Chapter 156 Uninvited Guests (Update Completed)

"Who are you?"

Ji Lin looked at the tip of the knife close at hand and swallowed.

He faced the blade held by Gui Yu and the question implicit in her voice.

Gui Yu stared at Ji Lin.

This officer and her, it wasn't until today that she remembered where she had seen people like Ji Lin. One was General Bai Zhan at a banquet, and the other was her teacher. On the outside, he is gentle, friendly, and stable, but on the inside, he is a working machine without any emotions, precise and efficient, and he puts everything under the control of his own machine.

He is the kind of person who is truly qualified to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

There may be a misunderstanding, but Gui Yu believes in his own judgment.

Ji Lin has tried his best to hide himself, but the behavioral habits accumulated over decades are not so easy. When assigning tasks to the rangers, he will always inadvertently reveal some behaviors that are extremely difficult for others to detect.

It was this weak sense of foreignness that Gui Yu was extremely keenly aware of, leaving a trace of doubt in his heart.

He is not a very good pretender. Ji Lin is just a commander, not an ace spy.

And when he pushed his head into the toilet, he couldn't imagine that Gui Yu would put suspicion on him because of such a problem. And if he knew that Gui Yu had such a high opinion of himself, maybe Ji Lin would You can take two more bites of food.

He had just come to deliver the meal when he was stopped by Gui Yu, and then she pointed a long sword at his chest. She was rightly suspicious of the officer beside her.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

It is impossible for him to say that he is a time traveler, maybe he is just a passerby in this world?

But since the other party opened the sky and spoke openly like this, Ji Lin must immediately make up an excuse to fool Gui Yu.

"Don't, lie to me."

Gui Yu seemed to understand his plan and said to him softly.

"Otherwise I won't believe you."

Gui Yu is not his subordinate like Jeanne. He does not need to give any reason to instill her thoughts in Jeanne. However, what Ji Lin is doing now is completely inconsistent with a leading officer and a leader in this era. outsider.

He was too concerned about what Gui Yu and Wang Qing were doing, and maybe his secret was exposed because of this.

To be honest, they will be silenced by the system. They cannot reveal their true identity, which will have an extremely bad impact on the world line.

A scream pierced the silent night sky, breaking the increasingly cold air between the two of them.

Ji Lin and Gui Yu both turned their gazes to the door, where several black figures were approaching them leisurely.

Thanks to the completely empty area around the Leyline Tower, he was able to use this scream to detect anomalies in the square in time.

With the help of some moonlight cast from the sky, Ji Lin confirmed that it was a machine man with his arm raised high. It is different from the mechanical men Ji Lin usually sees. The wooden material that makes up it is thicker, and its lower body has four square legs, which support its progress like a crab, making this mechanical man look more like a centaur bathing in the water. Under the moonlight.

It's just that this centaur holds an extremely deadly weapon in his hands.

It raised the loaded crossbow in its hand and raised it.

And the one blocking its shooting path was himself.

Ji Lin's pupils shrank, his breathing quickened, and he threw Gui Yu to the ground without thinking, carrying her and rolling her into the blind spot in the outside view of the entire room that he had already confirmed.

Then the sound of breaking through the air came, passing a distance of two hundred meters, a long arrow was nailed to the position where they were originally standing, and sank into the hard wooden board for several inches.

"You, what are you doing!"

Gui Yu struggled in his arms, obviously frightened by Ji Lin's rough tactics, and then immediately reacted and saw the arrow landing at his original position.

If Ji Lin had stayed a second longer, she would have been severely injured by this crossbow arrow, or even died from this crossbow arrow.

These medium-sized airborne crossbows, which were supposed to penetrate enemy equipment, were used against them.

Those crossbow arrows, which are half as thick as an arm, are absolutely too much for the human body to bear. If they hit them, their limbs will be scrapped. Those who come here use these killing weapons just to kill them.

There is no turning back.

"Mechanic, there must be an Mechanic nearby who is operating a Mechanic."

Gui Yu, who was held in his arms, lowered his head, bit his pink lips, suppressed his panic, thought quickly, and spoke softly.

"If I can go out, maybe I can sense the location of the mechatronic master through my veins..."

Speaking of this, Gui Yu suddenly stopped talking. Where were the machine technicians who originally followed her? They should be keeping vigil at night. How could they be placed within a straight line distance of two hundred meters from these war machinemen.

That scream just now, did they also encounter something unexpected...

Ji Lin listened vigilantly to the sounds coming from the wind to judge the relative distance between the intruder and himself.

There were not many blind spots in the room, and the machine man holding a crossbow outside was gradually approaching. Once this thing entered the room, Ji Lin had no chance of winning. If he read correctly, there would definitely be more than one machine man.

There are also several machine people who are approaching the giant machine bird at their own pace.

"No need."

Ji Lin rejected Gui Yu's dangerous move. He had his own backup plan and put his fingers together to his mouth.

The whistle blows.

The sharp sound resounded throughout the square.

Enemy attack.

Under the cover of night, the rangers moved in response to the call.

The vigil force he deployed is still working continuously and steadily.

Now is the time for them to play a role.

"Heh, hiding?"

In the distance, the white-robed mechanical wizard standing on the rooftop observing the wooden giant bird sighed with regret, as if he was regretting the death of a genius. Behind him stood seven mechanical wizards wearing the same robes. They closed their eyes and concentrated, manipulating various mechanical mechanisms to move forward.

If Gui Yu was here, she could recognize that the seven mechanical wizards standing behind the white-robed mechanical wizard were seven of the eight mechanical wizards who came with her.

The last mechanical wizard used his life to warn Gui Yu at the last moment, and exchanged his life for hers.

Without notifying Gui Yu, they betrayed her and killed a colleague.

"It's a pity that the first sneak attack failed. If you die at this time, maybe you can feel better."

Then, he seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be explaining to several Mohist disciples behind him.

"Gui Yu, Gui Yu, this kind of thing is not something you can discover. Even if you are the chief star vein master of this term, the chief is just a title, without real power. Your plan has seriously threatened their decision-making, and the emperor will not want to see this scene."

This world is deeply bound to the earth vein. If they destroy the earth vein according to her idea to calm the world, how should they survive? They rely on the earth vein to get to where they are now, whether it is status or power.

The privileged class does not want to see this plan appear at all. Apart from anything else, can those nobles and royal families bear to return to an era without the assistance of earth vein machinery?

Even if the world will perish, it will be a matter of generations. They can still enjoy themselves in peace. When natural disasters occur frequently, they will change a city. It is only the civilians who are endangered. This is not bad. They can also extract the earth vein energy of the abandoned city without psychological burden to replenish the city where the nobles and royal families live.

The Momen today is no longer the Momen of a thousand years ago. There are countless spies planted in it.

If her plan was made public to everyone, those radical elements in the Mo Sect might do something dangerous. This world does not need a strong medicine. Many people can die, but they cannot die.

How could his colleagues not understand such a simple thing at all?

Thinking of this, the white-clothed mechanical magician could not help but sneer and gave the mechanical man under his command an attack order. As long as they could break into the giant bird, it would be a simple matter to get rid of her.

At this time, a whistle came from the giant bird and echoed in the empty square.

The white-clothed mechanical magician was stunned for a moment and did not react for a while.

The precise arrow silently crossed the night sky.

"You like to stand on the roof, right? I really can't stand you guys."

The sergeant who raised the crossbow arrow moved his eyes away from the mountain and spat fiercely at the ground. The rangers who were half-kneeling and aiming beside him pulled the trigger one after another, and the arrows silently crossed the deep night sky and pierced through flesh and blood.

The mechanical arts strengthened their physical fitness a little, but facing this precise and deadly surprise attack, the mechanical artists didn't even have time to react.

"Damn, you idiots, do you really think there is nothing you can do to you?"
