Chapter 568: Guessing the Hidden Dragon

Kyoto, inside the secret base of the National Security Bureau's Hidden Dragon Special Brigade. Liu Minrui, the captain of the Yinlong team, was sitting at his desk listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Captain, after this period of investigation, the identities of the seven islanders who disappeared in Yinhai City have been basically confirmed."

"Those three elderly men and women are three of the four great onmyoji in the island country, Miyamoto Ruun, Kamo Miyuki, and Qingchuan Yukiko! The other four middle-aged men are the four special ninjas of the island country's Kamikaze Rangers, Hattori Kosuke, Fujiwara Yoichi, Kishitani Qiyu, Katori Arizawa..."

Hearing the subordinate's report, Liu Minrui couldn't help but squinted his eyes slightly, unable to see what expression it was. He said slowly, "The identities of these seven people... Are you sure?"

"Yes, Captain. We have also contacted the intelligence personnel in the island country, and the accuracy of this list is at least 80%." The person standing in front of Liu Minrui quickly replied.

"Hmm... Interesting. Except for the **** Kiyono who was killed and died in the Fuchun Mountain eruption disaster last year, all the remaining three Onmyojis have come, and there are also four special ninjas from the Kamikaze Rangers. This scene is amazing. It's really big enough, and the island country can really spare it!"

Liu Minrui murmured to himself, then pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to the subordinate in front of him, "These seven people haven't been seen since this period of time, have they?"

The man replied: "Our people have carefully searched Yinhai and its surrounding areas, and have also contacted Dragon Soul, but they have not found any traces of these people. It seems that they really disappeared out of thin air."

After a slight pause, the man continued: "According to the uncertain news from the island country's intelligence agents, it seems that even the island country has lost contact with these people. Therefore, we suspect that these people are... ..."

Speaking of this, the man didn't continue talking. After all, it was just a guess without any solid basis, and he didn't dare to say it so directly in front of Liu Minrui.

Knowing what he meant, Liu Minrui said calmly, "You suspect that these seven people are already dead. Or are they trapped somewhere?"

The man paused for a while, then nodded slowly, and replied: "Yes! But we think it is more likely that these seven people are dead."

Liu Minrui raised his hand to caress his chin, and said in a low voice: "The third of the four major Onmyojis in the island country, plus the four special ninjas from the Kamikaze Ranger... Such power. I want to wipe them out without a sound. Among the information we have, I am afraid there are only two people who can do it."

Probably hearing Liu Minrui whispering to himself, the person who reported to Liu Minrui hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "Captain, I think if those people in the island country are really dead, it is very likely that they are dead. That guy named Yin Xiu did it."

"He has such a motive, and he should also have such an ability. At the beginning, Min Gongfeng didn't report that he was knocked into the air by the other party's understatement. Moreover, when he was about to hit the wall, he was supported by a sudden invisible force. ..."

Speaking of which. The man paused again, and then continued: "In Min Gongfeng's report, it was speculated that the person named Yin Xiu may have broken through the extreme of cultivation and reached the realm of transcendence and holiness. His strength is far superior to that of Min. I don't know how many offerings."

"In addition, according to the information we have collected recently, there has been a rumor circulating in the Jianghu recently. It is said that in Yinhai City, a peerless figure who has clearly stepped into the realm of transcendence and sanctification appeared. I think the rumor in the Jianghu The person mentioned is most likely referring to this Yin Xiu!"

Hearing the subordinate's words, Liu Minrui was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked: "Rumors in the world? Tell me the specific situation!"

Obviously he didn't know about this quack rumor. After all, as the captain of the hidden dragon. There are many things he has to pay attention to and deal with on weekdays, some of which are unproven. Information that is just rumors may not be directly reported to him immediately.

Hearing Liu Minrui's question, the man quickly replied: "That's it. A few days ago, I don't know where it started, and there were gradually rumors that someone in this world really broke through the shackles of the ultimate cultivation and reached an unprecedented level. The extraordinary state of becoming a saint, and that peerless expert is in Yinhai City."

"Rumors also say that as long as you step into the realm of transcendence and sanctification, you can rejuvenate and live forever..."

Hearing this, Liu Minrui's face suddenly fell into a contemplative look, and those sharp and keen eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly, and two sharp rays of light appeared from the narrow and long eye slits.

"Rejuvenate, live forever?"

Liu Minrui murmured.

Seeing this, the subordinates in front of him knew that he was deep in thought, so they stopped talking, did not continue talking, and just waited quietly.

After a while, Liu Minrui suddenly raised his eyelids, looked at the subordinate in front of him again, and said, "Go and bring me all the information about Yin Xiu's recent movements."

The man quickly replied: "Captain, because he was warned by the other party before, so our people did not dare to follow him during this time. Therefore, the collection of information on his recent movements is relatively general and one-sided... "

Liu Minrui nodded slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter. You can send all the information about his situation that you have collected recently."

He was also clear about this situation, so he didn't mean to blame his subordinates.

Afterwards, Liu Minrui seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked, "By the way, since there are such rumors in the Jianghu, how will those people in the Jianghu react?"

"According to what we have learned, most people in the Jianghu are dubious about this. However, there are also quite a few people in the Jianghu who set off for Yinhai City one after another with the mentality that they would rather believe what they have or not."

After a slight pause, the man continued: "In addition, we have also discovered the movement of some foreign forces. It seems that many foreign forces have also heard the rumors of the rivers and lakes, and sent many people to Yinhai."

"For this reason, Dragon Soul dispatched a lot of people to Yinhai urgently a few days ago to ensure that the situation can be controlled and deal with various possible emergencies..."

"So, Yinhai City is now a mixed bag?" Liu Minrui said.

The man nodded his head and replied: "That's true. According to what we know, there are many ghosts and monsters in Yinhai City. People from the Jianghu and foreign forces... many people have poured into Yinhai."

Liu Minrui suddenly smiled lightly, and said with some irony: "So, the pressure on Dragon Soul should be quite heavy now!"

After teasing, Liu Minrui waved to the subordinate in front of him again, and said, "Go and bring me the recent information about Yin Xiu."

"Yes, Captain!"

The man responded, and hastily left Liu Minrui's office.

After his subordinate left, Liu Minrui couldn't help picking up a signature pen on the desk in front of him, and then silently wrote the name 'Yin Xiu' on the paper.

Then he leaned back on the chair, looked at the name on the paper quietly, subconsciously tapped the table with the fingers of his right hand, and stroked his chin with the other hand, with a pensive look on his face.

"Rejuvenation, immortality... The rumors in the world have always been groundless. You can't believe it all, but you can't completely believe it."

"This person has stepped into the realm of transcendence and sanctification. I'm afraid there are eight or nine out of ten things. But, after stepping into the realm of transcendence and sanctification, can he really rejuvenate and live forever?"

A photo of Yin Xiu appeared in Liu Minrui's mind involuntarily.

He has never seen Yin Xiu in person, but he has seen many photos of Yin Xiu.

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Minrui gradually felt that even if the rumors in the rivers and lakes said that as long as one reaches the realm of transcendence and sagehood, one can rejuvenate and live forever, it is not entirely true, but part of it is true, so it should still be extremely possible big.

"After all, his age seems to be in his twenties, but he may have surpassed the countless talented and brilliant predecessors in the past thousands of years, and reached the legendary state of transcendence and holiness. If you use common sense to infer , even if he started cultivating in the womb, it is absolutely impossible."

"However, if stepping into the realm of transcendence and sanctification can really rejuvenate people, or have a similar effect that can make people return to youth. Then, let's assume that Yin Xiu is already fifty or sixty years old, or even seventy or eighty years old. Or older..."

"In this case, it can be explained."

"However, rejuvenation, eternal youth... These are still unbelievable, fantasy!" Liu Minrui murmured to himself.

In addition, he actually has another guess in his mind, but this guess is even more 'unbelievable' and 'unconstrained'.

Without any supporting evidence, Liu Minrui was not very willing to take a purely baseless guess in his heart seriously.

"Regardless of whether they are the same person or not, there are at least some things that can be determined. The level of 'transcendence and sanctification' is real, not just an illusory legend."

"In addition, there is a great possibility that people can regain their youthful appearance and even increase their lifespan after practicing to 'transcendence and sanctification'."

"Finally, the level of transcendence and sanctification should be an extremely critical barrier in the process of cultivation. As long as one can overcome it, one will undergo some metamorphosis beyond the laws of nature, and even have some abilities that cannot be measured by common sense..."

Liu Minrui thought to himself.

Then unconsciously grabbed the signature pen on the table, and continued to quietly write down the four words 'Silver Sea Immortal' next to Yin Xiu's name on the paper.

In the end, Liu Minrui seemed to have thought about it, and drew an equal sign between Yin Xiu and Immortal Yinhai, and wrote a question mark on top of the equal sign, and then put down the pen in his hand.

With no basis, Liu Minrui can only make some pure guesses. But without any evidence to prove his guess, he can only put a question mark on his guess.

"If this person is really the 'Silver Sea Immortal'... then, what kind of relationship does General Xiao's family have with him?"

"And the Yin family in Jiangyuan City! If he really came from the Yin family, then this Yin family..."

All kinds of conjectures continued to spread in Liu Minrui's mind, and he became more and more preoccupied. (to be continued ~^~)
