Chapter 3 The blessing of surviving a catastrophe?
Li Qing held the thermal imaging night vision device towards Lin Zuzu's room, and he saw two groups of heat sources entering the room.
On the rooftop, the mysterious girl suddenly appeared out of thin air, with a different magic trick on her hand.
"Hi, Brother Qing, long time no see."
Li Qing put down the night vision goggles, turned around and said, "Long time no see, Miss Ming."
Ming Qiaoqiao smiled playfully and said, "Brother Qing, please pack up and go back to the team."
"you mean?"
"This girl has no mental power at all. Even if the situation just happened, I didn't notice any difference."
Li Qing did not answer immediately. He lowered his eyes and seemed uncomfortable with the words.
It was indeed him who called Zhang Xiuying.
No, that's not quite accurate. He just told her the truth about the accident that happened to the target.
Although he didn't know why the target didn't want to see his mother, ignoring other people's wishes for the sake of the mission was not something he was willing to do.
Although, this is clever advice.
As a natural user of mental power, she clearly knows that when human beings experience severe emotional fluctuations, they will erupt with huge mental power. Therefore, if they are really gifted, it will be easier to detect.
When the mother and daughter met, Ming Qiaoqiao used mind control spells to disrupt the girl's heart, causing her to lose control of her emotions. However, she did not show any signs of having any mental talent.
So, this girl is just a muggle.
As the descendants of Ming Chongyan, a master of illusion and physiognomy in the Tang Dynasty, the "Ming" family has been one of the family forces valued by the government since ancient times.
Not to mention that at only sixteen years old, she has already become a member of the "Messenger" with her strong mental power and skillful ability to control illusions.
Therefore, Ming Qiaoqiao is very confident in his own perception ability.
You know, the average age in this department is 21 years old.
Li Qing knew that she was not lying. The biggest characteristic of the "messenger" is honesty.
A prohibition spell is carved on their tongues, so that if they lie, they will be unable to make any sound. A death curse is also buried in their hearts. Once they feel betrayed by the government, their hearts will be crushed immediately.
Even if they are as powerful as aliens, once their hearts are destroyed, there is nothing they can do to save themselves, let alone weak humans.
Even though the conditions are so harsh, many young people still want to join the "Messenger".
In the eyes of others, this is a job that pays more but does less and is safer. They don’t have to run around all the time, work hard, and go through life and death like the people in the special operations team or the intelligence agency. Even if they come to work occasionally, they are still far away.
They provide support everywhere and rarely go to the battlefield at close range.
Of course, Mingqiaoqiao is not for these superficial but practical reasons.
In other words, her purpose is simpler——
Ming Lifang, the leader of the four "chief messengers", is the head of the "Ming" clan and is also her great-aunt.
This legendary old lady who is nearly sixty years old was an eyewitness to the last alien war.
At that time, Ming Lifang, who was only twenty years old, without any magic amplification, forcibly covered an area with a diameter of five kilometers with herself as the midpoint with her mental power. As if she had opened her eyes, she could control the battlefield situation in real time.
It accurately relayed combat missions to soldiers on all sides, quickly ended the stalemate, and achieved regional victory. Then it gathered the remaining troops to support other combat areas, directly minimizing human losses.
Ming Lifang became famous in one battle and is a veritable war hero. The importance of "The Messenger" has also been increased many levels because of her.
This is Ming Qiaoqiao's example, and perhaps her life's goal.
"Then how to explain her resurrection from the dead?"
"Occasionally, there are soft-hearted gods, right?" Ming Qiaoqiao no longer took that ordinary girl to heart.
"Speaking of which, sister Qin'er still hasn't changed her mind?"
"You know my sister, she is like this."
"Brother Qing, you are the same. With your strength, why do you want to stay in this small 11th team and be controlled by that useless captain..."
"Miss Ming, please go back and rest early. Thank you very much for your help today." This was the first time Li Qing interrupted her.
Ming Qiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "I also do it for Sister Qin'er's sake. Brother Qing, please tell her that the "Messenger" still welcomes her to join."
Li Qing nodded, but he knew that his sister, who had repeatedly rejected the "Messenger's" invitation and even sealed most of her mental power, would never change her mind so easily.
On the rooftop, peace returns.
Li Qing looked at Lin Zuzu again and was surprised to find that the thick curtains had been opened.
Zhang Xiuying moved two chairs to the balcony, helped Lin Zuzu sit down, and mother and daughter basked in the sun together.
She is completely different now than she was in the hospital.
At that time, she was polite and restrained, always carefully watching other people's faces, and never showed strong emotions except when talking on the phone.
Just... like a non-toxic mushroom, not wanting to attract too much attention from others, living a low-key and lonely life.
Li Qing looked at her relaxed smile and made a decision that went against the captain's mission.
This is good, stop being a little mushroom.

In the darkness that ordinary people would not pay attention to, there stood two slender figures.
"Elise, I don't like it here."
The man who spoke was extremely handsome, but his deep mixed-race face was now filled with dissatisfaction. He was careful not to touch the filth here.
At this moment, a pair of delicate white hands appeared in the darkness, passed under his arms, and hugged him gently.
"Oh, dear brother Carlos, it won't be long." The woman's voice was sweet and charming.
Perhaps it was the soft touch on his back that dissipated Carlos' anxiety a lot.
A ray of sunlight shot in from the gap above their heads and hit the man's face, revealing his enchanting eyes, one black and one silver.
Suddenly, a low howl sounded not far away, as if a group of wild beasts were hiding in the darkness, with dozens of pairs of red eyes flashing.
Those are "scavenging hyenas", animals of the genus Canis. They live in groups, have low intelligence, and are no different from ordinary dogs. They forage at night and like to eat scavenging garbage. During the day, they hide in dark places such as sewers. They generally do not take the initiative to attack.
Human beings, it has little impact on society, and the risk level is D.
Carlos bared his teeth and burst out with powerful momentum, and the animals whimpered and retreated.
"Elise, I... am thirsty and want to drink something... sweet..."
This sentence made the woman look stern, and she knew that there was not much time left.
Carlos, who is of the moon attribute, is one of the few advanced mutants among the elves. In order to save his sister, he had no choice but to fall. However, he was kind-hearted, so his fall was not complete.
Not only that, the pain and contradiction of killing caused the direction of his depravity to change. He was not an ordinary dark species, but... a blood elf that even the fallen could avoid.
They are as bloodthirsty as the ancient vampires, but not as naturally powerful as this group of night nobles blessed by demons. The fragile body of the elves is extremely easily controlled by the desire to eat, resulting in a crazy and bloodthirsty appearance.
"Dear brother, I promise you, we will go out after a few more hours."
The woman lightly drew a complicated spell in the void, emitting green light, and the healing power enveloped the man. The elven aura contained in it temporarily allowed his kind side to temporarily gain the upper hand.
"Okay, Elise, I will listen to you."

"Why……"
Looking at the thick documents on the coffee table, Yi Tingxie, who was lying on the sofa, couldn't help but sigh, with his long hair spread out messily.
Li Qin behind the desk completely ignored the negative energy of the good-for-nothing captain, and moved his fingers quickly on the keyboard. The intelligence, data and mission information piled high on the side were disappearing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
Seeing this, the decadent man could only sigh again.
I thought that destroying the slave trader's den would be troublesome enough, but who would have thought that on the way to transfer, two of the seven elves that had just been taken into custody by the Special Relations Group suddenly degenerated into dark species for unknown reasons.
, killed all the transport personnel and then escaped. The five young elves traveling with him seemed to be too frightened and unable to provide effective information.
The Elf King opened the entrance to return at sea. They went berserk on the coastal road in District 12 and began to flee. The last trace disappeared in District 11, so the mission from above followed, ordering them to catch the prisoner quickly.
.
No, why do you keep running here? I am in such a bad place...
Yi Tingxie may not have thought that it was because of his carelessness, lack of manpower in Team 11 and other reasons that criminals thought this was a good place to escape.
Finding someone is not like fighting, it is not something that can be solved in an instant.
"The government has issued a reward order. My brother Carlos is 800,000 yuan, and he is rated as a C-level leader. My sister Elise has not made a move for 500,000 yuan. She has not been rated yet, but she does not rule out having other powers."
Each person's strength rating is based on dimensions such as destructive power, skill, controllability, and practicality, and is graded into 5 levels: D, C, B, A, and S. Except for S level, each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower.
Three levels.
This is true whether it is physical skills that gain fighting spirit through tempering the body, or spells that gain mental power to control elements through meditation.
Unlike mental power which requires talent, ordinary people can basically reach C level after rigorous physical training.
Therefore, the strength of these two dark species does not pose a threat in Yi Tingxie's eyes.
But the fallen dark elves are still a great threat to ordinary people.
"Any clues where they are?"
"There is no update from the Intelligence Bureau."
"Send the location where the clues were interrupted to Li Qing and ask him to go directly there. I'll ask my old friends. Li Qin, you can update us on clues at any time at the branch. If necessary, immediately request support from Team 10."
"Yes, Captain."
Yi Tingxie raised her long hair high, fixed the gorgeous silver knife on the belt around her waist, and put on the special leather jacket of the special operations team as she walked, looking as serious as a reliable adult.
Of course, it would be nice if he could shave.
Yi Tingxie went downstairs with great momentum. When he saw the parking space was empty, he was stunned for three seconds before he remembered——
The only car in the team was driven away by Li Qing.
Taking a taxi to save humanity? I didn’t expect that the captain of Team 11 would have to take an online taxi when he was on a mission.
