Suddenly, the office hall outside erupted with activity. The doors burst open, and a group led by Marcel swiftly entered, followed by two other directors and a large contingent of special agents.
Every one of them wore a smile; clearly, the operation had been a resounding success.
...
Marcus and the other two had received the retreat signal just as Chen Gu and his team entered the building's deepest chamber.
However, they found themselves mired in a fierce battle. Initially, it was only the Mad King's n relentlessly pursuing them. Then, the Night King's forces joined the fray, escalating it into a three-way lee. Soon after, the underworld erupted in gunfire, transforming into a terrifying battlefield of slaughter.
All three were wounded and returned to the branch office in a wretched state, only to receive two pieces of news that left them even more dejected:
The first was that the "shadow team" led by Chen Gu, under the cover provided by their more conspicuous "overt team," had successfully completed the mission and secured the box.
Well, this was the plan laid out by the Branch Chief and Director i. The higher-ups had their reasons. Since the mission was a success anyway, Marcus and his team, despite their annoyance, could only grumble to i Lixue. They didn't really harbor any ill will towards Chen Gu. After all, what could he have done? He was simply following orders.
The second piece of news was that while they were engaged in the "Gods' Poison" operation, the branch office had concentrated its forces. Three departnts launched simultaneous operations, capturing a Secretary-General from the city governnt.
This was a big fish!
Recently, both the police force and the branch office had experienced several information leaks. Examples included Zhao Zhenhuai and Chen Jixian being simultaneously targeted for assassination by Mutants, and the ambush by Mutants during the attempt to capture Zhou Shenyu, the District Chief of the 64th police district.
A traitor had erged within the city governnt's upper echelons, but previous leads had all gone cold. Nevertheless, the Bureau of Mystic Security had never given up.
This ti, after a thorough investigation, the Secretary-General and his cronies were caught in one fell swoop!
Marcus imdiately understood this was the true focus of the Bureau's operations. Their "Gods' Poison" mission, which had seed so crucial, was rely a smokescreen deployed by the Bureau to lull the traitorous Secretary-General into a false sense of security.
This irritated Marcus to no end.
He had thought himself the lead character, only to discover after the play was over that he was just an insignificant extra! The source of thɪs content is Nove1Fire
He wanted to visit Chen Gu but was inford that his own team mbers were still in quarantine, awaiting confirmation that they hadn't been contaminated. Marcus stord ho in a huff.
This ti, even the normally gentle lincha was displeased. She watched as agents from the other three departnts jovially discussed and boasted about their high-profile arrests. Frustrated, she put on her headphones, slung her large backpack over her shoulder, and left the building.
Her team had risked life and limb in the "Gods' Poison" operation and the underworld, yet these people had rely strolled through the city governnt offices and were now lauded for greater achievents.
Silver Eagle, who initially had reservations about the existence of the shadow team, felt even more aggrieved upon learning about the city governnt operation. What shadow team? What Chen Gu? They were insignificant! A classic case of internal conflict. The other three teams were the real enemy—despicable thieves, stealing the credit! How could such a high-profile operation, one ripe with glory and rit, exclude , Silver Eagle, a paragon of looks and skill? Unforgivable!
...
i Lixue submitted her report to headquarters and imdiately received an order: Qing Ruyan was to personally take over Chen Gu's monitoring.
The Bureau of Mystic Security, with its extensive experience combating the Endless Realm, possessed a comprehensive inspection process covering both physical and psychological aspects, ensuring no potential risks remained.
After Chen Gu completed the most stringent protocols, Qing Ruyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was clear.
She was relieved for Chen Gu, and also for herself: there was no need for "her" to personally intervene and resolve any psychological issues for him. She wasn't a Brain Domain Hacker. Her sister was on a mission again, and it would be impossible for her to abandon it and return. She had almost blown her cover.
Chen Gu, on the other hand, had been quite comfortable these past few days. He only had to comply with so dical checks, his routine closely resembling an "eat-sleep, sleep-eat" lifestyle.
Qing Ruyan donned a pair of black-frad glasses, lending an intellectual charm to her beauty. As she reviewed Chen Gu's report, she inadvertently glanced at Chen Gu himself. Suddenly, that sensation she had experienced during their first encounter in Zhaojieze City returned.
There's always sothing inside his body that can unconsciously trigger my 'infatuation' trait! Could it be because of the remains? Qing Ruyan easily arrived at this conclusion. The first ti we t, Chen Gu had just integrated the remains from the Zhaojieze City branch. I only managed not to embarrass myself thanks to sedatives. During our second eting, the piece of remains within Chen Gu's body had been excised by my sister. Although I found this young man quite handso, I didn't have that sa befuddled state of mind anymore. And this ti, he has integrated another piece of remains. That damned feeling is back! How bizarre! she thought.
Then, affecting a serious expression—as if the thought 'I wonder what we should na the baby?' had never crossed her mind—she said to Chen Gu, "Report to the Bureau anyti these next few days. Take a leave of absence for now; don't attend classes to avoid contact with too many people. The dical experts from headquarters will arrive tomorrow..."
"Again?" Chen Gu wailed, then waved his hand in resignation. "Forget it. I'm used to it."
He walked out, complaining as he went, "What does it have to do with ? I didn't want to absorb all those ssy things; they just barged in on their own..."
Chen Gu returned to the Group Five office, which was now deserted.
During the days he was undergoing tests, the rewards for the major operation conducted by the other three divisions had already been distributed. Every special agent who participated received at least five hundred rit points!
The top earner received two thousand!
This drove the cash-strapped Captain Marcus into a severe fit of jealousy, and he hadn't shown up for work in days.
What had those guys even done? The city governnt operation was ticulously planned, and they were all equipped with specialized gear to restrain Mutants. A surprise raid, they deploy their gear—BAM! BAM!—and the lurking Mutants were subdued. They faced no real resistance and just raked in rit points like that?! Life is so unfair!
Chen Gu considered it. Maybe I should take a break too; otherwise, I'll seem too out of sync with everyone else.
He claid his personal belongings, which had been held for safekeeping by the branch.
Among these were the "Silent Tuning Fork," "The Roar of Mokosaro," and the demonic spear "Monster Moon."
Neither Gorilla nor Man Suling had reported these three spoils of war, but it was obvious to anyone that they were extraordinary items.
i Lixue secretly inspected them, confird they posed no threat of contamination or corruption, and then feigned ignorance.
Everyone believed it was the compensation Chen Gu rightfully deserved.
