Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Top Secret Files

A few days later, Canghai City, outskirts.

About twenty Tier Two Insect Race Demon-tailed Snakes were entrenched here.

This had always been a major concern for Canghai City.

The usually ignored Demon-tailed Snake cleanup mission suddenly became popular after the arrival of the mission bully squad.

"With so many City Guardian Squads from Canghai City today, we must be able to take on this Demon-tailed Snake cleanup mission!"

"That's right!"

"Let's show that mission bully squad from Deep Blue City our strength."

"Good!"

"We can't let them be so arrogant anymore, can we? It's just twenty Tier Two Insect Race snakes, our squad can handle one each!"

"No problem!"

"Leave it to me!"

A motivated group of thirty to fifty people marched toward the Demon-tailed Snakes' stronghold.

But as soon as they arrived, they saw a litter of Demon-tailed Snakes' corpses, with valuable parts like skins and gallbladders already removed.

Not a single live Demon-tailed Snake was left for them.

As the organizer of this group action, the captain of the first squad turned green.

He couldn't help but curse at the sky,

"Mission bullies, you've gone too far!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to demand an explanation today!"

Someone stopped him at this moment.

"Captain! After submitting this mission, it seems they've already left Canghai City."

"Someone saw their conspicuous black pickup truck just leaving the city!"

Hearing this news, smiles immediately returned to their faces.

"Five days, a full five days!"

"Great! They're finally gone!"

"We'll let other cities experience it now!"

...

A few days later, City Guardian Organization, Headquarters.

The data department responsible for monitoring the completion of points missions had just placed the latest data on the table.

Su Mingxuan, the third in command of the City Guardian Organization, picked up the data and glanced through it, suddenly exclaiming "Huh?"

"Why have the mission completion rates in Deep Blue City, Canghai City, and a few surrounding cities suddenly increased so much?"

"The average increase is over 50%. Did any special event occur?"

"Commander Su, it's like this, a mission bully squad emerged from Deep Blue City, specializing in snatching points missions from other cities, causing this chain reaction," a subordinate truthfully reported.

"Mission bully?"

Su Mingxuan repeated the name with curiosity, "Get me the information on this squad's members to take a look."

As the third in command of the City Guardian Organization, his authority was only below the first and second heads,

At his request, four personnel information files were retrieved and brought over.

"Deep Blue City 0527 Squad, former captain, Yi Fan."

"SS Level Spirit Contract Master, previously served in the First War Zone, Combat Spirit Contract Master, awarded the Purple Star Medal. Later demoted himself to the City Guardian Organization due to the fall of his Contracted Spirit."

"Talent: Immortal. No form of damage can kill him, theoretically possessing the possibility of near-immortality."

"File Level: Top Secret!"

Su Mingxuan's hand trembled slightly, was the first file he decided to look at actually a top-secret file?

He quickly opened the next file.

"Deep Blue City 0527 Squad, member, Red Iris."

"A Level Contracted Spirit, was once with Yi Fan under the First War Zone, later demoted to the City Guardian Organization together."

"Talent: Lie. Can change appearance, body size, and even name. Note: The 'change' initiated by this talent is a real change, possessing the power to make lies come true! Extremely dangerous!"

"File Level: Top Secret!"

Another top-secret file! Su Mingxuan's brow unconsciously furrowed.

With his strength, he could even feel an invisible power of rules trying to invade this "absolutely true" file in his hand.

Attempting to alter the contents within.

The names Red Iris and Bai Shuang flickered back and forth like an old black-and-white TV.

"Is this the power of lies? Even the SSS Level Talent [Absolute Truth], from such a distance, can still be affected."

"It's just an A Level Talent, this rating is too low. Those rating the talents are really useless."

Su Mingxuan put down that file and picked up another one.

"Third time's the charm, surely I won't get another top-secret level file, right?"

He muttered to himself, even laughing.

Could it be such a coincidence, three top-secret files in a trivial squad?

That would be too ridiculous.

Thinking so, Su Mingxuan opened the third file in his hand.

"Deep Blue City 0527 Squad, current captain, Han Zhan. Just graduated from Qingteng Academy."

Upon seeing this, Su Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's more like it, this is what a normal file should start like."

He continued to read.

"Specific Information: None."

"None? How can it be none? These files were all written by holders of the [Absolute Truth] talent, it's impossible to be none!"

None just means one thing, it doesn't want to reveal it to you!

Just as Su Mingxuan thought this, the phone beside him rang.

His gaze sharpened.

This was a direct line, known to only a handful of people, each call is extremely urgent.

With a serious expression, he answered the phone, "Hello? This is Su Mingxuan."

"Commander Su, this is Lin Jingxuan."

The head of the Second War Zone, Lin Jingxuan?!

For this big shot to seek him, what could it be?

Could the United War Department have some new action requiring the City Guardian Organization's assistance?

While Su Mingxuan was lost in thought, Lin Jingxuan on the other end continued speaking.

"Commander Su, the file in your hand, and any related information, do not continue to inquire. It's beyond your authority."

Lin Jingxuan's words struck like a bolt of lightning, almost leaving Su Mingxuan stunned.

The file in his hand, he had no authority to view it?!

His level of authority was already high, able to peruse top-secret files.

But the file for this young Han Zhan was above top-secret!

Almost forgot, the author with the [Absolute Truth] talent was under Lin Jingxuan.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder." Hanging up the phone, Su Mingxuan put down the last file with a complex expression.

This file was indeed not top-secret.

It was a few levels above top-secret!

"Utterly absurd, indeed, one shouldn't be too curious."

...

As for Han Zhan, he was unaware of what just transpired among the high-ranking officials of the City Guardian Organization.

After ten busy days, they had finally completed all the Insect Race cleanup missions in the surrounding cities.

The name "mission bully" of Deep Blue City 0527 Squad spread far and wide.

200 points for 4, 100 points for 6, 50 points for 8, a total of 1800 points collected!

"Now, our 0527 Squad shouldn't be in last place, right?"

Bai Shuang smiled as she opened the electronic screen,

But as soon as she reached the end, her smile froze on her face.

0527 Squad, 2150 points.

Rank, last place!

"How is this possible?!"
