Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 134 - 104, Illusion_2

"I have no clue," Tang Wanqiu shook her head slightly.

"I do have a hypothesis," Lin Qing spoke up, "I suspect the person in charge, No. 1, is..."

He had only spoken the words "I suspect" when he saw Tang Wanqiu suddenly frown and put a finger to her lips.

He naturally switched gear, "is one of the members who infiltrated the Underground Research Institute, probably had scouted the Research Institute long ago and has been hiding in Lin’an City, which is why they could act so quickly."

Tang Wanqiu then opened her mouth to speak, "Indeed, that’s what I think too."

As she spoke, the tip of her finger lit up briefly, swiftly writing three glowing characters in the air,

[Don’t interfere]

Was she guarding against eavesdropping? Lin Qing glanced at Tang Wanqiu’s cell phone, then said, "Right, I’m supposed to go to the Inspection Headquarters at the end of the month for the presentation of Special Grade Merit and the promotion to Senior Patrol Chief. Should it be in Lin’an City, or should we talk about it at the Inspection Headquarters?"

"Let’s discuss it when you reach the Inspection Headquarters."

Tang Wanqiu said, "This mission is commissioned by the Inspection Headquarters; the Special Grade Merit shouldn’t be issued by Lin’an City Bureau. As for the promotion to Senior Patrol Chief, it can only happen at the Headquarters."

"Alright," sighed Lin Qing, "I was supposed to go to the Headquarters with Xu Qiu, but now it seems I have to go alone."

Tang Wanqiu smiled and said, "Don’t worry, your General Captain from Lin’an City will also accompany you to the Inspection Headquarters."

"What?" Lin Qing was slightly startled, "Yuan Anping?"

"Yes," Tang Wanqiu replied, "he underwent Genetic Awakening. According to the rules, once any Patrol personnel experience Genetic Awakening, they are qualified to receive training at the Headquarters for a period."

"Genetic Awakening?" Lin Qing couldn’t help but express his surprise.

"Last night, while he was leading a team on a search, he encountered members from the Original Research Institute hidden within Lin’an City, who were attacked by several criminals of comparable strength. To survive, he had no choice but to forcibly attempt Awakening," Tang Wanqiu sighed.

Lin Qing’s mind raced.

The Original Research Institute had even attacked an Inspector last night for that Underground Research Institute; it was only natural to also target a Patrol Chief...

"His luck was quite good, managing a successful awakening with only about ten percent chance," Tang Wanqiu commented, "Although he’s a weak Genetic Awakened being, if he significantly improves his Combat Skill, that might somewhat compensate."

Lin Qing hadn’t expected such a turn of events.

"At the end of the month, someone from the Headquarters will come to pick you both up," Tang Wanqiu said, "You can go to the Headquarters together with him."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

...

After leaving the Inspector’s hotel, Lin Qing took Zhao Jiayi with him to the City Bureau.

As a Patrol Chief of Lin’an City, he naturally had a private office in the City Patrol Bureau.

"I need to make a phone call."

Lin Qing told Zhao Jiayi before heading to the nearby Conference Room.

After closing the door, Lin Qing scanned the seldom-used Conference Room and asked, "Is there any surveillance here?"

"No," Chen Guang replied.

Only then did Lin Qing speak with ease, "You just said that the Inspector being seriously injured was a ruse?"

"Yes," Chen Guang replied, "At the time, the closest distance between you and her was exactly thirty centimeters. Through the Chuanxing Tower, I sensed her condition; there were no injuries at all."

Lin Qing pondered and then revealed some unknown information, "General Captain Yuan Anping might be the No. 1 person in charge of the Yuanhong Society. His real strength is very strong. A puppet formed solely by his genetic ability is comparable to a Senior Patrol Chief..."

"Furthermore, the day he ambushed me, there was no intent to kill, just putting on a show."

Continuing, Lin Qing questioned, "Based on this information we have now, can you deduce any conclusions?"

After a pause, Chen Guang said, "The most likely possibility... Yuan Anping is an undercover inspector sent to the Bright Society, but the Bright Society had him infiltrate the Patrol as well."

"I suspected that too," Lin Qing nodded slightly.

"I accessed the action records of Lin’an City’s Patrol. A few days ago, while you and another Patrol Chief were conducting a search, you were ambushed by the No. 1 person in charge of the Yuanhong Society."

Chen Guang stated, "Based on the subsequent events, it seems that Yuan Anping knew the Bright Society was about to activate the Underground Research Institute, so he first made Xu Qiu disappear, then ambushed you to blow the situation out of proportion. This would compel the Inspection Headquarters to intensify their search and prevent the success of the Bright Society."

"Oh?" Lin Qing thought carefully and found that it indeed made sense.

"Of course, these conjectures rely on the unknown information you provided."

"There must be no real intent to kill from him, just putting on a show," Chen Guang added, "otherwise, there are other significant possibilities."

"You can deduce based on this," Lin Qing stated.

The changes in Order Level don’t lie.

"Now, he has intentionally broken through and undergone a Genetic Awakening to become a very ordinary Genetic Awakened."

Chen Guang said, "This must be the intent of the Bright Society, Lin’an’s biggest secret is this Underground Research Institute, and now that it has been opened, Lin’an has lost its value. The Bright Society probably thought it was a waste to keep him in Lin’an, so they let him use this opportunity to become a Genetic Awakened and infiltrate the headquarters."

Lin Qing pondered.

"Last night, indeed, was the most reasonable time."

Chen Guang said, "Members of the Original Research Institute were indeed hiding in Lin’an, and it’s normal for him to encounter a few during a search by his team, only a life-threatening crisis could prompt him to attempt Genetic Awakening otherwise, a mere ten percent chance during peaceful times would be too irrational to try for Awakening."

Lin Qing thought for a long time and said, "What about Xu Qiu?"

"Most likely she is still alive, otherwise there would be no need for her disappearance."

Chen Guang said, "Xu Qiu is probably the bargaining chip the Bright Society is using to threaten Inspector Tang; they might have already threatened him, otherwise they wouldn’t have so smoothly taken that biological weapon last night."

She paused and then said, "If I’m guessing correctly, we’ll likely find Xu Qiu coincidentally very soon."

Lin Qing slightly shook his head, "The situation is indeed complicated."

"Master, I advise you to best not get involved."

Chen Guang said, "Such a major matter as the Underground Research Institute hasn’t been exposed by Yuan Anping, there must be a bigger plot at play, so Inspector Tang warned you not to interfere. She must also have received hints from higher-ups, playing along with Yuan Anping’s facade."

Lin Qing nodded.

"The Original Research Institute of the Bright Society must have acquired part of father’s legacy."

Chen Guang said, "It’s a pity that your current strength is too weak, otherwise with my help, we could also try to take part of it."

"We’ll talk about it when I’m strong enough," said Lin Qing. "Anyway, my approach is to be cautious, I won’t enter the fray without sufficient confidence, and if one path is blocked, I’ll just switch to another."

"Yes," responded Chen Guang.

...

The next day, the Inspector Team left Lin’an.

From that day on, Lin’an seemed to have completely calmed down, underground forces disbanded one after another, and Yuanhong Society completely vanished without a trace.

Lin Qing spent each day busy cultivating and paying off debts, while also contemplating the Star Refining Skill.

By the end of the month, his ’Instantaneous Light’ debt would be fully paid, and then he could advance his Star Refining Skill.

He also practiced the Combat Skill of the Divine Transformation Series daily, and under the conditions of attending the ’Mind Meditation Class’ once a day, the progress of the Divine Transformation Series was quite fast.

Half a month later.

The Huiji City Patrol Team, during a search, accidentally discovered a hidden underground space where they found Xu Qiu, perfectly intact.

Thus, Xu Qiu was coincidentally rescued.

Time passed day by day.

Before they knew it, it was June 26.

Tomorrow would be the day to leave for the Inspection Headquarters.

...

Early in the morning.

Lin Qing got up and went to the Mind Meditation Class as usual.

Today might be his last time attending this Mind Meditation Class, as he likely won’t have time in the future.

With the rhythmic tapping noise fading away, the students finally opened their eyes.

Lin Qing opened his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Master, it’s the last day, won’t you ask clearly?" After the class, Chen Guang couldn’t help but remind him.

Lin Qing was silent for a moment, then walked forward and quickly approached the middle-aged man, saying, "Teacher, this is my last time here, may I ask you a question?"

The middle-aged man smiled warmly and said, "Follow me."

Lin Qing, however, slightly shook his head and asked, "Is that necessary?"

"Oh?" The middle-aged man looked at him with a smile.

Lin Qing sighed and glanced around at the students wearing wooden masks, speaking softly, "After all, they are just my hallucinations, is there a need to avoid them?"
