Chapter 29: Neutral Friendly
update icon Updated at 2023/7/27 10:10:12

The discussion in the conference room is still ongoing.

Various levels of leaders, including the director, haven't sat down and analyzed a case in such detail for a long time.

After all, in the handling of previous incidents, the warning system has been functioning normally, and once incidents of various levels occur, actions can be taken according to the established plan.

Moreover, so far, there have been no incidents above level B within the range of Springwood City.

Level A and S incidents currently only exist in people's hypothetical predictions.

Level C incidents: They can be handled by a single team of about twenty people. The targets do not possess mass destruction capabilities and have obvious weaknesses.

Level B incidents: They require the mobilization of two to three teams to handle together. The targets have strong mobility and unclear weaknesses, posing a high level of danger.

Level A incidents (hypothetical): They require the deployment of elite forces nationwide to encircle and suppress them. The targets have strong individual abilities, with a high probability of possessing mass destruction capabilities, severely affecting social stability.

Level S incidents (hypothetical): Unprecedented crises that may even affect the life and death of humanity. Global cooperation is necessary for their extermination, but usually there is no hope.

Since the first temporal rift incident occurred worldwide ten years ago,

People have been prepared to deal with increasingly unpredictable escalating incidents. Fortunately, the scale of the incidents has remained between level C and level B,

But that doesn't mean there won't be higher-level threats in the future.

Therefore, as the authority in charge of handling incidents, the Special Operations Bureau bears a burden that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The reason why Yu Tianzong attaches such importance to Wu Xian is precisely because, based on the current information, this seemingly unknown innkeeper has already stepped close to the edge of a level A incident. This is an unprecedented event for the country and even for all of humanity.

After this meeting, there must be minutes to be recorded and archived.

"We previously mentioned the relationship between the blonde girl and Wu Xian.

Here, let me make a speculation. The reason why the blonde girl can freely enter and leave the inn without any restrictions and can even travel to another dimension through the inn.

I think there is a good possibility that she is Wu Xian's subordinate.

Wu Xian previously said she was a poor runaway girl who had to take her in because of the rain.

From another perspective, it is the girl who voluntarily sought refuge with Wu Xian, and he reluctantly took her in. As the target of a level B incident, she was easily obliterated by her fire abilities, yet this formidable girl still needed to beg earnestly before Wu Xian reluctantly accepted her. This shows that Wu Xian himself possesses extraordinary abilities."

Qing Xue spoke confidently,

Everyone else listened attentively.

"Now let's talk about the last issue, which is Wu Xian's attitude towards humanity.

I have also made speculations before that Wu Xian was originally just a native resident of a small town. Now he suddenly becomes a master with at least the ability to alter space. However, from his past experiences, we cannot find any traces. Therefore, the possibility of him being replaced by a higher-dimensional life is high.

In other words, he is no longer human.

From his willingness to stay in seclusion and not cause any trouble before we discovered him, it seems that he does not have a strong desire to provoke incidents.

And when the three groups were trapped in the corridor and unable to escape, he willingly revealed himself to help us out of the situation.

Perhaps he doesn't want to directly conflict with the Special Operations Bureau responsible for resolving incidents, which is why he showed goodwill.

Therefore, my personal suggestion is,

Before we figure out the purpose of his long-term stay in Springwood City, we shouldn't startle him. Instead, we should proceed cautiously.

If we determine that he has no interest in disrupting human society, we can even turn him from an enemy to a friend and fight together against the enemies from the temporal rift."

Upon hearing this, Ke Zhigang couldn't help but speak up,

"Absurd! Those who are not of our kind have different hearts! He may not be causing trouble now, but who can guarantee that he is not doing some scheming behind the scenes. In my opinion, we must quickly conduct research and investigation on him, and if necessary, take compulsory measures to prevent any potential danger.""To be as calm as you, when someone else is making a big case, we won't even have time to cry."

Qing Xue immediately frowned. Although Ke Zhigang was more than ten years older than her and was considered a veteran in the Action Bureau, they were now at the same level and she only needed to show him some respect on normal occasions.

She didn't expect this guy to contradict her in front of the bureau chief. Did she still have any face left?

"Captain Ke, aren't you just arguing for the sake of arguing? Did I say we shouldn't investigate? What I meant was to proceed gradually, instead of rushing and potentially causing harm to the others. It's just tedious when you always take things out of context."

Ke Zhigang raised his eyebrows, about to refute again, but then he heard Yu Tianzong cough and say, "Next, let's discuss why this C-level case has been upgraded to a B-level case."

Upon hearing this, Ke Zhigang immediately deflated. He had lost interest in arguing with Qing Xue any further.

It was true that the target had escaped from the Second Unit's hands, and a police officer was seriously injured. If it weren't for timely treatment, he might have died on the spot.

Ke Zhigang had entrusted the rookie Xiao Zhao with handling the tranquilizer gun shortly after his entry into the unit, claiming it was a form of training. Although there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, Xiao Zhao was still inexperienced and severely lacking in experience.

Although the specially designed tranquilizer in the Action Bureau was highly potent, considering that the targets had different body types, the duration of its effect could vary slightly. But Xiao Zhao treated them all the same, even forgetting that those creatures might have developed immunity to the tranquilizers.

Therefore, after the target was shot and fell to the ground, instead of waiting at least 30 seconds according to the protocol, Xiao Zhao immediately approached to check the effect of the tranquilizer. Unexpectedly, the monster was insensitive to the tranquilizer and regained its mobility shortly after the brief sedation.

Caught off guard, Xiao Zhao was attacked at close range, luckily avoiding any vital organs. Otherwise, he would have died on the spot.

Ke Zhigang stood up and sincerely said, "I take responsibility, I will write the report."

Yu Tianzong glanced at him and said, "The bureau assigned Si Qiao to assist you as a way to correct some of the Second Unit's careless behavior in the past. Many old practices are no longer applicable with the development of the times. You need to change your mindset quickly in order to adapt to new situations and problems."

"Yes, Bureau Chief," Ke Zhigang dared not retort.

"Alright, let's adjourn the meeting. Qing Xue, please prepare the meeting minutes as soon as possible."

"Yes, Bureau Chief," Qing Xue replied crisply.

As the long meeting came to an end, people stood up and stretched their bodies. At this moment, Ke Zhigang's phone rang. He glanced down to see that it was Wang Shuangshuang calling.

He was startled. Could something else have happened?

Ke Zhigang hurriedly answered the phone in front of everyone, and within two seconds, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

"What! You guys actually..."
