All of us are one

Chapter 26 The Influence of the Flying Sword

In the woods.

After Jiang Yanming and his senior brother and their team withdrew, they put all their weapons and equipment into their storage rings and took out the cell phones they had previously stored.

jingle……

A slightly jarring ringtone sounded, and Jiang Yanming looked up to see that it was Lucy calling.

"Jiang, are you still alive?" Lucy's melodious voice came through the phone.

"Of course I'm alive, otherwise who would be talking to you?" Jiang Yanming smiled helplessly and walked out of the woods along the path by the forest.

"Yes, you answered the phone, which means you're still alive." Lucy realized, then extended an invitation, "Would you like to come over for afternoon tea? I'll invite Arthur too."

"When?" Jiang Yanming did not refuse.

"The day after tomorrow afternoon," Lucy said, indicating the time.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there," Jiang Yanming replied.

"That's all for now, see you the day after tomorrow," Lucy said before hanging up the phone.

"He actually invited me..." Jiang Yanming smiled as he looked at his phone. "If Arthur knew, he'd be shocked."

"Sir, please stop!"

Suddenly, someone called out to Jiang Yanming.

Jiang Yanming turned around and saw three people in security uniforms, each carrying an automatic rifle, walking quickly toward him in the darkness.

"Excuse me, sir, are you from the South Bay neighborhood?" a security guard asked.

"No," Jiang Yanming replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, the three security personnel became alert and pointed their guns at Jiang Yanming, intentionally or unintentionally, to prevent themselves from being shot in the back.

"I'm sorry, sir, you cannot leave now."

The head security guard pointed to the professor's villa. "See that villa? It was just attacked. I think you might be able to help the CCPD, so please assist us."

"I was jogging at night and came over after hearing the explosion," Jiang Yanming said calmly. "I don't know exactly what happened at that villa."

"Sorry, we can only let you leave when the CCPD specialist arrives." The security personnel showed no intention of letting him go.

"Then let's go." Jiang Yanming showed no concern whatsoever, appearing completely calm and composed.

If he were a local, he might be afraid of being harassed by security and the CCPD, but this Chinese man from Shenwu was not afraid at all.

Even if he is the real culprit, even if he is near the crime scene, so what? Without concrete evidence, the CCPD can't do anything to him!

"please."

The security personnel politely invited Jiang Yanming to accompany them to Professor Tarot's villa.

now.

Outside Professor Tarot's villa, a large number of security personnel had gathered, sealing off the entire villa.

"Mr. Jiang!"

As soon as Jiang Yanming arrived outside the villa, a burly man in black wearing a headset greeted him.

"You know me?" Jiang Yanming asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Miss Lucy, we've been sent to protect you," the burly man in black replied.

"Yes, thank you." Jiang Yanming smiled upon hearing this, it seemed that Lucy was genuinely worried about his safety.

"Mr. Jiang." A burly man in a security uniform arrived.

"You're here too?" Jiang Yanming recognized the other person; he was one of Arthur's bodyguards.

"Young master sent us to protect you," the burly man replied.

"Mm." Jiang Yanming nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the three security personnel who had invited Jiang Yanming broke out in a cold sweat. They really hadn't expected that the person they had invited from the vicinity would have such great power.

"Do I still need to assist with the investigation?" Jiang Yanming asked, turning his head.

"unnecessary!"

"You do not need to assist with the investigation!"

You can leave at any time.

The three security guards shook their heads repeatedly, not daring to stop Jiang Yanming from leaving, as a large group of people were watching them closely!

"That's good." Jiang Yanming didn't make things difficult for the three of them. He turned to Arthur's bodyguard and said, "Just send a few people to take me back to Moon Island."

"Mr. Jiang, are you sure you want to go back?" asked the burly man in black sent by Lucy.

"Okay." Jiang Yanming nodded. "I'm fine now, you guys can go back."

"Understood." Upon hearing this, the burly man in black turned and winked at his subordinates. "Go back and report."

"Mr. Jiang, please follow me." Arthur's bodyguard led the way, and several security personnel followed.

The roof of a villa.

One person, hidden in the shadows, watched from afar as Jiang Yanming left under the protection of a group of people.

"Tsk! Ah Ming's making quite a show of things, and he's quite efficient at killing people, but he let two escape, so I have to clean up the mess."

The man was secretly amazed. "It's strange, where did Ah Ming find this electronic hacker who can control the aircraft despite the electronic pulse? But whoever that electronic hacker is, we have to tell Brother Jiang about this."

The man vanished into the shadows of the rooftop in a flash, unnoticed by anyone.

……

at the same time.

Inside a room, five people are gathered around a round table, talking.

"I just received intelligence from the Scaro family kid that the Four Nations Alliance has developed a new model of black flying device that can be used in the electronic pulse environment generated by military-grade electronic pulse rockets."

"How is that possible? The anti-electromagnetic pulse performance of the aircraft is far inferior to that of the mechanical cyborg module. If the Four Nations Alliance really develops such an aircraft, then we will be at a great disadvantage in future wars, and the Divine Martial Kingdom will not even need to intervene."

"Ask the Scaro family kid where he got this information. Maybe it was just a false alarm."

"There's no way to ask. Remote vital signs monitoring shows that the kid is already dead."

"Dead? It can't be true, can it?"

"We must investigate thoroughly; it's better to believe it's true than not!"

"According to the mission log, he went to warn Professor Tarot. Now he's gone. Is it because Professor Tarot was exposed, attracting the attention of the Four Nations Alliance officials who were lying in wait to ambush him?"

"Tarot's mission was to sow discord between the Four Kingdoms Alliance and the Divine Martial Kingdom. Because he hadn't completed the mission, he sent that kid to give them a warning, but unexpectedly... sigh!"

"This matter needs to be investigated carefully. It may not have been the work of the Four Nations Alliance. We can start by investigating the Tarot's network of relationships."

"Shouldn't the most important thing be that new black flying machine? What's Professor Chatterbox doing?"

"The Scaro family kid is dead, and we don't have his body. We also don't have detailed information about that new type of aircraft. How can we find anything without a thorough investigation?"

"Then let's find a way to get our hands on that kid's body, at least to get the chip from his brain. That way we might be able to get some information."

"Let's give it a try and see if those who have sided with us can get their hands on the chips."

"I think it's unlikely. If it's an official move by the Four Nations Alliance, you can imagine the level of secrecy. Those who have access to that level of intelligence can't be used casually in this situation."

"In that case, let's report it and let headquarters make a decision."

"agree."

I second that.

"Then let's report it."

……

Long Island neighborhood.

In a study of the Arthur family villa.

"Grandfather, I just received news that the professor has died."
