"The gains..." Jiu Yebai pondered for a moment, "Of course there are. Haven't I become more stylish and handsome?"
The cat glanced at him. "That's not what I'm asking."
Jiu Yebai chuckled and said with interest, "Kitty, you really want to know?"
The cat stared at Jiu Yebai with a strange look in her eyes. If he didn't say anything soon, the cat might hit him.
Jiu Yebai immediately understood the cat's look and said seriously, "Since you asked, I'll tell you... The Fifth Major's troops... are indeed very amazing. I've discovered that his troops are not as obedient to any leader as they seem on the surface."
Our ships don't have fixed patrol routes; it feels like we're just drifting aimlessly on the sea… The ship that came to escort you this time was also a sudden assignment. The commander of this unit seems to be the Fifth Major.”
The cat narrowed its eyes slightly.
When Jiu Yebai said this, he had a purely curious look on his face. It was only because he was talking to a cat that he said these things. If it were someone else, he definitely wouldn't have said these things.
The cat asked, "Besides these, is there anything else?"
Jiu Yebai thought about it carefully and said, "I have been trying to study the military's security system again, but every time I just come across it, I am forced to come back. I dare not be too obvious, so I can only probe slowly."
However, once I deciphered an instruction that read, "All personnel hibernate, awaiting the sea eye." I studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it meant.
The security level of the order is too high. I suspect that the Fifth Major has some extraordinary special agents under his command.
“It’s ‘Sea Eye’ again…” the cat murmured. “When was this order given? Did it say when or where the Sea Eye would appear?”
Jiu Yebai shook his head. "No."
However, Jiu Yebai quickly exclaimed in surprise, "Cat, do you know what a sea eye is? I've also guessed that it might be some kind of phenomenon, but I have no evidence. How do you know?"
Cat glanced at him. Well, that's a long story. She was still considering whether to tell Jiu Yebai.
"Silly little brother, have you been practicing your skills properly?" After a while, the cat suddenly changed the subject.
Jiu Yebai asked, puzzled, "Wait, weren't we talking about the sea eye?"
The cat patted Jiu Yebai's head. Although his flowing short hair had long been cut into a stylish buzz cut, his head still felt alright to touch.
“Silly brother, the ‘Sea Eye’ thing is a bit complicated. I’ll tell you, but not now,” Cat said. “If you can be my undercover agent right under Fifth Zhen’s nose, I’ll tell you.”
Before Jiu Yebai could even grieve over his new hairstyle, he still couldn't escape his older sister's head pat and exclaimed in surprise, "Undercover agent? You have a grudge against the Fifth Major? What am I undercover for?"
Cat said, "I have no grudge against him, but he does have a group of extraordinary people under his command. I want to know what these people do..."
Of course, what she wanted to know most was the entanglement between the special department and the Eight Gates.
Jiu Yebai said somewhat seriously, "Cat, explain yourself clearly, do you know something?"
After a moment's thought, the cat revealed some information.
"Fifth True has a special department under him, which contains some people with special abilities. Ah Jin and Ye Mingshi are also nominally affiliated with this special department. You don't need to know about the others, because... I don't know either," Maomao said.
Jiu Yebai, on the contrary, became a little excited. "Special department... how special is it? Is it more special than the Eight Gates?"
In his view, the Eight Gates were an anomaly among humans.
Cat slapped Jiu Yebai without any mercy, saying, "There are too many things in this world that you don't know, just because they don't exist."
Jiu Yebai wasn't angry after being hit; he just nodded obediently.
The cat offered him a rare moment of comfort, saying, "You're still too weak; it's okay if you don't understand."
Jiu Yebai looked at the cat with a heavy heart. This attempt at comforting was worse than no comfort at all! It was too much of a blow... Soon, Jiu Yebai said, "Don't worry, leave this to me. I will definitely get to the bottom of this special department."
"The premise is that you have to protect yourself." Cat said, paused for a moment, and then quickly added, "However, there's no need to worry too much. If Fifth Realm really wants to deal with you, Cat will dig up his ancestors for eight generations and whip their corpses."
She said it as if it were a joke, but Jiu Yebai shuddered. "That's a bit too mean... Don't worry, Cat, I was just curious before. Since you want to know, I'll investigate it seriously."
The cat nodded in satisfaction.
However, Jiu Yebai's sudden mention of "Sea Eye" made her forget her original purpose... So, she said, "Silly brother, since you have some ability, if I ask you to investigate some things, can you do it easily without alerting anyone?"
Jiu Yebai patted his chest confidently, "Of course, that's too easy!"
The cat nodded and decisively patted Jiu Yebai on the shoulder, "In that case, I'll test you first. Investigate Yamashita Haraichi's family right away."
Kuya Shiro: "Yamashita Haraichi? Isn't that the captain of the archaeological team you sent from Japan this time?"
The cat nodded.
Jiu Yebai immediately agreed, "No problem, give me some time, I'll hand in the paper by tonight at the latest."
So, Jiu Yebai had something to do, and he was full of fighting spirit. Before, he was a hacker purely for the thrill, but now, he finally felt that he was of some use.
