Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Not only did Su Meng send Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu out of the room, she even sent them out of the nightclub.

“Don’t let these two in.”

“Understood.”

When the two patrol officers standing at the entrance of the nightclub heard Su Meng’s orders, they looked at Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu and nodded solemnly.

Su Meng smiled and waved goodbye to Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu.

“Bye, guys.”

“Wait.”

Gu Hongyu frowned. She looked at Su Meng and said in a low voice, “Agent Su, you should know that this case doesn’t look that simple. This was no ordinary murder case. It was a supernatural murder case. Moreover, one of the victims was Xiao Jingtian’s brother, Xiao Jingnan’s lover. A case like this is not something that the local police could handle.”

When Su Meng heard this, she frowned. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Gu Hongyu. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

With that, Su Meng instructed the two patrol officers at the door not to let them in. Then, she turned around and walked back in.

Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu watched as Su Meng walked away. They looked at each other, then turned around and returned to their car.

After getting into the car, Gu Hongyu’s expression was twisted in frustration. “What is this Miss Su planning to do? She should know this case is out of their league.”

Zheng Sen, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Gu Hongyu and seemed to have thought of something. “No, she actually knows very well.”

Gu Hongyu looked at Zheng Sen, confused. Zheng Sen did not say anything. He only responded to his colleague with a knowing look.

Gu Hongyu’s eyes widened. She looked at Zheng Sen and asked, “Zheng Sen, are you saying that she wants to join us?”

Zheng Sen nodded. “That’s the only reasonable explanation.”

The Special Disaster Operations Team that he and Gu Hongyu were in was in charge of handling cases related to superhumans. From petty theft to arson, as long as superhumans were involved, they would handle them.

There was only one criterion for the Special Disaster Operations Group to recruit members. Before they were considered, they had to successfully crack a case involving superhumans.

At first, the higher-ups thought of recruiting them externally, but after some thought, they rejected this idea. The first reason for this was that the matter of superhumans was basically protected from ordinary people. Another responsibility of Homeland Security was to maintain and handle it well, protect the ordinary people, while maintaining the secrecy of superhumans. Civilians could not know.

As for the second reason, Homeland Security was also a law enforcement agency. Naturally, instead of directly recruiting from the civilian population and causing such a huge commotion, it was better to choose from other law enforcement agencies.

After all, an agent who could enter a law enforcement agency had already been screened once. The fact that he could solve a supernatural case as an ordinary agent was enough to show his capability.

Seeing this, Gu Hongyu’s eyes lit up. She looked at Zheng Sen and said, “In that case, does this guy really have a chance to join us?”

After she returned to the police station yesterday, she read Xu Bai’s file. She looked at Xu Bai’s extensive resume after he joined the police station last year and was really impressed.

“Right now?”

When Gu Hongyu heard Zheng Sen’s words, she was a little happy. After all, only by becoming a Transcendent would she know how big their world was.

But…

Zheng Sen did not feel happy. Instead, he looked at Gu Hongyu and asked, “Do you really think this is a good opportunity?”

Gu Hongyu frowned.

“Isn’t it?”

“It’s not that simple.”

“What?”

Zheng Sen shook his head helplessly and looked at his colleague.

“Have you forgotten why we noticed Agent Xu?”

“I know, Liu San.”

“Who did he give the credit to?”

“The eldest daughter of the Su family.”

“Do you know what the first thing the higher-ups do when they join our team?”

“Of course, it’s a trial…”

Gu Hongyu said subconsciously, then paused. She thought of something and looked up at Zheng Sen. “You’re worried that if Xu Bai comes in, the higher-ups will investigate and expose Liu San’s matter. It shouldn’t go that far, right? Su Bancheng is the deputy director of Operations after all. He should be able to suppress such a small matter, right?”

Zheng Sen smiled.

The secret operation was a secret because all the operations were carried out with discretion. Once it was out in the open, it was no longer a secret operation.

Furthermore…

Zheng Sen looked at the Night Rose nightclub through the car window and said with a frown, “Although Sun Qinya’s strength is much weaker than Xiao Jingnan’s, she’s still a Level 4 Martial Apprentice. You’ve examined her body. It was a clean kill. Moreover, it was a single blow that killed her. Sun Qinya didn’t stand a chance.”

Gu Hongyu recalled the crime scene and nodded. “There were also four other bodies in the room. Those men were also dispatched efficiently. There was no unnecessary bloodshed. The superhuman who killed Sun Qinya is at least a level five Martial Apprentice.”

Zheng Sen nodded. “Last time, Agent Xu was able to kill Xiao Jingtian because Xiao Jingtian had just possessed someone not long ago. Do you think our Agent Xu could’ve taken down a Level Five Martial Apprentice this time?”

Gu Hongyu raised her eyebrows and nodded in agreement.

If it was any ordinary person in peak physical shape, they might have been able to kill a Level One Martial Apprentice if they were lucky. But a Level Five Martial Apprentice? She and Zheng Sen were sure that if it was two against one, even she and Zheng Sen would be hard-pressed fighting a Level Five Martial Apprentice, let alone kill him.

Gu Hongyu looked at Zheng Sen. “So what should we do now? If the eldest daughter of the Su family has the gall to play it like this, wouldn’t Deputy Supervisor Su know?”

Zheng Sen laughed. “I’m afraid our Deputy Supervisor Su really doesn’t know. If he did, he probably wouldn’t even let his niece go out.”

“So what do we do now?”

“Business as usual.”

Zheng Sen laughed and said, “It’s not like we haven’t encountered cases where detectives refused to relinquish a case. Since he’s already refused us the case, let the higher-ups handle it.”

As he spoke, Zheng Sen took out his phone from his pocket. He called Deputy Supervisor Su, whom he had just had a chat with.

Deputy Supervisor Su was keeping tabs on Sun Qinya. Now that Sun Qinya was dead, it was naturally time to report the situation to Deputy Supervisor Su.
