Suddenly, that familiar voice appeared in the cold room, and the young swordsman was so scared that he almost sprang up from the sickbed, had it not been for the bespectacled man who pushed him back down.
He turned his head.
And quickly locked onto the source of the sound—the computer across from him.
The computer, which had been in sleep mode, was now on, the speakers emitting a static noise.
The room fell silent all at once.
Such silence was startling to the eyes and the heart.
The girl next to him had already quietly drawn her longbow.
It was the bespectacled man who first recovered from the initial panic, warily saying to the computer, “Sorry, senior, we have no intention of joining Boss Cai’s ranks. We aspire to become Transcendents, and a gang is not our choice.”
“Gang?” That hoarse and mysterious voice came through the speaker: “Do you think I am one of Cai Weiqian’s men?”
The three, including the bespectacled man, were startled.
“Is it not so?”
“Why should a businessman like him command me? To tell you the truth, Boss Cai racked his brains trying to forge a connection with our boss and in the end, he was only able to assign me to take care of his trifles…”
The bespectacled man’s gaze flickered with surprise, catching the key point from the conversation just now, and couldn’t help but say, “Senior, do you mean to say there’s an Extraordinary Organization behind you?”
“Yes,” came the reply.
“Then you all…” The young swordsman couldn’t help but want to ask a question as well.
But he was interrupted: “Do you come or not? If you weren’t true to your word, I wouldn’t bother with you at all. You’re too weak; our organization doesn’t take in trash.”
The young swordsman’s face instantly turned green.
The girl holding the bow and arrow also had an unsightly expression, but she knew the other part was not wrong.
Only the bespectacled man’s face didn’t change at all: “Senior, we will never do things that go against our conscience.”
“Don’t worry, we are the Justice League,” said that voice from the speaker, lazily.
“So what do we need to do?”
“When there’s a mission, you’ll be contacted. Depending on your performance, the organization will allocate cultivation resources to you.”
“Is there a technique?” the young swordsman couldn’t help asking.
“Of course.”
Upon receiving a positive response, the young swordsman eagerly turned to the bespectacled man, “Brother?”
The girl holding the bow and arrow also put down her weapon.
The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses.
After a moment.
“We’ll join…”
“A wise choice.”
In the park.
Pei Jinye stretched out lazily, making his way back home.
The matter of the three free workers didn’t weigh heavily on his mind.
As for the three with the bespectacled man, they waited for a moment but heard no more sounds.
“Senior?”
After calling out three times and receiving no response, the bespectacled man finally let out a sigh of relief.
“What a terrifying person…”
The girl archer by his side immediately unplugged the network cable, looking at the computer screen that had gone completely black, satisfied: “Now he can’t monitor us anymore.”
“But isn’t he from the Body Technique System? Why would he understand hacker skills?” On the sickbed, the young swordsman couldn’t help but wonder.
The girl archer said without a good temper: “Didn’t I tell you? They have an organization; isn’t it normal for them to have a hacker?”
“That’s true…” The young swordsman laughed awkwardly: “Why would such a powerful person cooperate with a black market merchant like Cai Weiqian?”
“Obviously for money,” the girl archer couldn’t help but retort, “What’s with all the questions!”
The young swordsman shrank his neck, not daring to ask anything more.
The bespectacled man let out a soft sigh: “All those forces that tried to win us over before asked us to kill or to threaten… Now that we’ve joined this organization…”
His words hung in the air.
He suddenly froze.
What was the name of this organization?
“What’s wrong, brother?” The young swordsman looked over.
The bespectacled man snapped back to reality… Perhaps we’re not yet qualified enough to know?
He composed himself and spoke quietly, “Let’s test the waters. If they’re just as unscrupulous as those other organizations, we’ll pull out right away.”
“What if, like last time, they refuse to let us go?” the girl archer asked worriedly.
“Either we leave this place and return later to settle the score, or we don’t get the chance to fight back at all, getting killed…” The bespectacled man declared decisively, “From the fact that he didn’t kill us right away last night, it can be seen that the people in this organization still have a conscience. Perhaps we really have found where we belong.”
Night fell.
Pei Jinye practiced [Great Dream of Thousands of Autumns].
To temper his body and cultivate Vitality during the day, and to train his psychic power at night… If he kept this up day after day, month after month, even he himself didn’t know how powerful he could eventually become.
Of course, there was a premise…whether certain people lurking in the shadows were willing to give him the chance to grow.
A night without words.
After his morning run ended, Pei Jinye began practicing the Play of Five Animals in the park.
With limbs off the ground, the first three throws, then two throws, stretching his waist, legs to the side looking at the sky, resembling a clever tiger…
After completing a set of movements.
Pei Jinye once again felt a warmth in his body, a sensation of comfort.
His gaze swept away.
A green Attribute Light Group floated on the grass not far away.
He reached out to touch it.
[Psychic Power +2]
“Directly adding two points?” Pei Jinye was a bit surprised.
He pulled up his attributes panel.
[Vitality Value]: 18.6-18.6;
[Stamina]: 18.2-18.2 (average value for an ordinary person is 1);
[Psychic Power]: 17.8-19.8;
“All three attributes have reached their peak!”
“I had never thought that my proudest Stamina would now be the least…”
Pei Jinye chuckled to himself.
But he was quite pleased as he withdrew his gaze.
A three-day holiday is neither too short nor too long, yet it seems to fly by in the blink of an eye.
“Strange.”
Pei Jinye noticed that Brother Bi hadn’t replied to his messages since last night.
“Is this mission that tough?”
Half a day had passed, and there was still no word from Brother Bi.
A sense of foreboding grew in Pei Jinye’s heart.
He took the light rail.
Pulled out his phone and checked it.
The messages he sent last night were still unread.
After a more than twenty-minute ride.
Pei Jinye arrived at a station near the base.
He walked for a few more minutes and reached the entrance to the base, where after an iris scan, he expertly made his way inside.
However, he couldn’t find Brother Bi anywhere after looking all around.
Instead, the Big Black Dog saw him from afar, ran over with a chain in its mouth, and enthusiastically rubbed against him.
Pei Jinye patted the big fellow’s head: “I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’ve put on weight, huh? Have you been causing trouble with those police dogs lately?”
The Big Black Dog wagged its tail furiously.
It seemed as long as it wasn’t forced to be neutered, everything else was fine.
The communicator on his shoulder suddenly beeped.
[Teammate Pei Jinye, hello, your holiday is officially over, please go to the personnel department to cancel your leave. The optimal route has been planned, please follow the orange lights along the road…]
Seeing this, Pei Jinye gently patted the Big Black Dog’s head: “Alright, I have to work now, go play by yourself.”
The Big Black Dog reluctantly withdrew its gaze, and only after Pei Jinye disappeared at the end of his vision did it stop wagging its tail eagerly. It turned away as if it had finally been rid of the boss and went back to its den to start dozing with a yawn after yawn.
It acted completely indifferent to Old Zhang’s calls.
“You rascal… I’ve been feeding you all the good stuff, and you can’t even look at me?”
The Big Black Dog did lift its head to give Old Zhang a glance, then closed its eyes again to rest.
Old Zhang was so irritated he could have run into the house to grab an assault rifle and open fire on it.
Perhaps it was Old Zhang’s harsh words, but the Big Black Dog responded with a whimper. The police dogs from the nearby Seventh Group all got up and looked over in anticipation.
Gathering together to gossip.
After canceling his leave, Pei Jinye immediately received a meeting notification from Second Group Leader Xie Zuxin.
Inside office 401.
Xie Zuxin handed over a stack of materials: “This is the information on Laboratory No.13. Take it and look it over, you’ll follow the team to investigate in half an hour.”
“Understood,” Pei Jinye couldn’t help but ask, “Leader, where is Brother Bi?”
“You don’t know?” Xie Zuxin raised an eyebrow and his narrow jaw resembled a shoehorn as he calmly said, “Old Niu was in a car accident last night and is currently being rescued.”
“A car accident?”
Pei Jinye immediately inquired, “Is it an ordinary accident or…”
“Focus on your mission first. The Night Patrol Department will give us a response regarding Old Niu’s accident,” Xie Zuxin seemed to have a lot on his plate, effectively giving Pei Jinye the brush-off.
Pei Jinye subtly withdrew his gaze.
Xie Zuxin’s indifferent attitude annoyed him a bit.
But maybe he really was busy…
Busy figuring out how to get to the underworld!
After exiting the office building, Pei Jinye made a call to Brother Kui of the Seventh Group.
The first call went unanswered.
Within a few seconds, Brother Kui rang him back.
“I was busy just now, what’s up Jinye?”
“I wanted to ask Brother Kui about the matter Brother Bi was busy with.”
“It seems like he was busy with something about Laboratory No.13, right?”
“Right, that’s the one. You know about this lab too, Brother Kui?”
“I do, I pulled the records after Old Niu had his accident…”
Soon, what Brother Kui said caught Pei Jinye’s attention.
According to him, Brother Bi had been busy with Laboratory No.13 for the past couple of days, seemingly onto some clue, though what that clue was remained uncertain.
It was past eleven o’clock last night when he unexpectedly met with an accident.
The coincidence of the accident was too much like silencing a witness.
“Laboratory No.13… seems there really is an issue.”
Pei Jinye took another look at the materials he held.
The intelligence on the lab was detailed… A private enterprise research institute, specializing in biomedical research, that had collaborated with some official agencies under the city hall, had been shut down before, but had restarted collaboration at the beginning of the year.
Pei Jinye fell into contemplation.
Thirty minutes later.
Pei Jinye met the action team for this mission.
There were five team members.
Everyone seemed calm about Pei Jinye’s arrival.
They seemed to understand he was a newcomer and didn’t make a special effort to get acquainted.
Moreover, the mission had come unexpectedly and having their holidays disrupted, it was natural for them to not be pleased.
The temporary team leader responsible for this operation was named Fan Dahai, and the tone of his voice always made it seem like he was about to start a fight at any moment.
Pei Jinye stood quietly in the back of the crowd.
And followed the team into the research institute.
The person in charge at Laboratory No.13 seemed to have been waiting for a while; upon seeing Fan Dahai leading the team, he immediately put on a smile and attempted a handshake.
But Fan Dahai had no intention of shaking hands, and his tone was blunt, “You’ve already received the search notice, right? I won’t waste words – do not obstruct the search process, or else you will be detained on the spot, and if you resist, we will shoot on sight!”
“Understood, understood, that chief from a few days ago already went over the rules with us,” the person in charge continued with a strained smile, “Didn’t that chief just visit recently, why have you folks come again?”
“Cut the crap, you’d better pray I don’t find anything,” Fan Dahai interrupted impatiently.
He strode ahead, with the staff on either side already prepared with their equipment.
Pei Jinye was assigned a searching task, and he started looking for suspicious gases with the others nearby.
Some annoyance flashed in the eyes of the person in charge, but with no daring to speak out, he could only watch them leave with a submissive posture.
Fan Dahai lead the way, his voice carrying back, “Two days ago, there was an energy fluctuation here, suspected to be a toxic gas leak… According to Xing Tian’s analysis, it was a Transcendent’s doing, what we need to do now is confirm their identity… Once spotted, arrest them immediately.”
“Brother Fan, if this research institute has problems too, should we…?”
Fan Dahai didn’t turn back.
“Arrest them all, and if there’s resistance, you’re authorized to kill!”
