Inside the conference room.
"Because this [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company] appeared to be conducting human experimentation, and they had already succeeded in transforming ordinary people into Half-demon warriors with [Demon Power]."
"Captain Li Ying and I had just received a secret tip-off, which was how we discovered this secret."
As he spoke, Yin Chen lowered his head and operated the Mechanical Computer. Then, a series of holographic projections shot up from the center of the conference table.
"A [Level 2 Psionic Warrior] injected with Demon Power could become a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior]..."
"I'm sure all of you captains understand what such an increase in power represents."
"These are the autopsy reports and combat power analyses for those dead [Half-demon warriors]..."
Swish, swish.
At that moment, images and reports began appearing across the holographic projections in a steady sequence.
As they continued reviewing the materials, Lin Ke, Bai Qian, and Li Ying all gradually grew grim.
Bloody! Powerful!
That was the first conclusion that came to their minds after reading the reports on the [Half-demon warriors].
Twenty minutes later.
Smack!
Having finished the report, Lin Ke could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. His muscular right hand slammed down on the conference table as he said furiously, "Now that we have this evidence, what are we still standing around for? Why don't we move out and arrest the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]?"
Yet the other two captains did not speak in support of Lin Ke's suggestion.
Instead,
Yin Chen raised his head and looked Lin Ke up and down. After glancing at his slightly balding forehead, he said, "I've long heard that Captain Link is brilliantly intelligent. Your idea is indeed a good one, but there's one issue we need to consider!"
"What issue?"
Lin Ke asked instinctively.
"Evidence. We have no evidence proving that these [Half-demon warriors] belonged to the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]..."
"Furthermore, we have no proof that these [Half-demon warriors] were truly Half-demons rather than so-called beastified warriors..."
Yin Chen's blunt words instantly shattered Captain Link's agitation, leaving the other two captains with helpless expressions as well.
That was right!
Evidence!
They had no evidence whatsoever proving that the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company] was guilty.
After all, the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company] had a [Level 6 Psionic Warrior] backing it!
Even their bureau would not dare provoke a [Level 6 Psionic Warrior] without evidence.
A Level 6 Psionic Warrior could form an army alone—and break one alone.
Across the entire world, there were only around two hundred publicly known, registered [Level 6 Psionic Warriors].
At that moment,
Captain Bai Qian, seated in the second seat of honor at the conference table, frowned and asked Yin Chen curiously, "By the way, if that's the case, who tipped you off about the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]'s conspiracy?"
At the conference table.
"Bingo."
Yin Chen, with his silver hair, snapped his fingers. Then he tapped the keyboard of the Mechanical Computer with his right hand. Soon, an ordinary figure dressed in a black cloak appeared before the other three captains.
"A Passing Dark Knight. That was what the informant called himself."
Yin Chen's left hand, covered in silver mechanical armor plates, rhythmically tapped against the tabletop as he continued, "It was also this person who killed four [Half-demon warriors], leaving us with this valuable evidence in the form of [Half-demon corpses]."
"So far, we know that this [Passing Dark Knight] possesses the combat power of a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior], highly skilled close-combat techniques, and expert marksmanship."
"According to what he said, he might have been born in the Slums, or perhaps he had a grudge against the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]. That was why he exposed this conspiracy to our bureau and had us deal with the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]..."
At this point, Yin Chen paused before emphasizing, "At present, we don't know what role this [Passing Dark Knight] played in the matter. But without question, because of him, we learned part of the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]'s conspiracy."
"At the same time, we noticed something else. The two [Psionic Plainclothes Officers] our bureau sent out had already been discovered by the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company], because those four [Half-demon warriors] had come specifically for them!"
"We need to act quickly. The Slums may very well be facing an unprecedented disaster!"
"So, each of you needs to do your part and move quickly."
This analysis made the other three captains clearly realize just how urgent and dangerous this operation was!
They had sent four [Level 3 Psionic Warriors] to deal with two minor targets.
If it was not because the [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company] had too many high-level combatants,
Then the company must have been plotting something even more important, which was why it had needed to eliminate those two [Psionic Plainclothes Officers] without fail!
Captains like Li Ying and Bai Qian were more inclined toward the latter possibility.
"Understood. I'll arrange for more forces to stand guard outside the Slums."
A moment later, Bai Qian stood up and said to Yin Chen solemnly, "At the very least, I'll make sure no more ordinary people in the Slums are harmed."
Right after that, Lin Ke stood up and said irritably, "I'll immediately have all team members on leave cancel their vacations and remain on standby at the bureau!"
Finally, Li Ying rose as well and said seriously, "I'll do my best to maintain the city's security. I absolutely won't let anyone lure us away from our post..."
Inside the rented room.
Wang Zhong was using Mechanical Communication, gripping a Mechanical Arm made entirely of Psionic Metal in his right hand. A delighted smile he could not hide covered his face. "Damn, aside from the fake power system, this entire mechanical left arm is actually similar to the power structure of a traditional [Mechanical Arm]!"
"Isn't this an [External Model Mechanical Arm]?"
"Looks like I can consider cosplaying a Marvel Winter Soldier assassin for my second new persona!"
