You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The obsidian doors closed silently behind Lin Chen, shutting out all the gazes in the arena that were a mixture of shock and awe.

The space behind the door opened up dramatically, its style completely different from the chaotic luxury outside.

This place is more like a minimalist, futuristic interrogation room, with cold metal walls, soft yet shadowless lighting, and a faint smell of ozone in the air.

In the center of the room, there was a long black table with a chair at each end.

The gaunt old man in the Tang suit did not follow them in. He simply led Lin Chen in respectfully and then left, as if his task was complete.

At the other end of the table, someone was already sitting.

A man, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, was wearing a well-tailored Italian handmade suit, with a Patek Philippe Sky Tourbillon peeking out from his wrist.

He wasn't wearing a mask; his face was handsome, with a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were like a snake's—cold and devoid of any warmth.

The sin value above his head was the highest Lin Chen had ever seen since entering this black market.

【98500】

A number so bright red it was almost purple.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, unnoticed by anyone.

This man is Prajna's top agent, codenamed "Viper".

"Mr. Lone Wolf, please have a seat."

The snake's voice was gentle, like that of a polite gentleman.

Lin Chen pulled out a chair, sat down with an air of authority, placed the unlit cigar on the table, and stared directly into the eyes of the viper with the sinister gaze of his scarred face.

"Are you the owner here?"

Lin Chen asked in his hoarse voice, full of impatience.

"I am not the boss; I am just the boss's spokesperson."

The viper smiled and took out a silver metal headband from under the table, which was connected to complex electrodes and circuitry.

That thing looked more sophisticated than the most advanced electroencephalogram (EEG) machine in the hospital.

"The Lone Wolf Brothers' divine skill in breaking the deadlock has truly broadened my horizons."

The viper's tone remained gentle, but the scrutiny in his eyes grew increasingly intense.

"However, our 'Court' has always had very strict rules, and we never recruit friends of unknown origin, especially... cops."

He gently pushed the metal headband in front of Lin Chen.

"This is our latest brainwave emotion detector, which directly reads the microcurrent changes in the prefrontal cortex and is 100 times more accurate than any lie detector on the market."

"Any lie, even a subconscious impulse to deceive, will leave a trace on the waveform graph."

The snake's smile turned playful.

"Put it on and answer a few questions for me."

"This is just a routine membership process, I hope Brother Lone Wolf won't mind."

This is the final test.

It is also the most dangerous hurdle.

No matter how flawless Lin Chen's fabricated identity may be, his true identity remains that of a police officer, and his hatred for evil is etched into his soul.

With such sophisticated instruments, any disguise can be detected instantly.

However, the hideous scar on Lin Chen's face seemed to twitch, revealing an extremely contemptuous expression.

Without saying a word, he picked up the headband and put it on his head without hesitation.

The cold electrodes were placed on my temples and forehead, and I felt a faint electric current.

[God-level Micro-expression Control], activated!

No, this time, Lin Chen mobilized more than just the control of his facial muscles.

With the help of the [God-level Gene Enhancement Fluid] and a physique ten times stronger than that of ordinary people, his control over his own nervous system has reached an unbelievable level!

He can actively regulate his heart rate, control the secretion of adrenaline, and even, to some extent, interfere with the electrical signal activity of his cerebral cortex!

The venomous snake looked at Lin Chen's decisive action and a hint of approval flashed in its eyes.

He opened the monitoring interface on the tablet computer beside him, and on the screen, a curve representing Lin Chen's brainwave activity began to move steadily.

"The first question."

The snake's voice turned serious.

"Your name, your origin."

"Code name: Lone Wolf".

"A former member of the 2nd French Foreign Legion skirmisher regiment, he was wanted by a military court for massacring civilians while on duty in Mali and has been in exile ever since."

Lin Chen spoke in a factual, emotionless tone.

On the screen, the curve was as smooth as a straight line, without any abnormal fluctuations.

The viper raised an eyebrow.

"My second question is, how many people have you killed?"

"I don't remember."

"The number of people killed on the battlefield and those killed later for money is probably in the hundreds."

Lin Chen's tone was even somewhat bored, as if he were talking about what he had eaten that day.

The curve remains as smooth as water.

Viper's breathing quickened slightly as he stared intently at the screen and asked the most crucial question.

What is your opinion of the police?

This is a trap.

Anyone who holds a positive or neutral attitude toward the police will experience a subconscious spike in the area of ​​their brain responsible for "sense of justice" and "social identity," which cannot be suppressed by willpower.

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh, a laugh filled with contempt and hatred that came from the bottom of his heart.

"A bunch of dogs with legal licenses, yet more hypocritical and troublesome than us outlaws."

"I have at least seven cops' lives on my hands. Three of them, I shoved their badges down their throats and watched them suffocate."

As he said these words, his mind was filled with memories of the innocent girls who were harmed at Jin Di International, Jiang Tingxue who almost died in the forensic room, and the students at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School who were tormented by infrasound.

Overwhelming hatred and murderous intent materialized in his mind!

These intense emotions were perfectly transformed into brainwave signals!

On the screen, the once smooth curve suddenly experienced a sharp fluctuation!

But that fluctuating pattern was precisely labeled in the lie detector's database as—extreme hatred and violent tendencies!

This is exactly the reaction you'd expect from an international Class A criminal with police blood on his hands!

As Viper looked at the “perfect” waveform of hatred on the screen, the last trace of doubt on his face vanished completely.

He slapped his thigh, turned off the lie detector, and burst into laughter.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, stood up, and personally removed the headband from Lin Chen.

"Brother Lone Wolf, I was overthinking it! How could someone like you be the kind of cop you're after!"

His smile became incredibly sincere and fervent.

"Welcome to the 'Courtroom'! From now on, you are one of us!"

Viper patted Lin Chen's shoulder enthusiastically, lowered his voice, and spoke in a tone filled with supreme honor.

"Lord Prajna greatly admires you."

"He will personally meet you at the 'Skynet Base' tomorrow night."

"We have a massive operation that could upend the entire city of Jiangcheng, and we need a valiant general like you!"

On Lin Chen's face, beneath the scar, the corner of his mouth curled into a chilling smile that went unnoticed in the shadows.

Skynet Base.

Prajna.

The fish are finally about to emerge from the water.
