One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 968 The Listening Center, Collective Strength

Wen Jingquan brushed the dust off his hands, leaving no evidence and no surveillance equipment.

At Quanxing, there are no procedures and no evidence is required.

The members of Quanxing Sect do not care about their own identity, nor do they have any sense of collective honor.

They have even less understanding of the importance of secrecy.

If Wen Jingquan were to explain to them that Yuan Shixiao was an undercover agent for Na Du Tong and show them this evidence, it would only make things worse.

It would be better to simply use the power of the acting leader of Quanxing to assign Yuan Shixiao a task that she finds extremely annoying, and then have other Quanxing members who are dissatisfied with Yuan Shixiao deal with her.

I'm sure that mustachioed guy from last time would be happy to lend a hand!
Wen Jingquan smiled and said, "Master Xiao, perhaps our next meeting will be quite interesting."

His laughter was swept away by the wind, and his figure disappeared in the golden light.

······
As the light faded, Yuan Shixiao's figure appeared in the center of the light.

"Please wait and remain still. The instrument is currently performing a test."

Before Yuan Shixiao could even get a clear look at his surroundings, an electronic alert sounded.

Yuan Shixiao's pupils contracted, and after his eyes adjusted to the incandescent light, he realized that he had found himself in a very futuristic laboratory.

The entire laboratory was devoid of anything superfluous; the walls were stark white, and the ceiling was covered with monitors, as well as those 'light bulbs' on the walls that Yuan Shixiao couldn't understand, which projected light.
Those 'light bulbs' also emitted a buzzing electromagnetic sound, and the green rays they projected scanned Yuan Shixiao's entire body.

Yuan Shixiao felt as if he were standing inside an X-ray machine at the entrance of a high-speed rail station or airport, with every inch of his muscles and bones being seen through.

"That's disgusting."

Without trying to hide it from anyone, Yuan Shixiao covered his chest and blurted it out.

The sound was normal, but in the quiet observation room where you could hear a pin drop, it still sounded deafening.

However, the well-trained monitors at NaDuTong did not give her any response.

After three quiet minutes, a hidden steel door was moved away from the wall to Yuan Shixiao's right.

That initial synthesized female voice served as a reminder once again:

"Comrade Number Sixteen, please enter the disinfection room. The toxins such as Gu worms can be washed away inside!"

Yuan Shixiao said listlessly, "It can also clean up what you consider toxin location and monitoring equipment here."

What was originally Yuan Shixiao's sarcastic remark, expressing his dissatisfaction, unexpectedly received a response. The synthesized female voice replied:
"You're overthinking it. The disinfection room doesn't serve that purpose."

Yuan Shixiao was taken aback, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Then, the synthesized female voice said, "Even when you were in the isolation room, any possible tracking or listening devices on you had already been removed."

"Humph~"

Yuan Shi snorted coldly, and with an expression of 'I knew it,' walked into the disinfection room.

This is a closed passage, only one square meter wide and three meters high.

As soon as Yuan Shixiao entered, the door to the isolation room closed immediately, turning the disinfection room into a sealed space. Sprayers on the ceiling began spraying gases that Yuan Shixiao did not recognize, and the entire disinfection room was illuminated with ultraviolet light.

After a full three minutes of disinfection, Yuan Shixiao emerged from the disinfection room, grumbling and cursing. He felt like a perfectly clean corpse who had just stepped out of formaldehyde. "Not bad, looks pretty energetic!"

As soon as Yuan Shixiao came out, he saw the old man who had been tricked into becoming an undercover agent for Na Du Tong.

Huang Boren, Director of Nadutong

Huang Boren was primarily responsible for the research on the hidden bunker and the management of various undercover agents and temporary workers. In theory, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and other undercover agents were all under his jurisdiction.

Later, however, Na Du Tong became a formal department with established staffing and expanded power. The underground bunker system, which Huang Boren was in charge of, was also separated from Na Du Tong and incorporated into the Academy of Sciences.

It's unreasonable to allow a military department to both enforce the law and produce and research weapons on its own.

Now, if Huang Boren wants to enter the bunker, he needs a formal application or an invitation from a bunker with special functions.

Yuan Shixiao was very unhappy about being manipulated like a test subject in a laboratory, and his tone was also very harsh when he spoke to Huang Boren:
"Hey! What kind of lousy place is this?"

Huang Boren handed Yuan Shixiao a bottle of mineral water with the label torn off: "Have some water to soothe your throat. I should have offered you a cup of tea, but my office isn't here anymore, so I can only offer you water."

"I borrowed a conference room from the monitoring center. Let me hear your intelligence first."

Yuan Shixiao forcefully snatched the water and gulped it down like a cow.

Huang Boren sighed: "You really need to change your bad temper, girl. This is the bunker's listening center."

"That was the standard procedure for using the positioning jade token to return to the monitoring center. Not to mention me, even Chairman Zhao would have to go through this procedure after using the positioning jade token."

"It's not directed at you."

Along the way, Yuan Shixiao didn't see many landmarks. Apart from the different room numbers, it felt like she was walking through a long, endless, and repetitive corridor.

"The listening center, a place that can teleport people, why is it named like that?"

Huang Boren shook his head and spun his words, showing off his knowledge: "A listening center, as the name suggests, is a place for listening in."

"Most of the owners of the location jade tokens are not proficient in escape techniques. They need to be drawn to the listening center by a magic expert using the listening center's magical artifacts."

"And to move people over in a timely manner, we need monitoring personnel at the monitoring center."

Huang Boren remarked with emotion, "These young men who are doing the listening work are not superhumans, but they are responsible for the most crucial part of the listening center."

"They act as the ears and eyes of the monitoring center, working three shifts a day, 24 hours a day, to listen to all signals in order to capture the signals emitted by the positioning jade pendant as soon as possible and transmit them away."

"As an undercover agent of Quanxing, you should understand the principle that every second counts in saving a life."

At this point, Huang Boren slightly raised his chin, his face full of pride: "It can be said that as long as you are anywhere in the country, the monitoring center can bring you back at any time."

Yuan Shixiao was silent for a while before speaking with a complicated expression: "Na Du Tong is already capable of doing this kind of thing."

Huang Boren said, "This is the power of the masses! Extraordinary people are strong, but ordinary people are wise!"

Yuan Shixiao was impressed by Na Du Tong's profound knowledge, but Huang Boren did not reveal the most core secrets of the listening center.

In fact, the establishment of the Dark Fortress Listening Center is inextricably linked to the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor.

It can be said that it was the initial sharing by the Emperor of Fengdu in the Northern Yin that gave Nadutong the underlying knowledge to build a hidden fortress and a listening center.
