Beijing.

Mr. Hu, who also didn't sleep a wink and had dark circles under his eyes, was in no mood to think about retiring from his covert activities.

On the contrary, he began to doubt whether he could retire smoothly next year...

Looking at the report marked "Top Secret" in his hand, his mind buzzed continuously, suspecting at times that the world had opened up to him the wrong way today.

Biochemical Transformation People with multiple artificial marks on their bodies...

A little girl who seemed capable of directing dogs for reconnaissance and tracking...

An elderly man, seemingly half a foot in the grave, possessed hearing, muscle strength, and organ vitality that far surpassed an ordinary person's, with power comparable to a Superman...

And then there was the large ominous shadow in the brain CT scans of the corpse...

Every piece of information made Mr. Hu, a veteran who considered himself to have undergone a lifetime of experiences, twitch his eyelids uncontrollably.

How is it that yesterday I was working just fine in realistic intelligence work, and today I've inexplicably entered a magical realism theme theater?

"This is not scientific..."

Mr. Hu rubbed his brow, deeply concerned about the frightening development of biotechnology across the ocean.

Yes, Meng Lang finally managed to half-truthfully cajole Mr. Hu last night.

He didn't reveal any identity or origin details of the Night Demon Clan but instead used a string of "possibly," "maybe," "suspected" ... to shift the blame anonymously onto some secret experiments by a mysterious organization from a major country...

After all, who else could possibly possess such unprecedented top-level biotechnology but that world cop that sets up biochemical bases everywhere?

Even if it wasn't directly Uncle Sam, it certainly wouldn't be unconnected to them!

It might very well be a secret experiment conducted by some capitalist military-industrial group.

As for how to explain their intelligence source...

The Demon Hunter's network was vast; he had a "friend."

This "friend" was an orphan, secretly adopted and transformed by this evil organization since childhood, becoming the first generation of Biochemical Transformation People, forced to collude with them.

But in order to save his childhood sweetheart, who was also trapped in this demon lair, he eventually sacrificed his own life to bring out some intelligence on this evil organization...

Indeed, the prototype of this "friend" was Zhao Ge.

Art draws from life, even if in another world...

So, to fulfill his friend's dying wish, and to prevent the world from being destroyed, to safeguard Earth's peace, and to carry on the power of love and justice...

The Demon Hunter resolutely stepped forward, gathering eccentric talents from all over the world to secretly form the "Demon Hunter Organization" to counter them!

And Meng Xiaolang was noticed by the Demon Hunter at this time and became a... rank-18 peripheral member of the organization's logistics department.

Well... that's how the other side decided to position him...

The reason Meng Lang made up such a half-true story was because he didn't want to expose the existence of the Night Demon Clan at this stage.

Revealing the truth about the Night Demon Clan and establishing a united front is imperative, but it needs to be done gradually.

Not to mention the lack of sufficient evidence at present, whether the upper echelons of Country Hua would believe in the existence of aliens.

Even if they do believe, it's uncertain whether the internal factions might split into the war hawks and peace advocates.

After all, the Night Demon Clan has not yet fully exposed its hostility to humans.

With the unfounded awe and unrealistic fantasies towards aliens, someone is bound to advocate for peaceful coexistence, even attempting to make contact with them.

If by then they flatter with a couple of "peace-loving" speeches, the higher-ups might switch sides and sell him out, leaving Meng Lang truly at a loss for tears.

But if this blame is pinned on Uncle Sam, that's a different story.

Even the most naive People of Country Hua wouldn't hold any optimistic illusions about this old adversary.

If there's a chance to trap you, they'll definitely trap you to the utmost, especially in the current fierce competition stage between the two countries, where the domestic peace faction doesn't have much standing.

And when it comes to a notorious country, one with biotechnology supremacy globally... who can surpass them?

The 731 Unit is still conducting biochemical weapon research at their military base, so shifting this blame across the ocean is irresistibly smooth and unimpeded.

Already being cautious of the opponent's "unconventional warfare," if Country Hua discovers that this might be Uncle Sam's handiwork, they'll treat it as a high-threat foreign espionage, and pursue it with bullish determination.

And they definitely won't hold any optimistic illusions.

This is to prevent information overload from causing chaotic decision-making on one side.

On the other side, it's also a strategic deception against the enemy.

The Night Demon Clan will sooner or later notice the Jinghai Welfare Institute has lost contact, and will surely investigate this.

If they find out they've been exposed, the Night Demon's actions won't remain as low-key as they are now, and they would be utterly unbridled.

If the other party thought the X-virus couldn't deal with humans, and the world line directly entered World War III, Meng Lang would be quite distressed too.

So, even if they knew about the Night Demon Clan's existence, they'd have to pretend to be unaware temporarily.

The Night Demon Clan didn't consider the time ripe to upend the table, and neither does Meng Lang.

"Because of being caught in a counter-espionage operation"...

This reason probably could somewhat reassure the Night Demon Clan, preventing them from jumping to the wall immediately.

As for when Country Hua delves deeper into this "spoils," discovering inconsistencies, Meng Lang could naturally excuse it as inaccurate intelligence.

After all, how could Zhao Ge, a rank-18 peripheral figure, know the "true face" of the evil organization?
