Chapter 405 Banquet
"Oh!"
"Ding!"
For a moment, the entire experimental building resounded with the sounds of flesh clashing and swords clashing.
Unfortunately, no matter how much damage Kiana and Mei inflicted, the opponent always managed to heal quickly. While the two could increase their damage output to end the battle, the surrounding environment would also be destroyed in the process.
But this area needs to be preserved as evidence, so it absolutely cannot be destroyed too much.
Seeing that most of the researchers around them had already retreated, the two exchanged a glance and then temporarily withdrew.
"What exactly is that thing?"
After leaving the experimental building, Mei asked a question. Before leaving, the two of them had thoughtfully sealed off all the exits of the building to prevent the creature from rushing out.
Kiana shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"But seriously, is it really okay for us to just show up in front of those researchers like this?"
"Don't worry, I already added memes to us before we came out. As soon as they take their eyes off us, they will completely forget about us in the next second."
"Memes? Are they some kind of power of my knowledge?"
"That's right, after all, we're here to infiltrate, not to fight like madmen."
"But now that we have reliable intelligence, does that mean that Section Six has a reason to intervene?"
"Let's see what the higher-ups say," the captain's voice came through the headset. "I've already reported the situation here to the mayor. Let's see what the mayor says."
A few days later, just as Yi Xuan had guessed, Hui Jing Mei Ke sent an invitation to a banquet. After discussion, it was finally decided that Pan Yin Hu would be responsible for protecting Zhe and Ling's safety. After all, Suibian Guan's finances were a bit tight recently, and if they could squeeze some money out of the banquet, it wouldn't be a bad choice.
If you ask why, if Pan Yinhu remembers correctly, this Tea Drinker offers takeaway service.
In other words, Pan Yinhu's task, besides protecting the safety of the brother and sister, was to eat more and then pack up the leftovers to share with everyone.
Anyway, I'm definitely going to get that wool from Pan Yinhu! As for why Ju Fufu isn't here, it's mainly because her previous failure in math class was exposed, and she's currently receiving one-on-one tutoring from Yi Xuan at Fuyun Temple, so she really doesn't have time to come over.
After discussing the attendees, everyone dispersed to prepare for the banquet the day after tomorrow, and just a few minutes before the banquet was about to begin.
Led by Pan Yinhu, Zhe and Ling arrived at the banquet hall on the second floor of Yinchaxian.
Upon entering, the group discovered that there were many people of high status present, and they even spotted several familiar figures.
After a brief conversation with Pan Yinhu, the three of them split up. Pan Yinhu continued his scheme to fleece customers, while Zhe and Ling went to meet the two people they knew very well.
"Ya, Liu, I didn't expect you two to be here too!"
Hoshimi Miyabi's ears twitched at the sound of Tetsuya's voice, and she turned around to look at the brother and sister walking towards them.
"Hello, Tetsuya and Rin, I never expected to run into you here."
"Section Chief, have you forgotten that they are here because they are now nominal disciples of Yunkui Mountain?"
"The mayor did say something like that before we left. So, Zhe and Ling, are you here as representatives of Yunkui Mountain?"
“That’s right,” Ling replied. “But compared to us, the fact that your Anti-Air Section 6 is here is the last thing we expected.”
"Because our Air Defense Section 6 is here as the city government's representative for this security investigation, we're here on official business."
"A security investigation? I didn't expect that just one incident of erosion would attract the attention of the Sixth Anti-Air Division."
Tsukishiro Ryu naturally understood Zhe's implication, but the two people in front of him were themselves witnesses to the events and knew the situation best.
It was not enough to attract the attention of the Sixth Division of the Sky if it was only related to the praise meeting. After carefully looking around and finding that no one was paying attention to them, Tsukishiro Ryu beckoned the two of them to follow her to a more secluded corner.
After arriving at this secluded corner where no one paid attention, Yuecheng Liu finally felt relieved and began to explain to the two of them.
"Just as you thought, if it were only what you experienced before, the mayor wouldn't have allowed our Anti-Air Section Six to enter the field."
"So there are other reasons?"
"That's right, we actually came here because of Kiana."
"Kiana?"
"Yes, ever since she appeared, the mayor has sent us a message saying that Kiana is now carrying out a secret operation under his orders, and the captain is her assistant."
"Is that how it is? But what does this have to do with Kiana?"
"Actually, we only just found out that Kiana has been active in the Weifei region during this period. She then discovered evidence of cooperation between the Shining Crystal and the Praise Society, which is why the mayor entrusted us to come and investigate the situation here secretly. Otherwise, the mayor originally did not intend to get involved."
"The connection between Huijing Meike and the Praise Association?!"
Zhe opened his eyes wide in disbelief and asked, "Could it be that the previous incident wasn't an accident?"
“I don’t think this matter is related to the Erosion incident you experienced,” said Hoshimi Masato. “After all, that’s the production base of Shining Crystal Mikko. If it gets out of hand, it will inevitably expose the entire Shining Crystal Mikko to the public. Neither Shining Crystal Mikko nor the Praise Association wants to see that happen.”
“That makes sense. Regardless of their motives for cooperating with the Praise Society, given the Praise Society’s reputation, Huijing Meike certainly wouldn’t want to expose this matter casually.”
Just then, Yuecheng Liu noticed that people were focusing their attention on them and that some people were moving over. So she quickly ended the conversation and told Zhe and the others that this matter should be kept secret for the time being and that they should not spread it around before a thorough investigation was conducted and substantial evidence was found.
Zhe and Ling naturally knew the importance of this matter, so they immediately made a guarantee and then left the corner to find Damian, who was in charge of coordinating the banquet.
"Oh my, it's the masters from Yunkui Mountain! It's such an honor for me to have you here!"
Bell said somewhat sharply, "Damian, is it really okay for you to be so relaxed?"
“Of course it’s bad,” Damian said definitively. “Don’t let my relaxed demeanor fool you; I was forced to lose a lot of hair before the banquet officially began!”
"Oh? Can you tell us about it? I bet you've put a lot of effort into keeping your position, haven't you?"
"No, not at all. To be honest, although I am nominally the head of Huijing Meike Group in Weifei, I am actually only responsible for production. Safety is handled by someone else."
As he spoke, Damian's face showed a look of relief, and he continued.
"The person in charge of security lost his job recently, which means I've temporarily gained full authority in this area, but only temporarily."
"Oh? Should we congratulate you in advance?"
“Miss Ling, that’s not necessary. The host of this banquet is someone else, and I’m just someone who’s been brought into the spotlight.”
Damian then began to introduce the identities of the people invited to the banquet to the two of them, and also expressed his surprise that the two of them knew people from the Sixth Anti-Air Section. Rin responded to Damian that it was just a coincidence that they knew each other. Just as the three of them were talking, a man's voice came through the loudspeaker in the banquet hall.
"Look, the person who hosted this banquet has now made his official appearance."
