KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
A crisp knocking sound rang out. Feng Guansheng immediately straightened his collar and walked directly to the door.
This Feng Guansheng... he hasnât taken any defensive measures in his own office!
His plan is to hedge his bets.
If Peng Junâs plan succeeds, the outcome will naturally be obvious.
But if Peng Junâs plan fails, then, by not setting up any defenses, he can feign inaction. Later, with a few cunning tricks, he can shift the blame for the human clone army onto someone else!
Feigning innocence, yes, thatâs what Feng Guansheng is thinkingâfeign innocence!
The Academy of Sciencesâ human clone army isnât solely controlled by Feng Guansheng! Several people have the authority to activate it!
Among them is that brash young kid Wei Tian... he can take the blame! After all, this fellowâs capabilities are impressive, threatening my position as Dean of the Academy of Sciences!
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Guansheng ambled to the office door and flung it open.
Then, a distinctive-looking pistol was pressed against Feng Guanshengâs head.
"What... what are you doing?"
Looking at Wei Tian before him, and behind Wei Tian, a strong black man and a little loli, Feng Guanshengâs mind filled with questions and terror.
Unfortunately, in the next second, it was all over.
BANG!
The sound wasnât loud, but the effect was devastating.
The modified pistol fired a single shot that blew Feng Guanshengâs head apart.
Then, a smile on his face, Wei Tian spoke to Feng Guanshengâs corpse.
"The militaryâs Xuanwu War God sends his regards. Have a pleasant trip to hell, fool!"
"Mission accomplished. I just didnât expect this guy to be completely defenseless. Looks like he was planning to shift the blame onto me. So the two people you assigned me were a waste of effort."
Hearing Wei Tianâs words, Lin Haifeng sounded slightly frustrated.
"It doesnât matter. I also didnât expect Feng Guansheng to be this foolish."
"In that case, should I send the two people with me back?"
Lin Haifeng thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"No need. Let those two be responsible for your safety. After all, youâre currently the only one in the military who can activate the Black Tortoise."
"Understood."
After speaking, Lin Haifeng hung up the communicator. He looked at the increasingly chaotic scene outside the window, shook his head gently, then turned away from the window and sat directly in his office chair. His hands began to move with blurring speed!
After a moment, a pot of steaming, fragrant tea was ready. Then, he bent down, retrieved four additional cups from a desk drawer, and filled them.
"The Dao of Tea is the path to appreciating its aesthetic beauty."
"The focus isnât merely on the taste in oneâs mouth, but on the process of brewing the tea. If you brew tea with true dedication, you will feel it as a baptism and sublimation of the spirit."
"I personally love to brew tea and to drink it, because I enjoy the process more than the outcome."
"For in my eyes, the outcome is, in fact, already set."
"Please, have some tea."
After Lin Haifeng finished speaking, he placed two teacups on the table opposite him.
However, the person opposite him did not accept Lin Haifengâs gesture.
"Then, Iâd like to ask Commander Lin a question: will you die?"
Lin Haifeng took a light sip of tea and nodded decisively.
"I will. Everyone dies, and I am no exception. However, I will not die today."
"Oh?"
Yang Pengguang arched an eyebrow slightly.
"I donât believe it."
"Itâs not important whether you believe it. What matters is, do *you* believe it, Fang Bai?"
Beside Yang Pengguang, Fang Bai calmly regarded Lin Haifeng, who was seated in the hostâs position. He then picked up his teacup and drained the tea within.
"I believe!"
After he finished speaking, the massive battle halberd in his hand swung with all his might towards Yang Pengguangâs head!
"Because Iâm here!"
A colossal Demon God Phantom erupted from Fang Bai, instantly merging with him. This fusion caused Fang Baiâs aura to surge wildly, growing stronger at an insane rate.
Faced with his companionâs sudden assault, Yang Pengguang clearly couldnât react in time, staring at Fang Bai in astonishment.
Barely managing to parry Fang Baiâs heavy blow, Yang Pengguang decisively retreated to the edge of the office, asking in disbelief.
"What are you doing? What in the world are you doing?"
"Killing, of course. Isnât that why you brought me here?"
Fang Bai regarded Yang Pengguang with a calm expression, then slowly repositioned himself, placing his body between Yang Pengguang and Lin Haifeng.
"But I decide who dies!"
"That boy, Fang Bai," Lin Haifeng said, watching the fight, "I watched him grow up. Heâs suffered a great deal recently."
Lin Haifeng quietly sipped his tea as he watched the contest between Fang Bai and Yang Pengguang, completely unconcerned about the outcome of their battle.
Meanwhile, the entire office was enveloped by a massive barrier. The barrierâs sole purpose was to reinforce all objects within its range.
This was why, even now, the office building itself had not been destroyed by the shockwaves from Fang Bai and Yang Pengguangâs fight.
"By the way, have some tea."
Lin Haifeng pushed another teacup towards the person beside him.
The person beside him gently took the cup and gulped down the tea unceremoniously.
"Good tea. And good scheming. It seems now that even if we hadnât come, these clowns wouldnât have been able to threaten Commander Linâs safety."
Lin Haifeng glanced at Qin Min, Sequence Number 7, who stood beside him clad in a golden robe, and gently shook his head.
"An extra layer of assurance is always good. Who knows what other plans that old fiend Peng Jun has!"
"But no matter his plans, none can escape your grasp."
Hearing this somewhat fawning remark, Lin Haifeng actually smiled and nodded.
"Within the bounds of the Yanjing Assembly Site, I am omniscient and omnipotent!"
From the very beginning, this was a trap set for the Demon Worship Sect and Peng Jun.
Lin Haifeng had indeed killed Fang Baiâs father, but it wasnât as it seemed; Fang Bai had not turned against the military.
In fact, when Lin Haifeng brought down Fang Baiâs father, Fang Bai himself had contributed significantly!
Using Fang Bai as bait to lure out the big fishâthe Demon Worship Sect, or rather, anyone with designs on the Yanjing Assembly Siteâthis had been planned from the outset.
The Demon Worship Sect, one could say, had simply blundered into the snare.
Watching the battle between Fang Bai and Yang Pengguang ahead grow increasingly intense, Lin Haifeng spoke to Qin Min.
"Help Fang Bai."
Then he hesitated for a moment.
"Try to capture him alive."
"No problem."
Qin Min smiled and nodded. Simultaneously, his aura skyrocketed, and his entire body transformed into a streak of golden light, instantly joining the fray.
