C20 [illusionary Light Backdrop]

At night.

Zhang Ping and Wang Jieming returned to the secret room once again. The two Sky Fox corpses had already been cleaned up.

"Zhang Ping, what exactly is going on? How can there be catabolic beasts in Pearl City? And... are they really catabolic beasts?" Wang Jieming immediately asked.

Zhang Ping nodded, and then told Wang Jieming what he knew. Wang Jieming was stunned when he heard it, and his expression became worse and worse.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, someone has already helped us cover up the two Sky Foxes. The other Sky Foxes won't find us." Zhang Ping saw that Wang Jieming's expression was not right, so he comforted him.

Wang Jieming shook his head and said in a daze, "I suspect that my mother has been eaten by the Sky Foxes."

"Your mother?" Zhang Ping frowned.

Wang Jieming said seriously, "Really, she is very strange. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to react. But when you say it, I can feel it. She is teaching me things that I used to know, and she doesn't cook. She often buys cooked food from the outside... Could it be that those cooked food are actually...?"

"Wait, don't scare yourself. I'll go to your house later to confirm it. Don't think too much now." Zhang Ping quickly said.

Wang Jieming said with a sullen face, "Zhang Ping, what should I do if my mother is really eaten?"

"What else can I do? Of course, I have to avenge your mother and kill that Sky Fox." Zhang Ping said seriously.

He thought of the Sky Fox that ate Su Jingyao. How could he not want to take revenge for that beautiful girl?

Wang Jieming fell silent.

After a moment.

Liu Sishan appeared in front of the two of them, and Wang Jieming was startled again.

"Sisi," Zhang Ping said.

Liu Sishan said calmly, "If you have any questions, ask them now. I have received information that the catabolic beasts outside the city seem to have signs of rioting. The patrol party has been slaughtered by the Sky Fox, and the city defense is no longer in effect. Once the other catabolic beasts invade Pearl City, the consequences will be unimaginable. I'm afraid I won't have time to care about you."

"I know about this. The Sky Fox King has been sleeping. Pearl City was not invaded by other catabolic beasts before because it was in charge of Pearl City. Now that it has restrained its aura, the other catabolic beasts are beginning to stir." Zhang Ping said.

He had heard most of the content of the Sky Fox's meeting through the Wind Speaker, so he naturally knew what was going on.

"That is to say, the catabolic beasts will definitely invade Pearl City in the future." Liu Sishan frowned.

Zhang Ping nodded and said, "Not only that, the prince of the Sky Fox Clan will also take the opportunity to observe the Awakened who is resisting the catabolic beast. He will also focus on cleaning up the Awakened who they think are members of your organization."

"So that's how it is. They want to mess up the order of Pearl City and focus on the experts who are attacking." Liu Sishan instantly saw through his intentions.

This was indeed a good idea.

Because ordinary people were unable to resist the attacks of the catabolic beast, the Awakened would definitely make a move.

Pearl City had a population of a million. It was impossible for the Sky Fox to investigate the strength of all the Awakened. After all, some Awakened would intentionally hide their strength, and some Awakened would not even be registered in the archives.

It was impossible for the current information in Pearl City to understand everything in Pearl City.

Zhang Ping looked at Liu Sishan and asked, "Sisi, does your organization have a way to stop this plan?"

"The other party is using a scheme, but this is even better. As long as the other party doesn't move, we can do a lot of things." Liu Sishan said.

Then she did not wait for Zhang Ping to ask, and said, "Alright, you guys go back first. I will report this matter to the organization. We will talk about the specific situation later. There shouldn't be too many catabolic beasts invading Pearl City in the short term, so Pearl City is still safe."

After saying that, Zhang Ping and Wang Jieming were bounced back to the Iron Soul.

"Zhang Ping, can I sleep here tonight?"

Wang Jieming looked at the night sky outside the window and asked weakly.

He didn't want to go home.

After all, he didn't know what he would face when he went home.

"Alright."

Zhang Ping understood that feeling very well. After all, he had been checked by Moon Prince before.

To be honest, although the Sky Fox was strange and terrifying, it was still a catabolic beast. What was truly terrifying was the human skin on their foreheads.

The bloodstained human skin was both infuriating and terrifying.

Under Zhang Ping's arrangement, Wang Jieming slept in the guest room next to Zhang Ping.

After Zhang Ping left.

After Wang Jieming closed the door, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He had known Zhang Ping for a while and knew that Zhang Ping was not the type of person who would jump around.

The problem was that everything that Wang Jieming had experienced so far was the words of Zhang Ping and Liu Sishan.

He did not see the exact appearance of the Sky Fox, and even if Liu Sishan killed the two Sky Foxes, it would only look like the appearance of an ordinary person in his eyes.

Then was it possible that the two of them were actually assassins, and Zhang Ping's words were just to fool him?

There was a possibility.

In the past, there was an illusion-type Awakened that confused a woman, causing her to spend the first half of her life in illusion. After that, the Awakened died unexpectedly, and the woman was able to break free from the illusion and see the truth.

There was an organization behind Zhang Ping.

This organization was very strong, especially that Sisi, whose strength was completely enough to kill him in an instant.

Wang Jieming silently concluded that at least these two pieces of information were real. As for the other information, he would first believe it, but before he had absolute proof, he would not easily make a judgment.

Before he went to bed, he thought of his mother. The strange feeling made him feel pain in his heart.

He wished that this was just a scam.

…

On the other side, Liu Sishan also told Situ Shibai the report that Zhang Ping had provided.

In the Cleaning Team meeting room, Jin Bo, Chen Ming, and the others were still there.

Situ Shibai smiled and said, “The Sky Fox is preparing to make Pearl City a mess. What do you think?”

"Hmph, those bastards just want to kill all the humans with potential. In my opinion, we can take this opportunity to attack. We can kill as many Sky Foxes as we can." Jin Bo sneered.

Chen Ming frowned and said, “This is not appropriate. Although my ability is being interfered with, I have a feeling that if we go too far this time, a lot of people will die.”

His ability was to predict the future.

With this ability, he became the Think Tank of the Cleaning Team and was considered the second in command.

However, because the Moon King’s rank was too high, it had already affected him greatly. Thus, the future he saw was mostly fake. However, he was an advanced Awakened after all, and his intuition was enhanced by his ability to predict the future. Thus, his accuracy was extremely high.

“Chen Ming, do you know something?” Jin Bo looked at Chen Ming suspiciously.

He knew very well that even if Chen Ming joined the Cleaning Team, he still had a bad habit, which was to be too independent. Most of the time, Chen Ming already knew the key information, but he would not say it out loud. He would only say it at the critical moment.

“It won’t work if I say it.” Chen Ming said with a smile.

Jin Bo said unhappily, “It’s the same thing again.”

“Some things may be bad for the present, but they are important for the future. My intuition tells me that the Cleaning Team shouldn’t act recklessly for now.” Chen Ming said as he looked at Jin Bo.

Situ Shibai smiled and said, “But we can’t let those foxes get away with it. Since their king has already fallen asleep, then we’ll let the barrier team use the Illusionary Light Backdrop to divide Pearl City into eight regions. Don’t they want to observe? Then let them have a taste of what it feels like to see everything fake.”

“Judy is helping Sisi,” Chen Ming said.

Situ Shibai nodded. "I will inform Sisi that Judy is temporarily unable to support her. However, when the Illusionary Light Backdrop is activated, she won't need to hide anymore."

“Understood.” Chen Ming nodded.

Illusionary Light Backdrop was a combination skill that was activated by the three members of the barrier team, Judy, Chen Luowei, and Xu Jie.

Judy's ability was 'Black Screen', and her advanced ability was the black tunnel and the black secret room. The secret room that Liu Sishan and Zhang Ping had met several times was provided by her. At the same time, she was responsible for covering up Liu Sishan's movements.

Chen Luowei's ability was to change the colors of light and shadow. She could change the colors of light and shadow. Humans could see things only because of the reflection of light, and she would usually attack at the same time as Judy. Other than protecting the base of the Cleaning Team, she would occasionally provide Liu Sishan with the ability to become invisible.

The last one, Xu Jie, had the ability to recharge the sun and the ability to share energy with others. She was Judy and Chen Luowei's portable charger. The two of them could use their abilities for a long period of time because of Xu Jie's energy. Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to hold on at all.

Once the Illusionary Light Backdrop was activated, the three of them would not be able to rest at all. At most, they could only last for a week.

After that, they would have to close the Illusionary Light Backdrop to rest.

Otherwise, they would be in danger of dying.

...

Late at night.

Most of the people in Pearl City were still asleep. Starting from the center of Pearl City, an invisible black curtain slowly descended. In the blink of an eye, the entire Pearl City was divided into eight regions. Then, the black curtain showed various images, and the black curtain was quickly filled with images.

The shape of the black curtain gradually changed, and the images also changed.

The entire Pearl City started to change.

...

The next day.

Pearl City operated as usual. No one realized that the Pearl City had already changed.

Even the Sky Fox in the City Lord's Mansion did not realize the problem.

Moon One, Moon Two, and Moon Three walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

They were responsible for providing food for the other Sky Foxes in the City Lord's Mansion, so they had to come out every day to choose their prey.

It was not difficult to do so. It was just that there was a human Awakened lurking in the dark, so it became dangerous. However, they were sent out because they were powerful and far stronger than the other Sky Foxes.

It could be said that their strength was only second to Moon Prince's.

"Yue One, do you feel that something is wrong?" Yue San suddenly asked as he walked on the street.

Yue One looked around and shook his head, "No, what did you find?"

"No, I just have a strange feeling," Yue San replied.

Yue Two laughed, "You are just being paranoid."

At this moment, Jin Bo and the other fighters stood by the side of the street and watched the three Sky Foxes walk past.

Although in their eyes, the three Sky Foxes looked like humans, they knew that they were Sky Foxes.

"Follow them."

After Jin Bo said this to his teammates, he followed behind the Sky Foxes. However, the Sky Foxes in front of them were completely unaware.

In the scene that the Sky Foxes saw, the pedestrians around them were all very normal, and there was no one behind them.

In fact, the Illusionary Light Backdrop had already surrounded the three Sky Foxes.

Everything they saw was an illusion.
