Chapter 295: Chapter 295 Collector’s Edition Lin Xue Equally Terrifying Chapter 295: Chapter 295 Collector’s Edition Lin Xue Equally Terrifying “Lin Xue expressed extreme incomprehension about my final decision to let the blonde foreigner go.”

“‘Wasn’t it you who said…’?” Looking at the prophet standing aggressively in front of me, I countered with a helpless expression, “‘The bird has flown the coop,’ which you witnessed with your own eyes, and you could even confirm that he would commit suicide at the last moment. If he didn’t have the item anymore and he was going to kill himself the moment he was captured, why bother capturing him first?”

“Isn’t it worse to just let him go? That guy saw Scorpion!”

“Okay, imagine it was you. Suppose one day you’re being chased by a mecha scorpion you’ve never heard of, and then you miraculously escape from its clutches. What would you deduce?”

“Obviously…”

“Without prediction ability.”

“Uh… except for a mess, I couldn’t deduce anything…”

“Exactly. The appearance of Scorpion didn’t expose any of our plans; they couldn’t even connect Vega with any known power on Earth. Even if they made associations, they’d mostly draw the wrong conclusions. Confused adversaries are the easiest to trip up. By letting a panicked enemy escape, we essentially throw a bunch of meaningless chaotic information their way. They either don’t analyze it–which has no impact on us–or they come up with a ton of erroneous information, like maybe thinking alien invasion, a dark organization aiming to destroy the world, Cybertrons just popping in… You see, from a mysterious mecha scorpion that appeared in a human city, all you get is this kind of messy info. And secondly, many mystic organizations exist in the world, but none are exposed to the common eye; the hidden powers always regulate the backend stuff, just like the mecha scorpion. A supernatural force exposed to a clandestine organization versus ordinary people makes a significant difference, and, in the end, Vega will only stir up those shadowy forces behind the scenes. Isn’t that exactly our goal?”

“Moreover, if we were to take any action in the future, revealing some Xyrin Apostles to Earthlings is almost unavoidable. Since we’re bound to come to light sooner or later, this opportunity to confuse them further seems even more appropriate.”

“So, letting that guy escape could bring us greater benefits than killing him, understand?”

“Using this method to provide the enemy with shocking information, thereby increasing the chances that they’ll slip up… Then we see which organization makes an unusual move…” Lin Xue stroked her chin, deep in thought before suddenly looking up, “Are you sure this idea was your brainchild?!”

“… Well… of course… Why would you doubt it when it’s so obvious… Ah, haha… hahaha…”

“Just as I thought… you, with your no-limit stupidity, can’t even lie properly…”

“… Okay, it was Sandora’s suggestion…”

“Sigh… The world has finally returned to normal…”

I thought about it, then suddenly flew into a rage, “Are you implying that it would be a world-ending disaster if I came up with such a strategy myself? Is that what you mean?!”

Qianqian came over to comfort me, wrapping her arms around mine and giving me a delicate kiss, whispering, “Don’t be angry, Ah Jun. You’re just not very good at this type of strategy, but you have many other areas of brilliance…”

“Really? Like what?”

I immediately looked at Qianqian expectantly.

The smiling girl froze, and Lin Xue, continuing with her acid tongue from a distance said, “Just assume it’s true…”

… Well, I guess I’m just a useless, NEET nerd with rigid thinking and no distinctive skills…

Just as someone was gradually becoming petrified by various blows, the office door was suddenly knocked.

A seemingly savvy but… okay, I’ll skip the rest, Faceless Man entered.

With a slightly surprised and curious gaze after looking at us lying lazily on the sofa in various postures as if we were at home, Faceless Man approached Lin Xue’s desk, respectfully announcing, “Captain Lin, the interrogation reports of the two captives are complete.”

Then, he placed the stack of documents that he was carrying under his arm in front of Lin Xue.

Lin Xue sat upright, nodding her head slightly with a serious expression as she took the documents.

So we all burst out.

This, this, this… this stern and meticulous figure, looking like a head of disciplinary action, how could she ever sport Lin Xue’s wild, crazily sarcastic, and deceptive young miss persona?!

“That’s a seriously sharp roast.”

Sandora suddenly leaned in, whispering in my ear.

I instantly broke out in a cold sweat, “Did I just send out a group message?”

“Exactly, so you better pray for yourself later; Qianqian and I will definitely pray for you silently…”

Lin Xue had obviously heard the disastrous message I had sent out. From afar, I could see her eyes, hidden under the shadow of her hair, suddenly shooting a sharp cold light this way, and the diffused killing intent gathered into a beam, “whoosh,” pinning me to the sofa.

However, on the outside, the girl whose heart had turned severely dark showed no abnormalities; Lin Xue kept her head down seriously, maintaining a perfect image in front of her subordinates–well, even if I was going to face the Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty later, seeing this collector’s edition of Lin Xue was an unexpected gain…

“Is that all?”

After skimming through the documents in her hand, Lin Xue raised her head, her index finger gently tapping the tabletop, showing a slight dissatisfaction in her eyes.

At the same time, from my perspective, a cold light attacked again.

This miraculous skill of emitting entirely different expressions from a pair of eyes from various angles is something only Lin Xue, this boring person, could master…

“We’ve already tried deep hypnosis, and as for the condition of the two captives… in short, their psychological defenses are completely nonexistent, so this should be all the intelligence.”

“Hmm… two peripheral members… Even peripheral members are B-level superpower users, it seems to be a formidable organization… Well, continue investigating this woman codenamed Medusa, although the chances of gaining anything significant are not great, we’ve still made some good progress.”

“Yes…”

The man agreed, then his expression became hesitant.

Years of being a subordinate, Lin Xue of course knew what he meant, “Go ahead.”

“It’s like this, we’ve analyzed the situation of those two captives and confirmed that their injuries weren’t caused by any known superpower. Both individuals have been heavily impacted mentally, seemingly oppressed by an extremely strong spirit field. Conservatively estimated, such a spirit field would surpass A+ level superpower users, possibly even S-level. We’ve compiled all the files of the registered superpower organizations…”

“No need to check further,” Lin Xue suddenly interrupted his gradually accelerating speech and firmly waved her hand, “It’s an ally, direct contact with the organization’s top brass, so no need to investigate.”

“Uh… Yes.”

Faceless Man, having received Lin Xue’s firm directive, couldn’t help but cast a curious look again at us few lazy and suspicious personnel, his expression somewhat enlightened.

“Crazy and frantic, right?” As her subordinate finally left, Lin Xue, who had been playing the role of a serious leader, slowly stood up and walked towards me, her body emanating a dark aura as if it were tangible, “Violently toxic, right? And all that trickery and deceit… right?”

“This… This… Stay calm, one must be calm! Meaningless conflict is humanity’s original sin, the original sin! We can definitely find a more harmonious solution!”

Despite my constructive suggestion, in the end, Lin Xue still chose a very discordant solution…

“To be honest, you really deserved it…”

After coming out from the omnipresent contact point of the superpower team, Qianqian was holding my hand with a helpless expression, while Sandora was on the other side, cheerfully and foolishly helping me tidy up my nest-like hair.

…I admit, being beaten up for the same low-level mistake repeatedly and under my own volition really deserved it to the extreme…

But that doesn’t cover up the fact that Lin Xue is extremely violent, right? You can’t completely deny that a girl who can kick someone into the air in an office is a thorough violent maniac, right?

“Speaking of which, Scorpion did quite well today.”

Sandora finally completed her ‘great work,’ making my already miserable hair even more unbearable, then she slightly turned her head, nodding with appreciation towards Vega, who silently followed behind us.

Now, having changed into her regular body, embodying a cold and beautiful woman, Vega immediately stood at attention, a crisp salute, and shouted in a serious tone, “Thank you for your appreciation, sir!”

“Okay, forget what I said earlier, go back to Shadow City and keep learning…”

“Vega carrying out the order, sir!”

…I think this not-so-bright Scorpion doesn’t need systematic learning, but a major factory overhaul…
