Chapter 170 Urgent Task
"You think reality is like a comic?" Mizusawa Ryo looked disdainful and slapped Li Xia's head. "Mama Ran definitely can't be a bad person."
"Yeah, that's true," Li Xia nodded. "How could Kanshi Ketsu be a bad person."
"It's Kanshi Ran," Mizusawa Ryo corrected.
The next moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in her ear.
"Ding, urgent task, behind-the-scenes manipulator."
"Task prompt: Special Affairs Bureau, Director Kanshi Ran, designed to stop the human replacement plan, to kill Kirigiri Shimizu.
Your family is under threat. As a family that helps each other, all family members have an obligation to thwart this conspiracy and defeat the behind-the-scenes manipulator."
"Task reward: According to the damage inflicted on Kanshi Ran, contribute value statistics."
"Special notes (highlighted in red): Kanshi Ran's individual strength is assessed as extremely dangerous. Please cooperate as a family and do not face it alone."
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Li Xia reached out and waved in front of Mizusawa Ryo. She had just started speaking, but suddenly became as if she were stunned, standing still.
Li Xia saw Mizusawa Ryo ignoring him and turned to look at Akane, asking, "Do you know what's wrong with her?"
"Akane doesn't know. " Akane waved her hand over her chest.
Normally, Mizusawa Ryo would have raised her fist to hit someone, but this time she completely ignored Akane and instead covered her head, her face filled with disbelief, saying, "No... It's impossible! I don't believe it!"
On the other side, Chen Huijie also paused, stopping her knife movements. She didn't expect to suddenly receive a task.
"Hey, kid, what are you daydreaming about?" Uemon Chounan shouted loudly, urging her to continue attacking.
"Wait, I have something to ask you." Chen Huijie threw her two daggers onto the nearby table.
Although she surrendered, she didn't actually commit a crime. Uemon Chounan felt that her knife skills were exquisite, so he invited her to practice with him.
Chen Huijie felt that since she had come, she couldn't just go back alone. So she agreed, and she had a good impression of the middle-aged man, Uemon Chounan.
Both of them had a military background and quickly became close friends.
Chen Huijie felt much more comfortable being with him than being with Kirigiri Shimizu.
"Say." Uemon Chounan lit a cigar for himself and held it in his mouth. He is the leader of the security team and is responsible for the internal security of the Special Affairs Bureau. He is also free when he is free and does not mind chatting with his juniors.
"What is the human replacement plan?" Chen Huijie asked tentatively. She didn't know if it was a secret, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
The eldest son of Iemon held a cigar in his mouth, glanced at her, was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath of the cigar, and then spoke: "It's not a secret, you are Kirigiri Shimizu's friend, and judging from your sword skills, you are not an ordinary person. It’s okay to tell you.”
He looked up at the sky: "The main combat force of the Special Affairs Bureau is composed of subhumans. Because subhumans are individually strong, only subhumans can fight against subhumans in single-person tasks. This is the original intention of the establishment of the Special Affairs Bureau.
Chen Huijie, being a senior police inspector, quickly grasped the reasoning behind this.
The species known as "subhuman" may not be a match for fully armed humans, but identifying them in a crowd is difficult. They are hard to beat when there are few people, and they run away when there are many.
Of course, they can be easily eliminated with a large police force, but that raises concerns about the use of resources and its impact.
Therefore, using "subhuman" to deal with "subhuman" is the most efficient and cost-effective approach.
"But there's one exception," Uemon Chounan took another puff of his cigarette, his face showing a proud expression.
"Kirigiri Shimizu, although human, is not inferior to the 'subhuman' in strength or combat skills."
"The so-called Human Replacement Plan is about studying the genes of Kirigiri Shimizu, ultimately aiming to use humans to replace 'subhumans'."
"Does Kirigiri Shimizu agree to this plan?" Chen Huijie frowned, finding it inhumane.
However, she could understand the purpose of this plan, in that if humans themselves could train warriors to solve the "subhuman" problem.
So, subhuman loses its value as a military group.
"It's not some evil experiment," Uemon Chounan waved his hand. "It's just normal genetic research. Blood draws and such. In the future, it will involve cloning technology. Apart from ethical issues, it won't harm Kirigiri Shimizu herself."
"Cloning?" Chen Huijie frowned, feeling that these things were still far off, but when she turned to look at Uemon Chounan, she saw his right half completely covered in metal, and immediately thought that military technology was far superior to civilian practical technology.
"The one who proposed and promoted this proposal is the Fujiwara family," Uemon Chounan flicked his cigarette butt to the ground and stamped it out.
Chen Huijie didn't say anything, instantly understanding why Uemon Chounan had been holding back in the recent battle.
He must have thought that Kirigiri Shimizu had killed the entire Fujiwara family in order to reject this plan.
"Oh, by the way, what race is your Director Kanshi Ran? She looks completely human to me."
Chen Huijie's tone was casual. She hadn't actually seen Bailan, and her words were simply to make Uemon Chounan think she had, in order to gather information on this final boss.
Uemon Chounan glanced at her casually and said, "The director is just a human."
"Huh?" Chen Huijie was puzzled. "Is Kirigiri Shimizu the strongest person in your Special Affairs Bureau?"
"The director doesn't necessarily mean the strongest," Uemon Chounan made an expression as if looking at a fool.
"Just like a commander can't beat a special forces soldier, Kanshi Ran became the bridge between humans and subhumans because she gained the love of everyone.
She is a human with a truly kind heart, a woman with no strength at all."
Chen Huijie looked at the special attention column in the task prompt that was highlighted in red and fell into contemplation.
Individual strength assessment: Extremely dangerous, do not face alone.
If it weren't for the system prompt, even if she discovered her conspiracy, she would probably be silenced without any defense.
At school, Asakawa Aki stared blankly at the phone on the desk.
Li Xia hadn't come to find her on her own after he had driven her away.
"Is that brat mad at me?" Asakawa Aki bit her lip, thinking that she didn't hold back when she knocked him with her high heels earlier. Hopefully, she didn't hurt him.
Asakawa Aki had the idea to call him.
Immediately, she shook her head vigorously, absolutely not willing to retreat easily.
Otherwise, Li Xia, the silk enthusiast, would take advantage of the situation and demand to "clean the gun," asking for consent or refusal.
As she hesitated, her phone suddenly rang.
Asakawa Aki startled, quickly picked up the phone, but the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
Her body instantly deflated, answering the call, lacking spirit: "Hello, who is this?"
The voice on the other end was very cold: "I'm Kirigiri Shimizu, I need your help."
"I'm not interested in that strange system task," Asakawa Aki shook her head. She also received a task, but only glanced at it. She had her own independent task, so she didn't pay attention to these.
"Li Xia is in danger," Kirigiri Shimizu's voice came through the receiver.
