nChapter 19

n“You can call me Captain from now on.”

nChen Jing seemed to have been next to the phone. She answered the phone quickly every time, and her answer was also brief and concise. “What did you find?”

n“It’s a little strange. He was like this…”

nLu Xin said whatever he heard from Qin Ran to her.

nIt was his first mission. He spoke very seriously but was also worried that he would leave out something and his wages would be deducted.

n“You managed to get something out of him so quickly?”

nChen Jing was obviously surprised, but she still quickly replied in a calm voice, “You did a good job, I can confirm that this is another psyche corruption incident. I will organize a corruption investigation team to immediately follow up… Right, where are you at currently?”

n“Square Transportation Company… in the backyard…”

nLu Xin reported his location and then carefully asked, “What do I do now?”

n“Wait there.”

nChen Jing said, “A three-person team will soon go over and meet you. You should follow them to investigate. They’re very experienced veterans. But, you need to remember that you’re the psyche mutant, sometimes their experience has no advantage in front of your intuition. So, you should lead the investigation in the future. They should be following your command.

n“But for now, considering your lack of experience, I will lead the investigation this time.

n“By radio.”

n“…”

nChen Jing hung up the phone fiercely, and Lu Xin was left mumbling. “The payment…”

nBored, his sister climbed onto the garage next to her and squatted there to look at the moon.

nQin Ran’s fear and curiosity couldn’t be suppressed. He took a few steps toward Lu Xin and did not dare to get too close. He subconsciously looked at him and did not want to make it obvious. Therefore, he stood a distance away and pretended to be calm. “What are you… doing?”

nLu Xin didn’t want him to find out that he was a newbie, so he replied calmly, “Temporarily waiting.”

nSo, the two of them waited for ten minutes…

n…until the atmosphere was so awkward that no one knew how to break the mood. Suddenly, an emergency brake sound was heard and a black jeep drove into the company at a high speed. With its heavy and solid body, it arrived with a cold and hard temperament. Straight after it arrived, it turned half a lap in the plaza, before the door opened and three heavily armed personnel jumped down from the car.

nNone of the brave employees in the company dared to make loud noises.

nThen, one of the armed personnel walked to Lu Xin with big strides, gripped the gun in his arm with force, and stood at attention.

n“Mr. Lu Xin, the special corruption investigation team from the second city has been sent by Major Chen to meet you!”

n“…”

nLu Xin subconsciously followed him and stood upright. He thought,

nHe called me mister…

nHow formal.

nThen, he smiled and explained, “You can just call me Xiao Lu…”

nThe other party was expressionless. “Yes, Mr. Lu Xin!”

n…

nThe style of the armed men sent by Chen Jing was as fierce as their appearance. After meeting Lu Xin, two armed men returned to the car. After a round of inspection, several kinds of sophisticated instruments that seemed to have many tentacles as well as complex and complicated locks were installed on the roof of the car as everyone watched in awe.

nThen, the leader of the armed personnel, Cheng Hui, passed Lu Xin a black box.

nLu Xin maintained his calm expression and movements so that he didn’t look like a rookie. He opened the box and saw an earpiece with ear buckles in the black sponges. He looked up and saw that the armed men also had these earphones on each of their ears. Therefore, without needing to be taught, he picked them up and put them on his ears.

nThen, he waited for a while and did not know what to do next.

nWithout a word, the armed man stepped forward and helped him press a button before silently backing away.

nA female electronic voice was heard from the earpiece.

n“Investigation team line access…”

n“Information analysis team line access…”

n“Coordinators line access…”

n“…”

nLu Xin looked at the armed officer gratefully.

n“Lu Xin, the supernumerary member of the operational investigation team, repeat your findings from the investigation!”

nAfter three consecutive sets of signal access, Chen Jing’s voice was heard from the earpiece. It was direct and cold.

nLu Xin knew that it was an important time for work and did not dare to be careless. He repeated whatever he had reported to Chen Jing, and she did not stop him. After hearing what he said, she spoke calmly, “Information Analysis Team!”

n“Hello, Mr. Lu Xin. I’m Corporal Han Bing from the Information Analysis Team. I’ll be providing you with information on behalf of our team.”

nOnce again, he heard a voice that seemed a little sweet and a little soft and cowardly, but she spoke in a very clear and organized manner.

n“First, information on this incident:

nTentative number: Class D Special Corruption Source—041

nTarget level: To be determined

nCorruption level: Suspected low level

nThreat level: Suspected low level

nPerson of interest: Qin Ran, Qinggang Second Satellite City Square Transportation Company”

n“…”

n“From Mr. Lu Xin’s report, it’s likely that this is a new type of psyche corruption incident that has not been recorded before. Suggested targeted measures are: first, immediately investigate to find out where the source of corruption is and carry out cleanup work.

n“Second, directly imprison the relevant personnel Qin Ran and wait for the corrupted people to come. Observe the subsequent changes and collect clues.

n“If necessary, you can choose to send Qin Ran to the other side to kill, in order to cut off the other side’s logic chain!”

n“…”

n“Ah?”

nLu Xin was stunned when he heard that.

nIt was the first time he was exposed to such an operation, so his reaction was a little slow.

nFor example, he didn’t think that he would face so many avengers. Sending people to be killed was an option?

n“This is your first time participating in an official investigation. It’s also a chance to learn.”

nChen Jing’s voice rang in the earpiece. “In the future, every time you go out in the field, a specific Information Analysis Team will be assigned to assist you in terms of technical support. They will help you analyze and provide information and give you suggestions. You should adapt to this mode as soon as possible.”

nLu Xin immediately understood that Chen Jing was teaching him and nodded. “Alright!”

nThen, she explained, “Sometimes, trying to meet the specific needs of the source of contamination first is a method to weaken the intensity of the psyche fluctuations of the source of corruption too. We take the opportunity to find clues or even a good way to clean up. There were cases where the source of contamination disappeared on its own after meeting the characteristic needs of the source of corruption, but at the moment, there’s insufficient information for the 041 contamination event, so we shall not adopt it for the time being.

n“My suggestion is to immediately proceed with the investigation, find the location of the corruption, and carry out the cleanup.”

n“…”

nCorporal Han Bing’s voice immediately rang.

n“Then, the primary direction of the proposed investigation is: The location of Qin Ran’s first murder and the location where the corpse was disposed of!”
