The reason he was here was simple: he simply couldn't sleep.
When he first transmigrated, he even died suddenly while conducting experiments; at that time, he was still a mortal.
But as he got to know those characters, he gradually became more and more outrageous.
Even without using the console, his physical abilities are far superior to those of an average person, and calling him "Little Superman" would be no problem at all.
Sleep is no longer a necessity for him.
So he came over to see what Yelan was busy with.
Who would have thought that all they saw was the other person cricketing.
OK OK.
Looks like we need to do something else before we set off.
He thought about it carefully.
Ye Lan's profession is barely related to that of an investigator, so...
So it's reasonable to play around with childbirth, right?
He even had his leather jacket ready.
On the other side, Ye Lan squinted her eyes, preparing to close the net.
It was a smuggling ring whose business even included human trafficking.
They had been keeping an eye on the other side for a long time, but in order to protect the hostages and avoid any disclosure, they had delayed until now.
Those scumbags' good days are over.
Seeing that the appointed time had arrived, Ye Lan raised her hand and then lowered it.
The surrounding team members immediately rushed forward.
Every inch of the enemy's stronghold has been thoroughly investigated.
Such operations, which do not involve supernatural powers, are a piece of cake for these battle-hardened combatants.
However, they still acted strictly according to the plan.
Ye Lan took a step forward, and as a die rose into the air, her figure disappeared.
huh~
The blue lines appeared abruptly, initially just floating randomly, and no one paid any attention.
But by the time someone realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Ye Lan appeared, reaching out to grab the falling dice.
Then the threads came together, capturing all the suspects along the way.
Ye Lan waved her hand: "The interrogation can wait. Let's save the victims first."
Even if the plan has been done as well as possible, we still have to be wary of those scoundrels who might resort to desperate measures.
Therefore, it is essential to rescue the victims first.
If the other side puts up a stubborn resistance, then they will have no worries about the future.
Ye Lan thought to herself, and relying on her own abilities, she ventured into the depths alone.
To outsiders, she may seem cold and aloof.
But deep down she still cares about the people of Liyue.
She penetrated deeper and deeper, and with such ability, she became the sharpest knife, piercing the enemy's heart.
She didn't hold back.
Killing all these scum might result in some innocent people being killed, but killing every other one will definitely leave some behind.
However, upon arriving at the core area, the most heavily guarded place in the plan, there was not a single person in sight.
Ye Lan felt a sense of unease.
I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before.
She reached out the thread to observe, but found nothing.
Something is wrong.
Ye Lan paused for a moment, but then she felt anxious thinking about the victims still imprisoned inside.
Do we have to wait for the rest of the team to go in together?
That would naturally be the safest option.
But during the time they've wasted, many people have already suffered harm, and if this continues...
Just as Ye Lan was still struggling with her decision, the gate to the core area opened.
What came into view were rows of steel cages and a figure wearing a black hood, who was feeding a child in one of the cages with a cup in his hand.
Ye Lan gritted her teeth.
Her intuition told her that there was nothing good in that cup.
Upon seeing her, the man in black robes smiled; his voice was extremely unpleasant and androgynous.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ye Lan sneered and mentally constructed a character model of the other party.
Arrogant and overconfident.
Many criminals are like this; unless they are facing certain death, they all think they are very powerful.
Ye Lan looked at the other party and slowly said, "Surrender. If you turn yourself in, you can be treated leniently."
The man in black robes laughed, and it became even more unpleasant.
"You really don't understand the situation. You want me to surrender?"
As he spoke, the man in black robes flicked his finger, and a glowing image appeared.
The teammates in the video collapsed to the ground, their fate unknown.
Ye Lan's eyes widened.
what! ?
Why is this happening?
This gang actually possesses such abilities?
Was there a problem with the intelligence?
The man in black robes observed her expression and calmly said, "Now, Miss Yelan, tell me, should I surrender?"
Did we fail because of this?
Ye Lan took a deep breath and forced herself to think calmly.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, she specifically brought more than twice the fighting strength of this gang.
Did she end up causing others to fall into the same trap as her?
But it doesn’t make sense.
After the incident involving the Fatui, Liyue has become extremely strict in vetting outsiders, making it impossible for the previous situation to recur.
Chapter 438: Strong Flavor, No Need for Extra Salt
"Miss Yelan, are you still hesitating? I don't care, but your teammates might not."
The man in the black robe said with a smile.
Ye Lan closed her eyes, and after weighing the pros and cons, she opened them again, her eyes filled with determination.
"what do you want."
She cannot leave now, otherwise Liyue's power in the shadows will be greatly weakened.
Their relationship with the Seven Stars is like that of leaves and roots.
The roots are buried deep underground, unable to see the light, yet they can transport nutrients to the leaves. The leaves bask in the sunlight, but they also bear the responsibility of resisting torrential rain and providing assistance to the roots.
The two are inseparable and complement each other.
If this operation results in all of those members being handed over to the enemy, then it will truly be the end.
The man in black seemed even happier to see her expression.
“Very good. It seems Miss Yelan is a smart person. I like talking to smart people the most. Now put this on and come with me.”
As he spoke, the man in the black robe took out a pair of handcuffs and a blindfold from his pocket, along with a small black ball with holes.
Ye Lan nodded.
She had no choice but to comply with the other party's demands as much as possible.
But that doesn't mean she'll just give up.
Where the other person couldn't see, Ye Lan's fingers twitched slightly.
A very thin thread floated out.
This was the emergency rescue method she and Ningguang had agreed upon.
I let it go last time, but Ningguang, you absolutely have to be reliable this time.
This concerns the lives of hundreds of people!
After she had done all that, she put those things on under the other person's gaze.
Once he was sure the other person couldn't see him, the man in the black robe took off his hood.
It was Xu Guang.
It could only be Xu Guang.
In fact, Ye Lan and his department's intelligence was not wrong at all. If it weren't for him, this gang would be wiped out by now.
Although it's pretty much the same now, he's basically cleaned up all those scumbags.
However, seeing Ye Lan's appearance, Xu Guang still smiled from the bottom of his heart.
I feel like I'm going to have some fun today.
Some of the victims trapped here had witnessed Xu Guang protecting Liyue Harbor, so they are now extremely puzzled.
Xu Guang simply put his hand to his lips as a gesture to be quiet.
Then he took Ye Lan and left.
As for the members of those squads, he wasn't so heartless as to slaughter innocent people for his own enjoyment.
This is the bottom line.
So they just put them to sleep.
To prevent any accidents, he even gave everyone a temporary buff, which would end when Ningguang took over.
With that in mind, Xu Guang felt relieved and led Ye Lan to the small room.
That was a small room that absolutely no one could find.
It was filled with all sorts of props.
Its purpose, of course, is for... hehehe.
……
"What's that guy up to now?"
Ningguang stared at the silk thread on the table and remained silent for a moment.
When she first saw this thing, she panicked for a moment, but soon, a message appeared under the thread.
"She's doing well with me now, so don't worry."
The note says Xu Guangliu.
In that case, even a fool could guess what Ye Lan had gone through.
