After waking up from my sleep, it was already close to noon. “Du du” my phone rang. It was Wang Xin’s number——
“Do you need something, Captain Wang?”
“Yeah, come to HQ” Wang Xin’s voice was heavy. He said, “Something’s happened.”
“What happened?”
Wang Xin said, “Last time, do you still remember Qin Meng? There’s some hints as to where he is. Shen Bing’s gotten pretty close with Wei Fan, and a person called You Yi in the game. From them, she was able to get some information. Qin Meng’s name was mentioned. It was in a list of failed products. Based on the records after he was injected with the medicine, his body underwent a sudden change. There was a 30% risk, and so all of the people that participated in that experiment were labeled as “Evolution Failure”. Qin Tai was one of them. We’re still not sure how Blood Scythe buried the bodies, but….. Shen Bing got some information from You Yi in the game. You Yi said that once every month, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, they’ll deal with some failed experiments at a chemical plant south of the city…..”
“Chemical plant?” I was puzzled.
“Yup, so they can use the big furnace, and burn the bodies!”
“This….” I made a fist, “Once we find the chemical plant, are we just going to clean it up?”
“You could say that.” Wang Xin gave a frustrated sigh, “There are some workers that are protesting at that chemical plant today. On top of that, it might get violent really quickly. The people up top are focusing on this event, and have already sent out some cops to maintain the safety there. However…I think that this might be some ploy by Wei Fan. He’s probably using his contacts on the web, and trying to make the situation bigger than it is so that he can burn the failed experiments in the midst of the chaos. Who would’ve thought that a place covered with so many Special Forces would have such a sinful act be committed, right under their noses?”
I squinted my eyes, “I understand. Captain Wang, you want us to…..”
“Exactly!”
Wang Xin said, “I need you to wear a Special Forces uniform, and go to the scene. I want you to mix in with the other Special Forces members, and investigate the specifics of the situation. I won’t bore you with any other details, just hurry over. How many people will you need?”
“10! And I need two Royal Air tier experts to go with me.”
“Got it!”
……
I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face, then put on a clean set of clothes and walked out the door. At the school gate, a black and white car was waiting for me. The driver poked his head out the window, “Head, over here!”
I recognized him. He was one of the officers at HQ. I hurried onto the car, and quickly arrived at HQ. Shen Bing stood at the door, dressed in a crisp uniform. She welcomed me with a smile, “This time we have to complete the task successfully. But, I can’t go with you this time. Commander Wang said that I don’t have enough muscle power, so going would just add to your troubles….”
I laughed, “Ok, where are the clothes?”
“In the car! Change quickly!”
“Ok!”
In the car, I quickly changed into the new attire. On my chest, rested my old police badge, the three words, Li Xiao Yao, were printed in silver. I thought, there must be plenty of other police officers like me, who were out there risking their lives for the sole sake of making sure that this holy police badge would never have dirt on it. Without a strong purpose, how else would people continue down this path?
