"Mr. Su's questions, I can answer a few!"

Amidst the endless banter and discussion, Chen Jing, who was sitting opposite Minister Shen, slightly raised his head and looked at the round-faced middle-aged man. She looked a little pale at this time, and her complexion was not very good. Under Professor Bai's suggestion, she had relieved the impact on herself, so the burden of the surgery she had just undergone was fully reflected on her body.

Before speaking, she gently pressed her lower abdomen to make her voice sound stronger:

"The purpose of leaving the city alone is not to escape. I am very sure about this."

"As for delaying the upcoming inquiry, it is even more impossible. He is very rational and knows that delaying is useless. Therefore, he can only give two responses to our inquiry. One is to not say anything if he does not want to, and the other is to report the truth truthfully."

"..."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Professor Bai subconsciously.

There are some things she doesn't plan to say in such a meeting, such as the problem Professor Bai discovered.

Therefore, she just paused for a moment and then continued her suggestion, "I have always trusted the individual soldier. I can understand Minister Shen's concerns, but I don't think being too wary of an ability user who is dedicated to High Wall City, or even showing distrust in him, will help us maintain the order of High Wall City. On the contrary, I think this is a very dangerous thing."

"Before this attack, I dealt with an abnormal incident with a single soldier. As you know the specifics, the person who caused this incident was Mr. Xu, who loves collecting in the inner city. When I arrived, Mr. Xu asked me to give him an explanation. Normally, such things are difficult to deal with. You also know that the specialness of ability users will always cause some unnecessary trouble..."

"Sometimes, we even need to give a special green light or hide the terms to solve these problems."

"But this is the only thing I handled very easily."

She paused slightly and emphasized her tone. "Because when the individual soldier handled this matter, there was no violation of regulations in the front and back."

"..."

After saying this in one breath, she stopped and looked up at everyone.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned towards Chen Jing, including Minister Shen and Mr. Su.

Facing the gazes of so many people, Chen Jing straightened up slightly, not letting the pain in his abdomen affect him, and said in a calm and powerful voice, "So my opinion is, why can't we really treat this application report as an application?"

"..."

Chen Jing's words caused a moment of strange silence in the conference room.

There were many speculations in the discussion, but the one proposed by Chen Jing sounded a bit ridiculous.

A person with such ability, at such a time, submitted such an application...

... Is it really just an application?

In addition, for the examples she gave, people who seem to do everything according to the rules should be trustworthy, right?

But why did it make the people present feel even more awkward?

Minister Shen was the first to frown, and then planned to speak.

"By the way, I have one more thing to add."

Chen Jing rushed before him, spoke again, and said softly, "If a single soldier forces his way out of the city, we shouldn't be able to stop him."

The conference room became silent for a moment.

Lu Xin, who was sitting leisurely in the conference room, basking in the sun, eating candy, and looking through the unfinished special pollution classification and level training materials, immediately sat upright when he saw the satellite phone ringing.

It was Chen Jing who called. Lu Xin always knows how to maintain basic respect when facing leaders.

"Hey..."

The clear and powerful voice of Chen Jing rang on the phone. "I saw your application report, do you want to go out of town?"

Lu Xin nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

He lowered his voice subconsciously, looked up, and saw only himself and Gecko in the empty conference room.

However, when he heard that he was on the phone, Gecko had no intention of leaving, or maybe he didn't realize that he was making a very important phone call. At this time, he was lying by the window on the fourth floor, looking at the pedestrians on the street with bright eyes.

From time to time, he would whistle and then say "hey hey hey" or "tsk tsk tsk tsk".

On the phone, Chen Jing's voice dropped slightly and said, "I suggest you not to go."

Lu Xin was slightly startled and said, "Why?"

Chen Jing was silent for a moment and said, "In the wilderness, there are many dangers and accidents. As a person who grew up in High Wall City, after you go out, no one knows whether you can adapt or what unknown troubles and changes you will encounter."

"In addition, the knights you want to chase are not easy to deal with."

There was the sound of paper flipping on the other end of the phone. It seemed that Chen Jing was looking at the information. After a while, it rang. "We have conducted a preliminary investigation on this knight group. Although we don't know their background, origin, or even the specific number of people, we can already know from the traces they left in the city that there are at least three ability users among them..."

"The first one is No. 041 Special Pollution Event's key figure, Qin Ran."

"This person's specific abilities are unknown, but it is suspected that he has the ability to be a clone or even reborn."

"The second one is the Puppet-type ability user. He once controlled a mentally modified person to snipe our investigation convoy... Although you saved me at that time, I think you also know how dangerous the specific situation was at that time."

"There is another one, which is the promoter of No. 093 Special Pollution Event that has affected the entire Satellite City No. 2. It has not yet been determined whether he used some kind of Pollution Source to achieve the effect, or whether it was a developmental use of his own abilities. But the fact that he can cause such a big chaos can already prove his strength. This person's spiritual level must be much higher than that of ordinary ability users."

"..."

After saying so much in one breath, Chen Jing whispered, "You were recruited by me not long ago, and the basic training has not been completed. And until now, you have only handled a few Special Pollution Event, and you have no experience in fighting with ability users, so..."

"... It will be very dangerous if you go out to chase them!"

"..."

Lu Xin listened to Chen Jing quietly and felt that it was very quiet over there.

After thinking for a while, he said thoughtfully, "I really have no experience fighting against other ability users."

Vaguely, Chen Jing seemed to be relieved.

Then Lu Xin said, "However, they probably have no experience in dealing with me."

Chen Jing's expression seemed tense.

After a while, Lu Xin heard her slowly say, "Tell me the real reason why you want to go out and chase them."

"This..."

Lu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that no matter who does something wrong, they must pay the price..."

"..."

At this time, the Main City and Special Purity Department conference rooms were full of people, looking at the phone Chen Jing placed on the table.

The phone was on and the serious voice of Lu Xin came from inside.

This sentence made everyone in the room look at each other, feeling that what he said was very reasonable and reasonable.

But because it is too reasonable, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Gradually, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Chen Jing, who was facing the satellite phone, was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Have you heard about the reward?"

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

In the conference room, countless eyes suddenly looked at Chen Jing.

Why did you suddenly mention something as trivial as offering a reward when we were talking about such an important topic?

"..."

After Chen Jing mentioned this sentence, Lu Xin's voice came up after a while, obviously panicked. "No, it's really not. I just think that they just entered the city and killed so many people. They did too much..."

"So I want to go out and capture them and make them pay for what they did in Satellite City..."

"Reward or something..."

After a pause, he added in a low voice, "Isn't that something we can talk about later?"

"..."

The voice coming from the phone had a slightly different tone.

But you can still hear the change and tension in Lu Xin's voice, and guess Lu Xin's expression at this time.

As a result, everyone in the conference room looked at each other with strange expressions.

Chen Jing, as if a huge stone had been put down in his heart, raised his head and looked at Mr. Su, who was sitting in the middle.

Mr. Su had a thoughtful smile on his face.

He looked at Chen Jing and nodded.

Chen Jing's face became relaxed at this time, and he said to the phone, "I can approve this application..."

I can approve this vote, as well as the reward!
