182: Chapter 182 Are young people these days all so adventurous?
It had to be admitted that human technology was far more advanced than Xing Yaoyan had realized.
Such a small Task Token could actually depict every detail of a mission and pinpoint the destination in the holder's mind after being activated with Demonic Power.
Under the guidance of the token, Xing Yaoyan soon brought Qian Mo to the entrance of the Kyoto Security Bureau.
On the way there, she could clearly feel that the pedestrians on the street had thinned out significantly; the windows of every household were tightly shut, and it was unusually quiet.
However, this Security Bureau was the complete opposite of the scene on the street. Enforcers were busy coming and going, various armored mecha vehicles roared past, and everyone's expression was solemn.
Not far away, Xing Yaoyan inadvertently caught a glimpse of Captain Li Qiaoyan, who seemed to be directing her subordinates to move supplies...
Just as she and Qian Mo drew a bit closer, a loud shout came from the side.
"What are you doing?! Don't you know these are extraordinary times?!"
A Enforcer dressed in a black robe spoke as he prepared to step forward and drive away these two thrill-seeking youngsters.
At that moment, the girl among the two took out a token carved with strange patterns, and a pleasant voice drifted from her mouth.
"Hello, we are Longxiang Academy students here specifically to assist in your investigation. This is our Task Token..."
"Oh! My apologies... please follow me..."
Hearing this, the Enforcer immediately changed his attitude. After a brief check of the Task Token's authenticity, he hurried to lead the two inside...
Entering a room, Xing Yaoyan placed the token in her hand before the only man in the room. The room was large, but he had the only workstation, and it didn't look as luxurious as those in a boss's office; it was just a very ordinary office worker's setup.
The man had deep-set eyes with two massive dark circles, and his body looked somewhat thin. His small-sized uniform actually looked a bit big on him.
His hands were typing rapidly on the keyboard, and his entire being radiated the heavy resentment of an office worker.
"Brother He, I've brought two people from the Longxiang Academy. Please help arrange their mission briefing later... I'll be going now."
This Enforcer seemed quite afraid of the man working. He quickly gave a few instructions after bringing Xing Yaoyan and the other over, then hurriedly left.
Xing Yaoyan first looked at the departing Enforcer, then at the man sitting in front of the computer, feeling somewhat emotional.
The Enforcer who brought them didn't look very old, probably in his thirties, yet he actually called this man, who looked over fifty, "Brother He"... It seemed the clerks at the Security Bureau were truly exhausted...
But why was he the only person in this huge office...
Before she could think further, she suddenly felt an indescribable gaze that made her skin crawl.
It turned out the man had looked up.
"Xing Yan... Qian Mo... the Law Enforcement Team taking you will be here in ten minutes. I've entered the waiting location into the Task Token... please see yourselves out..."
His voice indeed sounded very young, but combined with his haggard appearance and listless tone, it felt as if he were an old man with one foot in the grave.
"Okay..."
Although she hadn't seen when he had entered so much information into the token, Xing Yaoyan only wanted to take it back and leave quickly.
This man gave her a very unsettling feeling...
But after taking a few steps, she suddenly realized the young man who was always by her side hadn't followed.
She hurried to turn her head, only to see that Qian Mo, for some unknown reason, was staring fixedly at the man with a gaze sharper than ever before.
"Clack..."
The dense sound of keyboard typing abruptly stopped.
The keyboard sound, which hadn't ceased since the two entered the room, had now stopped.
In the next moment, that spine-chilling sensation struck again.
Xing Yaoyan swallowed quietly. If she hadn't seen any danger red light from this man, she would have slipped away long ago...
"Kid... what are you still doing here... get lost... I don't want to say it a second time..."
His voice became even raspier...
Qian Mo, however, showed no fear and was unusually calm.
"I'm sorry, sir... I'm leaving now..."
Xing Yaoyan was jaw-dropped by this: this guy had been acting so cool for so long, and now he was actually backing down!
Thus, the moment Qian Mo turned around, he received a heavy rap on the head.
"Young Miss Xing Yan... what was that for..."
He reached out to touch the spot where he'd been hit, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"Stop embarrassing me, let's go!"
Anyway, he was the one who had annoyed her first, and with the strength of his Physical Body, that hit hadn't caused him much damage at all.
Just like that, the two of them walked out bickering.
"Clack..."
The door closed again, and the room returned to a dead silence. Before long, the dense sound of keyboard typing echoed inside once more...
Following the guidance, Xing Yaoyan and the other arrived at a small cubicle.
This room was much smaller than the one where the man they just met was staying.
But though the sparrow is small, it has all its vital organs.
One wall was covered with weapons that looked very cool.
There were swords and firearms with colorful flowing lines of light, and not far away was a row of cabinets. It looked like the exclusive lounge of a certain Law Enforcement Team.
"Birdcage..."
Sure enough, after observing for a moment, Xing Yaoyan soon saw a small metal plate on the upper left of the cabinet with the name of this Law Enforcement Team written on it.
"So this is the 'Birdcage' Law Enforcement Team's lounge..."
Qian Mo looked somewhat surprised.
But under Xing Yaoyan's questioning, he wouldn't say more, only that he had some impression of this team and knew nothing else.
"Keeping me in suspense again, are you..."
The girl wore a dangerous smile and clenched her fist tightly.
"Young Miss Xing Yan... this is a public place... calm down..."
"I'll calm down my—"
Before she could finish, Xing Yaoyan suddenly pounced on the boy, intending to make this "riddler" suffer a bit...
"Bang!"
"Hello... newcomers... uh..."
The door suddenly opened. Nightingale was preparing to welcome the new teammates, but after seeing the scene in the room, her words got stuck in her throat.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The teammates behind her curiously poked their heads in to look as well.
As a result, everyone was petrified on the spot.
From their perspective, the boy was lying on the lounge's only sofa, while a beautiful white-haired young girl was straddling him, her small pink fist suspended in the air, giving off a distinct vibe of flirting.
"Captain... I think we should come back later..." another younger female member, Spirit Sparrow, stammered.
"Yeah..." the middle-aged man unconsciously responded softly.
Some paper documents in his hand were already teetering, but he didn't seem to notice at all.
Sure enough, it seemed he was getting old... Are young people these days really this wild?
