Chapter 341: Chapter 341: A Day’s Plan Starts with the Morning_1

Lu Xiang had heard of these kinds of chips. In fact, in the year 2166, this was one of the most widely used chip technologies, especially in the core area. She had heard that many companies required their employees to implant such chips when recruiting.

They enabled employees to ensure efficiency when dealing with company secrets during their work and allowed for the subsequent deletion of their related memory through the chip’s built-in function.

Implanting the chip also brought some benefits. Depending on the quality of the chip, the recipients’ reaction time, memory, and computing capabilities could all be enhanced, which would greatly improve their work efficiency.

The managers believed that this was beneficial for both the future of the company and the personal development of the individuals, with all the advantages and no disadvantage.

However, the cost of chip implantation surgery naturally would not be borne by the company. Considering the different family circumstances of the employees, the company thoughtfully provided an internal loan option, allowing for the completion of the chip implant surgery before joining the company through an advance on wages.

This way, one could proudly borrow money to create value for the company!

When Lu Xiang read the company’s recruitment charter in the core area, she felt an instinctive discomfort.

After being rejected by the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau, some companies had also invited her. They highly recognized her excellent academic performance at school and therefore were willing to offer her a substantial loan to help her achieve a full-body prosthetic transformation. The company specifically emphasized that these prosthetics were uniquely designed by military industrial designers according to her personal situation.

The price of a combat prosthetic was far higher than that of chip implantation. Even though the company offered her a decent position, she conservatively estimated that she would have to work for the company for 70 years before she could repay the loan offered to her.

As a frugal and well-behaved child, Lu Xiang did not hesitate to refuse the company’s "generous" offer.

She studied hard and graduated from school with top honors. And yet, before she had even officially started the job, she already owed the company tens of millions.

What was all this about?

However, as far as she knew, her senior, Pero (who appeared in Chapter 98), once accepted the company’s proposal.

Regrettably, after the incident in District 17, he would probably never be able to pay off the debt in his lifetime.

Aside from company employees, this kind of chip was also widely used in various industries.

For example, in the core area, higher end sex workers would mostly install such chips to better protect the privacy of their clients.

In an operation to crack down on the "Grand Bird Merry-Go-Round Bar," Lu Xiang came into contact with this knowledge for the first time in her life.

"You take care of your injuries—I will continue the investigation," Lu Xiang said.

After leaving this message, she instructed the special operations team to protect Ophir and Ivan at the prosthetic hospital, then boarded the hovering car parked on the hospital rooftop and headed straight for her apartment.

She now needed to consult a real Spiritual Master to analyze the methods used by the assailant who attacked Ophir and Ivan.

If she did not figure out the abilities of the adversary, more people were likely to get hurt.

So, ten minutes later, the bare-chested Spiritual Master, still in his sleep, was dragged out of his blanket by a pair of cold hands.

"Hiss—!"

Song Lan gasped in shock, being suddenly dragged out of his blanket while asleep early in the morning was undoubtedly the world’s most brutal punishment.

"Ophir and Ivan have been attacked."

In simple and clear language, Lu Xiang summarized the assault that took place at the Gold Diggers’ Bar during the night. She preliminarily analyzed that the attacker of the two was a Psychic capable of interference. She was hoping to hear some insights from Song Lan.

"But the amount of information is simply too scarce, and not even the Horn Bug reconnaissance team saw the assailant," he reflected.

Song Lan fell into deep thought.

At the time of the attack, the Gold Diggers’ Bar had only two victims who were attacked and a "rat" who had scurried away in fright.

The abilities he casually thought of could all recreate what happened in the Gold Diggers’ Bar—"remote telekinesis, invisibility, time-stop throwing knives could all do this."

The most complex aspect of Psychic assaults was that the investigators had to constantly try and err until the Psychic themselves slipped up.

In other words, before the next attack, it would be difficult for them to obtain more clues.

"No, there might still be some hidden information."

Song Lan fell into thought once again. Besides the form of the attack, there was also the very significant information about the victim, who was easily overlooked. "Ophir said that when she pushed the door open, the knife went straight toward her."

For an ordinary person, it would be understandable to be wounded by a knife in such a situation, but she was the owner of the Gold Diggers’ Bar, and there had been no shortage of attempts on her life. Evading such an attack should’ve been almost an instinctive reaction for Ophir.

"Didn’t the information you collected yesterday say that Ophir had military experience and had been regularly injected with physical enhancement drugs?"

To verify his speculation, Song Lan said, "Director, step outside for a moment, and come in when I call you."

"Hmm."

Although unsure of what Song Lan was plotting, Lu Xiang complied.

About ten seconds later, she heard Song Lan’s call. As she opened the door, a toy Rubik’s cube flew towards her at high speed.

Lu Xiang didn’t dodge or flinch, catching the Rubik’s cube steadily, her expression showing ease.

"Do you think it would be difficult for Ophir to catch or avoid an object like this?"

"...Are you suggesting that she was stabbed by the knife on purpose?"

"Not necessarily."

Song Lan shook his head, "It’s also possible that something interfered with her judgment when the knife flew toward her, causing her to miss the best moment to dodge it."

The flying knife and the bottle that knocked Ivan unconscious were just superficial. The real clue probably lay in the reason Ophir got stabbed.

As he pondered, Song Lan suddenly heard an exclamation from Lu Xiang.

"Be careful!"

Song Lan was slightly taken aback but didn’t dodge.

Because the attacker wasn’t a flying knife or a bottle, but Lu Xiang herself.

She pounced straight at him, pushing Song Lan down on the bed, and herself also fell into his arms, her outstretched arms tightly wrapping around his waist, sticking together as if glued and not willing to let go.

"...Director, is this a new simulated assault?"

They lay on the bed for quite a while before Song Lan spoke.

"It’s not!"

Lu Xiang said, "Suddenly, I can’t control my body!"

Song Lan couldn’t help but lament that Director Lu was becoming more and more daring.

Now, under the broad daylight, at the prime time of the early morning, Director Lu was on top of him, even claiming she couldn’t control her body.

Time ticked away, and Song Lan gradually realized there might be a subtle issue at hand.

Because, unlike usual, Lu Xiang didn’t take any further actions, instead her face turned red as if she was straining with effort.

Feeling Song Lan’s puzzled gaze, her voice became more urgent.

"It’s true! We can’t separate!"
