Chapter 307 Prometheus

Chang Yue was discharged from the hospital that afternoon, and Li Muhan didn't say much.

Of course he knew that Chang Yue would not lie in bed because of these injuries. All this was just to say those words to him, so he stayed in the hospital waiting for him to wake up.

Of course, Chang Yue's explanation was, "I have to see you wake up before I dare to leave. That vampire is like crazy now. She attacks me as soon as she sees me. The medical department directly banned her from entering. Hehe, so we can enjoy the peace and quiet here."

After saying that, he put on his coat and waved to Li Muchan: "Now that you're awake, I finally don't have to hide from her anymore. Regarding what we just talked about, Li Muchan, remember, don't tell anyone."

After Chang Yue left, Li Muhan wanted to take a nap when he suddenly heard a knock on the window.

He turned his head and saw a girl with disheveled hair looking at him from the window.

"What's up?"

Li Muhan asked, then suddenly realized that this was the inpatient department on the fifth floor! Does that mean this woman is hanging in mid-air?!

"Fuck! Who are you?!"

Li Muhan was startled and couldn't help but scream, but unexpectedly, the sound scared the girl so much that she shrank her head.

"...Li, Captain Li, yes, it's me..."

The girl only showed half of her head and looked at Li Muhan timidly from outside the window.

Li Muhan carefully examined the gloomy-looking girl who looked a bit like Sadako, and then suddenly realized: "Oh! You are... that... Gao girl?"

The girl outside the window nodded slightly: "Yes... By the way, you don't know my name yet, my name is Ishii Chikako, and I currently work as a clerical worker in the Personnel Department..."

"How do you choose a Japanese name?"

As soon as Li Muhan said this, he remembered that Gao Nu seemed to be a monster in the Fuso One Hundred Demons Night Parade Record.

"No, why are you outside the window?"

Li Muhan knew how strange the tall girl's posture was without even walking over. She was standing on the first floor with her neck stretched out so that she could reach his window.

Although she looks quite cute, this posture is really traumatic for people, and this is a hospital...not to mention how scary it is.

But Li Muhan forgot that this was the hospital of the Special Management Bureau. These medical staff and patients had seen all kinds of monsters and demons and were no longer surprised.

"It was Miss Xia who asked me to see if you were awake."

The tall girl, also known as Qianxiang, glanced down slightly, and the meaning was very clear: Xia Yue was downstairs now.

Wow, the hospital really banned Xia Yue from entering.

After thanking Ms. Gao, Li Muhan also sat up. His injuries had almost recovered under the dual influence of Hypnos and Baal's power, but he was not as abnormal as Chang Yue, who could remove the plaster and bandages with his bare hands.

With the help of the doctor, Li Muhan removed the bandages and plaster from his body. When he was about to leave, the nurse at the door counter called Li Muhan: "Captain Li, we meet again~"

"hehe......"

Li Muhan was speechless. He really didn’t want to meet her.

"Hey, this is medical bill. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"

The young nurse took out the receipt and handed it to Li Muhan.

"Is there...a mistake? When they were removing my stitches just now, the doctor said Xia Yue had already paid for my medical expenses."

Li Muhan took the receipt and as soon as he saw the patient's name, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted again.

"Director Chang said your girlfriend beat him up, so you have to pay for the medical expenses~"

“…”

Facing the innocent smile of the young nurse, Li Muhan's mouth twitched a few times, and then he took out his bank card: "Swipe the card..."

After paying the bill, he turned to leave, then seemed to remember something. He walked back to the counter and said to the nurse, "...Well, please...get me an annual pass."

......

In the secret meeting room on the second underground floor of the Special Management Bureau, Chang Yue did not invite Lin Ze to the video conference with Lu Shan this time.

The entire space was immersed in a depressing silence at this moment. The only light came from the faint fluorescence of the screen, which was intertwined with the smoke from Chang Yue's cigarette, creating a tense and mysterious atmosphere.

"Chang Yue, I need a clear answer." Lu Shan's voice came through the screen, cold and hard as ice. His eyes pierced Chang Yue on the screen, as if to penetrate the virtual boundaries.

In the past 48 hours, Chang Yue had been avoiding Lu Shan's questioning, but today, he chose to take the initiative and proposed this secret conversation.

"Don't worry, it's done."

Chang Yue took a deep breath of cigarette, let the smoke stay in his lungs for a moment, and then slowly exhaled towards the screen, as if conveying his determination in this way.

"I've already dealt with it, Lu Shan. That young man knew nothing about Tartarus, but his friend Qi Su did have some tricks up his sleeve. He not only successfully hacked into Moriarty's system, but also discovered that their target might be Prometheus."

When "Prometheus" was mentioned, Lu Shan's brows twisted into a knot.

"The level of secrecy on that project is almost unmatched. How did Moriarty obtain this information?"

His words were full of doubt and uneasiness, as if he had a premonition that a greater crisis was approaching.

Chang Yue scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Hey, our Tianhai City Special Management Bureau was hacked before."

Hearing Chang Yue's words, Lu Shan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "What did you say!? Is your network engineering department full of shit?!"

"Old Man Lu, you can't blame the Network Engineering Department for this. Moriarty fused with a Tai Sui, and this Tai Sui used a method we're unaware of to become a digital lifeform and devour the Word Spirit. This isn't something you can prevent with just a few lines of code."

"Alright! Stop trying to quibble! Prometheus isn't just a project of the Chinese Special Management Bureau! It involves the Special Management Bureaus of seventy-eight countries around the world! Do you understand the seriousness of this?!"

"I know, I know." Chang Yue impatiently scratched his ear with his little finger, and then said to Lu Shan, "I just came back from a business trip for Prometheus. Three months later, in May, Prometheus will conduct its third opening test. If Moriarty really wants to invade Prometheus, then this opening test will be his best chance."

Lu Shan pondered for a moment and then said, "Do you want to go there in person?"

Chang Yue smiled and shook his head: "Why should I go? I can't deal with that kind of electronic pet. Let Li Muhan go. He is the most suitable candidate."

"Chang Yue! Are you fucking crazy!?"

Lu Shan was furious. He slammed the table, and the video screen trembled. "You let a kid who has only been in the Special Management Bureau for less than half a year participate in the Prometheus Project? And he's a demon?!"

"He's not a demon."

Chang Yue corrected.

"At least not yet."
