Chapter 012 Failure and Retrospective Analysis
Sitting on a platform that was only one square meter in size, Luo Xi looked around.
The surroundings were all water, and whether you stretched out your hand or leg, you would touch the icy water.
She simply moved her hands and feet, and the bullets "whooshed" into the water, splashing up ripples.
It was a warning! Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat.
Not daring to make any further moves, Luo Xi knelt on the small platform with her head down.
Looking at Xiang, he saw his younger sister Luo Xin still sobbing softly in his arms, and he held her tightly, refusing to let go.
Luo Xi could only gently stroke her back, again and again.
Besides comforting Luo Xin, Luo Xi was also doing something else: reviewing the situation!
Luo Xi knew that compared to her exceptionally talented predecessors, she was far inferior.
He is not particularly talented, nor does he have a good affinity with immortals. He is often not calm enough and is not decisive in killing.
However, she had a steadfast heart in seeking the truth!
The desire to seek the truth should be the most important thing; talent, effort, luck, and wisdom are secondary.
Think of those Golden Core Ancestors and Nascent Soul Great Powers. On the path of cultivation, which one of them didn't break through countless schemes and plots to eventually become a deeply scheming person?
Although her capture this time was partly intentional and partly accidental, there were definitely reasons behind it.
She should have noticed something was wrong with the rescue team much earlier, and she should have noticed the unusual behavior of her relatives and friends much sooner.
If we had recognized the problem early on and dealt with it promptly, we wouldn't have ended up in such a passive situation.
Or perhaps he was too overjoyed to embark on the path of cultivation, which caused him to lose his former discipline.
Calming down, Luo Xi began to sort out the cause and effect.
She woke up this morning, embarked on the path of cultivation, entered the first level of Qi Refining, and then fought against her delirious younger sister, Luo Xin.
Was it at this moment that the power of magic was revealed?
Although she used her abilities at other times, there were no surveillance measures in the vicinity.
The location where she fought her sister... was at the Witch Council branch in Dachang City.
The Witch Council? Rose?
Who is the enemy?
It's more likely the Witch Council.
If it were Rose, whether it were her or her sister, Rose would have a greater chance of controlling them.
The fact that she didn't take the initiative despite having more opportunities to do so might simply be because the time wasn't right, or because Rose had a longer-term, more covert plan.
While it cannot be proven that she is well-intentioned, Rose is a variable that can be used at present, compared to the Witch Council, which is already at war with her.
Besides, if Rose is an enemy, there's no need to help her or her sister become a witch...
Next is another point: information about her and her sister's abilities.
The only place where surveillance exists is at the Witch Council branch in Dachang City. This is the only possibility that the intelligence was exposed there, and the exposed information was most likely passed on to a higher level of this organization.
That makes sense.
In addition, the characteristics of the other party's actions this time...
Whether it's organizational capabilities, mobilization capabilities, or combat methods, the efficiency is so high, supported by such massive resources...
Luo Xi had now determined the nature of the Witch Council.
A top-secret organization with state backing, whose resources and strength are unfathomable.
The fact that they could act so efficiently shows that Fang had done in-depth research on the witch's abilities and had countermeasures.
The fact that she and her sister are now trapped in a small artificial lake confirms this, as it is a confinement facility specifically designed to exploit their magical properties.
Further analysis suggests that if Rose is a member of the Witch Council, then she is very likely an opposition figure or a defector within the Witch Council.
If Rose is not a member of the Witch Council, then she most likely belongs to another extraordinary organization, which is probably in competition with or even hostile to the Witch Council.
It is clear that this operation against them was a meticulously planned operation, and perhaps even part of a larger, more ambitious plan.
Bait?
Were she and her sister merely bait in this plan?
Whether out of anger or helplessness, Luo Xi slowly relaxed her clenched fist.
From the moment she became a witch and embarked on the path of cultivation, she only ever killed vicious criminals.
As for her younger sister, she was even more innocent, only 9 years old before she became a witch.
Dealing with them this way...
Luo Xi's eyes grew even colder.
She still has a trump card...
After refining the inner core of a monster from construction debris, her magic power changed.
She can manipulate matter from a distance, activating it, and she can completely control the activated matter.
She calls it the power of enlightenment!
Thinking too much is pointless; the primary objective now is to find a way to escape.
Without making a sound, Luo Xi touched the water that had just been splashed up by bullets on the platform, her heart filled with murderous intent!
"I want to see your leader!" Luo Xi shouted towards the water.
No one responded.
Frowning slightly, Luo Xi looked at her sister, who had finally stopped sobbing, and quietly began to use her magic.
……
Dachang City Witch Council Branch.
Shortly after Li Chen left, Yang Jian sensed that something was wrong.
Someone is monitoring him.
Yang Jian was not surprised; they were just surveillance agents arranged by the headquarters.
However, the frequency of monitoring is a bit too high.
Why do you always distrust him?
Within the Witch Council branch, Yang Jian's word is not absolute; the branch's actions are all subject to oversight from the main council.
It's a bit too quiet to be conducting top-secret activities right now.
Perhaps it was the calm before the storm, Yang Jian thought.
They require 24-hour on-call service; it looks like I'll be sleeping at the branch office for quite some time.
After waiting for several hours without receiving any new orders, Yang Jian yawned.
Just as I was about to light a cigarette, a gunshot rang out, followed by an explosion!
Yang Jian suddenly stood up!
As a top-secret military operation, it is normal that, for the sake of secrecy, those carrying out the operation usually only know the specific steps they are responsible for.
However, it's unusual that he wasn't notified of such a large-scale operation.
He's in charge of the city!
He had absolutely no idea about this level of operation.
Why would you always hide it from him?
Li Chen!
Yang Jian reacted instantly.
He must have been accused. Only when accused during such a special period would the authorities quietly revoke his authority.
At the same time, he was allowed to travel freely as usual, so that he would not realize for a while that the person in charge had changed.
All of these measures are in order to ensure that the operation is free from any risk.
"Where is Li Chen?" Yang Jian called to his secretary. "Take me to see Li Chen!"
The secretary immediately took out a phone, dialed the number, handed it to Yang Jian, and turned to leave. "He's not at the branch office. He's currently involved in highly classified matters. Chairman Yang, you should speak with him personally."
"Li Chen?" Yang Jian, though furious, still spoke calmly, "Stop your operation immediately!"
"Too late, we've already taken action," Li Chen's icy voice rang out. "I'm now in charge. The witches have been forced to their planned location. We'll capture two witches. Wait for good news, Chairman Yang."
"Also, you should call me Chairman Li now. While you're at it, throw us a celebration banquet."
Li Chen hung up the phone.
Yang Jian's face was so gloomy it could drip water.
He has repeatedly warned of the dangers of witches, but some people still won't listen.
Not only did they court death, but they also dragged innocent people down with them.
This time, I'm afraid he can't escape it either.
