Lin Xue couldn't understand why I decided to let the blonde foreigner go.
"Didn't you say so …" Looking at the prophet who was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, my expression was rather helpless. "'The bird has left the nest'. This is what you 'saw' with your own eyes. Furthermore, you can confirm that the other party will immediately commit suicide at the last moment. Since the thing is no longer in his hands and he will kill himself the moment he is captured, why do you still want to capture him?"
"Then wouldn't it be worse for you to let him go!? That guy saw the Scorpion! "
"Fine. If you are chased by a robot scorpion that you have never heard of and then escaped from the tiger's mouth uncannily, what can you infer?"
"Of course …"
"In the absence of the prophetic ability."
"Ugh … Other than a mess, I can't deduce anything …"
The appearance of the Scorpion didn't expose any of our trump cards. They won't even be able to associate Vega with any of the forces on Earth, and even if they do, they'll most likely come to the wrong conclusion. Opponents in chaos are most likely to give themselves away. If Vega releases a panicking enemy, we'll be throwing them a pile of meaningless and confusing information. They'll either not analyze it, which won't affect us at all, or they'll analyze tons of erroneous information, such as aliens invading the Black Organization and destroying the world, or Cybertronians coming to help … Look, there are many mysterious organizations in this world, but none of them are exposed to the eyes of ordinary people. The things on the dark side of the world will always be restrained by the dark side, and the Scorpion is no exception. Surreal power being exposed to a behind-the-scenes organization is different from being exposed to ordinary people. In the end, Vega will only cause trouble for those shameful behind-the-scenes forces. Isn't that our goal? "
"Furthermore, if we were to take any action in the future, it would be unavoidable to expose some of the Shiring Apostles to the people on Earth. Since they will surface sooner or later, it would be more appropriate to use this opportunity to cause some confusion."
"So, letting that guy go will bring us more benefits than killing him, understand?"
"Using this method to provide the enemy with shocking information so that they have a higher chance of exposing themselves … Then, we'll see which organization will act strangely …" Lin Xue tapped her chin as she pondered. Then, she suddenly looked up and asked, "Did you really come up with this idea?!"
"… Of … Of course … How could you doubt something so obvious … Ah, haha … Hahaha …"
"Sure enough … You, a guy with a limitless IQ, can't even lie properly …"
"… Alright, it's Sandora's suggestion …"
"Phew … The world has finally returned to normal …"
I thought for a while, then got angry. "Are you saying that if I could come up with such a strategy, it would be as scary as the end of the world? Is this what you mean?! "
Shallow Shallow came over and hugged my arm comfortingly. She gave me a girlish kiss and said softly, "Don't be angry, Ah Jun. You're just not good at scheming. You're talented in other areas too …"
"Really? For example? "
I immediately looked at Shallow Shallow with anticipation.
The smiling girl instantly froze. Not far away, Lin Xue continued her venomous words, "Just take it as if it's true …"
… Alright, in any case, I'm just a useless otaku who just eats and waits for the rest of my life.
Just as a certain someone was about to turn into a fossil from all sorts of blows, there was a knock on the office door.
A seemingly smart and capable but … Alright, I'll omit the rest of the sentence. A faceless man walked in.
With a slightly surprised and curious gaze, he looked at the suspicious characters who were slumped on the sofa as if they were in their own home. The faceless man walked over to Lin Xue's desk and said respectfully, "Captain Lin, I've finished recording the statements of the two captives."
Then, he placed a stack of documents under his arm in front of Lin Xue.
Lin Xue sat upright and nodded slightly. Then, she took the documents with a serious expression.
And so, we all scolded.
This, this, this … This mysterious person with a stern and meticulous face who looked like the head of the education department, how could she have the face of that crazy, violent, venomous, and deceptive wild girl, Lin Xue!
"That's quite a serious and incisive scolding."
Sandora suddenly leaned over and whispered into my ear.
I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "… I sent a group message just now?"
"That's right. So, you better pray for your own good later. Shallow Shallow and I will definitely pray for you in silence …"
It was obvious that Lin Xue had already heard the disastrous message I sent to the group. Even from afar, I could see that this girl had her head lowered. Her eyes, which were hidden under the shadow of her hair, suddenly shot a sharp, cold glare at me. The pervading murderous aura gathered into a beam, and with a "whoosh", it nailed me to the sofa.
However, from the outside, the girl who had already turned to darkness in the depths of her heart didn't seem to have any abnormalities. Lin Xue continued to seriously lower her head, maintaining a perfect image in front of her subordinates. Alright, even if I'm going to be tortured by the Manchurian Manchurian Ten Great Tortures, it's still a pleasant surprise to be able to see a reserved version of Lin Xue …
"That's it?"
After quickly skimming through the document in her hand, Lin Xue raised her head and lightly tapped her index finger on the table. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
At the same time, a cold glare shot towards me again.
To think that a bored fellow like Lin Xue could master such a miraculous technique that allowed one's eyes to emit different gazes from different angles …
"We've already tried deep hypnosis, and the situation of the two captives … In short, their psychological defenses are completely gone. So, this should be all the information we have."
"Yup … Two peripheral members … Peripheral members are already B-rank metahumans? Looks like it's really an impressive organization … Then, let's continue investigating the woman codenamed Medusa that they told us about. Although the chances of us finding anything are not high, we've at least made some decent progress."
"Yes …"
The man replied. Then, he revealed a hesitant expression.
As her subordinate for many years, Lin Xue of course knew what he meant. "Speak."
"It's like this. We've analyzed the situation of the two captives, and we've already confirmed that it wasn't caused by any known metahuman. Moreover, both of their minds were greatly impacted. It seems like they were suppressed by an extremely strong mental force. Conservatively speaking, such a mental force is at least beyond the level of an A + metahuman. It might even be the work of an S-rank metahuman. We've gathered all the records of the current metahuman organizations …"
"There's no need to investigate," Lin Xue suddenly interrupted the man's words that were gradually getting faster. Then, she waved her hand firmly. "They're allies who have direct contact with the highest level of the organization. So, there's no need to investigate."
"Uh … Yes."
After receiving Lin Xue's firm instructions, the faceless man couldn't help but look curiously at the few of us who were lazy and suspicious. He seemed to have understood something.
"Crazy, isn't it?" After her subordinate finally left, Lin Xue, who had been pretending to be a serious leader for a long time, slowly stood up. Then, she walked towards me, the dark aura around her almost tangible. "Violent and venomous, isn't it? And acting mysterious … isn't it? "
"This … This … Calm down, you must calm down! Meaningless battles are the original sins of mankind! We can definitely find a more harmonious solution! "
Even though I gave such a constructive suggestion, in the end, Lin Xue still chose a very unharmonious solution …
"To be honest, you really deserve it …"
After coming out from the metahuman organization's ubiquitous contact point, Shallow Shallow grabbed my hand helplessly. On the other side, Sandora had a silly smile on her face as she helped me tidy up my hair that looked like a bird's nest.
… I admit that I deserved to be beaten up for making the same low-level mistake more than ten times in a row. Moreover, it was because I was the one who took the initiative to talk back.
But this can't cover up the fact that Lin Xue is extremely violent, right? You can't deny that a girl who can send someone flying in the office flying is a downright violent maniac, right?
"Speaking of which, Scorpion's performance today is not bad."
Sandora finally completed her great work and made my already unsightly hair even more unsightly. Then, she slightly tilted her head and nodded at Vega, who was silently following behind us, with an admiring expression.
Vega, who had already changed into a regular body and transformed into a cold beauty, immediately stood at attention and gave a military salute. With a solemn expression, she shouted, "Thank you for your compliment, Sir!"
"Alright, I take back what I said earlier. Return to the City of Shadows to continue your studies …"
"Executing Vega's orders, Sir!"
… I feel that what this stupid Scorpion needs isn't systematic study, but a major overhaul at the factory …
