Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 49 Entering the Ark



When Li Yelai was sent back to his family's apartment by Cheese, it was already dark.

As soon as he got out of the car, Li Yelai opened the trunk. He took out his long-awaited anti-psionic helmet.

This special equipment comes from Border City No. 1.

Because, official psychics need to be sent to participate in the transportation mission.

Therefore, the transportation fee alone costs ten merit points.

The Anti-Psychic Helmet looks more like a finely crafted multifunctional tactical helmet.

Li Yelai just picked up the helmet and felt that the psychic barrier on his body was dissipated and the psychic energy was suppressed.

If you turn on Facebook at this time, the amount of spiritual energy consumed will probably be even greater.

"Is this the effect of anti-psychic energy?" Li Yelai was a little surprised, but more expectant.

"Well, although they are very rare, psykers with anti-psionic effects are occasionally born among humans. Because of their own anti-psionic effects, their own psionic powers cannot be used normally, but it is enough to All kinds of psykers have headaches. They are called anti-psychics." Cheese explained: "By studying them, Jucheng developed this kind of equipment with anti-psionic effects in order to strengthen their own. For defense, we will also choose to carry this kind of equipment.”

"If you wear this anti-psionic helmet, my suggestion and hypnotic effects will be greatly reduced. They will even be ignored. The power of the psychic attacks used against you will also be weakened." Cheese explained: " Likewise, your own psychic energy will be suppressed, and the psychic barrier will be weakened, and the cost of using your abilities will increase dramatically."

Li Yelai nodded, then took the elevator with his helmet and cheese.

Cheese watched Li Yelai press the floor button and couldn't help but said, "Speaking of which, you are bringing a girl home at night."

Li Yelai nodded.

Cheese started pointing and asked, "Say, am I the first girl to come to your house?"

"Uh, no. When I moved, Doll came to help. She should be considered the first guest. You were preparing for a breakthrough at the time, so I didn't disturb you." Li Yelai responded honestly.

"Tsk!" Cheese raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Should I complain at this time, 'I was obviously the one who came first!'"

Li Yelai was somewhat immune to Cheese's flirtatious remarks.

Ignoring Cheese's flirtatious words, he brought Cheese to the door of his house and asked her to wait at the door.

"I hope your sister won't be afraid of me after putting on the helmet." Cheese said softly.

Li Yelai nodded slightly and entered the door.

He found Li Yunyan who was still painting and handed the helmet to her.

Li Yunyan, who was trapped in the trap, quickly reacted and took the helmet.

When Li Yunyan put on the anti-psionic helmet, he felt that the depression around him was much lessened.

There are some surprises and expectations.

"How do you feel?" Li Yelai asked.

"I feel a lot better. I want to go out and have a look." Li Yunyan looked around, with excitement in his voice.

She had been waiting for so long that she could finally stop being afraid of others.

She wanted to leave the room, leave this nightmare world, and return to the normal world.

"Don't worry, let me introduce you to my senior first." Li Yelai stopped Li Yunyan and slowly opened the door, revealing the cheese hidden outside the door.

From Li Yunyan's perspective, she saw a tranquil-looking girl with short hair.

The already delicate face became even more charming under the outline of those peach blossom eyes.

Cheese was a little nervous. She wanted to say something sexy like 'sister-in-law', but she was too nervous and didn't say anything. He just looked at Li Yunyan with a smile.

Lest I trigger that curse.

Li Yunyan, on the other hand, looked at the cheese in silence for several seconds before speaking in surprise.

"She is your beautiful senior? She is actually a big-breasted girl! Good, good! I want to see the Shura field! I want to see the river of blood!"

She babbled nonsense, pleasantly surprised that she was finally free from that terrible curse.

This made both Li Yelai and Chezi happy. However, just when Cheche wanted to take a step closer and catch up with Li Yunyan's nonsense.

Li Yunyan's body suddenly stiffened. In her eyes, the originally beautiful short-haired girl had countless tentacles and limbs spreading out from her body the moment she made a move, and her originally delicate face also changed in an instant. Ferocious and cold.

This made Li Yunyan's face freeze with joy, and his face turned pale instantly. Breaking into a cold sweat.

Cheese keenly noticed Li Yunyan's abnormality, immediately retracted his stepped foot, and quickly retreated out of Li Yunyan's sight.

Li Yelai also immediately stood in front of Li Yunyan, blocking her view for fear of being frightened by other creatures outside the door.

Li Yelai took Li Yunyan, who was stiff, back to her bedroom.

After a long time, Li Yunyan said quietly: "How could this happen? I have obviously seen her! I have already seen her."

Her words were full of despair and helplessness.

She clearly saw hope, but the hope turned into a thick wall of despair in the next second, crushing all her luck.

Li Yelai was also disappointed, but he still cheered up and said: "At least, at the beginning, you can see her. We can slowly find the pattern, don't be afraid."

"Okay" Li Yunyan shook his head: "Senior, please come in and sit down."

After repeated experiments with Li Yunyan and Cheese, the three finally came to a conclusion.

The anti-psychic helmet does have an effect, but not much.

The helmet can indeed help the creatures in Li Yunyan's field of vision to escape some of the effects of the curse. At least for a short period of time.

But once the opponent moves or makes a large movement, the curse will appear again. The curse will not be blocked again until the other party stops taking any action.

At the same time, the helmet cannot block the sounds affected by the curse. In Li Yunyan's ears, the sounds made by the cheese are indescribable weird babbles.

This conclusion made all three of them a little silent and disappointed.

But it's not without good news. At least, it allows Li Yunyan to see someone else besides Li Yelai.

"The effect of your sister's curse is very strong. The anti-psionic helmet alone can only go so far. Other anti-psionic equipment may be needed in the future." Cheese told Li Yelai in a low voice.

"But other anti-psionic equipment has a great risk of distortion." Li Yelai sighed.

"Perhaps you can wait until your sister becomes a psyker and awakens several times before you can try to use it." Cheese comforted: "Don't worry, at least she can see me temporarily, right? Although she can't move, at least it's good news "

Li Yelai nodded: "Then this helmet must be kept."

"Let's continue the trial first. The captain has applied for a three-month trial period." Cheese reminded: "We will see the situation after three months. The most important thing for you now is to prepare the potion."

Although it's a pity, it can only be like this.

Then, Cheese thought of a way. She sat at the restaurant table, and Li Yunyan sat opposite, and the two communicated through the communicator. Li Yunyan looked up at Cheese from time to time. At that time, Cheese remained motionless, letting Li Yunyan look at him. When Li Yunyan lowered his head to type, he made another move.

Although it was weird, it still allowed Li Yunyan to contact others.

It's just that Li Yelai didn't know what the two talked about, and the atmosphere became much better.

There was also a smile on Li Yunyan's pale face.

Cheese, on the other hand, commented with some weirdness on his face: "We have met our opponent!"

Li Yelai saw that neither of them wanted to talk, so he didn't ask any further questions.

After the two chatted, they sent the cheese to the car.

"Thank you very much for chatting with my sister for so long." Li Yelai said seriously. He always felt that he was accepting the kindness of others, but he also seemed to have nothing to repay. Feeling guilty.

"No need to thank you, just play with the wooden figures. It's just that my uncle wants to invite you to his house for dinner. To give you face?" Cheese asked after hesitation.

"Your uncle?" Li Yelai thought of the middle-aged man he saw at the Wang family's banquet when he was taking on a private job: "Why do you suddenly want to invite him to dinner?"

"His daughter, my cousin, was also a member of the first team." Cheese said quietly, "So, he is very friendly to his colleagues in the first team."

Cheese’s cousin? Was he a teammate on the first team? used to be?

Thinking of what happened to the first team, Li Yelai's face moved slightly.

Doesn’t that mean that Cheese’s cousin has been sacrificed?

Then he nodded: "Okay, but it won't be until the 15th, and I have other tasks."

"Okay, bye." After seeing Li Yelai's agreement, Cheese didn't ask what the mission was. A slight smile appeared on his face and he drove away.

The next day, Li Yelai received the reward for yesterday's action.

The West City Branch sent 50,000 giant city coins and 40 merit points.

This is because the Xicheng branch is being polite.

In yesterday's operation, the Xicheng branch actually contributed the most, and Li Yelai only killed more than 20 people and knocked out four psychics. Others were solved by people from the Xicheng branch.

This brought Li Yelai's merit points to one hundred and sixty-five.

This is not a small amount, but it is still far short of the 300 points of the Three Enlightenment Vientiane Potion.

No wonder, the handlers have to spend a year or two saving up, the cost of this magic potion is high. In less than a year, I really can't save enough 300 points.

However, this also allows the handler to calm down and break through slowly to avoid the risk of distortion.

Later, Li Yelai spoke to the owner of the antique shop.

After yesterday's incident, the owner of the antique shop became more or less aware of Li Yelai's identity.

Perhaps considering Li Yelai's official status, the boss was very excited and shouted that he would not worry about scavengers coming to make trouble in the future.

That's right, the employee is an official, so as long as he doesn't break the law. Then you don't have to worry about other things.

Moreover, although those people who were rescued from the Red Guard Chamber of Commerce yesterday signed confidentiality agreements, they also knew Li Yelai's identity. This allowed the antique shop to receive a lot of favors and opened up many more channels.

He also signaled Li Ye to come to work when he had time. It would be okay if he didn't come if he didn't have time. Anyway, the salary will be paid.

This is good news.

In the following time, a team of members also recovered from their injuries and began to actively participate in the mission.

Among them, Bai Yang came to see Li Yelai once and successfully reattached his arm.

Now, it is time to leave the giant city and return to the mission that never ends. I came here specifically to say hello to Li Yelai.

In response, Li Yelai wished him a successful start.

Bai Yang waved his hand: "Hurry up and become stronger, we need you as a teammate."

"You need me to lure the monsters, right?" Li Yelai complained and sent him away from the giant city.

Later, Li Yelai discovered that there were many new people in the branch.

As a result, Li Yelai met new faces several times, and the newcomers called him senior, which was quite strange.

As the days passed, until Yin Huo appeared again, Li Yelai knew that his "hidden stake" operation was about to begin.

On October 15th, Li Yelai was taken to the headquarters by Yin Huo.

The processing department headquarters is located in Shangcheng District, which is the core area of ​​the entire Border City No. 3.

There are many tall buildings and colorful lights.

Expensive cars can be seen everywhere on the road, and the people walking on the roadside are white-collar workers in suits and ties.

Unlike the various branches hidden underground, the headquarters is a conspicuous building.

It's so conspicuous that it's right next to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is the administrative center of the entire border city, and the headquarters is right next to the City Lord's Mansion. Or, in other words, is the City Lord's Mansion close to the headquarters?

Li Yelai looked at the building in front of him, looking a little stunned: "Isn't it too obvious?"

"It's okay, obviously I don't want anyone to come and cause trouble." Yinhuo smiled and said, "This is just for showing off to some guys!"

Later, Li Yelai and Yin Huo walked to the headquarters. After showing his ID under the watchful eyes of several psychics, he was allowed to enter the headquarters.

Someone immediately stepped forward to lead the way, leading the two of them forward and into the elevator to the lower level.

After passing through layers of security measures, we arrived at a room deep underground.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Yelai saw a huge cultivation cabin.

Through the transparent glass, you can see the figure fixed by several chains in the cultivation cabin.

It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, naked, with chains piercing his body, locking up all his resistance.

At the same time, the pitch-black spikes connected to tiny silk threads all pierced into the man's brain, making his eyes dull.

Many people were watching this scene from outside the observation cabin.

"This is..." Li Yelai looked at this scene in surprise.

"He is one of the participants in the Fantasy Band incident." Yinhuo sneered.

"Then you are too gentle!" Li Yelai's face turned cold: "Can't we cut off his limbs? Cutting him in half will do!"

No handler would have any sympathy for the participants in the Fantasy Band incident. How many people have they killed?

No matter what means you use to deal with them!

"After being noticed by Ark, we alerted the snake." Yin Huo responded: "So, after we captured him, we directly controlled his brain. In this way, we can safely send you into Ark through him."

"What should I do? Is there anything I should pay attention to?" Li Yelai asked.

"I told you on the way, after you change your clothes and enter the Ark, you will be the spokesperson of 'Golden Armor', 'Copper Face'! Don't pay too much attention to the rest. According to the intelligence, they don't know much about Copper Face either. Play well. Just your own." Yinhuo responded: "Now, put on your clothes and your copper mask, and prepare to enter the ark."

Soon, Li Yelai put on the official suit and a brass mask.

At the same time, I got a solid ticket in my hand.

There was also a psyker with the gibbering path who came forward and whispered: ‘Calm down’

Li Yelai's nervousness immediately dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Yin Huo nodded slightly to someone outside the observation window.

The man nodded and flicked his fingers.

In the breeding cabin, several spikes on the middle-aged man's head trembled slightly.

The middle-aged man's body also started to move, and he stretched out his left hand to touch the ticket in Li Yelai's hand.

Li Yelai felt his eyes light up, and at the same time a feeling of weightlessness swept over him.

After a few seconds, the light in front of him dissipated and his legs landed on the ground again.

Li Yelai had already arrived in a new environment.

Arrived. Inside the Ark!

In the bright hall, there are gorgeous tables and chairs, with blurry figures sitting on them.

They are the Chosen People of the Ark, and the culprits who killed so many colleagues are hiding among them.

Li Yelai suppressed the tension and malice that surged in his heart again, and whispered in his heart: "Beast, I'm here!"

And in the room deep in the Ark, there is a certain great being.

At this moment, he felt vaguely uneasy.
