Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Plan B was, in reality, an infiltration mission.

It was to be carried out by Jingang and Lin Qi.

However, due to Jingang’s sensitive identity within Alliance City, he could only provide cover.

He would only be able to make his move at the opportune moment, using certain special permissions granted to his security team.

In other words, the vast majority of the pressure for the infiltration mission would fall on Lin Qi’s shoulders.

’Guang Ling really has a lot of faith in me. But when it comes to stealth, I have to admit I’m the better choice for an infiltration mission.’

This wasn’t the first time Guang Ling had given Lin Qi this kind of assignment. His previous mission in Greenfield City had been much the same.

Now that Lin Qi’s skills had been upgraded, he was, in theory, even better suited for infiltration work.

Guang Ling briefly outlined the mission details in a temporary chat window, then coordinated the timeline with everyone involved.

Guang Ling: "Ninghang Technology will most likely make their move before midnight tonight, but I can’t confirm the exact time. King Arthur and Master Ma need to get into position ahead of time and wait for an opening."

"Wizard, you also need to get ready. I’ll arrange an identity for you with nighttime access to Ninghang Technology. You’ll need to create a suitable disguise."

With Guang Ling’s final message, every member of the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps sprang into action.

With Guang Ling running interference, Lin Qi slipped out of the Alliance Mansion without a sound.

...

"It’s time to get to work. I have to go."

Inside a generic express hotel in Alliance City, a man who looked to be in his fifties with a body that had gone slightly to seed spoke as he started to get dressed.

The man looked ordinary, but he was equipped with high-level prosthetics. His body was about forty percent augmented, but the vast majority of his implants were S-Class Prosthetic Bodies.

"Don’t make too big of a scene, or it’ll make things difficult for me."

A woman’s voice came from behind him.

A woman with a fiery figure, who looked to be in her early thirties, was sitting on the bed. Like the man, she was practically naked.

If Lin Qi could see this, he would likely gasp in shock.

Lin Qi knew that face. She was none other than Baili Xueyuan, a Tier Four Blood Robe from the Assassin Alliance and Lin Xin’s teacher.

"It involves the European Administrative Region, so things are bound to get messy. But we’ll do our best to cover our tracks." The man had finished getting dressed.

Compared to his previous state of undress, the man now cut a rather impressive figure.

Seeing him fully dressed, Baili Xueyuan licked her lips but replied in a serious tone, "I don’t want to interfere with your decisions, and the Assassin Alliance has no jurisdiction over you anyway. But you’d better keep an eye on that kid."

"She just reached Tier Four, isn’t registered with any organization, and on top of that, she’s a European. If she gets caught, I’m in no position to protect her," Baili Xueyuan added with a note of caution.

"She might be young, but she’s an experienced Mercenary. She came to the Asian Administrative Region all by herself and fought her way up to Tier Four. She’s not as fragile as you think."

Fortunately, no one overheard this conversation. If Lin Qi had been within a kilometer and witnessed this scene, the man’s identity would have been immediately obvious.

Master Ma!

God only knew what kind of power was hidden beneath that seemingly out-of-shape physique.

This was a Tier Four Martial Artist, and not one of the long-established Tier Four Powerhouses, either.

Baili Xueyuan nodded. Seeing that Master Ma was dressed, the air around her seemed to distort for a moment. In the next instant, Baili Xueyuan was also fully clothed, the motion as silent and swift as a ghost’s.

Baili Xueyuan said, "I won’t cover for you on matters of principle. You’d best watch yourself."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "I’ve got a job now, too. It seems some of the permanent directors of the Big Business Alliance want to fan the flames and completely crush Jin Yuanxi. A new report has been submitted to the Alliance. I need to go talk with Jin Yuanxi."

The very reason Baili Xueyuan had come to Alliance City was that some of the permanent directors were colluding with Europe—a fundamental breach of principle.

As for Ninghang Technology?

They were also on the Assassin Alliance’s list of investigations.

It’s just that Ninghang Technology had covered its tracks so well that the Assassin Alliance had yet to collect any key evidence.

Although Master Ma had told her about the Round Table Knights, the plot hadn’t been exposed yet. The Assassin Alliance needed a proper catalyst to get involved legitimately.

Master Ma’s upcoming actions would serve as that very catalyst.

Master Ma nodded, said no more, and walked out of the hotel room without a backward glance.

Baili Xueyuan watched his retreating back, tsking to herself before muttering, ’Is that what men are like? The older they get, the less sentimental they become...’

She shook her head, and with another flicker of distorted air, Baili Xueyuan vanished from the room.

...

Core Road. Lin Qi had arrived in what was considered the most secure district in Alliance City.

It was a hub for the branch offices of many major corporations, including both Liu’s Heavy Industries and Ninghang Technology.

However, compared to the Liu Clan’s presence, Ninghang Technology’s branch here was much larger. It was nearly the size of their headquarters and, in terms of scale, was only slightly smaller than the branches of the eleven Intercontinental Giant Corporations in Alliance City.

This alone revealed Ninghang Technology’s ambition: they were aiming to become an Intercontinental Giant Corporation themselves.

At that moment, Lin Qi stood outside a Prosthetic Clinic. This particular clinic wasn’t affiliated with Liu’s Heavy Industries; it was the property of the Kudou Human Body Engineering Company.

In the field of Prosthetic Engineering, Kudou Human Body Engineering Company was clearly revealing its ambitions.
