Chapter 909: 8579: Pandora’s Box

Qi He had left quickly.

"What now?"

The group exchanged puzzled looks until Monica broke the silence.

She finally understood the theme of this meeting—the foundation had experienced an accident "externally", leading the council to call on Qi He. Consequently, he had to abandon his current investigation, leave the Fourth District, and decided to entrust his unfinished business to Rob Lucci before leaving.

Monica had no clue about the relationship between the two men, but she deduced they had known each other for a long time and maintained a relationship based on mutual trust.

So in short...

She and Uncle Gustav were just there to make up the numbers at the meeting.

"You can leave this city with me. We’ve set up another base in a different city, and with your abilities, the organization should welcome you."

Upon hearing this, Song Lan curiously asked, "Is this girl also a Psychic?"

"Yes."

Monica nodded, walked to the wall, and placed her palm against it. The area she touched visibly softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. She took a step forward, moving through the now softened wall like walking through a tent, and entered an inner room.

"I first discovered my anomaly when I was 7 years old, after an accident trapped me inside the film crew’s safe. The next day, Uncle Gustav found me."

It was also then that Monica learned about her father’s grievances with Kolo Film Industry.

Gustav added, "Interference-type Spiritual Energy, there’s plenty of potential to explore."

According to the latest assessment, Monica’s ability could easily soften any advanced barrier, helping her infiltrate silently. As long as she coordinated properly, she could complete almost any seemingly impossible covert mission.

Of course, the limitations of her ability were also clear.

Lacking in destructive power, she also had to activate her ability through touch, which meant that in the future, she would have to rely on the strength of her team to compensate for these deficiencies.

"Trust me, you’ll meet quite a few new friends about your age there."

Gustav’s gentle persuasion made Lu Xiang furrow her brow—as his demeanor and tone were uncannily similar to those of human traffickers abducting young girls, causing her "crime detection" radar to react. Had she not known better, she might have pulled Gustav aside for an interrogation out of professional habit.

"What about you, Uncle Gustav? I’ve never even seen your teammates."

"My situation is a bit special."

"Special?"

"The organization has determined my ability is sufficient for any complex situation, so I mostly operate alone, only cooperating with others in rare cases to avoid wasting human resources."

Only those judged by the organization’s Management Association to be highest level Psychics, like him, enjoy such benefits. Including Anjing, who joined the organization later, there are only four Psychics at this level.

If this were before, Gustav might have ruffled Monica’s hair and boastfully told her, "Because uncle’s ability is unbeatable."

Indeed, before meeting Song Lan, he had never regarded any Psychic ability with concern, not even those of the Six Stars rescuer.

He had managed several times to escape unscathed from the encirclement of Six Stars rescuers—not through bribery but by real skill.

But the clear, curious gaze from Song Lan made Gustav unable to voice it.

"I understand now."

Song Lan had an epiphany, "You’re like one of the Four Heavenly Kings within the organization, there are three others as strong as you—I didn’t realize you were this formidable!"

"...You could say that."

Although it came off as flattery, Gustav somehow had the feeling that Song Lan was mocking him. He coughed lightly, saying, "Anyway, taking you out of the Fourth District now shouldn’t be a problem."

"No, Troy is still in danger."

Monica pondered for a moment before shaking her head and declining Gustav’s suggestion.

Like Qi He, she too had unfinished business in the Fourth District.

"Who’s Troy? Sounds like the name of a tough character."

Song Lan crossed his arms and asked casually.

Before Monica could speak, Lu Xiang took on the role of narrator, "A hacker and intelligence liaison for the Civil Assassin Organization, currently held in the bureau for unusual case investigations’ interrogation room. To my knowledge, he had ingested some kind of drug on the day of his capture, which has kept him unconscious since then, leaving even the bureau’s agents clueless."

As she spoke, she was also eyeing Song Lan with a peculiar look.

It was nearly Song Lan’s doing that had led to Troy’s downfall and his current incarceration, with the death of the national-level rescuer "Black Sand" wrongly pinned on Troy, causing him to become a criminal significantly flagged by the Review Meeting.

Unless he remained unconscious, once he woke up, he would face the bureau’s severe interrogation tactics.

However, this Dumb Bird seemed to have already forgotten the unfortunate scapegoat who took the fall for him.

This guy...

Could it be he’s developed forgetfulness at such a young age?

Thinking about it, there were signs when Song Lan was at home; he often forgot in which folder he had saved his downloaded movies.
