Chapter 1236: A Diversion Against the Diversion

"Jin?" The agents who rushed to the second level of a carpark drifted their car as if they were in some racing competition and came to a halt when they were close to him.

"That's rather cool. I honestly thought I would get hit." Jin said as the agents unlocked the door to allow him to get in.

"You too, for not moving even though we are this close to you. Please get your seatbelts on and we will be on our way." The agents said as he reversed a little before accelerating down the ramp or the car park. One would wonder if the agents did it as a test to see how Jin would react or if it was an accidental act. Either way, Jin did not mind as he buried his face into his phone.

There were other agents with him as well but they had their eyes peeled through the windows and their hands on the trigger to make sure that they were ready for any external threats. In the meantime, Jin was pretending to communicate to the Demon Exorcists via his phone by texting but in reality, he was sending them telepathy instructions.

"Anything I can do?" Yu Xuan queried and the others agreed he should do what he does best.

"I know it sounds stupid but right now, I think the one who is in danger is you, not us." Rong was the one who smacked the truth right in front of Yu Xuan's face. "Without Chi, you are a person with martial arts skills and against those terrorist cultivators, it might be too much of a risk."

"I am a State Agent. If I cannot handle it, I do not deserve to carry this badge." Yu Xuan felt a little offended but continued his best to keep his cool.

"We are not saying you cannot do anything but I believe it is better if you assist us from the shadows. Stay hidden and do not let the other terrorists find you." Su Zhen tried to salvage the mess Rong brought them. "Besides, you did casually remark that your name is officially not in the list. All the more, assisting us in the shadows would be a better choice."

Yu Xuan felt slightly embarrassed that he got to be schooled by teenagers many years younger than his age but they did make a point. He quietly accepted the fact that in this situation, he was the one that was at the disadvantage and if being in the crowd and allowing him to blend in would serve as an additional trick against the terrorist, it would definitely be more than welcome.

So as the Demon Exorcists made their flashy way to the Hall where all the servers and other technical hardware would be kept, they noticed that there was a tight layer of security preventing people from going near it. Despite the crowd's anxiety after the mysterious explosion, the security at the technical hall got even more stringent, as if to not let people from passing through and stealing any equipment.

Some of the dungeon suppliers who were in the midst of the crowd, demanded that they wanted their equipment back or at least have access to the servers because of their precious data but the security was not letting anyone through regardless of clearance.

But even though it was that strict of a rule, Lein was suspicious and requested the System and Kong Rong if it was possible to have a list of employed security. Kong Rong only needed to make a phone call and the list was instantly uploaded to the System which then transmitted the information to the Demon Exorcists' phones.

Su Zhen gave a quick look and immediately recognised that that particular layer of security was fake. "Wow, that was fast even without any chi usage." Lian commented and Su Zhen accidentally snorted as if to signify her delight in the acknowledgment of her analytical abilities. Aye, her high grades and studious demeanour came from the ability to remember things she once saw. Photographic memory at its very best. Unlike Jin whose cognitive abilities were enhanced by the System and his cultivation, Su Zhen's photographic memory was a natural talent which people nearly called her a freak for being able to remember as such. That downfall forced her to learn that it's sometimes best to act unless the situation demands for it.

However, the current group that she was with knew her well enough that she did not have to hide from them. Especially with situations like this, allowed her to showcase how terrifying her memory was and to identify whether they were within the list of employed security.

"Wow. All of them?" Rong needed to know whether Su Zhen had made some mistake.

"You can either trust me or take an hour figuring out whether they are not." Su Zhen said as she looked towards Lein, hoping that he could make a plan out.

"Boss, what do we need to find once we are inside the server room? We are not IT savvy enough to tell the difference."

"Do what you do best. Destroy everything. But if the theory of it being a Dungeon Instance holds true, it is very likely that they have the entire hall 'refurbished' as part of the new dungeon instance and the servers you find might be fake. At that point, the terrorist might potentially be alerted and you guys are on your own."

"Then? Any way to break out of that portion of the dungeon instance?" Rong asked and sadly, Jin said no. "If that's the case, why do you want us to hit the server rooms?"

"Because, it means that someone has figured out their trick and they will try their best to silence you. That would mean those terrorists would come after you and perhaps by beating them up, you might find some evidence. On the flipside, your internal commotion would allow me to do my magic with less of a hindrance."

"You mean, if you are expecting resistance even from outside the dungeon instance?" Lian questioned.

"They surely have eyes outside to make sure that we are unable to interfere. Else, if we can break this intricate illusion from the outside, whatever they are planning is for naught." Jin replied as he could see that the car was coming through the multiple barricades of police hovering outside the Convention Centre.
