Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 622 - 484 Ba Wuqi

Chen Gu twirled a wine glass in his hand. He indeed had some questions. "Over these years, have you figured out who set you up?"

Wu Lusi's face twitched slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "It was Delongtiya."

Chen Gu nodded. "That shows you're not entirely foolish."

Delongtiya was his former superior, the one who had "rescued" him at a critical moment, pulling him out of prison and sending him to the base as a recruit instructor. He was also the one who later single-handedly mentored Ding Zhou. Delongtiya had retired forty years ago and passed away thirteen years ago.

After Aviloya took office, she had specifically investigated everything concerning Wu Lusi.

Wu Lusi's meteoric rise back then had threatened Delongtiya's position, as Delongtiya was striving to become Director-General. With Wu Lusi consistently achieving remarkable feats, Delongtiya found he could no longer suppress him. If Wu Lusi surpassed Delongtiya in rank, Delongtiya would never catch up, and the Director-General position would be forever out of his reach.

So, Delongtiya orchestrated the incident, likely with the initial goal of merely striking Wu Lusi and causing him to fail his advancement to the Sixth Energy Level. Many geniuses would have crumbled under such a double blow, but not Wu Lusi. After lying low for six months, he actually succeeded in his second attempt to reach the Sixth Energy Level!

Left with no other options, Delongtiya proceeded with his subsequent plans, which led to the incident where Wu Lusi supposedly attempted a "jailbreak." As Wu Lusi's direct superior, it wasn't difficult for Delongtiya to arrange tasks that made some of Wu Lusi's actions resemble preparations for a jailbreak, ensuring he appeared at specific places at specific times. Then, he personally had Wu Lusi placed under house arrest in that nearly abandoned base.

However, Delongtiya ultimately only rose to the position of Deputy Director. Neither the rank and file of the Bureau of Mystic Security nor the higher echelons of leadership were fools. Although there was no concrete evidence of Delongtiya's actions, everyone secretly understood what had transpired. Thus, they would never entrust the Bureau of Mystic Security to such a person. Delongtiya later vigorously promoted Ding Zhou to ensure a layer of "protection" for himself after retirement, to avoid future repercussions.

Chen Gu then asked, "What did Ding Zhou offer you in exchange for trying to kill me?"

Wu Lusi hesitated again and didn't answer directly. "Why are you asking all this?"

Chen Gu raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps I could fulfill the conditions Ding Zhou promised you."

Wu Lusi frowned, clearly skeptical. But with no bargaining chips left, he ultimately chose to confess, "He promised to release Lilith."

Without betraying any emotion, Chen Gu asked, "You don't hate her?"

Wu Lusi shook his head. "Looking back, at that time... her mother was gravely ill, and we were still students. What else could a girl like her do?"

"When you really think about it, I was the one who dragged her into this. If they hadn't been targeting me, her past would never have been dug up, and she wouldn't have been implicated and imprisoned."

Chen Gu nodded. "At least you're reasonable and have a conscience."

He sent his address to Wu Lusi. "Go and rest for now. I'll arrange everything and then come find you."

Chen Gu stood up to leave, but Wu Lusi called out to him, then said somewhat sheepishly, "I... I'm penniless."

Chen Gu laughed heartily and settled the bill for the drinks.

Chen Gu headed straight for the Bureau of Mystic Security headquarters, not to settle scores with Ding Zhou, but to Aviloya's office. Qing Ruyan was about to intercept him, but the office door had already opened, and Aviloya beckoned Chen Gu inside.

After Chen Gu entered, Aviloya made a few subtle adjustments, and the entire office was physically sealed.

Chen Gu asked, "Can we speak freely? No need to worry about network leaks?"

Aviloya nodded. "Agent No. 21 cannot infiltrate this place. I've severed all network connections."

Chen Gu nodded. "The plan we discussed earlier needs a key figure. We hadn't found one until now, but I think Wu Lusi is very suitable."

Aviloya seemed to have anticipated this. "Let's go over the details."

「...」

The next day, Wu Lusi was assigned an ordinary job on Capital Star, seemingly destined to live out the remainder of his days in obscurity.

However, three days later, he abruptly left Capital Star. He reappeared on a remote planet under development by the Confederation and broke his ex-girlfriend, Lilith, out of a low-security labor reform prison.

Thus, Wu Lusi once again became a wanted fugitive of the Confederation and was intensely pursued by the authorities.

「...」

Both Aviloya and Chen Gu knew the plan was risky, but there's no such thing as a perfect plan in this world. Having chosen Wu Lusi, they could only continue to trust him.

Moreover, since that day, to maintain secrecy, neither of them ever mentioned the plan again in any setting.

On this particular day, while Chen Gu was sleeping, he suddenly entered a dream. In his mind, the ancient, weighty tome, "The Past of Four Hundred People," began to turn its pages. Golden light flashed, and it seemed more than one page was being turned.

The next morning, Chen Gu awoke. His thoughts delved into his consciousness, and "The Past of Four Hundred People" materialized before him. He flipped through the pages one by one, quickly reaching what had been the final page: Meng Moshi.

Then, that page also turned, and a new page appeared before Chen Gu's eyes.

On this page, the portrait depicted a figure completely enveloped in heavy armor. Chen Gu recognized it at a glance: this was the Heavy Nuclear Armor.

Unlike the previous Milna Katerina, this person could be described as "armed to the teeth."

He carried a greatsword as wide as a door panel on his back. From this angle, only the hilt was clearly visible, engraved with a series of nuclear formulas. Strands of crimson nuclear energy, like ribbons, continuously drifted from the sword's blade.

His right arm was fitted with over a dozen special components that seemed capable of combining into some kind of weapon. His left forearm was wrapped with a special coil that extended to his left shoulder, connecting to a short cannon in his hand. Various grenade launchers, missile launch units, and more were mounted on other parts of his body.

The entire person resembled a mobile weapons platform.

From head to toe, only two bright, piercing eyes were visible.

In the blank spaces on either side of the portrait, the left side read:

Name: Ba Wuqi

Profession: Nuclear Explosion Nun

Origin: Atomic Holy Church

Abilities: Biological Nuclear Explosion

Mind Belief

Radiation Scouring

Atomic Life

Heavy Nuclear Armor

Perpetual Nuclear Reactor

...

To the right:

She was unnaturally strong for a girl even in childhood. Born in the underworld, she learned early on to use her fists to protect her interests.

At the age of twelve, she realized the "power of fists" was severely lacking, so she personally fashioned a hand cannon.

By fourteen, she could skillfully disassemble and reassemble nine models of vehicle-mounted missiles. At that age, she was already stronger than the vast majority of adult men. Man-portable missiles felt "as light as a little girl's toy" to her, so she chose to shoulder vehicle-mounted missiles instead!

At sixteen, war reached her homeland. Her "brothers" under her command fell like wheat in a hurricane before the overwhelming firepower of the regular army.

At that moment, the "Fear of Insufficient Firepower" and "Delusion of Inadequate Ammunition" deeply embedded in her genes finally erupted.

She was taken in by the Atomic Holy Church after the war and, by chance, eventually found the cure for her two conditions: becoming a Nuclear Explosion Holy Woman!

She was the most radical and brutal warrior in the history of the Atomic Holy Church. If not for her relentless emphasis on "great firepower" and "long endurance," she would not have stopped at the Eighth Energy Level.

Even so, she was recognized as the number one combat maniac of the Eighth Energy Level in her era!

It turns out to be a woman!

Chen Gu couldn't help but look at the portrait again. He quickly recognized the various weapons Ba Wuqi had attached to the exterior of the Heavy Nuclear Armor.

What surprised him most were the dozens of special components fitted to her right arm. This was a nuclear anti-matériel sniper rifle used by a heavy mecha from the Atomic Holy Church, the Sun Chaser III type.

Simply put, it used the energy supplied by the heavy mecha's nuclear reactor to target Close Range Attack Ships or the armaments of war machines.

Due to Ba Wuqi's near-obsessive fixation on firepower, she used her own biological nuclear energy as a power source, relying on her superior physical conditioning to counteract the recoil, and wielded this heavy mecha weapon—a weapon that even standard armored vehicles might struggle to use stably.

When Chen Gu saw the anti-matériel nuclear rifle—cleverly divided into over a dozen components that could be quickly assembled into a super-sized gun in critical moments—he unexpectedly felt a sense of empathy, as if great minds think alike!

Good grief, "The Past of Four Hundred People" has already given me enough "quirks," Chen Gu thought, suddenly vigilant. I absolutely cannot afford to pick up "Fear of Insufficient Firepower" or "Delusion of Inadequate Ammunition" too!

However, Chen Gu was still very satisfied to have unlocked Ba Wuqi's page. His most fundamental abilities came from the Radiation Missionary, and Milna Katerina was no longer suitable. Now that he had an Eighth Energy Level Nuclear Explosion Nun, when possessed by her memories, he could exert the strength of a Sixth Energy Level Radiation Missionary! This was a significant improvement.

Especially since my old iron-headed, reckless tactics are making a comeback!

But why, amidst his excitement, did Great Actor Chen still feel somewhat jittery?

Chen Gu himself just smiled wryly and then tried to turn the page with his thoughts.

In the dream, he vaguely remembered seeing a vast expanse of golden light, as if "The Past of Four Hundred People" had turned more than one page.

But I don't have high expectations; after all, it was just a dream. Getting Ba Wuqi is already great.

Yet, unexpectedly, this time there was indeed a surprise: the page after Ba Wuqi actually flipped to another one.

And the "character" on this page stunned him.

Despite wearing military gear that was clearly of human style, Chen Gu instantly recognized it as one of the Subterraneans, a former target from their practical course for newcomers!
