Chapter 86 Escort Mission

RBAI-019—it seems that all weapons developed independently by the Bureau of Investigation begin with RBAI.

Lin Chen hadn't understood what this meant before, but today, while previewing the experimental weapon model on the app, he finally saw the full name:

Raincity Bureau of Anomaly Investigation.

It's quite similar to the FBI. So, if you encounter foreigners or businesses that don't understand Chinese, you can shout something before kicking down the door:

"RBAI, open the door!"

"Sizzle..."

Lin Chen gently spun the silver hand axe twice, feeling the azure energy dancing on its surface.

"The axe body is forged from superalloy. Most of the material from Captain England's shield was used to make this axe," Professor Jürgen explained. "I also used some material to make two bullets: one 23mm superalloy armor-piercing slug and one .338 superalloy armor-piercing bullet. You each get one."

"I got a share too?" Li Zhanyi suddenly asked happily.

"Use it sparingly. This thing is second only to the whale-sounding grenade, and its ability to hit non-abnormal targets may be even better than the whale-sounding grenade."

"We'll make good use of this!" Li Zhanyi raised his hand.

Lin Chen felt the weight in his hand and marveled at the feel of this experimental weapon.

"How can this thing's azure color be replenished?"

"There's an input port at the bottom of the axe. Just stick the Azure Factor in," Professor Jürgen said. "One canister can provide about 30 minutes of continuous combat. It's quite expensive. You don't have to keep it in charging mode to fight. The superalloy itself is very strong. It can easily cut down carbon-based creatures."

"The charging mode... is it prepared for gamma-level demigods?" Lin Chen pondered.

"Theoretically, it's intended for gamma-level anomalous entities," Jürgen chuckled. "You young man, you're addicted to slaying demigods..."

"After all, they've been showing up too frequently lately," Lin Chen nodded slightly, "We need to be prepared to deal with them again."

"This thing is still effective at cutting them, but remember to be careful. There's a small blue energy reactor inside the axe, and if it explodes, it might cause corrosion."

Lin Chen suddenly felt like he was holding a bomb in his hand.

However, this also shows that this thing is indeed threatening.

If I had used this to smash the English captain's head last night, I feel like I could have advanced to the second stage in no time.

"Professor, Professor, are you free in the evenings lately?" Li Zhanyi asked. "You've been taking good care of me lately, so I'm thinking of giving you a little something in return!"

"Hmm? Evening? Then there probably isn't much time," Professor Jürgen chuckled. "My schedule has been packed with experiments lately, so I haven't had much free time."

"Then...waiting a while is fine too?" Li Zhanyi asked with some regret.

"Sure, although I don't think I've done much," Professor Jürgen smiled happily, "but I do have a favor I need your help with."

"What can I do for you? Just tell me." Lin Chen put the axe back into the styrofoam box.

"Liti's treatment ends tomorrow, and she still wants to go back to school to try again," Jürgen scratched his head, "but I'm busy all day tomorrow..."

"That's alright, I can take care of picking her up and dropping her off," Lin Chen said proactively. "Anyway, she's Huihui's good friend. I just approved some funding for Huihui to buy a console a few days ago, so they can do their homework together and then play games together after they're done."

"I'm going tomorrow too! I'll play Little Litty's older sister!" Li Zhanyi raised her hand. "It's been so long since I've been back to junior high, I'm so excited!"

"Then I'll leave it to you tomorrow." Jürgen nodded.

"Yes, I will take good care of Little Litty!" Li Zhanyi saluted.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the professor, the two left the basement and returned to the department office.

As soon as Lin Chen entered, he saw Oswald leaning against the bar: he was holding a bottle of vodka and chugging it down his throat.

"Oh, your little brother and sister are back?" Lucy pushed up her glasses. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Iced Coke! Iced Coke!" Li Zhanyi raised her hand. "Lin Chen wants an iced Coke too!"

"Tsk tsk, no taste..."

Lucy poured two glasses of iced cola, placed them on the bar, and then continued wiping her glass, which seemed perpetually impossible to clean.

Lin Chen took a sip of cola and was about to leave the bar when Oswald suddenly turned to look at him.

"Hey," the man said in a hoarse voice, "you did a good job last night."

He actually complimented someone... Lin Chen caught a glimpse of Li Zhanyi's horrified expression out of the corner of his eye.

"Th...thank you?" Lin Chen was a little unsure how to answer.

Oswald didn't seem to have any further intentions; he turned away and continued dealing with the vodka in the bottle.

Li Zhanyi tugged at Lin Chen's sleeve, pulling him away from the bar counter, and whispered:

"Wow, he actually complimented you! He's never even spoken to me! I always thought he didn't consider us human beings at all!"

"I feel like he only talked to me because I'm not considered human in his eyes..." Lin Chen laughed.

That guy is indeed quite strange; he appears and disappears unpredictably, is ruthless, taciturn, and decisive in his actions.

Lin Chen doesn't dislike this type of person, as long as they are his teammates.

"You really have no idea how terrifying he is," Li Zhanyi shook her head. "Remember the Bureau of Investigation's banquet? It was the one your young lady invited you to. They initially dragged Oswald along too! They insisted he was some kind of masked type, very sexy..."

"What kind of thunderous vocabulary is this?" Lin Chen paused for a moment, then said:

"And then...?"

"And then he danced ballet at the banquet! Wearing one of those dresses, you know?" Li Zhanyi looked horrified. "The thing is, he danced really well!"

"...?"

Lin Chen believed that if he were a two-dimensional character, his pupils would be able to turn into question marks at this moment.

Just imagining such a scene is enough to make one despair.

"And then...?"

"Then, because he attracted everyone's attention, Marcus got annoyed," Li Zhanyi sighed. "After a bit of an argument, the group of drunks started fighting, and then he beat the entire Second Division to a pulp with his ballet-like movements..."

"Marcuso really is a unit of measurement for combat power..." Lin Chen thought to himself.

"Talking bad about Oswald again?" Jiang Zhengge walked over with a smile, holding documents in his hand. "Give him a break. That poor Englishman is already reclusive enough. Maybe he just wants to be friends with Lin Chen."

"Section Chief, when will today's interrogation begin?" Lin Chen asked.

"I was just looking for you. Now is about time," Jiang Zhengge said. "We can go over now."

"I'll go too," Li Zhanyi said. "I saw the news; Bai Duozhi is trying to assassinate Zuo Xia, right?"

"Yes, so we need to give him the highest level of protection," Jiang Zhengge nodded. "Let's go, let's set off."

The three of them walked out of the department office, entered the elevator, and headed to the underground prison.

"It seems the foundation intends to shift all the blame for last night's events onto Blacknet," Jiang Zhengge said, glancing at his watch in the elevator. "That's understandable, since Blacknet's mercenaries are paid to take the blame."

"Did they mention Captain England?" Lin Chen asked.

"It wasn't mentioned at all, and we don't plan to bring it up on our own initiative. After all, as long as the captain of the British team, who is the main focus of our efforts, doesn't show up, they will inevitably face a media storm sooner or later."

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and Jiang Zhengge led Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi into the prison level.

"Last night, Zuo Xia confessed most of the information he knew," Jiang Zhengge said softly. "The purpose of today's interrogation is to confirm the truth of what he said and see if we can extract anything else from him."

"Let's prepare for action."
