Chapter 600: Chang Ban's Departure
Know.... huh...
Qi Yu's speech is still not that fluent, but it has improved a lot compared to before.
Her intelligence is not like that of a 'pet', but more like something with human consciousness.
Zhang Jie doesn't know what she is; his special vision can see through many superficial things, but he just can't see through her.
"I don't know whether impostors can be seen through with special vision."
The next day, Zhang Jie set out; he now carries a heavy mission, and as soon as he arrived at the Abnormal Bureau, he received orders from his superiors.
"Eradicate all impostors in the entire area???"
Zhang Jie looked at the order, dumbfounded; his small squad? Eradicate all impostors in the whole urban district?
No....
"How many of us? Seriously?"
Chang Ban laughed and patted Zhang Jie on the shoulder.
"Because your squad has a zero casualty rate."
"In your one-year mission, you've hunted down nearly over a thousand anomalies."
"An average of three per day...."
Zhang Jie was pondering something when suddenly, a flash of inspiration seemed to pass through the back of his mind.
"Although that's indeed true, but this is too..."
Zhang Yan said somewhat hesitantly, "Would the higher-ups really issue such an absurd order?"
And just as she was doubtful, Zhang Jie had already reached out and grabbed Chang Ban's throat in one swift motion.
A strange creature's eerie cry came from afar; Chang Ban's face turned deathly pale, his limbs began to elongate, turning pallid, and within two seconds his true form emerged.
"They even disguised themselves and came to the Abnormal Bureau."
Zhang Jie's gaze grew solemn; he looked around, and the lv1-level staff were all staring at their nearby companions with extreme fear.
Everyone suspected the other party of being an impostor.
This is the loathsome nature of anomalies: they destroy people's reason, destroy their trust, and cause humanity to fragment itself.
But unfortunately, Zhang Jie is here; he tried to activate that special vision, and the facial patterns and black substance on everyone's bodies were laid bare.
And among them, behind three terrified humans lurked a monster that flickered like a computer blue screen.
"There are actually three of them."
Zhang Jie's figure flashed three times, and the three impostors simultaneously let out miserable cries before collapsing limply to the ground.
"Hmm, Ordinary Blade is still easy to use."
Zhang Jie sheathed his blade and looked at the surrounding staff.
"Stop looking; the others aren't impostors."
Only then did everyone relax, their gazes toward Zhang Jie filled with awe.
"I'll go find the Chief and report this."
The Chief of Star Bridge District is also a lv4 elite warden, far more senior than Chang Ban.
Though he usually doesn't greet Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie doesn't think such a person would be replaced by an impostor.
So.... who exactly is that 'Chang Ban'? When a weakling appears, they can already be sentenced to death; but what about the real Chang Ban?
"After the conversation, you finally learned that Chang Ban has already left this planet.... He is pioneering humanity's future...."
"No farewell, no disbandment feast—perhaps he didn't want you to feel sad, or perhaps he didn't want to raise a flag; in any case, he left, departing from this planet."
"Our last meeting actually turned out to be the final one..."
"However, before he left, he recommended you to his superiors, giving you the chance to be promoted to Senior Investigator."
"And this large-scale impostor invasion is exactly your best opportunity!"
(Renshen is really busy today; I've only managed to write this much so far. The following three thousand words will have to wait until Renshen stays up late to add them tomorrow, and I still have to go visit the graves.... So tired....)
