Number One Spy strolled down the bustling street when suddenly, a squad of soldiers appeared, surrounding him.
"Zhao Yin, you stand accused of slaughtering a family of five for the sake of wealth, an act that defies all moral principles. Surrender peacefully, and there may still be a chance for leniency!" one soldier aimed his firearm at Number One Spy and shouted loudly.
Witnessing the scene, the bystanders scattered in fear, leaving only Number One Spy and a few soldiers on the street.
"I've never heard of any provision in the Imperial Law that offers clemency to criminals like me for reducing sentences in exchange for money. Care to enlighten me?" Number One Spy raised an eyebrow.
If Su Chen had witnessed this spectacle, he would have undoubtedly been amazed. Number One Spy was embodying the audacious disregard for life one would expect from a cornered criminal.
Having been out of commission for quite some time, Number One Spy's acting skills hadn't dulled one bit. It was a minute on the stage, but it felt like a decade of practice!
Of course, all of this had been meticulously prepared by Number One Spy. He was playing the role of a criminal to draw out the members of the Shadow Hall. Alice had personally fabricated all his information to ensure that no one could discern the deception.
Naturally, these soldiers were all posing as Red Alert soldiers. This was nothing more than a staged performance.
Upon hearing Number One Spy's words, the soldier leading the group became furious. "If you dare resist, your crimes will be compounded! Seize him!"
Several soldiers slowly closed in, but before they could make a move, Number One Spy produced a significant item from his person. Well, it was a smoke bomb, to be precise, which he promptly threw to the ground. In an instant, the area was enveloped in a dense fog, obscuring everything from view.When the smoke dissipated, Number One Spy had vanished.
"He couldn't have gone far. Pursue him!"
To perform the entire act convincingly, Number One Spy pretended to be cautious, turning left and right as if he was about to make himself dizzy. Finally, he came to a halt in a corner of a narrow alley.
"They shouldn't be following me now, right?" Number One Spy whispered.
Suddenly, a voice responded to his query, "That's not so certain. The Red Alert Empire's tracking technology is quite impressive."
"Who are you?" Number One Spy exclaimed in alarm, springing out and drawing a dagger from his side, positioning it defensively in front of him.
A figure emerged slowly from the darkness, revealing itself before Number One Spy. It was a person with an eerily pale complexion, resembling a corpse in appearance.
"Who I am is of no concern to you. Do you want to survive and possess formidable power?" The person's face contorted into a stiff smile, as if they hadn't smiled in decades, which was rather unsettling.
Number One Spy was momentarily taken aback by this bizarre attempt at persuasion. Such a low-level enticement tactic—did they really think he would fall for it? He had assumed the Shadow Hall employed more sophisticated methods to secure the loyalty of their agents, but this was it?
"I do, of course, but what does that have to do with you?" Despite being a professional actor—or rather, a professional spy—Number One Spy maintained a distrustful gaze fixed upon the individual.
To anyone else, Number One Spy's act was flawless.
"Hehe, it has everything to do with me. As long as you desire it, I can give you everything you've ever wanted!" The person spread their arms wide, exclaiming with fervor.
Number One Spy's face turned pale. "Keep your voice down. Do you want to attract the soldiers?"
"Don't worry, I've already shielded the area. The sound won't escape. It seems that I need to reveal some of my abilities; otherwise, you won't believe me."
Next, this person showcased some techniques that Powerhouses possessed, leaving Number One Spy utterly amazed. Of course, it was all part of the act.
The character Number One Spy was impersonating, Zhao Yin, was just a Regular Human, not even a Transcendent. Witnessing these displays would undoubtedly astonish anyone, especially considering that while everyone at the Red Alert Base might be Transcendents, in comparison to the vast population on the planet, Transcendents were still quite rare. Some individuals might go their entire lives without encountering a single Transcendent. Ṟ𝘈NỐ𐌱Êṣ
As a matter of course, Number One Spy became a spy for the Shadow Hall, aiding in his transformation into a First-order Transcendent while being controlled with a specific drug.
For regular Transcendents, this drug might be an inescapable poison, but for Number One Spy, who had reached the level of a Small Galaxy, it was nothing more than a candy.
Not just Number One Spy, but other Spies had also found their own ways to infiltrate the Shadow Hall. However, one of them experienced an unexpected turn of events—Number Two Spy!
Number Two Spy had initially planned to join the Shadow Hall in the same manner. But when the members of the Shadow Hall appeared, they were immediately eliminated by an unexpected intruder!
At that moment, Number Two Spy was dumbfounded. The Shadow Hall members were dead, so how could he join them now?
The one who had taken down the Shadow Hall members was a youth who looked remarkably similar to Number Two Spy. He spoke with an arrogant tone, saying, "Consider yourself lucky, ant. If it weren't for me, you would have become a lackey of a notorious organization."
Number Two Spy was so infuriated that he nearly beat the youth senseless on the spot. After a while, he managed to restrain himself. Then he thought of something. This youth, capable of eliminating Shadow Hall members, was at least a Small Galaxy-level Powerhouse. Why would such a Powerhouse target the Shadow Hall?
Could it be...
Even Su Chen hadn't anticipated that Number Two Spy would accidentally end up joining another faction opposing the Shadow Hall. This organization was called the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group.
This group had only one goal: to discreetly deal with all malevolent organizations targeting humanity, safeguarding the great peace of humanity. Moreover, this organization was jointly organized and managed by all the Empire Emperors of human territories, giving it a highly exalted status.
"Human Peacekeeping Operations Group, what is that?"
Upon hearing Number Two Spy's report, Su Chen was taken aback.
From Number Two Spy's account, Su Chen finally learned the uniqueness of this organization. It spanned across all human territories in the star system and was a clandestine group dedicated to protecting humanity. Any organization that posed harm to humanity was considered evil, and members of such organizations had to be eliminated.
The encounter with Number Two Spy had been a coincidence. If not for this chance encounter, Su Chen might never have discovered the existence of this organization.
After thinking it over, Su Chen asked Yuan Yizhong if he knew about this operation group. Surprisingly, Yuan Yizhong was familiar with it.
"The Human Peacekeeping Operations Group still exists? Back when the Qiluo Civilization nearly became the highest-ranking power of humanity, the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group was at its zenith. They had countless Powerhouses, and there were even rumors of Constellation-level Powerhouses!"
Su Chen's heart sank at the mention of Constellation-level Powerhouses. This was a level of power he couldn't contend with. He had never expected that such an organization would have such formidable figures. (To be continued...)
