Li Yelai and Xiao Kuangwang, for example, were assigned to the Third Assault Squad of the Law City.

The tokens possessed by other beings in the forbidden zones, and the identities they were given, are probably not of other races, are they?

Tsk, what a mistake.

If Li Ye had known he could obtain an alien identity, he should have stolen it. He could have infiltrated the alien race, then used the power of chaos to corrupt and destroy them.

Although I don't want to admit the title of 'jinx', the damage caused by infiltrating the enemy is indeed significant.

Unfortunately, the intelligence was incomplete.

Li Yelai's heart stirred, and the curse suppression of the Divine Demon Tablet quietly spread, suppressing the curse of distrust on the Little Mad King.

To avoid being suspected by the Wang siblings because of the curse.

The environment remained unchanged, and the Jade Laws covering the City of Law were not triggered. It seems there are no laws specifically addressing this aspect.

Wang Zhuang and Wang Meng were surprised by the appearance of the Little Mad King.

Especially her long legs, which made Wang Meng sigh with envy.

"These legs are longer than my life," Wang Meng muttered.

But soon, the two came to their senses and introduced themselves to Little Mad King.

When they introduced Li Yelai, they also mentioned his nickname.

'Sixth Brother'

Since a squad has five combat personnel, Li Yelai, as a civilian employee, is naturally ranked sixth.

That's why he was called the sixth brother.

This is actually a nickname that is somewhat sarcastic towards the administrative staff of the team.

After all, combatants will be reduced or replaced.

Civilian staff generally do not experience transfers.

The fighters come and go, but Lao Liu remains a constant.
Li Yelai was the sixth member of the third assault team.

However, let's make Li Ye a clerical worker. Okay, clerical it is. Let's see what's going on.

If an office worker suddenly displays great strength, it will arouse unnecessary suspicion and distrust.

Little Mad King also tried her best to play the role of a female warrior from Wanfeng City and communicate with them.

Although she was numb, her acting skills were excellent, and there were no flaws whatsoever.

This perfectly captures the stereotypical image of Wanfeng City as "barbarians." As for other details of daily life, these can be explained by the different cultural styles of the two cities.

Subsequently, in order to help Xiao Kuang Wang get used to the work environment.

Wang Zhuang and Wang Meng took Little Mad King to learn about the base's layout and work content. Li Yelai, who was following along, also took the opportunity to improve his own intelligence.

Law City has many combat teams, and the Third Assault Squad is one of the elite among them.

Each of them is a Level 4 combatant, which means a Level 4 psychic among psychics.

This is similar to the night watch team in the human megacity, which also consists of five people.

However, the giant city has more abundant resources and a more complete combat system.

After all, there are so many restricted-area blind boxes to try and find.

Furthermore, when spies venture out at night, they often enter restricted areas to hunt extraordinary creatures or carry out other missions, making it impossible for them to have civilian personnel providing effective support from the rear. There's not even a signal.

The combat teams of Law City require the assistance of civilian staff, who can receive legal aid to a certain extent and provide support to the combatants.

For example, no-fly zones and disarmament can allow the power of wonders to influence a certain area.

Simply put, clerical staff can obtain assistance from wonders through exclusive channels.

This surprised Li Ye. The power of a wonder could be borrowed? Could a clerical worker without psychic talent, or with only a low level of talent, really borrow a portion of a hegemon's power?

This system is very interesting.

It is somewhat similar to the Chaos faction, except that the power is borrowed by the Chosen Ones, while the power is provided by the Chaos Gods.

Hmm, more like gods and their retinue? That seems like a good way to understand it.

Despite being a dominant species, it is merely a divine being, still far from being a god.

According to the Heavenly Court and the various forbidden zones.

Even kings are called demigods, so they can be considered gods, right?

However, kings do not have the concept of retinues. Does this mean that one must reach the level of a psionic emperor, that is, a true god?

This spectacle is truly unique and deserves to be studied.

In short, this is a unique support feature of the City of Law, and it is inseparable from the combat squad.

It was also thanks to Wang Zhuang and Wang Meng that Li Ye wasn't allowed to come and perform for Little Mad King.

Otherwise, Li Yelai would really be at a loss.

Little Mad King also tacitly suggested that they take a look at the working environment of other teams.

Thus, Li Yelai was able to see a civilian staff member provide a series of coordinates on the instrument, then hold a small silver balance in both hands, make a pronouncement, and the balance flashed.

Is that the power of the 'law' that civilian staff borrow?
Contrary to expectations, it seemed more like the civilian staff of the giant city were sending coordinates to the artillery regiment in the rear.

This is different from Li Yelai's imagined abilities regarding his relatives. He will find an opportunity to test them before drawing conclusions.

Li Yelai had already memorized the announcement made by the clerk using the silver balance, as well as the method of operating the instrument. He would go back and retrieve the books from his room to study them; he should be able to recreate it.

Next came the equipment. There were indeed psionic weapons, but due to the materials used, their quality wasn't considered very high by Li Ye. However, they did have their unique features. After showing Little Mad King around the dormitory area, Wang Zhuang and Wang Meng prepared to leave, asking Li Ye to take care of Little Mad King from time to time.

Li Yelai naturally nodded in agreement.

So, after Wang Zhuang and the other man left, Li Yelai took Little Mad King into his room.

"That's really peculiar," Li Yelai said. "I thought it would take you some time to find it."

“When I learned that ‘I’ had been assigned to this City of Law, I guessed that you should be here too. I just didn’t expect you to be an office worker.” The Little Mad King smiled slightly. “This must be quite a novel experience for you.”

"This is too novel. I didn't even go to university before I started working. It's too much to ask of me to be an office worker," Li Yelai complained.

In this day and age, a college degree is highly valued. But back then, his father was missing and his mother had passed away. He simply couldn't afford to go to college.

Therefore, in terms of academic qualifications, his champion will be completely outmatched by civilian staff.

They even had to be brutally killed by cheese. Cheese only awakened when they finished university and had mastered all the basics.

"Moreover, the clerical staff here are truly purely clerical," Li Yelai said. He had just passed through the office area when the 'system' displayed a panel. Putting everything else aside, its viewing capabilities were indeed impressive.

The vast majority of these civilian staff members have no psychic abilities and are physically quite ordinary.

This is different from the giant city. Within the department, even the civilian staff have received military-style training. They are all excellent marksmen, and some can even drive tanks.

Among them are many psionicists, and even many psionicists who are unable to fight on the front lines due to injuries, curses, or other reasons.

This makes the civilian combat force of the giant city quite formidable. Anyone who thinks they can slaughter the civilians by advancing to the rear is simply waiting to die.

During the No. 49 Disaster Fog, the Terror Demons launched a surprise attack on the base. If they hadn't been so numerous, they would probably have been wiped out by the civilian staff.

The administrative staff here seem to focus more on the study of law. Their combat capabilities are relatively mediocre.

Moreover, among these clerical staff are Chaos believers.
Yes, when Wang Zhuang and Wang Meng led them to the work area, Li Yelai saw a clerical worker with a Chaos belief through the 'system'.

Disguised as an ordinary person, but actually possessing the strength of a third-level psychic.

This was so conspicuous in the entire civilian workforce that Li Yelai, who was looking at the system, couldn't help but take another look at him.

Then, upon opening the details, wow, they were followers of the Blood God Church!

It's unclear whether it was thrown in after its memory was erased, or whether it was corrupted later on.

Of course, this was due to doubts about the 'system' intelligence and concerns about his current identity.

After remembering the name of the clerk, Li Yelai continued to follow Wang Zhuang away.

Could it be a conspiracy by the Guidao? They don't care about betraying other Chaos believers, but it's also possible that the Guidao wants Li Ye to think this way.

Or is it that making Li Ye so suspicious is also part of their plan?

After all, it's that damned, treacherous path; Li Yelai must be careful.

At the same time, Li Yelai also informed Little Mad King about the existence of this 'system' and mentioned the civilian staff who were suspected to be followers of Chaos.

Of course, Li Yelai didn't say it explicitly. Instead, he subtly mentioned the matter of the Zhou family disciple in the core incident of the Machine God.

Zhou Ding from the Zhou family was deceived by the God of Deception.

Disguised as a 'system,' it used knowledge and rewards to lead him step by step to a dead end, and activated the core of the Machine God, almost reviving the fully-formed Annihilation Titan.

Of course, in the end, it seems that Immortal Lord Chang Le took the peach.

Xiao Kuang Wang had a long-standing partnership with Li Yelai, and instantly understood the meaning behind Li Yelai's revelation.

She shook her head slightly, indicating that she hadn't experienced anything like that. She didn't have a 'system'.

Li Yelai fell into deep thought. Was that 'system,' or rather, the unorthodox method, specifically targeting him?
What's the point? No matter what 'data' he sees, Li Yelai remains unmoved. What can he possibly do?

Or rather, what does it want Li Ye to realize?

'That damned trickery is really troublesome. What a troublemaker!'

This put Li Yelai in a dilemma: should he open Facebook and completely destroy the system? Or should he try to find that guy through the internet connection?

But this could easily alert the enemy, and once the mask is activated, the City of Law might react in other ways. Perhaps we should find an opportunity to leave the City of Law and try our luck outside the city.

Little Mad King then spoke up, "Have you noticed many familiar faces in this place?"

“I initially thought it was cognitive pollution,” Li Yelai nodded.

Not only Spark and Shadow Stream, but Li Yelai saw many similar faces.

Fortunately, they are still easy to identify.

"In your eyes, the Wang Zhuang siblings seem to resemble Xinghuo and the others as well. It's not that my perception is flawed."

"Yes, and there are many more. Their temperaments, personalities, and abilities are all quite different. But they do share some similarities in appearance. One or two would be one thing, but there are a lot of them this time," said Little Mad King. "Could it be that our perception has influenced this space? Influenced this core world?"

Li Yelai nodded silently; he did indeed have some doubts about it.

“Moreover, that Chaos believer,” Li Yelai said, “and my identity in Lou Su’s eyes.”

In Lou Su's eyes, at least before she was attacked, Li Yelai was a Chosen One of Chaos, and a Chosen One of Chaos obtaining this clerical 'identity' directly infiltrated the official ranks of Law City.

What is their purpose? To corrupt the powerful officials of the Law City?
That Chaos believer might be one of the means left for Li Yelai, this outsider chosen one, to connect with the internal Chaos faction.

The purpose was to send a Chosen One of Chaos to a core location within a human civilization, and also to send other beings from forbidden zones into this core world.

This is clearly a sign of malice towards human civilization.

Li Yelai calmly considered and organized Tianyan Xingzhe's thoughts.

Their original plan was to use tokens to send personnel from two human factions and three forbidden factions into this place.

It's likely a coordinated attack from within and without to destroy this civilized city-state.

But an unexpected event occurred, and those two human factions lost their eligibility.

Therefore, they were replaced by Li Yelai, the chosen one, and Lou Su, the traveler.

The reason they could be replaced by Li Yelai must be because Li Yelai is able to accomplish the goals on behalf of those two human forces.

If we're talking about destroying civilization from within, the corruption of chaos is indeed the most powerful method.

"Moreover, we can replace our original 'identity' with a token. Now that we're here, what about the person with the original 'identity,' the original clerical staff and new members of the Third Assault Team?" Little Mad King asked.

“Role-playing.” Li Yelai paused. “When we enter this world, it’s like we’re replacing characters in a script. More importantly, our perception seems to be able to cover up or even distort their original existence to some extent.”

“It’s also possible that they improved upon them,” Little Mad King said. “That possibility cannot be ruled out.”

"Role-playing, cognitive influence," Li Yelai pondered, trying to connect all the strange feelings.

"This world is like a copy of another game." (End of Chapter)
