Although students had brought security and police, it was evident that the warship descending from the sky held higher authority.

Chen Fei's phone rang again, still showing the special communication number "000000."

Following the instructions from the other side, as soon as the warship landed, he drove the mobile base vehicle into the cargo hold.

Without any delay, the warship carrying Chen Fei and the mobile base vehicle closed its doors and ascended swiftly into the sky, heading toward the distance.

On the ground, Zhang Zhenzhen couldn't even utter a word before seeing Chen Meng's elder brother and that huge "motorhome" board the warship and take off.

"Miss Zhang Zhenzhen, you should keep silent. You saw nothing today, and let's discuss something else!"

One of the two police officers summoned by Zhang Zhenzhen took a deep breath.

Just a phone call, and they were brought to see this?

Damn, this was military secrets, not something civilians should mess with!

Without any further discussion, they took the security guard with them, went back to the station for tea, and studied the confidentiality regulations—which would keep them indoors for a day.

Studying hard, being patriotic every day. If you're not patriotic, even learning is useless; the more you know, the more reactionary you become.

Zhang Zhenzhen's face began to turn green.

Thus, some students witnessed two police officers and two security guards "escorting" Miss Zhang Zhenzhen into a police car. Although there were no handcuffs, the implication was clear.

The artificial intelligence major's Zhang Zhenzhen was once again socially dead, and the rumors spread bizarrely.

The informed school principal was also helpless, don't be so dramatic!

Only Little Sister Chen was completely confused as to why her classmates' gazes had shifted again, and even the puppy-like Meng Yang darted away from her like a mouse from a cat.

She gained another title.

In Jianghu, they call her: Sister Xiao Meng!

No matter how little care, she's still a sister.

The moment the mobile base vehicle entered the ship, about a dozen soldiers rushed over and secured the five wheels onto the cargo deck with swift clicks.

Given its hefty weight nearing 80 tons, if it were to slide while on a slope, even a warship with remarkable carrying capacity would likely struggle.

Seeing someone outside the vehicle waving at him, Chen Fei got out of the car.

"This is your mission briefing!"

A thick and heavy tablet computer was handed to Chen Fei by the active-duty officer.

True confidential files still required viewing the offline digital files, since psychic power users could sense the characters on paper records using their spiritual power, and secrets couldn't be kept.

However, for now, the Blue Star Civilization's network was relatively secure.

Under the control of the highest-grade derivative AI "Cybertrom," Cybertron, network breaches were extremely rare and mostly consisted of officially authorized activities or sovereign level conflicts. Individual access was insufficient to bypass AI control, especially with an AI as rigid as "Cybertrom."

Yet, virus programs were still inevitable, although they would be marked manually and the AI aided in exterminating them immediately after an outbreak, unless it was a smart virus capable of autonomous mutation, which could then cause significant damage.

The tablet held two documents, one from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee for personnel transfer, temporarily relieving Chen Fei from his duties in Team 04 and placing him under local command.

The other was from the local military, needing Chen Fei's assistance in transporting a high-profile criminal, for which the mobile base vehicle would come in handy.

More than two hours later, the Magic Cube Warship landed on a grassland, unloading Chen Fei and the mobile base vehicle.

Following the tablet's directions, after driving northward for a dozen kilometers, he saw several tents and a pile of crashed ground-effect vehicle wreckage.

Chen Fei could tell it was a ground-effect vehicle by its wings, which although shattered into pieces, could still be discerned as originally belonging to a disproportionately large wing surface.

What a sight!

Even a ground-effect vehicle was wrecked to this extent, making one wonder what kind of high-profile criminal it was.

When he saw a vehicle approaching, a soldier guarding outside the tents immediately waved vigorously and shouted, "Over here! Over here!"

Given the location, the approaching vehicle could hardly be anyone else's but the arranged reception vehicle.

Upon reaching there, Chen Fei got out of the vehicle and asked straightforwardly, "Where is the person?"

He had received instructions to assist in transporting a high-profile criminal to a designated location, and was to not meddle with anything else.

When it came to confidentiality, it was hardly a matter to teach or learn. Don't look too much, don't ask too much, don't talk too much, and let everything rot inside you as if nothing happened.

Otherwise, being idly confined until the end of the confidentiality period would be a needless hassle!

It seemed the leading active-duty officer approached and saluted, then said, "Please wait a moment, it will be about half an hour."

He also reminded him, "Please wear the issued protective forehead accessory."

It wasn't just the officer who had a peculiar-shaped protective forehead accessory on his forehead; the soldiers guarding the camp also wore them, apparently as standard issue equipment.

"Protective Forehead Accessory? Yes, the Protective Forehead Accessory!"

Chen Fei fished out a slender item from his pocket that resembled a headband. It followed the arc of his head shape as he snapped it on and then pulled it down to his forehead, with the symmetrical ends reaching all the way to the back of his skull.

This was an alchemical artifact he had received on the airship, designed to stabilize the mind and spiritual power, and to prevent the intrusion of psychic abilities into the brain. This meant the felony prisoner was a psychic power user capable of launching mental attacks without the victim's awareness.

No sooner had the Protective Forehead Accessory been positioned over the forehead than it automatically released a cool sensation that slowly seeped into Chen Fei's brain, making his spirit swiftly become clearer. The sensation was wonderful, akin to a meditation state free of any distracting thoughts.

Xiao Jiu also had one, a small water-drop-shaped pendant buried in the feathers around its neck, which didn't interfere with flying at all.

Had it not mastered the Laser Skills, it probably wouldn't have one, as ordinary Pure Light Sparrows were truly harmless.

"Please follow me and keep your pace slow!"

The officer led Chen Fei towards one of the tents.

They walked side by side, but the latter distinctly felt the former occasionally sneaking glances at him.

What was this about? Was he really that unreliable?

If they didn't trust him, why recruit him at all!

Chen Fei couldn't fathom the reason behind it.

When they were about two steps away from the tent curtain, a sudden intangible force field swept through Chen Fei's body, causing a tingling sensation on his skin. This odd feeling involuntarily made him stop in his tracks.

"What happened?"

The officer also stopped and looked Chen Fei up and down, his observational intent more pronounced.

"Hard to say. There seems to be something unsettling inside."

Chen Fei's intuition was inexplicably on edge, as if something was staring at him silently.

"Are you experiencing a lot of distracting thoughts, feeling like going mad, or even having urges to kill?"

The officer stared intently at Chen Fei, his hand inadvertently resting on his pistol holster.

The soldiers stationed by the tent seemed to be on high alert.

"How could that be? I just feel a strange, creepy sensation."

Chen Fei shrank his neck, but that was the extent of his odd feelings.

The officer seemed to relax a bit, then, seriously yet sincerely, said, "Good, no problem then. If you feel anything else that's off, please let me know immediately—it's very important!"

Chen Fei ventured to ask, "Understood, may I ask if the person inside... is very dangerous?"

"Dangerous, extremely, extremely dangerous!"@@novelbin@@

The officer glanced inadvertently towards the smoky wreckage of a Ground-effect Vehicle nearby. Though he said nothing explicitly, his implication was crystal clear.

It wasn't their first transport mission, but a strangely timed crash had occurred en route; although no severe casualties happened thanks to an all-out emergency landing effort, the target had nearly managed to escape. The transport team had to stay at the crash site on the prairie, calling for backup and waiting for the response team to arrive.

Switching to a Mobile Base Vehicle for transportation meant long-distance land travel, which, even in the event of an accident wouldn't complete disaster due to vehicle failure.

Chen Fei had been chosen for the transport team, not only because of his local registration, deemed relatively reliable, but also because he had undergone a spiritual power test and possessed high resistance to hypnotism and other psychic abilities. His combat ability was also relatively secure.

Although there were other possible candidates locally, they all had their own assignments and couldn't leave at a moment's notice. It just so happened that Chen Fei was in the northern region and had a heavy duty Mobile Base Vehicle, making him suitable for such a transport task.

"May I enter?"

The officer stood at the tent curtain, looking at Chen Fei with no sign of coercion.

This transport involved a very special individual and required great care. Any sort of coercion could easily lead to mishaps, something they should avoid at all costs right now.

"No problem!"

Following the officer, Chen Fei stepped inside the tent.

The tent was extremely spacious, covering about a dozen square meters, with six short columns that seemed to be Magic Instruments positioned around a prisoner in a restraint suit.

The prisoner sat on a chair, his hands cuffed behind his back, and a dark iron colored bell covering his head. The nature of the material was unclear, but the spell array runes and filigree on the bell's surface were faintly flowing with a pale yellow luminescence.

In the corner, a person sat cross-legged, meditating with their eyes closed, showing no intention of opening them even as Chen Fei and the officer walked in.

Six soldiers followed them in, each taking a position behind one of the Magic Instrument short columns.

"We will start the transfer now," the officer waved his hand and then said to the person sitting cross-legged in the corner, "Mr. Ye, thank you for your hard work."

"All right! Is everything normal for the moment?"

The person sitting on the ground slowly opened their eyes, their long hair casually tied behind them, and their demeanor serene and tranquil.

Just as he opened his eyes, Chen Fei felt as if a warm breeze had brushed past his body.
