"Now, we’re just eting each other for the first ti; we haven’t revealed our cards yet. The ga has just begun."
"Jia Sangyi is right."
Luo Lie spoke up, supporting his old friend, and shifted his gaze to Zhuo Feng:
"This accidental discovery proves our suspicion is correct. The internal spy is among those twenty-four people and is indeed using this hard-to-defend ntal communication thod to contact outside forces."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Feng’s spirits rose, and his face showed pride.
This brilliant plan to capture the internal spy was crafted by him personally.
Concentrating all suspicious targets inside the building, keeping them under scrutiny, and isolating all contact with the outside world, creating a closed room effect.
As ti progresses, pressure continuously builds up, making both the internal spy and external enemies unable to endure, eventually revealing their flaws.
"The minister is wise!"
Zhuo Feng then restrained his expression, responding respectfully:
"White Owl is extrely arrogant. After being silent for so many days under our pursuit, he must be feeling anxious."
"He needs to co out for so relief, using the internal spy to confirm our moves and whether we have grasped his whereabouts. This test is proof."
"That fish is not White Owl."
Jia Sangyi suddenly spoke, contradicting Zhuo Feng’s judgnt.
"What?"
Zhuo Feng frowned and asked, "If it’s not White Owl, who else could it be?"
"I’ve seen White Owl’s files, this Murderer’s ntal world should be full of chaotic madness and a desire for slaughter, like boiling magma in Hell."
Jia Sangyi slowly stood up, stretching his stiff limbs, and said calmly:
"Just now, that consciousness was calm and pure, like tempered steel."
"Like an observer in a high position, not a lunatic enjoying slaughter. These are two completely different ntal traits."
"Furthermore, his spiritual power intensity is on par with mine."
Jia Sangyi added, a spark of excitent flashing in his eyes:
"I never expected to encounter such a similar opponent by coming to East Capital. What a pleasant surprise!"
Feng Jincai listened, stupefied, and could only echo from the side:
"Yes, yes, the master is right."
Zhuo Feng’s expression, however, turned a bit grim.
An unexpected variable had erged in the plan.
He frowned, pondering:
"If it’s not White Owl, it ans besides him, there is definitely another force we don’t understand, eying us, likely the mysterious person who tried to infiltrate the experintal area that night."
"Isn’t that just perfect?"
Luo Lie sneered, confidence to control everything gleaming in his eyes:
"Whether it’s White Owl or this mysterious force, their goal is the sa, seeking trouble with our Noah Organization."
"In that case, let’s cast more ’bait,’ luring them all out and capturing them in one sweep."
As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on Jia Sangyi.
"What do you need from us to drag out both the fish and the internal spy?"
Jia Sangyi turned around, looking at Luo Lie, finally showing a hint of mutual respect in his eyes.
"It’s simple; I need a ’focus’."
He extended a finger, speaking with an eerie calm:
"Currently, my Spiritual Network is sufficient to cover the entire building, but my spiritual power is relatively dispersed."
"I need you to create a fitting excuse to gather all suspects together."
"By then, everyone’s ntal fluctuations will converge, and the internal spy attempting to contact the outside and the infiltrating consciousness behind him will be like torches in the dark, unmistakable."
"Once I successfully lock onto that Spiritual Ability User, capturing the internal spy and even their hiding place will be child’s play."
"You an...?"
Zhuo Feng pondered briefly and imdiately understood:
"After gathering the suspects, we can deliberately leak ’secrets,’ forcing the internal spy and outside forces to take the risk for a deep communication?"
"Exactly."
Jia Sangyi smiled faintly, his words intentionally ambiguous:
"You can announce an important eting at a specific ti, concerning so core secret they absolutely cannot ignore, and completely destroy the secret after the eting ends."
"This way, no matter who the internal spy is, they must transfer this ’final intelligence’ in due ti, and outside forces must seize this last chance."
"It’s a plan that kills two birds with one stone."
Luo Lie summarized, his eyes sharp as blades.
"Even if the internal spy isn’t revealed, this internal review will suffice to make White Owl and that mysterious force hiding in the shadows paranoid, unable to resist, hence making more aggressive moves, setting the stage for our snake-out-of-hole approach, trapping the turtle in the jar."
"The minister is wise!"
Feng Jincai heard these words and promptly offered his praise.
Zhuo Feng was slightly displeased with Jia Sangyi’s arrogance, but he highly approved of the plan itself.
Compared to the advanced version of his initial plan, it was more ruthless, direct, and effective.
"Very good."
Jia Sangyi nodded in satisfaction:
"I’ve been monitoring for eight hours straight, and my spiritual power is greatly depleted; I need deep ditation to recover."
"The plan can be carried out after I wake up."
He walked to the CD player, took out the storm sound disc, and replaced it with a new one.
Soon, ethereal gentle music replaced the previous white noise, as if issuing an eviction order.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Luo Lie nodded and then turned to instruct his two subordinates:
"Let’s go, don’t disturb the master’s rest."
The three of them exited the room, and the heavy door closed again.
Walking down the brightly lit hallway, the oppressive atmosphere from the room gradually dissipated.
"Minister, should we proceed as Master Jia Sangyi instructed?"
Zhuo Feng asked.
"Proceed."
Luo Lie replied succinctly:
"You are in charge of arranging this matter. Tomorrow morning, ’unintentionally’ leak the information to everyone under isolated scrutiny. Rember, make it look real."
"Yes."
Zhuo Feng accepted the order but then showed a hint of concern:
"Just, Minister... if the plan succeeds and White Owl along with that mysterious force are really drawn in, forcibly intruding into the building, there will inevitably be a fierce battle."
"How should we handle the Special Search Team then?"
Luo Lie stopped walking, turned to look at him, and revealed a aningful smile on his face.
"Zhuo Feng, why do you think the city’s search conducted by the Special Search Team suddenly stopped these past few days?"
Zhuo Feng was stunned, and his eyes flashed with understanding:
"You an..."
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
Luo Lie’s voice was deep and magnetic:
"We’ve already made a small compromise with them. Station Chief Feng has been authorized to share part of the initial experintal data on ’Life Evolution’ with them."
"They can only choose to temporarily turn a blind eye as a return for such temptations."
Feng Jincai wiped the sweat from his forehead on one side and added:
"Yes, the high-ups have already tacitly agreed that as long as we don’t cause large-scale disturbances and don’t embarrass them publicly, they won’t interfere with anything."
"So, now our only enemies are White Owl and those few rats hidden in the shadows."
Luo Lie made a gripping motion in the air, his five fingers tightening as if crushing sothing.
"We must seize this opportunity, act ruthless, decisive, quick, and thoroughly eliminate the internal traitors and external enemies!"
"Yes!"
Zhuo Feng responded confidently and somberly.
At this point, Feng Jincai hesitated a bit, stepped forward quietly, and asked:
"Minister, what about that ’thing’ in the laboratory’s third area?"
"Now that the battlefield is set inside the building, if the fight gets out of control and that thing gets exposed... I’m afraid even if the high-ups of the Special Search Team reach an agreent, they won’t be able to resist intervening."
Luo Lie’s face instantly darkened.
Zhuo Feng looked puzzled, not knowing what exactly they were talking about.
Yet he wisely kept silent, not asking more questions, noticing Luo Lie’s eyes showed a hint of dread that even he found alarming when ntioning "third area."
"Pause all related experintal projects except for the daily ’cleaning’ tasks."
Luo Lie contemplated for a mont and coldly replied:
"Deploy double manpower, seal off all passages to the third area, strictly forbid anyone from approaching, violators will be killed without rcy!"
"Yes!"
Feng Jincai promptly nodded but couldn’t help cautiously asking:
"Then... what about later, Minister? This thing has been in East Capital all along, like a bomb that could explode at any mont. I can’t help but feel anxious day and night."
"I’ll arrange for headquarters personnel to secretly transport it away once this storm passes."
Luo Lie impatiently waved his hand, ending the discussion.
He strode forward, his gaze passing through the corridor’s end security door, casting towards the building’s deeper, darker areas.
There, as if sothing was flickering with an inhuman glow in the darkness.
