Unconventional security

Upon hearing this, Qian Feng was taken aback.

The man continued, "Your methods are too crude. How could you possibly hide the results of our decades of law enforcement efforts without thorough preparation?"

"The arson was clearly seen by StarEye. In addition to the visible StarEye cameras, there are also some miniature cameras connected to the StarEye terminal."

"We checked the archives against the award winners, but there's no record of you. It seems you used some kind of disguise."

"The Fresnel lens he assembled with limited materials was not sophisticated at all. At first glance, it seemed fine, but it would be exposed if you looked closely for a few seconds."

"Your escape was mostly facilitated by us: the collapse of buildings, guiding others to the accident site at the city gate, and our covert support at the city wall, etc."

The other party described everything in great detail, leaving not only Qian Feng stunned, but also everyone else in the transport vehicle completely bewildered.

Given the hasty nature of the events, if they had simply staged a riot and managed to escape using crude Fresnel lenses, it would indeed have relied too much on luck.

Unexpectedly, this good fortune was actually orchestrated by someone.

Chen Bei stopped hiding and opened the door to show himself.

Upon seeing Chen Bei, the two ignored Qian Feng and walked straight towards him.

"I'm glad you agreed to see me."

The security guard got straight to the point, taking out a remote control button.

"This is a gift from my master to you. You can press it here."

Chen Bei pressed the button without much hesitation. What was the point of hesitating now that things had come to this?

If they could see their own actions so clearly, they would have arrested him long ago if they wanted to.

It would be better to see what they're really up to.

The moment the red button was pressed, a deafening explosion erupted in the 57th district behind him, startling Chen Bei.

Looking back, somewhere in the city, it looked as if a giant fire mushroom had been hit by a high-altitude artillery shell.

"What the hell... the city's been blown up?!"

Qian Feng, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded, as were everyone in the car, including Chen Bei.

Simply causing trouble in a city would result in a chain of arrests, let alone instigating a riot in the city, let alone blowing up the city!

Bombing the city is no longer just a provocation against a single district; it's like pointing your finger at the upper district and cursing it.

And at such a sensitive time, close to the day of the inspection...

Chen Bei's face was grim. The massive riot caused everyone at the city gate to rush over, all assuming it was Chen Bei who had caused it. No one expected that he had already left the city.

This move covered up some of the less detailed aspects of the previous operation, but Chen Bei also knew that he was in trouble.

We're in big trouble!

A madman who was causing a city-wide bombing forced Chen Bei to join his gang.

Putting aside the fact that his information as a resurrected individual needs to be kept secret, what else could this kind of person possibly do next? Why would he bomb the city? There must be a large network of people involved behind the scenes.

"This letter was also given to me by my master to deliver to you. Once you have it, we will take our leave."

"By the way, my master's name is... Harry Davis."

My head buzzed. Where have I seen the name Harry Davis before?

Chen Bei quickly recalled, the image in his mind freezing on that poster.

[Attendees: 3000 (Boss Harry Davis was present)]

It's that Englishman, the owner of Utopia!

Was this guy a failed art student before?

Chen Bei opened the envelope; there were only a few lines of text on it at first.

[Dear winner of the challenge, congratulations on winning this challenge's prize. However, this prize is not the third-generation injectable shown on the poster, but rather the fourth-generation one, which is still in the experimental stage.]

Upon seeing the first line, Chen Bei's vision went black. So many crimes punishable by death were piled up together; it would be difficult for him not to die.

Although most of these resurrected people in the city are already in a state of near-death, he needs to hide his identity now!

The fourth-generation injectable drug is not yet stable, and its effects are not manifested in the awakening of the genetic lock. Scientists have discovered that in addition to the genetic lock, humans also possess a higher-dimensional power—the soul.

[It has long been rumored that the soul weighs 7 grams. Current scientific theory only states that the weight of each person's soul is different, ranging from 6 to 9 grams. It is integrated with the body and genes and slowly dissipates after death. The specific details are still unknown...]

The abilities of the soul are still unknown. The vague information I have obtained suggests that it may resonate with other souls, including but not limited to seeing the complete body of a fragmented soul creature, fragments of its influence before and after death, and sensing the location of target soul fragments...

[Read and burn]

Chen Bei finished reading the envelope, his gaze somewhat vacant.

He stuffed the letter into his pocket and walked back to the car in a daze.

I saw the complete form of a creature with a fragmented soul.

Multi-breed crocodile.

Fragments of influence before and after death.

Dune Wings.

Sensing the location of the target's soul fragment.

Sea Eagle.

And all of this, his own brain disease, those white spots in his eyes, all came from his soul.

This mysterious and enigmatic thing, which humanity has not been able to accurately verify for millions of years, has now appeared.

Moreover, it was something that actually happened to him.

Incredible.

Chen Bei was somewhat bewildered for a moment, as it would be difficult for him to figure out the way of the soul on his own.

This phenomenon only appeared after the first genetic lock was unlocked, and after a full three years, it only started to play a role by accident a few days ago.

"Chen Bei, are you alright?"

Inside the car, Ye Zhixue asked.

The group looked at Chen Bei, their eyes filled with varying degrees of worry.

Chen Bei nodded, indicating that the other party was alright, and his mind was completely focused on the letter.

How exactly should this soul be used? Why can't some beings see or sense it?

What are the possible causes of headaches?

Chen Bei took out the injection, and when he looked up, he found that everyone's eyes were still on him.

"Dr. Zhou, please take a look at this letter. I would like to have this injection administered."

Chen Bei made his decision and handed over the letter.

The others gathered around Dr. Zhou, watching with wide, staring eyes.

Instead, only Dr. Zhou frowned. "This stuff is too risky. If you injected it in a lab, you'd have equipment to test it, but here..."

"I can't wait to go back to the basement. It must have taken a lot of effort to make this thing. Bringing this into the upper city is like carrying a bomb into the police station."

Chen Bei spoke up, saying that this was the truth, and unlike those three AI androids, which could be safely stored away just because someone offered to store them, this thing would definitely be stolen.

Dr. Zhou's brows furrowed deeper as he weighed the risks involved.

"Then give it a try. Anyway, it's still two days' journey to District 9. The reaction should be completed in two days. We'll stay here and watch over you."

Chen Bei took a deep breath, opened the sealed bag of the injection, and slowly inserted the needle.
