Yun Ming fiddled with a few items in his hand, his thoughts were quite messy.
The things in his hand are the black box, the black eye, the dark ear and the federal special department ID card. Not long ago, Kuriyama Yoshiko took him to receive a set of mobile specialist equipment and registered it. Now Yun Ming has transformed from a mercenary struggling in the gray world to a federal civil servant.
Kuriyama Yoshiko was very kind. Thinking that Yun Ming had experienced a lot in the past ten hours, she took Yun Ming to the room to rest first. She would talk more about the ninth branch later.
Yun Ming was also happy, not because he was in a hurry to repair, but because he really needed a place to be alone for a while.
Yun Ming's room is a double dormitory. He lives alone and has no roommates. The room is not big, but it is fully equipped. Yun Ming remembered that he had heard from Kuriyama Yoshiko that a large number of the commissioners of the Ninth Branch had been transferred away. In addition, it was still working time at the moment, so he might be the only one in the entire three-story underground living area of the Ninth Branch.
His "home" used to be an RV. Xia Yan had already ordered someone to drive the RV and drive here with his household belongings. He arrived in a few hours, which was so considerate.
Now, there's a lot to sort out, so let's take our time. Yun Ming pointed his temples and recited silently.
Grabbing the pen and paper, Yun Ming began to think.
1. The mysterious employer and the goods.
As far as we know so far, the employer's original arrangement was for the goods to be shipped from Nanjing to Shanghai Port. There was an ocean cruise ship at Pier 7, and the employer arranged for another team of people to receive it. It is unknown whether the goods were traded on the cruise ship or shipped elsewhere.
One force wanted to take action at the dock, but the head of BTS's ninth branch led his men to seize the cargo. Lu Yin, the head of BTS's headquarters, even personally led a team to seize the goods.
Yun Ming drew three symbols on the paper, representing the employer, BTS, and the mysterious force respectively.
The mysterious force Yun Ming knows nothing about it, but he can get a glimpse of the existing information about his employer and BTS.
Yun Ming's previous reasoning about his employer was flawed. Just talking about hiring a dozen experts, this number accounts for half of the middle and upper-level people in the industry. If someone is willing to count how many experts are hired at the same time, and combined with the expertise of the employees, they can roughly estimate what the task is and how big it is. Then the employer's behavior of organizing half of the industry's elite escorts is equivalent to actively telling people with ill intentions that I am going to make big moves.
Secondly, Yun Ming misjudged the strength of the escort team. Yun Ming didn't know that superpowers existed in this world before, but from a practical point of view, a ghost level could wipe out a fully armed team of fifteen people and still have some strength left.
Divine mist, ability person. Yun Ming wrote these two words on another piece of paper and analyzed them later.
There is no doubt about the preciousness of the escorted items, but Yun Ming's team of ordinary people cannot hold it at all, and Jiang Yao is certainly not among them. According to Xia Yan, this mysterious girl may serve a higher level. What organization is higher than BTS? Security Bureau? Yun Ming classified Jiang Yao and the organization behind her as the fourth party.
Are employers aware of the existence of capable people? Yun Ming didn't believe that his employer didn't know, so if the employer arranged for Yun Ming and the others to be bodyguards, they would be cannon fodder. But since both the left and right are cannon fodder, is it necessary to find a group of experts to be cannon fodder? It doesn't make sense.
2. BTS.
This department also has an evil streak, and Yun Ming feels that the attitude of several department bosses is too friendly towards him. Yun Ming thinks so not because he is a bitch, but because he believes that there must be a demon when something goes wrong.
I am a time traveler after all, but I feel like I am not taken seriously at all. I'm afraid that if the BTS minister's oracle hadn't happened, I might have been killed casually in Kunshan.
However, considering that the Federation can set up a special department to manage the affairs of travelers, it proves that there must be a certain number of travelers on this planet, and there will be more undiscovered. BTS leaders must have seen Yun Ming like this a lot. From this point of view, it is normal for them to be strange to themselves. If they were not named by the oracle, BTS would have dealt with them in a different way.
There are also doubts. Why should a civilian department like BTS do something like carjacking? Zhong Yi is very strong, strong enough to fight alone. In fact, Lu Yin and Xia Yan are indeed almost paddling.
Maybe there is a political game at the top involved? This is a possibility that Yun Ming thought of. If this is the case, then the forces behind Jiang Yao were also involved. After all, the goods were eventually taken away by her.
3. Super powers
This is what worries Yun Ming the most. Without him, Yun Ming suspects that he is also a human-level person with super powers!
In the ambush battle in Kunshan City, Jiang Yao's sudden attack was avoided by him. According to Yun Ming's estimation, Jiang Yao's performance at least shows that her level is not below the tiger level. Being able to escape the tiger-level surprise attack with a mortal body and quickly counterattack. Afterwards, everyone including Yun Ming believed that this was due to Yun Ming's excellent instant reaction.
It wasn't until Yun Ming met Pu Cha Shi and learned about Pu Cha Shi's abilities from Kuriyama Yoshiko that Yun Ming thought of other possibilities.
Yun Ming did not see through the "motto" of Pu Che Shi from every flaw. On the contrary, he first saw through the motto and then confirmed the inference from clues.
This is a bit similar to a geometric proof problem where unknown conditions are used to verify the problem, and finally a known conclusion is reached.
When Pu Chai Shi started the first sentence of the conversation, Yun Ming had a vague feeling that this guy was lying, and then he seemed to be drawn to pay attention to things like the clock, the plaster leg, and the book folded backwards.
The same was true in the battle in Kunshan. Yun Ming also felt the danger coming, and a specious force made him turn his head to avoid the attack and then fight back.
During a mission last year, Yun Ming had a similar experience, but he didn't take it to heart and his memory was blurred. If he hadn't thought about it today, Yun Ming would have completely forgotten it soon.
Combining several experiences, he now begins to suspect that he possesses the superpower of being "immune to and able to respond to a certain extent to the attacks of espers".
This is a mouthful, so let me explain it slowly.
"Immunity to ability attacks by ability users" means that Yun Ming can weaken and offset part of the influence of Pu Che Shi's "motto", and "react to a certain extent" means that he can launch a counterattack and search for Jiang Yao in an instant Exposing the flaws in Pu Che Shi's lies.
Why is it said to be immune to ability attacks? Because if the Pu Cha Shi did not use the motto but used the traditional attack method of shooting Yun Ming twice, Yun Ming would definitely be in trouble.
The restriction word "to a certain extent" is added before "reaction" because, although Yun Ming's response was perfect, he was still easily subdued by Jiang Yao.
The problem now is that Yun Ming is not sure that he has super powers.
If his ability is true, then he can only react to ability attacks, but the number of ability users he has seen are only in single digits, let alone being attacked by abilities.
Likewise, human-level physical fitness is not proven.
My predecessor, Yun Ming, was a leader in the mercenary industry, and his body was extremely polished. The muscles are lean and strong, and the 1.78-meter tall man looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed. After the new Yun Ming took over this body, he did not miss out on exercise. After working hard in the gray world for many years, his predecessor Yun Ming not only developed experience and skills, but also developed an intuition for danger.
Xia Yan said that the physical fitness of human-level ability users is comparable to that of professional athletes, and Yun Ming is indeed capable, but his physical fitness has always reached the level of athletes.
As for his response to Jiang Yao's attack, it can be understood that the life of a mercenary has made him have a body memory and a high sensitivity to crises. Everything is just a subconscious reaction of the body.
As for the ability to see through Pu Chai Shi, it's hard to say whether this ability, similar to Spider-Man's "Spider Sense", actually exists or is just a "Yun Ming Yi Ji Ling".
Yun Ming stroked the non-existent beard on his chin, which was his habitual action when thinking. Doing this can provide yourself with psychological hints, calm your mood, and assist in using your brain.
Sure enough, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Yun Ming couldn't hold his chin anymore. Unable to figure it out, he decided to practice it and gain true knowledge.
Pu Cha Shi was the breakthrough he chose.
