Extraordinary pedigree

01:45 PM.

Change residence.

In an inconspicuous corner of 52nd Street and 10th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen lies a complex of buildings known only to shapeshifters.

These buildings blend so cleverly into their surroundings that ordinary people would pass by without paying them any attention.

This concealment is carefully engineered through advanced magic and shape-shifting technology, and is one of the favorite safe houses for shape-shifters.

Serra Change drove his car along a familiar route to Change's residence, a secret place known only to a few people.

As both a Thousand Facesman and an Illusionist, Serra possesses the unique ability to change appearance and identity, making him a natural at carrying out his missions.

He is the family's expert in collecting market intelligence. He is good at transforming into various identities and sneaking into different social levels to collect information and provide data support for the family's business decisions.

At the same time, he is also a member of the Esoteric Cult and the Emetics. He has participated in the development of a variety of banned drugs circulating on the market, and has profound pharmacological knowledge and magical application capabilities.

He is also a radical conservative. Faced with the family's decision to cut off the secret medicine industry, he showed extreme opposition and dissatisfaction, believing that this was a departure from family interests and traditions.

Serra is one of the most radical voices opposed to the family's rapid exit strategy. He believes that the family's business interests and traditions should be upheld and protected, even in the face of pressure from the Municipal Administration.

He tried to find support within the family to prevent a complete break with the secret medicine industry.

Today is just like any other day.

Sierra stopped the car at a regular gas station to refuel.

This gas station is located on his usual route and has become an indispensable part of his itinerary. He thinks that his itinerary is foolproof because every time he comes here, he looks different and drives a different car model. , using different genders.

Behind the counter of the gas toll booth, the familiar female waiter is still at her post. Her movements are mechanical and skillful, as if this scene has been repeated countless times in her work.

She charged Sera just as she would any ordinary customer, without any fuss.

This is the last toll booth on the road leading to the boulevard, marking that Serra is about to leave the familiar city scene and enter a more secretive realm.

He lightly applied the brakes, and the vehicle slowly stopped in front of the counter. Then he took out the banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the other party as usual.

This simple action has become a habit for Sera. He doesn't like to pay with [debit card] because it will leave payment information, even if it is an anonymous [debit card].

On this ordinary afternoon, Serra was sitting in his Berlin Austrian car. His slightly tilted body and gently rolled up windows revealed his habitual vigilance.

His eyes were fixed on the toll booth attendant, waiting for the change. Although the waiter's movements were neat and skillful, Serra's vigilance did not completely relax.

However, even so, he could not foresee what was about to happen - this moment would become the starting point of his endless regrets.

Terra's daily life in this world is as calm as running water, and Serra's past business and actions have almost always gone smoothly. This successful experience has made him lose the vigilance of always walking on thin ice to a certain extent.

He underestimated his enemies, especially the extensive and sophisticated intelligence network of the Administration, and also underestimated the decisiveness and decisiveness of their actions. At the same time, he overestimated the unity and strength within his family.

Just as he was distracted waiting for change, a rapid and sudden voice broke the afternoon tranquility.

bump--

Didi didi——

It was the sound of a car crashing, harsh and tense.

At the same time as the collision, Sierra's peripheral vision captured the unusual scene outside the car - two cars seemed to appear out of nowhere and suddenly appeared in his sight. They were like machines performing precise operations, clamping his car between In the middle, a violent collision occurred.

He noticed that there was no driver in the two cars.

Sera Change's heart was beating like a drum, and his brain was rapidly analyzing the situation in front of him.

"A car that appears out of thin air, driverless..."

The details quickly fit together in his mind like a puzzle, and he realized the truth almost immediately.

"Agency!!!"

bump--

The vehicle he was in was directly attacked and then quickly collapsed into a ball.

At the moment when the car is about to explode, Serra activates his extraordinary shapeshifting abilities. His body began to change rapidly, flowing like mercury, squeezing out of the gaps in the car, trying to escape from this dangerous area as quickly as possible.

His deformation ability was brought to its maximum at this moment, trying to turn into a light bird, quickly lift into the air, and leave the impending disaster.

However, at the moment when he almost succeeded in escaping.

boom--

A loud noise like thunder erupted behind him.

Huge air waves swept all around. This force was so powerful that even Sera, who was transforming in the air, could not resist it. His flight path was suddenly overturned, and his body rolled uncontrollably.

The power of this explosion far exceeded Sera's expectations. Obviously this was not an ordinary vehicle explosion. Efficient explosives must have been placed on the vehicle.

All this points to the fact that the Administration not only used the intelligence network to conduct a precise ambush on him, but also intended to remove him in one fell swoop.

Sera, who was struggling in the air, was shocked and frightened. The directness and ruthlessness of this attack exceeded his expectations. They had become accustomed to the powerlessness of the Honkai Authority that had just been established a few months ago.

As the sixth core organization of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Administration is weak and weak. Everyone regards this organization that attracts a large number of disabled secular people as a charity established by the Kingdom of Heaven in an attempt to secularize it, and as a soft persimmon that has not yet developed.

The reason why the Management Bureau can become the three giants of the New World and the New Alliance is entirely because its father is the Kingdom of Heaven, so it treats all the forces of the New World in the Management Bureau in a positive and negative way.

This situation did not improve slightly until the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven announced that he would move into the headquarters of the Authority and become the director of the Authority.

Everyone knows that this newly ascended supernova of the Kingdom of Heaven will definitely carry out drastic reforms in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Authority, and he will definitely try to implement the Kingdom of Heaven's 'human supremacy' in the new world.

So many people in Hell's Kitchen have gradually become honest, but they are just afraid of the holders of great power.

It's just that they are afraid of that great power. No one from other races or even from other worlds will willingly succumb to the devil and the abyss.

How can angels decide what we should do with our lives? Decide how to distribute the benefits that already belong to us?

Are you kidding me? The kingdom of heaven is powerful but not invincible!

This is what most young aliens, including Sera Change, think.

According to the prediction, the man from the Management Bureau must be patient for at least a few months and stabilize his power before taking action against Hell's Kitchen and the Hub District.

And he believed that he could use his own ability and wisdom during this period to maintain the cooperative relationship with the Secret Cult and the Emetics without violating the interests of the family. Then they would join forces to win over the people of Hell's Kitchen. All the hub forces and alien races, followed by the twenty-five alien states, the merchant associations in the border areas, and the golden royal courts of all realms behind the hub chaebol...

Take advantage of the general trend to put pressure on the Authority and make the authorities of the Authority compromise!

His idea is very good, most young people are like this, and this idea is not wishful thinking.

The people of the entire federation were only afraid that the angels of heaven would go crazy collectively, so they allowed the administration and the fourth sword holder of heaven to settle in Edici.

Isolationism is the politically correct behavior of the New World in the Federation, and everyone will try to put pressure on the Authority and the person behind it.

This is a silent game, and the most wrong thing Serra did in this game was that he overestimated himself.

In the eyes of the administration, he was just a "gift list" that the adult had casually crossed off.

At this moment, the hot pain caused by the explosion from behind burned Sera's back like thousands of needles piercing it. His attempt to transform into a flying bird was ruthlessly interrupted at this moment.

Under the pain, he was unable to maintain any form and turned into a pool of amorphous green liquid, dripping on the ground.

This kind of extreme pain and physical loss of control is something Sera has rarely experienced. He has always been able to control the transformation technique with ease, but now he is forced into such an unbearable situation.

Just as he was struggling to regroup his body, Sera caught a glimpse of several tall people wearing masks with weird emoji characters walking slowly towards him.

The expressions on these masks are distorted and ironic, making people shudder at first sight.

Two of them, in particular, wore special finger tigers that shone with light on their hands.

When these people approached, without any hesitation or pause, they used the sealed finger tigers in their hands to hit Sera's liquid form.

bump--

The moment Zhihu touched Sera, a sharp pain that was more intense than the pain caused by the explosion penetrated every inch of his "muscles". The intense pain instantly swept through Sera's entire existence. This pain was far away. More than physical damage, it strikes deep into the soul.

Sera felt his entire hit part spasm and twitch, and what was even more horrifying was that he found that his shape was forcibly fixed amidst the unbearable pain. The effect of the sealing finger tiger is undoubtedly obvious, fixing his originally flowing liquid body into an undeformable "humanoid" green object.

Just as his last consciousness was about to fade away, his eyes were fixed on the leading masked man. The man was tall and tall, with two eye-catching horns on his head. This feature was particularly prominent in Sera's blurred vision, and he realized that this figure was not an ordinary character.

Just as Sera was trying to gather the last of her consciousness to analyze the situation in front of her, the other party clapped her hands lightly, as if this action was some kind of signal.

Immediately, invisible ripples appeared in the air, like a stone thrown into still water, the ripples scattered in all directions.

As the ripples spread, a weapon appeared that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Sera—the Bolter of the Authority.

The tension reached its peak.

Everyone in the surrounding circle held a bolt gun in their hands. This high-tech weapon looked particularly threatening in the dark night.

Their target is the amorphous, jelly-like "humanoid" creature in front of them. He is unable to complete the transformation under the influence of the sealing finger tiger. At this moment, he can only face the upcoming attack in this helpless form. .

"Do it."

Following the order, everyone pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, and the bolter began to show its power.

Bump, bump, bump——

Bump, bump, bump——

The fire bloomed in the air, like fireworks, but it carried the meaning of destruction.

The bolt exploded on the "humanoid" creature, sparks flying and the sound deafening.

The attack lasted for nearly a minute. During the entire process, Sera, who was fixed in form, could not escape and could only wait for the end in pain.

The leader of the horn masked man looked unusually calm in this violent scene. He looked down at his watch and seemed to be counting the time.

Then, he looked up at Sera, who "died unexpectedly", and the expression on his face was difficult to see.

He gently motioned to his surrounding men to take action, and the surrounding operators immediately understood his intention.

They walked towards the ruined vehicle that had been affected by the explosion, with only the flames of the frame remaining. This vehicle had witnessed the brutality of the attack, and now it would become Serra's final resting place.

The operators did not hesitate to carefully place Sera, who was full of bullet marks and no longer showed any signs of life, in the car, as if performing a ridiculous funeral.

In the ruins illuminated by the fire, a violent scene unfolded quietly.

Inside the burning vehicle, the man known as the "accidental man" was placed on the driver's seat. His body was unrecognizable, leaving only his outline swallowed by the flames.

Flames licked at his remains, and everything around him was steeped in the catastrophic tragedy.

The entire car was completely engulfed in flames, becoming the brightest focus in the ruins.

The blazing fire danced, dyeing everything around it with an orange-red glow.

Black smoke rose into the sky, intertwining with the night to form an apocalyptic scene.

The flames licked every corner, destroying every part of the vehicle mercilessly. The glass windows had exploded, and the paint on the car body was burned black, and the original color and shape were unrecognizable.

The firelight reflected on the faces of the surrounding people, casting dancing shadows, adding a sense of eeriness and terror to this sudden disaster.

At this moment, Special Operator Qingniu was standing not far away. He looked at his watch again, and time seemed to become extremely heavy at this moment.

He said in a deep voice: "There are 17 more. This operation must be completed before seven o'clock."

Although his voice was calm, every word was like a heavy hammer.

Qingniu glanced at the surrounding team members and continued: "The Bright Moon Rabbit will be responsible for the aftermath. They will curb the spread of intelligence, and we only need to complete the work before seven o'clock."

The aftermath work that Bright Moon Rabbit and his team are responsible for not only needs to deal with the traces on the scene, but also ensures that the operation does not attract too much attention from the outside world.

This is the first operation of the Authority's task force, so every detail cannot be missed.

Qingniu and his team members, as the direct executors of this operation, must accurately attack the remaining targets within the specified time to ensure the smooth progress of the entire operation.

This is the first gift given by the Authority to a "friend" and requires unusual solemn treatment.
