167 The Traitor

◎ Pollutants! ◎

The entire cleaning center was in an uproar. All employees received the same message, and the abnormal incident investigation team decided to investigate the entire center.

Everyone in the Cleaning Center forum was watching the show.

"What's going on? Are you trying to catch the traitor?"

"I don't know. There was an explosion at the center's logistics department yesterday. I heard six people died."

"What do you mean six dead? Two, don't cause panic."

"How terrifying! I've never dealt with the Abnormal Events Team before. I heard Team Leader Huo is particularly scary. I wonder if she's going to pee her eyes out from fear?"

"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Do you have ghosts?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

Someone responded and started fighting. Suddenly, someone asked, "Do you think there is a problem with our senior management?"

"It's terrifying when you think about it."

There is a whole row of replies below that are really scary when you think about it.

Xie Jiazu, Xuan Qing and Lu Qiqin were sitting in the conference room. They had also received the news, but had not received any specific notification.

Huo Wenxi's ability is conditional. Even if she checked everyone one by one, it would take more than a whole day for all the employees in the cleaning center to check.

Xuan Qing was drinking tea. "Huo Wenxi is getting more and more outrageous. With such a big event like this, if she can't produce a convincing report this time, she'll probably have to step down."

They are all from the same organization, and everyone knows how deep the water is here. Huo Wenxi has no way back now. If he can't find any traitors or suspicious points, this youngest investigation team leader in history can get out overnight.

Lu Qiqin was dissatisfied: "What's going on? Treating us as suspects? Even the top management is being investigated. Who does she think she is?"

Xuan Qing: "I'd like to see what information she can find."

Lu Qiqin tapped his hand on the table. "It all has to do with Zhu Ning. Since she arrived, our entire center has been in trouble."

Lu Qiqin: "On her first day on the job, her first mission, our technical department made a major mistake. The Mechanical Oceanarium was like a demon hunter, and the operations department didn't know where to put their face."

Lu Qiqin looked at Xuan Qing when he said this, "Weren't you still suspicious of her at that time?"

In the end, Xuan Qing stopped making things difficult for Zhu Ning on the surface, but he was probably still keeping an eye on her movements in private.

Xuan Qing: "I suspected she was the person Yongsheng Pharmaceutical was looking for."

Lu Qiqin: "Look, first it was the Technical Department, then the Operations Department, and now Zhu Ning is ostensibly in the Cleanup Department, but in reality he's in the Abnormal Events Team."

Lu Qiqin shook his head as he spoke, "Tsk tsk tsk, this person is not simple. I think she is the biggest traitor. If we arrest her and try her again, I guess there won't be so many problems."

Xuan Qing didn't respond to his words, and asked Xie Jiazu instead: "What does Minister Xie think of her?"

Just because Xie Jiazu had been elusive didn't mean he couldn't understand what they were saying. What was going on with these back-and-forth probing attempts? Was there a traitor among the three of them?

Xie Jiazu yawned, "How should I know? I haven't even seen him in person, I just heard about him from you guys."

Lu Qiqin: "You should be more careful. I see you running to the 200th floor or above all day long, but I don't know what you're running for."

Xie Jiazu narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing hostility, and said with a smile, "Our department is pretty idle, and there aren't any accidents. I'm just itching to move up the ladder."

He openly mocked himself, but secretly blamed the technical department for the accident.

Zhu Ning made an error in rating the first mission, and the technical department was the main suspect. Things have been abnormal since then.

For a moment, all three of them were silent: the technical department that made the mistake, Xuan Qing who was overly concerned about Zhu Ning, and Xie Jiazu who had been elusive all the time.

The three pairs of their eyes looked at each other and felt that one of them was a ghost.

…

The lobby on the first floor of the cleaning center was temporarily requisitioned and turned into a giant screening pool.

Because there are so many people at the cleaning center, inspections are conducted in batches.

It was the first time that Zhu Ning saw the scene at the cleaning center. Huo Wenxi was sitting on a chair with a simple table in front of her, and everyone had to line up to be examined by her.

Sometimes Huo Wenxi would ask some questions, and some people would just glance at her and let her go, completely unable to figure out the basis for using her abilities.

The people examined by Huo Wenxi were divided into three groups: red, yellow and blue.

The employees were a little confused, but since they would be paid for the survey, it became part of their job and everyone was more accepting of it.

The employees walked to Huo Wenxi in an orderly manner and finally saw the little witch as rumored. The little witch looked up at them, but her eyes were cold and without any warmth, like a machine.

"blue."

The employees inexplicably walked into the blue camp, and didn't know what blue represented, so they had to wait for Huo Wenxi to distinguish them again.

To be honest, if Zhu Ning hadn't actually seen Huo Wenxi use his supernatural powers, he would have thought it was just a scene of shamanism.

No wonder they all call Huo Wenxi the little witch, she is too weird.

At this time, the first inspection had just been completed. The employee being inspected walked to the blue camp. Zhu Ning quietly asked Zhuang Lin, "What do these colors mean?"

She and Zhuang Lin hid in the dark and no one saw them. They were responsible for this matter.

Commonly known as Huo Wenxi's thugs.

Zhuang Lin was in another direction, and they communicated through headsets: "Harmless, pending, harmful."

Zhu Ning asked, "What order do red, yellow, and blue represent?"

Zhuang Lin shook his head, "No, only the team leader knows."

Zhu Ning suddenly understood the real purpose of this seemingly mysterious screening. Everyone was confused and they didn't know whether they were safe or not.

When they walk into the camp, they will subconsciously observe the people around them. Those who are truly harmless will be confused, but those who have something to hide will be scared.

And as more people are screened, this fear will become more pronounced.

If everyone is in the blue camp and you are the only one in the red camp, people in other camps will find you strange, and you will feel exposed.

All in all, this is a game of psychological warfare.

Zhu Ning thought about it and felt that this method actually made sense. It was to constantly wear down your will and let the group put pressure on you until you finally couldn't hold on and had a mental breakdown.

An hour has passed. The blue camp has the most people, with ten people. The red camp has only three people, and the yellow camp currently has no one.

There were three camps and three colors. Everyone seemed to have guessed what these colors represented. Some people in the blue camp were already whispering, "Are we safe?"

"Of course I'm safe. I don't know about you."

"Is the yellow one haunted?"

"I guess so."

In an instant everyone in line realizes that they have guessed the rules of the game, and the person being scrutinized also shows emotions.

At first everyone was confused and had no idea what color it was.

Now everyone had a clear idea. A cleaner was examined, and Huo Wenxi pronounced the verdict: "Blue."

"Great!" the man couldn't help but shout, turning around to show off to his companions, "I told you it was safe."

Once it appears and one person openly states the rules of the game, the group pressure will become greater and greater.

Everyone who is under scrutiny will have their heart beating faster, afraid of going to the yellow camp in public.

"Red." Huo Wenxi pronounced.

The person being scrutinized was clearly unhappy. "Team Leader, can you take another good look? I'm sure I'm fine!"

Huo Wenxi shook his head: "Red."

"Team Leader!" the man shouted, "Look at me again, I'm really fine."

The staff from the investigation team nearby was responsible for maintaining order. "Sir, please go and sit down."

"Damn it!" The man cursed and reluctantly walked towards the red camp, but there were already people there. They whistled as if welcoming a new inmate. "Little unlucky guy? You're here?"

"I'm really fine," the man said.

"Come on, don't tell me, tell Team Leader Huo."

A bald man in the red camp propped himself up on his knees and said, "I'm curious to see who goes to the yellow camp."

The yellow camp has always been empty. Humans are social animals, and the pressure they face is greater than they imagine.

The screening went on in an orderly manner. Everyone cooperated to prove that they were fine. Those who got to the blue line would be relieved, and those who got to the red line would be unhappy, but everyone was looking forward to something appearing.

Many people initially just came to watch the fun, but gradually they seemed to become participants in the action, as they wanted to work together to catch the traitor.

At first, many people did not believe that there was a traitor, but now they feel that the traitor is among them.

Three hours have passed, and no one from the yellow camp has appeared.

Everyone is unsure. What if they are not there? Wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

Zhuang Lin had been silent the whole time, and suddenly he sighed. Zhu Ning knew the relationship between Zhuang Lin and Huo Wenxi, and knew that Zhuang Lin would pay more attention to Huo Wenxi himself than the mission.

Zhu Ning asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhuang Lin shook his head, "It's okay."

Zhu Ning thought to himself, "You don't look alright," and asked, "Will Huo Wenxi be unable to hold on?"

Most people have limits when using their superpowers. What are Huo Wenxi's limits?

Zhu Ning began to care more about Huo Wenxi's little actions. Why did she need a table?

Zhu Ning suddenly saw Huo Wenxi pressing his left forearm without any expression. Although Huo Wenxi was still working on the surface, he seemed to be in a bad condition privately.

Under her loose suit, there must be some kind of injection in her arm to maintain her extreme state.

Zhu Ning looked at Huo Wenxi's arm and asked, "Did the team leader hit anything?"

Zhuang Lin seemed somewhat helpless: "It can enhance superpowers within 12 hours, but the aftereffects are very serious."

It is equivalent to overloading, but the human body is very conservative. If you advance payment in advance, it will definitely backfire double.

Zhu Ning was speechless. Huo Wenxi was truly amazing.

Why was the investigation team so efficient? Huo Wenxi was practically racing against time.

"Blue." Huo Wenxi looked a little tired.

Zhuang Lin glanced at his watch. They had been going on for six hours. There was no need for Zhuang Lin to worry about Huo Wenxi. She would definitely stop before her condition reached the critical point.

Given her position, if she showed weakness in front of her employees, she would be doomed in this life.

Everyone was getting a little impatient waiting, no one was whispering, only Huo Wenxi's calm voice of judgment could be heard.

"Yellow." Huo Wenxi said calmly.

Her voice was so cold, and everyone was tortured a little too much, so many people thought they had heard it wrongly.

Standing in front of her was a two-meter-tall man. His entire body, except for his head, had been mechanized. When he stood in front of people, he gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Huo Wenxi repeated: "Yellow."

Huo Wenxi didn't even blink when the man suddenly raised his mechanical arm. His left arm suddenly turned red, as if it was wrapped in a layer of bomb.

It only took a moment for the bomb to explode and this person would kill Huo Wenxi.

Huo Wenxi didn't take any protective measures for himself, not even a bulletproof glass. Zhu Ning remembered that Huo Wenxi was very fragile. People with strong decision-making ability basically have no ability to protect themselves, not to mention that the person opposite him is a strong man who is 80% mechanized.

There is only one possibility for Huo Wenxi to dare to do this, that is, she is using herself as bait to lure the enemy to attack her.

Anyone who was a traitor would have thought of killing Huo Wenxi. She looked defenseless and the nearest security guard was three meters away.

Everyone would want to give it a try, in case killing Huo Wenxi would be equivalent to eliminating a powerful enemy.

For Huo Wenxi, this was just a dangerous move that would alert the enemy. It was effective, but not dangerous.

Zhu Ning cursed in his heart, what kind of psychopath is Huo Wenxi?

The man was very close to Huo Wenxi and could kill him within a second.

Zhuang Lin and Zhu Ning moved at the same time. Zhuang Lin fired with one hand and raised a defensive shield in front of Huo Wenxi with the other.

The mechanical man just raised his arm and saw a bullet coming towards him. At the same time, he felt a strange force suddenly pressing down on every inch of his skin. It was unspeakable and unquestionable.

All the parts on the mechanical man's body rotated counterclockwise at the same time. As a metal-type mutant, he had absolute control over the field, so precise that he could control a tiny screw, which even produced sparks when it rotated.

Bang!

The mechanical man was pushed backwards by the strange force within a second. It was so sudden that it broke up the team behind him and passers-by made way for him.

The mechanical man's arm smashed into a huge stone pillar, followed by a loud bang. His mechanical arm had completely exploded, blasting a charred hole in the stone pillar.

Gurgle——

Zhu Ning's metal manipulation has an absolute distance of twenty meters. Fortunately, it is mechanized, otherwise Zhu Ning would not be able to react in such a short time.

Zhu Ning was still in the dark, but Zhuang Lin had already rushed to Huo Wenxi's side. Zhu Ning's heart was pounding, and her intuition told her that things would not be simple.

Zhu Ning looked down at the body of the mechanical man. His torso was made of mechanical metal and had long been blown into pieces.

What was strange was that the man's head fell down and rolled away, making a slight sound when it hit the wall.

Most of the people present were demon hunters and would not be scared by human heads, but for a moment they found it difficult to accept that the traitor actually existed.

Something even more surprising happened to them. The human head had eyes wide open, as if he was unwilling to die. His head was moving as if some roundworms were crawling underneath.

Puff——

Everyone stared at the human head and suddenly couldn't help but take a step back. Dozens of arms stretched out from the bumpy surface of the head. The arms extended from the eyeballs, mouth, and tongue, and the five tiny fingers could even move flexibly.

Then the arms extended and the head swelled, and in the blink of an eye it had expanded to ten meters high.

A human head covered with arms suddenly grew and appeared abruptly in the center of the cleaning center hall. It looked like some kind of work of art, or an enlarged virus model. Everyone could only look up at it.

"Contaminant!" A demon hunter immediately recognized it and entered combat mode, shouting, "Everyone retreat!"
