Chapter 1342: Terrorist Attempt
"Notice any bombs on them?" The leader asked and Ran Ran, a fellow agent stated that the equipment was not picking up any significant chi signatures from the targets.
"But I believe they are carrying quite a number of storage rings." Ran Ran added and Kong Rong sighed.
"This is too obvious, I don\'t like this. The Banned Emperor Assassins would never do such a direct attack. This is either a distraction or an extremely coordinated attack." Kong Rong said as he picked up his phone and checked whether the System had detected any other \'people of interest\'.
"But Sir, if you consider the situation at hand as well as past attack patterns, it is already almost impossible for them to bomb the Tree Mall and yet they might have decided to use this opportunity in the lapse of judgement to do a simple bombing. So, perhaps, the more obvious it is, the less we would suspect." Yu Xuan said his theory on the current development and Ran Ran scoffed at the reasoning quietly.
"Regardless, we have to make sure there are no follow ups from this attack after we foil it. Ever since Jin broadcasted the 12 Zodiacs, I am pretty sure there would be people coming for him especially using the festival as a cover." Kong Rong said before sending a message to a certain somebody that they had confirmed the identities and they could act independently whenever suitable.
"I had sent the coordinates to a group of …cleaners. They will clean up those suspects as soon as they have the opportunity to do so. For now, continue the sweep and ensure there are no additional bombers." Kong Rong added.
"Sir, are you sure it\'s okay to let these external helpers be involved in our work? I thought you said that you cannot trust anybody else." Yu Xuan asked but his leader nodded his head in confidence.
"That is because that group belongs to Jin, and he is the only one that we can trust for sure. Besides, we all know that he has quite a formidable group under him for some reason so there is no need to worry about the competency of their work. As for us, it\'s also best that we do not perform any unnecessary actions especially when I have yet to vet the rest of the team thoroughly aside from you two." Kong Rong replied and somehow Yu Xuan and Ran Ran felt proud that they could be trusted by him.
"Although I will still subject you two to surprise tests just to make sure that everything is as per normal and no possible backstabbing." Kong Rong smirked when he said it and both of his agents were complaining about how distrustful their leader was.
"Sir, I would like a raise to prevent myself from being corrupted." Yu Xuan teased since that was the same thing the news had reported, indicating that the government officials would have their salary increase to reduce the risk of being corrupted and act as a deterrent against worldly desires. To the public, it was such a feeble excuse to get more money in their pockets but their apathy in them caused them to not bother much about the news.
Ran Ran also raised her hand like a rat, supporting Yu Xuan\'s proposal for a pay raise. Kong Rong sighed and said that he would consider it at the end of the financial year\'s appraisal review which caused the two of them to perform a high five.
In the meantime, Kong Rong received an acknowledgement that the helpers would finally proceed to capture them and thus asked his two agents to be on alert for any major changes to the Banned Emperor Assassins.
"Well, since the Young Dragon Boy asked for it, it\'s time for us to do our pre-workout before the Farming World gets to the climax," Kraft said to his boys and girls who immediately jumped into action, going around the Tree Mall\'s vicinity to find their targets.
When one of the Night Foxes found the suspected terrorist, they qing gong straight to the Banned Emperor Assassin, sneaking up to him so that he was in range for a grapple. And once he executed it, a portal instantly opened right beneath them, forcing the two of them to be teleported into one of the System\'s temporary dimensional instances.
Without any hesitation, the Night Foxes who were waiting in the temporary instances quickly assisted to pin the terrorist down and blocked the person\'s pressure points to prevent him from moving. Meanwhile, they brought a piece of torture equipment so that they could permanently immobilise the suspect and later performed the mind penetration telepathy to get access to the information from the Banned Emperor Assassin.
The System quickly compiled the information to augment the current arrest but it seems like Yu Xuan was right on the money when Kong Rong received the information from the System that the terrorists\' attempted attack was merely the few that the System had identified beforehand. (Their IDs were flagged as suspicious when they first entered Dungeons and Pandas, causing the System to track not only them and the people they had contacted as well.) And with the information from the first captured Banned Emperor Assassin, further cemented the idea that the attempt was done by this small group of people who hoped to do an impromptu terror attack.
This also allowed the Night Foxes to capture the remaining suspects without mercy (They were already doing that according to the State Agents) and performed \'illegal\' mind penetration telepathy attacks to get more information. Why give them chance when they are culprits that were set to terrorise the world?
Hence, the System allowed the Night Foxes to penetrate deep into their memories to find each and every potential member of the Banned Emperor Faction so that Kong Rong could follow up.
