Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality-Chapter 23

Chapter 23

In the office of the Deputy Director of Homeland Security Operations.

Su Meng’s uncle, Su Bancheng, stood up with a smile and invited Anya to sit in the living room.

Anya shot a glance at Su Bancheng. Without a word, she walked towards the reception room.

Su Bancheng followed closely behind and smiled at Anya, who had found her seat. “Tea or coffee? How about tea? Last month, I just received the latest news…”

Anya interrupted him. “Cut the crap. Has Xiao Jingnan arrived in Feng City?”

Su Bancheng choked and glanced at Anya. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and laughed. He sat across from Anya. “Not yet. But if he finds out that his brother was taken over and killed, I’m afraid he’ll come.”

Anya frowned. “I remember you arranged for someone to follow Liu San.”

Su Bancheng shrugged, leaned against the chair, and nodded. “Yes, we’ve arranged for someone, but you saw the result. Who knew that Xiao Jingtian, who had just been possessed, could kill one of our agents?”

The corpse that Xu Bai and Anya saw lying in the living room in Liu San’s room that day was actually a Homeland Security agent. This was why Homeland Security was the first to receive the news about the case, and subsequently headed over to the 38th Precinct to retrieve the two bodies and the case.

According to the original plan, after Xiao Jingtian possessed Liu San, this Homeland Security agent would immediately subdue him, take him in, and then escort him to the Homeland Security Prison.

‘But…’

Who would have thought that a person who came from the Great Wilderness through possession would have the strength to kill a Level Three Martial?

As Su Bancheng spoke, he nodded honestly.

“This is indeed our mistake.”

“Heh, a mistake.”

“Leader An, you don’t believe me?”

“Yes.”

Anya crossed her arms and looked at the well-dressed Su Bancheng sitting opposite her. When he smiled, he gave off an approachable feeling. She laughed coldly. “You, Su Bancheng, are a genius that your old man calls ‘Natural Dao Child’. Your divination skills are unrivaled. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to sit on the throne of the deputy director of Homeland Security Operations at such a young age. Now you’re saying that this is your mistake?”

Hearing Anya’s words, Su Bancheng shook his head helplessly and spread his hands. “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Anya nodded. “Alright, then explain. According to the rules, there should be two people guarding the target. Why is there only one Xiao Jingtian this time?”

Su Bancheng pursed his lips and cupped his fists. “I’ve already investigated this matter. It was one of the team leaders below who acted on his own accord. I’ve already punished him.”

Anya smiled when she heard that.

‘But…’

The smile this time was different from the cold smile that Xu Bai had given him. It was so much colder.

“My men acted on their own?”

“Yes.”

“Young Master Su, you’re lying to ordinary people. Don’t pull this trick on me. Speaking of which, did you see your ‘Heavenly Fortune Divination’? This time, your niece will appear. So, you took advantage of the situation and let your niece use this opportunity to enter the special team?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Anya frowned at Su Bancheng, who nodded.

Su Bancheng also laughed. “Are you satisfied with this answer? Mengmeng’s physique is a little special. Her innate foundation is incomplete, so she can’t cultivate the divination technique passed down in our family. However, she’s a candidate for the special team. Even I can’t interfere. Coincidentally, I saw this scene with divination, so I made some arrangements. The result is just as I thought. No one is injured. Xiao Jingtian, who was possessed, is now dead. Mengmeng can also join the special team.”

Anya sneered. “No one was hurt. The dead Homeland Security detective—”

Su Bancheng extended a finger, signaling Anya to calm down. He looked up and said to the door, “Roger, come in for a moment.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside. Then, an agent who looked exactly the same as the one who died in Liu San’s living room that day walked in. “Sir, Team Leader An.”

Anya turned to the agent who’d come back from the dead and frowned.

Su Bancheng waved his hand.

Roger nodded and backed out of the room again.

Anya turned around and looked at Su Bancheng with a frown. Tentatively, she asked, “Heaven’s Legacy Puppet?”

Su Bancheng nodded and smiled modestly. “It’s just a small trick. I predicted that Roger would have a death tribulation, so I used this opportunity to help him avoid it. How about it, Team Leader An? My arrangement is pretty good, right? Roger avoided death, and his cultivation speed will increase in the future. Mengmeng will also use this opportunity to enter the special team. All’s well that ends well, right?”

Anya smiled. “Happy, Deputy Director Su. Have you forgotten someone else?”

Su Bancheng took a moment before he spoke. “You’re talking about that Xu Bai, Agent Xu, right?”

Anya looked at Su Bancheng expressionlessly. Her meaning was clear.

Su Bancheng nodded. “That Agent Xu is not bad, but do you know what’s more interesting?”

Anya frowned.

“What?”

“You.”

Su Bancheng adjusted his glasses, and a cold light flashed from left to right. “I admit that Agent Xu is indeed a good junior, but that’s all. What I’m more curious about is that Team Leader An appears to have come today to reproach me for Agent Xu. Is this my imagination?”

Anya’s face was expressionless.

“He’s an agent in the 38th Precinct.”

“Team Leader Zhou, that old fox, should also know about this matter. However, Detective Xu’s master, Team Leader Zhou, did not come to me to reproach me.”

“You think so?”

Anya narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at Su Bancheng. “Then did your divination tell you if Mengmeng will be able to enter the special team if you don’t give an explanation this time?”

Su Bancheng’s expression darkened.

The next second.

Su Bancheng returned to his refined appearance and smiled. “I finally know why Team Leader An’s subordinates are so loyal to you. I also know what Team Leader An wants. Oh right, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”

Anya was a woman of few words. “Shoot.”

“This morning, when I came back, I wanted to see what Agent Xu wanted. I gave it to him when I treated him to a meal, so I managed to gather some information.”

“What?”

“I’m not done yet…”

Su Bancheng stood up, snapped his fingers, and walked toward the door. He took the information Roger handed over. “In the end, through this information, I realized that our Agent Xu is not as simple as we think.”

As he spoke, Su Bancheng smiled and handed the information in his hand to Anya. Anya looked it over.
