Chapter 148: So Fast?

【Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the skill 'Memory Extraction lv1'】

【Memory Extraction lv1】: Master can extract, the target's memories from one day before death (time cannot exceed half an hour after death at latest).

It can be upgraded.

Upon seeing this newly acquired skill, Chen Yongren instantly felt energized.

This skill is kind of interesting.

Although it can only extract one day's worth of memories.

But sometimes a day can yield a lot of useful information.

Looking at Meng Youde's corpse beside him, Chen Yongren placed his hand on his head, wanting to see what he had experienced a day earlier.

The next second.

Chen Yongren then felt a ball of light appear in his mind.

In the ball of light.

Meng Youde's memories from one day ago, as if playing a movie, were rapidly played.

If Chen Yongren were an observer, he would be watching these scenes.

In the scene.

A man in a long robe was persuading Meng Youde, then gave him a slip of paper with a phone number written on it.

Meng Youde took the slip with a humble expression.

Time came to evening.

Meng Youde, taking advantage of Shen Mingchen's absence, sneaked into his office, holding a flashlight, and furtively flipped through the documents on the desk.

Suddenly, several beams of light appeared in the hallway, shining through the window into the office, and immediately the door was kicked open.

Seeing this, Meng Youde drew his pistol, fired a few shots wildly, and jumped out the window to escape.

Afterwards came a series of scenes of Meng Youde being pursued.

After shaking off the pursuers behind him, he ran to a telephone booth and made a call.

Just after hanging up, the pursuers behind him came again; Meng Youde drew his gun to fight back, and ultimately was shot in the shoulder.

Meng Youde commandeered a car and fled, shaking off pursuers along the way, finally abandoning the sedan, sneaking onto a freight truck, and arrived at Songhu.

Chen Yongren also saw in the footage Hua Lei secretly watching him, but at that time Meng Youde was seriously injured and had no suspicion of Hua Lei's identity.

After a while, Chen Yongren even saw himself in the footage.

In the footage, Chen Yongren was interrogating Meng Youde, and finally reached out to twist his neck, after which the playback cut off abruptly.

Chen Yongren's thoughts returned to the real world.

To Chen Yongren's delight, memory extraction is not a one-time thing; as long as he extracts it once, he can permanently remember that scene and recall it to watch at any time.

Chen Yongren raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

Although it was like watching a movie, he had viewed Meng Youde's memories of one day.

But in reality, it was merely an instant, and the time can be completely ignored.

Aside from the memory extraction.

Because he completed a mission, Chen Yongren's Danger Sense also received another upgrade.

Danger Sense level 6 upgraded to level 7.

The sensing range also went from 100 meters directly up to 200 meters.

After testing the newly acquired skill, relying on the Crime Scene Disguise Master Skill, Chen Yongren quickly cleaned up the scene and placed Meng Youde on the bed.

Meng Youde, to facilitate his escape, seemed to have brought all his household goods with him— as many as 50 small yellow fish and 80 silver dollars.

This money also came cheap to Chen Yongren, including the Browning pistol that originally belonged to him; he wiped away traces of his presence, left his identification documents, and quickly left the scene.

Afterwards he went to the train station's lockers, opened box number 20, obtained the list, and then returned home.

"Brother, you're back; he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Seeing Chen Yongren return home, Hua Lei hurried forward and asked.

"That good-for-nothing, what can he do to me?" Chen Yongren said with a smile: "I said if he doesn't repay the debt, I'll send him to prison."

"That bastard pissed himself upon hearing it, and at that moment he paid back all the money he owed me."

"I knew you were the most awesome, brother." Hua Lei laughed happily.

Being able to do more things for Chen Yongren also makes me feel better.

Strictly speaking, Hua Lei successfully completed her first mission; thereafter we can look for opportunities to let her do more things, so she can quickly grow in actual combat.

First, we took Hua Lei out for a hearty meal, continued teaching her to read and write, and finally continued to strengthen her 'Self-Defense' technique.

A pleasant day ended amidst Hua Lei's laughter and joy.

Chen Yongren immediately destroyed that list; to reassure Boss Dai, that very night he reported to Boss Dai that he had successfully eliminated Meng Youde and intercepted the information.

This included the meeting with Meng Youde, and the appearance of that Japanese was also reported.

Upon receiving Chen Yongren's telegram, Boss Dai initially thought he had misread it.

So efficient?

The order was issued less than a day ago, and the mission is already completed?

When he saw that what Meng Youde had stolen was the Yu Cheng personnel roster, Boss Dai still couldn't help but let out a string of native profanity.

Fortunately, Chen Yongren successfully resolved Meng Youde.

Otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

That said, the Yu Cheng plan has already been leaked, so Boss Dai naturally dare not continue using those agents; after praising Chen Yongren, he then replaced a batch of personnel.

Afterwards, he again ordered his subordinates, according to Chen Yongren's description of the appearance, to launch an investigation in Yu Cheng.

Boss Dai was busy.

Chen Yongren was also checking his own panel information.
