Division 13 Headquarters, Intelligence Department.
Director Gu Hui and the Head of Intelligence were looking at their phones with serious expressions. Feng Jun was standing at the side, feeling uneasy.
"Can you track his location?"
The technician was sweating profusely. "We can't crack his anti-tracking program. He's a top hacker."
Veins popped out on Gu Hui's forehead. When did that guy become a hacker? Why didn't I know?
After thinking for a while, Gu Hui picked up the phone and said, "Han Xiao, you left Division 13 without permission. You've violated the confidentiality rules. It's going to be very bad for you!"
Han Xiao laughed and saw through Gu Hui's intentions. "Are you going to ask me when I'm going back?"
"You know what you're doing!" Gu Hui shouted.
"I'm not going back."
"You want to defect?" Gu Hui's eyes narrowed, and his tone became very serious.
Han Xiao said slowly, "You've misunderstood. I still want to continue working with you, but the method needs to be changed."
Gu Hui frowned. "What do you mean?"
They pricked up their ears and waited for him to continue.
With a click, Han Xiao hung up the phone.
The Head of Intelligence was expressionless, but his trembling eyes showed that he was not calm.
Gu Hui took a deep breath and repeated in his heart, I'm the director, I can't flip the table. I'm the director, I can't flip the table …
Ding! His phone rang, indicating that he had received a message.
Gu Hui narrowed his eyes and opened the message. Numerous messages flooded his screen like a waterfall. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the contents.
It was all information on the Germinal Organization's bases in Southern Continent. It was very detailed!
"This is the method of cooperation he was talking about?" Gu Hui was shocked, and the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
This was the information they had been looking for, and Han Xiao had actually handed it over so quickly.
He was too sincere!
Gu Hui fell into deep thought. Han Xiao's display of sincerity was beyond his expectations. The problem now was how to deal with Han Xiao's identity. If they were to say that he had defected, then his current actions would benefit Stardragon. If they were to say that he was returning, then Han Xiao had personally said that he would not return.
After thinking for a while, Gu Hui made a decision.
"Stop the search for Han Xiao. Keep his identity as an official agent. Move his information to the file of outgoing agents."
Feng Jun shuddered. The director's decision meant that Division 13 had reconciled with Han Xiao, and that Han Xiao was still considered one of their own.
The records of excursion agents belonged to Division 13, but they were allowed to move about freely. Only some of the meritorious and retired agents were given such treatment.
Although he had not spent much time with Han Xiao, their relationship was quite good. Feng Jun was somewhat happy, at least they would not become enemies.
Gu Hui was in a good mood after getting the information he needed. He gave a few words of encouragement to the head of the Intelligence Department. Just as he was about to leave, the bespectacled secretary of the Intelligence Department stumbled into the room. She was out of breath and said, "Director, Hesla's Intelligence Department, Red Maple Kaloma, Ordina, Theseus, and Raylan have all sent us a communication request!"
Gu Hui's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
Only when there was an emergency would the Intelligence Department of each country contact another country. It had been many years since the last meeting between the Intelligence Departments of the Six Nations. What was going on?
Gu Hui walked into the meeting room with a heavy heart. There were five screens on the big screen, showing five people with different appearances. They were the heads of the Intelligence Departments of the other five nations, and their positions in their respective countries were similar to Gu Hui's.
"What happened?" Gu Hui asked in a low voice.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that the heads of the other five nations' Intelligence Departments were looking at him strangely, which made his hair stand on end.
Ordina was the first to speak. "Ahem, Director of Division 13, do you … know the Germinal Organization's most wanted criminal, Zero?"
Gu Hui's eyes widened. He had a bad premonition.
"It's like this. All five of us have received information from Zero. It included the distribution of the Germinal Organization's secret bases in the Southern, Western, and Northern Continents. We have always been very cautious about information from unknown sources, but he added a sentence at the end of the report: 'Stardragon's Division 13 can testify for my information.' So, we came to ask you."
Motherf * cker! You actually sent the information to all the countries, and even wanted us to be the witness. Han Xiao, you're still so f * cking bad!
Gu Hui's vision darkened. He felt like there were ten thousand Han Xiao's smirks running through his mind.
…
The Ghost Gauss Sniper Rifle (Incomplete), the Electromagnetic Hover-boots, the Face Simulator, and the Magnetically Controlled Retractable Armor that had evolved to its complete form. This set of equipment supported his stealth sniping and kiting style combat mode, which was a very popular battle tactic in the early stages of the Mechanic class. Furthermore, the equipment that he had created had attributes that were beyond his current level, so one could only imagine how powerful it was.
Coupled with the bonuses from his equipment, his current combat power was around 1,100, which was above average in the Blue Star. Furthermore, Han Xiao had the Molding Ability [Elementary Strengthened Life], which made him very tanky.
[Flaming Will] was upgraded to LV5, and the lowest multiplier was increased to 138%. Although he was basically unlucky, with the double critical hit of sneak attacks and vital points, even the lowest multiplier was greatly increased.
As long as he did not meet a monster like Bennett, Han Xiao could deal with most situations, and the assassination missions from the Blood Pact Society were not a problem.
Time passed as Han Xiao continued to complete one mission after another. He gained a huge amount of EXP and wealth, and he became stronger step by step. Mr. Black's name was feared by more and more underground forces. His ranking on the assassin list also reached the tenth place, and he finally received a Legendary Point.
At the same time, the underground world gave Han Xiao a new nickname:
Black Phantom!
There were only wrong codenames, but not wrong nicknames.
I'll pay you one bullet and take your life away. "
"That sounds pretty cool …"
In fact, when he first found out that he had been given this nickname, Han Xiao's feelings were very complicated.
Black Phantom … Why not call me White Yaksha?
Han Xiao was the most active member in the underground world during this period. The Blood Pact Society's relationship with him had reached a high level, and they treated him as their new signboard. According to the statistics department of the Blood Pact Society, since the rise of Black Phantom, their business finally stopped declining and even rose by six percent, pulling in the commissions of other assassins. The volume of business was far ahead.
However, two months later, the whole world's attention was attracted by another big event!
As the last civilized country of the Blue Star, the Six Nations' every move involved the nerves of everyone in the world. Whether it was the underground world, the wanderers, the warlords, or the various organizations, they were always paying attention to the Six Nations' actions, especially their military actions.
After the war of the old era, the Blue Star now coexisted with order and chaos. Wars were happening all the time, and the Six Nations did not have to pretend to be peaceful anymore.
One day, two months later, the relatively stable world suddenly changed. The Six Nations sent out a large number of troops at the same time, sweeping through the three continents and the secret bases of the Germinal Organization. Their determination to fight shook the whole world.
War had come without warning!
The world was in turmoil, and everyone was afraid that the nightmare of the old era would descend on this planet again. The wounds caused by the war had not healed, and no one wanted to be swallowed by the disaster again.
Even within the Six Nations, there were a large number of anti-war protesters, but the Six Nations ignored them. In their eyes, the Germinal Organization was the root of the disaster, a terrorist organization that wanted to overthrow the regime at all times. The conflict could be traced back to the war of the old era, when the Germinal Organization gathered the people of the fallen countries. Until now, the two sides had been in a stalemate. How could they miss such a good opportunity?
Those who were more knowledgeable were not shocked by the tough attitude of the Six Nations, but they were surprised by the source of the Six Nations' intelligence. Why did the Six Nations act at the same time and accurately attack the hidden bases of the Germinal Organization?
There was only one possibility — someone had provided a large amount of intelligence!
It could be said that the mysterious person who provided the intelligence was the mastermind behind the war!
After many inquiries, the Six Nations revealed the name of this person.
Zero!
The traitor of the Germinal Organization!
The underground world was shocked.
Among the people of the fallen countries recruited by the Germinal Organization, there were soldiers who held on to their ideals, as well as scum who committed crimes. There had been traitors before, but they were like street rats, hiding in fear of being hunted down. Only Zero's fierce counterattack against the Germinal Organization had caused such a huge commotion.
Why did Zero have so much intelligence? Was he a high-ranking member of the Germinal Organization before he defected?
Countless people were puzzled.
Everything was a mystery, and there was no way to know. However, it did not prevent all the forces from adding the name 'Zero' to their list of threats.
…
"War is coming …"
Bennett looked at the gray sky worriedly, and his mood was as gloomy as the sky.
Wang Yuan whispered beside him, "Looks like the shelter plan needs to be brought forward."
