Special Mission

A month has passed since the [Saiwei Resort Island Incident].

A pink-coated sports car is speeding along the highway.

In autonomous driving mode, all the seats inside the car retract into their bases.

A Black-haired Girl is watching her favorite new anime, while a young man is sleeping next to her with a talisman on his forehead.

Contrary to the Girl's expectations, after watching all the new anime episodes, there were still twenty minutes left before reaching their destination. Feeling extremely bored, she tore off the talisman from the young man's forehead.

"Arrive?"

"We're almost there~ Anyway, you've been sleeping since you got on the bus, so it won't make a difference if you stay a little longer."

"Besides, the higher-ups gave us a whole week off this time. You'll have plenty of time to sleep. Hurry up and chat with me, I'm so bored."

Yu Ze propped himself up with a helpless expression. He hadn't gone to sleep until almost five o'clock last night and was really exhausted.

He took a can of Coke from the car refrigerator and gulped it down.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"What else could it be? It's about the pituitary gland, of course. Weren't you the one communicating with the higher-ups about this? It took more than twenty days to complete all the testing; this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

What quality or attribute does it belong to?

Furthermore, this pituitary gland from the monster's avatar has always been used within the Capital Research Bureau. Why was its use permitted in another city this time? And even in a regular Mental Hospital?

Yu Ze shook the soda in his hand. "Special circumstances require special measures."

Since the higher-ups approved the fellow villager's application, they must have had their reasons. You'll find out the specifics when you get there.

"Hopefully it will work out, then we'll have a third Chinese teammate, and we can speak Chinese!"

The Girl was Yu Ze's junior, and they were both members of the Special Operations Group of the Capital Investigation Bureau.

They were assigned to Pluto City to complete an important mission, a mission targeting Luo Di, and would be given a full seven days of vacation afterward.

[Fifth Hospital]

The Girl had just stepped out of the driver's seat when her face, which was full of anticipation and excitement, suddenly froze, as if she had sensed some kind of danger and her expression changed drastically.

His once innocent, childlike eyes instantly turned cold and filled with murderous intent.

A small metal hammer slid out of his sleeve and was held in his hand.

Her cold, uncolored eyes stared at the Fifth Hospital in front of her, but she returned to normal the next second.

What we see here is just an ordinary Mental Hospital.

The most difficult ones to deal with are those imprisoned in the intensive care unit; those Pseudo-Human who have been detained for no more than six months pose no real "danger."

But she knew very well that her feeling just now was not wrong; she had sensed that there was an entity in the hospital that could kill her.

"Senior brother, this hospital... is a bit strange."

"Can you feel it? It seems you haven't been slacking off in your training lately."

"Senior brother, stop with the riddle! What exactly is this hospital?"

"[World Anchor Point], the world that fellow countrymen connect to should have a region with a very high degree of similarity and synchronization with this place."

So much so that as long as the villagers are here, they can easily project their consciousness to the other world.

In contrast,

Because of the extremely high spatial synchronization rate, the other world can also affect this hospital to some extent, which is why you feel the danger.

For some reason, he had to stay in the Fifth Hospital until the pituitary gland was fully fused.

The capital city also sent people to conduct on-site inspections and comprehensive assessments before allowing the villagers to conduct pituitary-related matters here.

certainly.

They've also specially arranged for a researcher to handle pituitary implantation; let's hurry over and meet them.

The Girl circled her index finger twice on her temple, her eyes widening:

"I understand!"

No wonder they arranged for the two of us to come together. The message from above is that if the acceptance fails, Luo Di should be killed immediately to prevent his loss of control from turning the World Anchor Point into a portal.

"My fellow villager won't fail, let's go."

The junior sister frowned, looking displeased. "Ugh! This is the first time I've ever seen you praise someone like that, senior brother..."

The two walked through the main gate into the Fifth Hospital, and as soon as they entered the lobby, they sensed two extraordinary auras.

Wherever the eye falls,

Two middle-aged men were chatting in the rest area, and it wasn't just a normal conversation; they were exchanging ideas while practicing Tai Chi.

The movements, which appear slow and typical of the elderly, actually convey a powerful force that flows back and forth between the arms.

A man wearing a white coat and a nameplate that read "Dean" on his chest was the director of the Fifth Hospital.

However, this elderly dean, who was over sixty years old, was adorned with things that did not belong to his status and age, such as the hook-shaped earrings that ran through his ears.

There was also a middle-aged man with a square face and a distinctive black mole on the upper part of his lip, wearing a Research Bureau uniform.

"Dean Hawkins, Deputy Director Wang Shuokang."

As Yu Ze stepped forward to greet them, they disengaged from their sparring stance in Tai Chi, and sweat was clearly visible dripping from their foreheads.

The dean glanced at the time and repeatedly smacked his head.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect the time spent practicing Tai Chi to pass so quickly. Please wait here for a moment while I go check on Luo Di's condition. If there are no problems, I will take you over."

Although Dean Hawkins is Italy, he speaks fluent Mandarin.

His movements were not at all like those of an elderly middle-aged man; he took a few big strides and arrived at the elevator.

Looking at the energetic dean, Yu Ze quickly figured out what was going on. Then he looked at Deputy Director Wang, who was also covered in sweat, and noticed the special pituitary gland embedded in the other man's arm.

"Congratulations on your promotion, Deputy Director Wang. Is it really possible that the capital city has put you in charge of pituitary surgery alone?"

Wang Shuokang looked at the two young men in front of him, both from the capital and of Chinese descent, and nodded. "I submitted an application to the higher-ups. I'm quite familiar with Luo Di, so communication will be easier."

"OK."

The elevator returned to the first floor not long after, and the dean stood there waving rapidly.

"Come quickly, Luo Di is doing alright right now."

After taking the elevator to the third floor, everyone quickly stood in front of the Dean's Office, but the door was locked and they could not see what was inside.

The Girl asked curiously, "Has Luo Di been living in this office all along, instead of in a hospital room?"

The dean did not deny it. "Yes, Luo Di spends most of his time here in my office."

"I see?"

The Girl's curiosity had been heightened to a great extent, and she couldn't wait to see what was so special about this so-called "fellow villager".

After the dean took out a special key and unlocked the door, she pushed the door open first.

The moment she stepped into the office,

The scene that came into view was not a bright and clean office, but a completely sealed area, an area that had nothing to do with an office.

Numerous metal hooks capable of inducing intense phantom pain hang densely from the dome.

Heart-wrenching screams, emanating from the depths of her soul, continuously penetrated the walls and pierced her eardrums.

The main purpose of this trip

A young man named Luo Di was sitting cross-legged at the altar deep inside the preaching room.

A special ring-shaped hook hangs down from the top, running completely through Luo Di's neck, fixing and restricting something.

But the Girl's attention was not on Luo Di.

Because she sensed a greater threat.

A threat that could threaten her life or even her soul.

The threat was right beside her.

He was still holding a hook-shaped key for opening the door in one hand.

It was as if a single touch could pierce through her entire body; the Girl even imagined the agonizing scene of her skin being pierced by hooks and suspended in the air.

I turned my head and looked.

The usually easygoing dean had suddenly transformed into a bald man in a leather jacket, his dark, unyielding eyes fixed intently on her.

The hooks embedded in her mouth seemed to be beckoning her, hoping she would join the torture chamber.

Buzz!

A ringing in the ears,

The scene before my eyes suddenly returned to normal.

The bald-headed dean looked at the Girl with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she had been blocking the doorway for so long without going in.
