Chapter 271 Garbled Text
Jiang Xingni's idea succeeded.
On the other side, the intern who received Jiang Xingni's reply handed the communicator to Shan Yu in a daze.
Yamasumi stared at the reply from Longinus and exchanged a glance with Yamayu and his group on the other side.
Who exactly was Longinus?
They originally thought Longinus was only stationed in Turin and the surrounding area, but who could have imagined that even in the capital, an area controlled by the three academies, VOID had infiltrated.
Yamasumi contacted Longinus only to see if he could get any relevant information from him.
Or perhaps they could trade something with Longinus to form an alliance, which might allow Longinus to investigate the lower city and obtain information they were unaware of.
But who could have imagined that upon learning this news, Longinus immediately agreed to take the joint exam at one of the three academies?
They didn't seem to pay much attention to these children.
Just like in the world of ordinary people, adults who have long since entered society do not care about students who are still in school.
Even though Xiao Jiming and his group successfully completed so many missions, and even though Zhai Lequ and his group received a lot of courses and training, these people who had actually fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood still lacked a true sense of killing intent.
What they truly valued was the real meaning behind Longinus's nonchalant tone.
Does she have any subordinates in the three academies?
When she said she was going to take a look, did she really mean that she was going into the instance to find out what had actually happened?
Keep in mind, that was a dungeon set up by the leaders selected from the three academies.
If the instance is inexplicably invaded, it will be a disgrace to these three academies.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen.
"But logically speaking, VOID shouldn't have been able to infiltrate it."
Shan Tang's lips curled into a lazy, almost sarcastic smile.
"There aren't that many logical things. Regardless of how Longinus did it, how she entered the instance, or how terrifying her strength is—at least we are currently cooperating with her."
"Right now, VOID is the real threat. As for the Hidden Order... our goals are aligned for the time being." Yamasumi took a deep breath and agreed with Yamatang's statement.
At least in the lower city area, their goals were the same: they cooperated for the safety of everyone's lives and property.
In that case, as long as the Hidden Order doesn't act like VOID, attempting to turn everyone into their experimental subjects and treating living humans as beings inferior to them, nor like the superhumans, acting recklessly for their own benefit, arbitrarily using memory deletion to modify other people's memories, and remaining aloof for far too long.
From the official perspective, the Hidden Order Society is indeed one of the better partners among so many people.
In any case, there will be related organizations in the superpower world, and the government doesn't have that many superpowered people, so it's impossible to supervise every part of the superpower world.
So, before there was any disagreement on the objective, Yamasumi lowered her eyes. This was not only her idea, but also the idea of the higher-ups in Bureau 49. They were all capable of reaching a cooperation agreement.
As long as their goals are aligned, and all of them are dedicated to the safety of ordinary people's lives, they will never disregard the life of any individual.
……
After figuring it out, Yamasumi quickly took the communicator.
The intelligence gathered by the personnel of Bureau 49 from VOID was handed over to Longinus.
According to reliable intelligence, the mission within the instance is a trap; VOID is using these students as sacrifices.
[If you do manage to enter this instance, on behalf of everyone in Bureau 49, I beg you to protect these students.]
Although they are also superhumans, Yamasumi knows that they grew up in the superhuman world, and even if he comes into contact with them later, they may not necessarily be able to accept the ideas of the 49th Bureau.
But they are, after all, a group of children who are still in school.
The conflicts between organizations and the calculations between systems should have nothing to do with these children who are still in school.
There aren't many superhumans, so these kids need to go to the battlefield and deal with those monsters. It's not just Yamazumi; everyone in the 49th Bureau, though not explicitly stated, felt a sense of guilt.
It was their fault that they lacked the ability to persuade the children to let go of their burdens and shirk their responsibilities.
Not to mention that Yamasumi was a legitimate soldier who had passed through layers of screening before finally entering the country's secret agency, the 49th Bureau.
But they couldn't keep all the dangers out—even when the students trained, there was a virtual world created by the dungeons—they still needed these children to fight alongside them.
Don't say that this is the difference between people with superpowers and ordinary people. Having superpowers or not is a world of difference.
In the eyes of the people in Yamasumi, their superhumans were just ordinary people—ordinary people who should be protected by the soldiers in the safe zone.
We are very sorry that we were unable to stop VOID and put these children at risk.
If possible, please protect them and stay in touch.
Upon seeing this long string of text in the instance, Jiang Xingni suddenly fell into deep thought.
Jiang Xingni, who is not actually an adult by age and is still a child: ...
So what did they take Longinus for?
Did she succeed in saying what she wanted?
Has she been successfully influenced by Yamasumi and his group?
However, rather than being the one being protected, Jiang Xingni is more accustomed to protecting others and becoming the one others depend on.
She made no promises, only responded with a few words.
Stay connected.
After the communication ended, Jiang Xingni finally had time to think carefully about what the intelligence provided by the 49th Bureau really meant.
They haven't actually spent time together in the instance and can't provide more detailed information, but this is enough.
The quest in the instance is a trap.
Jiang Xingni ran towards the blue light in the mission indicators, and as she began to ponder the cause of death of the person with the question mark—whose name Jiang Xingni still didn't know—she was drawn to the notebook.
Then the vengeful spirit in the notebook successfully locked Jiang Xingni in this area.
Jiang Xingni opened the built-in panel thoughtfully and saw the task section.
[Points Mission: Investigate the truth behind the death. Completion will earn you #%! +]
The task is marked as completed, but the rewards section is now filled with gibberish.
