Due to its unique nature and the geographical environment of this mission, the Investigation Bureau dispatched Shangxing deep into the mountains to find this auxiliary personnel, who appeared blessed by fortune, seeking help. It was precisely thanks to this that he completed several days of reconnaissance unnoticed by the enemy and successfully received and transferred the intelligence from Pei Yan.
After receiving the confirmation from Mei Simiao, Gu Shenghui breathed a sigh of relief and Mei Simiao nodded at Yuan Shaoqing behind her. Yuan Shaoqing, having received the command, walked to the corner of the meeting room and pushed a cart, distributing the files on top to each participant involved in this operation.
Dong Shigang opened the folder and browsed through its contents, which detailed the geographical location and internal facility maps of the raid target, as well as the configuration of the opposing members. Upon seeing the end, he shook his head in disappointment, saying: "The file only marks the potential number of senior figures within the Divine Desire, but apart from a few opponents we've encountered, their personal intelligence remains unknown."
"This can't be helped. Pei Yan has been in the Divine Desire Organization for a short time and hasn't gained their trust. It's already commendable that she could deliver such intelligence." Gu Shenghui defended his subordinate while flipping through the files.
Beside Dong Shigang, Liu Xuan nodded: "I understand, but could this task be a trap set by Divine Desire, like a repeat of the Secret Prison incident?"
"Whether it's a trap or not." The middle-aged major general sitting at the head of the meeting room rose and walked over to Mei Simiao, scanning the room with a serious gaze, saying: "For this mission, we've not only coordinated with the foreign counterpart of the Trans-dimensional Event Management Center but also obtained assistance from high-level figures in the trans-dimensional world. We shall use absolute force to completely eliminate the last remnants of Divine Desire's strength within the country and perfectly accomplish the task assigned by the organization!"
"Yes!"
With both sides intensely preparing, time passed by bit by bit. As expected, two days later in the morning after breakfast, Mr. Mu appeared in front of the Pei Family Siblings. Without needing further words, Pei Yan understood the purpose of the visit and set down her bowl and chopsticks, with the siblings following Mr. Mu to the operation site.
Pei Yan, always curious about how Divine Desire would transfer the Origin Maiden, was shocked by the sight upon arriving at the scene, feeling a twinge of indignation within. Pointing at the object in the center of the venue, he turned to Mr. Mu and questioned, "Is this your method of transfer? Even if her essence isn't human, this still seems too...".
Mr. Mu coldly followed Pei Yan's finger with his gaze. At this moment, the culture tray originally containing the Origin Maiden had been emptied by the clear sky, and in the center of the site was a wooden box slightly larger than a hand-carried suitcase. The Origin Maiden was covered all over with various talismans, and unknown material dye was used to paint bizarre arrays on her body, making her seem like an object, folded and forcibly squeezed into the box.
Upon witnessing this, Pei Jin's eyes turned red and she attempted to approach, but Pei Yan grabbed her arm and held her back. The siblings had seen this box in the task briefing given by Divine Desire before but didn't expect it to be so small upon seeing it in reality. Seeing Mr. Mu not responding, Pei Yan continued questioning, "Is it necessary? At least make the box larger!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Mu finally withdrew his gaze, turning to Pei Yan and countering, "Is it necessary?" Seeing Pei Yan rendered speechless by his words, he shook his head with a smile, "Don't be deceived by her external appearance; her essence is a collection of energy. In essence, this human form is the true constraint for her. We seal her in a human body to better control her, but this body is nearing its usage limit. After this transfer is complete, we'll start preparing a new body for her. So, put away your compassionate thoughts; it's not worth it."
Pei Yan, hearing these words, lowered his head without further comment, recalling his past conversations with the Origin Maiden, and those infant test subjects who died. He repeatedly clenched and relaxed his hands for the third time, exhaled deeply, and forced a self-mocking smile at Mr. Mu: "True enough, I can't even look after myself, where would I find the time for others?"
"Don't say that. It's as if entering my Divine Desire is entering a den of tigers and wolves. Once this operation successfully concludes and you two siblings move overseas with us, there'll be a lively and colorful life waiting for you. Nothing you can imagine can't be provided by us." Mr. Mu said, patting Pei Yan's shoulder, continuing his persuasion.
Pei Yan perfunctorily nodded, and then the siblings were integrated into the escort team along with Shitang Longsi and three others, as arranged by Mr. Mu.
Meanwhile, outside the base, Huang Jun and Ma Jibo continued their guard duty, smoking and chatting idly. Despite being lower-tier personnel, the recent continuous activities at the base allowed them to sense the tension of something big approaching.
"Have you heard? That thing within the base is being transferred today. I heard during lunch that once it's gone, this base might as well be abandoned." Huang Jun inhaled smoke, leaned on the doorframe, and said quietly, blowing his nose.
"I know. You say it's been four or five years since we were assigned to guard this thing, yet you've never even seen it. What do you think it is?" Ma Jibo replied casually, holding his cigarette as non-core personnel like them had no access to top-secret details. However, they could occasionally glean snippets from conversations with those involved in core research.
"I heard it's a woman! But what kind of woman would be worthy of such protection? Must be extremely beautiful."
After hearing Huang Jun's words, Ma Jibo spat on the ground disdainfully, "You have no ambition. Could mere beauty warrant so much attention? Who's she, Fan Bingbing, Dilireba? There's definitely a reason!" Ma Jibo sighed regretfully, "Such a pity; whatever the reason, today she'll be moved, and who knows what fate lies ahead for us. Honestly, it's been nice being assigned here. Despite the hardship and monotony, our monthly pay hasn't decreased, unlike others who risk their lives committing murder and crimes. You know, though the news is continuously suppressed, Brother Zhi Rou says Divine Desire suffered great losses previously, with hundreds captured. I reckon we're doomed."
Listening to this, Huang Jun couldn't help but feel a sense of shared fate. Just as he was anxiously contemplating his future, a familiar black and white figure unexpectedly drifted into his line of sight amidst the bamboo forest.
