Chapter 102 Target

"Brother Du!"

Wang Yu waved and jogged over.

"Has it been resolved?"

"Okay." Du Wang looked at Ji Kou, "You should go back first. Rita will be taken to the hospital, and you'll be able to see her once she's stabilized."

Seeing so many police officers at the scene, Ji Kou knew it wasn't appropriate for her to stay there, so she nodded and returned to her car.

Du Wang then turned to General Cat: "The demons have been dealt with, but a wild superhuman was hiding on the 11th floor, trying to steal the relics."

General Cat nodded, his eyes full of surprise.

He hadn't expected that Du Wang could deal with the demons so quickly after being besieged by the chess organization.

"Go back to the investigation department first, Captain Chen is looking for you."

"Okay." Du Wang handed the scene over to the two of them, got into the logistics staff's car, and returned to the investigation department.

The investigation department was brightly lit.

Upon seeing Du Wang, Chen Qingyao immediately called him into her office.

"We have identified who attacked you."

"Who is it?"

"It's the Ink Camp of the Chess Organization."

Chen Qingyao explained, "There were three people who attacked you. The first one was named Zeng Zi'ang. His natal spirit is Ya Huzi, who is skilled at controlling the behavior of others through paper cutting."

His code name in the Mo camp was Mo Bing.

"Mo Bing?"

Chen Qingyao: "In addition to the chariots, horses, elephants, and cannons, chess also has pawns, which are divided into five ranks: A, B, C, D, and E."

"Each one is a Tier 2 transcendent, and even Mo Jia is a Tier 3 transcendent."

"They specialize in assassinations and are very secretive. I never expected them to target you this time."

Du Wang nodded: "What about the others?"

"The one who made a move after Mo Bing should be the newly joined Mo Pao, who is Tier 1. Based on your description, his ability should be used through a slingshot."

"And the woman who can fly and exert pressure with her elephant feet is the Ink Elephant."

"She doesn't act often and is very secretive. The authorities have no clue about her true identity."

After revealing the identities of these people, Chen Qingyao took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, if anyone else were to encounter such a deadly situation, even the most brilliant strategist like Kui Xing might not be able to escape alive."

She looked at Du Wang with a complicated expression.

Du Wang asked in confusion, "Why would they want to kill me? Even if the Red Cannons were defeated by me, shouldn't that be the Red Camp's problem?"

Chen Qingyao crossed her arms: "In the chess organization, the Red Camp and the Black Camp are like the sun and the moon, one bright and one dark."

"Many unsolved cases were fabricated by the Mexican camp."

"They just didn't expect your abilities to be even more troublesome than they anticipated."

Du Wang suddenly realized.

"So for the time being, you need to avoid going on missions alone. If there are any missions, I will be there with you."

Chen Qingyao decisively said, "If we encounter this situation again, it will be a perfect opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Du Wang sensed the importance that Captain Chen placed on him.

"Also, now that you've advanced to Tier 2, there's something I can tell you."

Chen Qingyao said earnestly, "Because the number of deaths in the mobile unit has increased, the investigation department is expanding its recruitment and plans to set up several sub-teams in each region."

"Is the situation that serious?" Du Wang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, in the past month, the South City Descent Incident Investigation Department has seen six superhumans die, far exceeding the death rate of the previous quarter."

Chen Qingyao's expression was grave: "To cope with the increasingly frequent occurrences of these descent events, we must increase our manpower."

"But then we won't have enough captains."

"Therefore, the department is planning to change the original structure and have Level 2 superhumans take on the role of squad leaders ahead of time, leading other superhumans to handle affairs."

Chen Qingyao looked at the young man in front of her and said, "As for Mobile Team 1, we believe that besides Kui Xing, you are the most suitable person to be the squad leader."

Du Wang was surprised by their high regard and asked doubtfully, "There are other Tier 2 members in the Mobile Squad, and they have more seniority than me."

"It is precisely because of their long tenure that we believe they are unsuitable."

Team Leader Chen explained, "Currently, Mobile Team 1 has a total of 5 Rank 2 members. Kui Xing and Cu Yu go without saying. Cat General is a loner with a rather solitary personality. Fei Hong has collected all the relics and is working hard to advance to Rank 3. Although Wan Yue has already advanced to Rank 2..."

She is of high rank, but her personality is not assertive enough, and she may not be able to win people's respect.

"This position would have been best suited for Liu Qiang; he's good at mentoring newcomers and has the necessary experience."

"But he died on the mission—"

Captain Chen took a deep breath: "So, taking everything into consideration, we believe you are the best candidate to serve as the squad leader in the future. You meet the requirements in terms of merit, ability, and personality."

Du Wang suddenly realized.

Then I was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

He had only been working in the investigation department for a little over a month when he unexpectedly became a candidate for squad leader.

Life is truly unpredictable.

However, this is a good thing for him.

Because the squad leader definitely has more authority and more knowledge of mythology than ordinary team members.

Perhaps this opportunity will even allow us to participate in the conquest of the Immortal's Dojo.

Thinking of this, he asked, "When were the detachments established?"

"There are probably still two months left. During this time, just continue with the same tasks as before."

Du Wang agreed.

"There's one more thing."

Chen Qingyao lowered her voice: "There is still one month left before the forecast for the Immortal Dojo. The mobile team will devote more manpower to searching for the entrance to the dojo."

"But if we can't find it, once the forecast comes out, other cities will each send a group of elite team members to provide support."

"At that time, Nancheng will also select an elite team to cooperate with them in conquering the Immortal Dojo."

"This team is expected to have 8 members for the time being, and they will be selected from various mobile teams."

"I hope you can join this team too."

"This will be very beneficial for your future development."

"So don't slack off lately, train more, and I'll assign you more tasks so you can quickly gain experience."

The biggest advantage of being in a mobile squad is that you don't have to worry about gaining experience points.

If they so desire, the authorities can readily cultivate dozens of Tier 2 transcendents through mentorship programs or by issuing targeted missions.

However, this kind of forced growth is not conducive to the development of extraordinary individuals.

Team Leader Chen and others were also unwilling to train a group of people who only had rank but no experience.

However, for someone as capable as Du Wang, this kind of forced growth can actually allow him to skip the useless accumulation stage and grow directly.

Du Wang nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, Captain Chen."

As he walked out of the office, he realized that changes were quietly taking place in the South City Investigation Department.

As the countdown to the Immortal's Dojo continues, people throughout the city, both openly and secretly, are restless and uneasy.

Storm is coming.

Du Wang picked up his phone and glanced at it.

Thanks to today's assassination and demons, the account "Double Pupils" has jumped from 148th to 109th place, and is about to enter the top 100.

But that's far from enough.

If he wanted to join the elite team that would conquer the Immortal's Dojo a month later, Du Wang estimated that he would need to be ranked at least in the top fifty, or even the top thirty, to be considered qualified.

After all, the competitors he was facing were among the top in Nancheng.

Despite some pressure, Du Wang felt even more excited.

Because he had finally found a way to participate in the immortal's dojo, all he had to do next was to keep running along that path.

"Top 30 in one month."

He silently recited this goal in his mind.
