My career aspirations have come true.

Chapter 37: Hoping Lin Ze can hold on a little longer

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Tang Wangshu, who was training, was called out by an urgent phone call from her sister.

As soon as I reached the gate of the North District Detachment's headquarters, I saw Tang Wangyan leaning against a black SUV, her brows furrowed and her expression unusually grave.

"Get in the car first, we'll talk more on the way."

Before Tang Wangyan could finish speaking, she had already opened the driver's side door and hurriedly got in.

Tang Wangshu suppressed her doubts and quickly sat in the passenger seat. As soon as she fastened her seatbelt, a palm-sized silver instrument was shoved into her hand.

Looking down, a short antenna stood upright on the top of the instrument, its casing gleaming with a cold, hard metallic sheen, making it look like a miniature radar.

"Take this."

Tang Wangyan started the engine while giving instructions in a solemn tone.

"Recall everything about Lin Ze in your mind: his age, appearance, personality, hobbies, what he likes to eat, the more details you can think of, the better."

"Sis, what happened?"

Tang Wangshu held the instrument, his face full of confusion.

"Don't ask any questions, just do as I say."

Tang Wangshu had no choice but to close her eyes as instructed, her mind racing with information about Lin Ze.

19 years old, birthday December 9th, 184 cm tall, with handsome features yet exuding a calm demeanor, decisive, values ​​family, enjoys collecting documents and books about cataclysmic eras, and occasionally carries chocolate in his pocket, saying it provides a quick energy boost...

Drip!

A sharp notification sound suddenly rang out, interrupting Tang Wangshu's thoughts.

She opened her eyes and looked down, finding that the instrument screen was lit up with two bright spots appearing on it.

The green dot at the top is stationary, while the yellow dot at the bottom is moving slowly.

"This is a mind-tracking locator, which can pinpoint the location of a target by recalling relevant information about it."

As Tang Wangyan explained, she gave her younger sister a strange look.

The characteristics of the recall positioning device are that the higher the information density and accuracy of the recall, the faster the locking speed and the higher the precision.

Tang Wangyan successfully located Lin Ze in just over ten seconds, which is quite efficient and shows that she knows Lin Ze very well.

It's hard to say whether there's any attraction, but they've definitely paid a lot of attention to each other on a regular basis.

"So it's a rare object."

Tang Wangshu didn't notice her sister's gaze at all, curiously examining the thing in her hand, but quickly realized what was going on.

"Sis, why are you locating Lin Ze's position?"

When serious matters were mentioned, Tang Wangyan's expression immediately became solemn.

"I didn't tell you before, but I was transferred to the North District Detachment with a mission."

"What mission?"

"Traces of Holy Priest activities have been discovered in the North District. My mission is to find the members of the Holy Priests."

"The Holy Priests?" Tang Wangshu blinked, her face blank. "What's that?"

"A cult full of mysticism." Tang Wangyan curled her lip in disdain. "They package themselves as messengers of the gods, but in reality they are a group of thieves. They are best at extracting skills and talents from professionals, converting them into cards, and then keeping them for themselves."

"They actually managed to do something like that?" Tang Wangshu's eyes widened in surprise.

She had never heard of a professional's skills and talents being able to be recreated as cards. How was that possible?

Skill? Or a rare item?

"It's not that simple." Tang Wangyan's gaze turned slightly cold. "The professional whose skills and talents are extracted will die on the spot, and the success rate is very low. Sometimes, a life cannot even be exchanged for an ordinary card."

Tang Wangshu felt a chill in his heart.

To plunder others' skills and talents at the cost of their lives is undoubtedly an utterly evil path!

No wonder it was officially classified as a cult.

"Then why have I never heard of the Holy Priests before?" Tang Wangshu asked in confusion.

"I don't know the specifics, but I do know that the higher-ups have blocked information about the Holy Priests, probably to avoid causing panic. Also, the Holy Priests operate in secrecy, and ordinary people can't get in touch with them."

"That......"

Tang Wangshu was about to ask another question when her sister interrupted her.

"Do you remember when I said I was going to investigate the cause of death of a former member of Group Eight?"

"I had the bodies re-examined, and all four bodies showed signs of skill extraction, exactly the same method used by the Holy Priests. They didn't die in a guild ambush, but at the hands of Holy Priests members."

Tang Wangshu's expression changed: "You mean... Jiang Lei?"

"That's right."

Tang Wangyan's gaze was sharp as a knife.

"I investigated Jiang Lei's resume. He was unknown and mediocre for the first six years after joining the Legion. But then he suddenly showed extraordinary talent. If I'm not mistaken, he should have joined the Holy Priests around that time."

"In addition, I discovered that he also had secret connections with the Black Stone Society. He was very likely an informant for the Black Stone Society in the North District branch. He was responsible for providing intelligence, and the Black Stone Society sent him cannon fodder to make contributions. The two sides used each other."

Tang Wangshu was shocked. He never expected that the group leader, who was usually gentle and caring like an elder, was actually a hidden cult member and was colluding with the Black Stone Society.

and many more!

Tang Wangshu suddenly realized something, her expression changed, and she asked, "You're in such a hurry to find Lin Ze, could it be that Jiang Lei has his eye on him?"

Tang Wangyan sighed and said, "After finding out Jiang Lei's identity, I rushed over immediately, but I was still a step too late. Just over half an hour ago, Jiang Lei took Lin Ze out under the pretext of going to work. He probably has his eye on the two excellent-level skills that Lin Ze possesses."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wangshu's heart sank to the bottom.

Jiang Lei is a level 4 professional, and he's also cunning and ruthless. Once he's targeted, how can Lin Ze possibly survive?

"Sis, faster!" Tang Wangshu clenched her fists. "We can't let anything happen to Lin Ze!"

Tang Wangyan didn't say anything, but silently pressed the accelerator to the floor.

The SUV sped through the streets like a black lightning bolt, blurring the scenery along the roadside into blurry afterimages.

After talking with her sister that day, Tang Wangshu also conducted some investigation into Lin Ze.

Unlike Jiang Lei, Lin Ze has a clean background, and his growth from childhood to adulthood is traceable.

After joining the legion, his activities were quite simple. Apart from going to work, he went back and forth between his apartment and the base, with no signs of contact with any suspicious persons.

He is also very hardworking and diligent; besides attending classes, he is always training.

Perhaps that's why he was able to master two excellent-level skills at level 2.

Of course, you can't achieve this level of achievement just by working hard.

Just as his sister said, Lin Ze was exceptionally talented.

Given time, they will surely become the backbone of the legion's fighting force.

It would be such a pity if such a genius died at the hands of cultists.

Now we can only hope that Lin Ze can hold on a little longer and hold on until they arrive.

Although she knew very well that the hope was extremely slim.
