Chapter 689: Intern Member

~6 min read 1,173 words

In the end, Chi Jinan still didn't die.

Yang Yichen, having called in medical staff just in case, had a few bandaging Yang Yixie while the rest surrounded Chi Jinan.

Qi Junyi, upon seeing that Chi Jinan hadn't died, didn't know whether to feel glad or worried; after a brief daze, he immediately lunged over to help with emergency treatment.

But after just a short while, Chi Jinan was almost a bloodied man, countless tiny wounds appearing all over his body, bleeding continuously and unable to stop.

After the battle, Yang Yixie could go home with Yang Yichen and even vent on the way, while Chi Jinan was taken into the operating room, his life and death uncertain.

Even if Chi Jinan were rescued, it was uncertain whether he could regain consciousness, and how long his shattered body could hold out was also a problem.

In any case, Chi Jinan could no longer trouble him again.

"Not bad."

When Yang Yichen learned that Chi Jinan hadn't died, he still let out a sigh of relief; the authorities would let the two settle their personal grudge, and besides gathering combat data, there was surely an element of probing.

If Yang Yixie truly killed Chi Jinan, the authorities' actions wouldn't change much, but certainly some people would develop resistance because of it.

"No, it's just that no matter how I think about it, killing him would be my loss."

Just have a good fight to vent the anger, and if that were done, wouldn't Chi Jinan be the one happy in the end?

He had been constantly on edge because of Chi Jinan before; earlier, to block his team's messages, he pressed so hard his hand went numb, so he couldn't easily let him off.

That statement sounds somewhat naive and spiteful, but regardless, the outcome is at least good.

"Going back will still need some time; would you like to rest a bit first?"

Yang Yixie got up very early today; just the ride here took a long time, and he also went through this battle.

"No need, the fight cleared me completely."

Although Yang Yixie seemed not very busy, in reality, he had plenty of messes to clean up.

For example, a cult whose reputation was growing...

Probably Hua Jian Lei, after learning that Yang Yixie had already cooperated with the authorities, gathered relevant intel and prepared to go abroad.

His and Lao Bao's bases were abroad; because of the game issue, they had lingered inside the jurisdiction for too long.

Moreover, the Entropy Light Cult itself was an organization Yang Yixie had packaged and brought in; after his account left the game, the cult was basically taken over by Hua Jian Lei and Lao Bao, and because they had experience with overseas personnel, it wasn't particularly difficult.

After all, it's only because they sometimes get a hand from him, so staying alive is enough; don't expect him to manage the Entropy Light Cult very well.

Consequently, the Entropy Light Cult, left to grow wildly and freely, has become a major cult.

Yang Yixie asked a former employee of the Supervision Bureau to help locate Cai Mao; although nominally he is the guild leader, he hardly manages the guild at all, only recalling it when needed.

The current Entropy Light Cult is a mix of all sorts; some people simply use its name to rally followers whose Church had dissolved and temporarily lost leadership, attempting to stir up a riot in Tianmian City.

After all, in this peaceful new world, not everyone wants to coexist peacefully; some hidden agitators have already begun to stir.

"...... This is already the third one this week, right?"

Qi Hengyu collapsed onto the sofa, while the others were scattered nearby.

This was a venue specially approved by the authorities for them; because Shen Zexi and his group hadn't received formal education in this world, they couldn't find work here and thus had no income.

The authorities, considering the merging of the two worlds, have sent some teachers to various cities to provide instruction, so that residents of the original in‑game cities could try to integrate into life.

After all, due to the perpetual battlefields in the game, there are many displaced or parentless orphans who also need education.

Shen Zexi's group, because of their outstanding abilities, have dedicated teachers imparting knowledge; in their spare time, the authorities also hand over some troublesome Aberrant Species to the "Version Answer" team, which currently earns funding through this method.

Originally, the authorities only wanted to win over the gifted youngsters like Shen Zexi; after they agreed, they discovered that Ying Duo was also among them, which turned out to be a huge find.

After all, Ying Duo's combat power is evident; if they could use this method to employ him for the authorities, even just as a deterrent, it could restrain many petty troublemakers.

Originally, few missions were assigned to them, but recently, with the relocation of Tianmian City looming, many rogue elements have begun covert activities.

There are also some old cases that had piled up; many regulations to restrain players hadn't been issued yet, leading to numerous incidents where players, after gaining abilities, acted lawlessly, and because sentencing was undecided, they remained backlogged.

In short, the Special Anomalies Division has been insanely busy lately.

Thus, even the Version Answer team, which originally only received difficult missions, have been assigned many menial tasks cleaning up Aberrant Species.

Aberrant Species aren't hard to deal with, but one must avoid causing a big commotion, be careful not to harm civilians, and some species are especially good at hiding.

"Don't just lie there; tidy up the place, the authorities will send more people over soon."

Shen Zexi also felt a bit headache; although he agreed to take the authorities' commission, the frequency almost made a few of them reminisce about their days in Tianmian City.

Perhaps this period had become too comfortable, and they were unaccustomed to even slightly more frequent activity.

"Got work again today?" Qi Hengyu got up helplessly to tidy up, while Luo Jinyou, lying on the sofa, twitched his tail and kept patting the armrest, clearly not wanting to move.

Last night they stayed up almost all night trying to catch an Aberrant Species, which made him, who now needs at least ten hours of sleep each day in the real world, just want to return to his own big bed.

"No... the authorities want to insert someone into our group, hoping we can guide them, saying they're an intern member of the Special Anomalies Division."

Shen Zexi shook his head; he heard it was because the Special Anomalies Division's several field teams were all swamped, and aside from the unit holding the front in Shoudu, the rest had been dispatched elsewhere for support.

That intern was rather special; the authorities hoped they could give him a bit of guidance and offered a quite generous reward.

Even just taking on an intern, that reward was indeed extremely generous.
