Outside the residential building.
[Secret Plan, Slum Streets.]
Manni took out Xiao Zhe's phone, opened the memo, and showed its contents to Captain Li Ying.
"What? The Slums?"
"Could Sain Mechanical Company be planning something in the Slums?"
"Or is Xiao Zhe planning to do something to the Slums?"
Looking at the contents of the memo, Li Ying stroked the beard on his chin with his right hand and muttered thoughtfully.
In fact,
the contents of this memo had been deliberately left behind by Wang Zhong.
His purpose was to give these [Psionic Plainclothes Officers] a warning.
After all, Sain Mechanical Company's goal might be to release these so-called [Half-demons] in the near future, allowing them to devour enough slum residents and grow even stronger.
"Ring, ring."
Just as Li Ying held Xiao Zhe's phone and fell into deep thought, it suddenly vibrated several times, followed by an incoming call alert.
"Wang Zhong?"
"Why is he calling Xiao Zhe? Could something have happened?"
Muttering to himself, Li Ying declined the call on Xiao Zhe's phone. Then he took out his own [Mechanical Mobile Phone Mate] and called Wang Zhong.
"Captain, it's so late. What do you need from me?"
"Wang Zhong, I want to ask you something. Did you arrange to meet Xiao Zhe tonight? What was it about?"
"Xiao Zhe and I agreed to have barbecue together tonight, but it's nearly ten already, and that kid still hasn't shown up!"
"Wang Zhong, listen to me. Xiao Zhe might not be able to meet you. We just received a report about a murder. The victim was Xiao Zhe, and he died right outside his own home..."
"What?"
"Captain, you're not joking, are you?"
"Wang Zhong, I wish I were joking too, but you know I never joke about serious matters."
Beep, beep!
Beep, beep!
Before Captain Li Ying could finish speaking, Wang Zhong hung up.
"That kid... he'll definitely rush over soon..."
Li Ying shook his head helplessly. Then he looked up at Manni beside him and said, "Manni, have the other team members escort Xiao Zhe's body back to the station first. I'll stay here and wait for Wang Zhong."
"Yes, Captain."
At that, Manni nodded, turned around, and efficiently assigned tasks to the other team members.
In less than ten minutes, Manni and the others had loaded Xiao Zhe's body into a car and driven away.
A few minutes later.
Standing outside the residential building, Li Ying saw Wang Zhong riding a small electric scooter straight toward him.
"Smack."
Li Ying immediately stepped forward and stopped Wang Zhong as he got off the scooter. With a stern face, he said seriously, "Wang Zhong, what are you trying to do? Destroy the scene?"
"Captain, is Xiao Zhe really dead?"
Still on the electric scooter, Wang Zhong looked up. He first glanced at the blue-and-white police tape outside the building, then asked Captain Li Ying sorrowfully, "Have you found out who killed Xiao Zhe?"
"We're still investigating that for now. You... you should go home first."
"At most, I can promise you this: once we find out who killed Xiao Zhe, I'll definitely tell you immediately..."
Looking at the grief-stricken Wang Zhong, Li Ying opened his mouth as though he wanted to tell him something, but in the end, he said nothing.
"Captain, you have to find the murderer and avenge Xiao Zhe!"
A moment later, anger filled Wang Zhong's eyes as he shouted sorrowfully at Captain Li Ying.
At that moment, in Li Ying's eyes, Wang Zhong had changed from a glib-tongued fellow into someone worthy of sympathy.
Because Li Ying did not dare tell Wang Zhong that his friend Xiao Zhe had been a mole.
Eleven that night.
Wang Zhong unlocked the door to his rented apartment with his key and walked inside with a sorrowful expression.
However, the moment Wang Zhong entered the room, the sadness on his face vanished, replaced by a chilling indifference.
On the sofa.
Wang Zhong slumped down wearily, clutching his head in both hands as he contemplated what came next.
Now,
the first small danger had been dealt with.
Next, it would depend on whether Sain Mechanical Company would follow its original plan and release those [Half-demons]...
"However, according to the station's rules."
"Once a mole is discovered within the station, it will activate self-inspection mode..."
"Along with the bottle of developing solution I left behind as a hint, the moles hiding in the station should reveal themselves one by one over the next period of time..."
"That way, Sain Mechanical Company will temporarily have no time to trouble me."
"Of course, blindly hiding isn't the right solution. So the most important thing for me right now is to become stronger."
As he spoke, Wang Zhong narrowed his eyes, and a cold, fierce glint surfaced within them.
[Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company].
It was a company that manufactured high-tech prosthetics.
Its headquarters was in the capital!
The capital was a first-tier city. It could be said that Level 3 Psionic Warriors were everywhere on its streets.
According to Wang Zhong's investigation, Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company had two main forms of armed defense.
The first was one thousand [Level 3 Psionic Warriors], along with several Level 4 Psionic Warriors equipped with [Mechanical Prosthetics].
The second was three [Level 5 Psionic Warriors] serving as supervisors... and one [Level 6 Psionic Warrior] serving as president.
Those were the two defensive forces of Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company.
Now,
with Wang Zhong's current Level 3 Psionic Warrior combat power, going up against Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company was nothing more than a dream.
Therefore, he could only remain hidden for now and quietly accumulate strength, hoping that one day he would be able to take on Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company.
If Wang Zhong were alone, that idea would have been pure fantasy.
But who told him he had the cheat known as the [Mechanical God Book]?
He knew very clearly that the [Mechanical God Book]'s power was far more than this. Perhaps once he unlocked and upgraded it, he would be able to create [Intermediate Mechanical Creations] and gain even greater power...
