Chapter 272 They Are the One Pursuing Me
Even though they had anticipated this, Shen Cheng and the rangers still felt a sense of unreality for a moment as they looked at the magnificent steel dungeon before them.

Is it really so easy to get in?

Sure enough, what Shen Cheng said was right. Sneaking in by yourself and being caught by yourself are two completely different things.

If you sneak in by yourself, you will face countless checkpoints and defenses along the way, and you will be discovered if you are not careful.

Once you are caught, it feels easier than going back home. You don’t even need to walk, you can just take a car in.

The rangers couldn't help but give Shen Cheng praiseful looks; his method indeed had the highest success rate.

Shen Cheng knew in his heart that it was not that simple. This method first required a thorough understanding of the headquarters of the entire Life Court, including the situation of the Intelligence Department and Minister Wang's personality.

In addition, it is necessary to master the files of the traitors and Shen Cheng's mind magic in order to perfectly disguise himself.

The difficulty of obtaining these prerequisites is no greater than sneaking in directly.

"Stop looking around and follow me."

At the soldiers' loud call, the group left the parking lot and were taken to the Intelligence Department for investigation. The ranger who pretended to be Du Tianming was taken away separately, and it was unknown what kind of treatment he would receive.

Everyone was taken to the intelligence department's interrogation building, and each person was assigned to a separate compartment and interrogated individually.

However, because they were all their own people, the interrogation atmosphere was very relaxed. It was not like facing an enemy where they had to use any means.

Before coming here, everyone had carefully checked their statements and even demonstrated it once, so there would be no chance of finding any flaws just by questioning them.

And these people are all meritorious people who caught wanted criminals. We can't use force against them during routine interrogation, right?
Therefore, after a brief questioning, their true identities were confirmed through internal files, and then everyone was released and gathered in a larger lounge.

"Excuse me everyone, routine interrogation is the job of our intelligence department, it is just to determine the facts, it is not specifically targeting you."

The officer in charge of the interrogation became very polite and said, "Please wait here. Minister Wang will meet with you when he is free. During this period, if you have any needs, please tell me and I will do my best to meet them."

After the intelligence official left, a ranger immediately began to check the lounge to see if there were any surveillance equipment.

After making sure that there was no problem, another ranger poked his hand on his belly and actually thrust his entire palm into his stomach.

When he took out his hand, there was a map in it.

The map was the headquarters map that Shen Cheng had drawn in the bar before. Everyone found their current location on the map, then compared the distance to the armory and found the most suitable route.

The rangers want to destroy the entire headquarters of the Living Tribunal, but force alone is not enough, they also need the help of explosives.

Therefore, the armory in the headquarters became everyone's target. They wanted to find explosives inside, install them everywhere and detonate them, hoping to destroy the entire underground city.

After determining the route, everyone started to act, because the Star Ranger who pretended to be Du Tianming could not hold on for too long, and he might be discovered after a quick blood type check.

Shen Cheng used infinite fission to create more than a dozen clones as substitutes, and continued to stay in the lounge to confuse the intelligence personnel.

Before leaving, Shen Cheng said to all the Star Sea Rangers.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I can only help you here for now."

He did not forget that the purpose of his trip was to find the whereabouts of Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli, not to follow the rangers to destroy the headquarters of the Life Court.

On the contrary, Shen Cheng had to find their whereabouts as soon as possible before they destroyed their headquarters.

So the two sides must separate at this moment.

"No way, you've helped us so much."

"That's right. You have made the greatest contribution to this success."

"We'll help you find someone along the way."

The rangers were very reasonable and even felt that Shen Cheng was too humble and polite.

He was able to help everyone sneak in and provide detailed intelligence about the headquarters, saving the rangers from a lot of trouble and problems. No matter how much I thank him, it would not be enough.

It would be easy to be discovered if they went through the main gate, so the rangers could only leave through the window, jumping out one by one like birds leaving their nests.

Before leaving, each of them had to shake hands with Shen Cheng, because they might not see each other again, and it might be a farewell forever.

"Don't pretend to be Star Ranger anymore."

When the bad-tempered Li Wei said this expressionlessly, Shen Cheng thought he was going to pick a fight with him again.

Unexpectedly, Li Wei grabbed Shen Cheng's hand tightly and squeezed it hard: "No matter what you think, your behavior is consistent with that of a true Star Ranger. Goodbye."

After saying that, he let go of Shen Cheng's hand and jumped out of the window.

Shen Cheng looked at his back as he disappeared into the darkness, thinking, isn't it awkward for someone of this age to still act like a tsundere?

However, Shen Cheng's mood inexplicably improved after being recognized by this bad-tempered ranger.

The rangers left one by one, and finally only Wei Yiting was left.

"What do you want to say goodbye to me?"

Looking at Wei Yiting's expectant eyes, Shen Cheng didn't know what to say to her for a moment.

Should I persuade her not to go?

There was no way she would listen, and Shen Cheng couldn't say it either, because it would tarnish the justice she believed in. No ranger would be a deserter at this time.

"Must survive."

In the end, Shen Cheng could only say such meaningless words.

"I will work hard."

Wei Yiting smiled faintly. Instead of shaking hands with Shen Cheng, she opened her arms and gave him a tight hug.

"I've been having a problem."

Wei Yiting whispered in Shen Cheng's ear: "You have pursued so many women, why haven't you pursued me? I think I'm not bad, right?"

"Uh."

Shen Cheng didn't expect Wei Yiting would ask such a question in the end.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Although it may sound a bit self-boasting, in fact, they were the ones who pursued me. I have never actively pursued anyone."

"Is it the same with you and Ruan Qingsha?"

"No, she had a crush on me secretly, and I found out, and then we got together naturally."

"Hahaha." Wei Yiting couldn't help laughing just by imagining Ruan Qingsha's secret crush on Shen Cheng and her embarrassment when she was found out.

"Goodbye."

Wei Yiting didn't hesitate. After letting go of Shen Cheng, she immediately jumped out of the window and chased after her companions in front.

Shen Cheng stood by the window, looking at the rangers going away, and fell into silence.

If it weren't for Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli, Shen Cheng was not sure whether he would be so excited and follow the rangers.

In the lounge, besides Shen Cheng and his split body, the only person left was Ning Qing who followed closely beside him.

“Will they succeed?”

Ning Qing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Even though they were from the Eternal Empire, even though these things had nothing to do with her, Ning Qing couldn't help but be moved when facing these star rangers who died bravely for justice.

She had never come into contact with the Star Rangers before, and based on rumors she thought they were a group of thugs who liked to break the rules. She didn't expect them to be so brave and noble, which made her respect them.

"It will work."

Shen Cheng answered Ning Qing's question in a firm tone: "The defense of the Life Tribunal headquarters is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The inside is not that strict, and they would not have thought that a group of rangers could sneak in so easily."

There are too many people living in this steel underground city. According to Cheng Mi's memory, there are at least over 100,000 people.

With such a huge population, it is impossible to adopt high-pressure and harsh living rules. The most they can do is rely on cameras and patrol personnel for protection.

The weakest Ranger is a Master, and there are several Aces who are almost impossible to detect.

But these are just Shen Cheng's wishful thinking. No one knows whether an accident will happen and lead to their exposure.

"Let's go find someone."

Shen Cheng did not delay any longer and took Ning Qing out of the lounge.

He must find Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli as quickly as possible, otherwise when the rangers start to cause destruction and the scene becomes chaos, it will be difficult to find them again.

-

Go back in time a little.

When Zhao Nanxing said that he was Zhao Nanxing, Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli didn't believe it.

They had seen Zhao Nanxing's appearance before, and she was very different from the ordinary-looking stranger in front of them.

Zhao Nanxing also knew that they would not believe it easily, so he rubbed his face with his hands and soon returned to his original appearance.

"Is it really you?"

Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli both made sounds of surprise.

They not only met Zhao Nanxing, but also knew the relationship between Zhao Nanxing and Ruan Qingsha.

They call Ruan Qingsha sister, and Zhao Nanxing is Ruan Qingsha's teacher, so rounding it off, Zhao Nanxing is their teacher.

"This is not the place to talk, please follow me."

Zhao Nanxing grabbed the young man who had been knocked unconscious on the ground, turned around and left. Seeing this, the three men hurriedly followed him.

Under the leadership of Zhao Nanxing, the group avoided all dangers and finally arrived at a place that looked like a dormitory. On the way, the young man who was knocked unconscious was easily dealt with by Zhao Nanxing.

"Just sit anywhere. It's safe here for now."

Zhao Nanxing's voice seemed to have a magical power, making the three of them feel an inexplicable sense of security, and their tense hearts finally relaxed.

Yan Qiuli couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zhao, where is this place? Why are you here?"

Facing Yan Qiuli's sweet address, Zhao Nanxing's usually serious face also showed a smile: "I am much older than you, just call me auntie."

Yan Qiuli tilted her head and asked, "But sister, you look very young."

This was not her intentional flattery. There was indeed no sign of aging on Zhao Nanxing's face.

"I wish my child could talk as well as you."

Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but think of Ruan Qingsha. When she was Yan Qiuli's age, she behaved like a hated person and was a complete problem child.

"This is a very dangerous place. I have some things to do here. What about you?"

Zhao Nanxing was very confused: "Why are you here too?"

This was the headquarters of the Living Tribunal. It took her a lot of effort to sneak in, and she was almost discovered several times.

The two little girls from Shen Cheng's family actually appeared in such a place. Zhao Nanxing thought he was seeing things at first.

"We were sent in by a clown."

Speaking of wind chimes, Xiao Qingque became a little indignant and quickly told Zhao Nanxing the whole story.

"A clown at a masquerade?"

Zhao Nanxing frowned slightly. She had little dealings with masquerade balls, and after thinking for a while she still couldn't guess what Feng Ling was going to do.

Then, she turned her gaze to Cheng Ying who was sitting next to her: "You seem to be somewhat hostile to me, why?"

Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli turned their heads and looked at Cheng Ying in surprise.

Cheng Ying was silent for a moment, then she mustered up her courage and looked up into Zhao Nanxing's eyes: "My sister Cheng Mi is a cadre of the Life Court. Did she die in your hands some time ago?"

"what?"

Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli both looked confused.

They did hear from the bodyguards who were guarding Cheng Ying that Cheng Ying's sister had indeed died some time ago, and they didn't expect it was related to Zhao Nanxing.

Cheng Ying ignored them, her eyes still fixed on Zhao Nanxing, wanting to know an answer.

She was not aware of the process of her sister's death. She only knew that her sister was going to assassinate a demon hunter named Zhao Nanxing, and finally she never came back. It was very likely that she died at the hands of the other party.

When Cheng Ying heard Zhao Nanxing introduce herself just now, she almost thought it was a homonym. It was only when she heard her communicating with Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli that she was sure of it.

Zhao Nanxing and Cheng Ying looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
