Although the operation didn't go smoothly at the beginning, the Esper Group was a large organization with a deep foundation. Their intelligence gathering ability was far superior to the Schilling officers, who could only rely on technology to bully the natives but had yet to establish a complete intelligence network. In Lin Xue's hour-long explanation, we roughly understood the various information that the Esper Group had recently gathered.
First, we could confirm that the organization that had recently been active was not from within the country, but was a large-scale international organization.
"They call themselves Olympus — a very arrogant name, probably due to their inflated ego from mastering superpowers. Anyway, there are many such examples … They come from various countries around the world, and the motive for their actions has been ruled out as being related to nationalism or national interests. At present, we suspect it to be a religion, similar to a cult based on superpowers. Most of the senior members of this organization are used to using names from various myths and legends in the world as their code names. For example, Medusa, whom we have found recently, is the main person in charge of the Olympus organization in this city. However, the other party's covert work is very good. So far, we only know that the target has the ability to freeze, and she is a young woman. We know nothing about her nationality, origin, real name, age, appearance, and so on. The recent attacks on superhumans in K City and two nearby small cities can be confirmed to be related to this woman. Secondly, we have made progress in investigating their 'smuggling' activities. So far, we have found three to four organizations that have close ties with Olympus, but there is only one organization that is involved in frequent transactions. However, this organization has only surfaced recently. We have very little information about this organization, and we don't even know their exact name. We can only confirm that they are from Europe, and they are also a large organization controlled by superhumans."
"As for the third piece of information, this may be more important … In fact, this is the situation we first discovered, and it is related to the Espers who were attacked …"
When Lin Xue said this, she suddenly winked at me and my sister to keep us in suspense.
"Guess, what do the Espers who were attacked have in common?"
I pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised my head. "They all have Espers?!"
"… So, you really are here to cause trouble …"
"So, don't keep me guessing. You know that I'm not good at inference … Fine, fine. Forget about the Mortal Kombat. I'll just cooperate with you. What do the wise, omniscient, omnipotent, and wise Great Prophet Lin Xue have in common with the unfortunate people who were attacked?"
"That's more like it." Lin Xue smiled in satisfaction at my wise cooperation. "Then, let me tell you — the Espers who were attacked all had a small part of their body removed!"
"Ugh … This topic is getting a little disgusting …"
"Well, that's it. After checking, we found that all the Adepts who were attacked suffered the same thing. It could be a finger, or a part of their skin, or an eye, or a part of their muscle. Some parts of these Adepts' bodies were missing. What do you think?"
I shrugged. "Pandora 'biochemical laboratory."
"… I almost forgot, you are the evil leader of the alien invaders."
Ding Ling looked at me in shock, as though she was trying to figure out if I was joking or not. I could only smile apologetically and explain, "Don't worry, don't worry. Pandora does have a biochemical laboratory, but it's just a place for the Xi Ling people to research carbon-based organisms. It's just like the bioengineering research institute of humans."
Hearing my words, Ding Ling let out a sigh of relief. I secretly added in my heart, "Although there are a few humans who were used as test subjects …"
That's right, the Shadow City's biochemical laboratory had living people who were used as test subjects. What they were going through was definitely inhumane. Since it was Pandora's handiwork, how could it be humane? But then again, those were people who were rotten to the core but managed to escape the justice of the human world through various means. For example, a group of gangsters who were captured by us. In line with the principle of not wasting raw materials, Pandora would often send people to capture such people from the outside world and use them as experimental subjects … Although we didn't feel very comfortable with such actions, we didn't mind it too much and treated it as if we were helping to clean up the human society.
But if I were to really say it out loud, it would probably be a little horrifying …
"Okay, okay, we are a little off topic," Lin Xue decisively waved her hand and interrupted Ding Ling, who wanted to ask more questions about the biochemical laboratory. "Let's go back to the original topic. According to our analysis, this Olympus organization should be using psychics for experiments. This is the best reason to explain why they want to collect the body parts of psychics. In fact, because of the mysterious nature of psychics, there has always been a lot of research like this. Many psychic organizations are doing this kind of research or even more dangerous experiments. Our psychic group also has a corresponding department, but generally speaking, such things should be quite restrained. If the Olympus really touched the bottom line in this aspect, then … "
Lin Xue stopped talking, and Ding Ling continued, "They can only blame themselves for being unlucky."
"So, this is the information you have collected." I teased the stupid dog on the table, who was still unscrupulously showing goodwill to everyone. It was really hard for me to understand why a rich lady like Ding Ling would raise such a black and swarthy dog as a pet. "But I don't really care about this, because to be honest … I am not an expert in scheming. Can you please cover up your disdainful eyes?"
Lin Xue looked up at the sky, as if she didn't know what I was talking about.
Isn't this way of diverting attention too stupid? Can't you use a slightly more advanced way to deal with my protest? This idiotic way of diverting attention really doesn't work on me!
"Pfft, I thought this method was enough to deal with an idiot like you," Lin Xue suddenly rolled her eyes at me.
Ding Ling said, "You two really have a tacit understanding …"
Lin Xue said, "… I really should take a photo of you and post it on the street!"
What a ferocious lass!
"Alright, it's useless to tell Slow-Witted Lin all this advanced information. Then let's talk about something simple and practical. According to the information we have, take note, this is accurate information. In two days, the woman called Medusa will appear. She will also appear with a high-ranking member of the mysterious organization that they are currently dealing with, as well as a large group of underlings. If you want to take revenge, this is a good opportunity. How about it? Are you tempted? "
"You finally got to the point … Alright, I will go back and tell Shallow Shallow and the others. Then, I will prepare to follow you to bully the weak."
Lin Xue curled her lips, "Such a powerful organization is treated as weak … Only monsters like you …"

At the same time, on the other side of the city.
Moss-covered outer walls, bumpy floor tiles, messy electric wires in the air, and old bungalows with the word "demolition" painted in white paint on the outer walls of these houses all intertwined, forming a stark contrast with the high-rise buildings and heavy traffic just a few hundred meters away. The dark side of the city, the forgotten corner, the fringe, any description could be used. This was the old city, a chaotic area that many people had neglected.
But just like no one would think that there was a contact point of a superpower organization under a KTV, it was impossible for ordinary people to associate this dilapidated urban area that was facing demolition with the hiding place of a special agent of the Tower of Babel.
In a seemingly ordinary old house, there was a special room set up with a full set of medical equipment, and it was clean and tidy like the intensive care unit of a provincial hospital. Vincent, who had escaped death, lay on the hospital bed with lifeless eyes. Next to the hospital bed, sat a gloomy black man with a mocking smile.
"Sonic Vincent, I didn't expect things to turn out this way …" The black man did not care as he ridiculed his disabled colleague, "You said you were attacked by a mechanical scorpion? Could it be an excuse to avoid punishment? To be honest, this reason is really ridiculous. Being crippled by a passing superman is more believable than this reason. "
"Whatever you say …" Vincent replied weakly. The pain on his body and the gloomy memory of being chased by the Armored Scorpion made him extremely dispirited, "If you are lucky enough to face that monster and survive, I will be very happy to return the same words to you … Don't forget, I was attacked after completing the deal with Medusa …"
"Hmph, if that's the case, I will dismantle that scorpion into scrap iron and give it to you as a gift!"
Vincent only closed his eyes and gave a mocking smile to this colleague beside him who was obviously a little overconfident.
Hmph … dismantle into scrap iron? With flesh and blood? Vincent, who knew his comrade's strength better than anyone else, didn't even bother to think about it. That mecha monster … Her origin was probably impossible to find out. But to fight it, perhaps only a top S-rank ability user or one of the Olympian monsters could do it … Monsters, only monsters could deal with monsters …
