"I feel like I'm being ridiculed" a staff member commented while looking at the smiley face traced out by red dots on the monitor. The letter J that represented the nose in the middle of the closed-eye smiling face gave off an indescribable sense of mockery and ridicule.
"Did you find our guy?"
After a while, the attending staff member could only shake their heads when asked by staff members who came to ask for more information.
"That fucker ran as fast as a thief. He most likely received anti-reconnaissance training, the surveillance couldn't catch him"
…
Meanwhile, at another location, a young man in a hoodie, face mask and backpack appeared in an alleyway, then took off his mask.
This young man who had the same lifelessness that Noah did said with a frustrated expression on his face: "Seriously boss, are you trying to torture me or something? Why does that brat Noah get to inherit several dozen houses and live without worries until death, while I have to run around seeking death?"
"Why can't we switch identities instead?" the young man complained.
〖 During this period of time, try and remain active to attract the attention of the D.E.R division 〗Negary seeped out from a gap in the wall and manifested in his Dragon of Eternal Sin form again, ignoring Jack's complaints as he continued issuing orders: 〖 Just a bit longer is fine 〗
"Wahhhh~ I want to cry, and I don't…" Jack gave him a resentful look, but still swallowed the rest of what he wanted to say and continued: "The name Jack doesn't really match this world's style at all, so I'll probably need to repackage myself under a new brand. Don't you think Killer J sounds a lot more mysterious?"
While saying so, Jack pulled out a business card that read: [No.1 genius of the Ghostmen, the handsome attribute of the team and former saviour of the world, Killer J]
"How about I sprinkle this business card all around the 6th domain, boss?" Killer J patted his backpack to reveal that it was full of the same business card.
〖 Do as you like, as long as the D.E.R division keeps their eyes off our side 〗Negary said without a care. Killer J was a fusion of Jack and a secondary soul derived from himself, so his actions were full of unpredictability. In fact, Negary believed that not even 'luck' could affect him. Because he could be thinking about one thing at one moment and another completely unrelated idea could pop up at the next.
This was most likely the so-called broad thinking that mental patients had, and this unpredictability might be the key to breaking through a situation at some point.
As he watched Killer J walking away while humming that one of these days he wanted to go blow up a school, Negary spread his wings and flew back to Noah's side. The D.E.R division's manpower was limited, so when Killer J was constantly causing trouble to draw their attention, they would need to delegate a lot of manpower to try and arrest him.
Not to mention the emergence of the Disaster King that made the D.E.R division send out a large portion of their manpower to protect him. The 6th domain's D.E.R division was currently under a severe shortage of personnel.
Through the information that Noah had been researching recently, Negary finally understood what happened to that huge amount of Disasforce in the sky the other day. It signified the birth of a Disaster King.
It was because he learnt of this that Negary laid out this strategy. From his estimation, there should only be at most 1 or 2 government officials monitoring Noah from this point on, if they had enough manpower, this plan would instead make them pay even more attention to Noah.
After all, as long as their IQ hadn't taken a vacation, they wouldn't forget about misdirection being the oldest trick in the book. But a lack of personnel made it an entirely different matter, and if they still maintained comprehensive monitoring of Noah, Negary would naturally change his tactic again.
…
"Among those who have been infected over the past few days, we've confirmed that the only one missing was Zuo Yu Xiao. Our troublemaker should be him, and I've issued an official wanted notice" Seven frowned and continued: "But the question is what exactly is he trying to do?"
"It's just a cover" Chang Xia looked over the reports of the past few days and solemnly said: "Beside researching various information, Luo Fu has only done a single thing recently"
Reading through the surveillance reports, Chang Xia focused his attention on a certain notable action and scowled: "He made a request to purchase a large number of crows and paid for the deposit with the remainder of his account's balance. Those crows are already on their way to our 6th domain"
"Do we need to send someone to stop it?" Seven asked: "It's very likely that the crows are related to his Disaster Authority, and since he's been actively avoiding us, it's possible that he's up to something"
"Him trying to open a crow farm is technically a normal behaviour, so we can't interfere" Chang Xia rubbed his forehead as he replied: "Notify the police department to send a few people to monitor him, if there are any suspicious movements, stop it"
"Do we have to borrow people from them again? Last time, they hesitated and wanted to refuse with the reason that they were busy. They're probably going to be even more reluctant this time" Seven couldn't help but complain: "Limiting our funding and manpower, and yet they still want us to handle everything properly, seriously…"
Sometimes, the D.E.R division felt like they were wearing heavy shackles. Even when they wanted to exert their strength, they found themselves caught in chains and couldn't exert anything at all.
"It's okay, let's get back to work" Chang Xia stopped Seven's words. Under normal circumstances, they had enough manpower to deal with most situations, but unfortunately, they sent a lot of people to another region to cooperate with a mission, who are still on their way back. And then came the Disaster King Apophis who they needed to delegate a large amount of their personnel to, not to mention the mysterious Authority Holder who was secretly acting in the shadows.
"Our focus is still on the protection of the Disaster King. It's been very turbulent lately, the Disaster King is still unable to control his own Disasforce yet so there's no telling if someone would try something during this time either" Chang Xia said with a serious tone.
Disaster Kings are powerful, so powerful that they would initially be unable to control their own Disasforce most of the time, which requires long-term training and adaptation to remedy.
Once they adapted to using Disasforce, even if a Disaster King didn't exercise their Authority, the terrifying Disasforce they possessed was more than enough to drive countless people to despair.
The recent reports showed that there were two groups of people who had been causing trouble in the 6th domain. The first group were the infected people, what they've done up to this point couldn't be considered to be very serious, the only notable issue was the death of a certain internet author who frequently updated new chapters.
While the second group, or rather, the other individual, was much more brutal. His killing so far has been for a very specific purpose. The common characteristic of those who were killed was that they were more or less VIPs in the 6th domain. Although Chang Xia didn't know what these guys had done, with how they commonly acted, it was natural for them to be hated by others.
Because of that, the fact that a new Authority Holder tried to use their newfound power to take revenge on these VIPs wasn't anything unexpected. And they also understood this, as most of the VIPs who had done something against their conscience had either holed themselves up in their well-protected homes or left the 6th domain on 'vacation'.
"Let's hope our man isn't someone blinded by hatred" Chang Xia rubbed his forehead again. Humans weren't perfectly rational like robots, so when they were influenced by hatred and acted hot-headedly, it would be very easy for them to attempt something with irreversibly serious consequences.
