Chapter 85 She felt someone was watching her



"2123/9/19 273 Street No. 2 Junior High School Infection Incident

Parasite: Verifying

Cause of infection: Unknown

Field rating and type: D-level attack type

Species: Contained (Dead)

The casualties are being verified.”

Ding Qiaoyun sent the mission report without any information to Xie Xuan, "Go up to the eighth floor and report on the mission progress with Ji Chenghong."

This was Xie Xuan's first time taking on this task, so she asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't Captain Ji be enough alone?"

Ding Qiaoyun looked up at Xie Xuan and said, "Generally speaking, the mission progress report is completed by each team leader or the team member with the highest ability level. If the reporter feels it is necessary to have other team members report as well, additional reporters can be added depending on the situation."

Just as Xie Xuan was about to speak, Ding Qiaoyun gasped and said, "But if there's more than one top-level psychic on the team, all of them will need to report. Currently, there's no case where the captain's psychic level is lower than that of the other team members, so it's completely legal for you to report."

Xie Xuan was silent for a few seconds. How come she hadn't realized before that Ding Qiaoyun, who had secretly sent her the special investigation team report and Bai Ze installation package, was such a person who followed the rules?

Ji Chenghong patted Xie Xuan's shoulder and said, "Let's go. Besides, I really don't know what happened when you dealt with the parasite underwater."

Xie Xuan sighed, "Okay."

Ji Chenghong and Xie Xuan may have other tasks to do after they finish their reports, while Sun Ruijie can go home and start his two-day vacation after checking in at the Ecological Bureau Hospital.

Xie Xuan and Ji Chenghong walked into the elevator and couldn't help but sigh again.

Ji Chenghong turned his head and looked over. "What's wrong?"

Xie Xuan shook her head. "Nothing. I just feel a little sad that my vacation has been canceled."

Ji Chenghong smiled and said, "It's just a few days. After the rainy season ends, there will be plenty of time to rest before the winter snow season arrives."

Seeing Xie Xuan's expression of disbelief, Ji Chenghong continued, "Last year, in the two months after the rainy season ended, I went out on four missions each month. Although the number of infections increased again after the snowy season began, at most it was only half of what it was during the rainy season."

After hearing what Ji Chenghong said, Xie Xuan suddenly felt hopeful about the future.

Although she could get paid for working, Xie Xuan felt that 40,000 yuan a month was enough to spend after paying off her debts.

"That's good." Xie Xuan said.

The elevator went up to the eighth floor, the elevator door opened, and the corridor was still clean and spotless pure white.

Xie Xuan had been on the job for over half a month. Except for the first time when she went up to the sixth floor to get protective clothing and a communicator, she was sent out on missions as soon as she arrived at the Ecological Bureau.

It was her first time on the eighth floor, but Ji Chenghong next to her was very familiar with the place.

"The eighth and ninth floors are offices specifically used for mission briefings and mission completion reports. When you become captain, you will have many opportunities to come here."

As soon as Ji Chenghong finished speaking, a message popped up on his and Xie Xuan's terminals at the same time.

"Please ask Team 7's Xie Xuan to come to Office 807 to complete the mission and report on the progress."

Xie Xuan closed the pop-up window and looked up. Ji Chenghong said, "I'm in Room 808. We should be in the adjacent office. Don't be nervous. Generally, these people won't deliberately embarrass you. They will guide you through the entire task process. Just answer truthfully."

But Xie Xuan felt that she might not be able to tell the truth.

The preliminary conclusion reached by the Ecological Bureau's current research on mutants is that a mutant can only possess one superpower at a time. If the mutant is infected again and has not lost control, the two spores that infect the mutant will devour the weaker one with the stronger one, and finally retain one superpower.

The supernatural power that Xie Xuan registered with the Ecological Bureau was a sharp dagger, but later Ji Chenghong and Sun Ruijie saw the transparent cage, so she couldn't hide it anymore.

Xie Xuan pondered what to say for a while, and then said to Ji Chenghong, "Okay, thank you for reminding me."

Ji Chenghong waved his hand, and the two of them were already standing at the door of two adjacent offices.

The two people raised their hands and knocked on the door at the same time, and two similar voices of "Come in" came from inside.

Xie Xuan pushed the door open and went in. The interior was still pure white. There was a long table, and behind it sat a man and a woman in white uniforms.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two of them raised their heads and stood up at the same time. The woman left her seat and poured a glass of warm water for Xie Xuan, while the man gestured for her to sit down.

They had a slightly mechanical smile on their faces, and there was a hint of darkness under their eyes. They looked like they had been working continuously for a long time without a good rest.

But this was not something Xie Xuan should worry about. She sat down across the long table and said "thank you" to the woman.

The chairs were white soft stools with armrests. Although the atmosphere of the entire office seemed depressing because of the overly clean and bright white, at least it did not look like an interrogation room.

"If you are ready, we will begin the mission progress report." said the woman.

Xie Xuan nodded, "I'm ready."

The division of labor between the two people was not what Xie Xuan had expected. The woman was responsible for guiding and asking questions, while the man was responsible for taking notes.

The woman's questions were not very detailed, but she would ask very carefully about some details, such as whether they did anything special before choosing to leave the classroom.

Xie Xuan hesitated for a moment, "I didn't. I stopped attacking the shrimp-headed man after I realized he could regenerate quickly."

The woman nodded slightly. "Based on the logistics department's on-site investigation, they've deduced that when the domain was created, the parasite divided the students in the cafeteria into different locations based on their distance from them. The closer they were to the parasite, the higher the mortality rate. However, in the farthest area, there was a small group of students who were almost all alive. Do you think it's possible that these students were in the classroom you were in at the beginning?"

Xie Xuan frowned slightly. Is this what Ji Chenghong meant by not making things difficult for the reporter?

"I don't know." Xie Xuan said.

The man recorded the facts, and the woman then asked, "What happened after you left the classroom?"

Xie Xuan also answered truthfully. She jumped out of the window and went downstairs to meet Ji Chenghong and Sun Ruijie.

The question and answer continued until the woman asked again: "Before deciding to go directly to the cafeteria, did you try to help the students on the playground?"

"Yes." After Xie Xuan said this word, she suddenly found a tiny reflective spot on the wall behind her.

"Is there a surveillance camera here?" Xie Xuan suddenly asked.

The woman smiled and nodded. "Yes, there are recording and video equipment here, which will help us improve the mission report later."

But after Xie Xuan noticed the camera on the wall, she could no longer ignore it. She always felt like a pair of eyes were looking at her through the camera.
