201 Military and Police Hospital in the Bay Area.

Luo Yi slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in a hospital bed with an IV drip of nutrients attached to his right hand.

"Hey, you're awake?"

The nurse who had just entered the ward looked delighted and came over to increase the flow rate of the IV drip.

Luo Yi casually asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"After about six hours, have you experienced any discomfort in your body or head? Do you need an X-ray?" the nurse asked earnestly, following instructions from her supervisor.

Luo Yi sat up straight, carefully examined himself, and shook his head, saying, "I don't feel uncomfortable at all, I just suddenly fell into a deep sleep."

"You must have been working for a long time straight, you must be exhausted."

After saying that, the nurse took the medicine and left, saying to the SWAT officer standing guard at the door, "He's awake. Go report."

Luo Yi could hear the noise at the door and guessed that Li Guofeng and the others were coming to inquire about the situation.

He raised his hand to look at the special bracelet, which showed his mental strength as 175. Multiplying it by five would give him his true value, which was 875 mental strength.

"Six hours of deep sleep, and this is all I got?"

Luo Yi got up to pour himself a cup of hot water. Just as he was about to call up the Omniscient System to inquire about the follow-up troubles, he heard a knock on the door.

Thump~ thump~!

"Please come in."

The door opened, and several leaders entered one after another.

Luo Yi recognized the man in the lead; he was the head of the special police team who was leading the group on the shore.

The other men in black jackets were people I was seeing for the first time; they seemed to be of higher rank than the police chief.

"Captain Luo, let me introduce you. These are leaders from Xicheng who have come to visit you." The head of the SWAT team introduced them.

The overweight man in the black jacket chuckled, "Captain Luo, you've worked hard. How are you feeling? Would you like a full-body checkup?"

Several people nearby chimed in, "This is our best hospital; the equipment is very advanced."

Luo Yi immediately guessed their intentions. These people were afraid of offending the National Security Agency and thought that the mission had not been well coordinated.

"I'm fine, I don't need to be checked for now."

Several leaders smiled and praised:

"Your country's special agents are really something! They took down a 20-meter-long crocodile whale just like that!"

"The crocodile whale was eliminated?" Roy asked in surprise.

"Yes, didn't you know? The body was hanging at the stern of the ship, and it should have been sent to the National Security Bureau base by now." The head of the special police and several leaders exchanged glances, all seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

Luo Yi shook his head: "I must have passed out at that time, I didn't see what happened afterward. Did my other teammates wake up?"

The SWAT team leader nodded in realization and replied, "You were the first to wake up. Judging from the position of the motorboat at the time, you were relatively far away and suffered less psychological trauma."

After exchanging pleasantries and words of comfort, the leaders heard that Captain Wu, who had a level 2 physical condition, had woken up, so they rushed over to inquire about the situation.

Everyone believed that the crocodile whale was killed by the two captains.

Roy wanted to lie down, but then felt that doing so was unreasonable and didn't seem like a reaction to knowing that the crocodile whale had been killed.

He immediately picked up the IV drip and went to Captain Wu's ward.

Before even entering the door, I heard the leader offering his condolences with the same lines.

The SWAT team leader then said, "Captain Wu, thank you for eliminating the crocodile whale..."

"What?!" Captain Wu exclaimed in surprise, "You've eliminated the crocodile whale?"

He clearly remembered that the mission had failed. Before he fainted, he saw that everyone else had also fainted, and they had become easy prey, at the mercy of the crocodile whale.

In this situation, not only were people unharmed, but they actually killed the crocodile whale?

Seeing his surprise, the SWAT team leader's expression immediately turned strange. "You didn't know either?"

Captain Wu shook his head frantically, then, as if struck by a thought, looked up in surprise, "Could it be... the other side?"

The SWAT officer was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and shook his head, saying, "You mean we should go closer to the shore first?"

Captain Wu nodded.

"It wasn't that. We saw the whole situation over there through binoculars. It leaped out of the water several times, and the military and police boats behind it started to veer off course. The people in the two speedboats tried to get close and fire, but they were quickly knocked unconscious."

The SWAT officer continued, "When I saw the situation was not right, I immediately ordered backup. Perhaps because there were too many guns and cannons, the crocodile whale quickly disappeared and never called again."

Luo Yi listened as he walked, and upon reaching the door, he pushed it open and rushed inside, saying hurriedly, "Brother Wu, I heard that the crocodile whale is dead. How did you deal with it?"

"I don't know!" Captain Wu looked bewildered, then turned to the other leaders: "Are you sure it was a crocodile whale that died?"

"Yes, it was the crocodile's back. The carcass was over 20 meters long and was hanging on the stern of your boat. It took us a lot of effort to call three cranes to get the carcass ashore," the SWAT team leader said excitedly.

Even now, the thought of the six-story-high carcass of the crocodile whale still terrifies him, especially its crocodile-like hide and teeth, which are truly frightening.

Captain Wu glanced at his special watch and, seeing that his mental strength had almost recovered, casually pulled out the IV drip, sat up, and said, "Where's the body? I'll go take a look."

"They said the blood was poisonous, and it has been handed over to your country's special agency's transport team. It should be delivered to the base now."

Captain Wu reached for his phone, but seeing that there were many people in the ward, he put it away and said, "I'm fine now, I need to return to the National Security Bureau immediately."

After saying that, he went to other wards to call people. Some were already awake, and some were still asleep, but he forcibly woke them up as well.

When the others heard that the crocodile whale had died, they were all shocked and rushed back to the National Security Bureau to find out what had happened.

Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, Luo Yi naturally became anxious as well, pulled out his IV, and followed behind.

……

National Special Bureau Base.

In the Zero Degree Research Institute on the fourth underground level, a creature with a back armor resembling that of a crocodile and a belly resembling that of a whale lay curled up in the center of the hall.

The piece, which is over 20 meters long, couldn't fit in this largest research institute and had to be folded into a semi-circle.

Captain Wu and his group stared blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

"My God! He's really dead!"

"Who did this?!"

"Why is there a wound? It looks like a dagger?"

"When I saw everyone was dizzy, I thought we were going to be slaughtered by the crocodile whale..."

A group of people were discussing it excitedly, standing next to the crocodile whale, touching and looking at it. To be honest, it was the first time that they had ever been so close to a crocodile whale.

After listening to everyone's discussion, Director Li Guofeng's expression was also very strange.

"None of you know??"

Everyone shook their heads.

Captain Wu added, "I was probably the last one to collapse. When I saw that everyone was unconscious, I tried to send a distress signal, but it felt like I was attacked by a gentle mental force, and then I fell into a coma."

"Could it be the person who sent the invitation?" the deputy director speculated.

Captain Wu had suspected this before, but he hadn't mentioned it because there were outsiders present at the hospital. Now, at the State Security Bureau, he spoke without hesitation:

"I also suspect that it's the person behind the invitation."

"At the time, there were only us there, but everyone's mental energy was depleted, and we all passed out."

"The SWAT team is at least 20 kilometers away from our mission location, so they definitely won't be able to find us in a short time."

"Therefore, the most likely culprit is the hacker who sent the invitation!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Even Li Guofeng seemed to be thinking, "So it seems that person really does have a level 3 physique?"

Luo Yi squatted down over the crocodile whale's wound in a very professional manner, took out paper and pen to observe and record the findings, and said:

"But the opponent delivered the fatal blow with a weapon. Did he hide in the water the whole time? Does someone with a level 3 physique have that ability?"

Du Ziteng also said, "That's right. Where did he come from? At that time, we didn't see any other ships on the sea except for our own people, unless he had been hiding in the water the whole time."

The deputy director pondered, "Even if he's a skilled diver, he couldn't possibly predict your location, could he?"

"Could it be that he can control some kind of underwater creature and deliver a fatal blow when the crocodile whale is exhausted, and the wound may not have been caused by the dagger?" Captain Lin, who hadn't said anything yet, said.

His guess sounds quite reasonable.

Luo Yi looked up and asked, "Director Li, aren't there crime scene investigation recorders? Where are their logs?"

"How many traces could be left in the water? Judging from the traces on the boat, the other party must have been on board at least. Only in this way could they have tied the crocodile whale to the stern."

Du Ziteng quickly said, "The rope definitely has fingerprints on it."

"There were no traces, and the result of boarding the ship was also deduced." Li Guofeng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This is the first time I've encountered such a strange thing, with spoils falling from the sky."

The deputy director nodded and said, "There are only two leads we can follow now: the IP address of the invitation and the wound on the crocodile whale."

"Everyone, let's disperse." Seeing that everyone couldn't reach a conclusion, Li Guofeng naturally wouldn't dwell on it. Since there hadn't been any major problems, they could investigate slowly.

"Um... Captain Luo, please stay behind."
