Chapter 621 The Black Box Operator

Gao Dongxu, who understands the plot better than anyone, knows that foreign forces have never stopped coming for the so-called secret of immortality, one wave after another, which can truly be described as one after another.

For example, after Jude Kao died, his company was acquired and he continued to cause trouble in China, searching for the secret to immortality.

Since that's the case, Gao Dongxu can only let these foreigners with ulterior motives know just how dangerous the Celestial Empire is.

He felt no psychological pressure at all about killing those foreigners with ulterior motives.

"Oh, right, tell me my account number and transfer the money over—" Gao Dongxu reached into his pocket, took out his wallet from his spatial storage, pulled out a bank card, handed it to Xie Lianhuan, and said with a smile.

Jie Lianhuan twitched his lips, took the bank card with a wry smile, took out his phone, and began operating it.

"Di Di-"

A few minutes later, Gao Dongxu received a text message notification. After glancing at the message indicating the money had been deposited, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Lianhuan, who was handing him back the bank card, and said, "Why is there only ten million? Where's your ransom?"

"Young Master Gao, I really don't have that much money in my account. I'll transfer it to you once I get back to Hangzhou and have gathered enough," Xie Lianhuan said with a wry smile.

“Okay, I’ll have someone accompany you back to Hangzhou, and they can bring the artifact back to me while they’re at it. Is that alright?” Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"No problem..." Xie Lianhuan said with a helpless wry smile.

"Fugui, Fusheng, you two will accompany Third Master. If he tries anything funny and tries to escape, don't worry about it, just let him go," Gao Dongxu called over Fugui and Fusheng and instructed them in front of everyone.

"Understood," Fugui and Fusheng nodded in response.

Jie Lianhuan smiled wryly and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Gao, I will definitely not run away."

"It's fine if you run away. Next time we meet, I'll have someone break your legs so you won't have to run around like this anymore," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

A chill ran through everyone; now no one doubted Gao Dongxu's ruthlessness.

"And 'you'" made Xie Lianhuan smile bitterly, as this included Wu Sansheng as well.

"Take care of yourself." Gao Dongxu smiled meaningfully at Jie Lianhuan, then said, "The car's here, everyone get on, we're heading back to Beijing—"

At Liping Airport, Gao Dongxu, along with three women, Leng Feng, Erpang, Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, Xiao Hua, and Hei Xiazi, as well as Jiang Zisuan and two newly surrendered mercenaries, boarded a private plane bound for Beijing.

More than three hours later, the plane landed at Beijing Airport.

On the private helipad, five black SUVs were already waiting, with a group of burly men in black suits standing beside them, their expressions stern. As soon as they saw Xie Yuchen step out of the plane, the group moved forward.

The car and the people belonged to Xie Yuchen. After getting off the plane, Xie Yuchen was arranged to take Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi home, while Gao Dongxu took the others back to Dijingyuan in three cars.

Inside the Imperial Capital Villa, Gao Dongxu handed Jiang Zisuan the keys to a nearby apartment and instructed him: "Take those two and settle in there first. Starting tomorrow, the three of you will find someone for me. Once you find him, keep a close eye on him. Remember, don't let him discover you. This person is called Zhao Dehan... Can you do that?"

"Yes, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission," Jiang Zisuan immediately assured him confidently.

Gao Dongxu was very satisfied with Jiang Zisuan's current attitude. He made him wait for a while, then went upstairs and gave him one million yuan in cash for his daily expenses.

After seeing Jiang Zisuan off, Gao Dongxu began to organize the gains from his trip to Misty Village.

Antiques and treasures will naturally remain; handing them over is absolutely out of the question.

As for the captured filthy worms, they will all be handed over to experts for thorough research.

Gao Dongxu also plans to hand over a puppet made by combining the secret techniques of the Wang family's corpse-driving people with modern technology, so that the Ninth Bureau can study it carefully and see if it can give the experts some inspiration.

Finally, there was Zhang Buxun's body. To be honest, Gao Dongxu hesitated about whether or not to hand it over.

In the end, Gao Dongxu decided to conceal the existence of the immortality technique, even though it was a harmful and evil art. He worried that some people would be unable to resist the temptation and would frantically pursue it after learning about it.

In the end, it will be him, the provider, who will suffer the hardship and trouble. He doesn't want to create trouble for himself and get himself into a trap.

Therefore, any strange monsters or extraordinary creatures can be provided to the Ninth Bureau. However, he must strictly control any content related to immortality, and even personally erase any content related to immortality, so that the higher-ups can never know about the existence of the secret technique of immortality.

Never underestimate the greed and madness of human nature. The temptation of immortality is irresistible to everyone, especially those in positions of power.

This is one of the key reasons why Gao Dongxu actively established 749. He hoped to become a safety valve between the extraordinary world and the mortal world, personally controlling the influence of the extraordinary on the mortal world.

To be honest, what he feared most was the situation spiraling out of control. If the higher-ups really found out about the existence of the Bronze Gate, the Queen Mother of the West's immortality technique, the Zhang family's lineage of immortality, and the Wang family's pursuit of immortality to overthrow the Zhang family... he truly couldn't imagine what the situation would become.

Thinking hard!
Therefore, he needs to act as a safety valve, filtering out and generating content.

If you know nothing, you won't have any delusions!
The purpose of Gao Dongxu's 749 is to eliminate the existence of the immortality technique!

Having thought all this through, Gao Dongxu sealed Zhang Buxun's body in his storage space without any hesitation.

After contacting Director Luo by phone and agreeing to meet at the Ninth Bureau, Gao Dongxu, along with A Ning, Erpang, and Leng Feng, drove two cars to the Ninth Bureau.

The car drove into the courtyard of the Ninth Bureau. The car door opened, and Gao Dongxu stepped out, followed by the dashing A Ning. Leng Feng and Erpang carefully unloaded the humanoid puppet covered by a black cloth, as well as a cardboard box riddled with holes.

Director Luo and the experts from the Ninth Bureau had been waiting at the entrance for some time. Director Luo quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Gao Dongxu: "Dongxu, thank you for your hard work. What did you bring back this time?"

"Director Luo, please don't rush." ​​Gao Dongxu smiled slightly and gestured for Leng Feng to lift the black cloth. When the strange humanoid puppet was fully revealed to everyone, a collective gasp filled the room.

"This...this is a robot? No—" Professor Zhang, a materials science expert, pushed up his glasses, his fingers trembling slightly, "This level of craftsmanship..."

The biochemist was drawn to the cardboard box. She leaned closer to examine it and saw moths inside the transparent containers. "What are these things?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Faced with a barrage of questions from the experts, Gao Dongxu raised his hand to indicate, "Everyone, please be patient. I've recorded the entire process. How about we go to the conference room first, watch the video, and then discuss it in detail?"

Inside the conference room, when the projector lit up and the ghostly soldiers engulfed in eerie green flames appeared on the screen, the entire room fell silent instantly. An expert dropped his pen with a clatter, but he was oblivious, his eyes glued to the screen.

"This energy reaction is unscientific," an expert muttered to himself, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

As the scene shifted to the appearance of the Ghost General, the moment his gleaming longsword slashed down, the experts gasped in unison, as if the blade would actually leap off the screen. Director Luo's eyes gleamed with admiration as he watched Gao Dongxu fight the Ghost General with astonishing speed and power.

The most shocking moment came at the end of the video. When the jade pendant was returned to its place, and a human-like glint suddenly appeared in the ghost general's eyes, one of the experts abruptly stood up, his chair crashing to the ground. He braced his hands on the conference table, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible!" the expert's voice was hoarse. "How could a thousand-year-old corpse still retain consciousness? This violates all known laws of biology!"

The video ended, but silence remained in the conference room for a long time. Everyone was processing what they had just seen, images that completely overturned their years of scientific understanding.

Finally, Director Luo broke the silence: "Dongxu, let's start from the beginning. We need to know every single detail."

Gao Dongxu nodded and began to recount the entire incident in detail. As he spoke, he noticed that Director Luo's gaze never left him, and that his eyes, besides admiration, seemed to conceal something deeper.
As the story unfolded, the experts gasped in surprise at times, and fell into deep thought at others. When they reached the part about the ghost general's final actions, one expert suddenly interjected: "Did you notice that look in his eyes? That wasn't a simple conditioned reflex; it was a genuine expression of emotion!"

The conference room erupted in discussion once again, with experts offering their opinions. Some suggested immediately conducting gene sequencing on the filthy worms, others proposed reverse engineering the humanoid puppets, and still others advocated for the formation of a dedicated research team to study the consciousness of ancient corpses.

Director Luo watched the scene unfold before him, a slight smile playing on his lips. He knew that everything he had witnessed today would completely alter the future research direction of the Ninth Bureau. And Gao Dongxu, standing beside him, would become the central figure in all of this change.

As the meeting ended, the last rays of the setting sun streamed into the conference room through the windows.

"Dongxu," Director Luo said as he walked out of the conference room alongside Gao Dongxu, "Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

Gao Dongxu looked up and met Director Luo's deep gaze. He smiled and nodded, "When the leader invites me to dinner, I have to make time, even if I'm busy."

"Haha...you little rascal, by the way, who was that beautiful woman who was with you earlier?"

"My girlfriend is one of my most capable assistants," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

Director Luo's eyes lit up. If Gao Dongxu recognized him as his most capable assistant, then the other party's abilities must be formidable.

Will she join 749?

"No, I don't plan to let her continue taking risks. The extraordinary world is too dangerous for her," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"However, this time I did recruit two expert tomb raiders into 749."

"A master tomb raider?" Director Luo frowned slightly.
