Origin Paradise!

The exploration team leader manipulated the data, and the light formed a three-dimensional structural diagram on the large screen.

An Jing said seriously, "Let's see if he's a player."

Upon receiving the order, the analysis room immediately began searching the big data.

Six months ago, the Eastern Region suppressed an ancient mutant in Shanghai and deliberately spread the word that anyone who passed through the marked locations would be recorded.

This process is time-consuming and laborious, but the record greatly enriches the underlying data.

The attention weight increases whenever the recorder is present in the vicinity of other mission locations.

After three times, it's basically equivalent to being a player with their cards on the table.

The interactions of players who are not part of their social network will also be recorded. However, the Bureau of Order will always maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards neutral players to avoid making things worse.

A moment later, the analyst in charge replied, "He is not a player, but he is the killer Spade Ten of the Solitaire Club. In addition, the third suspect in this case has a composite sketch of more than 80% similarity to the player Mo Ke recorded in the shared data of the Southern Region. This data was provided by Nan Jia and the portrait artist. He has evaded most of the surveillance, is different from ordinary people, and even surpasses many mentally specialized players. It will take some time to lock him down."

Dong Bing said, "It might be an adaptive adjustment to disguise appearance. There are group leaders in the central region who have experienced this origin rule."

An Jing ordered, "Activate the drone swarm, equip it with plasma bombs and bunker buster bombs, and bring that assassin back. As for the players, Dong Bing, you go and keep an eye on them. It doesn't matter how he and the card club kill each other, but if they break the rules, just go through the proper procedures immediately."

The head of the analysis room hesitated and said, "Boss An, if the team leaders always carry out these kinds of tasks, it's very likely that they will fall behind the top echelons of players. This phenomenon will become undeniable sooner or later."

An Jing turned to look at him, "You have a solution?"

"No."

"I don't have any either. Leave professional matters to professionals. Until the official order comes from the headquarters strategy office, each group will remain as is. There are some things I can't say, but in the future you can pay attention to mechs, and take some time to learn how to operate excavators or build with blocks."

Dong Bing stood there dumbfounded.

Chapter 34 Villa

The night was dark.

In a high-rise office building, Jiang He picked up a monocular telescope and observed the villa in the distance through the glass. A convoy of cars quickly drove into the gate, and more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits escorted the executive director of Xinwan into the villa for refuge, guarding each "checkpoint".

Rodlev was shot and killed. Due to the public use of heavy weapons, the Bureau of Order issued a lockdown order. News reporters broadcast the news of the killer's arrest live. So far, no organization has come forward to claim responsibility for the incident.

From reaction to implementation, and then to locking down and arresting, the entire operation took only half an hour, and the Bureau of Order clearly maintained a certain unchallengeable order.

Jiang He used hypnosis to change his color and cross the blockade. After Rodlev's death, Felix, the executive director who had a close relationship with him, became his target. At the crime scene, Felix was also shot.

"The organization behind the murderer is at odds with my goals. To recover the mailed letter, the most urgent task is to locate Rodlev's former residence."

In sight, a dark figure emerged from the sewer in the villa garden, swiftly and decisively taking out three outer bodyguards, then using a silenced pistol to kill a sentry, before finally climbing up to the second floor and entering the villa.

Jiang He put away the binoculars and turned to go downstairs.

Five minutes later, he arrived at the villa entrance. Behind the gate lay two corpses, stabbed in the back of the head, completely defenseless.

Jiang He kicked open the gate in front of him, and the internal alarm immediately went off.

Meanwhile, a gunfight broke out inside the villa, the flashes of gunfire briefly illuminating the darkness, accompanied by several agonizing screams.

Jiang He strode forward, his agility of 10 points making him incredibly fast. He leaped off the wall in three steps, his entire body airborne, and before falling, he grabbed the eaves of the second floor with one hand.

He pulled suddenly, his high physique and strength working together to unleash tremendous power, causing him to leap another step, like the legendary lightness skill in martial arts, while his other hand firmly gripped the edge of the window.

After several cycles, Jiang He arrived at the rooftop. Following the sound of gunfire, he found the right spot, took out the Changhen Spear, and thrust it straight down. He used his Ming Jin (a type of internal energy) to propel the 3,000-jin (approximately 1,500 kg) weight, releasing the kinetic energy at the tip of the spear. Suddenly, a large hole appeared in the rooftop.

Jiang He fell freely, and the dark figure fired three shots at the intruder. The bullets flew out of the gun muzzle and hit the abdomen, heart and forehead respectively.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bullets struck someone's upper body, seemingly blocked by invisible armor, producing a clanging sound like metal being struck. The last bullet hit a pure blue energy helmet, causing it to flicker and its color to dim noticeably.

Garuda Mode 1: Localized Enhancement to Withstand a Close-Range Shot.

After Jiang He landed, he stepped forward, creating a whistling sound in the wind, like a long spear thrusting out.

The impact was like a meteor crashing to the ground, swift and powerful, yet incredibly impactful. The shadowy figure remained calm, and facing this strange monster, he decisively removed the two special blinding bullets from his body, threw them forward, and then fired a shot that hit the target precisely.

A burst of bright light and noise erupted, and the dark figure fell to the side.

A wall was smashed down by the brute force of the figure, and dust billowed up.

The shadowy figure rose, gripped the dagger tightly, and stabbed at the back of the enemy's head like a venomous snake, the movement exceptionally swift.

Jiang He countered with a backhand strike to his opponent's wrist, his agility and reaction speed making the attack seem like slow motion to him.

"Crack!"

A powerful strike delivered with immense force, and the shadowy figure's wrist cracked with a clear sound. He then delivered a vicious kick to the enemy's vital point. In close combat, the more despicable the means, the more likely they are to yield surprising results.

Jiang He's expression remained unchanged. With even greater speed, she side-kicked the opponent's inner thigh, causing him to lose his balance. She then rushed into the center of the shadowy figure's body, delivering a jab to his lower abdomen, followed by a swift chop to his cheek. Her other hand, like an iron clamp, gripped his neck, slamming him against the wall. Two fingers pressed firmly against his jaw, leaving him no chance to bite his tongue to regain consciousness.

Three seconds later, the dark figure fainted.

"Hey, hands up!"

As if sensing the end of the battle, two beams of light from gun-mounted flashlights shot out, and Felix and his bodyguard aimed at them together.

Jiang He kicked a piece of broken stone from the wall, hitting Felix, while frantically pressing the Glock 17 that appeared in his inventory.

Knowing his shooting skills were terrible, he simply emptied the magazine, and the bullets left the bodyguard unrecognizable.

"Crack!"

Jiang He stepped forward and kicked the bodyguard, breaking his neck, then dragged the dead-dog-like figure and Felix into the living room.

Felix snapped out of his daze and said angrily, "Oh damn, that was just a joke. You're going too far. These bodyguards are my brothers!"

Jiang He said calmly, "Your tone reminds me of a PhD I met before."

Felix was slightly taken aback by this, thinking the other person was trying to get closer to him. "I feel very comfortable with you too."

"I killed him."

Felix: "..."

Please don't do this!

Jiang He turned on the light, pulled up a chair and sat down. While searching the shadowy figure, he said, "Tell me Rodlev's address."

“No. 114 Jianquan Road, Jingyi District. He’s been living there since he entered the country.” Felix answered quite readily. His motto was “better to die than live alone,” and besides, Rodlev was already dead, so there was nothing to worry about.

Jiang He found a club ten playing card on the shadowy figure.

"What is this."

"Um... it should be the logo of a card club. It seems that Rodlev died at their hands. I'm probably their target."

Felix hesitated for a moment, then continued, "The Card Club is a killer organization in the ordinary sense, with a good reputation. Their pair of aces are always shrouded in mystery. I'm having some trouble in Mexico, and it must be because one of my good brothers offered a high price."

"A professional assassin?"

Jiang He broke the shadowy figure's neck. The hypnosis skill would be much less effective against those with strong wills. Given the mission's time limit, he didn't have time to slowly break down the opponent's defenses.

Felix's face turned pale upon seeing this. He had captured and killed the man; this guy was definitely a bit of a psychopath, but he was indeed very capable in combat.

"Brother, I'm thinking of hiring you to protect my safety."

Jiang He reloaded his pistol and then fired, hitting the other man in the left foot.

"You're a madman!"

Felix clutched his leg in pain.

"Now, you must rely on my protection. Remember to find your place next time."

Jiang He searched the villa. The surrounding gardens suppressed the sounds of their previous fight. He found a large number of firearms and ammunition in the storage room, including a fully equipped HK G28 sniper rifle. It was of excellent performance but very expensive. Because of the experience with Xuanbin Hotel, the rifle had been sealed.

Guns and ammunition were stuffed into the pouch. Jiang He knocked around and found three hidden compartments. He opened one of them and found exquisite porcelain and calligraphy and paintings by famous artists that he could not sell.

"You drive to Rodlev's house."

"Damn it, you hurt my foot!"

"According to you, the fact that you're still alive is enough to prove that we're like brothers."

Jiang He carried Felix to the garage.

Chapter 35 Ten of Diamonds

Jianquan Road is located in a suburban villa area.

Recently, major first-tier cities have begun to build city walls modeled after Bianjing (Kaifeng), and the civil engineering industry has shaken off its decadence and become a hot industry again.

The vehicle moved forward on the highway. Felix treated his wound briefly and drove despite the pain. Being targeted by the card club was not a lucky thing. The Ten of Clubs had wiped out the bodyguard team all by himself. Theoretically, there were fifty-three more such assassins.

As they approached their destination, Felix's phone rang. He answered it with a strange expression and then handed the phone to someone behind him.

Jiang He answered the phone, and a young man's voice came from the other end.

"I am Dong Bing, the team leader of the Bureau of Order."

"Ah."

Dong Bing: "..."

God the hell.

"I'm not reporting to you. My superiors have assigned me to monitor your actions. The Order Bureau has always maintained a mild attitude towards neutral players. You only need to follow three points to ignore us and continue to complete the game missions. However, there is one thing worth stating: any seemingly concealed disguise is actually just wishful thinking. In the end, everything depends on whether it is worth investing resources in."

"The extraordinary is an exception."

"That's right, but this is a clash between the old and the new era."

Dong Bing's voice rang out again: "First: Innocent civilians must not be harmed. Second: The existence of supernatural beings must be concealed. Third: The public use of heavy weapons or the instigation of malignant evolution of supernatural beings is prohibited. As a bonus, the assassin who fired the shot, codenamed Spade Ten, committed suicide a few minutes ago. In fact, a stable order is also beneficial to you, me, and even the entire player community..."

"We'll talk about it later."

Dong Bing: "..."

Dude, you really think you're a leader.

After Jiang He finished his perfunctory reply and hung up the phone, his attention was entirely on the villa not far away. He remembered the information he had obtained from the Xuanbin Hotel: Rodlev had chosen to leave his hometown because he was frustrated with his career and had turned from a professor into an arms dealer. Xinwan Group was his first business deal, so theoretically he shouldn't be living in a villa area, even if it was just in the suburbs.

The call from Dong Bing of the Order Bureau further increased the likelihood of an upcoming battle.

"Park the car on the side of the road."

Upon hearing this, Felix turned the steering wheel and asked suspiciously, "You're not planning to leave me here, are you? The card club is going to kill me."

"I can only wish you good luck."

Jiang He dropped a pistol and walked towards the Roderov villa.

"What a tragedy," Felix sighed, staggering as he followed behind the other man.

……

The Villa Rodelev.

The three-story underground space resembles a large library, with the ceiling completely open.

The blond youth who had attended the party earlier sat in the main seat, frowning as he looked at the action report.

"The Ten of Spades was hunted down by the Bureau of Order, so his death is understandable. But why is the Ten of Clubs also in trouble? Is I, the Ten of Hearts, next? You bunch of useless trash, do you think this is a poker game? Play one card at a time!"

The dozen or so peripheral members were on tenterhooks. Each time the Poker Killer operated, they would be accompanied by an observer. However, because the Spade Ten was surrounded by the Bureau of Order's drones at the factory base, the subsequent Club Ten lost trust in their own intelligence system.

At the same time, the surveillance cameras surrounding the villa went black. Some of these cameras were military recordings from the sentries, and the anomaly indicated that the base was under security threat.

The blond youth immediately became alert and pulled an assault rifle from his equipment box.

"Come with me, something's happened."

……

Half an hour after getting off the bus, we arrived at the villa garden.

A sentry with a gun concealed on his waist fell backward, blood gushing from his throat. After a violent struggle, he went into hemorrhagic shock and was about to suffocate due to blood blocking his trachea.

Jiang He put away the tactical dagger he had obtained from the storeroom, and his own color gradually darkened, perfectly blending into the night.

Two minutes later, the blond youth arrived with his team. The dozen or so peripheral members were well-trained, with their guns aimed at the curtains, rooftops, doorways, bushes, and other locations to provide early warning fire.

The peripheral member, who also served as an emergency physician, stepped forward to examine the wound. His expression changed slightly. He inserted his finger into the wound to stop the bleeding, then used forceps from the first-aid kit to ligate the wound, inserted a rubber tube to suction out the foreign object from the mouth, and then turned to say:

"He can still be saved; we need to prepare for surgery immediately."

The blond youth fired a shot, blowing the wounded man's forehead open.
