Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 216 Alliances and Traps

"We're new here and don't have any intelligence. Do you think we'd believe you so easily? We're not children. Even children wouldn't be that naive."

Wen Lie waved to Liu Qiang.

"Whether an alliance is necessary or not, I'll give you an answer later. We won't detain you either, so you can go back."

"That's right, then we'll wait for your news."

Liu Qiang nodded, as if it was a matter of course.

"Mikami, let's go."

The girl named San Shang was a man of few words. She walked with Liu Qiang but didn't say a word.

When Liu Qiang turned and left, San Shang followed in silence.

After the two men left, Wen Lie said, "Zhan Lan, scan it."

Zhan Lan immediately closed his eyes and used his mental power to scan.

The mental scan should have been used immediately after entering the horror movie, but the Zhongzhou team was still a little lax, so they did not use the mental scan to confirm the environment until they met with other members of the Samsara team.

Zhan Lan's mental power extended in all directions, carefully detecting the surrounding environment.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and said to everyone, "We've found the members of the East China Sea team. They seemed to be showing their sincerity by not using a mental shield."

As he spoke, Zhan Lan used the mind chain to share the detected information with Wen Lie, Zheng Zha, and Chu Xuan.

"I don't know if anyone has left, but there are only 10 reincarnations in Tokyo. Besides Liu Qiang and Mikami, there are still 8..."

The number of places for the Mind Chain is limited. While Wen Lie and others are observing the members of the East China Sea team through Zhan Lan's Mind Chain, Zhan Lan kindly tells others about the characteristics of the East China Sea team members.

A middle-aged man who looks friendly and dominant in the team should be the captain of the Donghai team.

A bald man without any weapon, who looked a bit gangster-like, seemed to be the fellow villager Liu Qiang mentioned.

A middle-aged man holding a trident, his face looks weathered.

A man with blood-red eyes, he must be strengthening some kind of pupil technique.

There are four other members, and nothing special seems to be there on the surface.

Seeing all the members of the East China Sea team, Zheng Zha sighed belatedly, "Come to think of it, we have so many people on the Central Continent team."

In the three team battles so far, the four reincarnation teams have basically had about 10 members. We have never seen a team as close to full as the Zhongzhou team.

Wen Lie ignored Zheng Zha's sigh and asked Chu Xuan, "Did you see anything?"

"It's just to determine the number of enemies. It's dispensable information."

Compared to the East China Sea team, Chu Xuan's focus is on the personnel of Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

In the classroom of Tokyo Jujutsu High School, a handsome, white-haired man wearing sunglasses was sleeping on a chair.

2.5 Satoru, the most powerful sorcerer of the time.

In addition to Gojo Satoru, Ieiri Shoko who was napping in the infirmary, Yaga Masamichi who was sewing dolls in the principal's office, Ijichi Kitaka who was waiting next to the torii, Itadori Yuji, Kugisaki Nobara, and Fushiguro Megumi who were walking in the corridor of the teaching building also appeared in the range of the mental scan one after another.

Chu Xuan calmly suggested: "Let's go to Tokyo Jujutsu High School first. Someone is waiting for us."

Wen Lie accepted Chu Xuan's suggestion and led everyone towards the Polytechnic Institute. As they walked, Ming Yanwei asked Wen Lie, "Just now, you said that Liu Qiang and San Shang were abandoned without any cost. What did you mean by that?"

Zheng Zha said, "Didn't I tell you before? It was just a misunderstanding, right?"

Chu Xuan shook his head slightly: "With the wisdom of mortals, do you still think that the East China Sea team is a harmonious team?"

Zheng Zha said unconvincedly, "Do I have the wisdom of a mortal? I think what I said before was very reasonable."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Reasonable doesn't mean right. Sending two weak members to face a strong team they don't know anything about, and they're women, may be a way to let the Zhongzhou team down, but it's more likely a decoy."

"Bait?"

"At least two C-rank side stories, 4000 reward points, 2-point bait, women from a weak team, only two of them. Don't you think this is a trap to tempt us to kill them? One wrong thought and they'll die."

Zheng Zha asked in confusion: "But why?"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "You have to pick on the weak. For the East China Sea team, the Zhongzhou team is the weak one."

Wang Xia asked in surprise, "Are we pushovers?"

Before he finished speaking, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

The Zhongzhou team is seen as a weakling. Is this some kind of joke specifically made to make them laugh?
Wen Lie shrugged. "Compared to the West Sea Team, which only has two members and is colluding with the villains, the Central Continent Team is truly a weakling. Even if we try our best to kill a member of the West Sea Team, we might not succeed. And if we want to kill a member of the Central Continent Team, it's impossible for all 16 members to be strong."

Everyone's smiles changed and became indifferent.

It is true that not all of the 16 members of the Zhongzhou team are strong.

However, they all have their gene locks activated and have redemptions starting from level B.

Such a configuration would be the backbone of any normal team. Those who want to treat them as soft persimmons will find that they are pinching a durian.

Zheng Zha frowned. He still found it difficult to understand the conclusion drawn by Wen Lie and Chu Xuan.

"Is the East China Sea team really that mad? They're determined to fight a stronger opponent just for the sake of profit, especially when there are other enemies around."

Wen Lie said matter-of-factly, "Is it crazy? For the rulers of that nation, isn't this basic? Some people always delude themselves into thinking they can only beat others, and others can't beat them."

Wang Xia asked in confusion, "But the East China Sea team wanted to kill us, so why did they send people over for us to kill?"

Xiao Honglu sneered and said, "Because this is the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, the world's strongest human is not far away. If we attack Liu Qiang and Mikami, Gojo Satoru will rush over immediately and regard us as enemies. Although I don't know how long the Tokai team has been operating, they will definitely not ignore Gojo Satoru's favor."

Zhang Jie asked doubtfully, "So they don't care about the West Sea Team anymore? They've turned the Zhongzhou Team into the enemy. How are we going to deal with the West Sea Team and the villains?"

Chu Xuan said, "As long as Gojo Satoru is not sealed, the villain's plan will not succeed. The general trend of the curse world is still there. Judging from the style of the breeders, neither the West Sea team nor the villains will risk attacking the East Sea team staying at the Tokyo Curse High School."

Zheng Zha said in a deep voice, "In other words, Liu Qiang and San Shang are actually trying to trick us. Their proposed alliance is devoid of any sincerity?"

Chu Xuan shook his head. "No, the alliance is sincere. The East China Sea team has made two preparations. If the lure plan fails, the focus will be on the alliance. Liu Qiang and San Shang, who took the risk to negotiate with the Zhongzhou team, will also become the basis for the Zhongzhou team to trust the East China Sea team. In the future, when they fight with the West China Sea team, if the East China Sea team takes advantage of their misfortune, the Zhongzhou team will suffer heavy losses. As for Liu Qiang and San Shang..."

Before he could finish his words, everyone had already walked the long mountain road.

A red torii gate stood in front. Ijichi Jiegao, who looked prematurely aged, immediately walked over when he saw the people from Team Nakasu.

"Welcome to the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Jutsu, fellow jutsu masters from China. I am Assistant Supervisor Ichichi Jiegao."

Yidi Zhijiegao bowed respectfully to Wen Lie and greeted him. He held a stack of documents in both hands and handed them to the people of the Zhongzhou team.
