Cannon Fodder Counterattack System (Twenty-three)

Two hours later, Chen Jin returned to the infirmary.

The medical staff who had already woken up was sitting in a chair rubbing his head while looking at the test form in his hand.

Noticing his superior coming in, he immediately stood up and said, "Reporting to the commander, the injuries of the two have basically healed, and their energy has been replenished in time."

"Um."

Chen Jin nodded to the medical staff, then looked at the two people sitting on the single beds, "How was your rest?"

Cui Lan tugged at her scarf and said, "Almost."

"That's good. Let's go."

Chen Jin turned his back and motioned for the two to follow.

Shang Li, who had disappeared, grabbed Cui Lan's neck with his arms from behind and swung out right under the old man's nose, sticking close to the man.

After walking left and right in the quiet corridor for a while, they arrived at the prepared meeting room.

Chen Jin personally opened the door and let the young people behind him in.

Several sharp gazes instantly focused on Cui Lan, the first person to enter.

Cui Lan seemed to be completely unaware as she calmly pulled out a chair and sat in one of the empty seats.

Number Two also quickly put on a gentle smile, not showing any embarrassment.

Shang Li, who should have been ignored, raised his eyelids and began to look around boldly.

There were already two people sitting in this very small conference room, a man and a woman. Both of them looked very impressive and their positions must not be very low.

Even so, he was only somewhat familiar with the woman with short hair cut to the chin - he had met her once outside the field.

After all, Shang Li never really worked in the Supernatural Bureau.

"It shouldn't have caused such a big fuss."

After silently scanning everyone, Cui Lan said to Shang Li through telepathy: "Most of those who came are strong men from the Action Department."

Shang Li: “Hmm?”

"Captain of the first team of the Operations Department. His special ability is mastery of firearms."

Cui Lan motioned him to look at the man with a crew cut sitting on the far left, "If nothing had happened that year, we should have joined his team."

"It sounds like you know him well."

The ghost gently poked his partner's face with his finger.

"As it should be. After I defected from the Superpower Bureau, this group was the most active in catching me."

Cui Lan glanced at Shang Li silently and said, "To some extent, you have a good relationship with him."

"ha?"

"I often see him and you... and the time traveler on your body arm in arm."

Cui Lan said in a calm tone, "Every time I remove the time traveler from you, this old man with a buzz cut always looks like his father has died."

"...Don't just claim me as your son, Xiao Cui."

Shang Li muttered.

Having said that, he could tell from the look in the man with the crew cut looking at No. 2 that the relationship between the two in this timeline was average, and not as deep as Cui Lan said, like the father-son relationship in their own timeline.

Cui Lan then turned her attention to the short-haired woman next to the buzz-cut man and continued to introduce her to Shang Li, "During this period, she should still be the leader of the third team of the Operations Department."

"It's worth noting that her abilities are similar to yours in some ways."

"Ghost?"

"No, it's an information-based auxiliary ability." Cui Lan said, "But I don't know what it is specifically."

"Sir, who is this?"

The man with a crew cut pointed at Cui Lan and asked Chen Jin with interest.

While Shang Li and Cui Lan were quietly commenting on the three people, the three people in the conference room were also looking at this stranger who suddenly appeared.

"Didn't I teach you to be polite?"

Chen Jin knocked on the table with a serious expression, and then said, "These are the innocent people Shang Li met in the rift."

"Any information about Jiang Mingyu cannot be easily overlooked. As an eyewitness to the incident, he may have some important details that we need."

"Looks pretty strong."

The crew-haired man whistled, "I almost thought it was some big shot who had hidden his identity."

Cui Lan crossed her arms, pretending not to hear anything.

The short-haired woman expressed doubt: "Sir, I think it is inappropriate to allow innocent people to participate in the meeting."

"If it's just about providing information, why don't we..."

"Oh, it's okay."

The buzz cut man interrupted the short-haired woman and said, "After all, this gentleman seems to be very familiar with the Supernatural Bureau. I guess they deal with them often."

Needless to say, the implication is that they suspect he is a member of some underground supernatural organization.

After all, there have been cases in the past where an illegal supernatural organization pretended to be an innocent person and sought cooperation from the Supernatural Bureau in order to eliminate opposing organizations or supernatural people.

"Well, next time you go on a mission, you can try kneeling down and begging for mercy from your enemy."

Cui Lan calmly replied, "If you run into me, I might be merciful and let you go."

"you……"

“That’s enough!”

Chen Jin stopped several people with a loud voice, "Enough with the jokes."

"The Bureau will not arbitrarily arrest any innocent superpowers simply because they are not registered or based on pure speculation."

"We will only take action when the facts of the case are clear and there is solid evidence of a crime."

Chen Jin said to Cui Lan casually and slowly, "You don't have to worry."

"I feel relieved."

Cui Lan responded with a forced smile.

"The gentleman who has been hiding all this time, you can now show yourself without any worries."

The middle-aged man's sharp eyes fell accurately on a certain open space, which was where the ghost was.

"The energy detection equipment of the Special Power Bureau covers every corner."

Chen Jin said: "You don't want to be our enemy. The two of you are willing to come to the Supernatural Bureau. I believe you have enough trust in us and share the same goal."

“…”

After a while, everyone found that their vision began to distort, and a black and red figure slowly appeared before their eyes.

Her long, ghostly raven-colored hair was neatly draped behind her, and her bangs were longer than her eyebrows, covering half of her eyes. Her skin was pale, and her blood-red eyes and slightly raised lips made her face look sinister.

The petite and slender body is wearing a red Lolita skirt... huh?

Cui Lan blinked twice quickly, then frowned and asked in his heart: "Why did it become like this?"

"I can't possibly produce a face that looks exactly like Shang Li's."

The ghost smiled and replied, "This is so cute, I picked the face-shaping data that is very popular on the Internet recently."

Cui Lan: “…”

Never mind, as long as you like it.

He watched Shang Li jump up and down and sit in the empty seat next to him.

"I'm sorry, I mistaken you for a lady."

Chen Jin coughed lightly and quickly regained his serious expression. "Since we have reached a temporary cooperation agreement, can we talk openly about the battle plan?"

"Of course."

Shang Li said in a cute and sweet voice.

Cui Lan immediately got goosebumps all over his body. "Hey, stop it."

"?"

Shang Li expressed his dissatisfaction in the telepathic communication, "I only said two sentences."

"Shut up from now on."

"whispering sound."

Chen Jin patted No. 2, who had been standing in the corner smiling silently for a long time, and said, "Shang Li, now please describe in full what happened in the rift."

“…”

Number Two nodded with his head almost stiff from laughing, and after secretly glaring at the ghost, he walked to the small blackboard in front of the conference table.

Except for hiding some content that cannot be said, the content described by the young man is almost the same as the previous one.

"You mean Jiang Mingyu has acquired the ability to control monsters?"

On the way, the man with a crew cut raised doubts at the right time.

"It's hard to judge whether you can control your superpowers."

Number Two pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "But the monsters will definitely not harm Jiang Mingyu."

"And they are more aggressive towards other active animals besides him."

Shang Li held his face with his hands and added, "It is said that monsters love flesh and blood the most, but I don't even have a physical body, and I am still being chased and bitten."

The short-haired girl turned her head towards Cui Lan and said, "This..."

"My last name is Cui."

"Mr. Cui, could you please describe in detail what happened in the rift?"

"Um."

Cui Lan crossed his fingers and placed them on the table. He spoke calmly, "My partner and I were sleeping in an old house outside Yan City. When we woke up and opened the door, we accidentally fell into the crack."

"Then there was a sandstorm and I met Mr. Shang Li."

"Just sleeping?"

The crew-haired man suddenly asked.

Cui Lan's expression gradually became subtle when he heard this. "Do you want to hear the details?"

“…”

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the man with a crew cut.

The buzz cut guy: "Fuck, that's not what I meant!"

"I mean, entering the rift usually requires some special opportunity!"

He slammed the table and said, "Hey, did you do anything else?"

"I'm sorry, no."

Cui Lan lowered his eyes.

The meeting lasted surprisingly short, only about 20 to 30 minutes, and most of the time had nothing to do with Shang Li and Cui Lan. It was basically just the two captains and Chen Jin making guesses.

One of them was staring at the ceiling in a daze, while the other replaced the prepared tea and silently sipped the energy syrup he got from the infirmary.

Number Two remained silent most of the time, with a smile on his face and his mind wandering, only uttering a few words when called.

Soon, Chen Jin announced the end of the meeting and everyone left.

The ghost maintained the form of a girl, holding Cui Lan's arm affectionately and walked towards the exit of the Superpower Bureau, while No. 2 followed behind the two of them not too close.

"Strange, why don't I see anyone on the road?" After walking for a while, Shang Li looked around.

Cui Lan: "Most of them are probably working in the office at this time."

Number Two nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, don't be surprised."

When they arrived at the open space surrounded by a wall in front of the Supernatural Bureau building, the two people walking in front suddenly stopped.

Shang Li sighed, "Alas, when luck comes, it cannot be stopped."

"I haven't even left the Superpower Bureau yet. Is this really okay? The loss is too great."

"As long as we can capture all of you, that's fine."

A male voice responded.

The man with a crew cut appeared at the gate not far away at some point, and all the relaxed attitude he had in the conference room disappeared.

He lightly raised his right hand, and countless guns emerged from the void.

“Crack, crack, crack—”

Guns of different models formed a tight circle, surrounding the three people.

"Don't you want to explain?"

Seeing this, Cui Lan casually tapped the nearest gun barrel with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

"We've been friends for ten years, what else do you need to explain, Cui Lan?"

The short-haired girl slowly walked to the man with the buzz cut, her eyes fell on Shang Li, who had a gloomy expression, "Just as I expected, you are still alive."

"You two, you are not the only ones who can travel through time."
