Chapter 591 - 575: Two Targets
One was a refined man wearing glasses, and the other was a man carrying a conspicuous gourd.
"Just two people, and we need the whole team to mobilize?"
Lin Yi put down the phone and pointed at everyone, seemingly suggesting that there were five of them here, but only two servings of food, not enough, was the commander out of his mind?
The leader, White Mask, ignored Lin Yi’s complaints. He gently tapped the terminal with his fingers and pointed at the first photo:
"Target Feng Mu, head of the Second Prison’s Internal Inspection Department. His capabilities aren’t strong, and he’s accompanied by a prison guard when traveling. But a random person can handle him. Who’s going?"
None of the White Masks responded, clearly uninterested in an easy target.
An easy meal, a meal without any difficulty, like bland meat without seasoning, edible but tasteless.
He didn’t care and swiped to the second photo:
"Target Wang Cong, Prison Chief of Death Row in the Second Prison, similarly unremarkable in strength. However, accompanied by Bright Group’s security team, with three security members in total, all with semi-modified implants..."
Before he finished speaking, several White Masks simultaneously volunteered, "I’ll take it, Captain!"
The leader, White Mask, slowly took off his mask, revealing a androgynous baby face. His tone remained calm as he continued, "Take off your masks. This time the mission isn’t under the guise of exterminating traitors. You must conceal your identity and mustn’t use standard weapons, understand?"
The White Masks took off their masks, revealing their faces, a hint of solemnity appearing on their features.
"Can’t expose our identity, can’t use the special weapons of the tactical squad. If that’s the case, it’ll be somewhat difficult to take down a team of modified bodies," one White Mask muttered.
The equipment provided to the Hidden Sect tactical squad includes many special standard weapons, secretly developed by the government, significantly boosting combat power.
Another White Mask frowned slightly, "If we can’t use special weapons, can we use the little gadgets we found in the Hidden Sect’s ruins?"
The special weapons of the Hidden Sect tactical squad are under strictest control, with no possibility of circulating in the market, but items from the Hidden Sect’s ruins are different.
Although also controlled, it’s for business, with smuggling and circulation present.
The baby-faced captain nodded, "You can use them."
The members’ solemn expressions instantly vanished, replaced with eager smiles.
The baby-faced captain opened the car door and instructed the group, "Form teams yourselves. I’m going for a dessert. Once back, one team follows me to handle Wang Cong, another person goes alone to handle Feng Mu."
No one objected. The baby-faced captain is in charge; a little extra for the captain is only right. Otherwise, what’s the point of being the captain?
...
Drunkenly, manager Tong Zhuangzhi of Hong Guang Pharmaceutical stumbled home, collapsing onto the sofa, giggling foolishly.
He got a promotion.
Because the strategic plan he proposed today gained significant attention from the president. While the personnel appointment hasn’t been issued yet, it’s a done deal.
"The Immortal Water Surrogacy Plan, benefiting the next generation of immortals, hahaha—"
Tong Zhuangzhi never drank Immortal Water before, but to better understand the product’s traits and advance this plan, he decided to take a sip today.
Just one sip!
Tong Zhuangzhi restrainedly took a sip. The next second, he felt floaty from head to toe, as though fabulous hallucinations appeared before his eyes.
On the sofa, there was a vague yet exquisite face, impossible to tell if it was male or female.
"Oh, beauty~"
Tong Zhuangzhi blinked, opened his arms, and dove toward the person on the sofa.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of a nasal bone breaking echoed in his skull.
On his knees, shattered patella crashed into the tiles, leaving two recessed pits.
"How can a hallucination hit back? Didn’t drinking Immortal Water mean I became immortal?"
Drunk and drugged by Immortal Water, 90% of his pain senses were numbed. He looked dazedly at the baby face.
His first reaction was that the bottle of Immortal Water he drank had expired. His second was that it wasn’t the Immortal Water that was faulty, but his brain.
What stood before him wasn’t an illusion; it was a real person!!!
"You..."
As blurry vision gradually focused, Tong Zhuangzhi was filled with terror, about to cry out in fear.
"Don’t scream. Answer my questions next. For every extra word you say, I’ll cut you a hundred more times!"
The baby face grabbed Tong Zhuangzhi’s chin with one hand, while the right hand flipped open a tiny fingernail clipper.
As he spoke, he lightly clipped the skin on Tong Zhuangzhi’s eyelid.
The eyelid lost a layer of skin. Tong Zhuangzhi, as if tortured by a hundred cuts, immediately rolled his eyes back, his whole body convulsing like an epileptic seizure.
The pain was excruciating!
He was in such agony that he couldn’t even scream, his mind filled with regret.
He shouldn’t have just taken one sip of Immortal Water earlier; he should have drunk the whole bottle.
After suffering for a full minute, Tong Zhuangzhi was soaked through, to the point where the fractures felt like mere tickles.
He looked at the baby face with horror, not daring to say even a word.
The baby-faced captain was satisfied with Tong Zhuangzhi’s compliance. He turned on his phone terminal and carefully read out the questions from it:
"First question, Li Hanyu visited Hong Guang Pharmaceutical today, right?"
Tong Zhuangzhi nodded vigorously, "Yes."
The baby face asked, "What was the purpose of her visit, and who did she meet without missing any details, understand?"
Tong Zhuangzhi swallowed hard, "She came for her son. I helped contact Eternal Life Technology... uh-hm, I guarantee she didn’t meet anyone else. She just went to the bathroom in between..."
The baby face asked meticulously, recording each of Tong Zhuang’s responses without missing a detail.
Fifteen minutes later.
The baby-faced captain finished asking all the questions.
He got up and left slowly, leaving behind Tong Zhuangzhi’s corpse, eyes wide open. Until his death, he kept his mouth clamped shut, not daring to utter a sound.
The baby-faced captain inhaled deeply, savoring the pain. Silent pain.
The thrill of swallowing back a scream is more intoxicating than any delicacy, truly divine!
Only too bad he wasn’t very full and could only hope the main course later would satisfy his hunger.
The baby-faced captain opened the door and returned to the van. The team members had already completed the grouping.
He scanned the team’s expressions; three were excited, only Lin Yi was frustrated, and he immediately understood.
He said nothing more and decisively commanded, "Lin Yi, you go handle Feng Mu, the others come with me to handle Wang Cong."
Whoosh—
The van door opened. Lin Yi stood alone by the roadside, watching the white van grow smaller in the distance, spat angrily at the ground, "Such bad luck. Finally get a chance for a side mission and get stuck with a bland one, oh well..."
