I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 198 Playing with Him

Feng Xue didn't care whether Tina tried it or locked her up directly. Of course, he wasn't trying to boost Tina's confidence, but rather for the sake of the soldiers circling outside.

Fortunately, through the little bell, he clearly understood that he had been implicated this time, so he wasn't too nervous.

She casually removed her disposable gloves, untied her white coat, tied her belt around her waist, and after confirming that the lifespan was locked, Feng Xue inserted the jade pendant and jade seal.

"Little Bell, how's the data oversight going?"

"Don't worry, Master. There are a few of my followers among those soldiers. I intercepted the data transmission signal when they approached and created a disguise signal. They will definitely not be detected in a short time. However, they have already reported that there is something unusual near Nishi-Shinjuku. Even if we eliminate them, they can easily lock onto this area again."

Little Bell transmitted the situation directly to Feng Xue's soul through consciousness communication. After quickly scanning the behavior of this group of scumbags along the way, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"In that case, we'll definitely need to use some tricks!"

Feng Xue quickly formulated a plan in her mind, but Xiao Lingdang hesitated a bit:

“Master, this requires a lot of computing power and erasure capabilities, and the Hexian people have likely set up a network backup, so…”

“It’s okay. You can operate through the dark web. If you are discovered, create the impression that this is a temporary setup by the resistance organization to divert attention. Also, you don’t need to get involved on my end. Put everything in except for basic computing power. We must get this done before I deal with these people.”

Upon receiving Feng Xue's order, Xiao Lingdang made no attempt to dissuade her and immediately entered the online world to begin revising the history book. Feng Xue, on the other hand, found a wall about two corners away from her pharmacy, casually drew a rather unsightly graffiti on it, and then used a [Antique Creation] technique, adding a touch of spiritual light to it. Immediately, many turbid wishes converged towards this spot.

Having done this, Feng Xue cast an invisibility spell on herself and slowly walked towards the naturalized troops who had been scattered by the ghost wall.

"Sometimes, I also want to test my regular combat capabilities..."

……

"Damn it, just how big is this place?" Sarutobi looked at the drone above his head, his face ashen. A dozen or so squads, about a hundred people, went into a small alley, and when they came out, only a dozen or so remained. Then, when they turned around again, almost half of them were gone.

Even though he can still communicate through the team channel, it's difficult for him to maintain a calm mindset.

"Boss... Boss, are we stuck in a maze?" The brother-in-law huddled next to his brother-in-law, having already turned the scanning on his tactical goggles to the maximum. The various overlapping views gave him a strong feeling of nausea, but he forced himself to stare at the colorful vision in an attempt to find more anomalies.

"Shut up, or I'll kill you if you say another word!" Sarutobi shouted angrily, but suddenly he felt a chill. He had only taken one step, but a cold sensation suddenly ran down his side.

This wasn't an illusion; it was because the warmth his brother-in-law had been providing by staying close to him suddenly vanished!
"Kuangxuan? Kuangxuan! Biwako Kuangxuan!" Sarutobi's hair stood on end. He desperately hoped that his brother-in-law had simply shut up because he had been scolded, but the heat source that had just been beside him had disappeared from the status bar displayed on his tactical goggles.

Not only his brother-in-law, but also the team members who were following him at the end, had disappeared without a trace.

"Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law! Where did you go?" The brother-in-law's anxious voice came through the earpiece, but Sarutobi didn't dare to answer for a moment. In the legends of Japan, there was never a shortage of yokai that could imitate the speech of family and friends.

These monsters often have the ability to harm people if they agree to their requests.

"Damn it!" Sarutobi gritted his teeth, not answering, but the voices of the other team members rose and fell in his earpiece. "If these aren't hallucinations or ghostly disguises, then it means we're all in the same situation..."

Sarutobi bit his tongue, trying to break free from the illusion through pain, just like in the stories he had read as a child.

But the result was unsurprisingly, he got nothing.

"Damn it!" Sarutobi felt frustrated by his limited vocabulary of curses, but just then, a strong current suddenly spread from his limbs and bones.

The terrifying pain almost made him lose control of his bladder, but then everything went black and everything returned to normal.

The alley in front of them was still the same alley, and the soldiers under his command maintained their formation. The exclamations coming from the team channel matched the sounds that were faintly coming from afar in reality...

"You're back?" the soldiers exclaimed, relieved to have survived. In a brief moment of disbelief, Sarutobi heard a cold, emotionless AI voice prompt:

"An abnormality in physiological function and disordered mental signals have been detected. The neuron restart program has been activated. The index has now recovered. This program is an emergency function, and usage records will be retained. You have the right to appeal. If you have any objections, please..."

"Objection? How could there be an objection! I'm so grateful for this feature!"

Sarutobi felt incredibly lucky at this moment, gaining a completely new understanding of the armor's functions, and at the same time realizing something—

"The gadgets here can fool people, but they can't fool alien equipment!"

But the moment this thought crossed his mind, Sarutobi was suddenly startled. Hearing the soldiers' noisy commotion around him, he suddenly shouted:
"Everyone quiet down! Confirm your identity using the onboard AI and report your identification code. Don't forget what you just went through. Be careful, enemies might have infiltrated!"

Every Japanese person knows about ghost stories like "substitute ghosts" and "one extra person," and just a reminder is enough to put everyone on alert.

"Biometric verification process has been initiated and is in progress."

Electronic sounds rang out one after another, and codes were identified one after another. The suspicions and doubts that had just arisen vanished instantly. Sarutobi had just breathed a sigh of relief when a series of gunshots suddenly rang out from his flank!

"Damn it, who told you to fire?!"

Although the other party's biometric code had been confirmed, at that moment, more than half of the electromagnetic guns were still aimed at the shooter.

The shooter seemed to realize his mistake and immediately raised his weapon above his head, saying nervously:
"Boss! I just saw a dark figure dart past! Right around the corner!"

"Send me the recording from your device!" Sarutobi no longer trusted humans at all. Even if what the other party said was true, they might have been controlled by a demon. Upon hearing this, the shooter immediately gave a series of voice commands.

The surrounding air suddenly became hot and dry.

In that image, there does indeed appear to be a human-shaped shadow.
