Chapter 532: Planning

~7 min read 1,367 words

How so fast?!

Just when Leon couldn't find an exit and started violent demolition directly, a certain rebel who was hiding very deeply immediately sensed the anomaly.

Feeling the "dungeon" being constantly destroyed amidst waves of violent tremors, the scarred director's brows couldn't help but lock tightly.

Even though he hadn't expected to be able to trap them to death directly, he had just thought about delaying them as much as possible to buy time for his companions to evacuate, but the other party's reaction was truly faster than expected. After discovering they couldn't leave directly, they actually started smashing the wall immediately. He hadn't even had time to walk out of the Secret Investigation Bureau...

"What happened?"

Sensing the change in his expression, the female prisoner whose handcuffs had been unlocked couldn't help but say with eyes full of vigilance:

"Could it be... there's movement from the Cleanup Bureau?"

"No."

The scarred strong man shook his head upon hearing this:

"The director of the Cleanup Bureau's Virgin Branch is shockingly strong. Even if she has been tied up by guarding an anomalous object for most of her strength, she is not someone we can deal with. If she really makes a move, then we can just wait for death.

The problem is with the one in the dungeon. He is currently destroying the real dungeon crazily. After he completely dismantles the real dungeon, the replica I created won't be able to be maintained."

"How could that be?!"

Hearing the scarred strong man's words, before the female prisoner could speak, another young man beside her said with a face full of shock:

"I twisted the top and bottom of the stairwell together. Shouldn't a normal person try to climb for a while? It hasn't even been half a minute, and he started breaking the wall directly?"

"I don't know what's going on either, but now is not the time to think about these things."

Walking quickly through the empty lobby of the Secret Investigation Bureau, walking to the window and looking toward the Cleanup Bureau, the scarred director pondered for a moment, then spoke directly to his two companions:

"You go first, take all the intelligence I collected back. I'll stay behind."

"Barton!"

Hearing his words, the young man couldn't help but say anxiously:

"You can't stay. This place is so close to the Virgin Branch. Even if our abilities have almost no fluctuations, it's very easy to alert them! If that woman makes a move, you're done for!"

"It doesn't matter. When I took on the infiltration mission, I had already prepared to sacrifice myself at any time.

And it wasn't a sudden whim for me to stay behind. After hearing Samantha talk about that person's ability a few days ago, I had already made this plan."

Taking out a warrant and prying open the shell to show his two companions, the scarred strong man explained with a calm expression:

"Just like this one, there is also one of my 'ears' hidden in the warrant for Yisha. Just now, when he was interrogating Samantha, I was actually listening upstairs the whole time.

Samantha, you have personally experienced his interrogation twice. You should understand how terrifying the ability of that newcomer at the Virgin Branch is. Whether you speak or don't speak, it doesn't hinder him from getting the answer to the question.

This ability is truly too dangerous for us. No one can keep secrets in front of him. If he starts helping Yisha investigate the rebels, then I'm afraid none of our people will be able to run away, and sooner or later we will all be caught completely. So this person must die!"

"Indeed... my thoughts are the same as Barton's..."

After listening to the scarred director's words, the female prisoner couldn't help but clench her fists, then nodded in agreement with eyes full of fear:

"That person is really like a devil. I don't just mean his means of playing with people's hearts, but also the feeling he gives people.

Honestly, when I look at him, I occasionally even have hallucinations, as if devil-like horns have grown on his head. If we can solve him as soon as possible, it's not impossible to pay some price..."

"Then Barton doesn't have to stay!"

Seeing that the other two had agreed to this method that could be called "a life for a life", the young man couldn't help but say anxiously:

"We are in the dark, he is in the light! There will definitely be other opportunities to solve him in the future! For example, find a way to frame him, or kidnap his family, or sneak attack and assassinate..." "No, those might not necessarily be able to solve him."

The scarred strong man thought for a while and shook his head:

"Although after listening to Samantha's words, I was thinking about wanting to solve him, Yisha suddenly bringing him to the door was truly beyond my expectation. And just when I had the idea of taking the opportunity to kill him, he almost looked at me at the same time.

So if I didn't guess wrong, this person's ability consumption should be very low, and he might even be able to be in an activated state all day long. Once someone has overly intense hostility toward him, he will be discovered directly, and then he will make preparations in advance..."

"Wait?!"

Hearing this, the female prisoner couldn't help but say with a face full of shock:

"You mean, before he went downstairs, he sensed your hostility toward him? Doesn't that mean..."

"You thought correctly, the situation is indeed like that."

The scarred strong man said helplessly upon hearing this:

"Before interrogating you, he should have already had some guesses. After he and Yisha entered the dungeon and saw my name repeatedly on the registration form, he should have known my identity in his heart. So your anomalous object can be considered to have been cheated away by him."

"..."

"But it can't be considered as having no gains."

Looking at the female prisoner whose face was full of frustration and regret, the scarred strong man couldn't help but comfort her:

"Although he saw that I had a problem, I also discovered that he saw I was a spy. So I took action before they entered the dungeon, and that's how we had this opportunity to solve him directly!"

When he said this, the scarred strong man said with a firm gaze:

"So listen to me! You two leave immediately now. Although the ability I added to you is not much, it is enough for you to avoid people on the road and run out of the range of the Municipal District."

The young man hesitated:

"Then you..."

"Hurry up and go!"

"Let's go, at least we have to send the intelligence Barton got back!"

"..."

"Sigh!!!"

Under the repeated bitter persuasion of the two seniors, the young man stomped his feet hard, then directly carried the female prisoner on his back and ran out of the empty lobby of the Secret Investigation Bureau without looking back.

It was daytime, and there were not few people coming and going on the surrounding roads, but strangely, everyone turned a blind eye to these two.

Wherever they passed, the surrounding people would suddenly disappear one by one, and after they left, they would reappear at a position slightly further away from where they disappeared, as if they were in a different world from them...

Go, go, as long as the intelligence can be delivered, I haven't wasted these many years of infiltration.

Standing at the entrance of the Secret Investigation Bureau, watching the backs of his two companions getting further and further away, the scarred strong man couldn't help but raise his hand, touch the hideous scar on his face that extended to his earlobe, then pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled with relief, then turned and walked toward the stairwell.

At least it's one for two, not a loss!

Also, since I no longer expect to be able to go back... then let's make a bigger scene!
