Bai Ye walked down the street with his hands in his pockets, then entered the building.
Although Bai Ye felt it was a foolish thing to assassinate a group of "zombies," Allen, as the captain, had already given the order, so that's what they would do.
Moreover, Bai Ye thought about it carefully and felt that it wouldn't be bad to have more contact with the crystal people. If he was lucky, he might find some clues to guide Allen and the others.
However, Bai Ye was not in a hurry about this matter.
Li Chengjie was dead, and the only stumbling block in the team was gone. As long as they continued to explore the border, the truth would be easily revealed.
What Bai Ye cared about more was Yimi.
From the current situation, although Yimi's mission was unclear, they were likely to be adversaries with Bai Ye.
The reason was that although Bai Ye's situation was not clear, Yimi knew about Bai Ye's mission completion percentage, which meant Yimi had some understanding of Bai Ye's mission. 138 Reading Network
Since that was the case, Yimi still made a move, which naturally meant that their missions were likely in conflict.
This made Bai Ye quite curious about Yimi's mission. If there was a conflict, and Yimi was from the Rhine Company, then why kill Li Chengjie?
Bai Ye felt a headache coming on. The feeling of a master lurking was not right, it was probably someone else besides Yimi.
The feeling of two masters lurking was really not good.
While Bai Ye was thinking, Ji Ruyue was going crazy. She grabbed the intercom and said, "Bai Ye, are you crazy? Why are you taking the elevator?"
Bai Ye snapped back to attention, picked up the intercom, and said, "Is there a problem?"
"Do you know how loud the elevators in these old buildings are? Do you think those crystal people are deaf?" Ji Ruyue said angrily, "Aren't you good at assassination? Is this how you do it?"
The elevator creaked and groaned, then the iron gate was pulled open, and a crystal person appeared in front.
Bai Ye pointed forward and said, "I am quite good at it."
Zzzzzlap!
Electric arcs jumped from Bai Ye's fingertips, and then a current shot forward.
With a boom!
The current struck the crystal person's chest and then exploded.
Shattered along with the arcs were the crystals on the crystal person's body. In an instant, it fell into pieces and exploded into a pile of fragments.
The next moment, with a thud, the crystal person crashed to the ground.
Ji Ruyue swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. From her perspective, as soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, a crystal person was taken down by Bai Ye.
After choking, Ji Ruyue could only say, "There are crystal people at the corner of the stairwell ahead and at the zig-zag turns in the stairwell. Be careful not to alert them."
"Oh!"
Bai Ye agreed and then swaggered forward.
Careful?
What was there to be careful about?
With no one else around, Bai Ye could go all out, and he didn't have to wrestle with those crystal people anymore. Were those crystal people his match?
Thinking this, Bai Ye turned the corner and, after loosely holding his hand to the side, the Steel Slime condensed into "Startling Thunder Purple Lightning."
Pfft!
The crystal person hiding in the corner turned around, but the moment its eyes met Bai Ye's, a sword light flashed.
The crystal person's head flew off, tumbling in the air.
Its body fell backward, and after hitting the ground, a large amount of crystal dust scattered.
The commotion attracted the attention of the crystal people on the upper floors, but the moment they poked their heads out, Bai Ye formed a sword seal. Immediately, "Startling Thunder Purple Lightning" turned into a black current and shot out.
With one strike, the crystal person's body was pierced by the black current. The immense force even dragged the crystal person three meters back, smashing it against the wall.
Bai Ye continued to move upwards. As he passed by a corpse, he reached out, and "Startling Thunder Purple Lightning" transformed back into a sword shape and returned to Bai Ye's hand.
Ji Ruyue paid special attention to Bai Ye's movements, and then...
Ji Ruyue was speechless.
She really couldn't see where Bai Ye was good at assassination. He just walked past, didn't he?
But strangely, the moment Bai Ye passed, those crystal people were inexplicably taken down!
Ji Ruyue couldn't actually see through things or predict the future. She only had very keen senses and could infer the future based on the information gathered by her senses.
Therefore, Ji Ruyue didn't actually know how Bai Ye did it.
But Bai Ye did it...
Then it didn't matter. The important thing was not the process; how he did it didn't matter, as long as he could do it.
The result was what mattered!
Ji Ruyue turned to help the others, while Bai Ye continued to move up.
"Huh?"
Seeing another crystal person, Bai Ye paused, then picked up the intercom.
"I found something interesting here. It looks like we need to keep them alive."
Allen's voice came through, "What did you find?"
Bai Ye said, "There's a crystal person wearing a white coat, with a work badge on its chest. Hmm, to be more direct, the person is a Rhine Company staff member."
A surprised voice came from the intercom, "Why is someone from Rhine Company here, and why have they become a crystal person?"
Why else?
They were infected during an experiment and also became crystal people. However, they had no research value and were the lowest-tier defective products, so they were discarded.
Bai Ye said, "I captured the person?"
Allen asked, "Is it convenient? Or should we send backup?"
"It's fine, I can handle it myself," Bai Ye said. "We'll meet on the street later."
After speaking, Bai Ye released Gengar and Goodra from their Beast Balls.
As soon as Gengar appeared, it stuck out its big tongue and licked Bai Ye's face, covering Bai Ye in drool.
Goodra, not to be outdone, bit Bai Ye's head and then firmly hugged Bai Ye, bathing Bai Ye with its sticky mucus, making Bai Ye all wet.
"Stop messing around!" Bai Ye patted Gengar and Goodra's heads affectionately, then said, "You guys continue up the other staircase and take down all the crystal people in this building."
Although Gengar and Goodra liked to fool around, they were very obedient when it came to business. After nodding, they followed Bai Ye's orders and continued up the stairs from the other staircase.
Bai Ye, on the other hand, walked towards the crystal person in the white coat.
At a distance of about three meters, the crystal person sensed Bai Ye's presence, suddenly turned around, and raised its right hand.
Crack, crack!
Crystals spread along its arm, covering the entire forearm and transforming into a sharp cone shape.
"Oh?" Bai Ye grinned. "Not the worst defective product after all, but one that has a certain degree of crystallization ability?"
