The Team Takes Shape

[Anomaly File Room]

Marco, the investigator in charge of receiving him, widened his eyes as much as possible.

He never expected that these unexpected guests from the capital would know Luo Di and his group, but after thinking about it carefully, he quickly figured out the reason.

Clearly, the capital has also taken note of the news of the "Connector's" discharge from the hospital, and they should be sending people over to check on the situation.

The distinguished guest from the capital bowed his head in apology as soon as he stepped through the door, and even switched from his local dialect to Mandarin:

"Please forgive me for deliberately concealing my identity when we met before. If you need any help later, please let me know. However, fortune telling will still be charged separately."

After apologizing,

The young man reached into his pocket, rummaged around, and pulled out his real identification.

Unlike Anna's ID card, which has a pure silver letter "I" printed on it, the young man's ID card has a pure gold "I" printed on its leather surface, representing the General Investigation Bureau located in the capital.

The document unfolds to reveal a QR code inside. Simply scan it with your wristband to verify your true identity. Of course, this is only a basic identity displayed externally.

Name: Yu Ze

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Identity: Earth City General Investigation Bureau, Special Operations Group, Trainee Investigator.

"Special Operations Group!"

Anna was startled when she saw the word; she knew very well what it meant.

Apart from the capital, the City Investigation Bureau do not have detailed departmental groups for their investigators.

The General Investigation Bureau has detailed functional divisions for different types of investigators in order to maximize their capabilities.

The Special Operations Group is the most difficult to join, as it is specifically responsible for handling dangerous incidents.

It's strange that,

Neither Anna nor Luo Di could find anything special about the other; even their auras were completely like those of ordinary people, which matched the identity of a Daoist fortune teller.

Yu Ze also saw the incident log that Luo Di was flipping through.

Are you selecting Anomaly Event? Would you like me to be included?

Without permission, Yu Ze moved closer, his sunglasses raised, and his eyes focused on the event the two had chosen, completing the reading in almost a second.

"Hiss~ You're already causing such an annoying problem right off the bat? You're really something, fellow countryman! But, well, this Stagnant Event isn't entirely unacceptable."

We need exactly three people, and I should be able to fill the role of a formal investigator.

Marco, who was in charge of the liaison work, quickly nodded in agreement. "According to the rules, a trainee investigator in the capital is equivalent to a formal investigator in other cities."

Yu Ze also gave the other person a look, indicating that he had spoken well, and immediately chimed in:

"Isn't this perfect? Besides, I've been spending a lot of time in the library lately, so this trip is a good opportunity to get back into the swing of things."

Furthermore, I swear I will never act as a third wheel for you and Miss Anna; my primary focus will be on the investigation.

Yu Ze raised two fingers to the sky and swore an oath, seemingly having a special obsession with matters between men and women.

Luo Di did not immediately agree, but instead carefully examined this unexpected visitor from the capital.

Currently, we are short of one person to select this Anomaly Event. It would be difficult to get Pluto City to send a formal investigator to lead the team, since this is a delayed mission and would have been dealt with long ago if it could be handled.

Yu Ze was clearly the best choice, and since he was also of Chinese nationality, communication would be very convenient.

But Luo Di was very puzzled; the coincidence was just too much.

Not to mention the "chance encounter" at the street corner this morning.

Currently, Yu Ze arrived here at almost the perfect time, and his identity just happens to meet the criteria for Anomaly Event selected from a vast number of events. Is it really just a coincidence?

Seeing the doubt and distrust in Luo Di's eyes,

Yu Ze immediately pulled out a chair from the side and sat down close to the two of them.

"Oh, I'd better not beat around the bush. After all, you're a very straightforward person, so let's just be frank. I came all the way from the capital for one thing."

With that, his finger landed on Luo Di.

"The old guys up there sent me over to check on you, this newly emerged connector. If you're in good shape and your values are sound, you can directly contact our department when you go to the capital."

However, these are not things I care about. I only accepted the task because I saw that you are from the same hometown and are here.

On the way here, I was still thinking about how to assess you. Isn't now the perfect time?

We formed a three-person team to deal with this "Stagnant Event," even though the incident may no longer exist, but I still trusted my fellow villager's intuition.

If it's still there, let's work together to get this sorted out, so I can write a report and go back to submit it.

As for your future development, whether they will contact you again, that's none of my business. If you ever come to the capital, feel free to contact me anytime.

So, are you willing to cooperate?

Yu Ze pointed at Luo Di's finger and casually switched to a handshake.

Snap!

A rough and heavy hand immediately grasped his, Yu Ze simultaneously felt an internal heat that exceeded the body's temperature, as well as a penetrating force that kept coming from him.

Instead of the usual camaraderie that comes with teamwork, Luo Di asked expressionlessly, "How much of what you just said is true?"

"It's definitely all true. Chinese people don't lie to other Chinese people! If my fellow countrymen don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. This is a task assigned by my superiors, and I'm just doing my best to complete it."

Of course, I personally hope that more fellow Chinese can join my team. That way, there will be no cultural barriers, and communication will be much easier.

Looking at the bespectacled young man in front of him, Luo Di seemed to suddenly remember someone.

He nodded, choosing to believe the other party for the time being.

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

Thus, with the addition of Yu Ze, a special outside helper, the team size increased to three people and successfully applied for this "Anomaly Event" that had been stuck for more than half a year.

This was Luo Di's first mission as an investigator, and the operation was naturally assigned to Yu Ze from the capital.

But to my surprise, his first words weren't about investigating, but about eating.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to eat and discuss our next steps while we eat. If we don't eat enough, our brains will work slower."

Just as the three of them took the elevator back to the first floor and were about to leave the Investigation Bureau building,

Marco, suddenly made an urgent call.

"Mr. Di, your trainee investigator status has been entered! Please wait in the lobby area for a moment, and I will bring you your 'welcome package' shortly."

"So fast?"

"Yes, your special status has earned you priority processing. Our Hades City Investigation Bureau is known for its speed. Just a moment! I'm already in the elevator."

Marco arrived in the hall shortly afterward.

He was carrying a black handbag that looked like a 15-inch laptop bag.

Snap!

The handbag was placed horizontally on the table in the lobby.

Instead of a zipper, it uses a magnetic locking mechanism that requires a wristband or fingerprint recognition to open, and Luo Di's personal information has already been entered into it.

Unlock and expand.

There are three things inside.

1. Like Anna's, the trainee investigator's badge is inlaid with the sterling silver letter "I".

2. Mercury Group's basic VIP activation card, once activated, will grant the same privileges nationwide.

3. Investigator uniform.

Looking at the neatly folded black clothes in the baggage compartment, and at the intricate fiber patterns on the surface of the clothes that resembled human muscle, Luo Di's thoughts seemed to return to his high school days, to the first time he saw the class monitor wearing Investigator uniform.

But his thoughts quickly returned to his original state.

He reached out and picked up the Investigator uniform in front of him.

However, the outfit in front of me is different from the one that the class monitor was awarded before. This is the complete version with more features.

One of the most useful features is the clothing switching function, which allows you to freely switch between the "Investigator Coat" and the "Tight Combat Suit" to adapt to different environments for investigation, stealth, or combat.

Wow!

The black stand-up collar trench coat enveloped his entire body, perfectly fitting Luo Di's physique.

The fiber bundles embedded in the clothing immediately conform to every inch of the body, and even through clothing, the perfect fit between the fibers and the body is not affected.

"That's really good."

At this moment, Luo Di finally experienced the feeling his squad leader had once described: the uniform was complementing and supporting his body.

After a couple of minutes of adjustment, Luo Di took off his clothes and neatly folded them in his handbag.

The next step is to avoid proactively revealing the investigator's identity; they should only don the suit when needed.
