I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 213 Another Uninvited Guest

Half a month later, in the Deep Blue Martial Arts School, it was night. Thin dark clouds quietly covered the waning moon, and the cold and broken moonlight fell on the bluestone brick floor.

"..."

The crimson-haired beauty in a black bodysuit quietly landed in the courtyard, but before she could move, her body suddenly froze.

"Long time no see, Miss Maya." Lin Xi stood in front of the door and greeted her in a relaxed tone. His mental strength was getting stronger and stronger, and only one hour of sleep a day was enough. Any breath within a hundred meters around him would be subconsciously recorded, and ordinary fighters could not avoid his lock at all. Therefore, this uninvited guest had just approached the Deep Blue Martial Arts Hall and woke him up from his meditation.

Maya naturally lifted her messy hair and said with a charming smile: "As expected, you are the man who defeated General Vega. I can't hide it from you."

"No need to say polite words." Lin Xi had a polite but repulsive smile on her face, "Tell me why you're here."

"Let's get to know each other again." Maya bowed her head slightly, "CIA undercover agent, Crimson Viper."

Lin Xi's expression did not change at all. The Maya in front of him, to be more precise, was the Crimson Viper. This woman was a CIA undercover agent in Yingluo and she was also an agent in Yingluo. They had met once in Hong Kong Island four years ago and had no contact since then. Now she came to his house, the timing was quite tricky.

"My colleague, an African man codenamed Seth, has disappeared in Hong Kong Island. I am responsible for investigating his whereabouts." Crimson Viper looked very sincere. "I heard that you, Mr. Lin, had an encounter with him before, so I came to visit you specially."

Pretty women are really good at deceiving people.

Lin Xi sighed in his heart. The woman in front of him could tell lies without blushing or beating her heart. Her spirit was not affected at all. She was as calm as a pool of water without any fluctuating emotions.

Being able to climb over the wall in the middle of the night and call it a visit is quite a skill.

Perhaps sensing the other party's speechlessness, Crimson Viper smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lin, do you know that Yingluo has now fallen apart?" She had something in her hand, otherwise she would not have come here in the middle of the night.

"Oh?" Lin Xi was really interested now. The disintegration of Ying Luo was a bit unexpected. He didn't think that he had really killed Vega. As long as Vega was not dead, he could pull up another Ying Luo anytime and anywhere.

However, the trick of faking death is not new. In the game, after being killed instantly by Akuma in Street Fighter II, he faked his death on the spot and let his clones attract attention.

"Shadow Luo's chief financial officer, John Petrovich, announced Vega's death a week ago." Crimson Viper stopped talking halfway and just looked at the man opposite with a smile.

John Petrovich...or J.P., a villain who theoretically should have appeared in Street Fighter VI to bring harm to Ken, has he appeared on the historical stage so early?
Lin Xi remained silent, his mind full of thoughts. This was much earlier than he had imagined.

In fact, there are still many powerful guys in Yingluo, but they are either squatting in remote small countries or simply clones sealed in the laboratory. However, most of them have one thing in common:
Everyone was waiting for Vega to die.

The only ones who can be considered loyal are the women's Twelve Month Guard, and only three of the Four Heavenly Kings can be ordered around at will.

Of course, from Vega's point of view, he doesn't care about this at all, just as he said when he defeated Fang who infiltrated Yingluo and tried to replace him: "I don't need your loyalty, I just need you to be strong enough."

Therefore, he doesn't care about the disloyalty of his subordinates, let alone whether there are undercover agents lurking in. Even if the Yingluo is divided and people have different opinions, a Yingluo that can run smoothly under his high-pressure rule is a good Yingluo.

The reason why Lin Xi was so concerned about John Petrovich's early activity was that -

Mr. J.P. possesses extremely powerful mental power, and has an inseparable relationship with Vega, who has been officially confirmed to have retired. It is even said in the game that Vega has been looking for a container that can use this power for many years. However, his personality is purely fun. After being defeated, he can still smile and say, "You beat me, so what's the point?"

As someone who has mastered mental power, he also has the ability to teleport, so it is very easy for him to run away. As for why it was useless in the plot before the sixth generation, I think Capcom itself doesn't know.

Of course Lin Xi didn't know, but she felt very uncomfortable facing a character that should have appeared after Vega died completely.

"Mr. Lin?" Crimson Viper saw that he was silent for a long time and asked tentatively.

Lin Xi raised his eyes to look at the other person and said calmly, "Oh." His heart was already in turmoil, and his aura and expression would definitely not change at all.

that's it?
With Crimson Viper's excellent qualities, she couldn't help feeling a little frustrated for a moment. She wondered to herself, how come this man has become so thoughtful after not seeing him for four years? She quickly decided to get straight to the point: "As far as I know, before Vega disappeared, he had promoted a top-secret plan called 'Container' on a large scale, and the target was Hong Kong Island..."

"Your real target is not Seth, right?" After hearing this, Lin Xi directly and unceremoniously exposed the other party's cover-up.

Coming to see a colleague is just an excuse. The most important thing is probably to know what happened to Vega.

"If you are willing to help me clear up my doubts, Mr. Lin, I will tell you everything I know." Crimson Viper continued, showing no embarrassment at all for being caught lying in public, and even seemed somewhat calm.

[Container...refers to me? ]

[Is Vega so sure that I can unleash his full power? ]

[Or is there another goal? ]

Lin Xi pondered for a moment, then asked cheerfully, "What can you tell me?" He was not clear about the so-called top-secret plan, but he was familiar with the background of the game, so he could make up anything. Now he really needed to know what happened to Ying Luo after being highly affected by the butterfly effect, so there was no problem in exchanging information.

"How about we each answer one question for the other?" Crimson Viper made this request and said generously, "You can ask the question first." As she spoke, she threw a ring over and said, "This is Yingluo's latest technological product, a lie detector ring. If you agree to exchange information, we both need to wear it."

It seems that she knows a lot.

Lin Xi used his mental power to scan the ring, only to find a very sophisticated structure inside, and when his mental power flowed through it, a yellow light appeared.

A trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in the eyes of the Crimson Viper. He also put on a ring and said, "I am a man." A red light lit up on the surface of the ring and quickly went out after five seconds.

She said again, "I am a woman." The ring lit up with a green light, which also lasted for five seconds. After the demonstration, she stretched out her hand, indicating that as long as the ring was put on, the transaction could be carried out at any time.

[Red is a lie, green is the truth, what is yellow?] Lin Xi first pondered the meaning of the yellow light, and then thought that the so-called exchange of information is actually very subtle, and the truth with some reservations may have a counter-effect, which is also a kind of game of meaning.

However, as he had mastered more settings and possessed a strong mental power, there was no reason why he would not dare to accept his opponent's invitation to gamble. So he put on the ring and asked the first question: "Where is John Petrovich?"

Crimson Viper didn't hesitate and gave the answer instantly: "After he announced Vega's death, he flew from Neshar to Japan and his whereabouts are unknown since then."

Green, truth.

Japan... Why Japan? Missing is an interesting term.

She didn't give Lin Xi more time to think, and directly asked her question: "Vega's target for coming to Hong Kong Island is you, right?"

It seems that yellow is related to mental power.

Lin Xi confirmed the information immediately and said, "I don't know." That's right, he really didn't know this. Because he knew too much, even though he had defeated Vega, he still didn't know the other party's true goal.

Red, lies.

He was stunned. Why was it red? Was it because he was so arrogant that he firmly believed that Vega's target was him, or was it because those memories were destroyed by Vega's body and turned into a mess? !
In the battle for the world of consciousness that day, Vega's consciousness, which had already taken shape, was destroyed by the main body and twisted into a bunch of indecipherable garbled codes. He could have thrown it out as garbage a long time ago, but after thinking about it, he decided to keep it for a while. Could it be...

Crimson Viper did not show any protest or disgust towards the color red. He just smiled and said, "You can ask the next question now."

Her questioning skills are quite sophisticated. She gives options and only asks right or wrong. Regardless of whether the answer is a lie or the truth, she can get the truth and the possibility of being misled by the truth is also minimized.

Lin Xi's heart was filled with numerous emotions. He wanted to test whether the garbled memory could be read, but with outsiders present, he had to suppress his restlessness and asked, "What is the current situation of Yingluo after it was torn apart?"

Crimson Viper licked his lips and said:
"The European branch of Kagera has been completely destroyed because of the appearance of your teacher Yuan. Many countries are fighting for Kagera's legacy."

"The Asian branch has been completely controlled by the Shadow Raid Bioweapons Division (SIN)."

“The other branches no longer communicate with each other.”

Green, true words, but they are all generalities and do not get to the point at all.

[Did Seth from Street Fighter also appear on stage? 】

Lin Xi sighed inwardly. It was not unexpected. Seth from Street Fighter also appeared.

Seth in Street Fighter is the director of Shadow Ra's biochemical weapons department and the 15th clone of Vega. He mainly operates in South Korea. In the game, after Vega faked his death, he was the first to jump out and tried to take his place. He also learned to run Street Fighter from Vega, but just like his former self, he fell under Ryu's fist and had all his strength absorbed by Vega. It can be said that he was quite unlucky.

How to say it, he is definitely strong, whether it is his body that is the culmination of Eiji Rai's black technology, or his skills that are input with a lot of fighting data. Against the background of Street Fighter IV, he is not at a disadvantage when facing Ryu who has gradually mastered the fluctuations of murderous intent. In the comics, he was only briefly fainted after taking Shin Gouki's Shungoku Sha. It can be seen that this guy is definitely stronger than Vega from Street Fighter II.

It's a pity that I don't have any brains.

It is reasonable that the European branch was destroyed. Yuan, who mastered the secret technique, is no longer the sickly old man in the game. As long as his leukemia has not relapsed, even the real Gouki may not be able to defeat him. I just don't know what happened to Chun-Li and his group.

"You ruined Vega's plan, right?" Crimson Viper still asked the same tricky question.

"That's right." Lin Xi himself was not sure about it, but he still agreed and simultaneously monitored the garbled code in the world of consciousness.

Green, truth.

The garbled memory was suddenly slightly touched when he answered.

[Interesting, it seems that even if the memory and emotions are destroyed, they will still respond to the lie detector. The technological content of this little thing is probably much higher than I thought.]

Lin Xi looked at the ring thoughtfully. Yingluo's technology was truly amazing. They had conducted in-depth research on both Qi and mental power.

In fact, this point is also reflected in the game. Whether it is the various clones and modified humans, or the codename Q who appears and disappears mysteriously and kills people all over the world, they can basically perfectly demonstrate Shadow Luo's skills.

I just wonder if other countries’ military technologies have equally powerful black technologies?
"The deal ends here." Lin Xi did not continue asking questions. He already knew the general situation, and he estimated that even if he asked again, the other party would not be able to say anything more useful.

Crimson Viper himself is just an agent lurking in the Shadow Luo Biochemical Weapons Department. The key is that he knows all the information about the boss of this department, Seth, so what is there to ask?

The whereabouts of John Petrovich, who was of interest to him, were unknown, and it might be related to Japan's messy past. When he heard that the last address was Japan, he decided not to investigate further.

Whoever wants to go to that crappy place can go, but he will never go there unless it is necessary in the future.

The most important thing is that he really wants to drive the other person away so that he can explore those garbled memories more by himself.

With this thought in mind, Lin Xi stretched out his hand to let the guest go, locking his eyes on her tightly. As long as the woman showed any hesitation, he would take her down on the spot. The little bit of face he had in Hong Kong Island was not enough to support him letting her go.

The Crimson Viper nodded, without getting entangled in anything, nor did she intend to take back the ring. She seemed to have sensed the man's thoughts. After taking a deep look at him, she swiftly climbed over the wall and jumped out of the yard. After she was far away from the Deep Blue Martial Arts Hall, she turned on the earring communicator and said in a deep voice: "It has been confirmed that the container plan is related to the target Lin Xi."

"Lin Xi has mastered extremely strong mental power, which has been able to trigger the upper limit of the mental power detector."

"Highly relevant to Vega's disappearance."
