White Night Organization, spy meteor.
Le Yuxin gently exhaled a breath.
Qianyu Liu really left him a big gift.
"The grace of teaching shall not be abandoned with just one word. Our nation has stood for a thousand years, with loyalty, filial piety, honesty, and integrity as virtues. It's never to raise successors who betray their mentors," Lan Yan patted Le Yuxin's shoulder. "Since Mr. Lin has misunderstandings about the Statistical Department, it's necessary for you students to get involved in the investigation. If there's any injustice, you can clear Mr. Lin's name!"
Chen Fu nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, that's how it should be!"
Lan Yan continued, "But there's also a higher moral standard in 'great righteousness destroying personal ties.' If evidence shows Mr. Lin is a major suspect, as agents of the Imperial Court, you must remain loyal and not be biased. You must act according to the law, making the punishment clear and just."
"The Statistical Department won't wrong any good person nor let go of any bad person!"
Lin Jinyao's student, Gao Jin, snorted coldly, "Talking sounds better than singing but who doesn't know Professor Pan, Mr. Ouyang, Director Mu, and others were innocently captured by your Statistical Department, tortured in prison! The public's eyes are bright, and the sins of your Statistical Department are inexhaustible, abusing power, who doesn't know?"
"Professor Pan and Mr. Ouyang were caught on site shielding the Backlight Particle, while Imprisonment Department Director Mu Wei illegally released criminals, ignoring the Imperial Court. The evidence is conclusive. How did they become 'innocent individuals' in your words?"
Lan Yan adjusted his glasses, gently shaking his head, "Everything in the world is merely about 'reason.' If you have doubts, you can regularly come to the Statistical Department to check the case files. Our every action is openly reported; we catch who must be caught, release who must be released, as Executors of the law, we absolutely don't violate any rules. Where's the 'abuse of power'?"
"I must ask Lin and all of you esteemed students to return with us to the Statistical Department for investigation. Fulfilling our duties, we must apologize for the lack of courtesy. If there's any injustice, I will definitely confess in penance," Lan Yan waved, and all agents tightened the encirclement, pulling out handcuffs, pointing guns at Lin Jinyao and others.
Under the strong light, Gao Jin and other students displayed varied expressions, fear, indignation, but more panic. Only Lin Jinyao remained calm, with eyes flickering, unknown what he was contemplating.
Suddenly, Lin Jinyao laughed, "You think everything is under your control, Lan Yan."
Lan Yan signaled the agents to stop their actions, slightly raising an eyebrow, "Please enlighten me, sir."
"Not mobilizing other departments for coordination, just sending agents from the Statistical Department, indeed strikes swiftly and is hard to prevent. You think you're engaging in lightning warfare, but unknowingly you've stepped into a trap."
Standing in the strong light, Lin Jinyao faced the muzzle directly, rain splattering on his face, unable to hide his confident smile, "Lan Yan, this is your burial ground!"
"——A traitor, right."
At this moment, Kui Zhao beside Lan Yan said darkly, "Lin Jinyao, you think we don't know about the traitor you planted in the Statistical Department?"
Kui Zhao stepped forward, standing beside Le Yuxin, "Do you think we mobilized the entire Statistical Department just to capture you, a Backlight rebel? Now that you've exposed yourselves, it saves us the trouble of interrogation."
"Whether rebel or traitor, there's only one road—death!"
Le Yuxin stood frozen, unmoving.
Lan Yan then placed a hand on Le Yuxin's shoulder, with a tone of slight pity, "We've captured the rebels, exposed the traitor, troublesome things gather together, making things much simpler."
"What's regrettable is I never imagined you're the traitor… You act distracted, often scrutinizing me, I've long noticed your sinister traits."
At this moment, Le Yuxin immensely appreciated the skill 'Residual Blood Physique.'
Though he seemed calm, as if listening to someone else's story, internally he panicked severely, desperately wishing to flee!
To the left is Kui Zhao.
To the right is Lan Yan.
Behind are agents of the Statistical Department, clutching their guns.
An hour ago, Le Yuxin thought the 'survive 15 days' challenge should be a breeze. But in reality, let alone 15 days, he might not survive 1.5 hours!
Le Yuxin felt despair at his luck.
Honestly, who dies immediately upon transmigrating? Any less resilient spirit might break instantly;
Transmigrating to death aside, he even became a spy undercover—a high-risk job akin to 'nuclear detonation technician'—dying cleanly is the best perk, enduring torture is just occupational hazard;
But being a spy is one thing, yet within an hour of assuming this identity, the spy status got exposed!
How's one supposed to play this game, Le Yuxin had no room to maneuver!
Life isn't worth it, the sooner dead, the sooner relieved.
At this point, Agent Aili reports, "Captain, Director, many Charter reactions are approaching us!"
Le Yuxin glanced at the Light and Shadow Detector, noticing many red dots rapidly approaching the courtyard, their speed astonishing, the detector's range is 50 meters, yet in the blink of an eye, the red dots had reached outside, surrounding the agents!
Everyone looked up, seeing a dozen gray raincoat-clad troops on the outer wall. They raised light pistols aiming at the agents, who quickly adjusted their aim back at them, the situation instantly reversed into a standoff.
Though a level Awakener like Qianyu Liu could dodge bullets automatically, given sparse shots with long intervals, facing a bullet storm, even trained Statistical Department agents would perish!
Le Yuxin felt relieved, realizing Lin Jinyao had a backup plan. He secretly gripped his gun handle, his muscles tensed, ready to resist!
"What insignificant glow dares to compete with the bright moon? Pre-placed Backlight rebels, coupled with dozen sub-par fire sticks and a useless traitor, is this all you rely on?"
Kui Zhao stepped firmly forward, arms crossed behind, turning to Lan Yan with a smile, "Director, how many moves do you need?"
Lan Yan adjusted his glasses, "Five moves."
Kui Zhao laughed heartily, "Only five moves to kill him? All right, since Director needs five, I'll use just five too!"
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
Without even looking at me, openly discussing how many moves to kill me?
Le Yuxin appeared calm but was poised to strike. His first digested memories were Qianyu Liu's battle experiences, not yet fully integrated, but assisted by the 'Residual Blood Physique,' his combat power wasn't much less than Qianyu Liu.
Those possessing spiritual power are still human, can die if killed, get maimed if wounded!
Their combat strength gap wasn't an insurmountable level! Plus Le Yuxin's 'Substitute' ability, lacking fear of death, causing one side to fight fearlessly and the other with concerns, predicting the outcome was tough!
Thinking to kill me in five moves, whom do you think you are?
At this moment, Le Yuxin heard an angry voice like thunder coming from above Lin Jinyao:
"Thinking to kill me in five moves, whom do you think you are?"
