Chapter 866: First Operation (2)

“In other aspects, I’ll come when I’m needed. For the rest of the time, I hope that you won’t try to disturb me. In addition, I’m very interested in transcendent events.”

Upon hearing this, Xiong Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Okay, but every Sunday, you have to come here to clock in. Otherwise, I won’t be able to answer to the higher-ups.”

“Okay.”

“In that case, let’s sign the contract.”

Shen Ping immediately wrote his name where the contract needed to be signed.

After signing the contract, Xiong Yu introduced the other members of the team to Shen Ping. The entire underground base belonged to the team in charge of transcendent incidents. Their team was mainly to track down those suspicious people and then organize the members with mutant energy. They would monitor their every move and report to the other teams.

There are 15 members in the group. These were only the core members, and there were also the peripherals. After all, tracking down the Mutants was a very dangerous thing. If he was not careful, he would be assimilated by them. So they need a lot of peripheral members.

After getting to know each other, Xiong Yu spoke seriously about the transcendent event. “You’re a member of the forum, so you should know a little. Transcendent events not only appear in our country, but also in various countries around the world. Our Qinghe City happens every four years, and the time in other cities varies. The shortest time is every two years.

“The source of each incident, the people you photograph, are not, strictly speaking, human anymore.”

Shen Ping listened attentively.

“After a long period of tracking, we called these people evil cultists. There were various religions in ancient times, and every Church would have believers.

These people were believers of a certain religion, but unlike ordinary religions, this religion was very evil. Every believer of this religion would be infected with an energy carrier similar to a virus.

“This type of carrier is very terrifying. Once you come into contact with it, you will quickly be infected and assimilated, becoming an evil cultist. So you have to remember not to come into contact with such evil cultists in the future, Xiong Yu said with a solemn expression.

Shen Ping nodded, but he thought to himself, “As expected, the officials have defined it as an evil cultist. Perhaps they don’t know that the virus carrier is about mental pollution. Perhaps they do, but they just used a more acceptable term to explain it.”

“Captain, why did these evil cultists create extraordinary events? And what are the patterns on the corpses?”

“We haven’t found out the exact reason,” Xiong Yu replied. “This kind of religion can be traced back a thousand years. It’s deeply rooted. Until now, no country has been able to find its source. One of the goals we know is to purify

it.”

“Purify?”

“Yes, an energy carrier of a purified virus. The more people it comes into contact with, the more this energy virus will lose its ability to contaminate and become a pure energy carrier. After absorbing it, it can improve the strengthening of human genes and extend its lifespan.

“The special pattern of the corpse, according to our speculation, should be the totem of this religion. They hold a kind of sacrificial ritual.

Shen Ping suddenly asked, “Since purification can obtain a pure energy carrier, has anyone from the government absorbed this energy?

“Yes.” Xiong Yu looked at Shen Ping deeply. “Things that can extend one’s lifespan are extremely precious. Even with current technology, it’s very difficult for people to extend their lifespan. One of the purposes of our Transcendent Event Group is to obtain this pure energy carrier. This is also the reason why your salary is high.”

Shen Ping’s heart trembled. He did not expect the captain to say this out loud.

He seemed to have guessed the doubts in Shen Ping’s heart.

Xiong Yu smiled and said, “If it were other members who had just entered, I would definitely not reveal it. You’re different. Your hypnosis is too strong. Even if I didn’t say it, you will know in the future. In fact, the main reason for obtaining these pure energy carriers is for research. Perhaps some officials want to use them to extend their lifespan, but most of them are to study biological genes and benefit all mankind.”

Shen Ping smiled. This was indeed a very noble use. As for what the truth was, he did not know.

He spent two hours in the underground base. After roughly understanding some information about the Divine Disciple, he left and went home.

The moon hung high outside the window. Shen Ping’s thoughts were running. The ability of that mutated energy pollution was indeed very strong, but he could easily purify it with his true spirit and absorb it into his own energy. From the captain, he learned that other than extraordinary events every four years, there was another way to obtain mutated energy in Qinghe City—sacrifice by using some special metals.

After piecing it together according to the pattern of the corpse in the transcendent event and pouring his own blood, he could obtain mutated energy from the metal. This method was very dangerous. Basically, the people who sacrificed would become evil cultists and become puppets of this virus­energy carrier.

Under normal circumstances, these puppets were like ordinary people, but once they received some kind of order, they would gather in advance.

Apart from that, the metal used for the sacrifice was very rare and could not be bought. Moreover, it was a prohibited item in the country today. As long as it exceeded one gram of metal, they would be sentenced.

“It seems that the waters are deep behind the Transcendent incident. It’s very likely that even the country is involved. Those evil cultists who planned the Transcendent incident are only at the bottom. There must be more than one member of the tight organization above!

“Stay with the authorities for a while, and wait until you have a thorough understanding before acting.”

He closed his eyes to rest.

Several days later, Captain Xiong Yu personally visited Shen Ping’s parents and told them why he wanted to recruit Shen Ping. After showing the relevant documents, his parents believed him. After that, they were excited.

“The child has made more money than your father. Most importantly, this is an official business unit. It’s a firm job!”

“Let’s go. I’m happy today. I’ll take you to eat a big meal!

As a mother, she could finally heave a sigh of relief. She did not have to worry about her son’s future, so the pressure on her naturally decreased. His father did not say anything, but he could not stop smiling.

Recently, he had been so worried that his hair kept falling off. Now that he was finally relaxed, he did not have to work hard for a title anymore. He could lie flat and continue to be a fisherman.

Although he had become a member of the Transcendent Events Special Operations Team, Shen Ping’s life did not change much. He still went to school every day and was disturbed by Bai Xuan’er from time to time. He went home at night and lived a very peaceful life.

Actually, that’s how most ordinary people live.

In the second week after joining the group, Shen Ping came to the underground base to clock in.

“There’s an operation. Shen Ping, you’ll follow this time. The others will cooperate.”

“Understood.”

The originally lazy members suddenly became serious. As for the three members who were about to set off with him, their expressions became very solemn.

He came to the hall. They had changed into special uniforms. These uniforms were made of nanomaterials and had a certain isolation effect on the viral energy carrier, but they were still dangerous.

They, including the captain and Shen Ping, a total of five members, left the base.

“Shen Ping, you’re good at hypnosis and are observant. If you find anything, you must inform everyone in time. Don’t act on your own without my orders.”

“Got it!”

“The suspect we’re tracking this time is very vigilant, and it’s very likely that he’s the leader of a group of evil cultists. This kind of leader is very dangerous. Not only is his physical fitness high, but his vigilance is also very high. Currently, more than ten members of the peripheral organization are missing.’ Xiong Yu’s expression was solemn. “All of you, pay full attention.

“Roger, Captain!”

After driving along a main road for more than an hour, the car arrived at a factory in the suburbs. Near the factory was a low mountain range. The road was rugged. If one hid inside, it would be very difficult to discover.

After getting out of the car, they met up with the peripheral members of the factory..
