Chapter 1170: Chapter 976: Job Change to Succubus_2

It was a routine task, yet he felt inexplicably refreshed, as if the fatigue from staying up all night had vanished.

Despite this being their first meeting, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had some history of gratitude and grudges with the man before him.

Dealing with cases methodically is part of the professional ethos of an investigation bureau agent, and his current task was to send this terrorist to prison.

"It’s a pity, I thought we could become friends."

This was indeed Benjamin’s genuine thought.

He deeply appreciated people like Angle who took their work seriously, especially those who were willing to put themselves in danger for a case. If their relationship could continue, he had already contemplated recruiting him to join "The Keeper" after the event was over.

"As a friend, let me give you a piece of advice."

Facing the anti-terrorist mobile force and investigation bureau agents who had surrounded the hotel so tightly that not even water could escape, Benjamin wasn’t the least bit flustered. He glanced at the armed drones positioning their rotary cannons towards the hotel lobby, "You rely too much on machines. Nowadays you can never be sure whose side they’re really on."

...

Song Lan was awoken by a series of loud booms.

Though a movie enthusiast, he certainly didn’t enjoy hearing the sounds of gunfire in his sleep.

The news broadcasting live on TV made clear the source of the gunfire—a notorious terrorist from abroad appeared in the Royal Margaret Hotel they were staying in. A blunder occurred during the operation to capture him by the anti-terrorist mobile team. The armed drones suffered interference from some unknown signal and began indiscriminately firing on members of both the mobile team and investigation bureau agents.

Several members of the anti-terrorist mobile team suddenly exhibited symptoms of cyber psychosis, wielding thermal cutting blades to strike at their own comrades. The incident has so far resulted in 12 agents’ deaths, with the terrorist named Benjamin Abell escaping amidst the chaos. The investigation bureau issued a new bounty, offering a reward of 28.6 million watts.

In this era, that was definitely a hefty bounty.

The TV was turned on by Lu Xiang, who had already dressed and tied back her long hair.

"It seems Benjamin has a natural affinity with artificial intelligence."

She commented.

In the year 2167, Benjamin Abell had military technology behind him, and now, being able to instantly reprogram the anti-terrorist mobile team’s armed drones and induce cyber psychosis among the team members, would require higher-level privileges.

Such as those hiding behind the scenes, afraid of Song Lan’s presence, relying on others to gather information—RT1.

"Get up, it’s time to work."

Upon hearing Lu Xiang’s call, Song Lan glanced at his phone beside the pillow.

6:02 in the morning.

Clearly, this wasn’t the time for work—a full sleep until 10 a.m. could only let one feel the true essence of happiness.

Yet Lu Xiang, as always, was tireless. If he remembered correctly, they had closed their eyes past 3 a.m.—3 hours of sleep, how was that different from attempted murder?

"Aren’t you tired?"

Before even getting out of bed, Song Lan was already yawning.

Even if the fierce battle downstairs had not yet ended—a drone whirring with a chainsaw sped past their window during their conversation—he didn’t want to leave this warm, comfortable bed.

In his view, the bed and bedding possessed a fusion ability stronger than that of devourers, irresistibly making one want to become one with them—especially as the weather got colder.

"Not tired."

"See if you can do it without anti-fatigue medications."

"I didn’t take any. I replenished my energy last night."

Lu Xiang stretched, having already discovered a way to replenish her energy that was far more harmless and effective than anti-fatigue drugs, "Hmm, using the trendy terms of the internet, it should be similar to replenishing mana."

At three-something in the morning, Song Lan was so tired that his eyebrows were furrowed, but her energy had returned to its peak state.

Seeing Song Lan’s dumbfounded expression, she added, "It started after coming back from the Oasis. It might be because I transferred my Spiritual Energy to you. Every time after replenishing mana, I feel refreshed and clear-headed."

Lu Xiang, she...

He’s getting more and more outspoken!

Is replenishing magical energy something you can casually talk about or learn?

He couldn’t help but raise a soul-searching question to the other, "Wake up, you’re the God of Life. Replenishing magical energy is a Succubus’s ability—are you a Succubus?"

Lu Xiang stood by the bed, looking down at him and playfully blinked.

"I could be."

...............

This was a morning of numerous disasters.

Song Lan had to sound the alarm in everyone’s hearts.

Not only because the joint operation between the anti-terrorist squad and the abnormal case investigation bureau led to a large number of casualties due to mechanical failures, but the more serious issue was that Lu Xiang had ultimately crossed that final line and planned to switch her profession to a Succubus.

As she put it, since in the past her nickname in the Church was "Devil", a Succubus and a Devil should be the same type of creature.

She also participated in the incident that destroyed the upper world—if the Church still existed, she definitely would not receive any favorable reviews.

In order to make her profession change more convincing, Lu Xiang even mentioned that she had seen a set of Succubus uniforms and props online before.

Song Lan admitted that he had extended his thoughts a bit along these lines...

Suddenly the bed and the warm blanket were no longer appealing.

For some unknown reason, sleepiness also left him in an instant, making him want to get up immediately, activate his abilities and return to the year 2167, then add an extra purchase of 627 watts to this month’s bill.

The type of purchase was clothing.

But as a self-disciplined employee of the H1 Department, he remembered his mission.

Benjamin Abell wasn’t worth mentioning, but in this era, with their sudden emergence, the founder of The Keeper evolved with the help of RT1 and became a copy Boss called Benjamin (Mechanical Pioneer). And now, he had set his sights on the Qi He trio.

"Honey, you wouldn’t want the Qi He trio to die in this era, would you?"

To get him up early, Succubus Lu Xiang didn’t hesitate to use such outrageous methods.

She found out that there would be a shuttle carrying Psychic Ability Users departing from the shelter. Benjamin also learned this news—for a terrorist who has been involved in terrorist activities for a long time, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

Not only could he lure out the Qi He trio with these two buses, but he could also blow up the bus carrying more than twenty people, making further advances on his path to eradicate Psychic Ability Users.

When they were ready and stepped outside, they realized that it wasn’t just the mechanical equipment brought by the anti-terrorist squad that was affected. The receptionists of the Royal Margaret Hotel had also turned into ferocious killing machines—luckily, they were not equipped with lethal weapons and could only use items like mops as weapons, breaking into guest rooms one by one and beating the guests who had yet to react.

Their room was located on the inside of the corridor, and the beating hadn’t reached them yet.

Seeing the guests crying for their parents and calling for help, Lu Xiang could only sigh.

Many of those who could afford to stay here were prominent figures of the United Government. Although these beatings weren’t fatal, they had put an end to the hotel’s business. After today, the hotel and the company providing AI attendants to the hotel would both face the risk of closure.

"I have already contacted the ’Emperor’; he will take care of the aftermath here."

Lu Xiang made a plan for their next steps, "First, we need to play the role of a bomb defusal team to prevent Benjamin from creating an explosion. RT1’s help will make this particularly tricky, so before we leave, I want to confirm one thing—have you ever learned about bomb defusal?"

Dangerous Prevention is also a compulsory course at Morning Star, and in this course, she learned almost all the common methods of disarming explosives used by the United Government.

But from Lu Xiang’s observations, this Dumb Bird was more in line with the T team’s style.

He often played the role of planting C4 and was even nicknamed "Demolition King" by Guan Lili.

"I know a little."

"A little?"

"First, find the location of the explosive based on the ’beeping’ sound alerts."

Song Lan folded his arms and fell into contemplation, "Once we find the explosive, crouch down and press ’E’ to disarm it—it shouldn’t be too difficult."
