Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 279 Mus's Talent

"That's no problem."

Mus nodded, closed the car door, and hailed a taxi.

Sitting in the back of the taxi, Mus looked through the rearview mirror at the department store gradually receding into the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

These are the things that have happened to me these past few days.

It's like opening the door to a new world.

This allowed Mus to understand the unusual side of the world.

Janus came specifically for the hermit.

As a result, Mus got caught up in it and unwittingly boarded the pirate ship.

When the hermit wanted to retaliate, he sent him back to Janus's side as an undercover agent.

On the way back, he happened to run into people from the Countermeasures Bureau investigating Song Jie, and then the Hermit decisively handed himself over to them...

The relationships are so complex that just thinking about them gives you a headache.

Janus sent Mus to find the hermit; if he found him, great; if not, it didn't matter, so he suffered no loss.
Ai Liang plans to use Mu Si to retaliate against Janus from the shadows. Even if Mu Si is exposed, Ai Liang can erase his memory, so he won't suffer any losses.
When Xia Qiyuan arrived, the Countermeasures Bureau was already searching for the whereabouts of the disciples. With no progress made, encountering Mu Si, who worked for the disciples, was like winning the jackpot in a blind box, and there would be no loss whatsoever.

In the end, everyone is doing business that involves no capital and huge profits.

The world where only Mus was injured was thus completed.

The three forces were intertwined, and even with Muslims' experience, he was barely able to hold his own.

If it were someone else, they probably would have collapsed under the pressure from all sides long ago.

Mus took a taxi back to the apartment where he had stayed earlier.

He stared at the numbers flashing above the elevator, muttering to himself, "So, the Countermeasures Bureau will fully cooperate on anything related to the disciples...?"

The hints in Xia Qiyuan's words before parting kept echoing in his mind.

What is it that relates to the disciples?

Weird?

Throat-slitting case?
mask?

Or perhaps the crimes committed by his subordinates are also included?

Mu Si wanted to figure out what aspects Xia Qiyuan meant by "full cooperation," and to what extent that cooperation could be achieved.

Only by understanding these things clearly can he conveniently take advantage of the situation to benefit himself.

"Hmm... let's think about what we can do first."

I'll use the Countermeasures Bureau to get rid of Cat's Eye, so that this guy won't keep thinking about me all the time. Even if he doesn't join the Countermeasures Bureau afterward, it's not a loss to get rid of an enemy.

Then I'll find an opportunity to get rid of Song Jie. That way, I'll be the only one left among Janus's known subordinates, and he shouldn't be able to do anything to me for the time being...

The messenger is the hermit, and since the hermit doesn't care anyway, we can pass this information on to Janus as a reason for a meeting..."

Ding.

The elevator door opens.

Mus stopped muttering to himself and walked out of the elevator with a calm expression.

During the time I took a taxi back.

He already has a general plan for what to do next.

The efficiency is outrageously high.

This is why Ai Liang trusted Mu Si, an ordinary person, to infiltrate Janus's inner circle.

…………

After Mu Si drove away in the taxi, Gao Bin, who was in the driver's seat, finally came to his senses.

"What did you want me to do again... Right, Sense8... Hmm? Where is he?"

Gao Bin turned his head and looked towards the back seat, but did not see Mu Si.

"The person has left."

As usual, Xia Qiyuan used a sticky note to record his upcoming itinerary.

"Huh? No, I just spaced out for a moment, how come..."

Gao Bin suddenly realized something: "Have I been influenced by suggestions again?"

“Yes, while you were distracted, I reached an agreement with the hermit. He and Mus will assist us in dealing with the disciples.”

Xia Qiyuan stared intently at the note in his hand, carefully considering his next move.

"Really? So that means we'll find disciples very soon?"

This is how Gao Bin understands it.

I don't know whether to say he's easygoing and open-minded, or that he lacks a sense of crisis.

This guy is completely indifferent to the fact that others can easily manipulate his consciousness.

Perhaps this is related to Gao Bin's lifelong practice of using extrasensory perception to invade other people's consciousness and memories.

In his view, hints, aside from being a bit troublesome, are not unacceptable.

"What do you take the Apostles for? If they were so easy to find out, are all the intelligence officers in the Countermeasures Bureau incompetent?"

Xia Qiyuan, as always, made a sarcastic remark to Gao Bin.

Gao Bin retorted sullenly, "Yes, yes, they're not useless, but if they were even slightly useful, I wouldn't have to do all this and that with super-sensing every day."

If you were to ask Gao Bin which department of the Countermeasures Bureau he disliked the most, aside from the group of people in the laboratory, it would be...

He disliked the intelligence department the most.

Because of their incompetence, Gao Bin had to run around with Xia Qiyuan every day.

For Gao Bin, anyone who hinders his slacking off is an enemy.

After venting his frustrations, Gao Bin turned to Gao Bin and asked, "Where to next? Go back and rest?"

"Go find someone first."

Xia Qiyuan raised his left arm and connected to the Asia Alliance's database through the armor's internal network.

Soon, Ai Liang's identity information and travel and spending records appeared on the display screen generated by the armor.

"Let's go to this e-sports hotel."

Xia Qiyuan shared the navigation route directly with Gao Bin.

Gao Bin, gripping the steering wheel, sighed. A thin, red, transparent film covered the surface of his right eye.

The navigation route map was projected directly onto the retina.

Without saying a word, Gao Bin started the car and set off.

Xia Qiyuan didn't say what he was going to do at the e-sports hotel, and he wouldn't ask any further questions.

This is the tacit understanding that the two have developed over the past few months.

Xia Qiyuan has always been a cautious and rational person.

Ever since Gao Bin was disemboweled and his memories were violently erased in Nevada City.

Xia Qiyuan no longer proactively revealed the action plan to Gao Bin as before, but instead issued instructions selectively.

Most of the new armor permissions implanted by Gao Bin are also managed by Xia Qiyuan on his behalf.

If it weren't for Gao Bin's irreplaceable superhuman abilities, he might have even applied to his superiors to have Gao Bin imprisoned for two or three years.

Fortunately, someone vouched for him and implanted the modified armor into Gao Bin's body.

In this way, even the Man of a Thousand Faces cannot invade his brain again.

Moreover, if Gao Bin does anything illogical, the armor will respond immediately.

In critical moments, it can also activate a self-discipline mode, forcing the host, Gao Bin, into a state of forced hibernation.

Xia Qiyuan reluctantly agreed, and Gao Bin continued to act with him.

Otherwise, he would rather fight alone than have a mentally unstable person by his side.

Even though they had been partners for several years.

…………

The car moved slowly.

Xia Qiyuan in the back seat didn't urge him on, and Gao Bin was too lazy to drive too fast, so he maintained a steady speed.

Anyway, once we get to the esports hotel, we'll use his super senses again.

Why not take a break now and leave things like driving to the armor's autonomous system?

This system was originally installed to monitor Gao Bin, and also because there were concerns that he might not be able to adapt to the power of the armor.

But ever since Gao Bin discovered this function, he has often used it to do some simple, mechanized work.

For example, miscellaneous tasks such as driving, walking, or writing reports.

I wonder if the people in the lab will be so angry they'll explode if they find out Gao Bin used their meticulously designed system to do these things.
