Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

With the manipulator gone, the phantom in front of Cang Lan and the others also disappeared.

They leaned their weapons on the ground, panting heavily.

Before this, they had no idea that they were actually so difficult to deal with.

Canglan looked at the increasingly rippling water in her hand and fell silent.

The battle between oneself and the copy, the collision and resonance of two rules, greatly accelerates and improves the synchronization rate.

The synchronization rate, which was originally only about 80%, has soared to over 90%, entering an extremely dangerous range.

He glanced at the somber expressions on Violet and Emerald's faces; clearly, their situations were similar to his own.

Has it really come to this?

He exhaled a long breath, and the water gradually gathered into his body.

Azure walked to Li Xia's side, looking warily at the tuner in front of her.

The tuner stood still and retrieved all the cylinders back behind him.

The mask flashed, and a cold voice said:

"The mission objective has been cleared. Mission accomplished. The Meta-Order leader will remember everyone's contributions."

Her body flew once again toward the rift in the sky, the passage constructed by RS-011, which could theoretically reach any location in the world in an instant.

"and many more."

Li Xia took a step forward and said calmly, "I want to see the leader of Yuanxu."

The tuner stopped and looked at Li Xia. Light flashed on the mask again, and the cold voice continued: "Request denied, insufficient permissions."

Li Xia narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying aura suddenly rose from his body.

The intense sense of oppression made Cang Lan and the others involuntarily take a step back to the side.

Li Xia's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "I said, I want to see the head of Yuanxu!"

The tuner clearly sensed the threat in Li Xia's tone.

She turned around, lowering her body as if facing a formidable enemy. Her armor clattered, and the ten divine protective rings glowed faintly once more, ready for battle.

The atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly stagnant; the mere clash of their breaths seemed to stir up a gale.

Cang Lan and the others looked at each other anxiously but dared not interrupt.

How could they possibly participate in a battle of this caliber?

"What should we do?" Jin Zi said softly.

From any perspective, she was absolutely inclined towards Darkflame, but the thought of directly confronting the leader of Yuanxu made her hesitant.

As the supreme authority in the shelter, the leader of the Yuanxu can even order the complete eradication of the entire back alley.

Azure lowered her voice: "Let's observe the situation first. If Dark Flame really falls into a disadvantageous position or is no match for us, find a way to rescue him and escape. I'll cover the rear!"

The atmosphere of clash between the two sides grew increasingly intense, and even the celestial phenomena overhead began to change accordingly.

Two enormous clouds swept in, colliding repeatedly in the sky above, then dispersing only to converge again, much like the physical manifestation of a confrontation between two people.

As the clash grew stronger, the tuner suddenly stood up and slowly withdrew his aura.

A series of lights flashed again on the mask, and she said coldly:

"Request approved."

Darkflame, Deputy General Manager of World Nine Wings and Fortified Defense, and Minister of Special Operations, you have been granted an audience with the leader of the Yuanxu Clan. The audience will take place in three days.

"Three days..."

Li Xia narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything. He simply slowly suppressed his aura as well.

Three days it is!

The tuner soared into the sky once more, and the rift opened again.

As the crack closed, the air returned to calm, leaving only the wrecked ground and the crimson stains covering it.

The three of them, Azure and Blue, stood to one side, silently watching the remains that once belonged to the other three.

After a long while, he sighed, silently summoned a stream of water, and washed the surrounding area clean.

Jin Zi and Fei Cui were taken aback, but they clearly understood his intention. They silently moved stones from nearby and piled them up to resemble a small grave mound.

And in front of them, using a hunter's unique ritual, an arrow was arranged pointing towards the sanctuary.

This is the hope that guides the hunters' souls so that they can eventually return home.

"Let's go back."

Azure shook her head and sighed silently.

.......................

The office's alloy door slid open to one side, and Li Xia walked in, throwing herself onto a recliner and putting her feet up on the table.

"Boss!"

The three little ones gathered around. The past two days had been peaceful, with nothing happening, so quiet that it even made him a little suspicious.

Li Xia closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then recounted the entire incident to the three boys in the team channel.

They listened attentively, and after Li Xia finished speaking, Aowu asked in confusion:

"Boss, why do we suddenly need to meet with Yuan Xu? Haven't we been avoiding direct contact with him before?"

Li Xia shook his head: "It's different now... This world is nearing its end, and if we don't meet again soon, we'll have little chance left."

He paused, then said meaningfully, "The leader of Yuanxu... he's in a hurry."

Chapter 31 Shocking News (Something's Happening)

"In a hurry?"

Awoo repeated himself, wagging his tail:

"Boss, how did you figure that out?"

"Don't you think... tuners shouldn't exist?"

Li Xia's eyes were still closed, but the scene of the tuner tearing open the passage through the containment object seemed to still be in her mind.

“Yuan Xu can wait until we complete our mission and take all those containment items back.”

But it didn't do that; instead, it rushed over even after I had completely taken control of the situation.

This behavior... seems very hasty, even a bit like—"

Aowu's eyes widened: "Murder to silence you?"

"It's very similar, which is why I said Yuanxu is in a hurry. This urgency is like a deadline is approaching, or like getting close to the goal, so he doesn't want to wait any longer."

Either way, it means that this world's mission has come to an end.

Li Xia smiled:

"It doesn't want to wait anymore, and neither do I. Let's face the original order head-on and see what it really is."

He stopped speaking and carefully recalled the scene of the previous battle. The three gray-white figures displayed another form of titled hunters.

They materialize the mental barrier, forming armor that covers their bodies, and further activate their divine power through some strange means.

It has indeed become much stronger, but only in terms of speed, defense, and attack; there has been no qualitative change.

It would be quite easy to fight...

But they said they've seen real breakthroughs, which means this path is also viable?

Li Xia rested her chin on her hand, her curiosity growing stronger.

Three days... three days it is!

Three days is enough to do a lot of things.

He suddenly picked up the phone on the table, and after a moment, Hua Wenfu's somewhat surprised voice came from the other end:

"Dark Flame? Why are you looking for me?"

Ever since that interrogation meeting, Huawenfu has been avoiding Li Xia, and unless absolutely necessary, she will never appear in front of Li Xia.

Li Xia thought it was fear, but Aowu insisted that the other party was a masochist and an extremely strong-worshipping type.

The reason was that the way Huawenxiong looked at him afterward that day was as if she wanted to meld him into her.

But Li Xia rejected Aowu's suggestion, saying that a little dragon who had never even been in a relationship knew nothing about love and romance.

"Come here, I need to talk to you."

Li Xia said a few words briefly, and immediately Hua Wenfu's cursing voice came from the other end. But after a while, the office door opened.

Wearing a trench coat over a short skirt, Flower Kiss Viper still appeared at the door with a sour face.

"what's up?"

She looked at Li Xia warily, but resolutely refused to step inside the door any further.

Li Xia frowned, raised his hand, and Hua Wenfu suddenly felt a strong suction force coming from in front of him, and involuntarily staggered a few steps in his direction.

The office door closed again, and Li Xia stood up. In the face of her increasingly frightened and confused gaze, he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her.

Hua Wenfu's body stiffened, her face instantly turning red. She was about to struggle when she heard Li Xia's soft voice in her ear:

"Is there any way to block Metasequence's surveillance? I need to contact Corned, and ideally, my conversation with him should also be blocked?"

The blush on Huawen Viper's face faded quickly, and the dazed look in her eyes soon turned clear. She turned her head away, as if whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

The same faint voice replied, "Yes, but it's difficult. Why should I help you?"

“Something’s happened. There’s not enough time right now. You can listen in on my conversation with Corned.”

Flower-Kissing Viper was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The two parted, and Flower Kiss Viper gave a charming smile: "Then it's a date... tonight at your place..."

Watching her figure disappear through the door, Aowu remained silent for a while before suddenly saying:

"Boss, I don't think she's acting."

Black Charcoal nodded in agreement.

Li Xia tapped both of them on the head, then picked up the walkie-talkie again:

"Mr. Corned?"

"Dark Flame?"

Li Xia put her feet back on the table, appearing quite relaxed.

"I found a bottle of good wine from before the cataclysm on this trip. It was uncontaminated and very well preserved."

I think..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Such fine wine, I absolutely must invite you to taste it..."

There was silence on the intercom, then suddenly Corned's soft laughter came through:

"Oh? Is that so? Then I definitely have to try it! When?"

"How about we go to my place this afternoon?"

"can!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xia let out a breath. This old fox... was indeed cunning.

You need to be very careful when scheming against them, but they almost never disappoint you when it comes to hinting at something.

After finishing those two tasks, he did nothing more than take the snacks for the three little ones and casually watched the exciting programs on the monitor.

I wait patiently for the time to come.
