"Really? Then tell me, where have you seen me before." Ye Ying said very calmly, her hand quietly reaching behind her back.
The man glanced at Ye Ying's hand behind her back and said, "On Xianxia's War God list, there is a female mecha pilot ranked 27th. You look very similar to her."
Ye Ying's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and she calmly said, "Similarity does not mean identity."
"Indeed." The man nodded and said, "Xianxia War God infiltrating Black Star is a major military and diplomatic incident, enough to spark war between the two countries."
"Xianxia would not make such an impulsive and despicable decision."
The man turned to the holographic screen, and the faint blue light reflected on his glasses. He said faintly, "What are the characteristics of failed experiment subject number 37?"
Ye Ying calmly replied, "Female, age between 20 and 23, physical fitness beyond that of ordinary people, success rate of experimentation is 17%."
"After the experiment failed, where did the subject go?" the man asked.
"I have no right to know," Ye Ying replied, still calm.
After a long silence, the man nodded, "Okay, that's all. Call the next one."
Just as Ye Ying turned to leave,
The man suddenly called out, "Is it you, Ye Ying?"
Ye Ying's nerves instantly tensed. She instinctively took two steps forward, turned around, and looked at the man in confusion, saying, "What did you call me?"
They stared at each other for a long time. The man said, "It's nothing, you passed."
After Ye Ying left, the man raised his communication bracelet and said, "Notify our people in Xianxia to check the recent movements of Xianxia War Gods, especially pay attention to the movements of the 27th War God."
The next person to enter was Wang Shangmeng, who had not yet recovered from his injuries.
He hobbled to the other side of the table, supporting himself with both hands on the tabletop, and slowly sat down.
The man stared at Wang Shangmeng and suddenly laughed, saying, "Strange, another person who looks like a Xianxia War God has arrived."
Wang Shangmeng let out a long sigh, took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, paused, glanced at the door, and after ensuring Yoda wasn't watching, lit it.
He took a deep drag, exhaled the smoke towards the sky, and Wang Shangmeng said lazily, "If you have something to say, spit it out."
"Your position in the institute is an external combat personnel. You were injured during the mission to apprehend experiment subject number 37."
"Can you tell me about the situation at the time?"
Wang Shangmeng took another puff of his cigarette and said lightly, "You might as well ask my superior, Huang Li. He knows best."
"Now I want you to tell me yourself," the man said, adjusting his glasses and staring at Wang Shangmeng.
Wang Shangmeng's tone was displeased, "Your Military Intelligence Department is reaching too far. This is an internal matter of our institute."
"Even if all the people from the Supervisory Department disappear, they won't be able to trace it back to us."
"Heh, what's the point of investigating people whose minds are only filled with research, and people who do dirty work for money?"
The man also showed displeasure, his face cold, and said, "You are avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. I want to hear about the situation at the time. Answer me honestly."
"Sizz!"
Wang Shangmeng put the cigarette in his palm, squeezed it hard, and extinguished it.
He said coldly, "Watch your tone, kid. When I was carrying a gun, you were still sucking on a pacifier. And also..."
Wang Shangmeng leaned in closer, his eyes fierce, staring directly at the man, and said, "I don't mind killing someone on my own turf."
Wang Shangmeng stood up steadily, dropped the crumpled cigarette butt into the trash can, patted his hands, and turned to leave.
As soon as the door closed, the man angrily slammed the table, his face flushed with anger, "Consciousness Life Form Research Institute, don't let me catch you doing anything."
Not long after Wang Shangmeng left,
The man walked out of the room carrying a portable holographic system, his face gloomy. He left the Consciousness Life Form Research Institute with his subordinates.
Ning Yu disdainfully "tsk"-ed at the man's retreating back and whispered, "He's asking for death."
After all the investigators had left the institute,
Ye Ying and Ning Yu released Liang Yuwei and Sa Kuan, who had been hiding in the secret room.
The group met in a small conference room.
Liang Yuwei immediately asked, "Where is Gu Ya?"
"Master said he went to find Fu Yafang. I don't know how long he'll be gone," Ning Yu replied.
"Master Liang, how is the situation in Xianxia?"
Liang Yuwei said calmly, "Not optimistic. Black Star's military operations around Xianxia have increased recently. Some suspect that Black Star is planning an invasion war targeting Xianxia."
"However, there has been no precise intelligence."
Wang Shangmeng said, "Black Star has been purging intelligence personnel from other countries recently. We still haven't found our hidden contacts."
"Also, that man just now, his name is Long Zhao You Tan, a senior staff member of the Military Intelligence Department."
"He is a member of the team specifically responsible for researching Xianxia War Gods."
Ye Ying said softly, "No wonder he recognized me."
Liang Yuwei said, "It seems we are not safe here either. We must find a suitable new base and transfer all personnel."
"Ning Yu, do you have any equipment to contact Gu Ya?"
Ning Yu quickly agreed, "Yes!"
She clapped her hands, and when she opened them, a new communication bracelet appeared in her palm.
Liang Yuwei took the bracelet, quickly turned it on, and dialed the only number on it.
It rang for about half a minute before finally being connected.
Gu Ya's avatar appeared on the holographic projection. He was inside a mecha cockpit at the time.
"Master Liang, you've arrived at Black Star!" Gu Ya smiled when he saw Liang Yuwei.
Liang Yuwei said sternly, "Gu Ya, the situation is urgent."
Then, Liang Yuwei explained the current situation to Gu Ya and finally asked, "Do we need to transfer all personnel now?"
Gu Ya's breathing was even, and his expression was serious. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Not yet, but we need to do a few things. Ning Yu!"
"Yes! Master!" Ning Yu responded loudly, leaning towards the holographic projection with a smile.
Gu Ya's tone was icy, "Kill Long Zhao You Tan."
"Understood!!"
"Before you make your move, help me create something," Gu Ya continued.
"Tell me, Master!"
Next, Gu Ya told Ning Yu about the remote data theft program he had previously planted in the Military Intelligence Department's server,
And told Ning Yu how to create a remote intelligence receiving device based on the program.
Ning Yu's skills had improved. With Gu Ya's guidance, she quickly created the receiving device.
Finally, based on the frequency range provided by Gu Ya, Ning Yu successfully accessed the server,
And obtained the latest Black Star military intelligence.
"This is the first step. The next is the activation of the self-destruct program," Gu Ya said calmly.
"We'll talk about that last. Let me explain my plan first."
"I found Fu Yafang in Xiaxin City and asked her to locate 'Haiyang'."
"However, based on the Black Star military intelligence intercepted so far, Black Star has been preparing to invade Xianxia."
"We don't have that much time to wait. Resisting Black Star's invasion and destroying Haiyang are equally urgent and important."
Liang Yuwei interjected, "Gu Ya, get straight to the plan."
Gu Ya nodded and said, "I am now heading to Shanhai City, preparing to send the intercepted intelligence to Xianxia."
"And..."
