Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 191 The inner government begins to take action

midnight.

Li You, Genichiro, and Isshin Ashina himself stood at the fence beside the watchtower, looking at the city in the distance.

From this location, you can also see most of the city.

Yixin was wearing a simple white robe, holding the night vision binoculars given by Li You in his hand. After watching the movement at the tiger's mouth staircase for a while, he put it down, snorted and said:
"The rats in the inner palace couldn't help but get excited as soon as they heard that I was ill!"

Li You saw that his left hand was subconsciously stroking the katana at his waist, and he knew that he couldn't help but want to kill the mouse again, so he quickly dissuaded him:

"It's okay. The inner army is only a small force that has sneaked into the city. I don't need you to take action yet."

Yixin said: "Hey! I know, this is to cover up the news that I have recovered. Don't worry, Li You, I won't take action."

Genichiro also nodded: "Only by convincing the inner army that my grandfather is still seriously ill can we bring in their forward troops and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Yi Xin glanced at Li You and said, "Having said that, Li You, your plan is really bold!"

Li You said: "When it comes to the art of war, I am far inferior to Kame Genichiro. I just put forward some immature ideas, and he turned them into actual plans."

After almost collecting all the elite members of the Snake Eyes clan, both Li You and Xian Yilang felt that it was time to do something, and they could not always be passive defensive.

After the discussion between the two, Xian Yilang adopted and optimized the method proposed by Li You to lure the snake out of the hole, blocked the news of Ishin's recovery, and asked Li You's Luanbo people to disguise themselves and pretend that Isshin was on his deathbed. The information was passed on.

At the same time, they also increased their efforts to hunt "rats" again.

All these actions are sending a message to the inner government that Ashina Isshin is dying, and Ashina is doing his best to cover up the matter.

Of course, after receiving such information, the inner government would not be able to resist conducting reconnaissance.

So, taking advantage of the darkness, a large number of inner ninjas, such as Guyingzhong and Chibei Ranbo, were sent out, and even a Chibei team followed closely behind.

Whether they are ninjas or red soldiers, their mission is to sneak into Ashina Castle and find out whether Ashina Isshin is dead or alive.

And this plays into the intentions of Li You and Xian Yilang.

In the game, there are generally two ways for ninjas to sneak in, namely Otemon and White Snake Shrine.

But no matter which way you go to sneak in, you have to pass through the city and pass the Tiger's Mouth Stairs.

And the current ladder to the tiger's mouth is completely like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to the inner ninjas.

Even if there are two samurai generals and their troops stationed inside the Hukou Ladder Pass at all times, Li You also specially placed a small half of the Snake Eyes clan here, including the clan leader Bai Qiu himself.

Bai Qiu seems to be much younger than Bai Teng, so he seems to be more impulsive.But because of this, she is also stubborn and will never change what she is determined to do. Now she really follows Li Youyan's advice.

So Li You sent her to garrison here.

The Snake Eyes tribe led by Bai Qiu, with their eyes that could see through all hidden movements, made the inner ninjas who tried to sneak in miserable.

The Lone Shadows and Luanbo were beaten while hiding in the bushes, beaten while squatting behind piles of rubble, beaten while hanging on the edge of a cliff, and were beaten by bullets until they doubted their lives.

And for some reason, Ashina's party actually demolished all the buildings in front of the tiger's mouth stairs to the ground. After getting closer, they couldn't even find a hiding place!

As a result, most of the inner ninjas were blocked from the tiger's mouth stairs.

After arriving at the back, the leader of the Gu Yingzhong was alarmed by the Snake Eyes tribe. He also led a few elites to break through and rush into the tiger's mouth ladder to kill the Snake Eyes people.

Who would have known that Li You had already arranged for the monks from Mishan Academy to closely guard the Snake Eyes tribe.With the title of Ninja Hunters, they relied on their numerical superiority and coordination from near and far to use cross spears to kill and injure more than half of the Lone Shadows, forcing them to retreat.

Even if Li You hadn't wanted to keep the unknown leader of the Lone Shadows for questioning, he could have sent him away with a long-range shot.

After the long-range forceful killing failed, the commander of the inner government became angry and sent a small group of elite inner government red soldiers to shoot at the Snake Eyes with their firearms.

Among the internal red troops, the most widely used is a long-barreled firecracker that is held by a single person and looks a bit like a grenade launcher or even an RPG.

There is even a real-life prototype of this weapon, called a "stick fire arrow", which consists of a gunpowder-filled launch tube and a fire missile that can fly out and explode.

However, in reality, although this kind of firearm is quite powerful, its accuracy is very problematic.However, when the Chibei Musketeers held it, they could hit it accurately.

This is not surprising. After all, in the world of Sekiro with extraordinary power, it is very reasonable that technical deficiencies can be made up for by the quality of individual soldiers.

The same principle actually applies to the Snake Eyes clan. The most common clan member of the Snake Eyes clan uses a single-barreled fire door gun with a short blade tied to the front end. The technology is even more backward than the stick fire arrow. It should have nothing to do with accuracy. But in their hands, it can have an effect close to that of a sniper rifle.

As for the shotgun Snake Eyes, Iron Cannon Snake Eyes, and even the two clan leaders Bai Teng and Bai Qiu, their shooting skills needless to say...

I remember that when Li You was pioneering Sekiro, he was beaten by the Snake Eyes clan members in the Iron Cannon Fortress until he doubted his life. I believe there must be many friends who have had similar experiences.

So now, after moving the Snake Eyes tribe to the Tiger's Mouth Stairs and creating the most suitable combat environment for them, it is now the turn of the inner government to taste the power of the Snake Eyes Iron Cannon.

……

"emission!"

"boom--!!"

Under Bai Qiu's order, the Snake Eyes clan members fired in unison, and the hot metal projectiles streaked across the night sky with a bright trajectory, flying towards the Red Army team.

Although these team members were all strong men with high levels of strength, such dense barrage still forced them to retreat behind a broken wall to avoid the attack.

As for counterattack, they never thought about it.

The stick fire arrows they used were similar to grenades, and they had obvious parabolas after being shot. From their position, which was obviously far lower than the enemy, it was destined to be impossible to hit.

Moreover, the shooting point occupied by the Snake Eyes tribe was planned by Li You himself and asked by Yuzi to build it.

It's easy to say, Li You asked Youzi to use the waste materials obtained from demolishing the building to strengthen the gate tower of Hukou Stairs.

In addition to reinforcing the gate, Yuzi also transformed the hole-in-the-hole second floor, as well as the small building that you have to turn back from the Headless side in the game, into high-protection firepower points.

Snake Eyes are behind these positions, safely outputting.

Coupled with the condescending terrain advantage, it is completely in an invincible position.

"Tiger cannon ready-!"

Following Bai Qiu's order again, the two iron cannon Snake Eyes squatted down, raised the barrels in their hands, ignited the gunpowder, and fired the explosive projectiles in the barrels.

"boom--!!"

The two projectiles drew a dazzling parabola in the air, and then fell towards the Red Army Musketeers at the end of the tiger's mouth staircase!

"Get out of the way——!!"

Following the shouts of the leader, the Chibei Musketeers dispersed one after another and evaded each other, finally not being affected by the explosion.

But in order to avoid the bombardment, they had to withdraw from the remaining broken wall, so other Snake Eyes people seized the opportunity and concentrated fire on them!
"boom--!!"

Under the concentrated fire of more than a dozen Snake Eyes clan members, this group of red soldiers armed with advanced firearms were beaten to pieces before they had time to show their power, and only a few managed to escape.

Another defeat finally made Commander Chibei understand that a strong attack was impossible.

Ashina came prepared this time.

Commander Chibei, who was wearing a red armor, had a sullen face. After giving the order to postpone the attack and be on guard, he returned to the rear, where they occupied a relatively complete watchtower.

Here, the leader of the Lone Shadows, Gunzu Masachō, and the tall white-haired ninja were waiting for him.

He looked at the two intelligence officers and asked rudely: "What's going on? Doesn't it mean that Ashina's military equipment is empty, the personnel are insufficient, and there is not much resistance at all? How can this tiger's mouth staircase be so heavily guarded? "

Zhengchang also looked at the white-haired owl, who frowned and looked at the tiger's mouth stairs in the distance through the window and said:

"Judging from Ashina's original situation, they really shouldn't have much resistance. Those who use muskets over there are not Ashina, but the Snake Eyes clan living in the Iron Cannon Fortress."

"It's just that they had nothing to do with Ashina originally, but for some reason this time, they actually participated in the war..."

Commander Chibei interrupted unceremoniously: "I don't need to listen to reasons! Just tell me, how to solve this problem?"

The owl is silent.

The gunman Azizumasa on the side glanced at him, came out to smooth things over and said: "Abas, there is no need to worry too much. The Tiger's Pass Stairs is so heavily guarded. It is obvious that Ashiteru must have transferred most of his defense forces here to guard the city. It must be empty.”

"Tachizu has successfully sneaked into the city before, and I have also sent a signal for him to reply. I think we will receive his first-hand information soon."

After hearing this, Commander Chibei's expression relaxed a little: "We, Tai Tozu, one of the leaders of the Gu Ying Sect... Okay, let's wait for news about him for the time being."

Masacho nodded: "Don't worry, Tai Tozu will not let us down."

……

Inside Ashina Castle, outside the abandoned dungeon.

Tai Tozu's hands and feet were bound and tied to a wooden frame.A special iron frame was inserted into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue or taking poison.

The interrogators sent by Genichiro are torturing him and asking for information.

But no matter how much the interrogator tried to intimidate and induce him, or how he changed the punishment, Tai Daozu refused to speak.

The surrounding hawks and soldiers both hated and admired him.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the open space. Li You and Xian Yilang came together, and Ai Ji followed them.

Genichiro took one look at the situation at the scene and asked directly: "You still haven't been able to find out anything?"

The hawks who were in charge of the interrogation knelt in front of Genichiro and lowered their heads in shame.

Genichiro glanced at the hanging Tachibashi and snorted coldly: "You're quite brave!"

Li You walked up to him, patted his face and said, "Hey, brother, wake up."

"Can you hear me? Very good. Then listen to my words and take action quickly. Otherwise, if you force me to use the last resort, the scene will be ugly."

Tai Tozu just gave him a cold look without any expression at all.

Having just experienced severe torture, he naturally would not react to Li You's soft persuasion.

Li You sighed.

They say sincerity is a sure-fire skill, but why do I end up being looked at as a fool every time I use it?
It must be the world's fault!

Tai Daozu, the leader of the Lone Shadows, was captured by Wolf and others earlier.

At that time, the wolf was continuing to search for rats in the city, but accidentally discovered the traces of Taishouzu.

He seemed to have noticed that the defense in the abandoned dungeon had increased unprecedentedly recently. Out of curiosity, he tried to sneak into it to investigate.

Fortunately, before he managed to sneak in, he was spotted by the wolf who had been following him.

The wolf rushed directly to fight him. The movement of the two men attracted the guards of the abandoned dungeon, so a samurai general, two Xianfeng Temple bug stick brothers, and a group of Wei Ming soldiers surrounded him.

Even so, it would have been difficult to capture Taidaozu alive, but at this moment, Li You just sent Bai Qiu to Wangyue Tower and planned to stop by for a look.

When he found out that everyone was attacking Tai Tozu, he almost laughed out loud.

I delivered it to my door and returned it!

You are still weird!
So Li You went up and saw a sensory interference bomb. Yellow smoke exploded at his feet. The explosion was so dizzy that Daozu was so dizzy that he obviously wanted to run, but fell to the ground.

Then he was easily captured.

This is also his luck, otherwise if he successfully sneaks in, he can see with his own eyes what the Night Demon's lair looks like.

At this time, Li You also received news from Genichiro that the inner army was moving, so he rushed to Isshin's room, leaving Tachibana to others for interrogation.

Unfortunately, he has refused to speak.

Li You sighed.

In this case, there is no other way.Li You snapped his fingers, and two men wearing the costumes of the Eagles walked out of the abandoned dungeon.

They wear crow tengu masks and feather cloaks, but their bodies are tall and strong, which is in sharp contrast to the ordinary hawks.

Under the strange looks of everyone, the two of them walked towards Tachizu without saying a word, then easily picked up the wooden frame that tied him and walked towards the dungeon.

Li You and Ai Ji followed immediately.

Everyone outside was a little confused, but Genichiro remained silent.

And soon, a shrill scream came from the dungeon, and the sound obviously came from Tai Swordsman.But for everyone, it is impossible to imagine what a ninja who would rather die than surrender could see what could cause him to scream in such sorrow!
Listening to that cry, the dungeon seemed to lead directly to hell!
The Wei Ming soldiers swallowed their saliva, and the two gunners who were originally standing guard at the door subconsciously moved away from the entrance of the dungeon.

Then, Li You walked out with Aiji, but Tai Daozu disappeared.

He said to Genichiro: "I asked for some information... Let's go back and talk."

Xian Yilang nodded and left with Li You without asking any more questions.

The only guards left in the dungeon looked at each other, and their eyes towards the entrance of the dungeon were full of fear.

Returning to the castle tower, Li You took Aiji to Genichiro's combat conference room, where a map of Ashina Castle was placed on the long table.

Li You stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "According to Tai Dao Zu's information, the leader of the Guying clan, the leader of Gun Zu, and Xiao Xiao were hiding here before."

Genichiro looked at it and saw that it was a building in the outer area of ​​the city, so he said: "No one has lived here for a long time. It is not surprising that thieves use it to hide."

Li Youyou: "Now a small group of troops from the inner government have arrived at the outskirts of the city. They should have planned to sneak in secretly, but they didn't expect that we built the Tiger's Mouth Stairs into a fortress, so their whereabouts were exposed."

"What do you think they will do next?"

Genichiro said without thinking: "It's very simple. From time to time, the inner government will send people to try to infiltrate. It's not unprecedented before. If their whereabouts are exposed and it is really impossible to infiltrate, then they will quickly retreat and wait for the next opportunity."

Li You also nodded: "According to Tai Tozu's memory, he also received a summons, asking him to report the situation in the city as soon as possible. If Tai Tozu does not reply for a long time, then this small red army should be evacuated before dawn. , then we will have wasted so much effort.”

Genichiro made a rare joke: "That's not because you have increased the defense strength of the Tiger's Mouth Staircase too much!"

Li You smiled cooperatively, and then said: "Even so, if it is Xiao, he should still be able to find a way to sneak in."

Genichiro's eyes flashed: "Owl... this damn traitor!"

Li You agrees with this. No matter what era, traitors and the leading party are always the most looked down upon.

However, Xiao's collusion with the inner government was beneficial to his plan to lure the snake out of its cave.

So he said: "Judging from Tai Sabozu's memory, Xiao Xiao is not well received by the inner government. The only one who is willing to take his opinion seriously is the leader of Gunzu who is the leader of the Gu Yings, but the leader is actually I also look down on him.”

"A sensitive person like Xiao will definitely be able to detect this, so his cooperation with the inner government also has different motives.

"If Tai Daozu can send back the message, then the inner government will probably send the owl out to sneak into the city to explore the information.

"We can use this opportunity to catch the owl!"

Xiao, a traitor who knows Ashina's people and place extremely well, is really a big threat to Ashina.And he is an excellent ninja. Even if he comes to do his job, it is very troublesome to deal with it.

But on the other hand, if the owl can be captured, then he can also become a useful chess piece.

In addition, this guy Xiao has the highest hatred value among Li You, so in order to deal with him, Li You also prepared multiple plans.

At this moment, the third option can be used.

So Li You looked to his side: "Aiji, please... huh?"

Aggie has been staying by his side, but since he came out of the dungeon, his face has not looked good.

Li You also understood why she was like this. After all, obtaining the information from Tai Daozu was all due to her and the Night Demon Lair.

Li You asked softly: "Are you okay?"

Aiji shook his head and said: "...I'm fine. As I said before, this is just a necessary means."

"You want to know their secret communication method? I didn't have time just now, so I will go back...to ask."

Li You nodded and said, "Don't force it. It's okay if you don't want to."

Aiji still shook his head: "I'll go over there first. I'll contact you if I have news later."

She then opened the door and left.

Genichiro remained silent until Aggie left, then said: "Now, let's discuss where to lead the owl."

Li You had already planned this.

He pointed again on the map: "How about here?"

Genichiro looked at it and was also stunned: "This...?"

"...It's really a good idea!"

The two looked at each other with a smile on their lips.

What kind of expression the owl will show when the time comes is really exciting.

……

On the other side, inside the dungeon.

Aggie came to the Night Demon's lair and walked among the hatching pools.

After the Night Devil's lair was upgraded once, the simple cave originally used to hatch the Night Devil had also changed.

In addition to an eggshell-like film growing on the ground, a small amount of colorless and transparent liquid gushes out from inside the pit, which seems to be used to provide nutrition to the hatching night demons.

The hatching pit has finally evolved into a hatching pool, although it is for a single person.

At this moment, night demons are gestating in twelve incubation pools, and the embryos inside have already taken a rough shape.

But of course Aijilai wasn't here to look at them.Under the respectful gaze of the hatched night demons, Aggie came to the center of the nest, the core position. On the ground here, there was an oblong hatching pool that looked like a biological dormant chamber.

Through the translucent film, the person sleeping inside can also be seen.

——Guyingzhong Taisaozu.

He was immersed in the colorless liquid, and the sticky spider-like umbilical cord that gave birth to the Night Demon embryo was connected to his body and was constantly transforming his body.

How to pry open the mouth of a ninja who would rather die than surrender and who is indifferent to torture?
The most fundamental way is to directly invade his brain.

Li You used the newly added night demon transformation function in the night devil's lair, threw Tai Daozu into the transformation pool, and forced him to start transforming into the night devil.

It was also because of this that Aggie was able to extract key information from his brain.

This is also why Aggie feels uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she has basically overcome the psychological shadow of the past, so she won't be too resistant.

Of course, the most important thing is Li You's promise that just to torture the intelligence in this way, he does not need to really transform Tachibana into a night demon.

Once he asks for information, he will send Tachizu on his way to end his suffering.

Now, as long as the information about the special communication method of the leader of the Lone Shadows can be found from Tai Daozu's mind, he can be sent away.

Ai Ji shook his head, eliminated distracting thoughts from his mind, closed his eyes, and began to use the ability of spiritual link to communicate with Tai Daozu's heart.

Time was limited just now, so she only looked at Tadouzu's recent and important memories, but now she wanted to find out the secret communication method they used internally, and Aggie had to search for deeper memories in his mind.

Originally, Aggie was not interested in other messy memories, but when a fragment of memory filled with flames flashed across her eyes, she was stunned, and then clicked on that memory.

Then, her entire body in reality could not help but tremble.

After a while, Li You returned to the dungeon to check the situation.

He was mainly worried about Aggie.

"Aggie, how are you... hmm?"

Li You saw Aiji sitting behind the core of the lair with his head down, saying nothing.

However, Guying and Tai Daozu are still soaking in the transformation pool.

Li You came to her side: "...Aiji? What's wrong?"

Ai Ji looked up at him, and Li You found that two lines of dark tears were sliding down her face.

When he asked, he found out that when Aiji was searching for Tai Tozu's memory, he saw scenes from his past... when he was performing a mission.

Because the memory was read directly, the cruel scene made Ai Ji feel the same.She saw warriors desperately resisting in a mansion, servants and maids fleeing in all directions, and even crying children.

And these people were eventually pushed into the sea of ​​fire.

This made her think for a moment that maybe this person didn't deserve sympathy at all.

Li You sighed, so it was like this.

He said to Aggie: "So you think, maybe it's better to turn him into a night devil and let him accept punishment?"

Aiji shook his head slightly: "...I don't know either. After seeing his memory and the immersive feeling, I really want him to get retribution. But if I really transform him into a night demon, I will …”

Li You rubbed her hair and said, "Okay, I understand, I didn't think carefully."

He also didn't expect that Aggie's mental link ability would cause such side effects.

However, the impact of watching other people's memories immersed in the scene is indeed quite powerful, so much so that Aggie is still a bit unable to get out of it at this time.

Li You thought for a while and said, "Well, you go back and take a nap first. Let this Tai Daozu soak in it."

Aggie raised his head: "...huh?"

Li Youyou: "The success rate of sensing the Night Demon's transformation is not [-]%. Since you think this guy has done many evil things, then we will throw him here. Whether he lives or dies, it all depends on God's will."

The upgraded lair has a very strange feature. Although the nest hatches night demons slowly, it is very fast to transform the night demons into sentient beings. It only takes an hour in total.

However, this transformation function has a relatively long cooling time. Only one sentient night devil can be transformed at a time, and the probability of success is not fixed and will change according to the characteristics of the mother body.

If there were no such restrictions, then this method would probably be the fastest way to create an army of night demons.

These are system comments, which Aiji doesn’t know.

She looked at Li You, a little dazed: "Is this... are you deceiving yourself?"

Li You smiled: "Indeed, but don't forget, self-deception and double standards are excellent human qualities, as long as you can live well inside."

Ai Ji was a little dumbfounded: "You are really..."

She glanced at Gu Ying Zhong Tai Dao Zu again, thought for a moment, and said, "I seem to have figured it out. Thank you, Li You."

Li You waved his hand: "It's okay, we are all on our own, as we should."

Aggie raised his head, finally returned to his usual appearance, and said, "Okay, let's talk about business."
