Chapter 73: Outsiders in the Magic City

The battle on the internet had already ended. Lingyun let out a light breath, restored the desktop to its original state, and then closed the laptop.

As for the aftermath of this cyber offensive and defensive war, or what actions the Youlong Base and their superiors would take after receiving that list, these were not things Lingyun needed to concern himself with.

Walking out of his dormitory, Lingyun looked up at the sky. Tonight, the moon in the sky was completely obscured by dark clouds; on a dark and windy night, bad things always happen.

Lingyun rubbed his stomach and headed toward the outside of Modu University. Having been online for so long, he had not yet eaten.

Around Modu University, there were quite a few street food stalls; these places were where students of Modu University liked to come to improve their meals. Although Lingyun had only been in this place for a few days, the enthusiastic students of Modu University had already explained to him clearly which shop nearby had cheap food and which had delicious food, though this was thanks to Chen Jing. No one expected that Chen Jing, having only arrived at Modu University a few days ago, had already accumulated a small group of fans based on her own strength and charm.

"This time, it really is thanks to that little girl Chen Jing." Lingyun sat down in front of a street food stall; although the dinner rush had passed, it was still full of people.

This street food stall was told to Chen Jing by a Modu University student. It was said that the owner had been running the shop here for decades and was the most popular street food stall among Modu University students; it was not only affordable and delicious but also clean and tidy.

After ordering a few small dishes and two large bowls of rice, Lingyun's gaze fell upon a very handsome foreign man. Although seeing foreigners around Modu University was not a special occurrence—after all, there were quite a few foreign exchange students at Modu University—Lingyun noticed that there was a not-so-weak power circling within the man's body. This power was different from the Inner Strength on Chen Jing, tending instead toward a cold, yin nature, with a feeling somewhat like Taiyin Power. Its intensity was roughly equivalent to a Martial Artist who had just entered the Mysterious Tier.

"This guy should be a Vampire." Lingyun sized the man up. "However, looking at his appearance, he seems to be injured."

In front of the Vampire man were several dishes; he looked as if he were eating, but his gaze was constantly scanning the crowd, as if looking for something. Before long, the Vampire man's eyes lit up, as if he had found something good.

Lingyun followed his gaze. The direction the Vampire was looking was at a very cute girl who was also a member of this Huaxia University exchange and study team. This girl had a quite good relationship with him and Chen Jing; now that someone was eyeing her with ill intent, he naturally would not stand idly by.

Watching that girl, the Vampire quietly licked his lips, sharp teeth appearing at the corners of his mouth, and the cold, yin power in his body stirred. However, he suppressed his power well; after all, this place was the mysterious land of Huaxia, and the eyes of the Huaxia Dragon Group were already aimed at this place. If he attracted their attention, what awaited him would absolutely be a devastating blow. Thinking of this, Laolun could not help but start cursing that group of damn Holy See knights; if they hadn't ambushed him, he wouldn't have had to come out at this time to look for blood to treat his injuries.

"Targeted, huh? Right, I remember that Vampires can treat their injuries and recover their strength by consuming fresh blood." If Lingyun's Divine Sense had not already locked onto this Vampire, he might not have discovered his little movements. "However, since you've targeted my classmate, your action this time will ultimately end in failure."

Lingyun directly placed a Divine Sense Mark on that girl; if the Vampire approached her, this Divine Sense Mark would alert Lingyun.

"It seems the previous divination was not wrong; this period of time really is an eventful autumn." Lingyun sighed inwardly.

Within the range of Lingyun's Divine Sense, there were several other existences with quite formidable strength, but they had all hidden their auras so that others could not detect their abnormality. However, all of this was inescapable under Lingyun's Divine Sense.

"Vampire, Holy See knight, Werewolf, Esper, Ninja, Martial Artist..." Lingyun's Divine Sense scanned each person one by one. These people varied in strength; the weakest was at Yellow Rank Mid-Stage, and the strongest had already reached Mysterious Tier Peak.

"Could it be that it was drawn out by that Insight Crystal of mine from before? But these people are truly bold, actually daring to sneak into this big city so obviously. No, the surveillance system of Modu had already been hacked before, making it impossible to capture information about their infiltration. So that was the idea behind this cyber attack." Lingyun understood why this overseas cyber attack had come so suddenly.

Although he knew that overseas powerhouses had secretly infiltrated Modu, Lingyun did not have the slightest worry. After all, Huaxia, as a dignified thousand-year-old nation, could not possibly have no defenses; the Martial Artist he sensed earlier was the best evidence. This Martial Artist was the strongest among all the people he had sensed. Dealing with such matters of foreign invaders should be left to the Huaxia Dragon Group; he didn't want to get involved in such troublesome things.

The Mysterious Tier Martial Artist sensed by Lingyun was precisely the owner of this street food stall. The reason this owner started running a street food stall here was to guard Modu University and prevent people with unknown backgrounds from causing trouble, but now he had found a new use. At this moment, the owner was using a special earpiece to communicate with someone else.

"Rabbit, Rabbit, this is Groundhog, I have a situation to report."

"This is Rabbit, please report the situation."

"Tonight, quite a few foreigners of unknown origin have appeared in this vicinity; please be alert."

"Rabbit received, please continue to observe carefully, Groundhog."

In the Youlong Base, a group of people were busy working. Standing beside them was a person, who was precisely Number Two from the National Security Bureau at the time.

"How is it? Can these surveillance videos be restored?"

"The difficulty is very high, but we will try our best, though don't hold too much hope. The other party acted too decisively, and the files were shredded very thoroughly; it is estimated that only a portion can be restored." Shouzi shook his head.

"Regardless, we must try our best; it would be good to get even a portion of the data." Number Two also sighed helplessly.

At the street food stall, that cute girl had finished her dinner and was packing up to leave.

While that girl was packing her things, Laolun also stood up and instructed the waiter to settle his bill.

Watching the two leave one after the other, Lingyun also rose leisurely. If this Vampire really dared to make a move on his classmate, he wouldn't mind sending him down to meet Satan, although whether Satan exists in this world is still an unknown.
