Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

Well, let's leave it to the police.

……

It turns out that Lan Guanghong's caution was not unnecessary.

The first time he entered the outlaw base, he underwent a strict inspection to ensure that he was not carrying any positioning devices or unknown devices.

As for the imperial stone on the belt?

"I don't know." Lan Guanghong, still maintaining his Black posture, spread out his hands: "This is what happens after becoming a desperado."

"Get out of the way! How could there be any problem with the person I brought back?"

Frio, who had already lost his patience, kicked the diligent believer away and brought Lan Guanghong into the room reserved for these cadres.

This is a dark room with a red light.

In fact, apart from the gloomy atmosphere and the intricate demonic marks on the wall, this room looks like a simple living room. There are retro red sofas on each side of a coffee table, and no other furniture.

The most eye-catching thing is the stone statue-like object placed on the altar in front.

Although he had never seen it before, Lan Guanghong knew what it was at a glance.

The sealed ancestor demon, the source of the turmoil in this world - Kief!

Under the altar, a charming figure in a red dress was lying on it, making a coquettish sound.

"Ah, Master Keef."

"I really want to see you soon~ Master Keef."

"Master Aguilera." Frio excitedly approached and shouted to the man, "I found a new desperado, come and have a look... Ouch!"

She slapped Forrio away.

"Don't interrupt me when Lord Kif is talking." The woman called Aguilera turned around, revealing her beautiful and charming face.

"Hmm?" Aguilera frowned deeply when she saw the blue light red for the first time: "Second level?"

"Yeah!" Frio covered half of his face, his excited expression unchanged. "This person immediately became a Level 2 cultivator after using the Sin Seal. He's a natural-born sacrifice!"

"What?" Lan Guanghong immediately grasped the key words: "Sacrifice?"

"That's right, we are all sacrifices." Having already arrived at his territory, Frio stopped pretending: "The purpose of the Desperate Clan's existence is to select the right person to become the sacrifice for Lord Kif's resurrection."

"Ah, this, this!" Lan Guanghong's hands trembled slightly.

Seeing him like this, Aguilera and Forio's eyes suddenly flashed with dangerous light.

Humph, you don't want to be a sacrifice? Now that you're here, it's not up to you...

"That would be great!"

Aguilera, Forrio:?

"Hey, how do we offer the sacrifice? I can't wait to sacrifice my life for Lord Kief!" Lan Guanghong looked at the stone statue with a fanatical look on his face.

The two cadres were stunned with shock.

How come this person seems more loyal than us?

Who are the desperate people?

They didn't know that although Lan Guanghong seemed fanatical on the surface, he actually had the exact opposite idea in his heart.

"If I give him a hand now, will the demon incident be over?"

Although he is not very proficient in controlling Black's power now, he can still easily perform a nuclear kick with all his strength, which is something that can be done with feet.

But after a little thought, Lan Guanghong gave up the idea.

One reason is that there are too many believers gathered here, and these believers are basically people who cannot even be born as first-level desperadoes. They just went astray for a while and their crimes do not deserve death.

Secondly, he didn't know whether this kick could really kill Keef, and even if it did, what consequences would it cause?

If the original demon disappears, Falia will also disappear...

"Let's go back and ask Karisaki first. We've already found the enemy's hideout, and these terrorists can't escape."

Lan Guanghong made the decision silently.

While he was thinking, Forrio kept explaining.

"...So there's no need for you to sacrifice your life now. Master Keef's resurrection requires six sacrifices, and they must be third-level demons. You're still short of... huh?!"

Forrio turned around suddenly.

Aguilera also turned around at the same time, and the two of them stared in amazement at the eyeball-shaped crystal in the center of the Kif statue, which was emitting a strange red light.

A wave of energy emanated from the stone statue, aiming directly at—blue light and red!

"Ok?"

Lan Guanghong also felt that the Emperor Stone on his waist was slightly hot, as if he regarded the fluctuations released by Kief as a provocation, and he was about to fight with it immediately.

"Damn, Brother Shi, calm down. Now is not the time to fight!" Lan Guanghong was shocked and hurriedly controlled the Emperor Stone to retract the gradually rising energy.

The threat disappeared, and the crystal eyes of the Kif statue flickered twice before returning to their original silence.

However, what just happened was seen by the two cadres.

How to do?

A flash of inspiration appeared in the blue and red brain!

“Hahahaha…!” He put his hands on his hips and laughed out loud. Under the puzzled gazes of the two people, he suddenly cancelled his transformation.

"I'm at level three!" Lan Guanghong said proudly with his head held high.

Aguilera, Forrio: ???

There is a risk that demons in the second stage will not be able to transform back into human form unless they have a special sin mark or other breakthroughs.

The third level is different. As a high-level desperado above the second level, the most notable feature is that it can switch freely between humans and desperadoes.

But there is a prerequisite for the third level, that is, one must be recognized by Kief and be given power by it before entering the third level. Therefore, the third-level desperado is also called Kief's envoy.

Frio and Ortega, who are also cadres, are the desperadoes at this stage. Entering this stage also means officially becoming a sacrifice.

Now, Blue Light Red was able to transform back into a human, which in their opinion undoubtedly meant that he had passed Keef's approval.

As for the energy fluctuations just now, it was the Kif statue strengthening him.

"Si Guoyi!"

Furio's eyes sparkled with excitement: "I was right about you. You are a born desperado!"

"Master Aguilera, he... uh, what's your name?"

Chapter 19 (Revised) Now is the Knight Time

"Let me introduce you to Mephisto, a third-level demon. You will be our companion from now on."

Aguilera lay on the sofa and perfunctorily told the two desperadoes who had just returned the pseudonym that Lan Guanghong had just made up.

Lan Guanghong glanced at him, always feeling that there was a strong hint of jealousy in her words.

"Oh, it's directly the third level?!"

Olutega, dressed in a colorful green, was startled when he heard her introduction.

He naturally understood what the third level represented. He was somewhat dissatisfied when he received the summons order, thinking that it was just a candidate for sacrifice and not worth his supervision.

I didn’t expect that the person who came directly was a special envoy from Kief. This is really a surprise!

It should be a very good tool.

"Welcome to the Outlaws, I am Ortega." Ortega gave Lan Guanghong a kind smile.

Lan Guanghong grinned and said, "Hello, senior. I am Mephisto."

Compared to Oruta's enthusiasm, the other person seemed a little indifferent, even hostile.

"Hmph, can this guy really be trusted?" The man in black with a serious face glanced at him. "He won't even tell us where he came from. How suspicious!"

"Hey! What do you mean?"

Before Lan Guanghong could say anything, the hot-tempered Frio slammed the table at the man in anger: "Are you questioning me and Master Aguilera?"

"Or are you so used to pretending to be Phoenix's commander that you really think you're the commander? Let me make it clear to you, this is not your command center!"

Hearing this, the man was stunned, then turned his head and remained silent.

Lan Guanghong's heart moved.

There are two implications to what Forrio said.

For one, this desperado has the ability to disguise himself, and now appears to be Commander Phoenix.

Secondly, he's been playing this character for a long time. Excluding the low possibility that he's a pervert who likes the commander and wants to be him, the only possibility left is...

Li Daitao is stiff!

I have to say that this move is really amazing. After all, who would have thought that the chief officer of Phoenix, which specializes in dealing with desperadoes, is actually a desperado in disguise?

"Wow, this senior is actually the commander of Phoenix?" Lan Guanghong took the initiative to change the subject, and said in amazement: "How amazing! How did you do it?"

"Well, not yet."

The targeted person took the initiative to come to the rescue, and the cold-faced man was embarrassed to keep his cold face: "But I have learned every move of Wakabayashi Yujiro, I am just waiting for an opportunity!"

"Also, just call me Chameleon."

"Okay, Senior Chameleon." Lan Guanghong smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Hasn't the original Commander Wakabayashi been replaced yet?

That’s good, there’s still time to save him.

"Your chance is coming soon." Olutega smiled slightly. "Tomorrow, Phoenix will hold a ceremony to appoint squad leaders. Many people will be watching the event."

"We will raid the venue then, which will definitely attract the attention of Phoenix Air Base. After that, it's all up to you."

If Lin heard the plan, his eyes would light up.

"I understand!"

"Wait a minute!" Lan Guanghong raised his hand in time: "I want to go with Senior Chameleon."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because among the people attending the meeting tomorrow, there are people I know well." Lan Guanghong touched his chin, remembering the invitation Xingshi had sent him two days ago to attend the appointment meeting for the captains of the sophomore squad.

—Sorry, I may have to break my promise.

"He's the captain of Phoenix's squad. I think if I don't reveal my identity, I might be able to get some special information from him in the future."

"After all, there are some things that subordinates won't report to their superiors, okay?" Lan Guanghong raised an eyebrow at Fake Lin. "Besides, if I can attract Phoenix's attention, it will be easier for Senior Chameleon to succeed, right?"

"Then it's settled!"

Frio finalized the plan and then hurriedly stood up and walked outside: "I'm going to capture the death row prisoner. Master Aguilera, please wait for my good news!"

"Wait, I'll go too." Lan Guanghong followed Furio with a smile: "I want to learn the working style of our Desperadoes. Senior Furio, you won't leave me with you, right?"

Forrio: “…”

……

Early the next morning, Lan Guanghong put on the Phoenix staff uniform prepared in advance and followed Chameleon disguised as another staff member to sneak into the Phoenix headquarters.

To be honest, he felt that the person who designed the base like this was somewhat crazy.

Just because your ground base was attacked once, you build an air base?

What's the difference between that and a living target? Not only is it huge and difficult to avoid, but if a traitor shows up and causes it to crash, no one inside will be able to escape.

It's like a flying grave!

"Tsk tsk, thank goodness I'm here."

"Huh? What did you say?"
