Chapter 203: Chapter 118: Zhou Celestial People

“Trainees from other academies?!”

Hu Fei’s body tensed up, and his emotions were clearly somewhat agitated. At this moment, he completely lost consciousness, closed his eyes, and fainted.

…

The Patrol Bureau.

Celestial Strategy meeting room.

This time, Celestial Strategy Academy has sent more than twenty trainees here, but now… there are only two figures in the meeting room.

Gu Xiweng and a female trainee who is operating the computer, summarizing and exchanging information.

At this moment.

The trainee received information from other trainees of the academy, speaking quickly: “Something major happened in Cold Plum City.”

“A classmate discovered a big explosion in the eastern part of Cold Plum City, and the entire city is now under lockdown.”

“Many personnel from the Patrol Bureau are approaching that location.”

“Yuan Shen’s team sent word that it seems the Patrol Bureau took action earlier.”

She relayed the information discovered by the trainees, looking at Gu Xiweng to the side: “What do we do now?”

“Qin Jin and Han Miao from Martial Abyss also seem to no longer be in the Patrol Bureau.”

“The trainees of the Time Law have not shown any trace so far.”

“But it seems the Patrol Bureau has already engaged with the Evil God Sect, and if we don’t get involved, the evaluation of our academy’s mission this time…”

Gu Xiweng got up from his seat, walked to the window, and looked at the busy figures in the Patrol Bureau below, frowning slightly: “This is my problem.”

“I misjudged the progress of the Patrol Bureau.”

“I thought we would have at least a few days of buffer time. If we found anything, we could try to communicate with the Patrol Bureau and thus participate in the core event.”

“But now it seems the Patrol Bureau in Cold Plum City is very capable, their progress exceeded expectations. While we were still preparing, they have already gained a lot and took direct action.”

“After returning to the academy, I will take responsibility for this mission. It’s my judgment that affected everyone, and it won’t affect anyone’s evaluation.”

Having said this.

He strode towards the door.

“Gu Xiweng, where are you going?”

A voice of inquiry sounded from behind.

“The battle has already begun, but whether it will end directly, no one can be sure.”

“I’m going to see if I can salvage our final evaluation.”

“Contact the other classmates, return to the Patrol Bureau. Any action from now on will be a collective action.”

After saying that.

He left the meeting room.

…

The Patrol Bureau.

Director Song Shulin’s expression was solemn as he looked ahead.

In front of him was a panoramic map of the entire Cold Plum City.

At this moment, two places on this map were circled.

One is a lumber processing plant, and the other is the explosion site.

Beside him.

Other personnel were conducting analyses.

“Our understanding of the Esoteric Buddhism ritual is limited.”

“We still cannot determine the connection between these two ritual sites or if they follow any pattern.”

Upon hearing this, Song Shulin said in a deep voice: “In any case, proceed with the assumption that there are other ritual sites.”

“According to the information provided by the Esoteric expert, two of the ritual sites have been destroyed, at least their initial goal can no longer be achieved, giving us an absolute advantage. Since we’ve come this far, let’s strive for a decisive victory, leave no clue unturned, and root them out.”

“Yes!”

A response resounded.

Just then.

A staff member approached and whispered a few words.

Song Shulin raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded: “Let him in.”

Soon after.

A figure entered this place under the guidance of a staff member and came before Song Shulin.

Gu Xiweng.

“Student Gu.”

Song Shulin spoke in a calm tone: “You’ve come to see me now, is there something you need help with?”

“Director Song.”

Gu Xiweng’s voice was neither humble nor pushy: “Let’s speak plainly, I hope to join your staff team to contribute to this operation, and also, other trainees from Celestial Strategy hope to join the action team of the Patrol Bureau to participate in the upcoming actions.”

“Oh?”

Song Shulin’s expression did not change: “Give me a reason.”

“We are from Celestial Strategy Academy.”

Gu Xiweng’s gaze was earnest: “My classmates have the capability to carry out any task you assign.”

“As for me…”

He pointed to his head, his voice devoid of any emotion: “My martial arts talent is at best above average, far from being top-notch. The reason I was able to enter Celestial Strategy and become the commander of this trainee team is because of what’s up here.”

“I believe I can be most effective in the staff team.”

Song Shulin scrutinized him.

The other’s expression was calm, as if stating a fact.

The director of the Patrol Bureau recalled the information he had received about the academy trainees over this period, shaking his head slightly.

“Gu Xiweng.”

“If it were before today, I would have unequivocally refused you.”

“However…”

“The surprise you trainees from a top academy gave me today is too great.”

“I agree with your proposal.”

“Have your classmates return to the bureau, receive equipment. You may have coordination among each other, so you won’t be split up, form your own team, and cooperate with other action teams.”

“As for you…”

Song Shulin pointed to the other end: “Now, join them, and the relevant intelligence will be made available to you for analysis. I hope you can surprise me.”

“Go ahead.”

His voice fell.

But Gu Xiweng did not move.

This general-level student from Celestial Strategy looked at him, a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he had figured something out, and said: “Director Song, has Qin Jin from Martial Abyss come to see you?”
