Chapter 1832: Chapter 440: Unfilial Child! (Part 3)
Lu Nanzhi glanced at the bullet marks, calming her emotions, and tried to make her voice sound calm.
"Have you seen the post about the deep water area?"
Chen San’s voice was very steady.
"..."
Lu Nanzhi remained silent.
Chen San asked in confusion, "What’s going on, did Deep Sea make a mistake?"
This was what Lu Nanzhi feared the most.
Such a question coming from someone like Chen San.
What would ordinary people think?
She didn’t answer. Just as she was about to hang up, a strange voice took over the call.
"Mrs. Lu, do you like the gift I sent?"
"This is Deep Sea."
The voice on the other end of the phone spoke politely and courteously: "I must admit, you have covered up the secret of the Red Gate very well, but unfortunately... you are Lu Cheng’s daughter. Such things are too easy to guess, and there’s no need for evidence, only suspicion is enough to take action. If there is a next time, you should give the Red Gate to someone else, or simply abandon it, which would be better for you."
Lu Nanzhi’s eyes widened.
She looked outside her office at a slowly moving surveillance camera that was eventually aimed at her, as if confronting her directly, filling her heart with intense unease.
A second muffled sound of "bang" was heard.
A drone soaring in the sky suddenly lost control, rushing straight towards the Huazhi Building, crashing into the glass behind Lu Nanzhi, exploding into a ball of light and fire.
Deep Sea.
All of this was orchestrated by Deep Sea...
What she faced was murderous intent from Deep Sea. All Five Continents were under Deep Sea’s spiritual link, and after the eleventh upgrade, did Deep Sea need anyone else’s help to kill an ordinary Transcendent within the Five Continents?
"Beep... beep... beep..."
The Huazhi elevator was running rapidly; without an access card, the elevator that couldn’t reach the top floor now stopped securely at the top, and an intelligent robot responsible for delivering goods extended its arms, heading towards Lu Nanzhi.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion of light and fire erupted in the office, Lu Nanzhi barely had time to raise her arm. As the explosion approached, she caught a glimpse of a pitch-black figure, like a crow, instantly appearing before her.
Rumble——
Flames burst forth.
The young crew-cut man standing in front of Lu Nanzhi was like a solid wall, blocking all searing heat with brute force.
Song Ci frowned as he waved his arm, driving away the fragile flames, and the smoke alarm was triggered, spraying a large amount of mist. Song Ci took off his suit jacket and draped it over Lu Nanzhi, who wore only a thin shirt.
The lady came back to her senses, noticing that Song Ci had also brought with him the silhouette of someone unconscious clad in a duckbill cap.
"This is the assassin who just fired, we haven’t had time to interrogate him, but judging by the tattoo, he should be from Yinghai District."
Song Ci calmly said, "I heard Yinghai District has long been entrenched at Huazhi. It’s all my fault, I should have dealt with them harshly last time, this situation wouldn’t have happened again."
"Ying Ji..."
Lu Nanzhi adjusted her suit, finally regaining her composure, and said softly, "You’ve always been here?"
"Of course."
Song Ci smiled: "It’s not just me, Xiao Lu is also here, she’s taking care of some mishaps outside the group. But speaking of explosions of this magnitude... even without me, you shouldn’t have been hurt, right?"
Because of Deep Sea’s wanted notice, Lu Nanzhi was rarely distracted.
Over the years, she had not encountered such a "assassination" type of low-level attack in a long time, to the point she almost forgot that all the accessories she wore were Defense Sealing Items of A-grade.
An explosion of this magnitude couldn’t truly harm her.
"About that wanted notice..."
Lu Nanzhi’s voice trembled.
But Song Ci simply raised his eyebrows with a smile: "What wanted notice, it’s complete nonsense, have you forgotten Deep Sea recently issued a wanted notice for Gu Shen?"
His own kin had been wanted, and Song Ci was like a volcano ready to erupt with nowhere to vent.
If Lu Nanjin hadn’t urgently restrained him.
With his temperament, he probably would have already rushed to Chanyi City demanding an explanation.
The last meeting with Tomb Ghost, Lu Nanjin sensed something amiss... This uneasiness was directed towards "Deep Sea". Although she hadn’t joined the Ancient Literature Society, living in Lion Alley with Lu Cheng, she had already roughly guessed her father’s undertakings, and the legacy her sister inherited.
If one day, Deep Sea and her sister stood on opposing sides.
Then she would undoubtedly trust her sister.
Perceiving something strange, Nan Jin retained Crow, insisting he must stay by her sister’s side during this period.
"Damn Deep Sea, I’ve disliked him for a long time, I’ve been trying to find out where his mainframe is these past few days. Once I find it, I’ll go up and take a couple of heavy swings!"
Song Ci cursed, growing more infuriated as he thought, then kicked the assassin beside him twice, each kick causing the latter to cough up a large mouthful of blood, left with only out breaths, no in breaths.
Lu Nanzhi always disapproved of Song Ci’s foul language and swearing.
But hearing these words at this moment, she suddenly felt at ease, her expression relaxed.
So...
Deep Sea’s wanted notice doesn’t seem so terrifying after all.
Just then, the elevator opened again, and the one entering was Lu Nanjin, clad in a trench coat.
Lu Nanzhi quickly asked, "What’s the situation outside the group?"
"Everything is peaceful."
Nan Jin spoke calmly, "Everyone is working as usual."
"...Working?"
Lu Nanzhi was once again taken aback.
"Rather than betrayal of humanity, people would rather believe there was a technical glitch with Deep Sea."
Lu Nanjin said lightly, "I guess your biggest worry is the identity of the ’Ancient Literature Society’ member... even if exposed, it is what it is."
It is what it is.
These four words summarized the entire event, according to Lu Nanjin.
Very absurd, very comical, and very real.
...
...
Gu Castle Fortress.
Lin Lin stood on the giant wall, commanding the operation of various units, coordinating the sentries inside the fortress with the Gu Family Fleet...
With the release of Deep Sea’s wanted notice, before every Transcendent appeared content pertaining to the wanted status of their major general.
The entire fortress plunged into silence in an instant.
Lin Lin also saw the wanted notice concerning him.
After a moment of silence.
A gloomy roar exploded above the fortress.
"What are you all standing around for?"
Zou Hai kicked a young recruit square in the buttocks, sending them sprawling three meters away, landing heavily in a snowy pit.
"Get to work!"
With Vice Officer Zou’s angry shout, the Gu Castle Fortress resumed its operational state.
The kicked recruit stood up, full of grievances, muttering fiercely under his breath, "To hell with you, Deep Sea, making me lose focus and getting me kicked by the Vice Officer, embarrassing me to death!"
Gu Castle Fortress had resumed its link with Deep Sea.
This scene naturally fell under Deep Sea’s observation.
At this moment, hovering above the giant wall, the situation on the main vessel was quite awkward.
Turing finished his second can of bubble drink and belched satisfyingly.
He didn’t need to look to know what was happening outside.
Outside referred not just to Gu Castle Fortress.
"Unfilial son!"
Turing insulted with a broad smile, knocking on the desk with one hand while looking up at the dark shadow on the main screen, mocking, "So... this is the method you prepared after your eleventh upgrade?"
"About the wanted notice for the Ancient Literature Society... do you think it’s still thirty years ago, pulling such a stunt, are you trying to scare people to death or make them die laughing?"
