Meng Chao thought about it for a long time.
"Sure."
He paused for a moment before he said, "If I discover any new clues and really find the person who killed Jin Yongqiang, can I ask for your help?"
"Of course."
Shen Yupeng smiled. "Regardless of what clues or suspicious people you discover, contact me at any time. As long as I don't have a case on hand, I will definitely rush over as soon as possible, even though there aren't many times when I don't have a case on hand."
Meng Chao smiled as well. "I look forward to the chance to work together with your elite squad again, Big Brother Shen."
"As long as you want it, you'll have the chance."
Shen Yupeng looked at Meng Chao with an admiring gaze. "Due to the unique nature of the secret police, we often recruit temporary members to our squads based on specific cases. One, it's to make up for our lack of skills in certain specialized fields. The other is, we show up in public, and many people know our identities. It's easy for the suspects to become suspicious, and they will do something extreme.
"If we find unfamiliar faces, it'll be easier for us to do things.
"So, if you're a brave, smart, ambitious young man like Meng Chao who has nothing to do with the secret police is willing to support our work, we'll definitely welcome you."
"It's a deal!"
Meng Chao extended his hand to Shen Yupeng.
He had told Shen Yupeng about the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise because he hoped to use Shen Yupeng to form a connection with the secret police.
As a law enforcement organization that tracked down and punished out-of-control superhumans, the adjudicator court would play an important role in Dragon City in the future.
If he could use his memories from his previous life to work with the adjudicator court's authority, he would be able to interfere with the future even more.
When he left the congee shop, it was almost seven.
Pedestrians gradually appeared on the streets. They wore 3D mobile gear and skipped to work.
Meng Chao sat in Lu Siya's car and released a long sigh.
He first told her about Shen Yupeng's suspicions toward Shen Yulong's death.
"If he wants to investigate, let him. In any case, Shen Yulong wasn't killed by you, me, or Qin Hu. I even took the initiative to ask Lin Chuan to show mercy, but in the end, the White Spirit was the one who killed him.
"I've even given a part of the mining rights to the Red Radiance Jade mine to Universe Corporation. As for the mine explorers from both sides who died in the accident, I've also received more compensation than what they should have received in the contract. One of these days, I will find the person hiding behind the White Spirit and take revenge for them!"
Then, Meng Chao mentioned the results of the case of murderous pets in Blessed Paradise.
"That's what I thought."
"This matter has blown up. Regardless of whether it's the biochemical modification faction or the runic symbol machines faction, they have their own faction leaders. They might even be Deity Realm superhumans. No one wants to cause internal strife in Dragon City because of a small case. So, this is the best outcome.
"What's wrong? You look a little depressed. Could it be that you were hoping for something else?"
"That's not it."
Meng Chao shook his head. "Logically speaking, I can understand the difficulties of the secret police, but emotionally speaking … I think that the secret police are different from what I imagined them to be. They're not a ruthless, sharp, and sharp law enforcement organization. They're more like … paperhangers?"
Lu Siya giggled.
"Paperhanger? That's an appropriate name. In truth, the secret police aren't the only ones who are paperhangers. The Supernatural Tower is also a paperhanger. In fact, even the Survival Committee is a paperhanger. Everyone is just barely maintaining the illusion of unity and stability. Do you know why this is the case? "
Lu Siya said faintly. "Because Dragon City isn't a real country at all.
"No, no, no. I'm not talking about the size of the city. Based on the size of the city, even though it's small, Dragon City has a population of tens of millions. It's already far larger than many of the small countries on Earth. Besides, the concept of a city-state has existed since ancient times, so this isn't a problem.
"The problem is, the transmigration itself, the zombie virus, and the rampage of out-of-control superhumans have completely destroyed the old concept of a country and society. The people who struggle in the bloody and dark era are forced to attach themselves to various organizations, and these organizations continue growing and devouring each other. Gradually, they turn into corporations, and they upgrade to mega corporations.
"The mega corporations in the Other World are completely different from the mega corporations on Earth.
"To fight against zombies, monsters, and out-of-control superhumans, they have great fighting strength and control the people's basic necessities. In fact, they have the right to set up countless rules to replace laws. To a certain extent, they have obtained the people's gratitude and loyalty.
"To a certain extent, these mega corporations are miniature quasi-countries.
"The Survival Committee is just an alliance of these quasi-countries. As of today, most of the power in Dragon City is still in the hands of the mega corporations.
"On the other hand, the appearance of superhumans has caused the ability of a country to control individuals to fall to rock bottom.
"Of course, a country can't rely on violence to maintain itself.
"But if a country can't execute the highest level of violence on the individuals under its jurisdiction, then this country won't have any prestige to speak of.
"Unfortunately, Dragon City is in such an awkward situation today.
"Shen Yupeng is right. The Supernatural Tower and adjudicator court have limited resources, and their opponents are much stronger and crazier than those on Earth.
"On Earth, even if the most crazed criminal tied bombs all over his body and took a car full of hostages, the most evil he could do was drag dozens of people down with him.
"To deal with such criminals, we only needed to mobilize a few squads of armed police officers and a few armored vehicles. We only needed to spend a limited amount of money.
"But in the Other World and Dragon City, due to the existence of super unstable factors like superhumans, a Heaven Realm superhuman who goes out of control can destroy a building at any moment and make thousands of people die with him.
"He might also be skilled in hiding and escape from the secret police's encirclement without anyone noticing.
"He can even change his appearance and body shape and swagger past the CCTVs to continue committing crimes.
"Because of that, the cost of capturing a superhuman who goes out of control is one hundred times higher than the cost of capturing the same type of criminal on Earth. It's enough to destroy any financial budget.
"The secret police naturally want to solve this problem, and the Supernatural Tower also wants to gather all their power together so that they can control all superhumans strictly.
"But the adjudicator court is just an arbitration organization for superhumans. They have to rely on the funds, technology, and resources provided by the mega corporations. They are part of the problem, so how can they rely on themselves to solve the problem?
"Perhaps this is the reason why the research department was born. Only we can gather all the power in Dragon City together!"
Lu Siya's eyes burned intensely.
She seemed to be implying something.
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's head. He remembered that the abnormal beast research department in his previous life did not just investigate abnormal beasts.
Based on what he remembered, they had also been dragged into an even more bizarre and unfathomable vortex.
Unfortunately, he was just a normal citizen in his previous life. He did not know much about the fights between the mega corporations, the Supernatural Tower, and the Survival Committee.
He only knew that the conflicts within Dragon City had a severe negative effect on their goal of colonizing the Other World.
Meng Chao could only say, "I didn't expect that you would understand the disadvantages of the mega corporations so well, but aren't you …"
"I'm not a member of Sky Pillar Corporation, right?"
Lu Siya smiled faintly and said, "Let's put it this way. If Sky Pillar Corporation completely belongs to me and I'm satisfied with it, I will definitely stand on Sky Pillar Corporation's side and fight to the death for it.
"Unfortunately, Sky Pillar Corporation isn't mine. Besides, the Other World is huge. I don't know what sort of exciting world is hidden behind the gradually dispersing fog. If I'm trapped in Sky Pillar Corporation's territory and have to fight against my uncles and brothers until my head bleeds, isn't that … boring?"
Meng Chao stared at her for a long time. "Just what do you want to do?"
"I don't know."
Lu Siya shrugged. "An unknown journey is the most interesting, don't you think so?"
…
Meng Chao returned to Agricultural University before ten in the morning.
The university had set up ten huge screens in the field to livestream the briefing held by the adjudicator court regarding the case of murderous pets in Blessed Paradise.
When the students heard that the truth of the case had come to light and that the mastermind from Heavenly Works Machines had been found, the field instantly burst into cheers.
"I knew it! There's no way Spirit Creation Creatures' modification technology would go wrong! Even if the pets really went out of control, they wouldn't be so terrible as to kill their masters! "
"Biochemical modification technology is the future of Dragon City! We didn't choose the wrong path! This is great!"
"Those people from Heavenly Works Machines are too shameless. They can't win against us, so they used such despicable methods. They're even worse than monsters!"
"Those people from the University of Technology's machine course were still arrogant yesterday. They said that there must have been a problem when they were modifying the pets. Let's see what they have to say now!"
The students were delighted.
The hot-blooded freshmen were the most excited.
Yesterday, they had gone on an "expedition" to the University of Technology. First, they debated, then they sparred against each other. They vented out the passion in their hearts.
The only problem was that Meng Chao never showed up.
"Meng Chao, you're too mean!"
Xie Feng wrapped his arm around Meng Chao's neck and grumbled. "We agreed that we would cheer for the monster controller course students in the afternoon, but forget about the afternoon, you even disappeared for the entire night. Tell me, what did you do with that beautiful customer? Did you do … something really exciting?"
The students stared at him with sharp gazes.
Meng Chao remembered what he did yesterday.
Autopsy.
He went deep into the trash and fought against the super Giant Sandworm.
Autopsy.
He went deep into Golden Tooth Lair to search for Small Insect. He chased it through the alleys and alleys. Oh, he finally went back to the women's toilet.
When he thought of this, he rubbed his temples gently and sighed in a slightly tired manner. "Yes, it was really exciting. You definitely won't be able to imagine it," he said faintly.
