Chapter 866: Chapter 839: Worshiper_2

While the other contestants of "Master of Rescuers" were still buzzing around like headless flies, they had already taken a step ahead of everyone, keeping the founder safe.

"I really wish Mentor Lucky were here right now."

Veronica adjusted the filming equipment, and at this moment, everything they were filming would become important material for the show’s crew, and she was sure it would be the most spectacular footage ever in "Master of Rescuers," because their rescue target this time wasn’t an ordinary person, but the founder of Kolo Film Industry, a former member of the United Government, a significant figure who truly had touched the highest power!

"Mentor Lucky?"

Zhuang Chi picked up the conversation where Veronica had left off, asking about this unfamiliar name, but it wasn’t hard to see that Veronica greatly admired the person.

It was clear that this person had never appeared in the previous episodes.

"It’s normal that you don’t know about Mentor Lucky, he is the role model for all intelligence personnel to study."

Veronica learned the truth about The First Region from her parents, and it was from that moment on that she changed her aspirations.

Now her new goal was to become an intelligence officer as excellent as Mr. Rob Lucci, and more importantly, her actions could genuinely assist the United Government, rather than squabbling internally with other intelligence departments and the Counterterrorism Mobile Team.

Military Intelligence Section Seven became her new direction of effort.

Of course, Veronica kept this goal hidden deep in her heart and never mentioned it to her parents.

Given the relationship between the Counter-Intelligence Department and Military Intelligence Section Seven, her "traitorous" actions wouldn’t just possibly result in a beating from her parents, but may also lead to her being grounded at home until she altered her mindset.

Participating in "Master of Rescuers" was the first step in Veronica’s plan, and winning the championship was crucial. She had inquired about the recruitment process of Military Intelligence Section Seven in private, as they were even more elusive than the Counter-Intelligence Department. Only those singled out by Military Intelligence Section Seven would get an opportunity to connect with them.

Firstly, she needed Military Intelligence Section Seven to notice her existence.

However, the recording process of this season far exceeded Veronica’s expectations.

The founder of Kolo Film Industry became their protection target, and she had even seen Rob Lucci himself!

She took everything she was experiencing at the moment as a test from Teacher Lucky, which could also be viewed as a recruitment assessment by Military Intelligence Section Seven.

As long as her performance was outstanding enough, she might even join CP0, a higher-level organization, directly!

"Now that you mention Teacher Lucky, I do remember something."

That day, Valerian also saw the mysterious Rob Lucci. The show’s crew revealed he was an Intelligence Master from the United Government’s highest operational arm, but what struck her was Teacher Lucky’s way of appearing—he arrived at the filming location on a bicycle, which oddly reminded her of Song Lan.

Their office chief also commuted by bicycle.

That bicycle was his prized possession; Song Lan mentioned more than once that he had spent a lot of money to buy the latest model from the bicycle market in The Seventeenth Region.

The bicycle was bulletproof and could even withstand a Gatling gun barrage.

However, they never understood what other use bulletproofing a bicycle had, aside from making it more expensive.

Zhuang Chi always felt that Song Lan had been swindled by a crafty bicycle merchant, but out of respect for the chief’s dignity, he never brought this up for discussion openly.

"He does remind me of the chief."

"The chief?"

Zhuang Chi was puzzled, struggling to reconcile the identity of "Intelligence Master" with that of a chief.

How could their chief, who even approached the leisurely tasks in the department with an attitude of working for three days and fishing for two, possibly engage in intelligence work?

"I asked, and riding a bicycle to the filming location might have been an effect arranged by the show’s crew. Every new mentor has a unique persona. When in The First Region, Teacher Lucky never rode a bicycle!"

Hearing people discuss the role model she aspired to emulate, Veronica immediately stepped forward to clarify, "Also, Teacher Lucky has a talking vulture accompanying him, but he didn’t bring it along this time. Everything Teacher Lucky does has a deeper meaning, remember that afternoon? It looked like he was resting in the coffee shop, but in reality, he had discovered the hidden spot near Kolo Film Industry as soon as he arrived!"

The incident at the coffee shop elevated Veronica’s admiration to a new level.

Seeing Veronica so earnest, Zhuang Chi and Valerian both kept silent by mutual consent, not continuing the topic further.

After all, it was traditional art that their own object of worship had mythologized. Every rescuer under Kolo Film Industry had a large following, and continuing the discussion could very likely escalate into a violent incident. As law enforcers, they heard of similar cases from other departments almost every few days.

Under the district supervisor’s iron-fisted rule, the gang members in The First Region had restrained themselves a lot, and impulsive fans gradually replaced them, becoming the new group that led to bloodshed.

Zhuang Chi had actually considered another possibility.

Everything they were going through could have been arrangements by the television show’s producers.

For the sake of gimmicks and traffic, they would do anything. As an outsider, she could imagine the sensation that this season’s "Master of Rescuers" would bring upon airing.

"Roger, what are you doing?"

Zhuang Chi changed the subject, glancing at Roger, who had been silent ever since they entered the house. She always felt that Roger’s recent state was somewhat off.

After spending some time with him, she realized that although Roger was dubbed the "Negotiating Expert," he was fundamentally an introverted person.

He was the type whose speech was filled with a melancholy aura, but whose occasional quips were laced with black humor.

But ever since they arrived in The Fourth Region, the frequency of Roger’s quips had greatly reduced.

"I’m meditating."

Roger had his eyes closed, shoes off, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with his hands resting on his knees, in quite an authentic posture.

"Is this... a new kind of black humor?"

Zhuang Chi did not know if it was because of facing the camera, but she had to point out that Roger’s sense of humor had plummeted, this kind of humor was ambiguous and would hardly allow future audience who watched this season of "Master of Rescuers" to see him as the comic relief.

But Roger said seriously, "No, I’ve had some insights during recent practice."

His current behavior contained no humorous or funny elements; in fact, he had consistently been under immense pressure.

In order to ensure the safety of his friends during these tumultuous times, Roger had been secluding himself at home and devotedly studying martial arts. After a day and night of intensive training, he had finally attained some understanding.

"I feel as if I’ve touched upon some kind of Natural Power, guiding me."

"...Natural Power?"

"Maybe it’s Spiritual Energy, maybe it’s some other kind of power, but I can make our connection stronger through meditation."

Zhuang Chi and Valerian looked at each other.

Moments later, with an unspoken agreement, they both turned to Veronica, "Cut that last part, don’t send it to the show’s crew, it’s damaging to his and The First Region law enforcers’ image."

After speaking, Zhuang Chi reassuringly patted Roger’s shoulder, "I know this is your first time on television, but there’s no need to put so much pressure on yourself, the role of the clown doesn’t suit you, you have your own style."

Disagreeing with Zhuang Chi’s persuasion, Roger was about to elaborate on his research findings to the group when the tailor shop owner opened the door to the safe house.

His expression was very grim, and the look he gave Veronica also contained a hint of reproach.

"The people from the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau are here, they’ve initiated a protection plan."

He had only learned that the Counter-Intelligence Department had not been involved in this operation after confirming it with Veronica’s parents, and there was no formal work documentation from above. Under such circumstances, pulling people from the Investigation Bureau, if this matter ended up reaching the Review Meeting, the one who would be unfortunate enough to take the blame would be him.

"I’ve contacted your parents, let’s hand over the person to them, the Investigation Bureau will take over from here."
