Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 257 - 252: Why Do You Like Using Snake Metaphors So Much?

Chapter 257: Chapter 252: Why Do You Like Using Snake Metaphors So Much?

Special Ability Team?

Ji Ning slightly frowned.

The Special Ability Team is a superpower group directly under the Huazhou Alliance, divided by colors.

Huang Ying was originally a member of the Yellow Group.

"Where did you see it?" Ji Ning didn’t find any superpower user wearing a mask inside the police station.

"No mask, and injected with a suppressive drug, looks just like a normal person."

"Injected with suppressive drug?"

"Yes, superpower users wanting to disguise as normal people will inject a certain amount of suppressive drug to conceal their superpower fluctuations. It’s the same ingredients as in your suppression ring, the difference is the dosage."

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "How did you figure it out?"

"The walking posture and ear shape. After entering the Special Ability Team, we all go through retraining, starting with body shape, letting us completely abandon all past habits and become a replica stranger. Although they try hard to look like normal people, insiders can spot the difference at a glance. Additionally, the upper edge of their ears are pressed down, which comes from wearing masks long-term..."

As long as superpower users don’t use their powers and have injected the suppressive agent, they are basically the same as normal people. Only someone like Huang Ying, who has personally experienced it, can spot the differences, otherwise Ji Ning would have detected these hidden superpower users among normal people long ago.

Ji Ning nodded slightly, showing she had learned something.

One has to admit that people’s thinking now is really different from the past.

"Can you change into their appearance?" Ji Ning asked.

Huang Ying thought for a moment, then nodded.

The two spoke for a while longer, and then Xiao Kong came out from the restaurant.

Looking a bit nervous, he sent the information he received to Ji Ning for viewing.

"This is from my former colleague, who just sent me a message."

Ji Ning glanced at it, seeing a lot of concern being expressed, but underlying the message was probing into his relationship with Ye Tong, wondering if it was the Beijing Security Bureau investigating.

Xiao Kong’s complexion was not good, feeling he might have messed up Ji Ning’s affairs.

"Leader..."

"No worries. Stirring the grass to scare the snake is sometimes necessary, hitting the snake at its vital point."

Xiao Kong saw Ji Ning seemed quite satisfied with the situation, breathed a sigh of relief, but wondered why his leader liked using snake metaphors?

"Have your former colleagues ever seen their real faces?"

Xiao Kong shook his head, "No, the situation here is quite severe, all detectives basically don’t show their faces, I can only identify them by voice and body shape."

Gunan County is very close to Nanling, and they are frequently sent to Nanling for missions, making it extremely dangerous.

Thus, the level of secrecy regarding their identities is much higher than in other regions.

"Reply to him saying you’ll return tomorrow. Don’t mention anything else."

"Okay."

Xiao Kong immediately lowered his head to reply to the message, Ji Ning glanced at Huang Ying, who nodded slightly.

As Xiao Kong raised his head again, his phone almost dropped to the ground in surprise.

In front of him was someone who looked exactly like him, except for the clothes being different, the face was identical.

"This... this is..."

"Hello," Huang Ying said lightly.

Xiao Kong was astonished: "Miss Huang...?"

"Mm."

At first, he thought Huang Ying was really Ye Tong’s assistant, not expecting her to be a superpower user too.

And with such a special ability.

Her superpower was exactly what the intelligence department would love.

The leader really was surrounded by hidden talents.

Xiao Kong was overjoyed, but also a bit worried.

Pleasure came from the fact that the more capable the leader, the more benefit for subordinates, but worry came from being surrounded by so many talents, feeling his chicken-rib superpower wouldn’t stand out and worrying about being gradually marginalized.

No, he decided he must work harder.

He must not be eliminated!

Xiao Kong silently vowed.

"You proceed with your usual travel tomorrow, Huang Ying will go home in your place."

Thinking of his parents at home, Xiao Kong gratefully thanked Huang Ying, "Thank you."

Huang Ying nodded slightly.

After eating, Xiao Kong and Huang Ying switched identities in the restroom, even swapping clothes in the men’s room.

Huang Ying, wearing Xiao Kong’s face, went home with Ah Ying.

Meanwhile, Xiao Kong stayed behind to cover his identity and returned to the hotel with Ji Ning and Ye Tong.

At night, Xiao Kong, disguised as Huang Ying, drove off and did not return to the hotel.

Far away in Beijing, Lin Yuanyang was in charge of switching their digital information, creating the illusion that Huang Ying left early, and by the following morning, Xiao Kong’s flight information suddenly appeared in the airline system, having already erased traces of Ji Ning and Xiao Kong’s prior flight information.

Even if anyone wanted to investigate, it would take time.

And within that time, they completed their investigation.

"Sister Ning, will people really come to catch me tonight?" Ye Tong wasn’t worried about her safety, in fact, she seemed a bit excited.

Ji Ning gave her a side-eye, "The best situation is they try to kidnap you, the worst is if someone wants to silence you permanently."

Ye Tong shivered and suddenly became anxious, "Then... should I have a weapon?"

She thought of the gun Ji Ning had.

But Ji Ning only handed her a palm-sized folding knife.

"Can you still use it?"

Ye Tong nodded, quietly tucking the folding knife into the back of her belt.

Meanwhile.

In a certain hidden room.

Four people wearing silver masks gathered for a meeting.

"Boss, news from Nanling, asking us to ensure the person is brought back, but it’s very risky, easily catching attention."

"But people from Beijing are arriving tomorrow, we need to act quickly and bring the person back."

"I suggest just killing, eliminating any problem."

Three of them expressed their views and turned to look at the silent boss.

After a while, their boss finally gave the order: "They will send people to assist us, take the person first, if discovered, eliminate without mercy."

"Understood."

The three had solemn expressions.

The temperature in Gunan County wasn’t cold; even in the midst of winter, it remained warm as spring.

Green trees were everywhere, flowers in full bloom.

Gunan County was lively at night, with numerous small food streets, flashing red signs and neon lights.

Ye Tong’s hotel faced a night market, from the window it was a lively view.

Ye Tong opened the window, took a deep breath of the fragrance outside, and said to Ji Ning, "Living here is a torture. The spicy smell makes my stomach growl."

Ji Ning was half-lying on another bed, watching the room’s only TV with a dozen stations, "Wanna go out to eat?"

Ye Tong shook her head quickly, "No way, there’s a mission tonight."

But Ji Ning sat up from the bed, turned off the TV, "Let’s go, take a stroll."

"Huh?" Ye Tong looked at her in surprise.

Weren’t they waiting to catch the ones after her?

Ji Ning glanced at her watch, "It’s too early, they won’t come yet."

Ye Tong sighed in relief, quickly got up, and changed clothes.

Ji Ning’s lips curled slightly, withdrawing her spiritual power covering the entire hotel.

Finally, they arrived...

The people coming to capture Ye Tong had arrived at the hotel.

A group of six, although disguised as ordinary people, the faces of two of them had appeared in the police station, matching perfectly with the faces Huang Ying had transformed into.

Ji Ning’s gaze gradually turned cold...
