Chapter 31 The Gaze of the Mantis(1/2)

About an hour after a meal.

Boom, boom.

The sound of the cane hitting the wooden board echoed back and forth in the corridor on the second floor of the wooden house.

The old lady bent forward, carefully observing the sleep quality of the children in each room.

Gradually, she walked to the small room at the end of the second floor, deftly poked open the poster paper covering the crack in the door, and leaned in with an old eye to look inside.

Young man lying in bed and falling asleep deeply.

During the past period, the old lady had been observing "Zhou Tiantian" for a long time, and knew that he was one of the rare people who did not snore, but judging from his breathing rate and physical condition, he had indeed fallen asleep.

Afterwards, Mrs. Kong turned around and left. She picked up her crutches and made a very light walking sound when she left.

Wang Jixuan turned over and sensed it carefully.

The old lady left the wooden house and walked around for a few minutes. When she came back, she locked the door and turned on the intruder alarm in the yard.

After doing this, she walked back to the study tremblingly.

Wang Jixuan took out a button-shaped device under his pillow and clicked to activate it. A faint light appeared on the button, and a palm-sized surveillance screen appeared in the center, showing a narrow room.

The shooting angle is a vertical angle directly above.

About two minutes later, a slight noise came from the study.

From the surveillance perspective, the old landlady sat on her wooden chair, slowly turned half a circle, and slid into the secret room with the chair.

The secret door behind her slowly closed, and Wang Jixuan could see a corner of the bookshelf in the study;

This is a secret room embedded in the study, and it was also the first one discovered by Wang Jixuan.

Soft light appeared in the secret room. Mrs. Kong pressed a few buttons. The screen placed diagonally in front of her was lit up, and a spacious conference room appeared inside.

There are seven or eight figures on a conference table, and Mrs. Kong seems to be sitting at the front of the conference table.

Wang Jixuan looked carefully and soon saw an acquaintance among these figures - the silver-haired old man who had turned into a one-eyed dragon, Wen Heisen.

Wen Heisen's neck is still wrapped in a bandage, and he has not fully recovered from the last injury.

Because he could only see images, Wang Jixuan could not sense the opponent's aura, so he could not tell which two were the psychics sent by Thirteen. However, he chose to remember these guys in case he met them later.

Cherish this relationship.

"BOSS."

To the right of Wen Heisen, a burly old man at the front of the screen shouted in a deep voice:

"You should have received the message, that guy is here again.

"His attack this time targeted our lower-level cadres and the cold storage he attacked last time, but this time he entered the cold storage. We are rescuing materials in the cold storage. There are nineteen cadres, one hundred and forty

He killed six horse boys and suffered heavy losses.

"I suggest that you don't care about the power consumption! You must light up everywhere, then set up a bait, hook him in and use a machine gun to sieve him!"

The old landlady said "Yeah": "Are you using your aggravated tone to express your anger?"

"No, BOSS."

The tone of this burly old man suddenly became much gentler.

The old landlady leaned back on her chair, thinking constantly, and asked slowly: "Where are our powerful psychics? Were we unable to track them?"

The last seat at the conference table.

A middle-aged woman and a young man looked at each other. The woman in an elegant dress raised her chin at the man, gesturing for him to speak.

This young man is thin, almost skinny, has a pair of highly myopic glasses on his nose, and is a bit reserved.

"Dear Ms. Mei, we have used different methods, the psychic one and the technological one.

"But this guy is cunning.

"My unique ability is to track scent, but his scent is very light. He seems to have hidden it consciously. His ability is very comprehensive.

"The detection on the technology side is also very troublesome. His equipment this time can actually block thermal imaging and biological information tracking, and our bioradar cannot lock him...Sorry."

The old landlady nodded slowly.

She said slowly: "What surprises me now is that such a psyker is not under the control of your Thirteen Institutes. Were the Thirteen Institute branches in other fortresses instigated by the United Defense Forces to rebel?"

"Impossible, Ms. Rose."

The middle-aged woman with a slender neck, smooth skin and a proud expression said slowly:

"Each branch of the Thirteen Institutes is under the absolute control of the headquarters. There is no doubt about this. Only we can create psykers.

"I'm thinking that this guy might be an experimental product of the United Defense Forces, and they have been trying to crack our technology.

"The insiders we have installed in the Joint Defense Forces have begun investigating and have found no clues for the time being."

"We've run out of time!"

The fourth leader of the Black Fire Gang cursed:

"The purge troops could come down at any time! That damn Interior Minister Zhou Meiying criticized us again at the ministerial meeting, saying that we had lost control and were engaging in organ trafficking outside of the military agreement! In this way, we influenced the powerful people in the upper city! We also obtained undeserved benefits.

Weapons appearing in the lower city!”

The old landlady asked: "Have we done it?"

Boss No. 4 instantly became silent and hesitated: "I did some...a very small part...you know BOSS, this is inevitable after all...many old people in the city are superstitious that replacing organs can help them live a few more years."

Year……"

"So, that's the problem.

The old landlady said calmly:

"I knew about this from the beginning and recorded all the information about your secret transactions with the old people in the city. Do you need me to remind you?

“Clinic Room 12 in Sanatorium 06 on the third floor, and Operating Rooms 3, 6, and 8 in Sanatorium 08.

"You shouldn't reach directly to the upper city. We can't get involved there. Now that they have caught us, we don't even have a chance to argue."

Most of the expressions of the leaders were a bit unnatural.

The old landlady said: "Give me your accounts as soon as possible. I need to compare and verify it to see if there is any way to solve this trouble... If you can't solve it, prepare to molt according to the plan."

The second boss immediately said: "Okay BOSS, I will upload it right away."

Wen Heisen said in a hoarse voice, like metal plates scratching each other: "That guy won't let us go. His strength is better than mine. We need C-level psykers."

"Sorry, Senior Wen, I didn't intend to touch your scar."

The middle-aged woman said calmly:

"But maybe it's because you haven't used your power for too long. We analyzed the existing monitoring data and found that this guy's strength is lower than ours, at least, far inferior to mine."

She waved her hands gently, and black balls danced around her.

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had read in books that this was... a telepathic psyker.

Weak arcs of electricity appeared on those spheres.

The middle-aged woman raised her proud head. Her elegant long skirt and her outstanding appearance showed a strong aura against the backdrop of those suspended black balls.

Wang Jixuan curled his lips slightly.

The old lady of the landlady suddenly said: "That's just the surface of the problem. The core of the problem is that we are now seized by the opposing factions of the 13th Institute. Even without this ghost-like young man, they will knock us out! Do your best.

To prepare for molting, you can give up everything if necessary. We did it once twenty-six years ago, and our team can do it again a second time."

The second leader of the Black Fire Gang asked: "There is no problem with the emergency exit, right?"

"I will be guarding this end of the passage. When you want to come over, I will send you a signal to cancel the access control."

The old landlady warned:

"When you use the passage later, please keep your voice down so as not to disturb my children's sleep."

"Then BOSS, when will we shed our skin?"

"I just want you to be prepared. Don't be anxious. I'll try to see if I can communicate with our ministers first."

The old landlady sighed softly:

"During this period, you can select a few young people who can be cultivated. Remember, this inheritance is the most important. We are all old.

"As for these two respected psykers, please try your best to get rid of the mysterious psyker."

"We will," the middle-aged woman said softly, "Ms. Mei."

The old landlady pressed the button next to the screen, and the screen disappeared.

Then, she slumped in her chair, as if she was exhausted, thinking about something quietly.

About a moment later.

Just as Wang Jixuan was thinking about saving power and was about to turn off the monitor in his hand, Mrs. Kong in the picture made another move.
