The Strongest Outcast

Chapter 65 I Had No Choice

[Mission Objective: Cover up the truth and eliminate the target's influence.]

[Mission Objective: Wu Xiangyou, male, 16 years old, who caused serious injuries to multiple staff members, has escaped from the bunker and, after several moves, is currently hiding somewhere in Qiancheng, Jiangxi Province.]

[Note: This target is an individual with innate supernatural abilities, whose power is close to telekinesis, stronger than ordinary telekinesis, and can slightly influence others. They possess extreme ideologies and are extremely dangerous...]

He can be killed.

……

Based on his status as a temporary worker

Liu Xiaojiang had no choice but to accept the company's superiors' assignment to personally clean up the mess left by those guys in the Dark Fortress. However, after reviewing the target information provided by the Dark Fortress, he wasn't in a rush to go down the mountain to deal with the target.

after all,

After escaping the bunker, the target of this mission did not seem to have much impact on society, and there were no abnormalities in local news in Jiangxi, indicating that although the target's ideology was rather extreme, it was far from being irrational.

in addition,

The Luo Tian Grand Ritual is about to begin.

As a disciple of the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion, he needed a reasonable explanation for leaving the mountain without cause; it was simply impossible for him to disappear from the mountain so easily.

Therefore,

Even though Liu Xiaojiang accepted the company's instructions, he still showed up on the mountain as usual. It wasn't until it got dark that he hesitantly arrived at the old master's residence.

"Uncle-Master".

"Xiao Jiang, come in."

"Yes."

……

Midnight,

A street in Qiancheng, Jiangxi Province

Liu Xiaojiang neatly tied her hair into a ponytail, wearing the black tracksuit she had worn before going up the mountain. Holding her cell phone, which she used to contact Erzhuang, she seemed to be casually searching for something.

Simultaneously,

Looking at the investigation results that Erzhuang had just sent on his phone screen, and after carefully learning about the target's past experiences, his mood began to grow heavier.

Wu Xiangyou grew up in the Qiancheng Orphanage in Jiangxi Province. He is a warm-hearted person with excellent grades. Whenever he finishes his schoolwork, he always helps take care of the other children in the orphanage. In everyone's eyes, he is a good child who is flawless.

However, on his thirteenth birthday, he encountered a major change in his life.

The orphanage was forcibly demolished at noon. The director was crushed to death by a falling beam while trying to protect the children. Even so, most of the children were still killed or injured.

The reason for the incident was that the construction team received news that the personnel had already evacuated and began construction according to normal procedures.

At last,

The orphanage received reasonable compensation, moved from its former location, and everything seemed to be gradually getting back on track.

but,

Suddenly one day,

A boy who was only thirteen years old at the time broke into the real estate company that was developing the orphanage. Using superpowers that you only see on TV, he forced his way to the project manager's office and mercilessly nailed him to a beam in the ceiling...

From then onwards,

There was one more child in the bunker who needed care, and doctors tried their best to guide the child's mind every day, until recently another incident occurred...

Brother Jiang, what are you planning to do...?

After carefully investigating the whole story as Liu Xiaojiang requested, Erzhuang was now clearly frightened by the past of the target of this mission, to the point that he was completely unable to decide how to face the child.

Upon hearing this,

Liu Xiaojiang stopped, looked up at the moon, and said calmly, "Erzhuang, today is this child's sixteenth birthday. Investigate the former location of that orphanage."

"Afterwards, if we can see him in person, and if possible, we will take him back to the bunker to continue his psychological treatment."

However, for three whole years, he hasn't been able to let go of everything from the past and continue his treatment...

Does it really work?

This time,

Liu Xiaojiang did not speak.

……

About two hours later,

Following the location marked on Erzhuang's phone, Liu Xiaojiang arrived at a street with European-style architecture and found himself in an alley connecting two buildings.

We've finally found the objective for this mission.

at this time,

Wu Xiangyou was still wearing the clothes provided by the fortress, sitting on the ground covered in dust and looking completely bewildered. Even when he saw Liu Xiaojiang walking from the alley entrance, he simply looked up and did not react excessively.

Upon arriving at the mission objective,

Liu Xiaojiang stared at Wu Xiangyou in silence for a long time before slowly saying, "Let's go, come back with me."

Wu Xiangyou raised his dusty face and looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a puzzled expression, "Big brother, are you also an extraordinary person?"

"Yes."

Liu Xiaojiang did not deny this. He reached out and took off his sunglasses, saying, "Besides, I am still an employee of the company. My task this time is to take you back."

"I'm not going back!" Wu Xiangyou became agitated upon hearing this. "You're bad people! You're bad people! Bad people!"

"Okay." Seeing that Wu Xiangyou was somewhat agitated, Liu Xiaojiang immediately placed his hands in front of him. "You don't have to go back, but... have you thought about where you should go next?"

"We can't keep wandering around like this forever, can we?"

Wu Xiangyou was slightly taken aback, but then stubbornly insisted, "I don't know, but... I definitely won't go back!"

See here,

Liu Xiaojiang didn't continue trying to persuade the other party to return to the fortress. Instead, he looked up at the sky thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "Alright, then we won't go back. But since big brother has already come all this way..."

You can't let your older brother go back and not be able to explain himself, can you?

"What...what do you want to do?" Wu Xiangyou looked at Liu Xiaojiang nervously, who didn't seem as extreme as the Dark Fortress had described.

"rest assured."

Liu Xiaojiang smiled and said, "Big brother can't do anything, he just wants to know why you ran away?"

the other side,

Wu Xiangyou noticed that Liu Xiaojiang showed no hostility. Although he wondered why Liu Xiaojiang wasn't like the others in the company, he still spoke up and explained his reasons.

"I...I don't want to stay there forever. I don't have the chance to work for the company like Sister Duo'er. If...if I could, I would like to see my teachers and the headmistress again..."

I really miss them.

[Little Jiang, this... (bursts into tears)]

Liu Xiaojiang ignored Erzhuang, though he was genuinely uncomfortable. But he still smiled and said, "I see. Since you just miss your teacher and the headmistress, why don't you ask someone else in the company?"

Why bother escaping?

"They say the teacher and the headmistress are dead! But I don't believe it!" Wu Xiangyou argued. "I've always wanted to come out and see the headmistress! But whenever we talk about it, they always tell me to go to sleep!"

I can't help it!

"So...did you find Grandma Dean?"

"not yet……"

"If, big brother, I mean if, you find out that the headmistress and the others are really dead..."

what will you do?"

"I...I want to avenge my mother-in-law and the others! Then I'll go see them!"

Chapter 66 Fulfilling Duties

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaojiang finally understood Wu Xiangyou's thoughts and why the person in charge of the Dark Fortress had issued the elimination order.

The child clearly has psychological problems, which have not been cured for three whole years. Instead, he has been repeatedly restrained by the staff of the bunker.

At this time,

If Wu Xiangyou were to confirm the fact that the dean and others were dead, his already escapist mentality would definitely collapse.

By then,

Things are a little better.

He might, like before, approach the real estate company responsible for developing the orphanage again, if things don't go well...

Anything is uncertain.

what is this?

Was there collective negligence on the part of the bunker's staff?

Or was it due to the personal negligence of the person in charge?

Row!

It works!

You don't seem to mind that this child didn't receive a cure because of your negligence!

On the contrary, I'm afraid this child will run out and kill someone!

If only I had known!

You guys really took the containment seriously and were very responsible after you took it in!

Eliminate the target?
