"He wants to go out alone to track down those ability users?"
Qinggang City, Main City, High Administrative Hall, conference room.
A meeting to summarize and deal with this attack by ability users outside the city is being held.
For Qinggang, Special Pollution Cleanup, who caused great harm this time, has too many things to consider.
For example, in view of the impact of this incident on the public, stabilizing public sentiment, carrying out aftermath and clean-up, etc.
In addition, news has come that the tracking of the knights who entered the city to snatch the paintings failed.
Therefore, Qinggang City naturally has to face a lot more follow-up problems. He must not only find out the true origin and identity of the knights, investigate whether there are any shadows of other forces behind them, but also reflect on the defense loopholes of Qinggang Main City and Satellite City.
This was supposed to be a long and heavy meeting, but now something unexpected happened.
Everyone's attention was attracted by another thing.
It was a job application report.
This report comes from Qinggang Special Pollution Cleanup Department, stationed at Satellite City No. 2, and Special Action Team non-staff members.
Single soldier.
The other party submitted this application because they wanted to get permission from the headquarters to go out of the city to pursue the ability users who launched the attack in the city.
When the Knights caused chaos and fled, and the upper echelons of Qinggang were collectively shocked, this application...
Seems reasonable!
"Is this nonsense?"
Minister Shen of the City Defense Department, after reading the application report in silence, suddenly slammed the report on the table, and said in a calm voice, "In this special pollution attack, he exposed many secrets that we had no idea about before. Now, it is necessary to carry out certain investigations and inquiries on him, but at this time, he suddenly wants to apply to leave the city..."
He paused and said in a deep voice, "There must be something wrong!"
"..."
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
As these words came out, many eyes looked at him in the conference room.
Among them were four bald professors, a female doctor with black-rimmed eyes, three school-level officers wearing high-ranking military uniforms, a slightly stout middle-aged man, and an old man wearing a white suit with quiet and wise eyes.
Facing so many eyes, Minister Shen's face turned red.
After a slight pause, he added, "I know that he made great contributions in this incident and saved many people, but one is one and the other is two. I have no objection to his commendation, but his concealment of his abilities has always been the most important issue for us High Wall City Special Pollution Cleanup Department. This represents a hidden threat, so I proposed to question him!"
Whether intentionally or not, he also emphasized the syllable of the word "ask".
The others' expressions softened after hearing this.
"It turns out it's not an interrogation..."
A bald professor with glasses smiled and said, "It would be nice if you could explain it more clearly. I thought you were going to kill the donkey..."
"That's it..."
The bald professor with a big belly next to him echoed, "Strictly speaking, this hasn't been done yet..."
"..."
Minister Shen snorted heavily and turned away, unwilling to talk to them.
"I feel a little strange too."
At this time, sitting in the middle of the conference table, a middle-aged man with a round face and a slightly plump figure smiled and said, "You can make the necessary inquiries. After all, our most important purpose from the beginning is to maintain safety and order within the high wall. As a member of our Qinggang Special Purity Department, if an individual soldier suddenly has a problem with himself, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Qinggang..."
"So, I want to know, what is his real purpose of leaving the city?"
After a slight pause, he tapped the table and looked at everyone. "Avoid the upcoming questioning, or... want to leave?"
He mentioned several possibilities, all of which struck a chord with everyone, and many people nodded in agreement.
"Also, are there any results from the research on his abilities?"
The middle-aged man turned to look at the area of bald men, and smiled humbly and calmly, "I am not an ability user, nor a relevant researcher, so I don't quite understand the extent of his performance in the cleanup of Special Pollution Source No. 094 this time. But what I am more concerned about is whether we can explain the abilities he showed this time?"
"..."
His words made the atmosphere in the conference room slightly depressed, and many people lowered their heads to look at the documents in their hands.
"Can't explain it."
A fat man wearing a wig was the first to take over the words and replied seriously, "We have also received the information submitted, as well as oral reports from the City Patrol Army and other ability users. We have almost restored what happened at that time and sorted it out..."
"It's very strange. It happened to be the most critical moment. As a result, all our people withdrew. We did not witness the specific performance of the individual soldiers when dealing with the Super-Class B mental monster. During the subsequent inspection of the scene, no other specific traces were found. The treatment was very clean. We only know that a mental explosion event with a magnitude of nearly 3,000 occurred..."
"Others..."
As he spoke, he flipped through the document twice and pushed it away regretfully. "There's nothing left."
"Well..."
The middle-aged man pondered, "It was an individual soldier who suggested that others withdraw from the battlefield. In other words, did the individual soldier do this intentionally?"
"There are many reasons to speculate."
At this time, the gentle and bald professor wearing glasses spoke softly, "It's possible that the individual soldier knew what he was going to do, and he didn't want to be seen by others, so he suggested that others withdraw. This proves that he is indeed hiding something..."
After hearing his words, Minister Shen, who looked majestic, immediately wanted to speak.
But the bald professor wearing glasses raised his hand to stop him, and continued, "But there is another reason, that is, the individual soldier thinks that what he is about to do is very dangerous. He does not want to hurt his colleagues, so he proposes that everyone withdraw. In other words, at that time, he was not sure that he could deal with the Mental Monster, but in order to save those who were contaminated..."
He slowly raised his head, tapped his knuckles on the table, and said, "He still took a gamble."
In the conference room, many people nodded secretly, and even Minister Shen calmed down and did not continue to speak.
Two different statements give people two different feelings.
The middle-aged man in the middle smiled and said, "So, there are really very few things that we can be sure of?"
"Honestly, yes!"
A bald professor wearing a Tang suit sighed and said, "It is not difficult to deal with a Mental Monster with a mental level close to three thousand. Whether it is the special weapons we prepared or the dispatch of Kid, it is possible to solve it. However, while being able to deal with this Mental Monster, we also saved more than a thousand people on the scene and did not let the Mental Monster release the final radiation..."
He shook his head slightly and said, "I can't make any speculation."
It could be seen that there was great regret on his face, and he sighed, "There is too little data available for analysis. We are not gods, not even ability users. When we encounter such uncertain things, we can't just rely on guesswork, right?"
After a pause, he laughed at himself, "Although in our research, we often rely on guessing to advance the process."
"It sounds a little strange..."
At this time, a middle-aged woman with permed hair, wearing glasses, and a gentle temperament, but everyone around her subconsciously sat far away from her, lifted her glasses and said with a smile, "Minister Shen Why are you so obedient this time? You evacuated when I asked you to evacuate people?"
As he spoke, he showed an expectant expression. "If only a few people were left to observe quietly..."
After hearing this, the professors nearby nodded and said, "That's right, Old Shen has changed his temper..."
"Didn't you suspect this and that and follow everyone before?"
"Yes, he has sent people to follow Old Chen before..."
"It makes me angry just to talk about it. Didn't I just take a few defective plasma bombs home and give them to my grandson as fireworks?"
"When I mention this, I think of him robbing our funds..."
"Don't be so mean with your mouth. Lao Shen also has good intentions. Besides, he has learned well now, hasn't he?"
"..."
Listening to their chatter, Minister Shen's face dropped, but he just remained silent and made no sound.
