Chapter 626: 626
As a cautious person, Ling Lan didn't go near the bead .
"Little Four, what is that?"
She had no qualms about calling Little Four out whenever she liked . She had went passed the period of feeling guilty for using child labor . After all, she had been looking after him for over 20 years now . Her kindness had disappeared under the guidance of Number Five . Ling Lan was not a good person anymore . Of course, she was not an evil person too .
The more powerful Ling Lan became, the more information Little Four could gather . Hence, Little Four didn't need signals to read data anymore .
"Huh? That is a miniature optical supercomputer . It was made using the same materials as your communicator . It is a communication bead . " Little Four did some simple research and managed to find out what the bead was .
Ling Lan looked down at her wrist instinctively . There was nothing on it . Her communicator had been sent back to the headquarters of the 23rd Division to facilitate their mission .
However, Ling Lan's communicator was an upgraded one . Her first communicator was destroyed after she first used her domain power . She knew that she would be questioned if she went to collect a new one herself so she looked for her father for help .
To protect his daughter, Ling Xiao took much effort to settle this matter for her . He used his status and power to get a new communicator for his daughter . Of course, this communicator was not so simple too .
The Federation would only give new communicators to formidable warriors who managed to achieve the domain realm . These communicators were able to withstand the energy released by domain masters . It can also changed its form according to its owner's element .
After Ling Lan tried out her new communicator, she was stunned . She felt that she had jumped from a technologically advanced world to a magical world . Only domain warriors could use this communicator . This was why the Federation had the information of all domain realm masters and would only distribute to those who were qualified to be called formidable warriors .
To get this communicator and not become an illegal immigrant, no formidable warriors would conceal themselves as this device represented honor and a certain status . It was a good thing to them .
Also, if they didn't register, they would be unable to get the new communicator . Without it, they wouldn't be able to fully use their domain power . If they did, their old communicator would break apart . Then, they would be questioned when they would apply for a new one so it was almost impossible for them to hide themselves . Ling Lan could conceal herself because she had an amazing father .
When Ling Lan knew about the communicator, she was curious about the materials used .
Ling Lan knew that assassins would not bring any communication device on them when they went on a mission as it would increase the risk of exposing their identity .
Ling Lan also suspected that the face which her opponent had might also be fake . The Federation had an agent which could temporarily change the appearance of a person . Its effects only lasted for a day but it was enough to carry out short missions .
However, no one knew what they would change into after consuming the agent . It was random . Hence, people with long missions couldn't use this agent .
The communicator that Ling Lan had on her now contained her fake identity . It was just a normal communicator so when they went out today, they left it in their room in case it would be broken in a fight .
"I have decoded it . Soul Society, Sky Rank Assassin number 37 . Nickname: Demon Fire… I can even login into the main page of Soul Society . Wow, there are all kinds of mission on their main page . . I found it . Mission: Kill Princess Guliba . S level mission . Remarks: A domain master is protecting the princess . The level has increased from A+ to an S . The reward would also be doubled . "
The information that Little Four found appeared in Ling Lan's mindscape . Ling Lan looked at the blood red words in the remarks section . She frowned .
The Soul Society was the most famous assassin society in the human world . Their assassins comprised of two groups . One group of the assassins were raised within the society when they were young . Another group of them underwent many challenges and tests and to become temporary assassins . The temporary assassins were just bounty hunters who wanted to earn some extra income .
The Soul Society was so famous, everyone in the Federation heard about it . The society seemed to be exposed to the public but in actual fact, no countries were able to destroy the power that Soul Society had planted in their nation . No one knew where their headquarters were and who worked for them . They didn't know who the assassins were too .
The Soul Society never gave missions face to face or through a third party . You needed a secret communicator to contact these people .
Even if they had the communication bead, they could only see the main page of the Soul Society . They could apply for a mission to be added on the main page and the staff members of Soul Society would gauge the difficulty level of the mission and the rewards for it . The rewards had to be sent to a designated account given by the Soul Society within three days . After that, Soul Society would upload the mission .
All communications were carried out using the communication bead so no information could be leaked . Many countries had tried using hackers to hack into the Soul Society's mainframe but Soul Society had its own hackers too . In the end, both parties suffered great losses . The countries didn't dare to do anything to the Soul Society anymore and let them run by themselves . After all, the Soul Society only wanted to target the assassin industry and had no intention of overtaking any countries .
Thus, Ling Lan knew that the situation was bad for them . They could escape the assassination this time but there would be more powerful opponents sent to kill the princess the next time . The longer they dragged, the worse it would get .
"Boss, the Soul Society's rules are weird . Once a domain realm assassin took on a mission, no other domain masters can interfere with the mission unless it was confirmed that the domain realm assassin failed or requires help . " Little Four read out the rules for Ling Lan .
"How long will it take for them to ascertain that Demon Fire is dead?" Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief secretly . If only one domain assassin came one at a time, she could still handle it .
"When the spiritual power on the nameplate of Demon Fire disappear, Soul Society will declare Demon Fire as dead," Little Four replied .
Ling Lan asked in surprise, "Can a person's spiritual power still linger after they die?"
"Of course . When you died in your past life, your spiritual power still remained for some time, right?" Little Four looked at Ling Lan with disdain . "You thought that you were a ghost that time . I was the one who kept your spiritual power, passed it through the time crack, and gave you the opportunity to be reborn as your father's child . " Little Four looked up proudly . Hurry up and praise me .
Ling Lan touched her head . She said in a helpless tone, "Yes, Little Four is the best . "
