Inside the surveillance room.

"Hiss~" Both Mr. Hu and Chu Tian, seated in front of the surveillance footage, couldn't help but gasp.

They couldn't hear what Xiao Yu was communicating with Iwazaki Hideyoshi in their minds, they could only see Iwazaki Hideyoshi rolling around frantically as if he were Sun Wukong being recited the incantation.

Tamed just like a well-trained lapdog...

"What a terrifying means of control."

Even Chu Tian, though a seasoned special operative accustomed to various inhuman methods, felt a chill down his spine.

Iwazaki Hideyoshi, by nature, wasn't a steadfast and battle-hardened warrior, but the human body's reaction to pain isn't easily feigned.

Judging from the recent physical responses, the amount of pain endured might have surpassed the level-ten labor pains experienced by women in childbirth.

The maximum level of pain that interrogation can inflict is probably just about this severe.

Such a level of agony, even if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to last long.

All interrogation methods, in essence, work by inflicting harm on the body, stimulating the nervous system in relevant areas to transmit pain signals to the brain.

And these neural parasitic organisms seem to directly impose false signals on the brain, creating a feeling of 'wishing for death.'

Keeping a person conscious while not worrying about overdoing the punishment and killing them...

It's truly the condition of wanting to live but unable to, wanting to die but forbidden.

What's more, unless you crack open the skull, this method of control is almost imperceptible by ordinary means; its concealment is too strong!

"Indeed, it's really terrifying..." Mr. Hu's eyelids twitched madly as he watched.

If it weren't for the battle at the orphanage, they would still be in the dark, unaware of such a frightening creature lurking in human society.

Not only possesses intelligence comparable to humans but also has the terrifying ability to manipulate people imperceptibly.

Who knows how many among humanity are like Xiao Yu, and how many more are these so-called Clans, just the thought sends chills down the spine...

"But the good news is, judging from the recent actions, this creature moves slowly and probably can't parasitize a host over long distances.

Our researchers have also confirmed that this organism cannot be exposed in the atmosphere for long.

Moreover, each time it splits is presumably a depletion to its main body.

If they could endlessly split, endlessly parasitize, humanity's plight would be very dangerous..."

Mr. Hu quickly calmed down and analyzed.

Whether switching back and forth between Xiao Yu and the puppy's bodies, or splitting off offspring to develop Clans, the creature has never moved more than a meter from its target.

The brain is good, but you can't expect its movement capacity to be very developed after disconnecting from the body.

This differs somewhat from the facehugger-like creatures that specialize in parasitism and quick movements.

And the existence form of the Divine Race determines they must depend on a host for long-term survival; exposed to the air, they will quickly suffocate due to dehydration and lack of oxygen.

"Mr. Hu, although the process is somewhat gruesome, the control effect does suggest that the plan proposed by the other side indeed has a high success probability."

After the shock, Chu Tian spoke with considerable excitement.

"Yes!" Mr. Hu nodded in agreement.

Both were veterans surviving battlefield gunfire and explosions, and although this terrifying organism slightly exceeded their understanding, they could accept it much better than ordinary people.

Very quickly, their focus was on the 'practicality' of it.

Weapons don't care about good or evil.

What's in our hands is justice!

"Moreover, the potential benefits here are enormous. Even if there's only a ten percent success rate, it's worth our effort! Only…" Chu Tian frowned, somewhat hesitant.

"What is it?" Mr. Hu inquired.

"I was thinking, the 'big sister' it mentioned just now...

Should be that helmeted little girl from before, right?"

"Hmm... most likely."

Through communication, got the monster inside willing to cooperate actively, and seemed to follow her command unequivocally, it could only be that mysterious little girl...

And she is also a key figure in this plan!

"That little girl certainly isn't ordinary...

Hmm... maybe she's not an ordinary human…" Mr. Hu pondered.

Being able to make the monster inside obey her every word, no matter how you look at it, the power and threat level of this little girl far surpasses that of the one inside the straitjacket.

"But this way, the initiative is not in our hands." Chu Tian worriedly said.

In the current situation, they are the implementers of the plan, responsible for utilizing Iwazaki Hideyoshi.

However, the one controlling Iwazaki Hideyoshi is Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu's controller is that mysterious little girl.

In other words, the final decision right over the 'product' Iwazaki Hideyoshi is in the hands of that mysterious organization.

Even if they maximize Iwazaki Hideyoshi's utility, in the event the other side turns, directly exercising a 'veto right,' wouldn't it be all for nothing?

Mr. Hu merely smiled indifferently.

No wonder, Chu Tian didn't know that this organization had helped Country Hua several times before, even using hacking techniques to help them swipe two strategic-level technologies from the other two major countries.

Its reputation... is almost revered.

But from Chu Tian's perspective, it's natural to have a certain wariness toward such a shadowy, enigmatic organization.

"It's a pity the other side never showed their face, if we knew that little girl's identity, we wouldn't be so passive, knowing nothing about her." Chu Tian lamented.

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Mr. Hu noncommittally glanced at a dossier on the table.

Completely clueless... Well, not exactly.

On the table were the materials he had just investigated using secret channels.

Although the relationship between both parties is still in the honeymoon phase, being a decisive intelligence leader, passive cooperation isn't his style.

So he had already started having people investigate the little girl's identity.

The investigation approach was quite simple. This little girl with such abilities could be, first, an extraordinary human with special "communication abilities."

The second possibility is that she... is actually a "monster" captured and turned by Meng Lang's organization, and at a higher level than the one he possesses in hand.

That's why the other party's organization holds so much information about such monsters.

But no matter the possibility, such an important existence would surely be closely protected by the other party's organization.

This explains why the "Number One Under Heaven," the Hero of Guanzhong, with overwhelming combat strength, is personally escorting her.

But reasoning through this makes things simpler.

Since there's a personal "bodyguard," the person is bound to be active near the protected target, coupled with the girl's age, height, and peculiar physique.

So all that's needed is to investigate the little girls that Meng Lang frequently contacts, matching these conditions, and screen them one by one, making it easy to identify a possible target.

And just as he had suspected.

Hmm... you could say, the investigation process went smoother than he thought, because the target was too obvious.

Lives next door for personal protection, and has even fallen for the girl's sister...

This is so like a plot from a modern urban novel...

Are you sure you're executing the organization's secret mission seriously?

Mr. Hu ridiculed in his heart, he didn't expect that he had even met the girl's sister before, it was Lawyer Lin, who had a brief encounter with Meng Lang in Beijing last time.

Lin Xiaoyu: 7 years old, Qing Song Primary School, Class 2-3 class leader, excellent grades...

Such a dangerous and important figure, and you actually let her attend a regular public primary school... and mix with a bunch of little kids...

It's just ridiculous!

Knowing the girl's identity might make him less passive.

But Mr. Hu also understood that the reason he could investigate Lin Xiaoyu's information was simply that the other side didn't mind showing this information to him.

Or rather... they had anticipated he would investigate Lin Xiaoyu's identity.

Wearing a helmet was just to prevent others from knowing their identities, not to keep it from him.

They had cooperated for so long, he believed that such mutual trust could be achieved.

On the one hand, they openly presented such an important figure in front of him, possibly as a gesture of reassurance...

But since they're being generous, he can't be stingy either.

Now that he knows the girl's identity, he cannot just do nothing.

After all, if Iwazaki Hideyoshi starts to take action, then Lin Xiaoyu's safety is not solely the responsibility of the other party.

Such an important core figure, leaving it to Meng Lang, who doesn't seem very reliable, to protect while flirting... even he can't feel the sense of security.

Moreover, although Meng Lang's individual combat strength may be strong, he can't provide 24-hour close protection.

For instance, in school, he can't freely operate, leaving the target completely in a protection vacuum...

However... to send a team of special forces to stationed in the school with a high profile for protection, the other side would certainly be displeased.

What way could show goodwill without arousing their resentment...

Mr. Hu touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Chu Tian in front of him.

"Major General Chu, I remember... you seem to have a son training in the army, right?"

"Uh..." Chu Tian was stunned, wondering how such a serious topic suddenly switched to his son.

What's up with everyone being interested in my son these past days?

"Yes, his name is Xiao Nan, and due to some incidents before, I put him in the military camp for training, so he won't be defenseless in the face of danger in the future."

Mentioning this made Chu Tian a bit depressed.

To think the son of a King of Soldiers was kidnapped by a few small-time crooks.

Though still young, Chu Tian didn't want to raise his son as a hothouse flower.

With a ruthless heart, and ignoring his wife's objections, he sent him directly to an old comrade's unit for devil training...

"That's great!" Mr. Hu laughed.

"I have a task here that needs a little special forces soldier!"

Chu Tian was dumbfounded.

"Uh... but he's only 8 years old..."

"Yes! The age is just right! It's settled then!"

"But I..."

"Don't worry, he'll get a special establishment, with full social insurance and housing fund!"

Chu Tian: "..."

Is this a problem about social insurance?

I did plan for him to join the system.

But I never thought he'd be getting a salary at 8 years old...
