Chapter 201: Chapter 155: The Sword is Drawn"Ten Chi Xiao Knights split into two groups to enter Immortal City, and you’re in the second group, setting off one hour later," Zhou Yishang glanced at the time, "You should go get disguised now." Ji Xinghuo left the office and headed to the Special Service Section. There were already four swordsmen present, two men and two women. Ji Xinghuo’s gaze swept over them; none looked easy to mess with, each of them was at least a Super Mutant, immensely powerful. All four were Chi Xiao Knights. Ji Xinghuo only recognized Ling Yufei and nodded to her before lying down on the operating table, waiting for the surgeon to disguise him. "You are also taking part in this mission?" Ling Yufei asked with some surprise. "Mm." Ji Xinghuo replied once. "Gu Yan, is this the new Chi Xiao Knight?" A man in his thirties asked Ling Yufei, he had been observing Ji Xinghuo but couldn’t make anything out. "He is called..." Ling Yufei was about to say Ji Xinghuo’s name but suddenly remembered the principle of confidentiality. Chi Xiao Knights should not probe each other’s identities unless necessary. Moreover, Ji Xinghuo’s identity was special; his name was on the Sky Ladder, which made it easy to expose. "His code name is ’New Sky’, he was just promoted to Chi Xiao Knight last month," she briefly introduced. Each Knight of the Sword Bureau had a code name. Ji Xinghuo chose "New Sky", a name he picked casually, using the nickname he had on the Martial Arts Platform. Ling Yufei’s code name was Gu Yan, and she introduced Ji Xinghuo to the other Chi Xiao Knights. Of course, she only introduced their code names. They were all colleagues from the Sword Bureau, and there were no conflicts of interest. Although they were competitors in this mission, they needed to cooperate, so the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. About to embark on a mission, no one was really in the mood for chatting or making new friends. Privately, Ji Xinghuo committed to memory the physical characteristics and magnetic field patterns of these Chi Xiao Knights. Soon, the surgeon was ready. Ji Xinghuo lay at an angle on the operating table as the doctor injected a prepared potion into his face. Instantly, he felt the muscles on his face tingle with a sour numbness and pain, the flesh under the skin writhing. In just a few dozen seconds, he had transformed into another face entirely. Standing up and looking in the mirror, his eyebrows were raised, his eye sockets deepened, and his skin tone darkened. His hair was then dyed brown and styled into a Mohawk, shaving the sides to leave only a thin layer and carving out geometric patterns, quite dashing. In less than twenty minutes, Ji Xinghuo had become a punk-looking spirited young man. A swordsman from the Information Department handed over a data card. "This is your identity in Immortal City." Ji Xinghuo read it carefully. The name of this identity was "David Renatus", 27 years old, a mixed-race of Latin and Asia-Pacific Community, grew up in the Asia-Pacific Community since childhood, and became a mercenary in Immortal City five years ago, earning a living by taking on some "dirty work." David’s occupation was Ranger, an Intermediate Mutant, skilled in firearms shooting. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This identity was completely real, truly existing in the database of Immortal City. Every once in a while, the South American branch of the Sword Bureau would send a swordsman to pose as David, acting in Immortal City to maintain the authenticity of this identity. This type of identity was called a "Scabbard." Around the world, the Sword Bureau forged and maintained numerous Scabbards across all professions. When swordsmen needed, they would utilize these Scabbards to undertake missions in disguise. The other Chi Xiao Knights had also completed their disguises, each having a Scabbard of their own. The "Planning Department" of the Intelligence Information Department, a team specifically responsible for this action, held a brief meeting with the five Chi Xiao Knights. Zhou Yishang was the chief in charge of the operation. When the meeting ended, Ji Xinghuo and the other four immediately boarded a Sky Fighter and headed for the Chaka Star Gate. The fastest way to travel on Earth was not by vacuum train or Sky Fighter but through the Star Gates, which connected various locations. Immortal City had a Star Gate, which while nominally controlled by the American Federation, was really owned by three major conglomerates. They worked together to circumvent federal laws, and entering the Star Gate simply required a passage fee. Regardless of who they were, it was possible to travel between Earth and Immortal City. Moments later. Ji Xinghuo and the others used a special pass from the Sword Bureau, avoided the queue, and entered the Star Realm through the Chaka Star Gate, arriving at Olympia. The five Chi Xiao Knights did not stay together but dispersed throughout Olympia City. As previously agreed. Ji Xinghuo wandered around Olympia City for two hours, then returned to Star Gate Square, headed to the sector of the Star Gate that led to Immortal City, paid the toll, and smoothly entered the Star Gate. The scene before him twisted. When Ji Xinghuo’s vision restored, he found himself inside a huge building. The Star Gate was at the center of the hall, surrounded by bright light as if it were midday. Platoons of fully armed soldiers stood around, while countless weapons hid behind the high walls. He sent out his magnetic field scanning. The Star Gate hall was located at the bottom of a massive skyscraper whose height exceeded two thousand meters, soaring into the clouds. The hall was extremely modern, with floor as clean as a mirror and walls made of large connected electronic screens, guiding people on how to exit the place. Ji Xinghuo’s eyes swept over the surrounding soldiers, feeling a chill in his heart. These soldiers were part of the Mechanical Rebel Army! On the surface, they were still human, but beneath their armor and helmets, most of their limbs and organs had been replaced by synthetic machinery. This kind of Mechanical Rebel Army, based on Mutants and endowed with technological weapons, possessed strength far beyond that of their mutant peers.
