Chapter 910: 8579: Pandora’s Box_2
Such a forgetful Dumb Bird, she had completely forgotten that she had previously subtly mentioned not to download movies with scantily clad women on the covers, to avoid leading him astray. Naturally, these movies were filtered out by her built-in "firewall" the moment they were downloaded.
Having been reminded by Lu Xiang, Song Lan finally realized and couldn’t help but blame himself.
It was too careless!
How could he forget Troy, his friend who had ended up in the investigation bureau for him!
"That was the medication we prepared for him, which could sustain its effects for several days. This was to prevent him from suffering torture if he was accidentally captured and also to buy us enough time to rescue him. He must still be holding on, waiting for us to rescue him,"
Monica said.
The medication had been provided by Qi He, who had also disclosed the internal mechanisms of the unusual case investigations to them, willing to wait a few days in cases where the subjects being interrogated might regain consciousness.
"Monica, I understand how you feel, but this matter..."
Gustav couldn’t help but feel dismayed, thinking they were still ultimately too young.
Mr. Lucky was the chief executor of Military Intelligence Section Seven, representing the interests of the United Government.
Lady Lu Xiang was the head of the Law Enforcers with a deep hatred for evil.
Both were public officials of the United Government, yet Monica was openly discussing her jailbreak plan in front of them, this...
How many gifts would he need to give in private to "smooth things over"?
Gustav felt pained for his wallet; he had already spent a significant amount of money bribing Song Lan on this trip to the fourth district, all of which were his hard-earned savings from previous dangerous missions!
When children cause trouble outside, their parents’ wallets bleed.
Huh?
Why was he having these thoughts?
"Frankly, your friend is safer staying inside the investigation bureau. The bureau might interrogate him, but for such a serious crime, without a clear order from the Review Meeting, they dare not dispose of him privately. Vadim is different, though. To find you, he is now capable of anything. Last night, he had already infiltrated the home of the head of security at Kolo Film Industry."
Military technology had given Vadim a time limit. From his desperate actions, the punishment for failure would be quite severe for him.
Lady Lu Xiang emphasized the consequences of this action to Monica, "Even if you could indeed rescue your friend from the interrogation room of the investigation bureau, you would draw the attention of two groups. From what I know about the investigation bureau, they would immediately lock down the airport and other facilities for leaving the fourth district."
Of course, all of this was ultimately blamed on Song Lan.
Who let Troy bear such serious accusations of killing a company executive and a national-level rescuer right now?
Anyone associated with either of the two would suffice to die several times over.
"Uncle Gustav, is there a way you can take one more person?"
"That might be difficult, the people from the investigation bureau are like clingy plasters."
Gustav hesitated, "Even if you manage to escape for a while, he will eventually be found by the investigation bureau... I’m sorry, according to the organization’s rules, we cannot take non-psychic ability users back to our base."
Some quite cruel insider information, he had never mentioned it to Monica.
Qi He and the organization were only interested in her, as for the Civil Assassin Organization and those who seemed to be in similar situations, striving for shared goals, they were just to make her journey seem more real and more colorful.
Although revenge against the company was also their individual desires, Qi He and the organization did not care about their fates.
Expendables.
This is how the company viewed people, and Qi He as a representative of the Ragus Foundation naturally couldn’t entirely avoid being assimilated by the company.
Qi He had given Monica some pills that could put a person to sleep for several days, but at the same time, without Monica’s knowledge, he had given them some extra things.
If the effects of the medication wore off and the rescue team had not yet arrived, they could choose to end their lives without feeling any pain.
Gustav believed that with their resolve to face death, they would certainly choose the path of sacrifice steadfastly.
"The one handling this case is my mentor, I can try to negotiate with her,"
The words of Lu Xiang brought a glimmer of hope back to Monica.
She was different from Dumb Bird, who was suspected of having amnesia; Troy had been part of her plan from the beginning.
She always made sure to have a backup plan, a habit she had always maintained.
Even if Monica hadn’t mentioned Troy and had agreed to Gustav’s invitation to leave Section Four, they could still fall back on Troy to replace Monica’s role.
Lu Xiang felt that he had really worried too much for Song Lan; if it weren’t for considering the impact of this season’s "Master of Rescuers," Vadim would have been sent on his way earlier.
"But from now on, you must do things our way. If you stick to our agreement, I can guarantee that your friend will definitely be able to leave Section Four safely."
...
"Old Lu, you’re starting to sound more and more like a villainous boss," Song Lan remarked as they walked back to the Eden Hotel. Lu Xiang’s tone just now had quite a bit of a Bug Swarm queen vibe.
Monica naturally agreed to her proposal.
"Compliments are useless. Your friend got into trouble because of you. What do you think?"
"...Overtime."
Song Lan said painfully.
Vadim’s time was running out, and tonight’s Bureau of Unusual Case Investigations was expected to be very lively, while Monica’s words had opened up a side mission for him.
After rescuing Troy, she hoped to use him to contact other people in the organization and spread the news of the organization’s disbandment to everyone.
The founder of Kolo Film Industry had already paid the price for his past crimes, plunging Kolo Film Industry into turmoil; they had fulfilled the oath they took at the beginning of the organization’s establishment.
"Hmm, that’s more like it."
Lu Xiang nodded in satisfaction, his demeanor somewhat relaxed.
She had always been skeptical about the legitimacy of this Civil Assassin Organization. This illicit organization certainly needed to be disbanded because aside from Monica, it seemed that quite a few opportunists had infiltrated the group.
Attacking the actress Mikaela and assassinating the third-rate director to silence him—the series of actions taken after the exposure, including attacking an enthusiastic tourist represented by Song Lan, neither resisted corporations nor related to acts of justice. They were purely excuses to vent their violence and desire to dominate.
Troy, as the organization’s liaison, couldn’t possibly be unaware of the members’ actions.
In fact, they had set up a website, created a complete member ranking system, and even posted their murder videos on the website as trophies.
Lu Xiang had browsed the site; there were very few company people involved, mostly ordinary crew members from the production teams.
These people couldn’t afford security teams and had almost no resistance against assassins.
Their reason for coming to Dream Chasing City was just a hope that they too might become well-known stars one day.
Today, after meeting Monica, she had a sudden realization.
The current Monica simply could not control such a large organization, which had deteriorated over the years.
When they discovered that "murder videos" could be traded for profit, this shady industry chain began to take shape.
Indeed, Monica should shut down this Pandora’s Box which she had personally opened before she left.
"Old Lu, what are you thinking about?"
Song Lan, seeing Lu Xiang without a word, asked.
"Those people have turned into exactly what they used to detest."
"Let’s think about something happy."
"Happy things?"
Lu Xiang turned her face towards him, somewhat admiring Song Lan’s mindset. It seemed that no matter what happened, nothing could affect him, "Like what?"
"Like, uh..."
Lu Xiang’s counter-question left Song Lan at a loss for words. Shortly after, he suddenly had a burst of inspiration, "Like the fact that tonight we’re going to meet our fellow townsman, Mr. Vadim!"
