Chapter 594 - - 496 Mutual Non-Aggression Pact_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

With all the Alien Warriors running naked through the bustling streets being slain, the assassination attempt on the President in the Imperial Capital finally drew to a close as the escaped Alien Warrior returned to their respective powers, inadvertently taking Duge’s motives with them.

The Third Army Group.

Lu Tingjie repeatedly watched the footage on the battle network of Duge slaying that group of people, but no matter how he paused the video, all he saw was a shadow, with the face indiscernible.

In the interest of caution, he did not go directly to the Imperial Capital but decided to wait until turmoil erupted in Seaside City to go there, avoiding Song Li’s control, which he felt exceedingly fortunate about. Control was exactly what he was most afraid of encountering in his keywords.

After witnessing Duge’s speed, he felt even more relieved. Even if he wasn’t controlled, encountering Duge meant certain death.

Among the Alien Warriors released by Duge, one was from Pulo Star, named Changjuan. Lu Tingjie looked at her and asked, “Is that really what he said?”

“Otherwise, how could I have returned?” Changjuan said, “To be honest, I found it quite unbelievable after coming back. At that moment, we all thought we were doomed.”

“What the hell is this guy up to?” Lu Tingjie frowned deeply, standing up and pacing back and forth, “This doesn’t make sense!”

“Is it possible that it’s a ploy to lure the enemy?” Ke Ye suddenly thought of a possibility, scrutinizing Changjuan, “You haven’t been tracked by him, have you?”

On alert, Changjuan stood up and said, “You’re not thinking of killing me, are you? When Song Li controlled us, she directly found our base through our battle network IDs. Is there a need for a living person to act as a beacon? Besides, doesn’t everyone know that the Third Army Group was under our control?”

“Kill you? Why would we do that?” Lu Tingjie glanced at her, signaling her to sit down, “We don’t kill our own, do we, if the enemy isn’t eliminated?”

Changjuan looked at the two of them and then sat back down.

Lu Tingjie asked, “Changjuan, do you think he is Duge?”

“Doesn’t seem like it,” Changjuan shook her head. “Duge is a madman. If he had such a big advantage, he would have steamrolled through by now, why would he have let us go? Moreover, when he killed those Alien Warriors, he clearly planned to leave some alive. It was only later, for some reason, he decided to kill everyone.”

“Old Ke, what do you think?” Lu Tingjie then turned to Ke Ye and asked.

Ke Ye, looking at the frozen video, mumbled, “I’m wondering, why most of the ones he left behind, or let go, were women? Even though he killed everyone in the end, he prioritised the men. That’s quite strange, Old Lu, are there any keywords related to women?”

“Love, romance, emotions, dual cultivation…” Lu Tingjie said.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Changjuan gave them a glance, “Not to mention his speed is clearly related to keywords like agility, looking at the things he’s done, which can be connected to women? It’s clearly a means to mislead others, making it impossible to guess his real keyword, and you’re actually following along with his thought process. I’m astonished. His purpose is to change Duge’s rush tactic, reviving the original Gou Path Style. Isn’t the essence of the Gou Path Style to disguise one’s own keywords?”

Lu Tingjie and Ke Ye exchanged glances.

Ke Ye said, “This explanation does make sense, but by doing so, he’s put himself completely in danger, which seems a bit counterintuitive.”

“Don’t think too much, it’s right to be cautious of him,” Lu Tingjie said. “There’s no way to break into the Presidential residence with the National Defense Bureau stationed there, we have to find another way to enter the space battlefront. The weapon that the space battlefront could use to destroy Green Star is like a time bomb, way too unsafe. If the masked hero doesn’t use it, it doesn’t mean others won’t.”

“Makes sense,” Ke Ye nodded.

“Old Lu, are you unsure if you could beat that guy?” Changjuan asked.

“For now, I’m not sure, I need to keep building my chance of victory; his speed is too fast,” Lu Tingjie glanced at her, “If the masked hero’s goal is to prolong the entire Alien Battlefield, it’s a good thing for us. Once I grow strong enough, perhaps I won’t need the space front’s weapon and can destroy the entire Green Star with my power. Next, I’ll continue to improve, my keywords, and skills must be kept strictly confidential.”

“We also need to find a way to eliminate Meng Lanyun and Zhao Mei from the National Defense Bureau. Summoning abilities are too frightening. During the summoning process, no matter how powerful one is, they have no power to defend,” Ke Ye said, “Perhaps those two are the masked hero’s final assurance for daring to do this.”

…

The information that the masked hero wanted to elongate the timeline of the Alien Battlefield quietly spread.

The Benevolent Association, the Eighth Army Group, Assembly Line Organization, the Sixteenth Army Group, and other organizations of Alien Warriors all analyzed the video materials on the battle network.

After much analysis, everyone came to the conclusion that the National Defense Bureau was an invincible foe.

The masked hero’s speed was too quick to guard against.

Even if there was to be open conflict with the National Defense Bureau, Meng Lanyun and Zhao Mei must be eliminated first.

Therefore, the National Defense Bureau’s move to prolong the timeline was seen as a good thing by all.

No one wanted to clash head-on with the National Defense Bureau at this time.

Of course, the Alien Warriors were also closely watching Duge in Seaside City, waiting to see how he would deal with the National Defense Bureau’s blatant challenge.
