Entering Through the Main Gate for the First Time

Zhuge Chen wasn't exactly a purely good person, but he couldn't be called a heinous villain either.

Seeing the red karmic virtue on him, Lin Mo calculated this man's future.

His future could be summed up in four words: A worthy death.

Four words, no more, no less, perfectly summarizing his life.

Some people are alive, but they are already dead; some people are dead, yet they still generate residual heat. Zhuge Chen was the latter.

In that case, sparing his life to see how his play would unfold wasn't a bad idea.

After all, having synthesized the memories of quite a few people, Zhuge Chen was a hard person to judge.

But the world isn't black and white; being an undercover agent means walking in a gray world.

As for that organization hiding in the shadows...

Lin Mo toyed with the SIM card in his hand. To him, this thing didn't even need a physical medium.

With a thought, his spiritual sense and spiritual power wove into an invisible net, instantly simulating signal fluctuations and accurately dialing that number.

Products of the system were truly extraordinary.

So-called tracing along the network cable was essentially just tracking the signal source.

To Lin Mo, it was more like an extension of his spiritual sense.

"Beep... beep..."

The call connected.

There was dead silence on the other end, no breathing, no sound, as if it were an empty number.

Lin Mo didn't make a sound either, but his spiritual sense had already transformed into an invisible sharp sword, following that signal line, traveling upstream, and piercing through layers of physical and virtual signals.

One second.

That was enough.

In Lin Mo's consciousness, a clear picture slowly unfolded.

A bright and clean office, decorated in a standard manner. A neatly dressed middle-aged man sat upright, his brows tightly furrowed, holding a black mobile phone with the screen lit up, indicating an ongoing call.

On the wall behind the man, a golden dragon-shaped badge shone brightly, with four flamboyant characters beneath it.

Yanhuang Awakening.

Interesting.

Truly too interesting.

The thieves' den was actually opened right in the constables' headquarters.

The so-called darkness under the lamp, hiding in plain sight—the ancients truly didn't deceive me.

Lin Mo sneered and directly cut off the signal.

"What's going on? These rats have actually entered the main camp."

However, this was also very easy to understand.

After all, hiding under the lamp is the most common concealment method in the world.

Lin Mo snatched Zhuge Chen's braised egg, peeled the packaging, and stuffed it directly into his mouth, then walked outside.

Hmm, the taste wasn't bad.

Barring any accidents, he would never see Zhuge Chen again in this lifetime.

However, the Zhuge family was worth meeting.

Lin Mo strolled out of the alley. Just as he reached the street, his phone rang.

It was Tong Dong.

"Hello, what's up?"

Tong Dong sounded a bit anxious on the other end of the phone.

"I received the notice. The training camp starts this afternoon. Where are you?"

"Running some errands outside. I'll definitely be back before the afternoon," Lin Mo replied indistinctly, chewing the braised egg.

"Alright, hurry up then." Tong Dong didn't ask much. He knew Lin Mo had his own friends in Tianjing, and there was no need to get to the bottom of things between friends.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Mo swallowed the last bite of the braised egg and clapped his hands.

Since the training camp was in the afternoon, the morning time couldn't be wasted.

After hanging up, Lin Mo headed straight for the Yanhuang Awakening headquarters.

He couldn't blame Long Tianqi either. After all, despite gathering so many memories from the Chai family, he still couldn't find this person.

This showed that this person was hidden very deeply.

Lin Mo's figure left a blur in mid-air, flying directly toward the Yanhuang Awakening headquarters, while his spiritual sense remained locked onto that distant aura like an invisible giant net.

He took out his phone and casually dialed Dongfang Shuye's number.

Yanhuang Awakening General Headquarters, Medical Department.

It still smelled of disinfectant.

Dongfang Shuye stood in front of a massive recovery pod. Through the translucent cover, he could see Dongfang Gushuo lying inside.

The hideous scars on his cousin's body were still shocking to look at, even soaked in the recovery fluid.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, before helplessly letting go.

The Chai family was a thing of the past.

This revenge was considered taken.

But could his cousin get over the hurdle in his heart? Dongfang Shuye's brows twisted into a knot.

Right at this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket began to vibrate.

He took it out and saw the name Lin Mo flashing on the screen.

"Hey, got a minute to come downstairs and pick up a guest?" Lin Mo's lazy voice came from the other end.

"Hmm? I'm not at the base," Dongfang Shuye's voice was a bit hoarse.

"I know, the General Headquarters. Hurry up. Those two bros at your gate are too dedicated, insisting I'm a suspicious person."

Lin Mo's tone revealed a sense of exasperation.

He, a dignified consultant of Yanhuang Awakening, was actually blocked at his own front door. Where was the reason in that?

How could he have forgotten to get himself an ID back then?

Hanging up the phone, Lin Mo simply found a step and sat down, looking out of sheer boredom at the building in front of him, which was disguised as a large factory.

The two security guards standing at the gate had straight backs and eagle-like eyes, staring fixedly at him.

Lin Mo swept a glance over them. These two didn't have the slightest fluctuation of spiritual roots; they were purely ordinary people.

But that military temperament seeping from their bones couldn't be faked.

He had just mentioned the four words Yanhuang Awakening. According to the rules, these two should have reported it immediately.

However, since he said someone was coming to pick him up, they were happy to save the trouble and just stood there waiting. There was somewhat of a flaw in the procedure.

Before long, Dongfang Shuye drove over in a quirky compact car.

The car door opened, and Dongfang Shuye stepped out.

The two security guards at the gate sharply snapped to attention and gave a standard military salute.

"Hello, Group Leader Dongfang!"

Dongfang Shuye returned the salute and pointed at Lin Mo, who was squatting on the steps. "This is Consultant Lin. He hasn't had time to get his ID yet. You can find his profile in your system, go check it."

"Yes! We will verify it immediately!"

One of them turned and ran into the guardhouse, his fingers clattering away on the keyboard.

Soon, he ran out, his back even straighter.

"Reporting to Group Leader Dongfang, the information has been verified. Consultant Lin may enter!"

Dongfang Shuye gave a nod.

Lin Mo stood up, dusted off his pants, and followed Dongfang Shuye inside.

This was actually his first time properly entering through the front door.

Ironically, he was probably more familiar with the internal structure of this place than Dongfang Shuye, the Group Leader.

If he really wanted to get in, let alone a single door, even walls of copper and iron couldn't stop him.

However, he was here on official business today, so naturally, he had to take the official route.

By coming in with such fanfare, all the prominent figures in the headquarters should now know he had arrived.

Lin Mo's pace wasn't fast, but his spiritual sense had already spread out, covering the entire headquarters.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the person his spiritual sense had kept locked onto to show themselves of their own accord.
