Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 202 My Turn

Just as Liu Ke and the others from Na Du Tong revealed their identities and had a genuine heart-to-heart talk with Chen Duo about the 'future'...

Inside the Guizhou branch of the Yaoxing Society in GY City, a 'meeting' was also taking place.

Yes, as the culmination of 'modern journalism' in the world of extraordinary people, Yaoxing Society has branches in every province and mini-outlets in every city across the country.

Now that she knew about the major event taking place in Biyou Village, LPS City, Guizhou Province, Qu Tong, as "Sister Ma," was naturally worried and hurriedly flew from headquarters to the Guizhou branch to oversee the situation.

Of course, since it was a branch office, there weren't many people here who could be considered Qu Tong's 'confidants'. Correspondingly, the pool of people who could attend the meeting was extremely small; at most, besides Qu Tong, there was only one other male officer present.

Of course, in terms of the actual number of attendees, there was one other person also participating. However…

That person wasn't actually at the Yaoxing Society's provincial branch at the moment, but was participating in a remote video conference using the conference software provided by Yaoxing Society. However, for some reason, the signal was very poor, intermittent, and not a single note could be heard clearly.

Therefore, although the meeting room had been locked for four or five hours, little progress was actually made. After all, the signal from the video participant was consistently poor, with only intermittent, even barely audible, voices appearing every few minutes.

After waiting for almost two hours, just as Qu Tong's brows were furrowed and her expression was becoming increasingly tense, the video signal on the conference room's projection screen finally stopped flickering, and the sound gradually became clearer.

"Hey! Hey! Can you hear me? Damn it, why can't it work here? Are the tech team just sitting around doing nothing? This is even less effective than just using a penguin!"

As the sound and image became clearer, the participant in the image revealed her figure. She was the female cadre who had been temporarily given the 'Dual-Handed' ability to act as a mouthpiece by Qu Tong.

Upon hearing her voice, one of Qu Tong's confidants, the 'junior leader' of the Yaoxing Society's Guizhou branch, glanced at Qu Tong's reaction before moving the microphone and replying, "I heard you. Our signal is normal here. How's your signal? Please respond if you receive this. Repeat, please respond if you receive this!"

Visibly, the female officer's expression of anger and helplessness at being unable to contact the 'organization' relaxed immediately upon hearing a reply from the other end. She responded, "Received, received! Kong Shicao, is that you? There's too much background noise on my end; I can make out the words, but I can't tell whose voice it is!"

"Is the president in? I need to report to her immediately!"

Kong Shicao—the branch manager—hearing the female staff member's still energetic voice, nodded and then said, "The president is here. But... can't you see him? Our video signal should be normal."

About ten seconds later, the female staff member replied, saying, "Uh, I can only see a static shot here, and you're not even in the view. To be honest, even now, the audio is constantly cutting out."

Upon hearing this, Kong Shicao frowned, but still stood up and moved the podium-style microphone, which was 'slightly' far away from Qu Tong, closer to her.

Qu Tong... the president of Yaoxing Society, only made a slight move after about six or seven breaths.

A flash of blue light appeared in her eyes, and her whole body seemed to be lubricated, her previously stiff movements becoming silky smooth.

If one had to describe it, before the blue light flashed before Qu Tong's eyes, she was like a mechanical puppet. But after the blue light flashed, it was as if she truly became a person.

After activating herself, Qu Tong first stretched her neck a little, then reached out and lowered the microphone to her head.

She said, "I'm here. How's the situation...?"

It is now late at night. Even though the physical strength and endurance of extraordinary people are far beyond that of ordinary people, they are still within the realm of human beings. Staying up late will eventually consume some energy, and even for the circulation of Qi, midnight is a low point.

Especially for someone like Qu Tong, who is constantly thinking about things day and night, has extremely poor sleep quality, and occasionally needs to use her double-handed methods or secret drugs to force herself to fall asleep, holding a meeting in the middle of the night is just compressing her already very little sleep time.

Therefore, when Qu Tong asked the question, her tone was tinged with weariness. If one could also see the blue light that would occasionally flash in her eyes, one would know that she was using her two hands to rouse and forcibly control her spirit.

Upon hearing Qu Tong's question, the female staff member who was participating in the meeting via video using Yaoxing Society's proprietary software immediately responded.

"President, President... why is it buffering again? Can you hear me?"

After hearing Qu Tong's affirmative reply once again, the female cadre continued, "As you instructed, I led my men to ambush around Biyou Village early yesterday morning."

"Just as you predicted, less than two or three hours after nightfall, the Na Du Tong gang broke in, and we could see Biyou Village on fire from afar."

"We wanted to continue our close-up observation, but then hundreds of people from NaDuTong arrived and surrounded the entire Biyou Village, and kept encircling it..."

"So, in order to avoid trouble, we hid and took advantage of the time difference to skip the patrol of Na Du Tong and arrived at the outer perimeter of the village."

Upon hearing this, Qu Tong nodded and said, "What you did was fine. If there's a risk of exposure during the observation, then you should indeed take your people and evacuate first."

The female officer nodded and said, "As for the follow-up, we can only observe a little bit through Luo Rong's [Yu Feng Method], but the general result is... Brother Ma used some means in the end and actually won against those people from Biyou Village."

"However, regarding the subsequent developments... the company must have set up a barrier, so even if [Yu Feng]'s method was used, it couldn't be heard anymore."

Upon hearing the female officer's reply, Qu Tong paused, sat up straighter, muttered something to herself, and then asked, "Xian Hong... he won?"

The female staff member knew that Qu Tong had some doubts about the answer, but she still explained, "Uh, president, I also find it hard to believe, but... we definitely won."

"Because the original encirclement network of Na Du Tong had been shrinking towards Biyou Village, but after Luo Rong obtained the news that Brother Ma had won through his methods, the encirclement network stopped moving and became fixed."

Then, the female officer paused for a moment before continuing, "After that, due to the barrier and encirclement... we realized that we could no longer observe the specific situation of Biyou Village, so we prepared to contact you."

"However, strangely enough, it seems that after those guys from All-Knowing came, they used some kind of method, and the cell phone signal around Biyou Village suddenly became extremely poor, making it impossible to communicate at all."

"There was no other way, so I had the others continue to hide on the outskirts and observe as much as possible, while I took a 'Starshine' and drove almost 20 kilometers away until I reached the edge of the city's outskirts before I was able to make contact with you."

"In short, that's the current situation. To avoid trouble, our people are stuck outside the encirclement and we're also unable to gather any more information about Biyou Village."

“However…” Qu Tong frowned, and seeing the other party stammering, she reassured him, “Don’t worry, if anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with you.”

"Just say what you want to say, I won't blame you."

The female officer hesitated for a moment before saying, "When Na Du Tong first deployed a large number of people to surround us, in order to complete our mission, we also carefully observed the 'net' they had set up and looked around the outer perimeter of Na Du Tong."

"As it turned out, they discovered that one of the 'All-Knowing' groups was acting rather strangely..."

At this point, the female officer realized her words were too vague, so she reorganized her speech, saying, "The Na Du Tong group surrounded Biyou Village in roughly eight directions. Among them, the group responsible for the northwest direction, if we're not mistaken, seems to have few supernatural beings inside, and they've..."

"It's been built..."

Qu Tong took a deep breath, pinched her brow, and asked, "What did you build? You couldn't have just used the Five Elements magic to build an earthen wall, could you?"

The female staff member smiled awkwardly, then nodded in the video conference and said, "It's a building... There's no city wall, but there is a perimeter wall, but I don't know exactly how they built it."

"Those... buildings, the other seven directions of Na Du Tong didn't work on them, so I think this group of people is very special."

"When I think back to what you told me before, I always feel... that it's not just a building, but more like a defensive fortification. Like... like the kind that always appears in news reports about the military."

"Moreover, that group of all-knowing people, although there are only six or seven of them who are clearly visible. But... those few, each of them... gives off a rather unusual feeling."

"At least, uh, at worst, it's like... Chai Ye's level."

Qu Tong was a smart person, and after a little thought, she understood the female cadre's hint. But she only gave a slight "hmm" and then fell silent.

About three or four minutes later, she looked up again and asked around, "Did you bring any cigarettes?"

Kong Shicao, who was sitting opposite him, was taken aback at first, and then said, "I brought it."

After saying that, he took out a box of 'Lotus' from inside his suit jacket and stood up to hand it to Qu Tong.

Qu Tong, however, reached out her hand first, stopping the other person's actions. Just as her subordinate was wondering what was going on, she asked, "Did you bring any other brands?"

Kong Shicao's eyes widened slightly before he replied, "Yes, but smoking is prohibited in the work area; it's only available in the rest area. Which brand would you like? I'll get it for you."

Qu Tong didn't lower her outstretched hand. She rested her chin on her hand and pondered for almost five minutes before suddenly saying, "Take one box each of Liqun and Nanhai."

After receiving Qu Tong's explicit order, Kong Shicao did not hesitate any longer. He nodded and strode off to the rest area to get the two brands of cigarettes that Qu Tong wanted.

About three minutes later, Kong Shicao returned by elevator and placed two packs of cigarettes on the table, pushing them in front of Qu Tong.

He said, "I took a few extra boxes without permission. If you need more, you can let me know."

Qu Tong nodded, and after about half a minute, she recovered. She looked down at the cigarette box in front of her, but did not pick it up.

"Zheng Shuang, how many people did you bring with you?"

Upon hearing Qu Tong's question, the thick-lipped female cadre—that is, Zheng Shuang—reacted for a moment before saying, "Of the seven, Guan Liang is the most capable fighter; the others are only average."

Qu Tong narrowed her eyes, then opened the two cigarette packs in front of her one by one, and said, "Wait for me a moment."

When she said this, Qu Tong's eyes didn't look at anyone; they seemed to be blank. Then, she picked up the box of Liqun cigarettes, opened it, and took out a cigarette.

When she lit the cigarette and took a deep drag, she was choked and coughed uncontrollably. But even so, her empty eyes remained unchanged.

About a minute later, Qu Tong finished the entire cigarette and placed the butt on the table.

Then, she looked at the pack of cigarettes with a wary expression, squinted, opened the pack, took out another cigarette, lit it, and put it in her mouth.

"call"

This time, it seemed as if Qu Tong's long-dormant "smoker" tendencies had been reactivated, and she didn't cough again.

After Qu Tong finished smoking, she said, "Once it's daytime, you can prepare to enter Biyou Village directly. If... you see that the Na Du Tong surrounding Biyou Village intends to retreat, you can wait a little longer."

At this point, the video conference signal improved, and both sides could see the image. Seeing Zheng Shuang nod, Qu Tong continued, "Regarding Xian Hong..."

But halfway through her sentence, her eyes narrowed again, her face tightened, and she continued, "Let's abandon the original plan for now."

Upon hearing this, the female officer couldn't help but interject, "Discarded? Then there's no need to forcibly remove them?"

A flash of blue light crossed Qu Tong's eyes as she said, "Yes, you don't have to take it with you."

Hearing this, Zheng Shuang was taken aback, then asked, "Then, if that's the case, why are we still going to Biyou Village?"

Hearing the other party's question, Qu Tong did not explain, but said: "Whether it's infiltration or a strong attack, it doesn't matter, just create a situation where only you and Xian Hong are present."

Then, "It's my turn."
