Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 64: Visit from the Investigation Bureau
Huang Hongtian held a pen in his hand, and the tip of the pen drew a black line on the white paper. He stared at the black line silently for a long time before he asked, "How did you find out?"
The staff member handed over some documents and said after considering for a while,
“There is also an element of coincidence.”
"You asked us to raise the attention level of some civilian awakeners. Among them, the attention level of the strongest hunter 'Xing Jinglei' is the first tier, second only to Xinhuo."
"While paying attention, an investigator from Anmen City discovered that... uh, this Xing Jinglei and that Hei Dao walked into the same hotel."
"This could also be due to their friendship. There is no clear evidence yet, but didn't you say to make bold inferences and carefully verify them?"
Huang Hongtian flipped through the information. There was still not much content, just some clues.
For example, Pei is setting up a security company, and many of its business dealings are related to a company in Baijiang, a company under the name of An Jianyou.
There is even less information about the tall woman in Silver City, and she is full of mysteries, but her methods are very magical.
Just like the black knife when it first appeared.
The information found so far does not provide any definite evidence. Xing Jinglei and Pei Hongjing are the most likely suspects, almost certain... Xing Jinglei's last itinerary was that he got off the train at Shuize South Station.
The tall woman, Ilohi, there are only some clues pointing to them at the moment.
Take a wild guess.
but,
Huang Hongtian thought about it carefully and realized that linking all the unscientific and exaggerated things with Xinhuo seemed... not unreasonable.
The possibility is great, no need to be bold.
Indeed, his understanding of Xinhuo has more than doubled now.
That’s right, this isn’t the kind of understanding he wants!
Director Huang tapped the table and pondered for a while. "We still have to continue investigating, but remember that everything must be done within the scope of conventional means. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, more or less. It's not that important now."
"Just talk to Xinhuo, the mentor."
"I visited you in person, and besides that..."
This is a visit, so he certainly can't go alone. He has to select suitable personnel from the bureau and go to Xinhuo's base.
Not only a visit, if there is an opportunity, he also wants to have more in-depth communication and learning.
In that case...
Huang Hongtian crossed out some names.
Those who are good at communication and have strong strength... Since they are preparing for communication, strength is very important and cannot be underestimated by Xinhuo, so he selected some good masters.
After thinking about it, he also circled Zhou Hai and Bai Xue from Baijiang Branch.
…
Xinhuo Secret Realm, first floor of the base.
Clang——
Xing Jinglei flew backwards, rolled twice, and crashed into the energy wall, grinning.
"No more fighting, no more fighting, he is simply a monster."
"You're clearly carrying a load and your speed isn't much faster than mine, so why can't you avoid it ?"
Xing Jinglei didn't understand.
He was no match for Heidao yesterday. To be more precise, he was bound to be defeated within ten moves. This was when they were sparring. If it was a life-and-death fight, he might not be able to last even three or five moves.
Today, Black Blade has achieved his third awakening, and his speed and strength have skyrocketed. He wants to spar with him but doesn't want to get beaten, so he wants Black Blade to wear the weighted vest and weighted bracelet specially provided by the training ground.
This guy Heidao actually agreed.
It was also particularly heavy. The two of them had measured their speed on a speeding track. If he burst out at full speed, he would be much faster than the one wearing the weighted black knife.
But, he was still crushed and beaten to the point of losing his temper.
Moreover, this fierce man Heidao did not use all of his awakened abilities.
"What level have you reached with your swordsmanship?"
He couldn't help asking.
His boxing skills are expert-level, his force generation techniques are extremely sophisticated, and his moves are varied. He himself is often amazed at this, but in front of Hei Dao, he is like a HD toddler, full of flaws. Even though he is faster, he is completely led by Hei Dao throughout the fight and is in Hei Dao's rhythm.
I am being held tightly under control and cannot control myself!
When he would lose and how he would lose seemed to be controlled by Black Knife.
It’s scarier than yesterday, countless times scarier!
“Reaching the pinnacle.”
Heidao whispered, unloaded the weight, reached out and grasped the hilt, and the huge machete was slowly pulled out with his movement.
The speed was not fast, but there was a bright flash of sword light that burst out, filling the wide training ground and lingered for a long time.
A few dozen meters away, Xing Jinglei's eyes widened and he touched his cheek.
He just felt a sharp aura passing through his face.
If I were to face it head on, I'm afraid my whole body would be split apart mentally.
It's so scary.
Don’t mess with me!
You are the boss.
But Xing Jinglei still couldn't control his curiosity and asked about the changes in the Black Blade's three awakenings.
When Heidao was sparring with him just now, his ability was still at yesterday's level.
Obviously released into the sea.
He added, "It's not a sparring match, just a test of ability...be gentle."
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible storm spread from the black knife, and a terrible murderous intent was overwhelming.
Awakening ability: cold murderous intent!
Xing Jinglei had experienced this before.
But this time it was different. The invisible murderous intent was as real as substance, strangling his throat. His vision was covered with a faint blood-red color. Figures holding swords and weapons rushed towards him with a determined murderous intent. He seemed to be on a bloody battlefield, and the soldiers charged towards him like a tide and a sea.
It is actually much more terrifying than the evil tide!
“Hoo~Hoo~”
Xing Jinglei was breathing heavily. With his ability and resistance, he certainly wouldn't kneel down directly in front of this murderous intent, but he was trembling all over, and his strength was reduced by only 60% to 70%.
Those who are a little weaker would probably fall down in large numbers when the cold murderous intent spreads.
Between breaths, the terrifying murderous intent gradually subsided.
The invisible force did not dissipate, but lingered around the black knife, gradually turning into a light black color visible to the naked eye.
Converge and compress, converge and compress.
Xing Jinglei opened his eyes wide and saw that the murderous intent turned from invisible to visible, spreading through the black clothes bit by bit, and gradually turned into a black armor with a shiny black luster.
Under the luster, there is a captivating murderous intent.
"What's this move called?"
"You haven't picked a name yet? Then let's call it Killing Armor, it's cool!"
Xing Jinglei was amazed and envious.
But Heidao did not join in on the exclamation. He just turned around and continued training on his own.
Not really!
You are so strong and yet you are still fighting so hard, you are going to kill me!
hateful!
Xing Jinglei punched the special sandbag again and again, causing the entire sandbag to twist and deform. Circles of shock waves spread out in all directions, and the training ground was filled with the sound of bangs and crashes.
suddenly,
“Ding Dong!”
“Ding Dong!”
A mechanical reminder sounded in the minds of the two people who were training non-stop.
…
"The main personnel for this reception are tentatively Pei Hongjing, An Jianyou, and Heidao."
certainly,
Heidao is taciturn, and An Jianyou is just a female college student and a girl from a wealthy family. The person who is truly responsible for reception, communication, and in-depth exchanges and transactions with the Investigation Bureau is Pei Hongjing.
Not only these three people, Fang You also selected some peripheral personnel to form this reception team.
"If these people perform well, we can use them as a base to set up a management department."
"Now that Xiaohuan is here, tasks, resources and personnel arrangements are in good order, and I can even free up my hands to do other work."
"But Xinhuo will eventually have to contact external forces and establish offices one after another. This is just the beginning."
He also looks forward to communicating with the Investigation Bureau.
Cooperation is beneficial to both parties. The Investigation Bureau and the Special Forces also have things that Xinhuo does not have.
…
The next day,
Early in the morning, several high-end yet low-key official cars drove out of Shuize City and headed towards the once popular high-end resort outside the city.
"Sure enough, Pei Hongjing is a member of Xinhuo, maybe the entire Pei Group is."
They contacted An Jianyou yesterday and asked An Jianyou to convey the message.
Soon, exciting news came that the extremely mysterious and elusive Xinhuo mentor agreed to meet them!
The location is not the office in Baijiang City, but the Xinhuo Training Base outside Shuize City.
"According to the information we have collected, this training base was rebuilt not long ago. It is definitely not the real headquarters of Xinhuo. However, I think it is also a relatively important base of Xinhuo."
“Arranging it here is a good start.”
A man wearing glasses said.
He is Huang Hongtian's deputy, an important figure within the Investigation Bureau, and also one of the best special investigators.
Xinhuo is an organization that perseveres in the darkness and silently fights against evil. The organization is full of awe-inspiring warriors. Taking this into consideration, the entourage selected by Director Huang this time are almost all awakened ones, special investigators fighting on the front line.
It can also win the favor of others and enable them to have in-depth communication.
In the car, Director Huang said, "Since Xinhuo has opened this training base to us, it is very likely that we can visit it."
"The purpose of this visit, in addition to establishing a formal relationship with Xinhuo, is most importantly to communicate and learn."
"You are all good hands in my investigation bureau. If you have the chance this time, you must seize it firmly."
While talking,
The mountains and buildings in the distance, shrouded in light clouds, appeared in everyone's sight.
Xinhuo Base is almost here.
