"Senior Chen Cheng, we were just about to capture the leader."
Although the leader had escaped, Lu Mingjing's tone did not sound disappointed at this time: "Senior Chen Cheng, how did you do it? It's amazing! You actually found the leader's trace in such a short time."
"Well... I have my own method of speculation, but it's not very accurate. I was just lucky this time." Chen Cheng said coaxingly. He didn't dare tell Lu Mingjing that the clues were given by those aunties who lived in seclusion in the city, for fear of discouraging them, the professionals.
"That being said, the leader is incredibly perceptive. Even if we try our best to hide ourselves, he'll still be able to spot us."
Lu Mingjing frowned slightly: "In this case, it will be difficult to even see him, let alone catch him."
Shen Cheng on the other end of the phone pinched his chin and thought about it.
Lu Mingjing was right. If they wanted to capture the leader, they had to either find a way to restrict his movements or act faster than him, preferably to achieve the effect of surprise.
Chen Ziming has already given the answer to the method of restricting the actions of shadow-type mutants, and that is the flash bomb.
However, unless the enemy's position is 100% certain and the area is remote, throwing flash grenades randomly may cause large-scale accidental casualties.
"Let me investigate with you." Shen Cheng said solemnly: "I have the ability of Crow Huanya, and my reaction is more sensitive. I should be of great help."
In the carpet search, Shen Cheng couldn't help much, but in the current targeted search, Shen Cheng can show his role.
"...In that case, Senior Shen Cheng, I will assign you a team for your command. Senior Shen Cheng, you will continue to search for the leader's whereabouts based on your own speculation, and we will continue to conduct a carpet search and cooperate with you, Senior Shen Cheng."
"I'll command...the troops?" Shen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.
If there is one thing that Shen Cheng is least good at, it is leading a team.
“After all, Senior Chen Cheng, you also said that your speculation method is not accurate. We should focus on a large-scale search. Even if we can’t catch him, we can prevent him from developing his own power.”
To put it bluntly, Lu Mingjing still placed great hopes on Shen Cheng.
Chen Cheng sighed: "Doesn't the Institute of Biological Sciences have any means to influence the ability of people with special abilities to use their special abilities?"
"Every psychic's genetic traits vary, and their reactions to the natural environment are also different. Aside from the fact that they're all human, it's hard to find any commonalities. Therefore, it's impossible to create a tool that can suppress all psychics. Perhaps we can create technology to control fire psychics, but there's definitely no way to affect water psychics. It's like using a wrench to tighten a screw..."
Listening to Lu Mingjing's explanation, Shen Cheng seemed to be back in high school class for a moment.
In the fog, I don't quite understand...
Anyway, the general meaning is that every psychic has a different concept of existence, and the current level of technology cannot develop a weapon that can control all psychics at once.
Just like the psychic ability of the bird Phantom, only by studying this psychic ability can we have the means to fight against it. It is impossible to develop weapons that can fight against all psychic abilities just by studying only one psychic ability.
The matter was finalized. Shen Cheng, who had an intelligence network of aunties from all over Mio City, handed the work at hand to Xi Ming, once again warned the women to be careful, and then went to meet up with Lu Mingjing.
Lu Mingjing assigned five grassroots soldiers from the Institute of Biological Sciences to Shen Cheng. Although the number was small, it was enough for Shen Cheng.
After all, Shen Cheng pursues mobility, and too many people will be a burden.
After the teams were assigned, Shen Cheng's phone rang, and a sweep operation on Mio City officially began.
…
As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.
Shen Chengtong and his five soldiers collapsed on the ground in a park, lying on their backs, each of them exhausted.
Under the enthusiastic reporting of the ladies in Mio City, they ran around Mio City for a whole day. They did find the leader's trace several times, but he escaped in the end.
But most of the people they caught were petty thieves and criminals who had nothing to do with this incident.
There are those who steal batteries, steal wallets, lend money at high interest rates, run pyramid schemes, engage in prostitution, and even kidnap children...
People like these were all sent to the Public Security Bureau by Chen Cheng. I heard that the cells in the Public Security Bureau are almost full now...
Some petty thieves were simply sent to the neighboring city by the Public Security Bureau.
If he hadn't experienced what happened that day, Shen Cheng really wouldn't have known that there were so many dark corners in Mio City.
At the same time, Shen Cheng couldn't help but secretly sigh at the powerful intelligence capabilities of these aunties.
"Damn it! That human trafficker really pissed me off!" A soldier pounded his chest and said, "I just want to shoot him!"
"Don't worry, he'll definitely want some peanuts. Right now, the priority is the leader." Another soldier rubbed his temple and said, "He's like a loach, impossible to catch no matter what. It's so frustrating."
"Hey, Officer Shen!" A soldier sat up and smiled at Shen Cheng, "Shall we continue tomorrow?"
Hearing this, the other four soldiers also turned their gazes to Shen Cheng.
At night, another team began the search. After all, they couldn't carry out such operations day and night.
Shen Cheng nodded vigorously: "Continue!"
Whether it was to capture the leader or to clear the dark corners of Mio City, there was no reason for Shen Cheng to stop here.
Now that you know that you have something to do, you can't just turn a blind eye.
After saying that, Shen Cheng stood up, dusted himself off, and glanced at the soldiers in front of him: "Now, disband! Be careful to conserve your energy, you may be even more tired tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Several soldiers quickly stood up straight and responded solemnly.
…
He staggered all the way back to the cat cafe, which was closed at this time. Shen Cheng went upstairs and lay down on the sofa with a tired look on his face.
"Master, what's wrong with you, meow?" Cheese, who was about to pounce on Chen Cheng, saw the fatigue on Chen Cheng's face, stopped, squatted beside Shen Cheng, and poked Chen Cheng's cheek.
“Cheese, Shen Cheng is very tired, let him have a good rest.”
Liusu came up and said to Cheese.
Chen Cheng turned his head and saw Liu Su dressed neatly at this time. He was slightly startled: "Are you going out?"
"I'll be in charge of the night shift," Liusu replied with a smile. "After all, I'm Mio City's permanent special agent, so I definitely have to participate in this kind of operation. Coincidentally, I have the ability of night vision, and I also have Ye Xi's feathers on me, so I can pose a threat to that leader."
Possessing Ye Xi's feathers means that she can also use Crow Huanya's hallucinogenic ability, allowing Liu Su to replace Chen Cheng during the day at night.
"Then you must pay attention to safety."
"Well, don't worry."
