For Xianghe City's National Committee of Order, the current priority after everyone's meeting yesterday was to determine whether the Demon Eyes member who had fused with the man-eating bugs was still in Xianghe City.
Xia Pingan did not expect to make an important discovery today.
Since the host of the brain-eating bugs was in Xianghe City, it meant that the main body of the brain-eating bugs, Alpine Green, was also hiding in Xianghe City.
It was no wonder that Mo Yanshao was a little excited.
"I found the target by chance when I was on the bus. The target is still moving. I'm following the target, and the other party hasn't noticed that I'm following him yet! “
"There might be more than one living corpse controlled by the man-eating bugs, and the Demon Eyes member might be nearby. It's very dangerous. Don't act alone. Remember, don't act alone!" Mo Yanshao reminded him solemnly on the other end of the phone. "Don't come into contact with the target first. Just monitor. We'll locate your phone and rush over immediately …"
Of course, Xia Pingan would not fight the Demon Eyes member alone. Wouldn't he be a fool to fight one-on-one when he could whistle for help?
"Okay, I understand. The target is still moving. It's about a thousand meters away from my phone. I'll continue to monitor! “
After ending the call, Xia Pingan put away his phone and walked quickly on the road.
A few minutes later, under the gaze of Xia Pingan's remote vision, he saw the old man walk to a small courtyard on the roadside of the town more than two hundred meters away from the bus stop.
There were a few trees planted in the courtyard, and there was a small two-story building with a single door.
Most of the residents in this town lived in small independent buildings with courtyards.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xia Pingan did not use his remote vision to invade the house to investigate. Instead, he monitored the courtyard from outside.
More than ten minutes later, Xia Pingan came to a water bar in the town more than two hundred meters away from the small building. He stared at the small building from a distance, ordered a glass of juice, and then took a few photos to Mo Yanshao and sent them.
After a few minutes, the lights in the bar suddenly turned off and then turned on again. The light bulb flickered a few times …
"Is there something wrong with the town's transformer again?" The owner of the bar who was wiping the bar looked up at the flashing light bulb and muttered.
"Boss, does this happen often?" Xia Pingan asked.
"Not often. It's just that in the past six months, the town's circuit has been unstable occasionally. I heard that the transformer is a little old …" the boss replied.
Xia Pingan nodded.
Twenty minutes later, the door of the bar was pushed open. Li Yunzhou walked in wearing a hat and a blue maintenance uniform of an electricity company. After buying a bottle of drink, he threw a glance at Xia Pingan and raised his eyebrows at Xia Pingan.
After Li Yunzhou walked out of the bar, Xia Pingan followed him out.
After turning into the shade of a tree by the roadside, Xia Pingan saw two yellow repair vehicles from the electricity company parked by the roadside. An escalator extended from one of the repair vehicles. On the escalator, two workers were inspecting the wires and transformers on two electric poles.
There was another repair vehicle parked by the side. Li Yunzhou got on the vehicle from the back door.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xia Pingan also got on the vehicle.
The vehicle looked like an electricity company's repair vehicle from the outside, but there was something else inside.
Mo Yanshao, Tu Polu, and Li Yunzhou, who were wearing the electricity company's uniform, were in the vehicle.
The car was filled with high-tech and complex electronic and monitoring equipment. The small courtyard as the target had been completely monitored.
"What's the situation now? Who's the living corpse controlled by the brain-eating insect?" Mo Yanshao asked directly when he saw Xia Pingan enter the vehicle.
"I found that the living corpse controlled by the brain-eating insect is an old man. After the old man entered the courtyard, he didn't come out. I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I didn't use my ability to investigate the situation inside!" Xia Pingan replied.
"You handled it correctly!" Young Master Moyan praised. "That member of the Demon Eyes has fused with a brain-eating insect, so his senses are very sharp. Moreover, we're not sure what kind of ability he had before. If that member of the Demon Eyes also happens to have the remote viewing ability and is hiding in that room, you might be discovered if you use your remote viewing ability to observe at close range!"
Xia Pingan nodded. He thought so too.
Tu Polu stretched out his hand and patted Xia Pingan's shoulder. "Not bad. You've made a contribution. Yesterday, we were still scratching our heads in the meeting. We didn't know if the Demon Eyes member was still hiding in Xianghe City. I didn't expect you to find a target today. This means that the Demon Eyes member is still in Xianghe City. Even if he's not in that courtyard, we can still follow the clues and find the Demon Eyes member!"
Li Yunzhou, on the other hand, looked at Xia Pingan with a strange expression. He rubbed his chin with his hand and said, "I say, your luck is too good. You can even meet your target on the bus. Why don't I have such good luck?"
"It's not just one bus. I've taken countless buses today and wandered around the city all day!"
"Boy, I didn't expect you to not rest on the weekend and still look for the Demon Eyes member alone. Good job …" Tu Polu looked at Xia Pingan with approval.
"Ahem, I'm not looking for the Demon Eyes member. I want to find a suitable rental house. I had a falling out with the landlord of the house I rented earlier, so I was probably kicked out by the landlord and have to find a place to move …" Xia Pingan spread his hands and told the truth. "It was a complete accident that I met the living corpse!"
Tu Polu and Li Yunzhou were immediately speechless. The two of them did not know much about Xia Pingan's family situation. Only Mo Yanshao had been to Xia Pingan's place and knew a little about it.
"Boss, Xia Pingan is too pitiful. He actually wants to rent a house. You should apply for some extra work for him and buy a big villa in Xianghe City in minutes. How much money can it cost? What kind of house can he rent? If those guys from the provincial department knew that a summoner from the National Committee of Order in Xianghe City is so poor that he needs to rent a house, they would laugh their heads off. This will affect our image!" Li Yunzhou said to Mo Yanshao.
Tu Polu also looked at Xia Pingan sympathetically and patted Xia Pingan's shoulder with his big hand again. "I didn't expect to know a summoner as poor as you. I can brag to others in the future!"
Xia Pingan was also speechless. He was just renting a house. It was very normal. Was there a need to be so poor and exaggerated? Why did they make it sound like he was worse off than a beggar?
Mo Yanshao tapped on the keyboard in front of him a few times and an old man's photo and household registration information appeared on the car's monitor. "Is this the old man you've been keeping an eye on?"
Xia Pingan glanced at the photo and household registration information and nodded. "Yes, it's him!"
On the household registration information, the old man's name was Sun Defeng. He was an old man who lived alone and did not have any children by his side.
The Committee of Order was like a terrifying national machine. When it was seriously operating, its efficiency was terrifying.
In just a few minutes, the electricity and water consumption data of elder Sun Defeng's place for the past year, shopping records, and roadside surveillance data were all retrieved and analyzed.
From the results of the analysis, elder Sun Defeng was the only one living in that house. There was no one else.
Of course, in the current situation, because of the lag and fragmentation of the data analysis, it was impossible to tell from the data whether there was anyone else hiding in elder Sun Defeng's house.
So soon, two different sets of action plans were drawn up.
Operation Plan No. 1. After a while, the employees of the electric power company would enter the houses of the residents in the town to check the circuits. At that time, Mo Yanshao, Tu Polu, and Li Yunzhou would pretend to be employees of the electric power company and enter elder Sun Defeng's house to check and confirm.
After the three of them entered, if they found that the Demon Eyes member was hiding in elder Sun Defeng's house, then the three of them would immediately take action to kill the Demon Eyes member in elder Sun Defeng's house without causing too much of an impact.
Xia Pingan, Cao Xinghua, An Qing, and Fang Lingshan would hide around the house and carry out the first circle of control to prevent the Demon Eyes member from escaping.
If the three of them found that the Demon Eyes member was not in elder Sun Defeng's house after entering, then the three of them would withdraw and carry out Operation Plan No. 2.
Operation Plan No. 2 was that the Special Operations Department would monitor elder Sun Defeng on the spot and wait for him to come into contact with the Demon Eyes member.
Man-eating insects were terrifying, but they had a characteristic. There had to be close contact between the main body and the host body every nine days at most. Otherwise, the host body might lose control.
Therefore, as long as the Special Operations Department kept an eye on elder Sun Defeng, they would definitely be able to track down the Demon Eyes member who was still hiding in Xianghe City from the people he came into contact with and eliminate this huge hidden danger to social order.
…
After dark, the repairmen of the electric power company began to enter the houses of the residents of the town to check the circuits.
Xia Pingan, who was wearing a headset, also left the electric power repair vehicle and came to the shade of a tree by the roadside 80 meters away from elder Sun Defeng's house to hide. Cao Xinghua, An Qing, and the others also entered their respective positions.
Thousands of meters in the sky, a drone hovered in the sky, completely locking onto the streets and houses of the town below.
Further away were the two commando teams and snipers who had already entered their battle positions.
Two falcons hovered in the sky further away, ready to give chase.
The inescapable net had been set up, and the operation began. Mo Yanshao, Tu Polu, and Li Yunzhou wore hats and the uniform of the electric power company as they got out of the vehicle with toolboxes.
The three of them began to inspect the houses of elder Sun Defeng's two neighbors. After a while, the three of them arrived outside elder Sun Defeng's yard and rang the doorbell.
After waiting for a while, the elder came out of the house and opened the door. The three of them explained their intentions and then entered elder Sun Defeng's house together.
The expected chaos and conflict did not happen. The three of them came out in less than five minutes after entering the house.
Then, Xia Pingan heard Mo Yanshao's voice in his headset. "All teams, pay attention. The primary target is not inside. Switch to Plan No. 2 and monitor the place closely!"
…
Night fell completely. The electric power company's vehicles and personnel withdrew, and the town's electric circuit and power supply were restored to stability.
The lights of the town and the city complemented each other.
Meanwhile, a small building for rent about a hundred meters away from elder Sun Defeng's house also welcomed a new tenant.
The hidden surveillance equipment outside elder Sun Defeng's house had been set up.
A simple bronze lamp quietly lit up in the room …
The Special Operations Division began to work …
…
Xia Pingan, who had just eaten a bowl of instant food and was staring at the surveillance footage in the room, received a call from Xia Ning. Xia Ning said over the phone that she had found a few alternative places and wanted to discuss it with Xia Pingan.
"Uh, the unit suddenly had to work overtime, so I won't be coming back tonight. I walked around the city today and found a few alternative places. After this busy period, let's go look at the houses again. We can consider renting one that's closer to your school. It'll be convenient for you to go home too!" Xia Pingan said to Xia Ning apologetically over the phone.
Because Xia Pingan's Requiem Banner could completely restrain the host body of the Brain-Eating Insect, Xia Pingan's weekend off was over. He had no choice but to work overtime in advance and join the surveillance team to prepare for any unexpected situations.
Xia Pingan hung up the phone and realized that the others in the room were looking at him sympathetically.
"Director, let's get Xia Pingan a job that can earn some extra money. A job that requires the use of the Requiem Banner can be done once. It's not expensive to buy a villa …" Even An Qing said to Mo Yanshao.
Was it very profitable for summoners to take jobs? Buying villas at the drop of a hat.
Xia Pingan had some doubts in his heart.
"Xia Pingan just became a summoner. There's still a long way to go. There's no such thing as a poor summoner. Don't worry, he's no exception …"
Mo Yanshao said lightly. Xia Pingan's poverty was not an act. It was real. Last time, he only gave Xia Pingan tens of thousands of yuan and Xia Pingan was tricked into chasing after the Devil Rats …
However, last time, Xia Pingan was tricked by that bastard Yan Duo into carrying out a mission in the Death Corner Arena. The extra reward for that mission should be quite good. He would know in a few days when he received his salary.
