Chapter 296 Disgusting
"snort……"
Mikael snorted coldly. He was obviously just a single person, but he brought an inexplicable sense of oppression to the officials in the crowd.
The sound of gasping for air could be heard everywhere. Everyone felt that their throats were itchy and dry. The vibrations in their heart continued like a wave, quickly transmitting the heat to the whole body. However, only the limbs felt cold and numb, and the brain felt cold. He also became drowsy due to lack of oxygen.
Their brains were unprecedentedly empty, as if something had taken away all their souls. They were unable to concentrate on any issues at the moment. Even simple and clear questions like "Who is he?" could not stay in their minds. .
Because there is already a dead blank there.
Then, they heard clear and slow footsteps, as if there was a big sword hanging above everyone's head. Every time the footsteps sounded, the big sword dropped downwards. No one dared to look up, so no one dared to look up. I don’t know when the big sword will fall to my head.
This is undoubtedly a great mental torture.
Maybe someone with a strong will has already reacted - who is this person? Why should we be afraid of him?
These people wanted to raise their heads to look at the owner of the footsteps, but when they raised their heads, they saw a man whose face was covered with scars like ravines. That man's eyes were staring at a meaningless blank space in the air, but That gaze seemed to penetrate easily into the hearts of everyone who tried to spy on him.
Then, he grinned, and all the scars squirmed like worms, making those who saw it feel terrified.
With an inexplicable smile on his face, he silently walked up to a tall city mayor. This man had a slender figure, slender limbs, and long golden hair that was quite shiny, but at a glance, it was mixed with a lot of white hair. At least thirty years old. The facial features must be good, and the voice has been heard just now, and it is indeed magnetic, but Mikael doesn't like it, so who can let him say some frivolous and vicious words?
Mikael stopped in front of him, and it was obvious that his body was trembling slightly.
He was afraid. Although he felt that his words should not be heard due to the previous distance, he could not run away with a guilty conscience, let alone under the pressure of Mikael's intentional aura.
Mikael stood in front of him and waited for about ten seconds before he forced out a flattering smile, bowed and raised his head.
When he saw Mikael's terrifying face, his expression couldn't help but froze, but he finally showed his basic bureaucratic qualities and soon said in a more flattering manner:
"Hello, hello, hello! Are you the special commissioner sent by the headquarters to guide the immigration work? Hello, hello, hello!"
He held out his hands to Mikael.
When he saw those green eyes, the corners of Mikael's eyes could not help but twitch twice. Then, he pinched the front of the opponent's right hand without saltiness. When the opponent wanted to surround it with both hands, At this time, he quickly pulled his hand out.
The atmosphere became cold again for a while, but this time, Mikael did not allow the silence to spread:
"Don't think too much."
His words seemed to have a double entendre, but his tone was a bit too cold even though he was clearly expressing concern.
"I'm not the person you want to greet, I'm just her guard."
Hearing this, some stunned young people already showed disapproval. If it weren't for the coercion released by Mikael, they might have shouted and attacked him.
Just a broken security guard, do you deserve it?
But the real veterans have become more respectful - the kid is difficult to deal with, so just give him a thumbs up and that's it!
"This... little brother, don't be so outspoken. As a security guard, you are naturally a member of the guidance team, and of course you are also the one we welcome!"
The unnatural smile on the man's handsome face became brighter and brighter. He stretched out his hand again and said:
"Let's get to know each other again. I am the mayor of the Third New Paradise City, Michael."
"Um?"
Mikael shook hands with him again, but inevitably raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Michael? This name fits your position as the mayor of the Third New Paradise City very well."
"Haha, yes..."
Of course Michael felt uncomfortable being teased like this by a little guard, but even though he was young, his face did not show any dissatisfaction, and he even explained to Mikael without hesitation:
"When I was young, I was ridiculed by my peers because of this name. I never thought that I would become the 'Guardian of Heaven' one day. This is all thanks to Dr. Mei's trust and cultivation. But...if I didn't remember If I’m wrong, the name of the anti-entropy captain who saved mankind several times actually has the same origin as mine, right?”
"Um."
The corners of Mikael's mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Michael narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice and asked:
"Little brother, I wonder if you can tell me how many people are in the special team that came to guide the work this time? I don't mean anything else. It's just that we have to arrange a reception banquet and accommodation, and the headquarters has not provided any information in advance. Isn’t it difficult to arrange our information..."
Was he really just asking about the number of people? It would be too naive to think so.
Rather than saying that he cares about the number of people, what he wants to know is the composition of the entire team.
"There aren't many people."
Mikael smiled, as if he didn't know how terrifying this scarred face looked.
"There is only one...ah, no, besides me, there is another one, Dr. Akagi."
"Dr. Akagi?"
Michael raised his chin. This staff composition is a bit intriguing...
In theory, even if it is a job that is not taken seriously, it is not necessary to send only one special commissioner and one guard to handle it.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the American Immigration Plan is currently the largest and most important plan of the Fire Chaser Moth in the field of people's livelihood. This plan involves the immigration of more than one billion people. If you are not careful, it will cause extremely serious consequences.
Therefore, it is impossible not to pay attention to it, but the headquarters still only sent one doctor. What does this mean?
Michael and his staff colleagues quickly exchanged glances. In fact, there is nothing to think about this kind of thing. Since the headquarters can only send one doctor for such an important issue, plus at most one guard, it means that at least from Dr. Mei's personal point of view, she thinks these two people are enough to deal with all possible situations here.
Well, although they were still mocking Mei not long ago, at least everyone has no opinion on this girl's work ability.
But...
I have never heard of the name "Dr. Akagi"!
Besides, this guard is not ordinary. As soon as he appears, he can suppress hundreds of people present and make them speechless. Such pressure seems to have exceeded the general murderous aura, right? Is he a fusion warrior? No, he must be a fusion warrior, and he should be a strong one.
But there is still that question - how come the two of them... seem to have jumped out of the cracks of the stone? If this "Dr. Akagi" is so capable and is so favored by Mei, he should not be so unknown.
And if she is really capable but lacks qualifications, and is a newcomer just discovered by Mei, Mei will surely not send her alone to carry out the mission, right? At least there must be an experienced person to guide, right?
After pondering for a moment, Michael gritted his teeth, took a half step towards Michael, and asked in a deeper and more flattering voice:
"Little brother, do you have any documents or something like that that can be verified?"
In theory, verifying the documents of the special envoy is a matter of course. But how could the local municipal officials dare to be too serious about these people sent by their superiors to patrol? What if they get angry? Besides, the headquarters usually announces the information of the special commissioners to the local authorities in advance, so there is no need to verify the documents.
But the weird thing this time is that the headquarters did not provide the information of the special commissioners before, so to verify the identity, it is necessary to verify the documents.
After figuring this out, Michael suddenly felt a lot more confident.
"Humph..."
Michael shook his head slightly, "Our identities are special. Please log in to the intranet in person and verify our identities."
Although he felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration, Michael still took the tablet with the logo of the Fire Moth from his staff, and then he left the bureaucratic team, walked to Michael's side, and turned on the identity verification system.
Michael took it casually, but did not verify it. Instead, he switched to the task verification module, quickly entered the task number, and handed it to Michael again.
Michael wanted to get the result, but Michael did not let go.
"This is..."
The first thing that caught my eye was not any text or picture introduction, but a huge logo.
It was not the familiar Fire Moth logo, but an oval shape made of silk, like a silkworm chrysalis.
"Poison chrysalis!"
Mier's face changed immediately.
This organization...is not famous...not infamous...in short, it is a mysterious organization with a wide spread and various legends.
As one of the only two independent organizations under Fire Moth, and the only organization that was once wiped out, its own legendary filter is no worse than Anti-Entropy. Coupled with stricter intelligence control, Poison chrysalis has a stronger sense of mystery than Anti-Entropy.
Mier only knew that this organization was once involved in the internal struggle between Fire Moth and the United Government, and even injured Kevin, whose combat power is said to be second only to that Herrscher.
The scale of that riot seemed to be very large, and the situation was so out of control that Mei asked Anti-Entropy for help. In the end, the [Yaksha] who was born from the poisonous pupa personally slaughtered them all and rebuilt them soon after.
Perhaps they were not well-known in the battle against Honkai, and their combat effectiveness could not be accurately assessed, but no one would not be afraid of this organization-
Because they have always hidden their bodies in the darkest places, no one knows how big this organization is, what kind of weapons it has, and what specific tasks it performs, and more importantly, because the target of their sword is not Honkai, but humans themselves.
Michael straightened his body unconsciously, and cold sweat had wet his temples without knowing when.
Flipping down, there is a brief mission introduction with only one sentence:
[Two poisonous pupa operators conduct necessary investigations on the resettlement of immigrants in the Americas branch. 】
Below is the brief information of the two operators:
[Name: Akagi**]
[Position: Doctor***]
[Authority: Special Grade]
(Attached with a photo)
[Name: Casper**]
[Position: Security Officer]
[Authority: Level 1]
(Attached with a photo)
“…”
“Have you finished reading?”
Mikael suddenly spoke, startling Michael.
“Look, I’ve finished reading!”
Mikael took back the tablet and skillfully deleted all the records.
"Confidentiality principle, not even a word is allowed to be spread outside, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I understand!"
Michael unknowingly used honorifics. It was true that the guy in front of him was a "guard", but in the Fire Chaser system, status was not distinguished by position, but by authority level.
As a city official, his authority is level two, and the first level authority of this guard named "Casper" corresponds to the level of authority of the continental administrator of the Americas and the commander of the American branch of the Fire Chaser Moth. The holders of these two positions were transferred to the headquarters not long ago, and new appointments have not been issued. At least at this moment, this "Casper" and that "Dr. Akagi" are the personnel with the highest authority on this continent.
Mikael didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered the first words:
"Don't think too much."
After saying that, Mikael took a step back, and Michael turned around, only to see him folding his hands in front of his chest and making a small gesture towards Michael in an extremely secretive manner.
It was a gesture that was common at least in China - the upper three fingers were stuck together and rubbed together.
"Well……"
What does this mean?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Mikael raised his eyebrows and rubbed his fingers again.
"Oh, I understand!"
Michael didn't understand, but looking at the squirming scars on Mikael's face, he was afraid that he would make the other party angry if he told the truth, so he decided to fool him first.
"I'm going to ask the doctor to come down now. As the mayor of Third New Paradise City, you are also the first stop of this inspection, so you must do your best to be a landlord."
Michael looked at the lewd smile of the guy in front of him and seemed to understand something, but he was not sure.
When Mikael turned around and walked towards the plane, his staff and colleagues immediately surrounded him and asked him about the situation.
"Hey, Archangel, who are they?"
Obviously, the archangel was given the nickname Michael for some well-known reason. Fortunately, this nickname was not heard by Ellie, otherwise Michael, whose name has the same origin as Michael, would also be indispensable. Being called that.
"I can't say this..."
"So mysterious?"
Michael hurriedly shook his head to deny it, but quickly realized it and nodded instead. In fact, keeping things confidential is a kind of metaphysics. As long as someone knows something, the principle of confidentiality will definitely not be implemented.
Therefore, the so-called confidentiality is often not "keeping secrets from people who should not know", but "keeping secrets from those who ordered confidentiality but not keeping secrets".
Sounds like a tongue twister...but it's true. The identity of the special correspondent Poison Chrysalis is not a particularly important secret. In another time and place, Michael would not be able to keep his mouth shut. But Mikael hasn't gone far yet. Mikael seemed to have heard what he said teasing Mei just now. He didn't dare to make another mistake.
Most of the people also knew what was right, so they stopped asking questions when they saw this.
But at this time, Michael in turn grabbed two of his staff.
"What does this mean?"
He stretched out his thumb, index finger, and middle finger, pinched them together, and rubbed them gently.
"this……"
A staff member from China looked embarrassed. He wanted to speak but didn't dare.
"What are you afraid of? What does this mean?"
"Well...sir, in my hometown, this gesture means asking someone for money."
"Want money?"
"Well... it can also be understood as... asking for a bribe."
Michael's expression suddenly became very exciting——
Asking for a bribe?
The so-called Poison Chrysalis, an operator of the most mysterious organization of the Fire Chaser... That's it?
Michael silently covered his face, finding it difficult to accept it for a moment.
But then he became alert again—could he be fishing?
Mikael was naturally aware of all this. When he returned to the cabin, Mei had already taken advantage of this time to put her loose hair back into place.
"Plans changed and a great idea suddenly occurred to me."
"Um?"
Mei didn't act too surprised. From the moment Mikael got off the plane before her, the change of plan had been a tacit secret.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Well, I did a little trick. There is a fool outside with the same name as me... Ah, no, the mayor of Third New Paradise City. He now thinks that we are special agents affiliated with Poison Chrysalis. My name is Casper, your name is Dr. Akagi..."
"Then what?"
"Tsk, if we go to investigate like this, even if we are in disguise, they will definitely not show us the truth, right? So, we have to break into the enemy."
"..."
Mei probably understood what Mikael meant, but even so, it might not be easy to see the real situation and obtain evidence.
"Mei, you have to think clearly that our purpose is not a simple investigation. If that were the case, I could have all the information myself without alerting any city hall.
"But... what we need is effective management of the remaining two billion people, so that they can at least have an easier life after immigration. This is something that must be done with the help of these pesky bureaucrats. ——You cannot personally manage two billion people.
"Then we not only need to know what is happening at the bottom, but also find out the daily lives of these bureaucrats, their hidden rules, and their views on the Fire Chaser Moth headquarters."
"Of course I understand that."
Besides, if you give it a try, there will be no bad consequences even if you fail.
But hypocrisy will eventually make people feel disgusted.
