"A-Tie".

A deep, steady voice came from the other end.

"Sir!"

Tiezi straightened his back on the spot, his words full of respect.

"The Rhodes Island people just left, and the questions they asked were the same as you expected."

Tiezi paused for a moment, then continued.

"But the woman who came to make contact must have sensed something too. She asked you if you had any relationship with the Rat King."

"You told her."

"Yes, I said yes, but I didn't say what it was, just like what you told me before."

"That's enough, Atie. Thank you for your hard work."

The man's tone remained unchanged, but his words contained more praise.

"There's only one more year until it's been six years. You've worked so hard these past few years."

"Sir, three years later, then another three years. When will I be able to return to the Guard Bureau?"

Tiezi gave a wry smile.

"I heard the bureau has changed its appearance, but I haven't been able to go back to see it."

"Once things have calmed down, I will arrange for you to change your identity."

"That's what the man over there said."

"Just focus on doing your own thing. I won't say anything more; you know what's important."

"Thank you, sir!"

Tiezi saluted again.

The man on the other end gave a soft "hmm".

"Well, let's go."

"Yes!"

He then hung up the phone and put the communicator into the hidden door.

After closing the hidden door in the wall, Tiezi picked up the kettle on the table and put away the two water glasses.

He opened the hidden door where Doberman had left and pushed open the trash can.

After cleaning up the traces of his presence, Tiezi tossed the kettle and cup into the trash can and then pushed the trash can back into its original position.

He was wrapped in a coat, head down, and left via another route.

212. The Lungmen Crisis!

At the same time that Dobermann left the safe house, Nearl also got to meet the senior inspector of the Lungmen Guard Bureau.

"Hello, I am a senior inspector of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. You can call me Officer Chan or Sir Chan."

Chen entered the reception room and extended his right hand to Lin Guang, who had stood up at the same time.

"Are you a Radiant Knight from Kazimierz? Welcome to Lungmen. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Before Lin Guang could even speak, Chen had already revealed her entire background. Her expression remained unchanged, but she was already starting to think.

The fact that Chen was able to tell her her name and background on their first meeting shows that the Guard Bureau has a habit of collecting intelligence and conducting investigations. This is understandable, as they are the first line of defense for Lungmen and wouldn't be unprepared.

"I'm here today only for some personal matters, and..."

Lin Guang didn't say it explicitly, but left it unsaid.

Chen immediately understood. She turned around, closed the door, and went to the spot in front of Lin Guang, extending her hand to him.

"Sit down, let's talk slowly."

Lin Guang nodded and sat down again.

She wasn't wearing knight's armor today, just a casual white jacket and black jeans.

After sitting down, Lin Guang gathered her thoughts and then slowly began to speak.

"Officer Chen, there are some things I'd like to confirm with you. Has the number of infected people in Lungmen suddenly increased recently? And are there frequent cases of armed clashes?"

"Yes."

Chen was not surprised by this. Since Lin Guang came with a purpose, she would definitely have done her research beforehand.

"The number of brawls in the slums this week is three times higher than usual, and it is indeed not very safe. Our Guard Bureau also advises citizens to stay home as much as possible during this period and to prioritize their safety."

Chen nodded, speaking in an official tone to Lin Guang, but in reality, he was also waiting to see what Lin Guang would say next.

As expected, Nearl paused for a moment before speaking.

"I wonder if Officer Chen is aware of the Reunion Movement?"

"of course."

Chen nodded.

"It's a group of terrorists composed of infected individuals. They just attacked Chernobog a few days ago, causing Chernobog to fall. Does the Radiant Knight believe that Lungmen faces the same threat?"

Lin Guang shook his head.

It wasn't until she entered Lungmen that she understood the biggest difference between Lungmen and Chernobog.

Although Chernobog is a mobile city-state of Ursus, it cannot compare to Lungmen in terms of defense and security.

Longmen is not only located on the border of Yan Kingdom, but it is also like a gateway to the Great Yan Kingdom, and a gateway reinforced with countless anti-theft iron blocks.

At the same time, as a rare trading center on the entire continent of Terra, the circulation of LMD is largely due to the prosperity of LMD itself.

Given such prosperity, there must be corresponding protective forces.

With the Reunion Movement's manpower, taking down the entire Lungmen is nothing short of a pipe dream.

However, there are always unexpected events.

"I don't think Lungmen will be taken down."

Lin Guang said.

"After all, Lungmen and Chernobog are not on the same level of importance. What I'm worried about are other issues."

"Oh? Please go ahead."

Chen raised an eyebrow, signaling Lin Guang to continue.

Nearl took out her Rhodes Island employee card, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Chen.

Chen picked it up and glanced at it, clearly seeing the Rhodes Island logo on the card.

"Rhodes Island? Miss Radiant Knight is now working for Rhodes Island?"

"I have established a cooperative relationship with Rhodes Island and am now working as an external operator for Rhodes Island, providing armed protection and other services. My codename is Nearl."

Lin Guang then formally introduced his identity.

"Some time ago, when Rhodes Island was carrying out a mission in Chernobog, it happened to be the scene of the Reunion Movement's attack on Chernobog. Coincidentally, I was also on the scene as an operative and personally experienced that event."

Upon hearing Lin Guang's words, Chen immediately sat up straight and nodded.

Lin Guang continued.

“Rhodes Island not only provides medical care, but also protects those innocent infected individuals. Therefore, the use of force is necessary. After all, you can't guarantee the safety of the current doctors, and they also need to be able to protect themselves.”

"I agree."

Chen nodded and asked.

"But what does this have to do with Lungmen? Although Chernobog and Lungmen are not far apart, the Reunion Movement just ended its occupation of Chernobog. Why would they turn their attention to Lungmen so quickly?"

Chen shook her head, answering her own question.

I don't think so.

Everything Chen considered was from Longmen's perspective.

Indeed, the Reunion Movement currently appears to be a resistance organization composed of infected individuals, despite Chen's labeling of it as a terrorist organization. However, everyone is aware of just how dire the living conditions are for the infected.

These poor people should have a better life, not be like the Ursus war machine, obsessed with outward expansion.

"But we received information that a high-ranking member of the Reunion Movement had started planning three days ago to infiltrate Lungmen. Their goal is probably to find something."

Lin Guang said in a calm tone.

"Furthermore, I think Lungmen's entry and exit records must have been quite unusual recently, right? After all, with so many infected people entering the country, it's impossible that they wouldn't have been detected during the statistics process."

Chen Fang clenched his fist on his lap, but a smile remained impassive on his face.

She really isn't good at keeping secrets, and Lin Guang was right about that.

Over the past week, the entry and exit records in Longmen have indeed shown a strange pattern, with the number of people entering the country steadily increasing. However, there has been no significant increase in the number of staff and stranded individuals in the city.

There is only one explanation: the number of people in the slums is rising, and there are many more stranded in Lungmen without hotel rooms or residence permits.

"Miss Lin Guang, what insightful opinion do you have?"

Chen glanced down at the table; she wanted to have a sip of Longjing tea.

Lin Guang shook her head and said.

"It's not exactly some brilliant insight. What I'm saying are decisions made by Rhodes Island's leadership. Dr. Kal'tsit's task for me was simply to convey this information and hopefully get a response from the Lungmen Guard."

“Rhodes Island has no prejudice against the Reunion Movement. But we also don’t want to see the conflict between the infected and normal people become more irreconcilable, and we hope Officer Chen can realize this.”

"The Reunion Movement must have planned this against Lungmen long ago, and this is intelligence we learned through special channels."

"Finally, I have some information for you. Early the day before yesterday, the morning after the Reunion Movement captured Chernobog, the core area of ​​Chernobog had already detached from the main city and is currently under the control of the Reunion Movement's leader. And..."
