November 20, 5:53 am, VIP channel of the international terminal of Lianjiang International Airport.
"Why me?"
“Why is it always me?”
In the waiting room, Yu Kuangtu, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, sighed helplessly. Li Dan glanced at him and said, "This is a top-secret A-level mission assigned directly from the General Administration. Of course, you, the 'number one cultivator in Lianjiang', the 'strongest in the Countermeasures Bureau', and the 'third-turn great cultivator', are in charge."
Every time Li Dan praised him, Yu Kuangtu's face darkened. He muttered, "Alright, alright... You're making me feel bad. I didn't expect Dong Chengling to be promoted to the fourth rank before me. He is indeed a talent specially invited by the Great Wall."
"I must have spent less time practicing... Lianjiang has two deputy directors, why do they have to have me come? Can't Qiao Muyin come? I've been working for many days in a row, at least I should have a day off!"
Li Dan stared at Yu Kuangtu with those panda eyes for five seconds, and said a fact calmly: "If you take a holiday, there will definitely be a female college student who is excellent in academics, diligent in cultivation, pure and lovely, who will also take a leave and miss class on that day."
Yu Kuangtu nodded with satisfaction as he listened, crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right, she is just that good."
"I'm not praising you. On October 23, you asked for a day off in the name of cultivation. At 3 pm, I saw a photo of you and Qin Lian at the Glacier Bay skating rink." Li Dan said, "'Cultivation leave' is a paid leave. In theory, you are dereliction of duty. I should report this to the countermeasures system. Even if you can still hold the position of deputy director, you can forget about getting leave next time."
"I'm sorry, I'll do it again next time."
"Then don't let me find you next time."
The communication between Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan is not like that between normal superiors and subordinates, not only because they have a deep friendship, but also because Li Dan is actually the 'military supervisor' of the countermeasure system - he is Yu Kuangtu's subordinate, but at the same time he is always observing whether Yu Kuangtu has committed dereliction of duty, crime and other behaviors.
Because the Countermeasures Bureau is basically commanded by the deputy director of each place, the deputy director has considerable power, so naturally there needs to be checks and balances. Airborne ordinary people as the director, increasing the number of deputy directors, these are indirect checks and balances, and direct checks and balances are to assign a "supervisor" like a secretary to each deputy director, who acts with the deputy director at all times.
The selection of this "secretary" is very particular: he should not be too arrogant and hinder the normal command of the deputy director, nor should he be too cowardly and faithfully perform his supervisory duties.
If it were in the past, this selection would certainly be very troublesome, but now is the extraordinary era of spiritual energy revival, so there is naturally a different way of selecting people - almost every secretary is directly appointed by the General Administration of Countermeasures, all secretaries are original members of the various countermeasures bureaus, and can complete their tasks just right.
Yu Kuangtu once wondered whether someone in the General Administration of Countermeasures had an awakening spell that could see the loyalty and compatibility of others, but he was very satisfied with the arrangement of the General Administration of Countermeasures - instead of letting strangers supervise him, it would be better to cooperate sincerely with the strict Li Dan.
Yu Kuangtu's complaints were just casual talk. He knew that before the Countermeasures Bureau assigned a secretary to Qiao Muyi, Qiao Muyi would not be allowed to participate in important operations. At most, she would be in charge of the Countermeasures Bureau.
Tap, tap, tap. Hearing the footsteps, Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan stood up at the same time and looked out the door.
Three seconds later, three white men in black windbreakers entered the waiting room. Yu Kuangtu looked at the black armor that leaked out from their windbreakers, as well as the nano gloves on their hands, and couldn't help but whistled - the Federation must be rich to equip the Watchers with such good equipment.
They only have one vest, and they haven't changed it yet.
"Nice to meet you, Yu." The bald man in the lead stretched out his hand. Yu Kuangtu shook hands with him and said in half-English: "I have received the order from the superior. I will cooperate with your actions, but we are the main body of the action, and you can only cooperate on the side."
Speaking of this, Yu Kuangtu was actually a little confused - because the Countermeasures Bureau notified them at around 3:00 in the morning, but the three watchers flew over from New York and had already set off 15 hours ago!
In other words, the Countermeasures Bureau suddenly received the news only after the Watchers boarded the plane, so they assigned the task in the middle of the night... What a sloppy cross-border cooperation.
"Of course, of course. We will never interfere with your actions. Completing the mission is our top priority."
Yu Kuangtu was very satisfied with the attitude of the Watcher. "Then let's go back to the Countermeasures Bureau and talk about it in detail."
"No need. We don't have much time. We must act as soon as possible." The bald man looked at the waiting room and pointed at the camera in the corner of the room. Then a watchman stretched out his hand and a wisp of black wind flew out and completely covered the camera.
"Excuse me, but could you please take out all your communication tools first?" The bald man said, "And for the following operations, all your communications must be conducted under our supervision."
Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan were a little dissatisfied, but they didn't say anything. This was an international airport, and there was a team of countermeasure monks waiting outside, so they took out their cell phones.
At this time, the bald man took out his mobile phone to send a text message, and a moment later, an instruction from the Countermeasures Bureau appeared on Yu Kuangtu's mobile phone.
This is an arrest warrant, which clearly states the target's name, appearance, detailed intelligence, reason for arrest and current location.
Yu Kuangtu glanced at the instruction, his pupils suddenly shrank, his voice trembled slightly, and he handed the phone to Li Dan to see: "Check the key."
Li Dan's panda eyes widened instantly, but his tone remained calm: "The key is correct."
All the communication text messages of the Countermeasures Bureau will be accompanied by a unique key that is updated every hour. Although it is updated every hour, you only need to remember the 'key' (formula) updated today, and then calculate the corresponding correct key based on the arrival time of the text message, the first letter of the first word of the text message, and the first letter of the last word of the second sentence of the text message, so it is difficult for others to disguise it.
At this time, the bald man took their cell phones and said, "Except for the two of you, no one else can know this news. You also know the target location. Now immediately gather the extraordinary people who are not related to the target to surround and capture them."
"Why not just follow the Countermeasures Bureau's orders and let the target walk into the encirclement on his own?" Li Dan suddenly asked.
The bald man looked at him deeply and said, "We only learned the detailed arrest plan on the plane. The method you mentioned was rejected by your country's extraordinary people, because the target has learned the spell "Detective Eye" that can enhance the sixth sense and find various clues from clues. Therefore, any contact that may arouse the other party's suspicion cannot be carried out. Instead, the most direct arrest will leave her no chance to escape."
"Moreover, the enemy has the characteristic of 'the more fearful people there are, the stronger they are'. She is very likely to find out that she has been exposed. But now that she knows that there are fewer people, she is hoping for the best and chooses to remain dormant. Any temptation at this time will make her escape directly!"
The bald man looked at Li Dan and said, "I have reason to doubt whether you want to inform the target in this way."
Li Dan said calmly: "I am just offering my suggestions from my standpoint. Your accusation is not valid. I will do my best to help you achieve your goal."
"I hope so." The bald man said in a low voice: "I am here for both official business and personal revenge. If the operation goes smoothly, I am willing to apologize for my doubts... Just catch her, or kill her!"
The murderous intent and hatred hidden in his words were not concealed at all, and Yu Kuangtu had to remind him: "The order only says to arrest, and the target is only the suspect. We will only take arrest as the first course of action..."
The bald man took out a mirror from his windbreaker. The mirror was round, with gorgeous silver carvings on the frame, but the mirror surface was as black as black crystal. Even though the waiting room was well lit, Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan could not see any reflection of themselves in it.
"Black Mirror." The bald man introduced, and then he activated his spiritual energy, and the Black Mirror emitted an invisible light, passing through the bodies of Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan.
The two of them felt nothing, but Yu Kuangtu said thoughtfully: "This is... the instrument you use to test whether the extraordinary people have killing spells?"
"Killing spell? In the Federation, this is called 'Unforgivable Power'." The bald man said, "Any sinner who strengthens himself by hurting others will be exposed in front of the black mirror. The black mirror will illuminate the bloody figure of the sinner truthfully!"
"If the target is wrongly accused, we can use the Black Mirror to prove her innocence on the spot; but if not... no matter what you do, I will do everything I can to kill her on the spot!"
The bald man's voice was as deep as that of a dying beast, and every note seemed to burst out from the folds of injured internal organs: "Whoever stands in my way will die! I will never let the Demon King leave my sight alive!"
At this time, a watcher behind him said: "Will you hold back because of the friendship between colleagues? It seems that you are still friends?"
Yu Kuangtu looked at the black mirror carefully, raised his head and looked at them, slightly lowered his eyelids, and said calmly: "If she had not escaped and accepted the arrest of the Countermeasures Bureau, I would not let you harm a law-abiding citizen, a deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau;
If the black mirror was on her and nothing happened, I would not let you hurt my friend;
But if she chooses to resist, and the black mirror reveals her sins…”
A ray of golden flame suddenly appeared on Kuang Tu's palm, and the glow of the flame was reflected in his clear pupils.
"Then I will, as the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, make sure she receives the proper trial."
…
"I'll take this set of clothes that are more resistant to dirt. But I should be able to buy some when we get over there. Hey, I actually have a new pair of pants."
"Luckily I used the Ability Fusion Inscription Rune, so I don't need to bring any healing spells, and there are a few more slots in the spare column. Ah, I can finally use the "Unlimited Fried Chicken Set" this time..."
"There are also masks and headphones..."
After everything was ready, Ren Suo took out his cell phone and opened it. There was no other information except for the late-night chat records of a few idiots in a few idiot groups.
Ren Suo smiled. It was okay for You Jian, but Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan really did not inform him. He didn't know whether they were banned from communicating or for other reasons.
Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan should be rushing over to Tianlian College now. If they want to inform Qiao Muyi and Ren Suo, they will definitely have a chance... but they are countermeasure monks.
Recalling the 'Coyote' and 'Sleepless' in other endings, Ren Suo couldn't help but smile.
I am going to save your lives now, otherwise you will be beaten to death by Qiu Muyi in the physical sense... Unfortunately you don't know.
However, if I was the one who was wrongly accused, would they have notified me in advance?
This thought crossed Ren Suo's mind, but he quickly came to the answer: No.
They will definitely catch me and protect me, and then try their best to collect evidence to prove my innocence.
If Qiao Muyi had not been confirmed to be the Demon King, they would have done so - Ren Suo still remembered that at the very beginning of the game, 'Coyote' and 'Wumian' firmly believed in 'Master Mu's' innocence and hoped that 'Master Mu' would go back to assist in the investigation.
Even though Ren Suo has ties with them, they are still equal - Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan have their own worldviews, their own ways of doing things, and their own likes and dislikes.
They will never show favoritism, and being possessed by the devil is like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, forcing them to stay rational and stick to their principles at all times.
They will help their friends in their own way.
Just as Ren Suo was about to do.
Ren Suo walked into Xiao Jiu's room, leaned over and kissed her face, whispering, "These few days...you must listen to Sister Ling in the future."
He walked into the living room and thought about what else he had to deal with in the next few days and what he had to arrange in advance.
So he sent a text message to his mother: "I'm busy these days. I'll go back to eat hot pot later when the weather is cooler."
I sent a WeChat message to Gu Yueyan: "The paper is not urgent. I may not have time to finish it until seven or eight days later. You can take your time."
Ren Suo was looking at his phone when his body suddenly trembled and a chill ran through his heart.
What's going on? Last words?
"It's not like I'm going to die for sure." Ren Suo muttered, and his tone suddenly became more certain, as if he was cheering himself up: "Well, it's just a sneak trip abroad, an in-depth trip, and a full eight-day trip... It's awesome!"
Ren Suo went to pee, and when he was ready, he was about to leave the house when he suddenly thought of a problem - the surveillance cameras at the stairs and elevator would see the whole process of his going to Dong Chengling's house.
So he walked to the balcony and looked at the distance between his home and Dong Chengling's home.
So far!
Although the straight-line distance is very close, Ren Suo can't pass through walls, let alone fly!
"Meow?"
A dark shadow fell on the air conditioner outside the balcony.
It was Black Bell. It seemed very curious about why Ren Suo appeared on the balcony at dawn. It stared at Ren Suo for several seconds before jumping to the air conditioner unit below and then jumped to the bottom of the dormitory building step by step.
Ren Suo looked at the air conditioner outside and blinked.
"Fortunately, Cheng Ling didn't make me fat..."
He muttered something, jumped up, and jumped out of the balcony. He landed on all fours like a cat and landed lightly on the air conditioner outdoor unit without making a sound.
