A person like Stephen who was focused on academics and did not care about trifles, who would turn a deaf ear to the exhortations of people who did not care about him. Yet, he had a very high position in the society, causing others to be restrained and unable to take disciplinary measures just because of a small mistake. This was the kind of person that the law enforcers did not want to face the most.
After warning him but to no avail, Harvey frowned and turned his head helplessly, no longer saying anything.
The captain's concession made Stephen even more unscrupulous as he continued to say, "Lisheng, Justin only left on the third day after you left Shrimp B1 Island and came back on the fourth day after Christmas. The holiday was only a week in total, so I really have no idea how he managed to contact those foreign agents."
"Professor, God used seven days to create the entire 'world'. Besides, Justin may have been targeted long ago because he participated in the scientific research on Shrimp B1 Island."
"How about you, Mr. Zhang Lisheng? You also participated in the scientific research on Shrimp B1 Island and I heard that you're far more important than Justin.
Have you felt any strange people taking the initiative to contact you during this period of time? "Harvey suddenly turned around and asked.
"Not really, Captain Harvey. Bribing a guy who is worth billions and has many good friends in both Washington and Wall Street would require quite a high price. Nobody would act rashly without considering it carefully." Zhang Lisheng shrugged with a smile.
Harvey was stunned. When he was about to say something, the phone on him suddenly rang. He looked at the screen and picked up the phone. Right away, he heard the concise and powerful voice of his immediate superior, the Naval Investigation Agency's operations staff officer, Dubeck. "Harvey, are you doing an interrogation for a scientist named Zhang Lisheng at the New York Medical Research Association Affiliated Hospital now?"
"Yes, sir, but we haven't started yet."
"Is that so? But our 'head' has already received no less than 20 calls asking about this matter. The latest one is from Senator Mai Jiaxun. You should know that he's directly responsible for judging the budget of our Naval Investigation Agency.
Initially, I didn't want to make this call to you but now, it seems that this Mr. Zhang Lisheng does indeed have a great background. For this reason, ask your questions honestly and don't use any 'little tricks'. Do you understand, Harvey? "
"Yes, sir! I understand!"
"That's good. Harvey, I wish you success in your case." The NBI agent hung up the phone after hearing his superior's blessing. At the same time, the tall black sergeant on duty in front of a single ward saw him walk up to him and immediately saluted. "Good afternoon, sir."
"Good afternoon, Sergeant. Did anything unusual happen?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary, sir."
Harvey nodded and pushed the door open. Without warning, he turned around and said to Zhang Lisheng with a blank expression, "Looks like you're really a big shot, Mr. Zhang Lisheng. The hospital's conditions are limited, so we can only talk in the ward.
If you find any questions offensive, you don't have to answer them, but I have to ask them, and I have to make a written record. I apologize in advance. "
"As long as it's a normal question that doesn't involve my privacy, I think there's nothing I can't answer, Captain Harvey." Zhang Lisheng smiled and followed Harvey's footsteps into the ward.
In the corridor of the ward that was filled with an endless stream of people, two middle-aged white men who were not tall and had an ordinary appearance occupied a short resting wooden chair looked at Zhang Lisheng and the other two disappearing into the wooden door of the ward. The one with slightly bigger eyes widened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice with a blank expression, "How strange!
That short young man is actually from the same Gate of Witchcraft? What's going on? "
"Brother, stop showing off. I'm serious.
It's not that I want to criticize you, but ever since you've made a breakthrough to Rank-4 Wizard and cultivated the Will Observation Technique, you've already met eight people from the same Gate of Witchcraft in a day. Which one of them is real? You even said that you met an old man who sells grass cages in Shanghai before you went abroad is a senior from the Gate of Witchcraft's Gate of Death. Do you think … "
"Will Observation, Will Observation? Isn't that just looking at the 'meaning'? How can it be as accurate as the Gate of Witchcraft's Heaven's Eye? But this time, it's fine. It's obvious that the short one …" The middle-aged white man with slightly bigger eyes was exposed so he became angry out of embarrassment.
As he was speaking, he realized that his voice had unknowingly increased and his Mandarin had attracted the attention of others. Immediately, he pulled his companion up and whispered, "Let's go! Let's go! We've exposed ourselves!"
"Again? Can't you be more annoying? I'm going to be exhausted if you do that again! You're wasting your blood essence like this …"
"Isn't this the saying, 'safety is the parent of safety'? Moreover, it's already past 12 o 'clock now. Let's go out and have a burger before coming back. We can even settle our lunch while we're at it. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" Pulling his companion, the middle-aged white man with big eyes said without stopping.
The two of them walked out of the hospital and wandered around the streets of New York in a daze for a while. Looking at the signboards with English words all around them, the middle-aged white man with slightly smaller eyes said in annoyance, "The dignified New York of the US doesn't even have KFC or McDonald's on the streets! This is just too inconvenient!" "Isn't there a Beef Burger King here? I really don't know what you were doing during the surprise training before going abroad. You don't even know the signboards!" The middle-aged white man with big eyes muttered as he pulled his companion into a fast food restaurant on the street.
It was lunchtime and the fast food restaurant was bustling with noise. The two of them ate two beef burger sets and walked into the bathroom before entering the same toilet stall.
"It's all up to you now, brother! This time, let's make a tall and thin image that's completely different from how we look now!" The middle-aged white man with big eyes said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing his request, his companion muttered, "I really have to give it to you! It's not like we're shooting a movie, so why are you asking for an image?" Then, he began to chant an inexplicable chilling incantation in a 'pst shh …' manner.
As the strange incantation resonated, the faces of the two middle-aged white men suddenly twisted like dough. Their bones made a cracking sound as their bodies gradually elongated. The color of their hair changed from brown to dark black as well. By the time their bodies stabilized, they had actually turned into a tall and short Chinese young man, one with a round face and the other with a square face.
At the same time, two mosquito-like insects the size of an adult's thumbnail flew out of the two men's clothes and circled a few times in the air before flying into the hands of the short, square-faced young Chinese man who was still chanting an incantation.
"Your Shapeshifting Insect is indeed an ancient rare species! 'One male and one female, transforming into thousands of forms' is just too practical!
Brother, to be honest, you're a person with great luck! " The tall, round-faced young Chinese man said enviously as he looked at the flying insect lying quietly on his companion's palm, which had become completely different from the big-eyed, middle-aged Caucasian man just now.
"If it's a pure hermaphrodite Shapeshifting Insect that can transform into tens of thousands of birds and beasts, then it would be considered as a rare species. This kind of trash that has been crossed for god knows how many generations is nothing special.
However, if we're talking about luck, I do have some. Take my wizard gus for example, none of them are ordinary … "The square-faced young man had a triumphant expression on his face, but he pretended to be humble. However, as he spoke, bitterness began to rise in his heart." But so what? Aren't we still used as cannon fodder?
You can tell from the movies that intelligence agents are all like 007. Just the training alone would take several years and they would know everything, like driving a sports car and being equipped with high-tech weapons. How could they be sent to a foreign mission after less than two months of training in a military academy?
Although it's said that I'm recruited, surfaced, and served the country, in fact, I'm just cannon fodder. If I knew this earlier, I might as well stay in the troupe and be a pillar to perform transformation magic! "
"Being able to be the country's cannon fodder is much better than our Gate of Witchcraft's seniors who have been a sewer rat for hundreds of years.
Besides, doesn't our witchcraft have an opportunity to leave now? There are so many strange insects and monsters on Shrimp B1 Island. It's simply a wizard's paradise, not to mention the appearance of the Emperor Molasses that can transform into countless monsters … "
"Forget it! That's the US's territory. If our Gate of Witchcraft really has such a great strength to occupy it, why don't we just directly defeat all of the Gate of Dao's powerhouses?
Let's not talk about it anymore. We still have to carry out the mission. Even if we become cannon fodder, we still have to have the awareness of being cannon fodder, don't we? " The square-faced young man said as he pinched a small worm from his hand. After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, he placed it behind his neck.
The wizard gu was nourished by its owner's blood essence. Under the command of a 'pst shh …' spell, it agilely went deep into the spine and crawled to the back of the tailbone before opening its mouth and biting the square-faced young man's skin.
"Hiss …" After the square-faced young man cried out in pain, the bone gap on his body began to loosen up. Not long after, he grew more than ten centimeters taller. Then, the muscles on his face squirmed as his face became thinner. The color of his skin and hair also became lighter. In less than a minute, he looked like a tall and handsome white young man.
Watching his companion's appearance change, the slightly tall round-faced young man chuckled strangely. "We can't fight openly, but we can still take it secretly, right? As the saying goes, 'Old people are smart, old ghosts are smart'. Since we, the little people, can't do anything, the seniors will naturally have a way.
Most importantly, we, the Gate of Witchcraft, can't be like a plate of loose sand anymore. We must unite together to form a joint force in order to do something big. "
"You make it sound like a pyramid scheme. We'll talk about the future when we come across it. Right now, let's go back to the hospital and continue to monitor." The square-faced young man curled his lips and commanded his wizard gu to transform his talkative companion into a white young man. Then, he strode out of the fast food restaurant.
The two of them returned to the hospital and continued to find a resting wooden chair in the corridor of the ward to sit down and began to monitor secretly. At the same time, in the ward where Effiny was temporarily recuperating, Zhang Lisheng had already been questioned by the NCIS agent.
