Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 741 - 163: It’s Time to Retaliate
Everyone knows the President is masterful in military strategy, unbeatable in battle.
But exactly how he utilizes his troops, barely anyone can explain clearly.
Perhaps, some might guess that to eradicate the deep-rooted problems of Tianmen, he would mobilize the Imperial Guard from the Capital.
But moving the Capital Guard would also mean a gap in the Capital’s defenses. Once pulled, this could trigger a chain reaction, creating unforeseen issues in the eyes of those with intentions.
Indeed, the Imperial Guard did not move; what came instead were the forces from outside the border, the Tiger King Army.
No one could have expected that what was being shipped on train cars, one after another, from beyond the boundary were not only golden corn cobs but also numerous fully-armed robust men from the North.
This secret military operation had even begun during the summer’s floods. The troops from outside the border who came for flood relief had never left but stayed under the pretext of hospital construction and helping to resume production.
At that time, no one noticed anything amiss.
Until tonight, when the Qilin Army was too preoccupied with its internal strife to care, few knew that the elite garrison troops of the Tiger King Army had quietly infiltrated the city, sealing Tianmen as tightly as an iron barrel, impenetrable.
As dawn draws near, this net is slowly tightening.
Apart from the Mountain Leader Kong Ting of Jishan Academy, there were many others forced to desperation tonight. However, their futile resistance didn’t cause much of a stir this night.
Wang Yunxiao did not understand the full scope of the situation.
When he saw military vehicles loaded with soldiers appearing on the streets, he felt as if he was in a different era.
The first people’s hospital built with the assistance of the Tiger King Army in Tianmen City had just been built less than half a month ago, its main building still uncapped, with only some sections temporarily open to the public.
Wang Yunxiao sat in the corridor, silently observing the notebook in his hands.
"Big brother, have some water."
Dumpling handed over a cup of water, Wang Yunxiao waved his hand.
"How many of our brothers are still able to move?"
"Big brother..."
Wang Yunxiao looked up to see Sorghum and Crispy Skin timidly standing before him.
Among the twelve brothers, there were those who could fight and those who could not. Those who loved to talk and those who preferred silence.
Sorghum and Crispy Skin were the kind who had a particularly low presence.
Faint-hearted and not very bright, they always hid in the back during a fight.
These two usually followed Wormwood, tasked with surveillance and providing cover.
Now that all the brothers upfront were down, it was just down to these two.
"Where’s Wormwood?"
"Brother Wormwood broke his right hand."
When this happened, Wang Yunxiao didn’t even notice.
"You two go back to the academy."
"Big brother, we’re not leaving!"
"Stop the nonsense, I have a task for you. Go to the principal to get a document, head to the finance office to draw some money, and cover the medical expenses upfront. We don’t have much dealings with the Tiger King Army; place the money wisely, don’t give them a chance to find fault."
Wang Yunxiao then seriously picked up the notebook: "One more thing, Li Mumu has a notebook exactly like mine. Go get it from her, tell her I said so. Remember to take off this uniform to avoid that lady’s curiosity getting triggered, asking you this and that. Once you’ve got the notebook, deliver it immediately to the principal, don’t delay or make a mistake, got it?"
"Got it!"
At this moment, Youtiao and Gangtou came out of the ward, Gangtou’s head wrapped in gauze, but seemingly with no serious external injuries.
He was the biggest in frame, but slow in thought and action, always arranged by Wang Yunxiao to act as a human shield next to Chen Yan and Little Gourd.
But this time, he didn’t block anything.
Gangtou’s eyes were red, but he said nothing.
Youtiao whispered, "Little Gourd is okay, Chen Yan... the doctor said it’s up to her whether she can wake up."
Wang Yunxiao nodded, glancing at the numbers displayed on the notebook.
72/8...
"Dumpling stays to accompany him; you two come with me."
"Okay!"
After checking the ammunition, the three of them walked out of the hospital, just bumping into Xiang Biao covered in the smell of gunpowder.
"Stop!"
Xiang Biao stretched out his hand to stop Wang Yunxiao, looked at his empty rear, and then at his lifeless eyes, and immediately understood.
"Kid, need help?"
"No need."
Wang Yunxiao shook his head and said, "If you care, for the sake of fighting side by side last night, please take extra care of my men."
"Sure, the wounded from Nantong District Special Service Department, I’ll talk to them."
"Thank you."
Revenge, if it can’t be done by oneself, then it’s meaningless.
Walking to a secluded corner with no one around, Wang Yunxiao took out his notebook, opened it, and said coldly, "Take us along, I’m in a bad mood today, you better not pull any tricks."
The notebook shook slightly, and lines of text began to appear.
"It seems particularly lively outside tonight..."
"Fireworks burst in the sky occasionally, just like during the New Year."
Under the gaze of the third eye between Wang Yunxiao’s eyebrows, these lines of text jumped out of the notebook, extending into the real world.
He saw a book.
At this moment, such a book was hidden between the cracks of the Real World and Dreamland, constantly writing new text, while old text was being erased, burned.
It seemed unaware that an ordinary-looking, inconspicuous notebook appeared silently from the void, carefully transformed into a book page, and adhered onto it.
This was Wang Yunxiao’s first experience of a brand-new dimension crossing, feeling as though he had become the text, flowing through the pages, and then transforming back into a living human being.
Of course, this was the result of his deliberate relaxation and lack of resistance.
Otherwise, with the strength shown by the notebook, it’s still far from being able to drag the Garrison Soldiers who were Forming Array.
Voluntary degradation always comes with a corresponding price, but Wang Yunxiao isn’t really concerned about that now.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he turned his head to the side.
This was a seemingly ordinary house, where a family of three were deeply asleep on the kang, completely unaware of the outsider’s arrival.
The old thing hidden really deep, just like a corn, if you don’t dig it out thoroughly, it might grow back someday.
This guy prepared as many as seventy-two clones for himself, some stayed in the city causing distractions, others hid and fled all over the place. However, most of these clones have been destroyed.
Only these last few clones, disguised as ordinary people, hiding in civilian homes.
You have such skill, why not do something good? Working manual labor for a month could earn a decent amount of money.
Without a word, Wang Yunxiao raised his gun and fired.
The little boy sleeping between his parents suddenly opened his eyes, showing a look of shock and anger, and his entire body transformed into countless pages, scattering in all directions.
Before he could even escape from the blankets, Wang Yunxiao drew the long sword from behind his back and slashed down!
If it weren’t for this old thing’s shameless sneak attack, our brothers might not have suffered such heavy casualties.
A mighty deceiver, even resorts to dirty tricks and sneak attacks against the younger generation, haven’t you ever won honestly in your life?
When Wang Yunxiao set out from the police station, he had already retrieved the Sword of Impermanence, but hadn’t found the right opportunity to use it until now. It’s time to return the favor, with a big surprise!
Who the hell doesn’t know how to sneak attack!
With the Sword of Impermanence drawn, all was silent, the flying pages shattered, revealing the disheveled form of a middle-aged scholar.
"How did you find out..."
Wang Yunxiao threw a punch backhandedly, smashing it into his face, his furious fist directly stuffing into his face, grinding his nasal bones to dust!
