Chapter 3201: Accomplices, Struggle

~7 min read 1,355 words

Poson took a pseudonym for himself called "Samu" and then ceased speaking, but Yisiluoda still had some important information to convey—

"When you arrive at the Midian later, you will receive the equipment for this operation, including the cloak you are wearing right now. Didn't you notice? The true purpose of this cloak is actually the avoidance of detection, not to keep you cool."

"Remember, from now on, until the operation ends and you return to the Midian to change into a new cloak, do not take off this cloak at any time or in any situation."

"Besides the cloak, there is one more piece of equipment you must pay extra attention to. Later, when you arrive at the Midian, you will receive a Projection Ring. The operation route and details will be displayed to you in the form of a projection. You must act strictly according to the mission's indications."

"These two are the most important. The rest are nothing more than some combat equipment. When acting, use the equipment provided by the Midian as much as possible. Unless you have never used your own equipment before, it is best not to use it."

"If you absolutely must use it, remember to leave the equipment at the Midian after the operation ends. Otherwise, if you are tracked by the Alliance, don't blame me for not warning you!"

After Yisiluoda finished speaking, he stared straight at Poson. Poson felt that gaze, which was as if it were substantial, and hurriedly replied, "I have remembered."

"Good that you remember. There is nothing else. Do you have anything you want to ask?"

"I—"

Poson was just about to say there was nothing, but a new thought suddenly emerged in his subconscious, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and asked, "Our goal is to destroy the factory, right?"

"Yes, what about it?" Yisiluoda's tone carried a trace of impatience.

But Poson still persisted and continued to ask, "Then the Commoner technicians in the factory should not be within the scope of our attack, right? We don't have to kill them, do we?"

Hearing such a question, a look of understanding flashed in Yisiluoda's eyes, and then he answered somewhat perfunctorily, "Of course, the primary goal is to destroy the factory. As long as this purpose can be achieved, I don't care if you don't kill a single Commoner."

"But if they block you from destroying the factory, you should also be able to take action. You must know that they are all accomplices helping the Alliance persecute our Demon Descendant brethren!"

"I—understand. If they block me, I will not be soft-hearted!" Poson promised, as if he were also trying to persuade the hesitation in his own heart.

According to the Illuminati's claims, the factory they were going to attack this time was used to produce Demon Descendant detection equipment, including blood checks and—thought checks, which were actually Computing Power Pools.

In Yisiluoda's description, the Computing Power Pool was actually the Alliance's greatest malice toward Demon Descendants, because most Demon Descendants had good talent and would almost one hundred percent be required to connect to the Computing Power Pool, and then their thoughts would be checked.

The reason it was called "being required to connect" was that a wave of using shared Computing Power Pools had already formed in the Northland, and not using them had instead become heresy.

Some time ago, news spread from the Alliance that the Computing Power Pool had been invaded, and the Illuminati internal circles that Poson knew of even clapped and cheered!

In Yisiluoda's words, if destroying those Alliance factories could allow Demon Descendant brethren to breathe a sigh of relief when facing tense thought checks, then it was worth it.

With the current consumption rate of Computing Pool Connectors, as long as those factories producing connectors were continuously struck, the Computing Power Pool would sooner or later be unable to be maintained.

Only then would the Demon Descendant brethren be truly liberated.

"Although the Alliance nominally acknowledges the existence of Demon Descendants, have you ever seen any Demon Descendant dare to go out on the street until now? Have you ever seen any Demon Descendant dare to appear in public? This is what the Alliance calls acknowledgement!"

Poson instinctively felt that such a conclusion by Yisiluoda was somewhat inappropriate, but he could not say exactly where it was inappropriate. After all, what he had seen with his own eyes in Terminos was exactly what Yisiluoda had said—

He had indeed never seen a Demon Descendant in any public occasion, and he didn't even know who the local Demon Descendants were, but it was certain that in the previous comprehensive testing, Terminos had detected Demon Descendants.

Where were those Demon Descendants now?

Were they living under new identities under the protection of the Alliance, or had they already been secretly eliminated? Poson dared not think, and even less dared to inquire.

If one were to ask which country in the Northland had the most extreme attitude toward Demon Descendants, it would undoubtedly be Siluwende. It could be said that the Demon Descendants were the fuse for Yierlan being occupied by Yierlan and then becoming independent from Siluwende.

Even though many Sluwende Elves knew that Demon Descendants were also victims at the beginning, they were still very hostile toward Demon Descendants now.

Of course, this did not include Poson. His vision had already transcended Siluwende and seen the entire Demon Descendant group in the Northland; this was a group that had long been in a state of persecution.

It was also out of sympathy for the Demon Descendants that Poson had trusted Yisiluoda, but now he discovered that Yisiluoda and the Illuminati behind him were not as they had initially appeared.

Not all Demon Descendants were members of the Illuminati, and the Illuminati could not represent the Demon Descendant group.

He felt more and more that the Illuminati was just using the Demon Descendants, and even using the sympathy of clear-headed ordinary Elves like him for the Demon Descendants, to achieve certain goals that were actually harmful to the Demon Descendants.

Thinking this way, a thought emerged again in Poson's subconscious: since the Illuminati was not as it had initially appeared, did this operation to attack the Alliance factory also have hidden circumstances?

If those factories were not accomplices helping the Alliance persecute the Demon Descendants, but were actually truly helping the Demon Descendants, then what would his subsequent attack be?

For a time, Poson's heart fell into extreme struggle.

But time would not allow him to think too much. Soon, two Illuminati members who called themselves "Yangyan" and "Binghen" arrived at the safe house one after another.

Like Poson, they were wrapped in light gray cloaks. Looking from their hoods, one could only see a face obscured by mist that appeared very hazy, and even their voices had a certain degree of distortion.

Poson pondered the true identities of these two companions, while Yisiluoda had already successfully activated the Portal and verified the relevant Permission Level, then quickly greeted the three cloaked figures:

"Hurry up, follow me! The Portal only lasts for three seconds!"

Having already reached this step, Poson could only follow quickly. The only thing worth rejoicing about now was that he had already confirmed with Yisiluoda that as long as the target factory could be destroyed, the Commoners inside were not necessary targets to be killed.

If there had been no such confirmation, Poson would still have chosen to continue participating in the operation, but during the operation, there would be no need to listen to the mission indications of the Projection Ring.

……

On the other side of the Portal, inside the Midian.

As soon as Poson came over, he consciously examined the surrounding environment. Unlike the Morning Light Secret Hall that was built on the ground before, the Midian he had arrived at now was, without surprise, likely underground.

But before he could see the surrounding environment clearly, Yisiluoda's life-urging roar came to his ears—

"Quick! Follow me to get the equipment, don't dawdle, we are leaving soon!"
