Chapter 266: Chapter 202: Investigative Spy! Director of the Night’s Watch?
“How is this possible?”
A bystander in shock asked, “This is the Night’s Watch headquarters after all. How can the Fallen Ones manage to plant spies here?”
Although Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue didn’t utter a word, their eyes undoubtedly asked the same question.
The elevator descended silently, with Wu Fuqing explaining, “The types of Professionists are as numerous as the stars, nobody knows what type of profession an ordinary person will awaken, or what special abilities they will comprehend.”
“There are some Professionists and the skills they have mastered can’t be fully detected even by us, who possess the power of heart probing.”
“For many years, there have indeed been a few spies of the Fallen Ones hidden within the Night’s Watch headquarters, leaking our information and intelligence from time to time, causing us great losses.”
Wu Fuqing continued, “Your arrival was indeed a pleasant surprise for us.”
“According to Yunxiao’s report, as long as a target bears ill-will towards you within your reconnaissance skill range, it can be marked as an ‘enemy’.”
“Now, as a member of the Night’s Watch, the Fallen Ones, as our humans’ arch-enemies, will definitely regard every member of the Night’s Watch with ‘ill-will’.”
“No matter how perfectly they fake their appearances, their underlying good or ill intentions cannot be concealed.”
“This is why we need you.”
After pondering for a few seconds, Zheng Cheng said, “I’ll give it a try.”
Soon, the elevator came to a stop.
Under Wu Fuqing’s lead, the three exited the elevator in an orderly manner.
“Director!”
“Director!”
“Director!”
A spacious hall lay beyond the elevator with numerous people coming and going.
Upon seeing Wu Fuqing, almost everyone stopped what they were doing, respectfully greeting him.
Wu Fuqing only gave a slight nod in response.
Startled, the civilian suggested quietly, “Brother Cheng, is it possible that Senior Wu is actually a director?”
Zheng Cheng gave a slight nod of confirmation, “Keep it down!”
“Uh~” the civilian whispered even quieter, “Was that all an illusion? My God, I didn’t even realize when I became a target. That’s incredible!”
Zheng Cheng, recalling his encounter with Wu Fuqing, murmured, “The elevator entrance, the reflection in the glass!”
“That’s when we fell under Senior Wu’s illusion!”
What he didn’t say was that Wu Fuqing, or rather Director Wu’s power, was no less than an Epic Level!
Given he worked as a Night’s Watch Director, even a vice director would certainly not be weak!
Shortly after, Wu Fuqing led Zheng Cheng and the rest into a massive office.
Once the three entered the office, the crowd began to buzz with conversation.
“Who are those three kids?”
“Never seen them.”
“Could they be new recruits to our department?”
“Impossible! To join our special department, one has to be at least a yellow rank member…”
“That little girl is quite pretty~”
“What are you all gossiping about? Have you completed your tasks yet? Get back to work!”
“Ah… Yes, captain!”
The entire office was in disarray, with two shadowy figures walking in, looking rather unsure while glancing towards Wu Fuqing’s office.
Behind them, another three shadowy figures followed suit.
One, a fashionable young woman with an exquisite face in office attire, curiously asked, “Who are those three kids with the boss?”
“Old Bai, what do you think?”
The one referred to as Old Bai was a short but stoic man.
He shrugged, “How would I know? Does the boss need to report to us when he’s working?”
“Hehe, I’m just thinking about you.”
The young woman giggled, “Look, there are three of them, all young. They must be the new recruits for our special department.”
“The only ones who can bring in the new hires now are you, Jia Bahe, and Hong Mou. Considering you’re so close, it must be you!”
Old Bai shook his head, “Taking care of newcomers is troublesome. I couldn’t be bothered.”
“Who says so~!”
The young woman gave a cheeky giggle, and wrapped her arm around the petite, attractive woman standing behind her, “Just look at our Mengmeng, she’s so cute—compliant and hardworking. How many people envy me!”
The adorable woman caught in the hug was Lu Mengmeng.
Blushing, she worked hard to wriggle out of her leader’s embrace, huffily saying, “Meng Yao, we’re at headquarters! Let me go!”
Meng Yao pouted, “Aww, these boorish men sure are uncouth. Mmm, Mengmeng, would you like to come over to my house tonight? I’ll cook something delicious for you, what do you think?”
“No!”
Lu Mengmeng firmed her jaw, “I have something to do tonight!”
“What? Could it be a date?”
“Impossible!” Faced flushed, Lu Mengmeng replied, “Our Priest Guild has a gathering tonight, I have to attend!”
“The Priest Guild, huh…”
Meng Yao’s eyes lit up, “Are there lots of pretty girls? Can you include me?”
With a frown, Lu Mengmeng shook her head violently, “No! Only Professionists of Priest can join our guild.”
“Ah, that’s too bad…”
In the office.
“Sit.”
As the three took their seats, Wu Fuqing spoke directly, “Zheng Cheng, can you start now?”
“Yes.”
Zheng Cheng nodded and immediately activated his Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique.
Instantly, an eerie psychic wave radiated from his body, surging in all directions.
His Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique was now at Level 6, with a range of full three thousand meters!
The entire Night’s Watch base building fell within his monitoring scope.
Soon, densely clustered green dots appeared on the 3D map of Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique.
These green dots represented teammates, represented companions.
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Cheng’s brows furrowed.
At the first sign, Wu Fuqing asked, “What, did you find something?”
Zheng Cheng said, “There’s a target with ill intentions towards me right outside the door.”
“What?”
Wu Fuqing exclaimed, “This is a special department, it’s for the Night’s Watch members who have been thoroughly vetted. How is it possible …”
Zheng Cheng opened his eyes with a helpless sigh, “Senior Wu, this is a feedback from my ability. I don’t recognize the target, I can only identify their true identity from their ill-will.”
“And, this is my first time here, I don’t know anyone. If they can harbor ill intentions towards me, it can only mean one thing: their ill-will is aimed at the Night’s Watch.”
“Every member of the Night’s Watch is their enemy, which also indirectly proves their identity.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can …”
Wu Fuqing waved his hand, “I trust Yunxiao’s judgment.”
“Continue your search, gather all the individuals with questionable identities, I’ll personally verify them!”
“This … alright.”
Zheng Cheng could only nod helplessly, as the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique continued to encompass the entire building.
Soon enough, numerous green dots appeared in Zheng Cheng’s mindscape.
However, among these green dots, several bright red ones were particularly noticeable!
