Inside the bureau's conference room.

At this moment.

The three captains, all Level 3 Psionic Warriors, sat like students, listening to the silver-haired young man speak.

"Ah."

Li Ying, seated at the edge of the conference room, let out a melancholy sigh. If he could, he would not have wanted to listen to this silver-haired young man's lecture either. But there was no helping it—the silver-haired young man was a special captain sent from above...

These days, when ordinary employees faced their immediate superior, a single rank higher was enough to crush them.

What was more, this silver-haired young man's position was a full rank and a half above Li Ying and the other captains!

"My plan is to divide your bureau's people into two groups to investigate their respective cases. However, the tools in their hands will be used to cross-investigate clues from the other case..."

"What you need to do is compile that information and give it to me. Then, I will analyze and sort through the materials..."

"That is the rough outline of the plan. Do the three of you have any questions?"

At the conference table, after Yin Chen finished explaining the plan, he looked up and asked the three captains before him with a smile.

"Yes."

After Yin Chen finished speaking, a dark-skinned, bald, burly man raised his hand and asked in a muffled voice, "Divine Grace Apostle, I just wanted to ask—can you organize that much information by yourself? Do you need the Mechanical Computer V3 in our bureau to help you sort through it?"

"You must be Captain Link?"

"You can rest assured about that. One of the Divine Grace Psionics I have mastered happens to let me quickly analyze any case."

Hearing that, Yin Chen reached up and scratched his hair. As flakes of dandruff fell loose, he spoke with a smug expression.

Below, the other two captains exchanged glances after hearing Yin Chen's words, their faces showing understanding.

Yin Chen.

That was the special captain's name, and he was an apostle from the Divine Grace Society in the capital.

A Psionic Warrior who wielded the power of Divine Grace.

Divine Grace Society.

Psionic Guild.

And the Mechanical Remains Society.

These were the capital's three Supernatural Factions.

Among them, the Divine Grace Society was allied with the Psionic Plainclothes Officers.

The two factions often helped each other.

It was said that every member of the Divine Grace Society had awakened Divine Grace under the will of the so-called God, gaining special psionic powers. As such, every one of them possessed incredible abilities.

Inside this conference room.

Yin Chen was like a patient teacher, calmly answering the questions of the three captains before him.

A moment later.

As though she had thought of something, Captain Bai Qian asked the final question with curiosity, "Mr. Yin Chen, according to the rules, it is inconvenient for our bureau to ask too much about the Divine Grace Society. But I am curious—what exactly did this person from the Mechanical Remains Society do that made you come all this way to arrest him?"

As soon as she asked that question, both Captain Li Ying and Captain Link looked up at Yin Chen curiously. Clearly, they were very curious about it as well.

At the conference table.

Yin Chen, who had been preparing to pack up and leave, paused as he heard the question.

A moment later, Yin Chen looked up. For the first time, the smile disappeared from his usually smiling face. "According to Divine Grace's instructions, this member of the Mechanical Remains Society created an evil Mechanical Remains. If he is not stopped, that evil Mechanical Remains will destroy a small city."

"According to Divine Grace's prophecy, the first place to be destroyed will be this city."

The entire room was horrified!

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"I'll immediately order my people to investigate it thoroughly."

"..."

The Slums.

Wang Zhong sat outside a milk tea shop, drinking jasmine milk tea while typing on his phone.

"Intelligence, what was that Weak Magnetic Barrier just now?"

"Weak Magnetic Field Barrier. It is a high-tech weapon that can block many wireless signals and prevent any signals from leaking out."

"Then, have you investigated the owner of that shop? Was there anything unusual?"

"The shop owner is a young man surnamed Zhong. A relative came to stay with him a week ago... This shop, which had never closed before, remained shut for five or six days in a row... It only reopened for business yesterday..."

"Do you have pictures of the two of them?"

"Pictures! Pictures!"

The next second, the Mechanical Phone A10 in Wang Zhong's right hand trembled slightly, and two photographs appeared on the screen.

One showed a sunny young man with a broad smile.

The other showed someone wearing a white mask and a white hat?

Perhaps because it was a screenshot, the figure in the second photograph was extremely blurry. Even Wang Zhong could not make out how old the person was.

Because the Bionic Patrol Crow beside him was monitoring him in real time, Wang Zhong had no way to have an in-depth conversation with Intelligence.

However, it was precisely because of this issue that he had already decided to deal with it tonight.

At this moment, Wang Zhong failed to notice that a black cat covered in dark fur was slowly walking past him, its cold orange-yellow eyes fixed ahead.

[Data connection... Surveillance feed updating...] [Special signal source detected. Sending location...] [Location record corrected. Sending...]

At the same time, a conversation that existed only within the mechanical data network flashed by silently.

Just like that, the afternoon passed.

Eight in the evening.

After returning to the bureau, Wang Zhong entered the locker room and first removed the surveillance chip from the Bionic Mechanical Crow.

After putting away the fingernail-sized surveillance chip in his right hand, Wang Zhong held the Bionic Mechanical Crow in both hands. Flickering arcs of deep-blue electricity appeared in his eyes.

Next, it was Wang Zhong's turn to get to work.

More importantly, there were no surveillance cameras in this locker room, making it the most convenient place for Wang Zhong to do what he needed to do.
