After an inspection, Su Yun recognized that the mountain bike was branded and cost about 100 ,000 yuan. Other than the body being custom-made, the tires had also been specially processed. There was no problem not inflating for a few years.
Then, facing the pile of bones, Su Yun bowed respectfully. The deceased was the most important. Furthermore, this was someone else’s mountain bike. Since Su Yun had borrowed it, he naturally had to greet him and be polite.
“I’ll report the case for you when I get back. Someone will come and take you home then.” After bowing, Su Yun needed to make a promise. He straddled the mountain bike and adjusted his riding posture.
The white monkey wandered on a tree branch and was in charge of guiding Su Yun. As the ride began, Su Yun listened to the sound of the wind in his ears. The mountain scenery kept flashing in front of his eyes. His speed was clearly several times faster than on foot.
Su Yun felt extremely lucky. Thankfully, the white monkey had brought him to find the mountain bike. This way, he could greatly reduce the time needed to reach Hibiscus City. He was getting closer and closer to the second piece of golden foil.
Su Yun’s originally tense mood gradually relaxed. He followed the white monkey through the forest and quickly drove towards Hibiscus City.
Just as Su Yun was about to meet Xu Jiajia, thousands of miles away in Europe, Basel, a city in Swiss that had remained neutral all year round, in a private manor in a deserted mountain range.
Zero, who had been killed by Su Yun, and the research institute that the white-robed men belonged to—the Numanke Research Institute—were established here.
Within a hundred miles, it was the territory of the Numanke Research
Institute. In addition to various types of surveillance, there were also security guards patrolling with guns and drones patrolling for 24 hours to ensure that no non-research personnel approached the research institute base.
In a building independent of the experimental buildings that was located in the center of the research institute base underground, the second-in-command of the entire research institute, “Wolf Jackal” Thor, was reporting to the number one figure of the Numanke Research Institute, who was also the boss Charles mentioned, Mr. X.
Unlike Thor, who was standing at the desk, X, who should have been sitting behind the desk, was actually a holographic projection. Through the holographic projection, a person in a black robe appeared.
Unlike humans with flesh and blood, holographic projections could be seen but not touched. Everything was filled with mystery. It was clearly a pile of data, but it looked lifelike. It was amazing. This also indirectly proved that the research institute had very advanced technology and a deep foundation.
It also proved that this boss was very cautious. Even his most trusted subordinates found it difficult to see him personally.
“Mr. X,” The second in command, who was also X’s deputy, Thor, said respectfully, “After Zero and the others’ vital signs disappeared, we tried to contact them again, but there was still no response. What we can confirm now is that they have been completely wiped out. Moreover, the last time we received Zero’s message was: Boss, take revenge. So…”
Thor did not continue, but his meaning was clear. After a moment of silence, the holographic projection of Mr. X did not say anything. Instead, he reached out and wrote a sentence on the piece of paper he carried with him.
After raising it, Thor saw that it said: [What did the portable camera capture?]
The reason why he did not speak and used this oldest form of word transmission was because he had to be careful and constantly be wary of others eavesdropping.
“Boss, we did manage to capture some things that surprised us!” With that, Thor played the scene of Zero and the white-robed men fighting Su Yun through the big screen on the wall.
The research institute could control the camera’s image remotely and retrieve it at any time. It would immediately be destroyed in the next second after filming to ensure that all the videos would not leak out.
Once the carrier’s life ended, the camera would self-destruct immediately, leaving no information. On the big screen, Su Yun threw out flying needles and cards with his bare hands. A shocked expression appeared on X’s undetected face under the hood.
He could pierce through the defense suit and kill so many people in white just by throwing out flying needles and cards with his bare hands?! After watching the video, X was shocked. He wrote another sentence on the paper and handed it to Thor. [What’s this person’s name?]
Thor immediately replied, “His name is Su Yun.”
Hearing Thor’s reply, X subconsciously repeated it in his mind. “Su Yun…”
X’s holographic projection turned to look out of the window, leaving Thor with a back view. For some reason, that back made Thor feel a little gloomy and cold. It felt like: He was naked in a world of ice and snow in the winter.
Thor couldn’t help but shiver, then look up at the holographic projection of the big boss behind the research institute. Unfortunately, because it was a holographic projection and he was wearing a hood, it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
This made it impossible for him to guess what X was thinking. Ever since he took over as the second in command of the research institute,
Thor had never seen X’s true face. X had been showing people in a holographic projection. He never spoke and only used a note to convey his words..
