Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 106 The Origin of the End of the World

In the closed and spacious cabin environment, Lin Qing lay back on the soft and comfortable sofa seat.

Sitting on the seat to his left was the sleepy Zhao Jiayi, while sitting two seats to the right across the aisle were Xu Qiu and Yuan Anping.

Although there was no one in the front and back rows, there were about ten people sitting scattered further away.

Those present were basically chief inspectors or inspectors from the Jiangnan region. Some of them were spotted by the headquarters and signed elite patrol training contracts, while others were newly emerged gene awakeners.

There are also his assistants or relatives.

The inspection headquarters is allowed to bring one assistant or relative with them.

"Welcome all newcomers to the inspection."

Suddenly, the ultra-thin full-screen hanging in front lit up, and a smiling fair-skinned bald man appeared on the screen. He was the inspector who was responsible for escorting them this time.

I don’t know his name, I just know his last name is Zhuo.

"We will arrive at the patrol headquarters in about half an hour."

Inspector Zhuo smiled and said, "There are more new inspectors from the Jiangnan region entering the inspection headquarters than in the past. There are eleven of them, while in previous years there were only a few."

Eleven people?
Lin Qing thought about it and it seemed to be about the same.

Lin'an City alone has a population of over ten million, and it takes about two to three years for one person to be selected by the inspection headquarters. The three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have a population of nearly 200 million, and a batch is selected every six months, so overall there are only a few of them.

However, this time, three people came from Lin’an City alone.

"However, the total number of new recruits recruited by the inspection headquarters from around the world this time is slightly less than last year. It seems that the Jiangnan region is a bit special."

Patrol Envoy Zhuo shook his head and smiled, saying, "The work of the Patrol Headquarters is also for search and patrol, but the scope of responsibility is larger. All areas of the world except the metropolitan area and the three forbidden areas fall within the scope of responsibility of the Patrol Headquarters."

"Of course, each city is still under the charge of the branch. My inspection headquarters will only dispatch chief inspectors or senior chief inspectors to provide support based on the situation in each region."

Patrol Envoy Zhuo smiled and said, "But you all have the potential to become 'Elite Patrols'. If that day comes, the patrol areas you are responsible for will be different. However, this involves the secrets of our Earth civilization. Before you become Elite Patrols, I won't say much."

The secret of Earth's civilization?
Lin Qing's heart moved.

He also asked Chen Guang, but Chen Guang didn't know much. She could only connect to the information database distributed around the world by the patrol headquarters, but the core data was also managed by intelligent life. If she forcibly broke in, she would be discovered.

It seems that we can only find out more after we enter the inspection headquarters.

"Before arriving at headquarters, there are three things I need to tell you."

Patrolman Zhuo smiled and said, "First, from now on, please forget about the titles of Patrol Chief and Senior Patrol Chief. There are no such titles at the headquarters. There are only two levels: Rookie Patrol and Elite Patrol."

Newcomer? Elite?
The newlyweds present didn't find it strange.

After all, the agreement signed at the beginning was an elite patrol training contract.

"According to the rules, all new patrol officers who have just arrived and entered the headquarters are assigned to the 'training branch'."

Inspector Zhuo said, "You have three years to receive training. Within three years, all you have to do is to transform from a newcomer to an elite - that is, to obtain a one-star authority. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the headquarters."

"Of course, even if you are granted one-star authority, you will still be considered as peripheral members of the Patrol Headquarters. You can only stay in the Patrol Headquarters for a maximum of ten years, and then you must leave."

"One-star authority..."

Lin Qing had heard Chen Guang say this.

The job title system is mainly used to inspect various regions outside the headquarters.

The inspection headquarters brings together the world's most elite inspectors, each of whom can be called an elite, and their scope of authority is also different from the past.

Therefore, elite inspections only look at the level of authority.

The lowest is one star and the highest is five stars.

It is said that the Inspector, as a branch minister, has four-star authority, while the higher five-star authority is exclusive to the senior ministers.

“It’s not difficult to get one-star authority.”

Inspector Zhuo said: "It still conforms to the consistent tradition of our inspection system - merit and strength!"

"Merit: You are required to obtain three first-class merits."

"As for his strength, he has reached the level of a general senior patrol leader, which is also the level of the most common gene awakener."

"If the gene has not awakened, you need to master the original combat method and undergo a certain level of gene optimization."

Patrolman Zhuo said, "So, it's a one-star elite patrol. As for the two-star elite patrol, usually only those with gene awakening can reach this level. It won't be too late to understand it after your gene awakening."

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

Chen Guang measured his current strength and found that he was only a one-star elite patrol.

Although it is the best among them, it is indeed not as good as the two-star elite patrol.

After all, there is a huge difference between these two levels.

At the patrol headquarters, most of the two-star elite patrols are genetically awakened.

The difference between whether the genes are awakened and not is huge.

The most common gene awakeners, even if they have not undergone the third-level gene optimization, only need to adjust their genes to the most perfect state and then practice a series of simplified combat methods to the instinctive level to become a senior patrol leader.

And what about not awakening?
Not only does it require several rounds of genetic optimization, but it is also necessary to master the original tactics. These two advantages can offset the gap in genetic awakening.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, most of the two-star elite patrols are genetically awakened.

In this underground research institute incident, the headquarters sent only one-star elite patrols to Lin'an City. After all, higher-level elite patrols could hardly enter that broken door.

The two inspectors are responsible for this.

"But... I should be able to become a two-star patrol before my gene awakens."

Lin Qing pondered secretly.

In fact, with his current strength, if he uses instant light, the gap between him and the two-star elite patrol will not be particularly large.

If one wants to reach the strength of a two-star elite patrol before the genes are awakened, it is necessary to master the original combat methods, not to mention the third-level genetic abilities.

The key lies in the genetic ability of the fourth level!

Generally, only those who come from urban areas can meet this standard.

After all, a genetically awakened person must also master the original combat tactics and the third-level abilities to be considered a two-star elite patrol.

To make up for the huge gap in genetic awakening, an equally huge advantage is required.

"As for higher levels, that's only possible after the gene awakens."

Lin Qing thought to himself.

"Remember, if you don't get a one-star level of authority within three years, you will be expelled from the headquarters."

Patrol Envoy Zhuo said solemnly: "After becoming a one-star elite patrol, you can stay at the headquarters for a maximum of ten years. If you fail to enter a branch within ten years, you will also be sent to various regions to serve as the commander-in-chief of each region."

Although most of the new inspectors present were still unclear about the benefits of working at the headquarters, they could understand from these words that the benefits of being an elite inspector at the headquarters were definitely much better than being sent abroad!

"In the training branch, you also need to complete the tasks assigned to you by the headquarters every month."

Inspector Zhuo said: "Of course, there will be rewards such as points and merits. You can find out the details yourself after you arrive at the headquarters."

He smiled and said, "That's all I have to say. Good luck to you." The screen changed, showing the remaining flight distance to the headquarters.

652km.

The destination is a mysterious island in the Atlantic Ocean.

"Lin Qing."

Zhao Jiayi, who was standing next to him, looked at the blue sky and vast sea outside the boat and whispered, "The inspection headquarters is on an island. Are there movie theaters and shopping malls?"

"I don't know, probably not." Lin Qing said, "Who would open a shopping mall at the headquarters for nothing?"

"what?"

Zhao Jiayi pursed her lips in disappointment and couldn't help but mutter something.

Lin Qing couldn't help but look at her.

This time he understood; the girl was indeed speaking her hometown dialect.

She just said 'I want to go home'.

"Lin Qing."

Xu Qiu, who was across the aisle, turned and looked over, and said, "Are you still going to stay in the training branch?"

"Wait a while." Lin Qing said casually.

He still has a lot of room for improvement and needs to practice for some time.

It is easier in the training branch. The main thing is to practice and improve yourself, and there is only one mission every month.

Once you become a one-star elite patrol, you will probably be busy.

Moreover, all the missions he encountered were at least one-star missions, especially since he had to enter the branch of Inspector Tang, the difficulty of the missions he encountered would be even higher.

Without sufficient strength, you can only rely on others for protection and help. What if they can't take care of you?
At least you have to reach the level of a two-star elite patrol first.

"Then I'll stay for a while." Yuan Anping sighed at the side, "It's really tragic for a person like me who is the weakest gene awakener. No branch is willing to accept me. I can only be a peripheral patrol. It's better for me to stay in Lin'an."

Lin Qing couldn't help but glance at him.

Ever since he discovered this guy's true strength, he no longer believes what he says and just acts like a grandson every day.

The weakest gene awakener?
If Yuan Anping didn't have the strength of a two-star elite inspector now, he would write his name backwards.

The new patrolman sitting in the front row of the cabin couldn't help but turn his head and look over here.

A genetically awakened person says he is tragic, and there is a newcomer who seems to have obtained one-star authority?
It is quite rare to be able to obtain one-star authority right after entering the inspection headquarters.

……

Soon, the plane landed at the island airport where the inspection headquarters was located.

There is a twelve-hour time difference between the Atlantic Ocean and China. It took seven hours to fly here, and now it is early morning on the island.

“It took seven hours to fly here.”

After getting off the plane, Lin Qing looked at the rising sun in the distance and asked in confusion, "I remember the time the inspector was killed, it took less than two hours from the time the report was submitted to the time the inspector arrived in Lin'an?"

The people on the side didn't say anything, obviously they didn't understand either.

"That's for sure."

Inspector Zhuo, who was standing in front, turned his head and looked at him, then smiled and said, "We are riding the headquarters' supersonic plane, which is already faster than a civilian airliner, and Inspector Tang is riding a special fighter plane produced by the Liming Group. It only takes a little over an hour to travel more than 12,000 kilometers."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

More than 12,000 kilometers in just over an hour, which is almost ten times the speed of sound.

"However, Inspector Tang's car is just average, not as good as mine."

Patrol Envoy Zhuo smiled and said, "My private aircraft is more advanced than hers. It can easily reach a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound. It's just a little small and can't hold so many people. I don't like others getting on my vehicle."

Lin Qing was stunned.

No wonder, a dignified inspector took an ordinary plane from the headquarters to pick people up.

"If you think it's too slow, you can also buy your own private fighter jet."

Patrol Officer Zhuo casually said, "As long as you have enough points and authority, you can even buy the top-grade 'planet cruiser' produced by the Liming Group. It can circle the earth in half an hour. Unfortunately, it is too expensive. Even our Patrol Officers are reluctant to buy it."

Lin Qing was secretly shocked when he heard this.

Planetary cruiser?
It only takes half an hour to go around the earth?

By this calculation, isn't it dozens of times the speed of sound?
However, compared with the Zhixing Group, which can travel to Earth through space, this speed seems nothing.

After a while, a bus drove over and took everyone to the training branch at the headquarters.

In the area where the training branch is located, several buildings can be seen standing from afar.

"You should first drop off your luggage at the assigned accommodation and report to the training center on time at 8 o'clock."

After the inspector gave his final instructions, he left.

After Lin Qing received the electronic door number on the first floor, he took Zhao Jiayi upstairs.

After arriving at Room 2217 on the nd floor, I found that the structure of the house was similar to that of a larger hotel-style apartment, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room, as well as a relatively sturdy but small practice room.

The total area is about 140 square meters.

It just so happens that Zhao Jiayi and I each share a room.

"Even if we live close to each other, you are not allowed to spy on me with telekinesis." Lin Qing warned.

"Know it."

Zhao Jiayi puffed up her cheeks and muttered in her hometown dialect: "Really? I'm obviously the girl, you stingy guy..."

"What did you say?" Lin Qing pretended to be confused.

"I'm praising you."

"Oh."

Lin Qing said casually: "It's okay, a one-star elite patrol can get a bigger duplex apartment, and a two-star can live in a single-family building, just wait for a while."

……

After entering the bedroom and closing the door, Lin Qing walked to the window and looked out. He found the scenery was quite good. In the distance was the blue sea and blue sky, which was refreshing.

I picked up the bedside tablet again, looked through it, and found that it didn't have many functions, mainly just ordering food and other services.

"Lin Qing, this island where the patrol headquarters is located has many benefits."

Chen Guang's voice sounded in his mind, "One of the sources that caused the end of the world in 2025 should exist here."

"What?" Lin Qing was stunned.

　Sorry, my schedule has been a bit messy these past two days. I have to go out and do things when I get up. I will try to adjust.
