The Listener behind would also follow his scent, and quickly catch up to reestablish contact with him.

All he needed to do was quietly wait for the next order from the old director...

Just as he was deep in thought, a rugged, loud voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Great! You all did well, kids. Now I want to pick a lucky audience member to sing 'Devotion to Country' with Uncle Police. Anyone interested, raise your hand!"

"Me! Me me!"

"Oh! The pretty little girl holding a puppy at the back, you're the only one who didn't raise your hand. Are you still scared? That's not good, it's decided! Let's all get excited together!"

Xiao Yu: "..."

"The sound of hooves rush south as people watch from the north... The great Country Hua invites all lands... to celebrate~~~"

The speeding minibus left a trail of ghostly wails on the highway...

...

About half an hour after the vehicle passed, a yellow mutt was panting heavily as it sprinted in the emergency lane.

If Ning Shisan were present, he would definitely say it's fate.

Because this dog was exactly the one that assisted in his "prison break" recently!

"Woof~woof~"

At a certain boundary marker, the yellow mutt stopped for a moment to rest, sniffed slightly, as if searching for something, and then continued to sprint forward.

Its limited brain capacity didn't allow it to contemplate why, but as long as it was the master's order, it would execute it faithfully...

[Captain Chu, the drone team really found a tail behind us, can you believe it's four-legged?!]

[...]

[Sniper B Group in position, take it down, recovery team prepare for retrieval. ]

[Yes!]

Moments later...

"Phew!"

[Sniper B Group, mission completed!]

[Recovery team, target retrieved, not a single hair left... ]

On the highway, only a dark red stain remained, and nothing else...

...

That night, at a certain military base.

Still in the same conference room as last time, strings of text were being typed on the public screen, summarizing the post-battle routines...

[Captain Chu, did we encounter someone with special abilities?]

[I think it was a Beast Tamer? This ability is truly enviable, a few dogs on the battlefield and you hardly need scouts, right?]

[I think it's some crazy scientist's incredible technology, that basement was clearly a biological lab?]

[No wonder we were told to be careful with our words, is it to prevent eavesdropping by dogs?]

[Then comes the question, how do they extract intelligence from a dog's mouth?]

[Uh... I can understand making dogs obey, but understanding dog language is something I can't comprehend...]

[But that Demon Hunter is quite ruthless, wanting to bring someone back for dissection at the slightest disagreement. Does he have legal procedures?]

[It feels like we're entangled in some mysterious incident, pretty exciting when you think about it!]

[That old one's abnormal, could the young ones be too...?]

[Certainly, otherwise they wouldn't suggest seriously sending those little ones to 'that place'...]

[Sigh! Hope that old guy hasn't done anything crazy to those kids, after spending an afternoon with them, it's hard to part.]

[Hey! Speaking of which, you were the loudest and most lively during the task, can't change your karaoke king nature even on duty.]

[I was strictly following task requirements, didn't you see that target little girl nearly singing until hoarse, by the time we got off, all she had left in her eyes were cartoon spirals.

Do you have the charisma to hold the field like that?]

[The task is over, right? Why is everything related still being subtitled...]

[Is there still a remnant force?]

[What remnant force could infiltrate a military base?]

[Hmm... doesn't our logistics department keep a few military dogs?]

[Uh...]

[Alright, stop guessing wildly. Today's mission is classified top-secret, absolutely no external disclosure, understood?]

Chu Tian rubbed his temples in exasperation.

Everything today was bizarre: the strange Demon Hunter, the strange mission, the strange orphanage...

What kind of people were these opposing parties...

Just then, a team member walked in from outside, holding up a file and started speaking.

"Captain, we've found the identity of that contact person!"

"Oh?" Chu Tian raised an eyebrow.

The Demon Hunter had never shown up, leaving them with no angle of attack, but Ning Shisan, who appeared today, couldn't escape the intelligence network of Country Hua...

But as he glanced at the intelligence handed over by the team member, he was stunned.

"International mercenary... Black Cat?!"

Everyone: "..."

"Uh... Captain, this Black Cat, isn't it the same Black Cat we encountered before?"

Chu Tian frowned.

"Back then, we were ordered to change our squad name to 'Demon Hunting Team' which already felt strange.

Now it seems today's contact is indeed the same group we encountered last time..."

"No way, does that mean they had already planned to build a connection with us in Damascus?"

"Hey! We really owe them for this boost from afar, a huge favor!"

"But who's so resourceful to, in this manner, pre-book our elite team?"

"This task seemed directly issued by the intelligence department, could it be from their comrades?"

Chu Tian hadn't had the chance to comment when a military doctor, dressed in a white lab coat, stumbled in.

"Chu... Captain Chu! You have to... have to see this!" The military doctor's face flushed red, unsure whether in fear or excitement.

"What is it?" Chu Tian took the report from his hand with a puzzled look.

Moments later...

"Crash!" He, with a face of shock, stuffed the report into his chest, blocking the prying gazes of a few team members behind him.

After a pause, as if recovering from a state of distraction, he immediately donned an incredibly serious expression.

"I need to report this to the higher-ups immediately. What happened today, no one present is allowed to disclose a single word!

Entire team, from now on, seal off the surrounding areas of the lab, personnel can only enter, no one leaves, not a single fly is to get out!"

"Huh?"

"What are you standing there for? Execute the order immediately!"

"Uh... yes!"

...

Late that night, Meng Lang, who had been sleeping soundly, received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello ~ who is this, do you know what time it is in Beijing right now?" Meng Lang evidently still had some sleepiness.

[I'm in Beijing as well, whatever time it is for you, it's the same for me!]

"Uh..." Meng Lang paused, recognizing the voice on the other end.

It was clear the caller also had quite the morning grumpiness...

"Haha! It's Mr. Hu, ha~ is there something important this late?" He yawned.

[What's with that Foo... task, what exactly is going on?]

Seemingly recalling something, Mr. Hu changed his tone mid-sentence.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Meng Lang feigned ignorance.

[Don't play dumb with me, the people you borrowed, the things you did, you're telling me you didn't know?]

"Uh... you should talk to Chairman Gao, I'm actually just the errand boy..."

[Don't start with that, I just asked Gao Yuan, and she knows nothing of it!

Judging by how you divide your responsibilities, Gao Yuan is definitely with the business department, while the Demon Hunter is obviously from the tech department.

Thinking it over, you're the only one, with your unparalleled martial skills, who seems to be with the military department!]

Uh...

Meng Lang was dumbfounded.

You've found out my nickname, yet you don't know that I'm basically a top-tier five-scum human?

Right, since you've heard of my alias, haven't you considered that I should actually belong to the logistics department as a top-tier human doctor?

In this fleeting moment of regret, Meng Lang, having been nagged half the night by an old man the day before, showed up at the opposite diner with dark circles under his eyes to have breakfast.

Master Yan, can I ask you a question? Do you all in the world often hold those legendary ceremonies?"

Like washing your hands with a golden basin or something...

Yan Weiwei: "..."
