"So you went to Shenjiang." An Xin's tone was not questioning.

An Ran opened her eyes wide and looked at her sister. She seemed to know everything. The two looked at each other with a strange attraction that concealed the love in their hearts.

"Yes, how did you know?"

"Zero told me that something unusual happened in Shenjiang in the early morning. A thick fog completely enveloped the central area. That area blocked all satellites, and the strange magnetic field affected the communications of surrounding cities."⑧

An Xin took out her phone to check.

"But at about six o'clock the fog dissipated and everything returned to normal, except... there was a dilapidated ship that seemed to be carrying the soul of the dead."

Her sister showed her the picture on her phone. An Ran was a little unconvinced at first, but the appearance of the ship was too unbelievable and completely consistent with her memory.

Just like an old ship in a movie that has been submerged in the sea for a long time, the Wing Seeker has completely decayed. The entire ship is pitch black and severely damaged.

It should have been eaten by Shang and merged into one, and now it is floating quietly in the water in the photo.

"When the people in the Research Department learned about this, they expressed great interest, so they brought a group of people to investigate, and the Operations Section Chief Zhou Bowen had to go with them."

"What about An Xiao? Didn't Zhou Bowen take her on an internship?"

An Ran just then remembered that she seemed to have a sister who was left at home. The driver and his parents lived in another house, and they lived separately.

"Intern executives also need to rest, and An Xiao is considering moving out recently. She feels that her home is too far from the Countermeasures Bureau. Recently, Lao Zhang has been picking up and dropping off dad for social events."

An Xin checked the time on her phone and moved her eyes to the door.

"Let's go eat first. We can talk about anything after we eat."

Chapter 97 Lunch

It was a very small private room with the velvet curtains closed and the dim light coming from only one candle. It was a rather interesting candlelight dinner.

Lunch to be exact.

The dining table was round and not very big, and could hold up to six plates of food, with a bottle of wine in the middle. A row of servants stood in the corridor outside the door.

An Ran sat on the right. She listened to the heartbeats of the servants outside the door and withdrew her doubts.

"Why do you do this in the middle of the day?"

An Xin poured some wine. Fortunately, the alcohol content of this bottle of wine was not high, so An Ran took it from her sister with confidence.

"The hotel manager designed this. He thinks you are my girlfriend and wants to please you. Can't he see this little trick?"

My sister also poured herself half a cup, but did not drink it. She picked up a crisp little black fish with a silver fork and put it into her mouth to chew.

“But I think this is good.”

An Ran glanced over. She did not deny what An Xin's girlfriend said. She picked up the chopsticks and opened the silver plate out of boredom.

"What is this?" Her eyes lit up.

What was on the plate was not the real signature dish, but a bunch of small red flowers. I picked up the petals and took a bite, and it had a very familiar taste.

"Is this... Devouring Sorrow?"

"I think it must taste good to you." My sister did not deny it.

An Ran took a deep breath. This was the first time she had seen the Devouring Sorrow sliced ​​into slices and cooked into a dish, but that didn't stop her from finishing it all.

If curious researchers were asked to describe the original taste of Devouring Sorrow, it would be rotten raw mushrooms.

For her, it is delicious fried cauliflower with meat, but the texture is softer and sometimes tastes like boiled black fungus.

"Where did you get the Devouring Sorrow?" An Ran asked while eating, not forgetting to swallow a sip of wine.

"The Research Department collected a lot of Devouring Sorrow to make the next batch of Sorrow A improved Devouring Weapons, so I took some of them."

"Won't the people in the Research Department get suspicious?"

"Zero is covering for us, and can use many names...Would you like to listen to music?"

"I don't like listening to music while eating."

What An Ran said was true. She hated hearing any noises in her ears when she ate, and she would remain silent even when the tentacles were biting and eating.

The development of a topic will always come to an end, but the opportunity for ending it is the completion of the purpose. She knew that her sister would ask about what happened in the early morning, so she took the initiative to tell her.

"In the early morning... You know I have an independent tentacle that split off, which is the worm. It suddenly called me. I felt very wronged. Can you imagine how a lonely little monster feels? I couldn't refuse and went over."

"I know." An Xin nodded and indicated to continue.

"I came to a ship through the mirror, the one in the photo on your phone. I heard twelve heartbeats, one of which was hiding underneath. I never saw her from beginning to end."

An Ran recalled the details. This time there was no blank in her mind and her memory was exceptionally clear.

"There was a man wearing a captain's uniform, the remaining nine were sailors, and at the end there was a strange old man, who was Shang's host, to be exact, but he had no idea."

"So their target is the little bugs?" An Xin pointed out with full concentration.

"I shouldn't have shown up because of the giant monster under the river, but they have my blood on them. The blood attracted it, and it called me."

"Although I know it's a coincidence after hearing it, it's still too much of a coincidence. You said that old man is Shang's boarder?" An Xin's eyes were calm after hearing Shang.

Although I knew that my sister was not unfamiliar with Shang, I didn't expect that she had no reaction at all after hearing about Shang.

But she nodded anyway, chewing the meat slices. The other four plates on the table were opened, and they contained normal dishes, steaming hot.

"Yeah, he thought I was Shang, and wanted to use my power to get rid of the control of another Shang. Oh, by the way, they are from the Alphabet Organization, and the old man is called Wu Shijiu."

"I've never heard of this person." My sister shook her head.

"That captain is called Cage, the leader of the Storm Organization. You should know him. I have some impression of the former King of Half-Sorrow. That fake Half-Sorrow who was close to the SSS level was the strongest alien in the third zone after the death of the Fallen Angel."

"He calls himself the King of Half Death."

The elder sister calmly corrected the mistake. To her, it didn’t matter whether it was half-sang or not, but this fake half-sang should have died in her hands.

"He should have been dead, but I didn't find his body. I guess he was resurrected by some means." She narrated slowly.

An Ran looked at her sister disapprovingly and said:

"The word 'resurrection' is too confusing. I think it means lingering on. Anyway, I need the old man's information. He is willing to serve me."

"Do you really think of yourself as Shang?" the sister was surprised.

"What's wrong with that? He said that Shang was in a very bad condition. My phagocytes told me that the old man was not lying. I thought I could control the situation."

This time the elder sister did not speak. The sisters looked at each other and An Ran continued to speak.

"I did force out that beast, but it was only half of its body. The other half is in the abandoned church outside of Shanshu City. I didn't defeat it."

Although the story was extremely brief, it contained a lot of information. An Ran looked at her sister, and An Xin seemed a little nonchalant.

She took two sips of red wine before slowly asking:

"What's with that thick fog on the river?"

"I don't know what happened to you, it's very likely that Shang is the one behind this."

An Ran did not tell the truth. Even though she sincerely hoped that she would not lie to her sister again, she did not dare to say anything about the field.

This ability exceeds the limits of alien species. Unless it is Shang, it can only be Shang. She knows that she is a monster, but she hopes that she is not born a monster.

My sister chose to believe it without hesitation. She nodded slightly and showed a long-lost smile, as if to say don’t worry, everything will be over.

An Ran nodded suddenly for no reason. She felt a little cold. She took a shower and changed into lighter clothes before coming here.

"I will investigate this matter, and I hope you can believe me. You are my sister, and that Shang will definitely pay the price he deserves."

The elder sister raised her glass to signal the girl. Her strong words made people dazed. She was obviously smiling, but there was a cold white light like a blade in her eyes.

An Ran also raised his glass, but there was only a little wine left in it.

"By the way, sis... sis."

She did not address him as "sister" as usual, but expressed her doubts.

"Then what about the chef who made this dish?"

Looking at the dish that had been cleaned up in front of him, the dish made with the Devouring Sorrow would definitely make the chef suspicious and would not be so easy to fool.

An Xin chuckled.

"Sister, please put your trust in me."

Chapter 98 Surveillance Diary

[2047.4.30. No abnormalities were observed in the early morning. The relationship between the sisters suddenly warmed up. They had lunch in the Whale Hotel’s premium box at noon. It was impossible to observe in depth...]

50 meters away from the Whale Hotel, the general manager's office is on the seventh floor of Wanyiba Building.

Putting down her pen, she closed her diary.

The windshield window was open outwards. Gu Zhilan leaned the table against the side, crouched over it and used a telescope to monitor the hotel opposite, muttering some complaints.

"Why are you drawing the curtains... I can't see anything."

Gu Zhilan was fulfilling the task assigned to her by the flower shop organization, monitoring An Ran at all times and reporting to her superiors. This task had lasted for almost half a month.

Next to the half-moon table, a burly man was tied up with tape on his mouth. He closed his eyes and fainted. The ID card 002 around his neck indicated his identity.

In order to choose the best surveillance location, Gu Zhilan disguised herself as an intern and sneaked through the Wanmai Building's security system and found her way to the general manager's office, which was an excellent location opposite the Whale Hotel's premium box.

The moment he pushed the door open, the man was stunned when he saw the strange girl. He obviously did not expect someone to walk in so brazenly without knocking.

If it were just that, Gu Zhilan would just knock the man unconscious instead of wasting time tying him up meaninglessly.

Because the moment the two looked at each other, the man reacted quickly and took out a gun from the drawer. It was obvious that there were no good people in the Wanmai Building.

She was no longer a quasi-executive officer, but a trainee executive officer. She had completed several missions with several seniors, and when faced with such a situation, she simply drew her gun and shot.

To be honest, the trainee executive officer does not have a gun, but when Shang B's Devouring Weapon is deployed, it becomes a gun, shooting bullets composed of phagocytes that can paralyze humans and alien species.

Even though the man fell into a coma, Gu Zhilan was still worried, so she spent nearly five minutes looking for a rope in the office to tie him up.

It is indeed unbelievable that there is thick hemp rope in the general manager's office.

There is a fresh breeze outside the window.

I took a deep breath and saw a window through the telescope. A swan blue velvet curtain blocked the view inside, and only a tiny gap allowed me to see the candlelight.

Gu Zhilan looked at the diary in her hand, wondering what she wanted to write.

Suddenly the curtain was lifted a little bit. She squinted her eyes and stared intently, only to see the girl looking at the world outside the window with curiosity.

Opposite the girl, Director An Xin was smiling and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.

"That's...good..."

Gu Zhilan couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little jealous, but she didn't know who she was jealous of. Maybe it was An Ran, but was she really worthy of being jealous of this little monster?

Suddenly, sand blew in from the window, stinging her eyes. Gu Zhilan shook her head, rubbed her eyes, picked up the pen, opened her diary again and wrote:

[The little monster is not at risk of losing control. The store manager's worries are completely unnecessary. If he still goes crazy even with the person he cares about the most, I think the specific reason can only be loss. The little monster who has lost everything is unstoppable, just like the grayness behind the thin rain curtain. 】V

Gu Zhilan nodded her head in satisfaction as she looked at the diary. She was actually quite good at writing diaries and liked to add some embellished words.

She has many classified diaries, and this one is dedicated to recording her surveillance and feelings about the little monster. She grits her teeth every time she writes.

I'm really envious.

Suddenly, she heard a noise at her feet. She was slightly startled. The general manager actually woke up, opened his eyes, and the first thing he did was to crawl out without any hesitation.

This is almost impossible!

Gu Zhilan realized that something was wrong. Normal humans would fall asleep for at least half a day after being hit by a Type B Devouring Weapon. Only alien species had a stronger resistance.

She ran over and kicked the man in the waist, causing him to roll over and hit the sofa.

"You! Who are you? Let me go!" The man gasped, his waist was sore and painful from the kick.

He was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked rather angry and quickly looked at the girl approaching him and the surveillance equipment on the table.

"You are the executive, right? You forcibly occupied my office and illegally imprisoned me. I am going to complain to you!" The man smiled with some pride.

Are you proud of your correct guess?

Gu Zhilan remained silent. This was originally just a simple surveillance and she didn't want to get into trouble, especially since the other party was the general manager of Wanmai Building.

For the executive, complaints affect the selection and promotion, but for her, the selection and promotion are not important. What is important is to complete the flower shop task perfectly.

If there is a complaint, the Internal Affairs Department team of the Intelligence Division will certainly come to investigate, knowing that they will be suspicious when conducting surveillance.

Seeing that the girl was reluctant to speak, the man did not press on. He forced himself to calm down because he saw hesitation in the girl's eyes.

He cannot force it at a time like this. He has experienced too much and cannot look down on anyone. Often, it will be the god of death who will reap the fruits of his recklessness.
