In the office of the third squad of Maomu City’s Special Duty Team, Ye Hanlei handed the organized report to Captain Chen, who called her back and said,
"You’ve worked hard. The more serious incidents have been resolved. You all can take a good break now."
"Whenever you say this, we end up being extremely busy."
A special duty team member looked at Captain Chen with resentment and said, although he was just comforting them, it always seemed too coincidental. Hearing her complaint, Captain Chen awkwardly laughed. Even though he didn’t want to admit it, it really seemed to be the case. Just then, the phone rang, and everyone sighed with despair, some even exaggerated their expressions to tease.
"What are you guys up to?"
Фэн Юань stood at the door, curiously observing the group and said softly. Liao Yu glanced at Фэн Юань and replied casually, suddenly reacting with surprise and staring at Фэн Юань, "Why are you here? Is there some big trouble again?"
"How could that be? If it really was something like that, do you think I would come over personally? I would definitely call you to handle it."
Shooting a glance at Liao Yu, Фэн Юань replied with some irritation, but the people present showed uncomfortable expressions upon hearing Фэн Юань’s words. After finishing the call, Captain Chen sighed and said,
"Okay, it’s my mistake. I shouldn’t have said such a thing."
"Could it be..."
Everyone felt an ominous premonition. He nodded helplessly and said,
"The special task group for combating illegal spirit beast capture informed us to cooperate with them in cleaning and capturing those underground trading points in Maomu City. This time, everyone will act together, even the defense team will be joining us.
Well, sorry, this matter is very important, so..."
Captain Chen looked apologetically at Фэн Юань, implying that Фэн Юань might need to temporarily stick close to them to avoid being blamed if the operation leaks information. However, Фэн Юань wasn’t bothered by this. Instead, he glanced at Agunas and said,
"This must be the post-impact of the Chidu City incident, right? Do you want to get involved in this?"
"I’ll bring in Drudgeon to help. They’ll definitely have no escape!"
Agunas said fiercely. Veronia remained silent for a moment and said,
"Do you have relevant data? I can help you temporarily block the main entrances and exits, but for tracking, I’m powerless."
It lacks the corresponding authority, the tracking can only be done using similar methods as the Special Duty Team, not like Agunas and Белусир, who can bypass all kinds of interference and obtain accurate intelligence directly.
Unfortunately, Белусир is currently not around; otherwise, it could act together with Белусир.
"It’s really interesting to have something big happening as soon as I arrive here."
Фэн Юань chuckled, lightly patting Xiao Ji’s back and said, he didn’t mind joining Captain Chen’s team’s operation since he came today intending to hang out with Liao Yu and the others.
As they followed Captain Chen out, Фэн Юань noticed a man in one of the teams whose expression changed. He rubbed his chin and said softly,
"Didn’t think he’d join the Special Duty Team. But still, they should assign him a job..."
"Who are you talking about? That one? Isn’t he a hero? Although he didn’t make a decisive impact on the border war, that seems to be due to your intervention. After all, after lurking for so many years, the cost paid..."
Following Фэн Юань’s gaze, Liao Yu immediately understood whom he was talking about and could only hear him constantly mentioning the deeds of a man named Dou Zhengrong. If it weren’t for the border war, he would have successfully infiltrated into the middle ranks of Quine’s army. Unfortunately, after his identity was exposed, Great Xia completely lost its intelligence source on Quine.
Now being mentioned by Liao Yu, Фэн Юань recalled something and looked at Veronia, saying,
"I think we might need to place some pawns in Quine. Do you find Quine’s situation suspicious?"
"Quine... indeed. But this matter might require Little Crocodile to handle. I don’t have the right means on my side, and you know my relationship with other Божественный зверьs isn’t great."
Veronia in its original form spread its hands and said, although they are Божественный зверьs from the Mythical Era, Agunas has recently formed friendships with many other Божественный зверьs, while it’s different.
As for asking Белусир to step in, leaving aside its unwillingness, as a rather famous Божественный зверь, although it hasn’t been active much in recent times, it just recently circled around with Фэн Юань in the Dantia Region. If Quine pays attention, there’s no reason it wouldn’t be discovered.
"Yeah, should we let Eclipse or Xilnais intervene?"
With a frown, Фэн Юань said softly, if it weren’t for their attribute problems, having them intervene would be a good choice, given humans don’t know much about them. Unfortunately, the attribute problems prevent them from easily hiding their identities or that of their subordinates.
Therefore, such clandestine investigations can’t involve them. Liao Yu glanced at Фэн Юань and said speechlessly,
"Why are you discussing such important secrets here?"
He motioned for Фэн Юань to look at those around them. It’s inevitable. When Фэн Юань talked to Veronia, he didn’t lower his voice, and even if he did, it couldn’t be hidden from those who cared. Although he believed the Special Duty Team didn’t have spies, that was merely his own belief, such important matters ought to be discussed privately.
"Nothing to worry about; if we act, they might really not notice."
Фэн Юань was unconcerned, especially considering Agunas as the Time Божественный зверь could entirely pre-create identity for the pawns it plants, and he didn’t intend to make Agunas find ways to insert humans, spirit beasts could perfectly hide themselves.
Of course, if they could ignore time disturbances from the past, they might detect anomalies. Unfortunately, the correction of time is always underway. Not even Фэн Юань can be sure which changes are man-made.
As long as Agunas pre-creates a credible identity in past history, it would be far more believable than the identities Dou Zhengrong and his team obtained during the chaos after the Endu disaster, and if replaced by spirit beasts, then it goes without saying.
Most people wouldn’t suspect spirit beasts of such crafty thoughts, although important areas may be guarded, these defenses are rarely aimed at spirit beast communities residing there for long.
Liao Yu was unaware of this; for safety reasons, he signaled Фэн Юань not to discuss the matter further, to which Фэн Юань smiled without retorting. Agunas wagged its tail and said,
"I agree, Quine is indeed suspicious. I’ll find a way to send people there. If it’s really them causing trouble, even Socrates will face punishment!"
It hasn’t forgotten the disruption to the earth energy circulation during the border war. If not for that incident, these illegal spirit beast capturing organizations wouldn’t be so active, and under environmental changes, many spirit beast communities had to migrate. If they hadn’t been unable to find the culprit, these angered Божественный зверьs would have exploded long ago.
"Do you suspect the one causing trouble in the border war was Quine?"
Liao Yu asked curiously, looking at Фэн Юань. The latter shook his head and said,
"I can only say it’s suspicious. Other countries like Xingchan also have histories that can’t be checked, but Great Xia sent more people to Quine than any other country, perhaps sensed something off."
Though he harbors this suspicion, Фэн Юань hasn’t thought of asking Great Xia officially since all the Божественный зверьs are already investigating. If there were clues, he trusts Great Xia would speak up, and the reason for silence could only be an intuition, believing Quine may do harm to Great Xia, hence acting this way.
"Intuition? We do suspect Quine as well, given Socrates’ odd reaction. But, oh well, hiding it from them to investigate isn’t difficult."
Wagging its tail, Agunas remarked, then Фэн Юань noticed Dou Yanlan in the team walking over and asked her curiously,
"Why are you here too?"
"Delivering lunch to him, coincidentally came across this."
Holding Cotton, Dou Yanlan said softly, although ultimately forgiving him, but...
"Bad luck, huh~"
"What about you?"
"Came to hang out with Liao Yu and the others, also seeing if there’s anything here to fulfill external practical tasks."
Фэн Юань said casually. Hearing this, Dou Yanlan paused, chuckled, and said,
"You really are something. Others complete external practical tasks under the guidance of senior students or teachers in the wild, while you use Special Duty Team’s affairs as substitutes."
Although strictly speaking, affairs of the Special Duty Team are more troublesome, generally, people wouldn’t do this.
