Although there is only a small chance of achieving complete
transformation and successfully reaching the third phase, becoming a more stable mature form.
At least in terms of physical strength, it has basically reached the experintal expectations.
Jia Liang is already a Level Eight Official, with physical qualities far beyond ordinary people and is an agility-enhanced ability user.
Yet in this "Secondary Abnormal Stage," he sohow got his head blown off with a single punch?
Luo Lie couldn't help but ponder silently.
It seems, combining all intelligence from various sources, this Smiling Demon is indeed a monster highly skilled in martial arts.
At least in terms of strength, he brutally devastated Chen Rui, and in agility, he completely overpowered Jia Liang.
"If it really is him, erging again after laying low for half a month, he surely has so intention."
Zhuo Feng thought for a mont and then analyzed:
"I suspect that the reason he laid a deadly hand on Jia Liang might be to kill him to keep him silent."
Facing Luo Lie's probing gaze, Zhuo Feng paused and continued:
"Last ti when you instructed to investigate the leak on the 'Demon Hunting Operation, due to a manpower shortage, and my suspicion of an internal mole, I temporarily enlisted Jia Liang to assist in the investigation."
"He hadn't been part of that operation and couldn't have been the insider himself, and he had a group of informal staff at his disposal, making it very convenient for action."
"So over the past half month, apart from his main duties, he was basically busy with this..."
At this point, Luo Lie suddenly grasped the key aspect.
"What about the investigation list in his hands?"
"The scene didn't yield it; it must have been destroyed or taken away by the other party."
Zhuo Feng, having anticipated this, imdiately answered:
"However, I rember the general contents of the list, and we can completely start the investigation all over again."
At this, his tone shifted, invigorated.
"Moreover, this ti, the Smiling Demon, in his intricate planning, made a fatal mistake, Sir."
Luo Lie raised an eyebrow, motioning for him to elaborate:
"Let's hear it."
"Yes."
Zhuo Feng bowed slightly and replied calmly:
"Jia Liang and those three peripheral mbers normally wouldn't et easily given the usual work circumstances."
"Their eting in such a place only leaves two possibilities."
"Either they were eting there to exchange intelligence, or they were lured there together for so reason."
"The latter possibility is evidently minimal."
"If it was the first, it just explains why the Smiling Demon would discover their identities and track them to be silenced."
"That's secondary; the most critical aspect is..."
Zhuo Feng's eyes behind the glasses glead with calculative light, like a hunter who has captured the trail of his prey.
"The three people dispatched by Jia Liang were just street thugs, with low abilities. The targets they investigated were unlikely to be high-ranking officials within the organization."
"With this, the suspicious targets in the list can be massively filtered
out."
"We just need to compare the social backgrounds and connections of the remaining individuals with those officials who attended the operation eting back then, finding the overlap, and the hidden insider will naturally surface."
"Hmm..."
Hearing this, Luo Lie couldn't help but slightly nod.
He expressed his appreciation for Zhuo Feng's ticulous logic and
reasoning.
"With the list extensively narrowed down, I am fully confident that I can trace and find the Smiling Demon's hiding place!"
Zhuo Feng said with overflowing confidence:
"Now, I have a preliminary plan, just waiting for the right opportunity
to bring that insider out..."
At this point, his voice halted.
"Woo-Woo-"
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded unexpectedly.
This alarm resounded throughout the entire building imdiately.
"What's going on?"
Luo Lie's face darkened.
"Soone must have tried to access the security of the experintal
area, triggering the alarm!"
Zhuo Feng imdiately responded.
Both of their expressions changed slightly at the sa ti.
Jia Liang, the person in charge residing at the company, had just been killed, and at night soone secretly sneaks in, attempting to break
into the experintal area.
Is there any chance this is a coincidence?
It must be known that Noah Pharmaceutical's experintal area
houses countless unspeakable secrets.
Especially those classified human experint data, which must not be
leaked.
Luo Lie quickly walked to the desk, picked up the remote control, and
pressed a button.
With a hum, a large projection screen slowly descended from the
opposite wall.
Dozens of surveillance feeds lit up instantly, appearing on the screen
simultaneously.
Corridors, aisles, staircases, everywhere were guards holding
weapons, running swiftly.
They moved quickly, in coordinated formation, with one group advancing toward the experintal zone while another quickly sealed all exits and passageways.
"Rest assured, Minister, Noah Pharmaceutical's security asures are solid as a rock; even if the Special Search Team attacks, we can promptly initiate the self-destruct program to destroy all data." Zhuo Feng explained on the side, also reassuring him.
Luo Lie sneered coldly, his eyes like a hawk's, sweeping through each surveillance feed.
"I'll see who's bold enough to break into my lair."
As he spoke, his fist tightened, and his knuckles crackled with a series
of "pop" sounds.
In his heart, a hint of anticipation erged.
Anticipation for that man wearing the White Evil Ghost Mask to
appear on the surveillance feed.
As long as he dares to show up, tonight will be his end.
However, the imagined person did not appear.
Not to ntion the Smiling Demon, except for those fully ard
guards and security staff, there was not a single idle person visible on the surveillance feeds.
At this ti, no office personnel were likely to stay in the building.
A few minutes later, the alarm ceased and gradually cald.
The entire building returned to order, enveloped in darkness and
silence.
As if the commotion earlier was just a misunderstanding, accidentally triggering the surveillance devices.
Luo Lie's brows knitted tightly into a furrow.
He clearly did not think this was just a misunderstanding.
Listening to the constant communications from the security
personnel.
Zhuo Feng's expression also beca more serious.
"Perhaps... it was a test of our capabilities?"
Luo Lie remained silent for a mont, walked to the floor-to-ceiling
window, and looked at the brilliantly lit city below, speaking to
himself:
"If it was the Smiling Demon, why would he be interested in Noah
Pharmaceutical?
"Could he have tead up with the Special Search Team?"

On the roof terrace of a high building opposite the Noah Group
Building.
Two figures stood side by side in the darkness.
One, tall and muscular, dressed in a black trench coat, with furrowed
brows, looking grave.
The other, also tall, though slightly more slender, had a ghastly white
Evil Ghost Mask on his face.
The night wind howled past, rustling their coat edges.
From afar, a faint sound of sirens wailed.
The man with the white mask, breaking the silence, spoke with a hint
of amusent in his voice.
"Chief Gao, a pleasure to et here."
