Enforcer's Handbook

As expected of a Slowbird, even Hogg-Foster was inevitably corrupted after joining H1.

Lu Xiang couldn't help but wonder, "Can't you see why the chairman of the review committee arranged Hogg-Foster into the H1 department?"

"Why?"

"The Senate needs an eyeliner, and Hogg Foster is the best candidate. In the last incident, he chose the right team. Now he is the popular person in front of the Senate President. No one is more suitable to be an eyeliner than him. ”

At least, Lu Xiang was sure that this was the chairman's original plan.

"But the topic of health care was brought up by Hogg. He and Ya Kong have the most active discussions every day. With Ya Kong's strong recommendation, the Foster family recently bought four large tea houses."

"Yes, plans always fail to keep up with changes."

Hogg-Foster's change was what she expected. "The chairman of the review, like everyone else, underestimated the horror of the salted fish virus."

When he issued the order to make Song Lanlai the head of the H1 department, it was all doomed.

Fortunately, it's not too late to remedy the situation.

"They discussed it at a meeting today and found something for you to do."

Lu Xiang inevitably acted as the person who conveyed the proposal.

She could only lament that it was indeed the style of the coalition government. Although she was polite to Song Lan on the surface, she still couldn't help but want to control this power in her own hands. After the publicity by Valian and others, she The relationship with Song Lan is no longer a secret. This time, the council decided to play the emotional card.

As for the consequences of annoying Slowpoke...

If these people could really consider the consequences of everything and overcome their desire for control, the struggle between conservatives and reformists would not continue until now.

"Let me explain in advance, this matter is related to the prison."

"It seems that it is time to use the last resort. Lao Lu, you will tell the council later that a rare disease broke out within the H1 department recently. The first symptoms were headache and fever, and then vomiting and diarrhea a day later. , experts from the Prosthetic Hospital have not yet found a specific medicine, and think we should rest at home first... for about a month."

Song Lan admitted that he did not expect to reveal his trump card so quickly. The shamelessness of the council refreshed his understanding once again. He originally thought that the other party would stop for a month or two even for the sake of face.

"The legendary figure who defeated the Oasis Plague contracted a bizarre infectious disease and had to rest for a month..."

Song Lan always felt that Lu Xiang's words sounded a bit sinister. The latter blinked and continued, "Especially since the 'Plague King Corruption' was sent to prison by yourself."

"The Plague King!?"

This title is a bit cool, almost comparable to his "Invincible Universe" series.

"After witnessing the Oasis incident, people obtained a new title for him. At the same time, he was also included in the "Roster of Persons with Destroying Nation-Level Abilities" by the Psychic Research Institute."

"Here's the thing."

Song Lan had an idea and immediately found a suitable excuse, "The Plague King is too powerful, and I inevitably suffered some internal injuries in the battle with him, which only broke out recently."

"...Besides pretending to be sick, don't you have any excuse for taking leave?"

This brought back bad memories for Lu Xiang.

In District 17, Song Lan had the highest number of stomachaches and headaches for a whole month. If someone who didn't know Song Lan saw the department's leave request note, they would probably think that he was so weak that he would get sick just walking on the street. People who are blown away by the wind.

People in the department have long been accustomed to Song Lan's "frail and sickly" character.

"You'd better listen to the content of the errand before making a decision. After all, it's related to a good friend of yours."

"Which one?"

"Angre-Saffron."

"You know, Mr. Angre is a good man, but my relationship with him is not actually familiar... Well, what happened to him?"

In the end, curiosity took over.

The last time they were separated was at Wisteria Academy. At that time, Angre was no longer fighting alone.

He inherited the ability of "Justice" and gained companions to travel with him.

What's that reporter's name?

Oh yes, Anai (see Chapter 552 for details), Song Lan remembered this name.

This is enough to show that he still cares about his good friends.

"He was caught and is now being escorted to District 1."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiang glanced at the time on the computer screen and said, "It's about ten minutes away."

The handover of felons is the responsibility of the counterintelligence department. According to the requests made by the commentators at the meeting, in order to ensure that the escort is flawless, Lu Xiang will personally transfer Angre to the handover point of the prison.

Anglet-Saffron is undoubtedly the current top criminal in the coalition government.

The turmoil he caused in District 17 and Wisteria Academy reminded the Council of the horror of "justice". Only by completely putting him in a prison from which he can never come out can they sleep well at night.

Compared with other felons, "Justice" is undoubtedly the one they fear the most. Every action recorded by "Justice" has been extremely carefully planned in advance, often without anyone noticing. It has revealed a big trap that shocked the world, and its purpose has always been clear. Every action will bring countless losses to large companies and those high-ranking families.

"Justice" was arrested and brought to justice. This was probably one of the few good news they had heard this year.

"Is the source of the information reliable?"

Song Lan really couldn't believe it.

"Of course." Lu Xiang said, "If you provide false information on this kind of issue, you will lose your head."

"We haven't seen him for a few days, why is he acting like this? Who is the person who arrested him?"

"Benjamin Abele."

Song Lan thought about it, but couldn't match this name with anyone he knew. "So, he was defeated by an unknown person?"

"Not really a nobody, the founder of the Soul Watcher (see 732 for details), a man who has lived for who knows how many years."

After the incident in the first district, the wakers left the territory of the coalition government through the seventeenth district. They came and went in a hurry without causing any commotion in the border city. They had no chance to become enemies of each other at that time.

But Lu Xiang didn't expect that this long-established organization would catch a "big fish" after disappearing for such a long time.

"I know them."

Song Lan remembers this organization because of Lu Xiang. She mentioned before that "How to Kill a Psychic Person" was a theoretical work put forward by the spiritual guardians. Although their individual combat capabilities are not very powerful, they will use different methods according to different situations. Ability to formulate different strategies, they will surround their prey like blood-sucking insects until the moment they fall.

But looking back now, this relationship has become a bit subtle.

Comrade Lu Xiang, as one of the senior leaders of the psychic camp in the past, was familiar with the works put forward by psychic hunters.

"Their fighting methods are different from yours, or your way of handling problems is weird, and it once ruined the atmosphere of the six-star rescuers."

At this point, Lu Xiang had to make sharp criticism of Song Lan.

In the past, one of the reasons why the six-star rescuers of the coalition government were invincible was their invincible intelligence warfare. Often before dispatching the six-star rescuers, each department would investigate the target's identity in advance, and then based on the opponent's personal and According to the characteristics of the force, the most suitable candidates will be dispatched in a targeted manner.

Therefore, when six-star rescuers are dispatched, they often face almost crushing battles.

Their outstanding abilities, coupled with the advantage of surprise attacks, allowed them to defeat their opponents effortlessly, thus leaving an impression of being invincible.

But Song Lan's head-to-head confrontation set a wrong example for the six-star rescuers.

In particular, the head-on confrontation of psychic power between Oasis and "Corruption" really does not fit the melody of modern warfare.

And those six-star rescuers who had contact with Song Lan were inevitably tainted with bad habits and ignored the importance of intelligence warfare.

"Emperor", Yue Ji, Ya Kong, and the six-star candidate Wind Chime all eventually became "upright duelists."

“Pallbearers are an old-fashioned bunch in that respect.”

Song Lan was speechless for a moment.

But he believed that there must be a misunderstanding. He had never been an "upright duelist". He just skipped steps in some less important battles.

The specific problem-solving process should be based on careful observation, detailed analysis, and after assessing the situation, the final answer was arrived at - an invincible knife that penetrates the heart and kills the person in seconds.

Therefore, the problems of the "Emperors" are more about themselves.

Poor students should not always copy the answers of top students, otherwise they are likely to be discovered by the teacher. This is the consensus of all junior high school students.

While the two were talking, there was a noise in the quiet corridor outside the door.

The footsteps approaching from far away were too heavy. It sounded like the sound of some kind of mechanical creation stepping on the floor. When the footsteps came to the door, the floor of the office began to shake slightly.

"Dong dong dong——"

Although the mechanical creation on the other side of the door seemed to be very careful, the door of Lu Xiang's office still made a distorted sound.

"Please come in."

Lu Xiang pressed the button on the computer desk, and what appeared outside the door was a huge spider-shaped fighting machine. Military technology people called it a "chariot."

War weapons of this size can be seen everywhere in the first area. After the turmoil ended, the weapons of the patrols were also comprehensively upgraded. Each patrol was equipped with more advanced prosthetics and war machines produced by military technology.

"Mr. Benjamin Abele?"

Lu Xiang glanced at the file on the computer. This was a typical case of serious discrepancies between the real object and the photo. Although Benjamin in the counterintelligence department file had also undergone a comprehensive transformation into a prosthetic body, at least he still maintained his human form. He once spent some time in Military Technology and participated in the "Outside War" with the company's frontline combat troops.

Some people analyze that it was the experience of the "Outside War" that made him embark on the path of a psychic hunter. After all, they encountered many weird psychics on the battlefield.

"I've heard about you, Minister Lu."

The war weapon made an intermittent mechanical synthesized sound, "For safety reasons, before we reach a cooperation intention, I am sorry that I cannot show my true face to others. I hope you can understand."

Lu Xiang was noncommittal.

This is the most common hacking method, and a similar method will be used in some conversations where it is inconvenient for both parties to show up.

The staff of the counter-intelligence department showed a very high level of professionalism. They did not take a second look at the mechanical creation that suddenly appeared in the office. Everyone was focused on the work in front of them, not at all disturbed by the heavy footsteps and shaking wheels. floor and distracted.

"The instruction given to me by the council is to complete the handover of the felon Angre Saffron, and the bounty finance department is ready."

"You can put aside the bounty for now. Minister Lu, you should know that a felon like Angre Saffron cannot be bought with money. We have paid a lot of money to capture him alive. cost."

"Tell me what you want."

"Minister Lu seems to be a cheerful person."

The harsh mechanical synthesized sound made this conversation sound extremely weird, and even the flattery seemed particularly harsh, "I heard that after the counter-intelligence department takes over a prisoner of this level, you will personally send him to that prison, where But it’s a mysterious place, I’ve heard of its existence more than once, but no one has ever known its specific location.”

"You want to go in and have a look?"

Lu Xiang did not expect Benjamin to make such a request.

If he had heard rumors about the prison, he would definitely know that it was a one-way ticket. When people think of that prison, the first thing they think of is that it is only accessible and cannot be exited.

Whether you have committed an unforgivable crime and are imprisoned, or you have accidentally entered a forbidden area, you will never be able to return to the "real world".

It was an isolated prison, and there were a lot of rumors, but no one wanted to be sent to that kind of place.

"This is a request from my employer. He promised me some...remuneration that I can't refuse. As for whether I can get out of there, I don't have to worry about it, Minister Lu. Of course, I don't mean to make things difficult. The deal The content is very simple - a ticket to prison, and Angre-Saffron is yours."

"Your conditions need to be discussed by the council, and I can't make a decision."

"It doesn't matter, then I'll wait for the good news from Minister Lu."

…………………………

The negotiation was shorter than Lu Xiang imagined. Although the mechanical synthesized sound of "Chariot" sounded quite harsh, the atmosphere was still harmonious.

After both parties reached a consensus, the mechanical creature turned around and staggered out of her office.

She carefully considered Benjamin's request.

He ignored the huge bounty and came all the way to District One just for a "one-way ticket" to prison.

She noticed Song Lan's solemn eyes, "What do you want to say?"

"I have been thinking about a question just now."

Song Lan nodded, with some longing in his eyes, "Is that robot spider controlled by a handle, or is it a ritual connection similar to VR equipment?"

It would be nice if it was a handle.

Who can refuse to use a controller to operate a majestic super robot?

"I'm asking what you think of Benjamin Abele!"

Lu Xiang increased his tone with some annoyance. There are spider robots like this all over the streets. Why hasn't this Slowbird been interested in robots before?

"Benjamin Abel..."

Song Lan thoughtfully said, "I suspect his true identity is a man with a very black beard."

Small theater its three hundred and fifteen:

Tuesday morning on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year

It’s the most stressful day of the year for Yelu again. Recently, children at Yelu have fallen into panic, and even wake up from nightmares from time to time.

"No, I don't want to go back!"

Ye Lu shivered and woke up from her dream again. Even the little potato basking in the sun on the crib in the living room sent her a concerned look.

She glanced drowsily at the calendar under her pillow.

There are still three days until Archbishop Hriphis's visit.

Although she has become accustomed to the life of being fostered in Song Lan's family, nominally, she was brought to the big city by the Lunar Eclipse Sect to study and communicate. Therefore, the Archbishop conducts random checks on the results of her study and communication every year, and the serious atmosphere is Just like a thesis defense.

The content of her thesis defense last year was "Sixteen Flavors of Potato Chips", which was severely criticized by the archbishop. The archbishop warned her that if she lived like a rice worm, he would take her back to the Lunar Eclipse Church to re-study education. The other sisters of the Angel of Death came to take her place as exchange students.

"Little potato!"

Ye Lu's eyes were wide-eyed. Even though she knew very well that Little Potato couldn't understand the too complicated content, she still couldn't help but speak.

There are still three days left before the thesis defense, but she has not yet decided on the topic for this year's thesis defense!

Little Yangyao just looked at her with her clear and ignorant eyes. Her eyes healed Ye Lu's depressed mood, and suddenly a light came to her.

Got it!

"Little Yangtao, you are such a genius!"

It has been decided that the title of this year's defense will be "Eggs and the Old Man in the Breeding House"!
