63 This one, this one, and this one!
With the demonic cultivators gone, the city's protective array returned to calm, and the crowd on the city walls dispersed.
Xu Yan returned to the guest courtyard and used his divine sense to peer into the rented floors through the light gate.
The situation at home is not bad; the Shadow Sword is stuck in the wall opposite the bathroom and remains motionless.
As the great writer Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
Last time the Blood Sword was stuck in the ground, this time the Shadow Sword is stuck in the wall. If this happens a few more times, will it tear down the house?
After withdrawing his divine sense, Xu Yan was unable to calm down for a long time, his mind filled with streaks of blood light falling from the sky.
Although he was just a passerby from another world, he still felt extremely frustrated at this moment.
No, we must hurry up and improve our strength.
He jumped to his feet, rushed out of the guest courtyard to find Yuan Zijing, and exchanged two jade tablets for a lot of gold and several bottles of pills for healing and recovery.
Xu Yan rushed back to the guest house without stopping. He closed the doors and windows tightly, silently counted to three, and suddenly exerted his strength to rush forward. With a flash of light, Xu Yan appeared in the rented room.
It was midnight when Xu Yan grabbed a can of soda and gulped it down.
1.6 kilometers away, the observation post was awakened by a piercing alarm and quickly reported: "Director Zou, spatial fluctuations detected, target spotted!"
"Continue to observe!"
"yes!"
Director Zou hung up and immediately dialed Li Er's number: "Where are you?"
"Downstairs at Building 9, Binhu Residential Area!"
"Where is the emergency response team?"
"Also there!"
"Excellent, target returned, proceed immediately!"
Li Er's heart skipped a beat: They're back already?
He dared not and could not hesitate, and immediately nudged Zhang San: "Let's do it!"
The two got out of the car and quickly walked into the elevator. When the elevator stopped on the 22nd floor, they heard the news that the emergency team was in place through their earpieces.
The two exchanged a glance and knocked on the door of room 2201.
"Who?" a voice called out.
Li Er took a deep breath: "Check the water meter!"
……
After seeing Li Er and Zhang San off, Xu Yan rubbed his temples, his mind racing with thoughts.
The reason he rushed back at this critical juncture was that he had the idea of seeking help from the country.
Logically, since Li Er and Zhang San have already brought the connections to Xu Yan's doorstep, a direct confrontation would be a good choice. However, given the gravity of the situation, Xu Yan cannot verify their identities. How can he so easily trust two strangers?
What? You're saying that you can't get such accurate intelligence outside the system?
Who can say for sure?
Didn't Li Er say that he wasn't the only one who time-traveled? What if he was an imposter?
Xu Yan had read in novels that in the old days, gangs that engaged in shady dealings would sometimes spend several years slowly getting close to their targets, gaining their trust, and then closing in to make a huge profit.
It's okay if there are flaws in the cultivation world, since it's another dimension. But the present world is his own world, so how could he dare to be careless?
But how do we get in touch with the authorities?
As a qualified online novelist, keeping up with popular trends is a basic skill. Recently, there have been quite a few fantasy novels that have contributed to the country, but the plots of them are either breaking into military camps or police stations. Is this something that a person with a brain would do?
Verifying the identities of these two people isn't actually that difficult!
Xu Yan smiled slightly, picked up his phone and dialed the police number: "Hello, just now two people impersonating police officers checked my water meter, and they said they were from some kind of special security bureau. I've never even heard of this place. They can't even make up a believable lie... Yes... Yes, I live in Unit 5, Building 9, Binhu Community, Room 2201..."
After hanging up, he didn't stop there. He then made a counter-espionage call, claiming that he possessed important secrets and suspected that the two people were foreign spies.
Not long after, Li Er and Zhang San reappeared in front of Xu Yan.
Li Er sighed helplessly, "Mr. Xu, is this really necessary?"
"It's absolutely necessary," Xu Yan said.
"Alright, I understand." Li Er smiled wryly. "If you're still worried, we can provide some necessary documentation."
Xu Yan was surprised: "For example?"
"We can make the TV play the content you specify."
Xu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Controlling my TV signal and then using AI to process the image shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Li Er and Zhang San exchanged a glance, and the former said, "So, you don't believe in websites or other similar methods either, right?"
Xu Yan nodded and shook his phone: "Those two calls just now, I suspect they were intercepted."
This is only preliminary verification; relying solely on a phone call is not enough to constitute solid evidence.
Li Er and Zhang San both sighed.
This person isn't extreme, but isn't this suspicion a bit too much?
Li Er scratched his head and said, "Mr. Xu, do you have any good ideas?"
"How about this, take me to visit a place with a high level of security, the kind that absolutely can't be faked, like... the military!"
Li Erxin said wearily, "Mr. Xu, the Special Security Bureau's power is not unlimited. The units that need to be kept secret are kept secret from us as well."
"Oh?" Xu Yan raised an eyebrow.
He's starting to believe in their identities now.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you." Xu Yan decided to lay his cards on the table, unleashing his most powerful and unyielding spirit. "This is my sincerity."
"What is this?"
"A body-refining technique should still be useful in the modern world."
What do you want?
Here comes the point!
Xu Yan leaned forward: "My situation in this other world is extremely dangerous. I need some powerful weapons for self-defense, is that alright?"
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Er said, "How powerful? A mushroom bomb definitely won't work."
Xu Yan rolled her eyes: "We don't need mushroom bombs."
He gave a brief description, and Li Er immediately understood: "There are several plans for dealing with powerful individuals. One is small-caliber tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles. If necessary, depleted uranium can also be used."
Hey!
Xu Yan could barely be considered a military enthusiast, and he knew a little about depleted uranium. It wasn't the best armor-piercing projectile, but it was the most ruthless and dirty.
"Secondly, we can provide a small amount of all-nitrogen anionic salts."
Xu Yan was even more surprised.
He had heard of this too; it was ten times more powerful than TNT!
The pyrotechnic effects in movies and television are all nonsense; real explosives are much more powerful.
"Third, swarm drone dive-bombing..."
Xu Yan suddenly interrupted: "Do you have an electromagnetic cannon? Or an electromagnetic rifle would also work."
Li Er cried out in his heart, "Can you please not have such extreme ideas?"
"I dare not say, I must apply for coordination."
"How long will it take?"
"It's hard to say."
"Since that's the case, let me share my thoughts." Xu Yan took out several jade tablets. "Have you heard of laser-engraved glass?"
Li Er shook his head, and Zhang San nodded.
Xu Yan took a thick-bottomed water glass, cut off the bottom to the size of the jade scroll, and engraved three layers of golden armor array symbols into it: "Help me find a place that can do glass engraving. Carve it according to the pattern inside. There can't be the slightest mistake. Any problems?"
"No," Zhang San said.
"I'm in a hurry!" Xu Yan emphasized.
"No problem," Zhang San said again. "3D scanning of the digital sample and laser engraving will be quick."
"That's great... Please get this, this, and this ready for me." The city's protective formation could hold for another three days. Xu Yan mentally calculated and took out a pile of items. "It's 1:30 AM now, I have eight and a half hours... Please convert this gold into cash, and the cost will be deducted directly!"
