Chapter 97: Mermaid and the Professor of Michigan University
Because of Rong Le, Yang Cheng was wary of any alien species that might appear around him, and marked the target with his own mark to intimidate other alien species. This was a form of territorial enclave behavior among alien species.
His stronger possessiveness made it difficult for him to tolerate the presence of other alien species around Rong Le.
Reporting Rong Le to the Special Office and asking them to pay attention to Rong Le's safety is a good choice.
However, since there is an action mission, the report can only be put on hold for the time being.
This action is not a small-scale operation. The alien species of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect have always been elusive. They are more mysterious than the alien species of the Mother Goddess's family with profound background.
This time, the informant obtained the whereabouts of one of the members, "Tengshe", and the Special Office began to carry out the capture operation.
"Tengshe, an S-rank alien species, originally possesses a snake's tail. He is a core member of the Heavenly Kingdom sect. According to informants, Tengshe is frequently active in a certain area. Initial suspicions suggest he is meeting with other members. The most likely location is an underground bar."
On the screen, a map of the bar's surroundings and a blueprint of its interior structure appeared.
At the front of the conference room, Qu Sen, the commander-in-chief of this operation and the head of operations of the Special Office Headquarters, gave an explanation of the operation.
Below, Yang Cheng sat in the crowd, looking at the screen.
The area where the underground bar is located is the North District, which is also a densely populated old city area. On the day of the operation, the North District will be completely blocked, residents are not allowed to go out, and areas radiating outward from the center of the battlefield will be evacuated.
But in order to prevent alerting the Teng Snake, he had to sneak into the bar first to break through, hold back the alien, and buy time for the emergency evacuation of his colleagues on the ground.
"I will be fully responsible for this operation. You are all the elite of your department. The members of the Operations Department have always been the sharpest knives of our Special Office. The members of the headquarters have even more extensive search and arrest experience. I hope everyone can work closely together to capture the Teng Snake!"
"I have a question."
Yang Cheng and his team leader raised their hand.
"Speaking."
"Can the informant's information be trusted? After all, there have been cases in history where incorrect intelligence has led to the annihilation of entire operatives."
"If this bar isn't the real meeting place, then could this raid be a loophole Tengshe has given us?"
The team leader has been working in this industry for many years, so he was very calm when questioning.
"If we fall for their trick, we'll likely be ambushed, which would be detrimental to the battle."
"It's a reasonable guess, but no action is foolproof. As a member of the Operations Department, you must be prepared to face all dangers. This is an allowable error."
"However, I can guarantee that the informant's information is over 90% correct. However, the exact number of members is uncertain. It's possible that if we disrupt the Heavenly Kingdom sect's lair, we will face more than one core member."
Qu Sen told a joke, and the members below had no expression on their faces.
"Once the operation begins, everything changes rapidly. This is when everyone's adaptability and comprehensive abilities are tested."
"In short, I hope everyone can return triumphantly and successfully complete the mission. The specific action plan will be assigned by your superiors."
"I wish you all good luck in fighting."
…
After the meeting, Yang Cheng and Jones walked in the corridor.
"It seems this operation is very dangerous. You didn't know that when the team leader went to the small meeting just now, his brows were furrowed. His face was so dark that it could scare a child to tears."
Jones said with a grin.
Yang Cheng: "You really aren't nervous at all. After all, it's been a long time since we've had such a large-scale operation, and if nothing unexpected happens, we will be the vanguard."
"Of course, right? We can't let those seniors with their noses in the sky be the vanguard. They'll definitely be stabbed to pieces by the aliens."
Jones said venomously.
Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing and understood Jones's attitude.
After all, those people at the headquarters were really domineering. They didn't even bother to respond to our greetings, and they almost openly said that we were not the same kind of people.
"Even so, safety is still important. If you encounter an alien species you can't fight, you must delay until I can get there."
Yang Cheng said seriously.
"I see, top student. Damn it, not only did you have good grades in school, but after the transformation surgery, your strength is also stronger than ours."
Jones complained hypocritically and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, if we encounter a high-level alien, I will shake you over."
Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing.
"You too, if it's a very strong alien species, don't be too stubborn, okay? You're not alone now. For people like us, you're also tied to someone."
Jones: "I'll help you too, it's a deal."
Yang Cheng: "What do you mean by people like us? It's like we're not even human anymore."
"Whatever you want, idiot!"
Yang Cheng was not angry. From the very beginning when he met Jones, he knew that Jones was smarter than him. He never understood the ways of the world, and Jones was always there to help him. Yang Cheng always trusted his words.
"Hello!"
Jones, who was walking around the corner, was suddenly bumped by someone and staggered a few steps.
He said unhappily, "Don't you know how to watch the road?"
"What are you talking about? Have some manners, little alien?"
In the other group of people, the man who bumped into him sneered and said.
Yang Cheng immediately stepped forward with a cold expression. His expression at this time always looked intimidating. "You guys are the ones who bumped into people first, but you just walked away without even apologizing. That's the impolite behavior, isn't it?"
"Why would I bother being polite with people like you...tsk."
After being bumped by his companion, the man took back what he said, ignored him, and left with his companion.
Judging from their attire, they were seniors from headquarters who had just been in the meeting room. Although Yang Cheng had only seen them from afar, he hadn't expected them to be so contemptuous.
Seeing that they wanted to leave, he took a step forward to stop them, but was stopped by Jones.
In the end, I could only watch them leave the corridor.
Yang Cheng: "Jones, why?"
Jones: "Forget it, those guys won't listen to your words and apologize honestly, just stay away from them."
"But……"
Yang Cheng wanted to say something, but Jones grabbed him by the neck and dragged him forward: "Alright, let's go now. If we don't leave now, we'll be in trouble if the team leader catches us."
The conflict in the morning did not cause any waves. Yang Cheng and his team held a brief meeting after the team leader came back.
The content is all about action. This action is very important and requires cooperation with multiple departments. Many things need to be closely prepared.
There was no free time after the mission, and before that Yang Cheng returned to Rong Le's home again.
Before taking action, he planned to appease her again.
Rong Le gave him the key to his house. As Yang Cheng came more often, he cleaned up the unused guest room so that Yang Cheng would have a place to rest.
As soon as Yang Cheng opened the door, he made eye contact with two women and two men sitting in the living room.
“…”
Yang Cheng: "You guys..."
Rong Le walked out of the study in slippers and saw him standing at the door. She looked very natural: "Are you here? Come in first, we'll be done talking soon."
Yang Cheng nodded hesitantly.
He changed out of his home shoes from the shoe cabinet next to him, walked past the sofa in the living room, and went into the room.
There were two girls sitting on the sofa, one was young and beautiful, the other was gentle and quiet, and there was also a boy with yellow hair and a low presence. They watched his back disappear behind the door.
Wang Qi: "Wow..."
Chen Sisi: "Ah..."
Sheng Mao: “666…”
Xu Yuanhe: "You three, your gazes are too obvious."
These four people are pioneers in the same module. The three young people are students in this module, and Xu Yuanhe is an investigation operator of the collection hall.
Wang Qi, Chen Sisi and Sheng Mao have dual student identities. Like Xu Yuanhe, they have the hidden identity of an investigation operator in the collection hall. They are arranged by the module background to infiltrate the school for investigation as exchange students.
As graduates of Qiu Hai Private High School, you have graduated with excellent grades. Because of your unique experiences, you have all chosen to join Miskatonic University. Perhaps here, you will once again meet the student council president who dedicated himself to Qiu Hai.
Because of your outstanding abilities, you have come to East District University as exchange students. Your mission is to assist Professor Rong Le and complete the investigation mission in the alien area.
[Under the recommendation of your companions, you have joined the big family of the Archives. It is your mission to carry out the director's sacred will, and you bear the highest responsibility.]
This is definitely not the behavior of a traitor.
Xu Yuanhe's identity is an ordinary outsider, and following the clues of his identity, he has been able to determine that his identity before and after Polante is also questionable.
It will definitely be revised to a member of the collection hall with a hidden identity.
Xu Yuanhe suddenly became a hidden boss: ...
If you replay it, you will never forget how embarrassed he looked in the module.
They watched as Rong Le softly and tenderly brought a glass of milk into the young man's room.
Although they didn't know what happened, the four people who already had a full understanding of Rong Lexie's nature had begun to feel pity for him in advance.
"I always feel like someone is cheating on me." Chen Sisi said, "Is it my illusion?"
Wang Qi: "It's not an illusion. That guy is clearly a prey that has been tricked."
Sheng Mao complained, "Just now I felt like I was being stared at by a scary monster. He must be hostile to us, right?"
"That's too much. It's rude to say bad things about others behind their backs."
Rong Le came out and handed the documents to Xu Yuanhe very perfunctorily: "You have got the things, and the information has been shared. You can leave now. Contact me if you have anything else."
In every sense, Rong Le is their superior, but sometimes she would want to tease them.
Wang Qi asked, "Does he know that he has a rival in love?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Rong Le's smile didn't change at all.
Sheng Mao very tactfully dragged Wang Qi away, dragging Chen Sisi with one hand, and said to Rong Le, "Then we'll leave first!"
"Hey, don't pull me!"
The sound of pushing and shoving gradually faded away. Xu Yuanhe bent down and closed the door. He looked back through the gap in the gradually closing door and saw Rong Le still standing there without moving.
The door was completely shut.
Rong Le's fingers lightly touched her lips, her eyes drooped slightly, and her expression seemed thoughtful.
Love rival...?
As expected, the players were able to monitor his every move in some way.
…
"I told you not to pull me!"
"Sister, do you know what you have revealed?"
Sheng Mao was completely devastated: "Look at your performance... Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Seeing him like this, Wang Qi's face froze subtly.
She looked away with a guilty conscience: "Oh, it seems true..."
It revealed some incredible information.
But she felt that it was not all her fault. It was just that the atmosphere when they were together just now was too good, which caused her to lose her vigilance.
"It doesn't matter. The curator is omnipotent. That's why Mr. Rong Le has such a close relationship with him. He will definitely be able to detect our secrets."
Chen Sisi said softly, "Since it's not stated in the training manual, then let it be."
Rong Le was extremely good at getting information out of people without them noticing, and everyone who talked to him had fallen for it to some extent. Wang Qi was just lax for a moment and blurted it out.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't know more information about Baiyue.
Xu Yuanhe: "Alright, these are just small matters. There's no need for us to hide them. In fact, our goal is to make him aware of them. We should go back now. Everyone, please be safe."
He was not traveling with the students, and after leaving the gate, they went their separate ways.
Xu Yuanhe's current identity is a reserve cadre of the collection hall. Compared with the investigation tasks of other young boys and girls, his tasks are more complicated.
All in all, he went from being a corporate slave working in a company to being the ultimate corporate slave working for the collection hall and the special affairs department, and he has to take care of everything.
Because the fate of his ID card has become entangled with Rong Le, it is easy for him to enter the same module as him, and the same is true for Wang Qi and others.
Xu Yuanhe was very sad and angry after discovering that he had been fooled by Linqing, but he had already entered the module, so he had to bite the bullet and continue.
After all, his conscience ached when he thought of someone who worked day and night.
Since he has the ability, let's help him share some of the burden.
…
"Sorry for the wait."
Rong Le walked into Yang Cheng's room.
Yang Cheng moved closer very naturally, getting very close to Rong Le.
They had been getting along like this for a while now, and Rong Le's scent made him feel at ease. "Who were those people in the living room just now?"
He asked casually.
"Students and friends I met before."
Rong Le explained briefly.
After receiving the response, Yang Cheng did not continue asking. Although those people gave him a feeling that something was not right, he thought that he should give the professor his own space and not delve into further matters.
The possessive instinct has begun to affect his actions, and if he continues like this, he doesn't know what he will do.
Rong Le raised her hand and touched his head, trying to comfort him: "Isn't this frequency a bit too frequent?"
He said it very tolerantly, but Yang Cheng's face turned red immediately.
He tried to defend himself: "No, I just wanted to come over because I have a mission soon and tell you to be careful."
It’s not because he needs too much!
The rest of his words were interrupted by a touch on his head. Yang Cheng squinted his eyes and let Rong Le touch him.
He felt the soothing comfort in his body, but no matter how many times he did it, it was never enough.
"It's okay, you can come to me anytime."
The professor's patience is extraordinary.
Yang Cheng was very glad that the object of control he found brought him a sense of reliability and security, and was simply the ideal object for aliens.
No, we can't forget the important things.
"The Special Office will be conducting a large-scale crackdown operation in the North District. Don't go in that direction recently. I will be participating in the operation and won't be able to take care of you, so you must pay attention to your safety."
Yang Cheng: "Okay, Professor?"
"Of course, I'll take care of myself, and so will you."
Rong Le agreed very smoothly.
This way, there are no more worries and Yang Cheng can go about his mission with peace of mind.
Before carrying out the cruel mission, he luxuriously enjoyed the fulfillment and tranquility brought by his body and mind.
Later, when Yang Cheng recalled the past, this memory was the only one that remained so profound in his mind.
How he wished that time could stop at this moment. In his dark and cold memories, only everything related to Rong Le was tinged with warmth.
So intoxicating.
…
The day of the action soon arrived.
Yang Cheng was fully armed and followed everyone to the vicinity of the action site. He got out of the car and gradually sneaked towards the destination.
The black torrent flowed silently towards the underground bar. As the vanguard, Yang Cheng's mission was to break into the bar, which was the most risky and had the highest mortality rate. At the same time, the members who carried out the mission were also the strongest force of the Special Office.
Jones's job was to provide flank support, helping the sharpest point of the knife advance.
They all wear headsets on their ears. The helmets are top-level equipment that can withstand a certain degree of attack. They are also equipped with cameras that can record video transmission, infrared detection, night vision and other functions.
The headquarters command will communicate with them through headsets, and monitor the overall situation in real time through instrument displays to complete combat missions together.
"Repeat, the target is the Teng Snake. Try to capture it alive. If there are other valuable alien species, bring them back without losing their lives."
The conductor in the headset said.
"clear."
Yang Cheng replied, his eyes fixed on the passage leading to the underground, and he walked gradually underground with his weapon in hand.
The stairs gradually lead deep into the underground. The buildings in the old city are inevitably a bit backward and inadequate. The light at the stairs is very dim and the visual resolution is very low.
In order not to alert the target in the bar, Yang Cheng did not turn on the light on his helmet, but slowly descended relying on his night vision ability.
Even with the brightness turned up, it was still difficult to see the surrounding situation through the helmet lens. The command team at the headquarters, who were closely watching the images sent back from the front line on the big screen, were unable to discern the situation.
As the team leader of the operations department, the commander-in-chief on the front line was not at the headquarters command center, but at a temporary front-line command center about one kilometer away from the target location, watching the helmet image of Yang Cheng on the tablet.
Each combat member can selectively view the helmet camera.
"It's hard to see clearly. Visibility is too low. If there's an ambush, it'll be a fierce battle."
The team leader frowned and thought.
He did not use the headset to remind Yang Cheng, because he believed that his favorite subordinate would not make low-level mistakes.
During the operation, Yang Cheng had the genes of a mermaid alien merged. This type of alien has extremely high visibility even in the deep sea. Even though he has not become an alien now, he still has considerable night vision ability.
He observed the surroundings, which were very quiet. No one seemed to have noticed the arrival of the Special Office. As Yang Cheng observed, he recalled the intelligence exchange before the mission began.
"This is a photo of Tengshe going to an underground bar. The informant only captured his back. You know that aliens are highly sensitive to prying eyes. This is the only side profile captured, but I think it should be enough."
Yang Cheng took the photo, which was a barely taken picture in an alley across the street from the ground entrance of the bar.
The burly man in a black suit revealed half of his profile, with black hair and black eyes, and looked to be in his thirties or forties.
They considered sneaking into the bar disguised as passersby, but quickly dismissed the idea.
If we alert the enemy and don’t know when we can catch the Heavenly Kingdom Sect, the best way is to hit them with one strike.
"Tengshe is an S-class alien, skilled in hiding and disguise. Records show him participating in only a few attacks, most of which were related to the Celestial Kingdom sect. We cannot estimate his combat power, but our initial estimate is S-class, but he may actually be more than that."
The team leader's voice echoed in his ears: "If you face him, be careful in judging his combat capabilities. We suspect he is also a power-type alien."
No matter how strong his opponent is, he will capture him.
Yang Cheng gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, his eyes calm. His combat quality has always been A-level, and the institute evaluated him as a natural warrior.
In order to protect the people and make this area more peaceful, he will complete his mission.
Yang Cheng thought of Rong Le who was waiting for him at home. The professor might be reading a book and drinking coffee at this moment. Would he worry about him at some point without any news?
Complete the task quickly and go back to see the professor.
As Yang Cheng was thinking this, he finally stepped on the ground. In front of him was an ordinary brown wooden door.
He placed his hand on the door handle and gestured behind him.
An order immediately came through the headset: "Everyone, please be alert. If there are any people in the bar, do your best to take them away. All units, quickly organize the evacuation of surrounding residents. Action begins!"
Yang Cheng pushed open the door.
The next moment, his pupils shrank, and his body keenly sensed the danger. He rolled out of his original position and narrowly avoided the attack.
Discovered!
He no longer hesitated, stopped and immediately fired in the direction of the attack. At the same time, the scene inside the bar came into his sight. There were no customers inside, but there were several aliens who were on high alert.
Yang Cheng’s first reaction was that the action was correct and they had indeed found one of the strongholds of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.
Then his mood suddenly sank.
Since the aliens had already discovered their actions, why didn't they take action just now, but instead waited until he came into the bar before taking action? Was there an ambush here?
……wrong.
Yang Cheng's eyes suddenly widened. "We've fallen into a trap. They want to catch us all in one fell swoop!"
This is like walking into a trap!
Not only Yang Cheng, but all other members of the operation also showed up. The aliens waiting in the underground bar were only a part of them, and some were hiding. Only after they all appeared did they start hunting.
"Are you finally reacting? You simple little half-blood."
A light laugh was heard, and Yang Cheng looked in the direction of the sound. The burly man in the photo appeared in front of him.
He sat behind the bar, looking at him leisurely, his eyes as cold as a cold-blooded animal.
Yang Cheng no longer had any doubts about the information in the photo. The man in front of him was the core cadre of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect, "Teng Snake".
