After the armored vehicle was dealt with, military reinforcements quickly arrived and established a security line to recover the armored vehicle assembled by the Viper Organization. Initially, there was a suggestion to hand over the personnel issues to the police, but Jiao An and Qin Weishan strongly opposed this. "Their background and motives are highly suspicious, and the biggest problem lies in the weapons they used," Jiao An said, holding up the laser weapon she had taken from the armored vehicle for everyone at the scene to see. "I have been in the intelligence field for many years and have never seen firearms that I don't even recognize. Where did they get this support? It's a significant issue that could even involve international terrorism. I believe military involvement is necessary in this operation. Let's temporarily detain these criminals at the base; we need to get to the bottom of this."
The police officer in charge approved the transfer of the criminals, and the five individuals who were knocked unconscious inside the armored vehicle were escorted to the Military Base in City S.
The next day at the interrogation room of Military Base in City S:
"Jiao An, although your motorcycle only had a flat tire, promise me that in the future, matters like this should be handled by someone like me, Qin Weishan."
"What, do you think a sniper should be sneaking up behind you with a cold gun?"
"Uh, that's not what I meant..."
Jiao An and Qin Weishan appeared behind the glass outside the Interrogation room, while General Wang had been standing with his hands behind his back for some time, looking at the bound prisoner in the Interrogation room. According to the investigation information provided by the police, this person about to be interrogated is the mastermind behind the recent major robbery case.
"Hey!"
A stern shout jolted the drowsy criminal, who looked around in panic at the two serious soldiers in the interrogation room. He tried to move, but his hands were still tied behind his back.
"Name?"
"Um..." he asked in confusion, "Didn't we already ask that?"
"I'm asking you a question!" the soldier snapped, without any courtesy.
"Hmph, Li Jie."
"Age?"
"Thirty-four."
...
While they were checking their identities for the second time, Qin Weishan touched Jiao An and asked, "Why didn't we capture all the robbers on the car and take them to the base?"
"Because this person is special," Jiao An replied.
"You are the organizer of this operation, right?" the soldier asked him.
Li Jie nodded silently.
"So what is the real purpose of your operation this time? Repeat it again, what is the real purpose?"
"To obtain documents related to biotechnology," Li Jie answered as if trying to sound casual. "We don't have any computer skills, so we can only do it this way."
"Well then, with such advanced equipment, like the laser energy firearms in your hands and the AMV model military armored vehicles you assembled yourselves, how do you explain that?" The interrogating soldier got straight to the point. "Are you connected to the Viper Organization? Is there a hidden force supporting you?"
Li Jie surprisingly shook his head and said, "No comment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the interrogation room was violently slammed open by the furious Qin Weishan, who took a few strides directly to Li Jie, grabbed his collar, and shouted in his face, "Who do you think you are? Are you trying to mess with us?!"
"I won't speak, what can you do? Miss Strongwoman? Hahaha..." Li Jie remained surprisingly calm, smiling at the raised fist of Qin Weishan. "I know, I know it all, but how do you expect me to say it? With your brute force alone?"
"Damn it!" Qin Weishan, filled with rage, grabbed Li Jie along with the chair with her right hand and delivered a heavy punch to Li Jie's eye socket. Li Jie grunted, falling to the ground along with the chair, glancing around with bruised eyes, continuing to look at Qin Weishan with disdain, then coughed a few times.
"Weishan, step back, don't act impulsively." Jiao An entered the interrogation room and pulled Qin Weishan back. Qin Weishan gritted her teeth, but could do nothing, following Jiao An back to the corner of the room. Li Jie was helped up by the soldier in charge of the interrogation, and the interrogation continued.
"Ouch, that really hurts..." Li Jie’s left eye was already swollen. "Forget it, I'll say a little bit to avoid getting beaten up more, right?"
"Be serious!" Qin Weishan shouted sternly. "If you honestly confess, we can handle this with leniency."
"Alright—first, let me ask you a question. If I say that there is infiltration of extraterrestrial civilizations in the world today, would you believe it?"
Qin Weishan thought he was still toying with him. The person about to rush forward was stopped by Jiao An, who gestured for Li Jie to continue speaking.
Seeing that the person in front of him did not express any opinion, Li Jie could only proceed: "Let me first explain our plan: these weapons were obtained through communication with a mysterious black market that we only interacted with online. They only signed a contract with us but did not provide actual supplies. According to him, these are the latest laser energy guns, model BM-2*8, bare guns without accessories. The armored vehicle was modified by the Viper Organization, and they lent it to us—"
"Mysterious black market?" Jiao An asked. "So, it seems that the mastermind behind your operation is not just from the Viper Organization."
"Perhaps, none of us know whether this black market is related to Viper, but one thing is certain: I can provide basic evidence later. A month ago, the leader of Viper placed a high-priced order with our gang, stating that they were offering high-end armored vehicles. The task was to help them pull off a job in City S, attacking the archives of a biotechnology company in City S and taking all the documents inside. He said that the company's top commercial secrets were all backed up on paper and demanded that we complete it today, which means... we only have a day and a half. If we succeed, we will receive a bounty of four million."
"So what do you know about the mysterious black market and weapons you mentioned earlier?" a soldier asked while taking notes.
"This..." Li Jie glanced at Qin Weishan's fist and swallowed hard.
"I swear, I really don't know anything anymore. And later, those firearms that I specifically requested all appeared in the transferred armor vehicle! I know very well that Viper is just using us as pawns to test the military and police, and it's obvious that they are connected to the Cyber black market. Oh, right..."
Li Jie suddenly remembered something and abruptly stopped, hesitating as he looked at the Interrogation soldier who had finished taking notes.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember the question I posed to you? Now I have nothing left to hide. Let's put it this way: we people who navigate the darker paths of society have more or less heard some whispers."
Alien civilization? Qin Weishan and Jiao An exchanged a glance.
"Whether you believe it or not, there are indeed rumors that the Viper Organization has engaged in weapons deals with aliens, and their bargaining chip is biological technology data."
"Stop talking nonsense! Do you think we are children?!" Qin Weishan shouted.
This time, Li Jie actually faced Qin Weishan directly, a twisted expression on his face that sent a chill down the spine: "Of course not, but how do you explain the hostages captured by the Viper Organization? There’s no sign of them—no living witnesses, no bodies. How could successful people like you, who bask in the sunlight, possibly bother to look down and observe the shadows?"
In that instant, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone fell silent.
General Wang said to the soldier on the communicator, "Let him continue."
"Continue," the soldier replied.
Li Jie stated, "Two months ago—before the Shengfeng Village incident—there were frequent sightings of unidentified figures in forests across the country. Some said they were undiscovered wild men, while others claimed they were P-related. Coincidentally, during this time, the Viper Organization, with whom we often collaborate, suddenly intensified their network information theft related to biotechnology. Subsequently, there were occasional reports of disappearances in remote areas, but these unsubstantiated news stories quickly faded away. However, my brothers and I speculated—could it be that all these events are connected? Because first and foremost, we understand Viper better than any dark web organization; we are basically aware of their actions. From the timeline perspective, the mysterious dissection case exposed by an employee at the pharmaceutical technology company under the Wang family, one of the eight major families in the country, coincided perfectly with our current strange task, which falls right between the appearance of wild man photos and the biotechnology network security battle. If this is truly a coincidence, it would be like a tornado lifting a pile of steel and assembling them into a car."
You should also know that the main base of the Viper Organization is hidden in a forest somewhere in the country. If there really are aliens in that forest, is it possible for them to meet? And about the weapons sold to us at low prices on the Cyber Black Market, if they are truly the models they claim, then why don't they know the specifications when I ask? Believe me, your military network won't find these firearm models either. The laser guns we have are not even close to what they claim; you can tell just by looking at them.
After saying this, Li Jie slumped back into his chair, feeling as if he had completed a significant life event. A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye as he trembled and pleaded, "As one approaches death, their words become sincere. I have provided you with so much information; allow me to make a small request."
Qin Weishan looked at Li Jie's resolute and sorrowful expression, loosening his tightly clenched fingers. The fist that had been raised in front of his chest slowly lowered.
"Lighten the punishment for my little brothers; they have it tough too. Give them a chance to start over. I think if it really is aliens, then it's not just a matter for your military and police, but for the entire nation, even the whole world. This is my last bit of conscience. Anyway... I'm definitely facing the death penalty, and I've said what I needed to say, right?
Alright, hurry up and send me to prison; I want to see my brothers."
Half a month later
An Xiaotian officially joined the Superhero Alliance without any announcements or celebrations. The news of his selection was kept confidential by General Wang and others. During this time, in order to help him adapt to the physical strength required to control the armor, Qin Weishan was assigned by superiors to act as a mentor and conduct intense physical training with An Xiaotian. When Qin Weishan first saw An Xiaotian, he even doubted whether the kid's achievements were fabricated—he thought that a man who could enter the Superhero Alliance should have a robust physique like his own. However, apart from standing straight, An Xiaotian did not possess any particularly outstanding physical advantages. This made Qin Weishan initially worry that he might be too harsh on him as his personal trainer. But after some time of adjustment, he discovered that An Xiaotian's physical foundation was not bad at all, and his willpower was exceptionally strong; he could withstand various pressures imposed by Qin Weishan. Gradually, Qin Weishan began to see An Xiaotian in a new light, and today was their day for one-on-one combat training.
Base Director Center Parking Lot
Before starting the car, General Wang made a phone call on purpose.
"General! What are your orders?"
Qin Weishan held the communicator to his ear with one hand, while the other dismantled the punch thrown by An Xiaotian in a mechanical manner.
"Seventeen days have passed, are you two having fun?" General Wang turned the steering wheel to twelve o'clock and headed towards the exit of the council center.
Qin Weishan glanced at the young man who seemed to be following the textbook to the letter in his boxing technique. Although he saw numerous flaws in him, An Xiaotian was indeed learning quite well. Moreover, An Xiaotian's willpower had also received genuine approval from Qin Weishan - no breaks in between, knocked down by himself nearly thirty times, and still able to throw such a fierce punch.
"This kid is not bad," Qin Weishan commented, and then took the opportunity to grab An Xiaotian's fist, not prying it open or letting An Xiaotian break free. "Well, that's good. He is the successor I handpicked. Weishan, train him well, take him to the Illusion test device and the real VR training room more often," General Wang instructed before hanging up the phone. After Qin Weishan hung up, he released An Xiaotian's hand. An Xiaotian's sharpness remained undiminished, and he launched another strong attack, a left punch directly targeting Qin Weishan's upper body. Qin Weishan used a simple wrist push to counter, instinctively followed by a leg sweep, causing An Xiaotian to fall halfway before being supported by Qin Weishan again.
"Why are you..." An Xiaotian took Qin Weishan's hand and stood up.
"We are all brothers in the special forces squad, no need for that," Qin Weishan kindly patted his shoulder. "Besides, it's my first time taking on a disciple, I can't be too harsh."
The sunlight outside the window poured through the glass onto half of the training mat. Watching Qin Weishan turn to get water from the training bag, An Xiaotian's eyebrows slowly furrowed.
Fengta Biotechnology Center, Laboratory 412
General Wang hesitated for a moment before stepping into the room—the floor was so pristine white that he didn't know where to place his military boots. Dr. Li Huihong greeted him warmly; it was he who had invited General Wang to visit, though it was more than just a tour. There was something he needed to discuss with General Wang in person, something he felt he couldn't explain without his presence.
"Weren't those reagent needles I gave you for that project?" General Wang asked, glancing around at the immaculate equipment.
"Oh! We were just talking about this yesterday. Please follow me."
The two of them arrived at the office, where Dr. Li's desk was in complete disarray, with various documents haphazardly piled together. However, he was able to accurately pull out the report he needed.
"Trust me, General, you will understand."
How is that possible? General Wang picked it up and took a look: indeed, whether it was the component analysis or the final conclusion, there were only two words—unknown.
"General, as per your request, we disassembled a reagent needle and divided it into five groups for extraction and sample analysis of the liquid inside. But strangely, aside from the most basic hydroxide, this substance does not contain any elements found on Earth. Are you sure this is a medication from the hospital?"
General Wang Looking at the words "unknown," Li Jie's testimony once again echoed in his ears. As tears fell from the corner of Li Jie's eyes, in his line of sight, the faintly blue eyes of Liu Xuan appeared unconsciously.
"Liu Xuan..."
"Who is Liu Xuan?" Dr. Li asked, leaning forward.
Ten minutes later, in the Level One lockdown area, Room 818.
"Hello?"
"Do you still remember how to contact us? It's been a month, and the deadline we originally agreed upon has been postponed repeatedly by you. What exactly have you been busy with?"
Liang Muqi looked down at Tsongtsong, which also raised its head to look at him, a smile appearing on the screen beneath its eyes. Tsongtsong did not understand human affairs; it always thought of itself as the owner's good friend and could not comprehend what its owner was truly doing.
"The controller of the Fierce Eagle Armor has changed. I just finished dealing with his matters not long ago, and for a while, I couldn't get away. Moreover, that group of lackeys you supported exposed my identity. Now the police are hunting for this person who can contact the weapon dealer across the internet, including your so-called 'safe' dark web. I haven't even counted this against you yet!"
"Enough! Our boss has a request: before you leave, destroy the Fierce Eagle, and then leave today without any further delays."
Liang Muqi shuddered.
"I... when will we meet?"
"An hour later. The Hovercraft has already taken off. We are using the only stealth Hovercraft to pick you up."
"That's absolutely impossible," Liang Muqi said firmly. "There's no time on Time, and I don't have the Fierce Eagle Armor with me. Does he really want me to leave today?"
"What else can you do? How long are you going to drag this out?"
Liang Muqi hesitated without answering. He was reluctant to leave, but he believed it was a choice he had to make. Among humans, there were very few Prophets, and Liang Muqi was one of them. He had always been aware of the Moon People's situation. With intelligence that stood at the pinnacle of humanity, he understood better than anyone what the future of Earth would face. He believed that his abilities should be used in a place with more advanced resources, in order to create equipment truly capable of resisting powerful enemies. The resources currently known to humanity were no longer sufficient for his abilities.
The Viper organization that has been engaging in long-term trade with extraterrestrials has the unknown resources that Liang Muqi desires. It is the most incomprehensible choice made by Liang Muqi to cooperate with them.
"Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, the person from Viper was still confirming whether Liang Muqi had hung up the phone. After Liang Muqi regained his composure, he replied, "Then let's meet in an hour."
As he was about to cut off the quantum shielding switch on his computer, the sound of the pressure valve in the laboratory behind him suddenly dropped. Liang Muqi instantly felt a thunderous sensation throughout his body, as if his chest had been stuffed with cotton, and he stared blankly as Wang Yangchen crossed the threshold, his face pale and grim. Wang Yangchen visited him every weekend, but Liang Muqi hadn't expected today to be so unlucky!
"Yangchen? You, you're not..." Liang Muqi was shocked, but the watch on his wrist had already begun to deform at his will.
"Weapons dealer?" General Wang stepped forward, grabbing Dr. Liang by the collar. "Tell me what weapons you're selling. What kind of weapons can you sell? You're a scientist, why do you have a Cyber black market identity? You clearly know everything, yet you still pretend to be harmless, don't you!"
Liang Muqi gave a bitter smile and allowed Wang Yangchen to press him against the wall, nodding in agreement.
"Why are you doing this! Why? Do you know what you're doing?!" Wang Yangchen couldn't believe that the pillar of the country, who had sworn under the national flag with him and had been his brother for over thirty years, was now betraying him right in front of his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Wang Yangchen," Liang Muqi said with determination. The dial on his watch resembled a tank's turret, with a small barrel extending from the middle, rotating and aiming at Wang Yangchen's abdomen.
"Tell me! Don't force me to take action!" Wang Yangchen had one hand already resting on the grip of the gun at his waist.
"When you can see the future of Earth clearly, you'll understand why I made this choice. Unfortunately, you're not a Prophet and don't know about the turbulent undercurrents happening on Earth," Liang Muqi said with a resolute expression. "I understand my own value better than you do, and I know how to change everything for the future. The great cause of Earth cannot be sacrificed for just our friendship, so I have no choice but to let you go."
Liang Muqi suddenly closed his eyes tightly and clenched his fist...
