"You can call me Captain from now on."<br><br>Jane Chen seemed to be constantly by the phone, always answering quickly and with concise responses: "Any discoveries?"<br><br>"There is indeed something strange; it goes like this..."<br><br>Luke Sin hurriedly recounted everything he had heard from Ryan Quinn, leaving nothing out.<br><br>This was his first mission, and he spoke very seriously, worried about missing something and getting his pay docked.<br><br>"Did you really make progress this quickly?"<br><br>Jane Chen was clearly a bit surprised, but she quickly responded in a calm voice: "You've done well. This can indeed be determined as a psychological contamination incident. I'll organize a contamination investigation team to follow up immediately... By the way, where are you right now?"<br><br>"Quad Logistics Transport Company... in the backyard..."<br><br>Luke Sin reported his location and then cautiously asked, "What should I do now?"<br><br>"Wait there."<br><br>Jane Chen said, "A three-person team will soon come to rendezvous with you. Accompany them in the investigation; they are very experienced veterans. However, you must remember, you are the psychic mutant, and sometimes their experience is no match for your intuition. So, the main investigations should be led by you, with them following your commands."<br><br>"For now, considering your lack of experience, I will lead this investigation."<br><br>"Through wireless means."<br><br>"......"<br><br>Jane Chen decisively hung up, leaving Luke Sin muttering to himself, "About the reward..."<br><br>His sister, feeling quite bored, climbed onto a nearby garage and squatted there, watching the moon.<br><br>Ryan Quinn’s fear and relentless curiosity had not yet faded. He took a few steps toward Luke Sin, but didn't dare get too close. Subconsciously fearful of Luke Sin at this moment, yet not wanting to show it, he stayed a distance away, forcing a calm demeanor: "What... do you plan to do?"<br><br>Luke Sin didn’t want him to see that he was a newbie, so he also feigned composure: "Temporarily wait."<br><br>And so, the two of them sat there awkwardly waiting for ten minutes.<br><br>Until the atmosphere grew so awkward that nobody knew how to break it, suddenly there was an urgent screech of brakes. A black jeep swiftly drove into the company, its sturdy body exuding a cold toughness. After charging in, it quickly spun half its body in the square, and the doors opened, letting out three fully armed personnel.<br><br>The brave employees within the company dared not even breathe loudly at this moment.<br><br>Then, one of the armed men strode over to Luke Sin, firmly gripping the gun in his arms, and stood at attention.<br><br>"Mr. Luke Sin, we are the special contamination investigation team stationed in City No.2, here under Colonel Andy Chen's orders to rendezvous with you!"<br><br>"......"<br><br>Luke Sin instinctively stood at attention, internally marveling, "They actually called me 'Mister'..."<br><br>"How formal."<br><br>Hurriedly, he explained, "You can just call me Little Luke..."<br><br>The man remained expressionless: "Yes, Mr. Luke Sin!"<br><br>......<br><br>......<br><br>The armed personnel dispatched by Jane Chen operated in a manner as swift and decisive as their appearance suggested. After meeting up with Luke Sin, two of them quickly returned to the jeep. With a flurry of actions, they mounted several complex and awe-inspiring precision instruments, laden with tentacles, onto the car's roof.<br><br>Then squad leader Cheng Hui, from the team, handed Luke Sin a black box.<br><br>Luke Sin maintained his calm demeanor and movements, trying not to look like a rookie. Upon opening the box, he found a headset with an ear clip nestled within the black velvet. Looking up, he noticed that each armed person also wore such a device. Without needing instruction, he put it on.<br><br>He waited, unsure of what to do next.<br><br>A silent armed individual stepped forward, helped him press a button, and then quietly stepped back.<br><br>A female electronic voice prompt immediately sounded in his ear.<br><br>"Investigation team line connected..."<br><br>"Intel deciphering squad line connected..."<br><br>"Coordinating personnel line connected..."<br><br>"......"<br><br>Luke Sin gratefully glanced at the armed personnel.<br><br>"External member of the action investigation team, Luke Sin, repeat your previous investigation results!"<br><br>After three consecutive signals connected, Jane Chen's voice emerged in his earphones, crisp and cold.<br><br>Luke Sin knew this was a crucial work moment, so he dared not be careless. He repeated what he had just reported to Jane Chen. Jane Chen listened without interruption and then calmly spoke again: "Intel deciphering squad!"<br><br>"Hello Mr. Luke Sin, I am Sergeant Han Bing from the intel deciphering squad. My team and I will provide you with information support."<br><br>A slightly sweet but somewhat gentle voice spoke, yet her speech was very coherent:<br><br>"Firstly, reporting on the event data:<br><br>Temporary code: Level D Special Contaminant - 041<br><br>Target class: Pending<br><br>Infection class: Suspected low-level<br><br>Threat level: Suspected low-level<br><br>Relevant personnel: Ryan Quinn from Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City Four Directions Transport Company"<br><br>"......"<br><br>"From Mr. Luke Sin's report, this is very likely a novel psychological contamination incident not previously documented. The recommended specific measures are: First, conduct an immediate investigation, locate the contaminant source, and proceed with cleansing operations."<br><br>"Second, directly detain the involved Ryan Quinn, wait for the contaminated to approach, observe subsequent changes, and gather clues."<br><br>"If necessary, consider giving Ryan Quinn to be killed by the other side, to sever their logic chain!"<br><br>"......"<br><br>"Ah?"<br><br>Luke Sin was momentarily stunned by the voice from the channel.<br><br>It was his first time encountering such a situation, so his reaction was somewhat slow.<br><br>For instance, he hadn’t thought that, in dealing with so many avengers, handing someone over for execution could actually be an option?<br><br>"This is your first formal investigation and a learning opportunity," Jane Chen's voice echoed in his earphones. "In future field operations, there will always be a dedicated intel deciphering squad as your technical support, analyzing information, providing data, and offering action suggestions, among others. You should quickly adapt to this mode."<br><br>Luke Sin immediately understood that Jane Chen was instructing him and promptly nodded, "Alright!"<br><br>Only then did Jane Chen explain: "Sometimes, attempting to meet specific needs of the contaminant source is also a method to weaken the mental wave intensity of the contaminant source, seize the opportunity to search for clues, or even proceed with cleansing. Previously, there have been cases where the contaminant source disappeared on its own after satisfying its unique demands. However, due to insufficient information on the 041 contamination incident, this approach will not be adopted for now."<br><br>"My recommendation is to immediately conduct an investigative action, identify the contaminant source's location, and undertake cleaning."<br><br>"......"<br><br>Sergeant Han Bing's voice immediately chimed in:<br><br>"Therefore, the primary direction of the investigation is recommended to be: Ryan Quinn's first murder site and the location where the corpse was processed!")
