Chapter 078 The end of the action, promotion and salary increase
"I see."
Margaret sat behind the rosewood table, holding an old-fashioned telephone receiver. When she learned that the investigation was a great success, she looked calm and said:
"You have obtained enough 'evidence' to prove that Professor Ole is involved in demonic rituals and illegal card-making experiments, right?"
On the phone, Sigrid whispered:
"That... situation is a bit special, but in the end, the mission was accomplished..."
The little secretary picked up the telescope, looked at the ruins ahead and Professor Ole floating unconscious in the swimming pool, and his tone gradually became firmer:
"Anyway, team leader, you'll find out once you come to the site!"
"Understood." A cold light flashed across Margaret's eyes, "I will apply for an arrest warrant and lead a commando team to block the villa area. Ole Ness and Chimera are extremely dangerous. You should try to avoid head-on conflicts and evacuate as soon as possible."
"Actually, there is no need to evacuate." Sigrid hesitated: "Because Ole Ness has been knocked unconscious by Lin Xiao, and Chimera seems to have been defeated by him..."
"Um."
Margaret was thinking about the battle plan, her brows furrowed, as if she had just realized Sigrid's words, her eyes froze:
"Um?"
A quarter of an hour later.
Police cars roared in, and sirens echoed throughout the villa area. Most of the people living here were wealthy businessmen. They were afraid and disgusted with the investigation team and the police, and they still looked around curiously.
A petite red-haired Caucasian woman got out of the black car headed by her. She was wearing a black trench coat and a black shirt. She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose. She looked at the empty ruins in front of her, her eyes flickering.
"This is really..." Margaret sighed, "an incredible scene..."
Behind Margaret, the police officers and operators were chatting noisily. When they saw four figures walking in front of them, their expressions instantly softened and they were in awe.
Chu Yun had a gray face, his suitcase was filled with lime and blood stains, he still had a cigarette in his mouth, and his expression was numb;
The girl in red was in slightly better condition, walking at the back of the team, her beautiful red eyes staring closely at Lin Xiao's back;
"The team leader has changed his appearance today." Lin Xiao and the secretary whispered.
Sigrid held the folder and whispered: "The team leader originally wanted to lead the team himself to annihilate the Chimera, but our progress is a little ahead of schedule."
Lin Xiao glanced back at the ruins, then nodded slightly: "It's just a little effort."
Rows of police cars blocked the ruins. Margaret looked at Chu Yun who stepped forward to salute and said hesitantly:
"Raven... I remember that your commission was to sneak into the investigation, collect evidence, and secretly destroy the demon altar if you have the chance?"
"As you can see." Chu Yun said expressionlessly, "The operation was a great success."
Infiltrate, secret, agent, demolition office, berserker... For a time, a lot of words were swirling in Margaret's mind, and she couldn't put them into words.
In Margaret's silence, Chu Yun clenched his fists and coughed out blood, briefly recounted the mission and said:
"During the ten minutes of action, Qiao Linna, Lin Xiao and I acted separately. They successfully collected evidence of illegal experiments, but I bumped into Ole Ness and was forced to confront him..."
"Subsequently, Qiao Linna covered my evacuation, but Ole was extremely difficult to deal with, so Lin Xiao provided external support..." Chu Yun said.
Margaret interrupted the speech and said: "External support means demolishing the entire villa, exposing Ole Ness to the outdoors, and then knocking him out directly?"
Chu Yun looked back in silence.
Lin Xiao nodded and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "This is safer."
Margaret rubbed her eyebrows.
Did I underestimate Lin Xiao too much...
But even for a fifth-level master, it would be very difficult to destroy this villa within seconds.
What's more, the synthetic monster, the Chimera, which is more dangerous than Professor Ole, may also be solved by Lin Xiao single-handedly...
Even though I am a sixth-level grandmaster, I am not confident that I can do better than Lin Xiao in this operation.
Margaret took a deep breath, looked seriously at the four people in front of her.
"Effective immediately, Lin Xiao will be promoted to senior operator!"
The operators at the rear let out a sigh, looked at Lin Xiao, and saluted.
The new operator was promoted to a senior operator less than a month after joining the team, and the speed of promotion was terrifying.
And this credit was obtained by his outstanding performance in the two demon god incidents. If he had not been promoted to the group leader with his junior qualifications and unknown details, the operators would not be surprised.
Among the investigation team, the strong one always gets everyone's awe, not to mention the card-walker who can crush the fifth-level card-falling master and combine it into the monster 'Chimera'!
"The three of you each have your merits, and the organization will give you the rewards you deserve..."
Margaret was half-joking: "Sigrid, remember to go to Lin Xiao's room tonight. This is part of your reward~"
"Team leader!" Sigrid stared shyly with red eyes.
"Um……"
Margaret wanted to make a joke on Jolina, but she glanced at the blond girl who was as cold as an iceberg. After thinking about it, she stopped and said calmly:
"The commission difficulty and rewards will also be increased accordingly. Congratulations to you for completing this amazingly difficult A-level commission."
"Someone secretly increased the difficulty of the commission." Chu Yun complained quietly.
"You almost died in the line of duty, so I saved your life." Lin Xiao retorted.
This was true. Chu Yun did have the belief that he would delay Professor Ole and allow the team to evacuate. He couldn't help but fall silent.
Jolina held her forehead and sighed softly: "Actually, the threat Ole brings to me is far less harmful than the earthquake..."
"Haha, I'll pay attention next time." Lin Xiao mumbled through.
The police officers picked up the bloated Professor Ole from the pool. The dignified fifth-level master was still in a coma.
"The prisoner seemed to have been hit directly in the face with a blunt object, and then..." the police officer looked at Lin Xiao, then lowered his head to the ground, estimated the distance, "and flew into the swimming pool."
"Can it fly so far?!" Another police officer was dumbfounded, "I really want to see it live, it's probably just like playing golf!"
"It's too scary. The concussion is relatively mild...Okay, take him back to the police car!"
Professor Ole was handcuffed and held by the police, passing a blond woman with swollen eyes from crying. Her calf was held by her daughter who looked confused and cowered.
"Mrs. Ole." Margaret said calmly: "You are suspected of covering up the card trap master. Please come back to the investigation team with us... My daughter will be taken care of by our specialist."
"I know that Ole's doing this is against the card maker's rules, but he said that this is his idea. If he can make a mythical card, even death is worth it... For this reason, he did not hesitate to ask the devil for help... I, can
What should I do..." The woman sobbed again.
Margaret's eyes were hidden under her gold-rimmed glasses and flickered slightly.
The concept is the "Tao" of the card master. It is said that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
There are thousands of ways, but there are always some ways that should not exist in this world... It is the duty of the investigation team to protect the paths of most people.
Margaret looked at the ignorant child, her eyes showing tenderness. Over the years, she had seen too many cases like this.
For this reason, she established a foundation to raise homeless children... Ordinary people raise them until they are 14 years old. Those who ignite the fire will join the investigation team, and those who become card fallers will be killed.
It's not bad to be an ordinary person. After all, fire is both an ability and a responsibility.
"I will take her to her grandparents." Margaret said calmly, "Please feel free to come back to the investigation team with us."
The woman sobbed and nodded.
Parked in the distance was a modified off-road vehicle, with a tall one-eyed red-haired lady carrying a huge shield and leaning on the jeep while puffing away smoke.
Hemlock, the leader of the fourth group, was the one who forced the woman's car to stop and brought her back to the scene.
"Incredible." A black-haired girl sat cross-legged on the roof of the jeep. Hakoba looked at the ruins and said in surprise: "I heard it was the new operator who chopped it out with a single blow!"
Hemlock's eyes were complicated, recalling the scene when they first met, and said hoarsely: "I hope he doesn't have a vengeful character..."
The man in heavy armor and holding an explosion-proof shield looked up at the blue sky, and the grizzly bear felt his back was inexplicably wet.
Back then, when I was in charge of the assessment of new players entering the team, if he had shown his true skills, I might have been dead...
Boom.
Close the car door.
Lin Xiao sat in the back seat of the dilapidated car, looked at Chu Yun in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Has our mission been solved?"
"Yes." Chu Yun nodded and said, "There will be more than a thousand source dust in the future. According to the team distribution, you will get the big head."
"How embarrassing is that?" Lin Xiao smiled.
"I think you are quite embarrassed." Chu Yun said flatly.
There was a rumble outside the car, and it was Jolina who manifested herself as the "Red Baron on the Nimbus" and took the lead.
She planned to combine what she saw today and carefully organize her thoughts to speculate on Lin Xiao's true identity!
"Speaking of which..."
Lin Xiao leaned on the back of his chair and looked up at the roof of the car: "The ideas of the Card Faller are very extreme..."
"The card master's spiritual power is closely related to his source power. To be able to become a fifth-level master, Ole must have a good character."
Chu Yundao said: "The idea of Danka Master is just like what the word 'Chimera' symbolizes: it is an unrealistic dream."
"I cannot accept that I would cause others to get hurt just out of my own selfish desire to chase fantasy dreams." Chu Yun's eyes flashed.
Lin Xiao was still more concerned about the reward: "So, when will Yuan Chen get the money?"
"It's the day after tomorrow at the earliest." Chu Yun said.
"The day after tomorrow..." Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
Tomorrow is the Star Cup quarterfinals, the showdown between me and the Ghost Bride.
With the newly obtained "Arrogant Purple Jade", my probability of winning can be increased to 99%.
The day after tomorrow, I can receive at least a thousand source dust... Lin Xiao's heart palpitated.
