Chapter 654: Hand over Qi Yu

The Mother Goddess's forces are rapidly expanding, they have set up altars in every region of the Mother Planet, the number of mimics is not decreasing but increasing, even though the Abnormal Bureau keeps slaughtering them, they still cannot stop their expansion.

At such a critical juncture, the world once again suddenly manifested an anomaly!

On the long-lost planet, above Cloud Star, a sudden burst of extremely powerful pollution erupted, followed by an ancient and enduring sound transmitted from deep space.

It calls itself an Evil God, its voice can spread to the planet even through a vacuum, the second self-proclaimed god after the Mother Goddess has appeared.

How is the situation?

Very bad.

Ceng Tian showed Zhang Jie a segment of surveillance footage.

Only seeing that on the pitch-black Cloud Star, tiny ships constantly flew out from the poles, then began to fly along Cloud Star's orbit.

From here, those ships look small, but actually each ship here is three or four da yun in length!

Zhang Jie took one look and felt a chill all over; what the hell is this thing again?

Evil God, it's another extremely troublesome thing; what's next, will more weird stuff pop out again?

Have they checked what this thing is?

Do we still need to check it?

Ceng Tian helplessly said, it's obvious, this is an interstellar warship.

If it weren't for that membrane wrapping the entire star system, humanity would already be racing through the Star Sea by now.

What does the Abnormal Bureau say?

Just look at the group yourself.

Zhang Jie helplessly said, this thing is really not worth looking at; usually it's just people bragging or disaster reports, Zhang Jie isn't a masochist, looking at this thing is pointless.

They said they are urgently manufacturing the warships updated over thirty years ago, urging us to speed up the recovery of other lost territories.

Go to hell, why don't you go yourself?

The person issuing the order is a Forbidden Permit named Shi Jingquan, absolutely the ceiling of humanity; Zhang Jie doesn't know what these people exist for, you can't see them in a fight, yet now they've shown up?

Stop chattering, you can't control these things now.

But the only good thing I know is that you don't have to worry about your family for now.

How so?

Ceng Tian shrugged, you, this living father, are famously among the Chiefs for listening to adjustments but not orders; who dares to command you?

How else could I say it? The Star Bridge Area's position was previously awkward; although easy to defend and hard to attack, it's right next to many forbidden zones, yet it's still the best landing spot in the outer region.

Originally, no Chiefs would come to garrison this godforsaken place; even River Dawn Peak only came over after seeing this place was safe.

Zhang Jie pursed his lips, safe? Guess how it became safe, brother?

Without Old Zhang, how could this godforsaken place be any better than the outer region?

So?

So because you're here, it puts people at ease; other Chiefs don't want to offend you, nor do they want you to manage them.

So for now you can rest assured, no one clueless will mess with you.

This is pretty good; Zhang Jie also doesn't want anyone clueless messing with him, so he can develop in peace.

Then you just stay stationed here for now.

I want to secretly go to Azure Star to develop for a bit.

Ceng Tian raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and pointed at himself.

Me? You're still quite reassured.

There's no way; the pollution here isn't enough to support me becoming a Forbidden Permit.

As for that damn Evil God, to me it's a significant threat, and the Forbidden Permit probably won't be much use either.

Alright, I'll help you keep an eye on it.

Ceng Tian nodded, he now considers Zhang Jie a reliable teammate; having such a thick thigh, not clinging to it would be foolish.

Zhang Jie waved his hand, walked outward, while walking still thinking about those strange things happening to him.

There are still many unsolved mysteries waiting for him to investigate.

Hands up!!!

At the moment Zhang Jie stepped out, a sudden shout rang out, followed by countless weapons aimed at him.

Zhang Jie immediately froze; unbeknownst when, this place had already been surrounded by countless Abnormal Bureau agents.

What's going on?

Ceng Tian lifted the curtain, saw the situation outside, and was instantly stunned.

Ceng Tian:???

He only felt his face being slapped with a crackling sound, the words he just spoke were like farts.

Is this the safety you talked about?

Zhang Jie complained, then narrowed his eyes, sensing the aura ahead: three Chiefs, and moreover... a Forbidden Permit.

Is this such a big deal?

The leader is that single-lens glasses man.

And that Forbidden Permit hovers high in the sky, coldly gazing at Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie, don't engage in conspiracy theories.

That person walked forward with a half-smile, arms crossed, leisurely looking at Zhang Jie.

No one is targeting you; you're just asking for trouble.

Just then, the elite guard above, with a calm expression, spoke up.

Chief Zhang Jie, is the Abnormal Bureau agent named Qi Yu actually a mimic?

"......"

This point, Zhang Jie cannot refute, the matter of Qi Yu is a fact, an indisputable fact.

"I admit."

"But she passed the cognitive test; fundamentally, she believes she is human."

"But fundamentally, she is an anomaly."

Zhang Jie chuckled; saying such things, is he playing dumb or looking for trouble?

"Among those standing here, who is more human than I am?"

Zhang Jie stepped forward, raising his arms from his sides and spreading them out.

"Chief, they are merely a group of anomalies with human cognition, gathered together to uphold the normality of human society—do you look human?"

That sentence precisely struck the heart of the Forbidden Permit; he unhappily narrowed his eyes.

Some things can be said, some cannot; this is a highly sensitive political topic, because no one can guarantee that their will will always remain human.

But what Zhang Jie said is correct, so this Forbidden Permit merely took a deep breath, trying to stay rational as he continued negotiations with Zhang Jie.

"You're right, but can you guarantee this anomaly? Historically, humanity has believed in seven anomalies, yet never obtained the proper outcome."

"Fact proves that humans becoming Chief and anomalies becoming humans are two vastly different things."

"Hand over the Qi Yu staff to us for supervision; that is the best option."

"After we conduct a comprehensive evaluation and study of her, if there are no issues, she can live normally."

Zhang Jie furrowed his brow, his gaze sharply turning to the man with the monocle, who at that moment was elegantly sipping his coffee.

Seeing Zhang Jie's gaze, the other's lips moved, silently conveying something to Zhang Jie.

Although he heard no sound, Zhang Jie still understood the other's words.

"I've said it before; we should stop here on this matter—why won't you listen?"
