Chapter 38 Death Threat

A total of twelve mottled auras.

Three mottled auras emanated from Anxi and Wen Heisen, and two of them had already begun to exude a faint sense of pressure.

C-level psychic?

He had already begun to miss that large-caliber anti-materiel weapon.

Wang Jixuan glanced around and saw several young men and women dressed in strange clothes, as well as a few relatively normal guys.

He hesitated for a moment, then instead of following immediately, he took his access card and went to his room.

Unlock and push the door open.

Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

The new dormitory is much larger, about three meters by five meters, with more furniture and a separate, narrow bathroom space.

Zhou Zhengde improperly assigned him a room that should only be available to married couples.

Mu Liang’s belongings were laid out on the table, next to which was his combat protective suit that had been thoroughly disinfected and cleaned, as well as his black helmet bearing the marks of battle.

Two light blue police uniforms were laid out on the bed.

Wang Jixuan came here looking for this.

He quickly changed into a uniform, grabbed the pistol from the corner of the table, and habitually checked the magazine…

Great, no bullets.

—You have to apply for and get bullets from the police station, and you also have to report the number of bullets you have on a regular basis.

But having this official uniform made it easier for him to carry out his subsequent actions.

Wang Jixuan picked up a riot helmet from the security team next to him and put it on with a touch of ceremony.

‘How strange that I, a humble Taoist priest, have become a yamen runner.’

‘Since we have chosen to advance alongside Fellow Daoist Zhou, we should naturally protect him and ensure his safety, preventing him from being besieged by psionicists.’

‘To facilitate the search for disciples with high talent, various sects also cultivate mortal influence and support mortal dynasties; I, too, may emulate them in some ways.’

‘Psionicist.’

A murderous glint flashed in Wang Jixuan’s eyes as he turned and walked towards the door, just as he opened the alloy door.

“Hey! Team Leader Mu!”

Just as a familiar-looking member of the security team was about to knock on the door, he jumped in and shoved Wang Jixuan in the chest.

Wang Jixuan gently pushed with his left hand, the back of his hand stuck together, his arm swirled, and his knee pushed forward.

The young team member felt dizzy and disoriented. In the blink of an eye, he found himself inside the house, kneeling down with a thud in front of the door.

The door closed, and an empty pistol was pressed against the back of the team member’s head.

The young player raised his hands and shouted:

“Team leader, don’t shoot! The captain sent me! My name is Lin Bo!”

“Lin Bo? What’s your relationship with Lin Tao?” Wang Jixuan took two steps back and put his pistol back into the holster on his waist.

“He is my twin brother from IVF! We were all born to soldiers!”

“Get up, there’s no need for such a grand gesture.”

Wang Jixuan said:

“I smelled your scent in the lower town.”

Lin Bo quickly replied, “Yes, yes, I delivered equipment to the team leader!”

“You need to train more,” Wang Jixuan advised. “You don’t have much muscle.”

“Yeah! We were actually all rejected soldiers, but the captain pulled some strings for us… Since there wasn’t much hope of getting into the defense force for the time being, I got a little lax… Oh! Right! Back to business!”

The young team member breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly took out a palm-sized disc from his pocket.

Look at this!

“The captain was afraid that you would act impulsively if you noticed the presence of a psionicist, so he specially sent me here!”

“This is the monitor set up by the captain’s mother, cough, this is the monitoring device that the minister set up. We originally took it down, but the captain hurriedly put one back in.”

“The captain wants you to know how he talked with the Minister of Biology, so you can rest assured that he would never betray you!”

“Um?”

Wang Jixuan immediately asked, “Has the fortress’s biology minister arrived?”

This is a great opportunity to take down this devil.

The evil of the Blackfire Gang largely stems from the head of the Thirteenth Division of Fortress No. 76.

“Yeah, a bunch of psionicists surrounded him! I wanted to just shoot him dead! But I didn’t dare, there were just too many psionicists.”

Lin Bo’s eyes showed obvious disgust as he quickly turned on the monitor.

Several beams of light intertwined to form a simple projection screen, on which a monitoring view from above appeared.

Zhou Ma’s Gaze – Limited Time Trial Version.

…

In the captain’s office.

Two psionicists sat on a sofa in the corner, one sipping coffee elegantly, the other fiddling with a dagger.

Zhou Zhengde leaned back in his office chair, his hands clasped together on his abs, his thumbs slowly circling, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Across the desk, the overweight biology minister, dressed in a suit and tie, crossed his legs, a cigarette between his fingers, and stared at Zhou Zhengde with a dark expression that looked like he wanted to devour him.

Two minutes passed like this.

Just as Wang Jixuan and Lin Bo thought they hadn’t turned the volume up, clear voices came through the screen.

“Captain Zhou.”

The Minister of Biology stubbed out his cigarette and said in a hoarse, low voice:

“You have achieved your goal. You have taken revenge on the Blackfire Gang, and their ambush of you can now be considered closed.”

“A respected lady lost her life in this downtown conflict.”

“I don’t want you to continue investigating this matter.”

“Zhou Zhengde, others may be wary of your mother, but that is not a problem for our Thirteenth Institute. We represent the hope for the future of humanity.”

Zhou Zhengde smiled and said, “If humanity relied on you, it would have been finished long ago.”

The Minister of Biology said calmly, “You don’t understand the potential of humankind and the energy contained within the human body. I forgive your ignorance, but even your mother wouldn’t dare speak to me like that.”

Zhou Zhengde laughed and said, “Please don’t take my mother’s knowledge, manners, and good upbringing as proof that you are strong enough, the seventh minister in the daily meetings of the six ministers of the fortress.”

The Minister of Biology’s nostrils twitched, and he squeezed out through clenched teeth, “I could kill you right now!”

The two psionicists in the corner looked at Zhou Zhengde at the same time.

Inside the new dormitory, Wang Jixuan, with a dark expression, was held tightly by Lin Bo’s arm.

“Um–“

Zhou Zhengde pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed:

“Don’t lose your mind, Minister of Biology… You came here today just to threaten me in this direct way?”

“My mother’s message to me clearly said that you are here to discuss cooperation.”

He seemed to have held back.

“Yes, cooperation.”

The Minister of Biology let out a soft sigh:

“Cooperation is based on reconciliation.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“I still control the Blackfire Gang’s facilities. I’ve just placed eight psionicists there.”

“I’ve already spoken to the purge team. Once they leave, the Blackfire Gang will change its name and its core members and continue operating.”

I know everything that happened in the lower town.

“A girl named Ye Zi survived the fire. She was like a younger sister to me and she was very lucky to come into my life.”

“Your psionicist… to be honest, I have to thank him.”

“I know you definitely won’t hand him over directly, so I won’t talk to you about that today, but I will catch him and send him to my dissection table.”

“Thomas worked with your mother’s secretary, Ban Wenying. They were the masterminds behind this riot. According to Ye Zi’s fragmented description, Thomas killed the respected old lady, while your psychic killed both Thomas and Ban Wenying.”

“Tsk, this is really interesting, Captain Zhou. Your men killed your mother’s men, hahaha, I didn’t expect you to be even dumber than your mother.”

“Now, Xiao Zhou, what have you changed?”

After listening to this guy’s long speech, both Zhou Zhengde and Wang Jixuan’s expressions changed.

The Minister of Biology raised an eyebrow slightly: “Let’s talk. My condition is that you stop trying to get involved in the Blackfire Gang’s business. In return, we will protect your mother’s reputation, and the matter of the Blackfire Gang will be over. If you agree, we can talk about your psychic problem again.”

Zhou Zhengde couldn’t help but laugh: “You brought me a basin of dirty water that you made yourself, and then used this dirty water to threaten me?”

“It’s not a threat, it’s an exchange.”

The Minister of Biology maintained a cold smile, seemingly confident of victory.

Zhou Zhengde muttered, “I’m curious, why are you so sure you’ve won? Kong Lianmei is your mother’s affair, do you think no one knows that? Minister Kong, how much material did your mother provide for human experiments?”

“You have no evidence that my mother has any connection with the Blackfire Gang. She is a kind lady who has helped more than 300 orphans.”

The Minister of Biology said calmly:

“Your mother is the Minister of the Interior. If her reputation is damaged, especially since Ban Wenying is her first secretary, it would be a fatal political mistake.”

“As for me, I am not a politician. I am a Level 6 Senior Researcher at the Thirteenth Institute. I am in an independently operating system.”

“Even if your mother is third in the ministerial position in this fortress, how could she possibly threaten the great Thirteenth Institute?”

“I’m here today to talk to you so that you can face reality. It’s better for both of us.”

“This is just Fortress 76, one of the forty-five fortresses under the jurisdiction of the D5 War Zone. My superior is not that soft-spoken governor. My direct superior is Professor Zhuang, the director of the D5 branch of the Thirteenth Biological Research Institute!”

“I’m now stating my terms; you can state yours now.”

Zhou Zhengde’s voice became incredibly sincere: “Can I really say this?”

The Minister of Biology raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice softening: “Go ahead and say it. Your mother and I have been colleagues for many years. As long as you stop pressuring us so much, we can even cooperate more deeply. The governor is getting old, but your mother is in her prime. You understand what I mean.”

“My conditions are actually not complicated.”

Zhou Zhengde said:

“You must hand over that list and direct evidence of your human experimentation, permanently cease all illegal experiments, commit suicide to atone for your sins, and severely punish any illegal psychic.”

“Then, I will consider letting go of the director of the D5 branch of the Thirteenth Biological Research Institute, who is your immediate superior.”

The Minister of Biology’s smile instantly froze.

“ha!”

The two psionicists in the corner burst out laughing.

The Minister of Biology stared at Zhou Zhengde and said calmly:

“So there’s no room for negotiation?”

“Very well, Zhou Zhengde, I will soon make you understand the consequences of going against me. You and your psychic can just wait to die!”

“Before he dies, I will completely dissect him, study him carefully, and place each piece in a petri dish to cultivate all sorts of bizarre and strange things.”

“This is all thanks to your arrogance today.”

Upon hearing this, Master Wang leaned back slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Perhaps his Dao heart was slightly corrupted by the perverted area;

He actually quite liked this kind of enemy who he could attack without restraint.

Now, can he just ambush them…?

In the surveillance footage.

“Wait a mininute!”

Zhou Zhengde called out to the Minister of Biology, who had just stood up, calmly opened the second drawer, and took out a dark green communicator.

He busied himself with setting up and dialing, speaking casually:

“As you said, Minister of Biology, you are actually in the vertical system of the Thirteenth Institute, and you are just a Minister of Biology in the Fortress… In other words, you have never been able to integrate into the core political circle of the 76 Fortress.”

“I’ll show you a little secret that only the consul and a few ministers know.”

“Although I’m disgusted by this kind of thing, I have no choice; I need this kind of power to fight against evil…”

Beep, buzz.

After a brief noise, a deep, hoarse, and impatient old male voice came through the communicator.

“Ahem! What’s wrong, my only genetic successor? You’re planning to have a baby soon, aren’t you? Grandpa’s holding a damn strategic meeting right now, plotting to wipe out a lone sub-king level caterpillar. I’ll tell you a bedtime story later, okay?”

“Grandpa.”

Zhou Zhengde’s eyes quickly reddened, his voice choked with emotion, and he sniffled pitifully.

“I almost died. A psionicist blew me up with a rocket launcher. My mother was also threatened by the head of the Thirteenth Institute here, who said she would be sent to a petri dish for slicing.”

“I’m so scared, Grandpa! I’m afraid I won’t see you again! Tsk, tsk.”

The Taoist priest who witnessed this scene, and Lin Bo standing beside him:…

ah?
