Chapter 35: Mixed Joys and Sadness



Repeated stimulation made Zhuang Mian give up such thoughts. She finally walked back to the Public Security Bureau and saw the three-story building full of parked vehicles from a distance.

Looks like support from other police departments has arrived...

Zhuang Mian pondered secretly in his heart, and after verifying his identity at the guard, he walked into his workplace.

Several colleagues who were not on the field trip with her were stunned for a moment when they saw Zhuang Mian, and then turned around and ran upstairs as if they had seen a ghost.

Ten seconds later, a group of people crowded at the stairs. The kind-looking old comrade leading them was the director of the Eastern Outer City Security Bureau.

The old comrade, who was always calm and composed, twitched a muscle on his face, and finally took out a "List of Missing/Dead Persons" from behind.

Zhuang Mian took the list and glanced up and down, then looked past his own eye-catching ID photo to the other colleagues.

There was a selection box behind each person's photo with two options. Zhuang Mian saw that except for his own row which was selected as "missing", all the other security team members had been confirmed as "dead".

After the experience in the dream, Zhuang Mian's personality seemed to have changed a little. When she looked at the names, the first thing that came to her mind was not the sadness of the death of her colleagues, but the advantages and disadvantages of this result for herself, an airborne young leader.

Bad news: half of my team members were killed.

The good news: they are just a bunch of old foxes colluding with local gangs, and I have been annoyed with them for a long time.

The bad news: From now on, we may lose the opportunity to communicate with those local forces.

The good news: I had no intention in this regard, and it is really good to leave behind a group of obedient young people.

After confirming that the dead were not good people, Zhuang Mian became even more hard-hearted. After saying hello to several higher-ranking officers, she went upstairs and returned to her team's office.

As soon as Zhuang Mian entered the room, he saw deputy captain Zhao Qi with his face wrapped in thick gauze. The moment this somewhat timid deputy saw Zhuang Mian push the door open, his face was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Captain! You're not dead!"

One of the team members cheered loudly.

"If you can't speak, shut up and watch me!

"Congratulations, Captain, for escaping death!"

"......"

Zhuang Mian then briefly reported what happened last night, which is what she should do after such a vicious incident.

After all, even if she had dozens of scars of varying sizes on her body, it couldn't completely prove that she was innocent. It was not uncommon for a traitor in the team to sell out the entire team in the history of public security in the outer city.

In the report, Zhuang Mian revealed almost everything that happened except intentionally concealing the real name of a certain courageous psychologist.

Combining her experience with that of all the survivors, the Outer City East Security Headquarters has confirmed the viciousness of the case.

Although Zhuang Mian has repeatedly stated that this attack has nothing to do with the recently "powerful" "Mind Flayer", due to the lack of conclusive evidence, the suspect in this case is still identified as the "Mind Flayer".

Feeling that he had recovered almost completely, Zhuang Mian plunged into his work again and began to try to collect evidence from Dr. Bud, who was killed last, to continue his investigation.

Her intuition told her that the smuggling case in the inner city that involved her and the recent murder of a black market doctor in the outer city must be inextricably linked.

Inner city, southern part, research institute headquarters.

Ji Yongxing placed a stack of papers on the desk of Deputy Director Zhou Zhuo.

"'On the Possibility of Acquired Supernatural Abilities', well, there is something to it, and it can be regarded as proposing some possible solutions to the big problems of the Life Technology Department and the Super Energy Technology Department.

"You don't know, Zhao Kai and Liu Jixing are almost going crazy recently."

Zhou Zhuo slammed the document on the table.

"I thought you were going to give me an interesting computer model as a reward."

Ji Yongxing smiled and adjusted his glasses which were hidden by his bangs.

"You can't hide anything from me. The model does exist, but it is just a research tool and cannot be published as a result."

"You little brat has a lot on your mind, so go back first, I'll take a look at the report slowly.

"What new ideas do you have recently? What position do you want to rotate to?"

Ji Yongxing seemed to have been prepared for this question. He said very quickly:

"I want to work in the Life Science Department for a while. When I wrote this report, I felt that my relevant knowledge was still very lacking. If I gain new knowledge, I can revise it."

Zhou Zhuo nodded and wrote a note to Ji Yongxing on the spot, which stated his reporting time - next Monday.

In the institute, Deputy Director Zhou Zhuo's notes are like imperial edicts from ancient emperors in the old era. Whether it is a salary increase or a job transfer, as long as he thinks there is no problem, he will definitely approve it.

The priority is even higher than internal formal documents.

As for the director of the research institute?

According to the institute's rules over the past thirty years, the director has always been responsible for confronting those idiots in the parliament at every quarterly funding application meeting and achievement report meeting.

This is the institute's customary separation of inside and outside, allowing professionals to do professional things.

All technical departments are managed personally by successive deputy directors. Apart from wrangling and confronting each other, the director only has the power to manage purely auxiliary departments such as the Statistics Department, the Logistics Department, and the Coordination Department.

Ji Yongxing walked out of Zhou Zhuo's office. The smile on the face of the balding deputy director slowly faded, replaced by a look of doubt.

"Kid, you're not yourself anymore..."

After thinking for a while, he picked up the intercom on his desk and called in a man whose temperament was totally inconsistent with that of a researcher.

"Investigate all of Researcher Ji Yongxing's recent trips to the outer city. Do not act rashly if you encounter any suspicious persons."

"clear."

The sharp ring-shaped blade pierced Wang Xiao's left palm for the forty-fourth time.

The blade was like a metal straw, and every time it was pulled out it would mercilessly take away some of the flesh and blood inside the ring-shaped blade.

This was his third time taking a super power level test.

Perhaps surprised by his performance on the city wall, the research institute sent a three-person team to the outer city area to conduct a special test on him. Wang Xiao briefly inquired about it and found that as long as he passed the test, his ability rating would rise to C.

Once this is accomplished, he will have the opportunity to join the psychic team directly under the military as Fresnel said.

This is a rare opportunity for everyone in Hope City, but Wang Xiao feels very conflicted about it.

Rather than running around serving as a fire captain, he wanted to protect the section of the city wall that his father once guarded.
