Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 92 Dinner Party
The ringing of the electronic alarm broke the silence, and the sky outside the window had quietly darkened.

The neon lights are colorful and dazzling, like the most brilliant galaxy in the night sky. The light and shadow are interwoven into flowing paintings, becoming the main color of this city that never sleeps.

Li Nanke slowly woke up from his deep drunken dream, feeling a splitting headache and exhaustion all over his body, but the restlessness in his heart had subsided a lot.

He no longer suppressed the extraordinary strength of his body, and as his strong body functions recovered, his headache and fatigue quickly disappeared.

Li Nanke opened the window. The city night is always so charming. The streets are bustling under the neon lights, and hovercrafts are speeding by. Everything seems vibrant and full of energy.

Taking a deep breath of the cool air, he felt a little more sober, and could also sense that the imbalance in his rationality was only a temporary retreat, like the ebb and flow of the tide, and it wouldn't be long before it would sweep over again.

"Alcohol and sleep only treat the symptoms, not the root cause..." He muttered to himself, pondered for a long time, and finally took out his communicator and dialed a number.

The other person's name is Lina, and she is a member of the medical team of the logistics department.

Li Nanke got to know a lot of people in the logistics department and the intelligence department. As an intern who had just arrived, he always liked to make more friends.

"Hey, Lina, I need to trouble you with something. Do you know any psychiatric healers who can use flying knives?"

A young female voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Of course, Researcher Li, but it's more expensive to take private jobs. If your family member has any mental problems, you can try to apply to the Control Bureau, maybe you can get free medical treatment."

"He's a friend who's a civilian superhuman. He's been a little bothered by that aspect lately, and needs a medical practitioner who keeps his mouth shut. Do you understand what I mean?"

For some reason, Li Nanke did not want his risk of getting lost to be discovered by the research team and Director Frank.

"There are civilian extraordinary people who may be lost... Well, let me help you contact a medical practitioner. I guarantee he will be experienced and won't talk nonsense. Wait for my news, and we can discuss the cost."

"Thank you very much."

After hanging up the phone, Li Nanke transferred a thank-you fee. Although Lina would definitely take a commission from this kind of private work introduction, one thing is for another.

Apart from necessary investigations, the Control Bureau does not monitor the lives of every internal staff on a daily basis.

Li Nanke knew this very well, so he was not worried that his action of asking Lina to help find a doctor would attract attention. As long as it did not involve serious violations or potential security threats, the control bureau generally would not ask about these private matters.

Lina did not accept the money, but just sent a red lip emoji and wrote: If you want to thank me, just buy me a drink this weekend, Mr. Lee
Oh, I want to maintain a pure friendship with you, but you want to be a superficial friend with me.

Li Nanke glanced at the time, then got up and went out to attend the research team's dinner.

The research team booked a dinner at a high-end hotel, booking the entire top-floor revolving restaurant.

Li Nanke didn't know whether the funding of the Control Bureau was too sufficient or the family behind Director Frank was too rich.

But I think it should be the latter, because this hotel with hundreds of floors belongs to the Wistaria family.

There were several long dining tables in the spacious hall, covered with exquisite white tablecloths, and silverware and high-heeled wine glasses were placed on them. Each chair was tied with an exquisite ribbon, and the dining table was decorated with several bouquets of flowers and small candlesticks.

There was a small stage on one side of the restaurant and a band was playing soft music.

The melodious music added a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere to the dinner. Next to the stage was a row of high tables filled with a variety of food and drinks, including exquisite cakes, desserts, and a variety of cocktails and wines.

The members of the research team entered one after another, with a total of 67 people. They were no longer wearing standard research uniforms, but formal dresses, the men in suits and the women in gorgeous evening gowns. Mr. Frank had a serious face and wore a well-tailored black suit, which made him look particularly solemn.

When Jiang Lei saw Li Nanke coming in, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiao Li, you don't know that the director heard that the forbidden object had hidden properties, so he rushed directly to the laboratory and stayed there for the entire afternoon."

"what's the result?"

Jiang Lei continued, "Of course there is no problem. After personal verification by the director, it is confirmed that the hidden feature you discovered is completely correct. The director has already reported the feature to the department. After the department approves it, our team will receive a reward, especially you, Xiao Li."

"Can you reward me with some more pheromones?" Li Nanke said half-jokingly.

Jiang Lei couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Do you think pheromones are cabbage? The director just rewarded you with pheromones. To improve your extraordinary power, you have to do it step by step. You can't become fat in one go."

"Besides, we are researchers and don't need to participate in combat. Supernatural powers are used to assist in research. It's enough to be sufficient. There's no need to take the risk of absorbing so much pheromone to force a promotion.

"After all, research requires more wisdom and patience."

For some reason, Li Nanke felt that Jiang Lei seemed a little sour when he mentioned pheromones.

He nodded in agreement: "Brother Jiang is right. This time, I was able to discover the hidden characteristics, which actually relied more on theoretical knowledge and experimental skills rather than extraordinary power itself."

Jiang Lei was speechless and couldn't help punching him: "If you keep talking nonsense to me, I'll pay for you next time we go to the night club."

As he spoke, he leaned in and whispered, "I heard the director mean to give you a promotion."

Li Nanke raised his eyebrows: "So fast?"

Counting on his fingers, he had only been in the Control Bureau for a dozen days. It was rare for him to be promoted so quickly.

However, it is even more rare to crack the characteristics of two forbidden objects within a dozen days, so it is reasonable to make an exception and promote his position.

Jiang Lei said very casually: "You are from the Universal Department, which makes you different from ordinary researchers like us. Maybe you can enter the Apocalypse Council and become a big shot in the future."

"Apocalypse Council...Brother Jiang, I am from the Universal Department. I can only shine in the field of research and have no potential for extraordinary promotion. How can I become a top extraordinary person?"

Li Nanke smiled and shook his head. In order to continue to obtain pheromones, he hid safely in the control bureau under the identity of a researcher.

The extraordinary power he currently controls is far from enough to allow him to break free from the shackles of the real world and walk freely and openly in the sun.

Perhaps only when he controls enough power, becomes a top transcendent, and becomes the real person in power, will he be qualified to trample on this corrupt world.

Before Jiang Lei could say something, he saw Director Frank waving at Li Nanke in the distance.

Next to Director Frank stood a young blond woman.

She wore a black evening gown, the tight design perfectly outlined her slender neck, slim waist and graceful curves. The low neckline of the dress just showed her white collarbone and seductive cleavage, adding a bit of sexy charm.

Jiang Lei poked Li Nanke with his elbow calmly and said, "Xiao Li, that is the eldest daughter of the Wistaria family."

"The wealth is coming, go quickly."
