Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"What?!"

Du Biao suddenly looked towards the door. He had made thorough preparations for this transaction, and had even set up "eyes" all around him.

Logically speaking, even if you are being watched, the "eyes" around you should be aware of it.

This woman in front of me... has such keen senses? And her sensory range is even wider than his "eyes"?

That shouldn't be the case...

When Jiang Mian made his move last time, he judged that the opponent's ability should be [Wildfire], which is simply to set fires. He had never heard of it being able to enhance perception.

But to be on the safe side, he chose to believe 70%.

The goods have already been handed over, and apart from the money in her pocket, she shouldn't have any value to her anymore.

Since she took the initiative to remind us, it means the situation is urgent and serious enough to potentially affect her personally.

He tensed up and asked in a low voice:

"Who are they? How many are there?"

Jiang Mian did not respond immediately.

Just now, she sensed something unusual in the information carried by the wind.

Among the bar's front desk and passersby, there seemed to be quite a few awakened individuals hidden.

It's normal for there to be awakened individuals among the gangs that migrated from the west of the city in this area, but...

In Jiang Mian's eyes, their behavior was too abnormal, especially their aura, which was completely different from those gang members who lived on the edge of a knife.

To give an example, even if they have the same abilities, those gang members have a particularly murky smell, like a hodgepodge.

The ones outside are quite normal, and some are even exceptionally pure.

No one would believe that these people were trained by a gang.

"There are quite a few people."

After sensing the distribution of these people's positions, Jiang Mian finally spoke.

"There were about ten people in the front hall, the back door, and on the street. We were surrounded."

There weren't these people when she came before; she must have used some method to move quickly and surround this area.

It seems the target is Du Biao himself, or the transaction location has been leaked.

Upon hearing this, Du Biao's face suddenly darkened. At this time, the fact that such a net had been set up against him was most likely the work of the Public Security Bureau.

The only information about the trading location, besides what I know, is...

Thinking of this, his face darkened, and he cursed under his breath:

"Damn it, you ingrate..."

Despite his cursing, cold sweat still seeped down his back, but he tried his best to maintain a calm expression, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Ha... more than ten people, these cops really think highly of me."

Jiang Mian ignored him and stood quietly in place, sensing the situation outside. From the west side, it seemed... a familiar smell of stir-fried pork with chili peppers was faintly coming.

He's here too? What a coincidence!

This is troublesome...

This is definitely not good news for her.

Ye Chenyang's strength is unknown, and he is quite familiar with himself.

Once the fight begins, she will have to control the use of [Gale] to avoid giving herself away.

Jiang Mian's words of reminder to Du Biao were not merely out of concern that Du Biao's arrest would implicate him.

Her real purpose was to use this opportunity to pry information about the "source" from him, and see if she could get the inhibitors through his supply channels.

But before that, we need to get out of there first.

She had just noticed that the sheriffs seemed to never speak to each other, but they worked together very well.

One of them had a familiar aura; it was Cheng Qiao, whom I had met once before.

"South District Public Security Bureau"

Jiang Mian suddenly spoke up, and Du Biao's gaze towards her changed again.

He didn't even sense what the person in front of him had done, yet the other party had already figured out all the people's information?!

What a terrifying sensation...

"Do you know what kind of ability their field operations team leader has?"

She asked, "Since Cheng Qiao is the captain, his level is undoubtedly at least second-tier, and his abilities are not weak either."

"I know. Sequence 137, [Soul] Path, [Mind Network], Second Order."

As soon as he said that, Du Biao realized that someone could easily block the perception of his "eyes"... Could he have reached the third level?!

Damn it! Can my luck really be that bad?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian glanced sideways.

[HeartNet]...No wonder those people can act in an orderly manner without communicating; it turns out they have an internal network.

"What...are you planning to do?"

Du Biao looked at Jiang Mian with a complicated expression. Since the other party had been taking his time, he must have a way to escape.

Since he had already spoken, Jiang Mian directly and frankly said:

"I can take you away. On the condition that you tell me your 'source' and some other information I want to know."

"what?"

Du Biao was a little confused, staring blankly at the petite figure wrapped in a black raincoat in front of him, without answering immediately.

Take him away? Surrounded by a dozen or so awakened individuals from the Public Security Bureau?

Although most of them were first-tier awakened individuals, they were still elites, especially those skilled in combat, and well-equipped.

The person in front of him... in his memory, was still at the first level. Even if he has now reached the second level, his strength is still somewhat insufficient, right?

In his view, Jiang Mian's words were simply absurd.

But her confident tone, tinged with an inexplicable self-assurance, stirred a sliver of hope within Du Biao.

What if? What if she's really strong?

From that powerful perception just now, it's clear that her ability doesn't seem to be [Wildfire], but rather a stronger sequence.

As long as he agrees, all he'll give in return is some trivial information.

He's already decided to quit this business, so he's given up the supply.

Thinking of this, Du Biao took a deep breath and slowly said:

"Alright, I'll tell you through both of my channels. As for other information... we'll talk about it outside!"

Then, he spoke very quickly about the information he had:

One of his most frequently used channels was a legitimate pharmaceutical company in the west of the city.

Getting medicine from there is not only cheaper, but also safer because you have connections there.

However, things have been tense lately, and the contact person there has already fled, reportedly to another base city.

The other one is much more dangerous; it's an underground alliance of diseased individuals called the "Mutual Aid Society."

The scale is currently unknown, but it is said that after the "channel" was opened a few years ago, it seems to have expanded several times over. It operates covertly and is said to have its own inhibitor production line with ample supply.

However, the only way to make contact with them was through internal introductions, and given their deep-seated taboo against Awakened Ones, he could only interact with some peripheral figures.

Moreover, since the goods there all came from outside the city, the prices were really high, so he didn't contact them much after that.

"I can give you their contact information, but whether you join, and whether you are able to join, is up to you."

Jiang Mian listened in silence. The pharmaceutical company in the west of the city... it was expected.

When the authorities tighten their grip, these illegal factories that rely on legitimate licenses will be the first to run away without protection.

However, unexpectedly, in addition to local manufacturers, this guy also has channels in other base cities, which is a pleasant surprise.

She wrote down the URL Du Biao gave her, along with the password for verification. Although she had other questions, this was clearly not a place to stay for long.

"Now, which way do we go?"

After Du Biao finished speaking, he stared intently at Jiang Mian. Now it was time for Jiang Mian to fulfill her promise.

"Follow closely, but don't go more than three steps away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Biao felt a lightness in his body, as if he could take off with a simple leap.

"This...this is?!"

Jiang Mian took the first step and walked towards the door.
