MTL - The System is Four Years Ahead of Schedule, But Weird is Still a Cub

 Chapter 120 Emergency Meeting

An explosion occurred when the inspector was inspecting the Level 2 "Two Heads and Four Arms" corpse, and then the corpse ignited black sly flames.

 Fortunately, the three testing personnel were all only slightly injured. After being sent to the medical department, Deng Yuqi ordered people to seal off the testing department.

When Shen Ge and others returned to the Special Policy Department with the wreckage of "Xu", Li Xiangzheng and people from the Technical Department applied to Deng Yuqi to enter the Testing Department.

 “Shen Tan.”

 “Shen Tan.”

 Some technical personnel noticed Shen Ge walking towards this side carrying a large **** leather bag and immediately shouted to him.

Deng Yuqi and Li Xiang also looked over. Li Xiang's attention was immediately attracted when they saw the **** leather bag carried by singer Shen.

“Old Shen, is this... weird?” Li Xiang looked at the blood-skin bag and asked.

Shen Ge threw the blood-skin bag to the ground: "This blood-skin bag is the transformation of the blood-red arms grown by those people. The bones inside should be the backbone members of that organization. The risk factor is not much lower than the previous corpse, and I suspect he’s not dead yet.”

"Oh? Then we need to study it carefully!" Li Xiang was not surprised when he heard this, but his interest increased greatly, and he immediately forgot about the corpse in the examination room.

Deng Yuqi immediately raised his hand to hold Li Xiang down, preventing him from taking the bloodskin bag: "Wait! Have you forgotten what just happened in the detection department? Shen Ge, please contain this thing according to the third level weird standards first, and wait for observation and confirmation. After it’s safe, the technical department will take over.”

“Minister, this is a great research opportunity. If you miss it...” Li Xiang wanted to say something else, but Shen Ge said to Deng Yuqi:

“I’m afraid the level 3 weird containment standard is not enough. It is recommended to handle it according to the highest containment level our branch can currently achieve.”

Deng Yuqi frowned when he heard this. The current "theoretical containment level" of the Rong City branch is between level 4 and level 5, but it is only a "theory". After all, there are no living level 4 weirdos for them to test.

However, starting from the first level of containment, every time you go up to one level, the consumption of energy and resources is extremely huge. The consumption of level 4 weird containment can even be equal to all the low-level weirdness in the entire Rong City branch added up every day. total consumption.

“Is it really that troublesome?” Deng Yuqi asked.

Although the combat effectiveness of "Xu" did not show the strength that level 5 should have, and was not even as good as the damage and impact of level 4's weird "non-existence", Shen Ge did not dare to take it lightly even if the system gave a rating four years later.

 “Yes.” Shen Ge nodded seriously.

Deng Yuqi believed Shen Ge's judgment, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Let the technical staff follow up and carry out containment according to Level 5 standards. The containment level is Level 4, and be prepared for Level 5 containment. Send people to monitor around the clock, If there is a problem with the data, immediately improve the effectiveness of the containment device according to Level 5 standards."

"yes!"

"yes!"

As soon as Deng Yuqi finished speaking, the technical personnel responsible for the containment immediately stepped forward to assist Shen Ge in containing him.

After Shen Ge's detention, Li Xiang had already "lived" in the underground holding room. If the holding room had not been blocked by special explosion-proof glass, he would have even wanted to be locked up with "Xu" directly.

"Did I really guess it right? This guy and the guy above are both using the parasitic weirdness of the 'Weird Car' to cause mutations in the human body?" Li Xiang grabbed Shen Ge who was about to leave, excitedly asked.

Shen Ge nodded: "According to these people, they come from an organization called the Twelve Branches, and their members are all 'artificial weirdos' who conduct human experiments. Judging from the few I have met so far, they can all be seen from their clothes. The commander took action, but it’s unclear whether it was the effect of the treacherous equipment or his own effect.”

“Tsk, tsk, it’s a pity that the minister won’t let me conduct research now. Otherwise, if I do a few experiments to verify it, I will know whether it is a weird equipment or a human body.” Li Xiang said with regret.

Shen Ge said: "You'd better be careful. When I confronted these people today, they seemed to know your situation and were very interested in you."

“If they allow me to slice and study it, then it’s okay to let me join.” Li Xiang said with bright eyes.

Shen Ge said: "I told you that it's best not to let the minister hear what you said, otherwise you won't even think about the technical department in the future. Oh, I have to send a few teams of people to keep an eye on you."

“It doesn’t matter, anyway, I live in the technology department now.” Li Xiang said with an indifferent expression.

　　　…”

 Shen Ge was usually the one chatting to death, and the only one who could leave him speechless was probably Li Xiang.

Li Xiang stayed in the underground holding room to observe "Xu", while Shen Ge returned to the detection department, attached a full-body armor and entered the building to assist Lin Yin in the investigation.

As soon as he entered the testing room, Shen Ge saw a big white bear lying next to the research table. He took a pair of "small tweezers", which were actually large tool clips, and marked the detector for corpses and unknown objects with strange powers. Collect them.

"Tan Shen, you're here." Lin Yin, who was wearing a white protective suit, turned around when he heard the movement behind him. When he saw it was Shen Ge, he said hello.

It's just that she was holding a containment bag in one hand, "small tweezers" in the other hand, and a small occult energy detector hanging around her neck, which looked weird.

Shen Ge asked: "Has anyone mentioned...that you wear protective clothing like a Hulkbuster armor?"

“Isn’t he handsome?” Lin Yin asked, making a muscular gesture.

 “He is quite handsome.”

 As handsome as a bear.

  Shen Ge could see weak treacherous energy, and with his assistance, the "recycling" work became much easier.

After collecting the bones of the second-level weird "two heads and four arms", for the sake of safety, Deng Yuqi asked everyone to contain them according to the third-level weird standards. After confirming the safety, the technical department will take over.

 It was already early in the morning to complete these tasks, but this strange incident involved a "mysterious organization" with an unknown purpose, as well as human experimentation and artificial strange issues, so an emergency meeting had to be held.

No matter how much Shen Ge hates meetings, as the "top leader" of the Operations Department, he naturally cannot miss such meetings.

After the top management of the Rong City branch, four counter-terrorism agents, and the heads of various departments arrived, Xiao Zhang and Cheng Shengnan, assistants to Deng Yuqi, first distributed information and gave the report on tonight's operation and the information currently available to everyone present. Everyone was given a copy.

 Next, according to the previous process, Xiao Zhang should explain the information first, and then everyone will discuss and arrange according to the situation.

I don’t know whether Cheng Shengnan’s “business ability” is too strong or for other reasons, but she was actually responsible for the explanation this time.

“The first thing you see is the footage captured by three cameras at the door of Detective Shen’s home. When the target arrived at his door, it took less than a minute to find the hidden location of the three pinhole cameras.”

“These pictures show the target person finding the camera from the flowerpot to the time he took chewing gum and stuck it on the lens. It can be seen that the other party does not care whether his appearance is exposed.”

"This recording is a restored recording of the target person communicating with others through a Bluetooth headset. We found the headset in the remains of the corpse's head, and the recording was only partially restored."

“The target person entered Tan Shen’s home. There was only a brief scene captured by the smart lock, but through the sound recorded by the video equipment at the door, we were able to hear some content after repairing it.”

“…The target person encountered traps one after another at Detective Shen’s home.”

 Cheng Shengnan stood next to the screen. When he said this, he looked at Shen Ge with a subtle expression like everyone else in the conference room.

Shen Ge said with a serious expression: "As a senior agent of a special department, it is reasonable to design a few small traps in your own home to prevent spies from breaking in, right?"

 …That’s reasonable, your sister!

Everyone couldn't help but shout in their hearts, which agent would plant a bomb at home? If it weren't for your special status, you would be a spy!

Deng Yuqi sighed: "Please forgive me, Tan Tan suffers from a very serious persecution delusion. I knew this before he joined the special strategy department. Cheng Zhu, please continue."

 Cheng Shengnan did not dwell on this topic and continued to switch the content on the screen to talk about the situation in tonight's operation.

Until Shen Ge and "Xu" from the Twelve Branches confronted each other in the underground parking lot, the information about the conversation between the two was conveyed to Deng Yuqi through the communicator.

“Currently, this mysterious organization called ‘Twelve Branches’ is directly related to the attack on Bangguo’s welcome party and the people who snatched the strange corpse in Nanhu Community.”

“These people are uniformly dressed in black sweatshirts, and the time related to the ‘Twelve Earthly Branches’ is embroidered with red thread on the hood.”

"The person who was shot dead by Detective Shen was named 'Xu', and the member who came to the rescue was named 'Hai'. According to Detective Shen's recollection, in the Bangguo incident and the Nanhu incident, the attackers appeared between 10 and 11 o'clock, so initially It is suspected that member 'Si' did it."

"This is a member who was killed in the bombing at Tan Shen's house. The red font embroidered on the hood is 'engraved'. According to the 'Twelve Earthly Branches' as the time, the engraving is the number of 'hours' subdivided, which should be the number of the organization. Grassroots personnel, or preliminary members of the Twelve Branches.”

 “It can be seen that the twelve branches are not just twelve people.”

Deng Yuqi said solemnly: "This organization is extremely mysterious. We didn't have any relevant information before. Judging from the recording of the conversation between Detective Shen and Xu, they are very interested in Detective Shen and Director Li, and are trying to win them over. . In addition, they are suspected of having information on the reasons for the strange appearance."

As Deng Yuqi added his words, Cheng Shengnan turned the screen. In addition to the picture of Xu's corpse, there was also a sentence on the screen:

"Why can all living things on the earth be alienated, but not humans?" Deng Yuqi said: "This is a question raised by 'Xu' when wooing Shen Tan, and it is also what our researchers from the Special Policy Department have been studying for the past ten years. Question, I believe this may be the key to answering 'Where does weirdness come from?' And these twelve branches are likely to find the answer from it, so they can complete the fusion of humans and weirdness and turn into artificial weirdness."

"Wait, Minister, I have a question." At this time, Director Zhang from the technical department stood up and asked: "From the information fed back by Shen Tan, these people's **** hands and black hands are all sticking out from their clothes. Not cuffs. So how can we be sure that this is a weird ability and not weird equipment?"

“Yes, if that piece of clothing is a piece of equipment with treacherous energy, would that make sense?” Section Chief Chen said, looking at the report in his hand.

He was an experiencer of the tragedy of human experimentation at the headquarters that year. He saw with his own eyes that the soldiers who voluntarily participated in the experiment were devoured by the rampaging strangeness and turned into flesh and blood monsters.

Deng Yuqi turned her head and looked at Cheng Shengnan and said: "Cheng Assistant, call up Director Li's latest research report. Director Li, please answer the questions of everyone here personally."

 Cheng Shengnan tapped a few times on the computer, and the screen changed to Li Xiang’s research report on strange cars and parasitic weirdness.

Li Xiang stood up reluctantly. He felt that wasting time in a meeting here, he might as well seize the time to study the two corpses.

But Deng Yuqi spoke, he could only obediently tell everyone what he and Shen Ge had discussed about "strange cars" and "parasitic weirdness".

When Li Xiang heard about the strange red blood tumors that appeared on parasites and the blood tumors on the members of the "Twelve Branches", and suspected that the headquarters' plan might not have been stopped, Chen Ke was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed: "Asshole ! You are all **** bastards! Aren’t the lessons learned back then profound enough? How many soldiers and researchers died in that disaster, and they actually carried out this plan secretly! "

Deng Yuqi quickly advised: "Chen Ke, don't get excited. We only have preliminary suspicions at the moment, and according to Tan Shen's suggestion, I submitted this matter to the senior management of the headquarters. Judging from the feedback from the headquarters and the reactions of these people, I think they Most likely unaware.”

"Whether they know it or not, if these data are spread out and used by criminals, that is their responsibility!" Chen Ke said angrily.

However, this meeting was obviously not about whether the headquarters was a freeloader. Chen Ke cursed a few times and stopped his anger, and proposed to unite the divisions to investigate the "Twelve Branches."

At this time, a cadre from the Rong City branch suddenly asked: "Since the 'Twelve Branches' are very interested in Tan Shen and Director Li, do you think... is it possible to stage a show of 'Infernal Affairs' to make Shen Tan pretend to surrender?" , carry a tracking device on your body, wouldn’t it be possible to catch them all?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was discussing. Shen Ge's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he seemed to be very interested in this "Infernal Affairs" plan.

 Cheng Shengnan adjusted his glasses and clicked on his notebook. The screen again switched back to the doorway of Shen Ge's home and the three pinhole cameras.

"The pinhole cameras hidden outside Shen's home are produced by three of the world's top military-grade companies. One of them is a military factory connected with the United States. This kind of camera is usually installed on unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and has strong reflection. The reconnaissance function is of a level that even money can’t buy.”

“But even an anti-reconnaissance device of this level can be found by the grassroots personnel of the Twelve Branch within one minute. Therefore, to implement Director Zhao’s plan, at least a more advanced tracking device than this must be equipped.”

Section Chief Zhao, who proposed the "Infernal Affairs" plan, immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this. As a senior executive of the Special Strategy Department, he happened to be in charge of tracking technology. How could he not see that the other one used by Shen Ge happened to be domestic? A company's most advanced product.

This can be seen through by a "grassroots personnel" at a glance. It is difficult to say that entering the "Twelve Branch" base will not be recognized.

Deng Yuqi suddenly felt a headache when she heard Cheng Shengnan's story and rubbed her forehead. Although she didn't agree with the plan at the beginning, when she heard that "most people with money can't buy it", she wanted to know where Shen Ge came from. Got it.

"...Well, if I read it correctly, the second model, uh, is the product of the company that is connected to the beautiful national military factory. This should be a new technology they just developed last year, right? We had an agreement with them at the time Technical exchange, this thing is not for sale to the outside world, Detective Shen, how did you get it?" a deputy director of the technical department asked curiously.

"I have a friend..." As soon as Shen Ge spoke, he suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him became strange, as if he was making something out of nothing.

Shen Ge suddenly said with a grimace: "This time I really have a friend who used to work in the orphanage. His name is 'He Dongli'. He works in this company."

"Really?" The deputy director of the technical department who asked the question suddenly lit up: "Detective Shen, can you create another one for us to study."

 “I’ll try my best,” Shen Ge said.

Deng Yuqi sighed: "It's getting late, let's stop this topic for now. Back to the topic, Chen Ke, you are responsible for liaising with other departments to convey the issue of the twelve branches, and jointly carrying out investigations with each division. The technical department and the inspection department investigated two man-made strange objects. The body will undergo data monitoring to ensure absolute safety before research can begin. Shen Ge and Lin Yin have recently stepped up patrols in the city to prevent the Twelve Branch from taking action again."

“Everyone must be very alert and must not let these weird criminals disrupt the city we work hard to protect!”

"yes!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

 The meeting ended, and the time was approaching two o'clock in the morning.

 Shen Ge and Cheng Shengnan returned to the dormitory.

"The 'Twelve' clowns are quite capable of finding my information and even finding my home. I suspect they may have found out my relationship with you, and maybe they have sent someone to your home. During this time If you want to go back to get something or something, you'd better let me come with you, otherwise ask someone from the war department for help, don't do it alone." Shen Ge took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. After sitting down, he held Cheng Shengnan in his arms and said .

 Cheng Shengnan nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, this is an extraordinary period. I will not put myself in danger or make you passive."

"You are very aware. Having said that, your business performance today is very good. You are worthy of being called 'Mr. Cheng'." Shen Ge joked.

Cheng Shengnan smiled and said: "Everywhere, the leader Shen Tan is the best. Dear leader, would you like to take a shower and go to bed, or go to bed directly?"

"Yes, our identities have been swapped now, and I am the leader. So, this new comrade, do you want to take a shower?" Shen Ge asked with a smile.

Cheng Shengnan raised his hand and smelled it: "After all, I went to eat hot pot. Although it doesn't smell much, it's more comfortable to take a shower. I'll move slowly, you first?"

"ah-"

 Cheng Shengnan was picked up by Shen Ge before he finished speaking and walked to the bathroom in the bedroom: "Let's wash together. Since I am the leader, it is reasonable for you to dive in, right?"

"roll!"

 It's a pity that Cheng Shengnan's resistance was meaningless. Taking a bath, which was already time-consuming, now became even more time-consuming.

 The point is, he’s quite useless.

　　【Congratulations to the host for surviving another day in a world full of weirdness. The reward is 1% of freely distributed points and 10 system points. 】

[On April 8, 2028, while forming an elite team, the Special Strategy Department applied for support from the headquarters. The headquarters also knew that the strange disaster in Rong City was urgent and agreed to send two senior counter-terrorism agents to carry five pieces of special equipment. Can be equipped for support. 】

[At the same time, the "Sakura" organization is also looking for a solution to the weird disaster in Tuokou City. The disappearance of the 6th-level weirdness in Quanlong Mountain has made them lose the possibility of checking and balancing the 8th-level weirdness. They can only learn from the high-level weird corpses in other places. Find a way. 】

【And now only a few countries such as the Beautiful Country still have high-level strange corpses in their hands. The people Sakura placed in Rong City have been transferred away one after another. 】

　　【After you reported the situation of Sakura to the Special Policy Department, the head of the Special Policy Department decided to arrest a few people and come back to investigate based on the information you provided. 】

 Shen Ge was lying on the bed looking at the latest [Diary] content, and suddenly wondered if it would become a global disaster three years later. Could it be this "Twelve Branches" who were behind it?

 The future self did not awaken to the system at the beginning, so he did not join the Special Strategy Department. This series of events attracted the attention of the Twelve Branches.

Now that the system has not only awakened, but is also lurking in "Sakura", will it be targeted by the Twelve Branches?

 In the future, will the “Twelve Branches” still exist?

Shen Ge sighed in his heart. Although "advance on-demand" was disgusting, he really wanted to see the [Diary] for the next few days.

Especially, can this "elite team" organized by the Special Policy Department really solve the "invisible" problem successfully?

 The sleeping Cheng Shengnan unconsciously squeezed into Shen Ge's arms, interrupting his train of thought. Shen Ge simply stopped thinking about it and fell asleep holding someone in his arms.

 The next day, Cheng Shengnan walked into Deng Yuqi's office with the compiled information and reported to him the newly established "Twelve Branch" files.

While Deng Yuqi was reading the report, Cheng Shengnan lowered her head and yawned. Although Deng Yuqi didn't see it, her senses were very keen and she caught Cheng Shengnan's breathing.

"The Special Policy Department used to be on standby for a long time. In recent months, with the high incidence of strange incidents, the work intensity has been dozens of times stronger than before. Now there is another 'Twelve Branch'. Alas, there will only be more work like this in the future. Quite a bit, you just came to the Special Policy Department, so don’t rush to look at the previous files, you should pay more attention to rest."

"Thank you, Minister, for your concern. I...I just want to sort out the information on the 'Twelve Branches' as soon as possible and write a report to Chen Ke so that he can contact other divisions for investigation. Maybe I was used to changing the design drawings in the past, but this change... I forgot about the time." It was obviously impossible for Cheng Shengnan to say that giving a report was just a trivial matter, but he couldn't resist the fact that he had an extremely energetic animal at home.

Deng Yuqi closed the report: "I read the report, and you did a good job. Your work ability is outstanding, and being Xiao Zhang's assistant is really a bit of an incompetence. In the past few days, you should get familiar with the business as soon as possible, and then I will arrange for you to go to the logistics department Department, starting from the deputy director.”

 “Minister Xie.” Cheng Shengnan stood up and prepared to leave.

Deng Yuqi stopped her and asked, "By the way, do you know where Tan Tan went today?"

“I remember he said he was responsible for patrolling Dongcheng District today.” Cheng Shengnan replied.

Deng Yuqi said: "After yesterday's meeting, you also know that Detective Shen is now the target of the 'Twelve Branches', and you are very likely to be implicated. If possible, I hope you will minimize your time going out in the near future. Even if you have to go out, you must ask for help." I apply, and I will dispatch the operations department to protect you. I hope you can understand this is an extraordinary time."

 “I understand.” Cheng Shengnan nodded to express his understanding.

Deng Yuqi said: "But if you go out with Detective Shen, you don't need to report to me. If he can't solve it, I guess the war department can't either."

The two were talking about Shen Ge's question when Xiao Zhang suddenly rushed in: "Report! Minister, something happened at the headquarters!"
