I'm Not Some Urban Special Forces King

One kilometer outside West Eden Ancient City, temporary base Zheng

The leaders of the Special Ops Team and the Ninth Division were exchanging opinions rapidly. In the not-so-spacious tent, although there were no overly harsh words, the conversation still occasionally reached a stalemate.

If Xu Nan hadn't acted as a good Lubricating Oil, he doubted Old Hai and Xue Beicheng would have continued their cold, silent treatment.

Both sides are trying to get their people to play a more important role in the rescue.

At this point, Xu Nan finally understood why Zhang Jian had specifically requested that he be appointed as the liaison officer.

So he was just trying to smooth things over.

That's the only advantage of having high charm; while it might not directly turn Major General Xue gay, it at least makes the other party's attitude better.

Xu Nan is very dissatisfied with this positioning!

Am I destined to be nothing more than a socialite? Although he's not bad at being one.

After a fierce verbal battle, the two sides temporarily reached an agreement.

The operation was still carried out collaboratively by both sides, but with a detailed division of labor: the Special Ops Team was responsible for investigating and capturing the Cultists, while the Ninth Division was responsible for rescuing the tourists and clearing out the wandering monsters summoned by the Cultists near the West Eden Ancient City.

Because it involved Cultists, Thousand Rays Society sought advice from many scholars with professional knowledge, including a refined-looking middle-aged man who was said to be a theology expert.

"I once lived for two years in the City of Scholars in the Pro World, where I mainly studied ancient theology."

The expert pointed out. "In fact, the current Pro Gods are not the first gods since the birth of this world. According to the statistics of the City of Scholars, the ruler of the Pro World has changed at least three times."

"Based on the current clues, the badges and marks on those Cultists can be basically confirmed to be Blood Worship Cultists, who are well-known followers of the Ancient Seven Gods."

"This might be confusing for some. Generally, deities and faiths are exclusive, and it's rare for several deities' followers to act simultaneously. However, the Ancient Seven Gods were an exception. Although they were seven evil deities, when they were about to be killed, they used their oaths and covenants from their previous lives to choose to prolong their lives by sharing life and death. In this way, the Ancient Seven Gods were actually in a relationship where one's prosperity was intertwined with the other's. The City of Scholars doesn't have many records about them. The only certainty is that their divine kingdom was basically destroyed, and the seven gods themselves were like candles flickering in the wind, unable to protect themselves. The reason for the existence of the Blood Worship Cultists is that when the Pro Gods tried to kill the Seven Gods, some of their blood and essence entered the mortal realm, influencing many beings with weak wills, with humans being the most numerous."

"According to the scholars of the Citadel, every action of the Blood Worship Cultists is guided by the Ancient Seven Gods. They cannot act aimlessly, after all, the number of cultists influenced by the evil gods is dwindling. In a sense, if the Blood Worship Cultists are wiped out, the Ancient Seven Gods can only await their demise. And the purpose of the Blood Worship Cultists' actions is basically to strive for the resurrection of the Ancient Seven Gods..."

Xu Nan listened attentively.

This expert was clearly very knowledgeable about the ancient gods. Although his knowledge could not directly help solve this problem, it at least gave the Special Ops Team and the Ninth Division a general idea.

After all, they were facing enemies from another world, and Cultists were extremely rare even in other worlds.

"Resurrection... What resources does West Eden Ancient City have that are worth fighting for?"

"The Ancient Seven Gods are currently in a state of dormancy or apparent death, with only some very shallow consciousness calling upon believers. Upon closer inspection, they are much weaker than Tiamat before... Tiamat did not use any extreme methods to invade Earth, so what Blood Worship Cultists the right to do so?"

Xu Nan fell into deep thought. He vaguely felt that the Blood Worship Cultists were probably plotting a very terrible conspiracy.

He even considered going back to Lost Paradise to buy information, but the mission was too urgent and he couldn't spare the time. Before he could even think about it for long, the others had already finished preparing and called Xu Nan to get ready to set off.

This made Xu Nan very unhappy.

So, you're making yourself a social butterfly? After socializing, you still have to personally fight monsters? Doing two jobs at once?

He looked at Old Hai seriously. "I don't think this is right."

"At the very least, both salary and bonuses need to double."

Outside the West Eden Ancient City, two groups of people from the Special Ops Team and the Ninth Division began their work in earnest.

The Special Ops Team task force was led by Zhang Jian, who arrived late. He had recently been promoted to branch manager of H City, half a rank higher than Old Hai. As a swordsman, a super-powerful profession, he was used to personally taking the lead in dangerous situations, even though he held a high position.

This matter concerns the status of the Thousand Rays Society and the Special Ops Team, and they cannot afford to be careless.

To Xu Nan's surprise, there were many familiar faces among the Special Ops Team members this time: Zheng Xie, who finally didn't ride Kangaroo this time, and who knows where he put his mount; Jiang Yuanchi, Senior Jiang was not actually a member of the Special Ops Team, she was the kind of person who was temporarily summoned to help, after all, she is also a very outstanding character in the mage department; and then there was Xu Nan's partner, Liu Erdao, a third-tier ranger, whose combat power was also very amazing.

Xu Nan watched them get into the car and leave with a face full of resentment. Before leaving, Zheng Xie asked him how Xin'er was doing... naturally, he was slapped back by Xu Nan with Bileg's Void Severing Palm.

The Special Ops Team force will enter through the fire escape on the west side of the ancient city, where they discovered traces of Cultists activity. Preliminary investigations also indicate that the Cultists seem to be setting up some kind of ritual there!

"Alright, Xu Nan, we should go now."

General Xue Beicheng changed into his combat uniform, his expression still calm and composed. Like Zhang Jian, this was a crucial battle for both Xue Beicheng and his superior, Wen Zipi, to make the Ninth Division famous and could not be lost!

Xu Nan's job changed from a liaison officer (socialite) to an advisor (tour guide) assisting the soldiers of the Ninth Division in rescuing hostages...?

After all, they still had Qin Lele as an inside agent, and General Xue felt that things might be simpler with Xu Nan's help, so he formally invited Zhang Jian to have Xu Nan temporarily cooperate with them.

Zhang Jian meaningfully agreed, then secretly instructed Xu Nan to consider the overall situation.

At that time, many of the professionals in the tent looked at Xu Nan strangely. Xu Nan was furious. If he didn't also want to find Qin Lele as soon as possible and ensure her safety, he would have really quit!

Is she really addicted to using her looks?

This society that judges people by their appearance is truly pathetic!

In the dark sewers, Xu Nan followed closely behind General Xue, moving forward quickly.

The rescue team from the Ninth Division was divided into three groups. Xu Nan's group, Group A, consisted of nine people, all of whom were professional special forces soldiers. They were very capable in combat and had experience in hostage rescue... well, acting experience.

After all, we've had peace for so many years, and it's rare to Blood Worship Cultists like them daring to hold over fifty lunatics hostage. If it weren't for the interference of divine magic, the helicopters and snipers would have killed them this morning.

Fortunately, the Blood Worship Cultists' magical barrier also had loopholes.

After careful investigation, the people of the Ninth Division found an old sewer in the West Eden Ancient City, which leads directly to the back alley of the Haunted House the tourists were captured.

Their goal was to rescue the tourists without alerting the Blood Worship Cultists. The mission of eliminating the Cultists was assigned to the Special Ops Team.

However, just in case, General Xue made many contingency plans.

Throughout the entire process of organizing the event, Xu Nan couldn't help but marvel at the importance of professionalism.

Although the members of the Thousand Rays Society had gone through Training Camp and were professionals with extraordinary powers, they were still lacking compared to soldiers. It's just that many things cannot be acquired overnight.

Even during the efficient march, despite Xu Nan's excellent physical abilities, he still struggled to keep up with the pace of the Ninth Division.

"Take a three-minute break," General Xue suddenly ordered.

The sewer ahead made a sharp turn; they had entered the West Eden Ancient City, and were actually no more than 800 meters away from the ghost.

"Contact your friend," General Xue said in a low voice. "Have her observe the situation as best she can without disturbing the Blood Worship Cultists."

Xu Nan nodded.

Half an hour ago, Qin Lele replied, and the Special Ops Team task force's operation was carried out with Qin Lele intelligence support. She discovered a group of Cultists performing some kind of ritual in the West Eden Ancient City, but she dared not get too close, as such rituals often carried a strong aggressive nature, and even with the Flying Thief's strong stealth abilities, she could easily be detected.

At Xu Nan's urging, Qin Lele returned to the basement of the Haunted House to keep the relatively calm Madam Fang.

"What's the situation now? I need you to provide some information about the Haunted House."

Xu Nan quickly sent a message.

[Qin Lele: Wow! Xu Nan, are you finally coming to be the hero and save the day? You know, I've been holding back for so long, those Blood Worship Cultists looked so weak...]

Xu Nan chuckled, "Although you, Qin Lele, are the school beauty of the Foreign Language Experimental Middle School, I'm not some urban special forces king. I have no interest in such cliché and boring hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress dramas!"

I'm just a social butterfly!

Just focus on doing your job well.

"Speak properly! I'm asking you about the situation inside the Haunted House!" Xu Nan asked.

[Qin Lele: The Haunted House is just like that! A bunch of people sleeping together, and it seems like only two or three idiots in red are guarding it. I really think I can fight back!]

Wait, there are strange footsteps. Heh, could it be those two fools? I'll go check it out...

A bad feeling rose in Xu Nan's heart. The next second, his phone vibrated:

"Xu Nan, please..."

Xu Nan was startled and, without thinking twice, grabbed the magic carpet and rushed forward!

He couldn't imagine what would happen to Qin Lele...

"Keep up!" General Xue, though unaware of what was happening, responded swiftly.

"Yes!" The other seven took off running.

They were confident they could keep up with Xu Nan, but in the blink of an eye, they couldn't even catch a whiff of Xu Nan exhaust fumes anymore.

"This..."

Xue Beicheng was also a bit dumbfounded.

...!
