Infinity Throne

Molly once introduced that Dr. Liu Nianan had profound knowledge in the field of virology many years ago.

Molly even said, half jokingly and half seriously, that if the virus in Liu Nianan's laboratory leaked out, it might trigger a biochemical crisis that would affect the world.

Liu Nian'an smiled mysteriously and did not continue the discussion on this overly professional topic.

Ten minutes later, everyone packed up their equipment and set off again.

Yi Lin also took the initiative to help Dr. Feng Manqing carry the heavy incubator equipment.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the front of the team.

Looking closer, Wang Bing and Ju Xiuyuan were arguing.

When Yi Lin approached, Ju Xiuyuan pointed at Wang Bing with red eyes and angry eyes: "No! I don't agree! You are only responsible for protecting the investigation team and have no right to make decisions on the investigation team's actions!"

Wang Bing carried a gun and said coldly: "The situation is urgent. We must leave the no-man's land as soon as possible!"

"But we only observed one location! The data collected was far from enough!"

"Dr. Ju, this is an emergency! I must be responsible for your safety!" Wang Bing said in a stubborn tone and refused to give in.

"But we must be responsible for the future of mankind!" Ju Xiuyuan roared.

When Wang Bing heard this, his expression changed slightly.

For a while, the two fell into a stalemate.

No one can convince anyone.

Yi Lin pulled Mo Li to her side and asked about the whole dispute between Wang Bing and Ju Xiuyuan.

"I see."

Yi Lin also understood the reason for the dispute between the two parties at this moment.

Wang Bing believed that enemies of unknown origin appeared in this uninhabited land investigation operation. In order to ensure the safety of the investigation team, he decided to terminate the investigation and asked to return to the original route.

Because Wang Bing concealed some facts, Ju Xiuyuan believed that Wang Bing was making a fuss out of a molehill and insisted on continuing the investigation, refusing to give up midway.

So the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Yi Lin thought for a moment.

Then he whispered a few words in Molly's ear.

After hearing this, Molly glanced at Yi Lin in surprise, but after a few seconds, she walked out.

"Dr. Ju is right." Molly said with a calm expression, "The field team has no right to interfere with the investigation team's actions."

Molly's speech made everyone quiet down instantly.

Wang Bing frowned, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Molly meant by her sudden rebuttal.

But two seconds later, Wang Bing met Yi Lin's eyes and suddenly seemed to understand something, so he remained silent.

Under everyone's attention, Molly continued: "But don't forget, I am the nominal captain of the investigation team, and I have the right to decide the next step of the investigation team."

Ju Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed and he subconsciously said, "Huh, even you..."

Molly smiled slightly and interrupted Ju Xiuyuan's next words: "Professor Ju, please listen to me first."

"I believe that everyone has their own reasons for entering no man's land regardless of the danger."

"So I think whoever makes the decision alone is not going to be able to convince everyone. I think we can make the decision in a more equitable way."

The others were stunned when they heard this.

"It's very simple..." Molly smiled slightly and stretched out two white fingers: "Vote."

After a pause, Molly added: "The seven members of the investigation team voted. Those who agree to continue the investigation please raise your hands. The majority obeys the majority."

Ju Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Okay, let's do it."

Wang Bing nodded expressionlessly as well.

There are seven people in the investigation team.

Including Yi Lin.

Wang Bing felt clear in his heart.

Understood.

This is the method Yi Lin came up with, bypassing the stubborn Ju Xiuyuan and letting the investigation team go home by voting.

As expected, he was worthy of being a member of the special team, and his methods were much gentler than Wang Bing's.

——Society Society.

Since Ju Xiuyuan agreed to vote to decide the investigation team's next move, even if the final voting result was not in line with Ju Xiuyuan's wishes, the stubborn old man probably wouldn't be able to lose his face and go back on his words.

Could this move be the legendary way to defeat someone without fighting?

Wang Bing nodded secretly.

But Wang Bing was a little confused. How should he like Yi Lin in a way that was both subtle and clear?

Waiting online.

--urgent.

…

"I agree to continue the investigation."

Yi Rin smiled and raised her hand.

Ju Xiuyuan, Feng Manqing, Mo Li, Yi Lin.

Four people from the investigation team raised their hands one after another.

Agree to move on and investigate no man's land.

"Why, why?"

Wang Bing didn't believe it.

Ju Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "Don't underestimate our determination to study people. Since we dare to form a survey team to explore no man's land, we have already had a certain awareness."

Wang Bing frowned.

In fact, he was not asking about Ju Xiuyuan.

But Yi Lin.

Ju Xiuyuan had no idea that Yi Lin was the real decision-maker of this team.

Ju Xiuyuan didn't know who the person in their field team really needed to protect.

Even if the rest of the investigation team insists on going their own way, Wang Bing doesn't mind being the villain as long as Miss Molly insists on returning.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Yi Lin and Molly chose to move on.

And it seems that Molly's decision was also inspired by Yi Lin.

Of the three remaining members of the investigation team who did not show their hands to vote, Liu Nianan looked embarrassed, and the other two looked ashamed.

Ju Xiuyuan's eyes quickly scanned the faces of Liu Nianan and the others.

There was no blame or harsh words said.

He just sighed softly: "I hope you are worthy of your knowledge and don't forget the pride you once had."

Liu Nianan and the other three lowered their heads silently.

Ju Xiuyuan carried the heavy equipment and came to Yi Lin.

"Young man, I look at you differently."

Ju Xiuyuan's attitude was completely different from that of not long ago.

Yi Lin knew that this was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

But he couldn't explain it.

He could only accept Ju Xiuyuan's praise helplessly.

The team starts again.

After all, they are not children anymore, and no one takes the dispute just now into their hearts... at least it doesn't seem like it on the surface.

Wang Bing, Ju Xiuyuan, and Mo Li gathered together, looked at the map, and discussed the next observation point.

If the two observation points are too close to each other, the data will not make much sense.

But if he goes too far all of a sudden, Wang Bing will also have concerns.

After all, the physique of this group of scholars is definitely not as good as that of the special service team, and they cannot travel a long distance in one breath.

"This is it!"

Wang Bing pointed to a spot on the map.

Displayed on the map is an icon with the word "文".

represents the school.

The school is about five kilometers away from the city square, neither close nor far. After discussing with several other authoritative experts, Ju Xiuyuan agreed to this route.

"It's time for you to tell me what's going on, right?"

Molly and Yi Lin were walking behind the team. Molly finally found an opportunity and asked quietly.

Yi Lin thought for a while, and after weighing the pros and cons, she still didn't hide it.

"The other party has my kind."

"Same kind?" Molly reacted instantly: "You mean..."

"Someone just used some kind of special ability on me... I sensed it immediately, but I didn't find anyone within the 21-meter range. I initially speculated that there are three possibilities..."

Yi Lin analyzed slowly: "First, after the opponent used his ability, he quickly left my perception range in a very short period of time."

"Second, the range of the opponent's ability is far beyond my perception range..."

"third……"

Before Yi Lin could explain, Molly thought of what Yi Lin said next and blurted out: "He is among us!"

"wrong!"

Yi Lin shook her head.

"Why?" Molly looked slightly startled.

Yi Lin burst into laughter: "Do you think this is a reasoning game? The plot that the murderer is among us?"

"..."

Yi Lin saw that Molly clenched her pink fists and seemed to be going crazy, so she stopped trying to be submissive and explained in a low voice: "For example, in those retro games, the magician needs to consume blue bars to cast magic, right?"

"Uh...then what?"

"Our 'ability' can be understood in this way, and it also requires consuming some kind of 'blue bars.'" Yi Lin tried hard to explain to Molly without violating the taboo: "There are 13 people in this team, and there are so many people on the other side. You didn’t choose, but you chose me to use the ability, why do you think it is?”

Molly is not a fool. After Yi Lin's vague description, Molly roughly understood the situation.

"I understand, the third possibility you want to talk about is... there is a spy among us?"

Yi Lin nodded.

"But I still don't understand, why are you so sure that they can't be your kind?"

Yi Lin smiled slightly: "I'm not 100% sure... Let's talk about the investigation team first. If it were you, after knowing that one plus one equals two, you would still spend a lot of energy to study why one plus one equals two. Two?”

Molly thought carefully for a few seconds, and then said: "Yes, one plus one equals two is just a mathematical answer. In the field of biology, two animals will produce offspring when they reproduce, and it will not equal two... …Others include physics, philosophy, quantum mechanics, theology…”

"Stop! I'm not having an academic discussion with you now!" Yi Lin was confused and quickly stopped the topic: "In short, it's unlikely, so stop thinking about it."

In fact, Yi Lin's meaning is also very simple.

As an apostle, knowing that the "Tower" is a supernatural existence, naturally he will no longer foolishly study the origin of the Tower.

Because that doesn't make sense.

It is better to think of ways to strengthen yourself and survive the next trial.

As for the field team, Yi Lin felt that it was unlikely that they were apostles.

There is a mark on the apostle that cannot be erased and is visible as soon as he takes off his clothes.

As a senior apostle, Zhao Yulong could not place the apostles in the "special group" field team. This was not difficult to surmise.

[Identification Technique] This skill is not very rare, Yi Lin has also heard of it.

[Identification Technique] is an auxiliary skill and does not consume much spiritual energy, but it does consume some energy.

There is also the issue of skill success rate.

It is impossible for all 13 of the opponent's opponents to perform a round of identification. This is unrealistic.

In other words, the other party learned through some means that he and Molly had left the team and had killed four enemies silently, so they attracted the attention of the other party.

The release of single-target skills requires vision. The opponent should have shared the vision with someone in the team through some skill or prop, and used the identification technique on Yilin.

Molly nodded: "I understand. If there is a traitor among us, if we return the same way we came, we will undoubtedly play into the other party's hands. Instead, it will give them time to prepare and ambush... It is better to continue moving forward and dissolve the enemy." Change from passive to active...Huh? I suddenly discovered that you are much smarter than I thought?"

Yi Lin: "..."

"Then your next plan should be to find a way to find the mole, right?"

Yi Linbiao looked at Molly strangely: "Aren't you afraid?"

Molly waved her hands nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? Isn't there still you?"

Yi Lin's expression was slightly startled.

The corner of Molly's mouth curled up: "If I die, I will never let you go! Before I die, I will kick you to death. So when I think of being able to support you, I don't seem to be so afraid. ”

Molly's words seemed very relaxed, but from Yi Lin's perspective, Molly's petite back was trembling slightly, which seemed to betray her true mood.

Yi Lin remained silent, reaching out and gently hugging Molly's shoulders.

Molly didn't refuse, she just raised her head, looked at Yi Lin with a half-smile with her bright eyes, and whispered, "Are you trying to tease me?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing like this." Yi Lin comforted with a smile.

Molly suddenly had the urge to kick this soul to death.

But after such an interruption, Molly found that she felt a lot more at ease.

"By the way, if you find the mole, what will you do?"

"?"

When Yi Lin slowly typed a question mark...

Molly: "?"

"What do you mean how to deal with it?"

"Is that what it means literally? Can't you understand people?" Molly stared.

"What else can we do?" Yi Lin said in a calm and gentle tone: "Kill him."

Molly's pupils narrowed.

"If you don't want to kill it... keep it for the New Year?"

Yi Lin asked back.

…

…

Yi Lin asked again in detail about the situation of everyone in the investigation team.

Excluding Molly and Yi Lin, there are currently five suspected targets of the mole.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Yi Lin also added the five members of the field team to the list of suspects.

After all, even though they are not apostles, the possibility of evil spirits still exists.

As long as we are human, we have weaknesses.

As long as there is a weakness, there is a possibility of being bribed.

This...isn't surprising.

"Do you have a target?" After Mo Li informed Yi Lin of everyone's situation, she couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm... I have some clues. However, in order to prevent your eyes from betraying you, I decided it would be better not to tell you for the time being." Yi Lin chuckled.

"...Stingy." Although Molly knew what Yi Lin said was true, she still felt a little unhappy.

On the flat road, there are rusty cars parked here and there. In the gray fog, the once prosperous city is filled with permeable corruption, without any sign of life.

A completely dead city.

"This is death..."

Yi Lin squinted her eyes and stared at the looming giant tower at the end of the gray fog.

Tower of death.

This is the power of "it".

It is also the great power possessed by the "Knights of the Apocalypse" who were born from the "Tower".

Wang Bing walked in front without saying a word. There was an attack ahead. Wang Bing did not dare to let down his guard at all, and never put down the gun in his hand.

Several other special forces from the field team used professional tactical arrangements to surround the investigation team, marching slowly, somewhat like lurking in the jungle.

Including Ju Xiuyuan, other members of the investigation team did not think too much. After all, their knowledge was limited. They just carried their luggage and rushed to the next observation point, while sorting out the data obtained not long ago in their minds. Is it useful.

Wang Bing actually had no idea. He didn't know whether it was a decision-making mistake for the team to continue to advance deeper into the gray mist.

He... wasn't sure.

The closer the no-man's land is to the direction of the "tower", the thicker the gray fog becomes. If studies hadn't shown that no isolation measures could isolate this layer of gray fog, Wang Bing would have wanted to wrap himself in ten or eight layers of protective clothing. , in order to make yourself feel more secure.

suddenly.

A special soldier walking in front of the team grunted and loaded the bullet with a click.

Almost at the same time, gunfire rang out, bang bang bang——

Wang Bing, who was at the front of the team, suddenly fired several shots into the depths of the gray mist.

The sudden gunfire caused a commotion again, and the rest of the investigation team squatted on the ground almost subconsciously.

As the saying goes, if you stand high, you are more likely to be hit by bullets.

Bang bang bang——

The only sound on the road echoed was the gunshots of Wang Bing.

"Fuck!"

Wang Bing cursed fiercely, looked back at his comrades behind him, and whispered: "Is everything okay?"

Yi Lin frowned, and with a thought in her mind, she released Bai Xiaoyi.

Bai Xiaoyi chuckled and escaped happily into the gray mist.

During the commotion, and because Bai Xiaoyi was a spiritual body and was already looming, no one noticed Yi Lin's move.

"what happened?"

Yi Lin stepped forward and immediately spread her perception after releasing Bai Xiaoyi.

However, Yi Lin did not find any hidden enemies around.

At least not within 21 meters.

When Wang Bing saw Yi Lin and Mo Li approaching, he lowered his voice and said, "There is an enemy attack! The second pillar is injured!"

"Gather in! Everyone gather in formation!"

After Wang Bing used his communicator to give instructions to the others, he squatted down to check Erzhu's injuries.

"Captain, I'm fine."

Erzhu looked like a dark-skinned, honest-looking young man. He grinned and covered his hands with blood flowing between his fingers.

"have a look."

Yi Lin opened the wound on the second pillar and took a look, only to see a sharp knife mark across the palm of his hand. Blood flowed out, but it looked like it was not a fatal wound.

After a simple bandage, Erzhu remained calm and shouldered the gun again.

"Leader, look..."

While the rest of the investigation team were still panicking, Wang Bing calmly took the opportunity to ask Yi Lin about his next move.

Although it was an inquiry, deep down in his heart, Wang Bing still wanted to leave this damn no man's land as soon as possible.

Yi Lin lowered his head and said nothing.

Following the direction where Erzhu was attacked, Yi Lin found a knife from the ground.

He quietly took the knife into his hand with telekinesis, held the handle, and squinted his eyes to observe.

While making small movements, Yi Lin also briefly asked what happened about the accident.

Just now, a knife flew out of the gray mist without warning, catching Erzhu off guard.

Yi Lin: "Flying knife?"

Wang Bing: "Ancient martial arts?"

"Is this the legendary flying knife?"

Molly came over and stretched out her hand curiously——

"Wait, don't move."

Yi Lin inadvertently met Er Zhu's dull eyes.

Because Er Zhu's skin was dark, Yi Lin didn't notice it for a while, but when Er Zhu's lips turned black, he finally noticed something was wrong.

This knife is poisonous!

Extremely poisonous!

"Uh uh uh--"

Almost the second after Yi Lin shouted, Erzhu suddenly twitched violently and fell straight to the ground.

His eyes rolled up, pink foam came out of his mouth, his hands strangled his neck painfully, and a high-pitched wheezing sound came from his throat, as if it was difficult to breathe.

Yi Lin waved his hand, and the poisonous flying knife was directly sent far away by Yi Lin.

Stay away from here.

——Can’t touch.

"That's right! Let Dr. Han come over quickly!"

Yi Lin suddenly remembered that there was an intellectual female doctor named Han Bingbing in the investigation team, who was a doctor in medicine.

"Quick! Dr. Han! Come quickly!"

Han Bingbing was wearing loose clothes that were easy to walk in. She had a mole at the corner of her mouth and exuded the intelligence of a mature woman. But when she came to Erzhu at this moment, her face turned slightly pale, and she was frightened by this series of changes.

When Han Bingbing came to Erzhu, Erzhu had already lost his breath.

Pupils are dilated.

Han Bingbing was about to roll up her sleeves and perform CPR on Er Zhu, but was stopped by Yi Lin.

"It's useless, he was poisoned."

Wang Bing told Han Bingbing the general situation.

"Poisoned?"

Han Bingbing, who was still in shock, could only check Erzhu's body helplessly. Of course, she was not a forensic doctor, and she was unable to make an overly professional judgment without the conditions.

But after briefly inspecting Erzhu's body, she frowned and said with a certain degree of certainty: "The cause of death should be acute respiratory muscle paralysis and acute pulmonary edema... The nature of this toxin is a bit like neurological snake venom, but this It’s very toxic.”

Yi Lin stood up.

Take a few steps forward.

Away from everyone's sight.

A white figure silently merged into Yi Lin's body.

After Bai Xiaoyi floated around, under the shared vision, Yi Lin also obtained surrounding intelligence.

Nobody.

Yilin immediately released her spirit body.

But still unable to find traces of the other party.

There are only two possibilities. The enemy apostle's agility attribute is very high.

The second is that the distance he is located exceeds Yi Lin's search range.

Either way, it's tricky.

The other party was like a poisonous snake lurking in the gray fog, hunting its prey slowly and slowly.

When the prey is not paying attention, the poisonous fangs are revealed.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

Yi Lin had a headache.

The apostle who uses poisonous throwing knives...

It seems that I have never heard of this person.

Probably not too famous.

In other words, not too difficult to deal with.

But in a geographical location like gray fog in no-man's land, the opponent's capabilities become very tricky.

The flying knife shouldn't be very powerful, otherwise it wouldn't just cut such a shallow wound on Erzhu's palm.

And if that flying knife apostle had confidence in his own flying knife, he would not use poison, an unpopular but practical method of killing.

Cautious, unscrupulous, insidious, and shameless.

Yi Lin silently put a few labels on the other party.
