Chapter 562 Dragon Group
Chapter 562 Dragon Group
After a brief chat with Fang Xin, Tang Zijun waved and called Xiao Yue and Zhang Wei over.
"These two are old friends of mine and are currently key members of the Magic Surveillance Bureau. In fact, with their seniority, they could have been promoted to the level of five-star agents long ago, but since the regional heads are still five-star, they haven't been promoted too quickly."
"I have a feeling I'll be five stars when I get back this time, haha." Xiao Yue waved his four arms (two scythes, two forelimbs) at Fang Xin. "Fang Xin, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Xiao Yue, and also the captain of the action team that was in charge of your disappearance case."
"My name is Zhang Wei, I'm from Northeast China. I used to be in charge of security for the World of the World Research Group, so I guess you could say I was the department head." Zhang Wei smiled as well. "It's all thanks to Mr. Tang." "Hello, leaders." Fang Xin greeted them politely, which elicited even more smiles from the others.
"Don't be so hesitant. Here, you're the leader," Xiao Yue said with a smile. "Although you're only a four-star, your security level has reached six stars, and you possess special privileges. You're ranked one level above any other official. From today onwards, you're our leader."
"Seeing...seeing an official one rank higher?" Fang Xinwen was stunned.
Seeing his dazed look, Zhang Wei thought he hadn't understood, so he explained, "Apart from the director, the two deputy directors, and Mr. Tang, you are automatically ranked one level higher than everyone else you meet, even five-star agents and leaders of other districts."
"Me?" Fang Xin pointed to himself, still somewhat incredulous.
Seeing an official one rank higher than him would be equivalent to seeing an imperial envoy representing the highest leader in ancient times!
Execution first, notification later, a privilege granted by imperial authority.
Heaven bestows blessings, and all taboos are lifted.
Fang Xin felt as if he'd been hit by a pie from the sky. He couldn't fathom why the bureau would trust him so much and entrust him with such an important position. "Can't you accept this?" Tang Zijun patted his back and said softly. "Given your situation and current predicament, I think this position is a bit too small." "Small?" Based on Fang Xin's understanding of the Demon Surveillance Bureau, it was full of hidden talents, and everyone there was extraordinary. Why should he be ranked higher than them? "Please, you now command an organization of thousands of people, own your own territory, and are responsible for rebuilding civilization in the entire wasteland world. What you're doing is no less demanding than what Director Shangguan is doing; in fact, it's even more complicated."
"Yes, yes." Fang Xin thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. He hadn't really thought about it deeply before; he had only been focused on how to make his brothers' lives better. After a pause, he looked up at Xiao Yue. "Um... Mr. Xiao, right?"
"Just call me by my name." Xiao Yue waved his sickle. "We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite."
"Xiao Yue." Fang Xin opened his mouth, feeling something was off, but he didn't think much of it and asked, "You just said you were the captain of the action team in charge of my disappearance. How are my parents now?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue's expression became slightly more serious. "Your parents are doing well. We've already told them part of your situation. Your parents are very open-minded and supportive, and they've asked you to wait." "Huh?" Fang Xin's lips twitched. "Wait, wait for what?"
"I don't know, the exact words were just 'wait and see'." Xiao Yue shrugged.
Seeing Fang Xin's tearful face, Tang Zijun chuckled and shook her head, then patted him on the back and casually pulled Lei Sen over to introduce him as well. "Mr. Lei Sen, right? The legendary scavenger of the wasteland, I've heard so much about you." Fang Xin looked at Lei Sen and quickly flashed a sunny smile. Clearly, he knew Lei Sen very well as well.
"Legendary Scavenger? I think I heard others call him that during the battle. Mr. Leisen is that amazing." Zhang Wei was somewhat surprised, then couldn't help but ask, "Could you tell me how he got that title?"
"About this..." Fang Xin didn't answer immediately, but instead cast a questioning look at Leisen. Seeing that the other party didn't react, he began to explain. "The reason why Mr. Leisen is called a 'legend' is because he is the only person in the wasteland who has escaped from the Omnic prison and has never been captured by the Omnics again. He even escaped from the hands of an Epoch God. This is something that many people wouldn't even dare to dream of."
"Could you tell me more about it?" Zhang Wei became increasingly curious.
Fang Xin smiled and said in a deep voice, "That was a long time ago. At that time, the omnics were capturing wastelanders and scavengers everywhere for experiments. They were all locked up in secret facilities and regularly released into the laboratories in the Pocket Universe. Mr. Rayson was one of those who were captured."
"However, unlike others, Mr. Leisen did not give up on survival when faced with the supposedly impregnable smart facility, where even a mosquito could not fly out. For a long time, he accumulated strength, maintained his physical resilience and vitality, and waited for the opportunity to come."
"Finally, he got the perfect opportunity—he was about to be sent to the Pocket Universe. That day was the first time his cell door was opened since he arrived, and it was also his only chance." "When the omnics came in to escort him, he suddenly sprang into action, single-handedly defeating two omnics and kidnapping one of them, forcibly triggering its information flow teleportation." "It was a high-stakes gamble, because he could very well be teleported anywhere, even into an omnic's lair, but he won. He successfully escaped and shattered the impression that omnics were invincible."
At this point, Fang Xin turned to look at Lei Sen. "Later, the omnics launched a large-scale manhunt for Mr. Lei Sen, and his deeds gradually spread, and people began to call him a legend." Listening to Fang Xin's account, Xiao Yue and Zhang Wei looked at Lei Sen with admiration. Although they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, they could imagine how dangerous it must have been. Escaping from such a place required skill, ability, and luck, but the most crucial factors were calm thinking, execution, and decisive action. They hadn't expected that this seemingly simple and honest burly man would have such a past.
Feeling a little embarrassed by their intense gazes, Leisen turned his head away. "It's not as outrageous as he makes it out to be. I just got lucky." "You're too modest, Mr. Leisen. Many people in our Dragon Group have great respect for you."
"puff."
As Fang Xin was speaking, Tang Zijun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but choke.
"What, what did you say you are?"
"See... Dragon, Dragon Group, what's wrong, leader?" Fang Xin blinked, wondering if he had broken some taboo. Tang Zijun's lips twitched. "How did you come up with this name for your organization? Even I, a third-rate author, don't use such an outdated and common name. This name is older than me, you know?" "Actually, my initial idea was to call it Dragon Group...after all, the shadow legion you summoned before left a deep impression." Fang Xin scratched his head. "Then I thought, with so many people, I might as well call it Dragon Group. You know, there are no dragons in this world, neither Eastern nor Western dragons. There was only a kind of serpentine atmospheric creature, but it's extinct. I even explained the origin of the name 'Dragon' to the brothers."
At this point, Fang Xin looked up at Tang Zijun again. "Speaking of which, boss, is it alright for me to have this name? Will it break any rules? Otherwise, I can change it." "It's fine, no need to change it." Tang Zijun shook her head. "But since you've chosen this name, don't let it down. We are all descendants of the dragon, and I hope that each of you can be like a dragon, bringing this totem to the world in a better way." "Yes, I definitely will!" Fang Xin nodded firmly.
At the same time, he keenly sensed the unusual tone in Tang Zijun's voice. "Boss, you're leaving again, aren't you?"
"Yes." Tang Zijun did not hide anything. "I came here to expel the epoch gods of this timeline. Now is not the time to fight the epoch gods. Besides, they are hiding at the end of time, and it is not easy to eradicate them."
"Are you going to the dream world?" Fang Xin understood Tang Zijun's meaning after a moment's thought and quickly spoke up. "Is there anything I can help you with? I still have quite a few weapons here, and I've recently seized some more." "You should keep these for now. With these hundred or so agents joining, they need enough weapons for familiarization and training. Building a large force as soon as possible is more important than anything else." Tang Zijun shook her head slightly, politely declining Fang Xin's offer.
After a pause, Tang Zijun seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "By the way, how's the thing I asked you to do going?" Fang Xinyan was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized what she meant.
"Is it about that stuttering little girl?"
