I changed into a black outfit, the kind the organization's members often wore as black robes, which is why they are called black-robed people.
I stood up and followed Marcus out of the ward. At this moment, I was met with the envious and jealous gazes of countless mental patients. They pointed at me and said, "This lunatic who always sings the national anthem is actually being released!"
"Alas, it seems that fools truly have their own blessings!"
"No, did you hear that just now? The Dragon King wants to see him. This guy is not simple!"
"Ah, Lord Dragon King, Lord Dragon King?"
Those lunatics, for some unknown reason, all knelt and bowed towards me and Marcus through the ward. Wherever we walked, they bowed in that direction. Even after we were far away, they continued to worship.
I left the mental hospital like this. Looking back, I realized that this hospital was the Anxi Town mental hospital we had been to before. It had been occupied by the organization again.
I got into a car with Marcus, not knowing where he was taking me to see the Dragon King.
Who exactly is this Dragon King, and what makes him superior to the Blood King?
He is likely a high-ranking leader of the Polaris criminal organization. I must complete the mission this time. These bastards have no idea about the secret hidden within my body.
Near a remote mountain range, the military armored vehicle, which had been bumping along for a long time, finally stopped. Marcus handed me a cigarette and said, "Detective He, I knew it was you from the start. Don't think that no one will discover you just because you change your face every time. The organization is playing a trick. Do you know that infrasound technology will make you completely forget your past? So, you are already another person now. We are not afraid that you will be the same as before. Haha, alright, I don't want to say more. Later, you tell us about your police matters. We are going to control the entire Guangming City tonight!"
"Okay!" I agreed, struggling internally for a moment, when suddenly another voice seemed to disapprove and gave a reminder.
But I can't go mad now, or Marcus will take me back. Then the plan cannot continue.
This is what another voice told me.
However, yet another voice said to me, "Detective He, work hard here, and the entire Guangming City will be yours in the future. I'll make you the mayor, how about that? Isn't it attractive? Then your Officer Liu will be nothing. I'll send you a bunch of young models, let you have ten or eight kids. You won't have to go to work every day, just play and relax. You'll only have to go back to the provincial department for a meeting every month. How cool is that? It's not like now, working yourself to death for a fixed salary, and still having to work like a beast for your family. I see you living too hard, ahaha ahaha!"
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, cursing inwardly, "Go to hell! Dragon King!"
Although I cursed inwardly, I outwardly appeared to be completely convinced. I followed Marcus and finally arrived inside a mountain range. It seemed like there was nothing there, but given the organization's nature, they were good at hiding things. I couldn't figure it out immediately, which was normal. At this moment, Marcus took out a stone and flicked it somewhere. A pile of straw fell from a tree. Under the straw, a human voice came from beneath the dirt: "Who?"
A tentative voice reached our ears, and Marcus replied familiarly, "It's me, Marcus!"
"Oh, it's you. Alright, I'll activate the switch!"
As soon as the person finished speaking, I saw the surrounding trees moving. It seemed that the entire area was disguised. If they encountered danger, they could change the positions of the trees or stones at any time, and we would get lost inside. It would be impossible to find the real entrance without help from someone inside.
It seems I must hide myself this time and do my job well, completing the mission given to me by Mr. Minister. I know this is more dangerous than any other time, but since I've come here, at this critical juncture, there is no turning back. I can only complete the mission as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, the people at the provincial department will be extremely worried, especially Liu Yuning, He Xin, Dao Zhiyong...
As the surrounding environment shifted slightly, a crack appeared on the ground. I thought this should be called an entrance. Marcus walked ahead of me and beckoned, "Detective He, let's go see the Dragon King! He's been waiting for you for a long time. With our resonance technology this time, you will forever become a part of us. Hehe, in today's world, criminals don't dare to show themselves without some technological prowess. You were too naive before, daring to resist us. Even if your achievements are good, the more capable you are, the more attention the Dragon King will pay to you. As long as we win you over, you have more value than the Blood King and others. The doors of the Criminal Alliance are waiting for you, and the Punishers are opening their warm embrace to send you into eternal Eden! Ahahahaha!"
I listened to Marcus's sermon-like voice. In fact, I was a bit stunned and a bit resistant, but another voice admonished me that I must tolerate and pretend now.
I followed the latter's advice and continued to maintain a fawning demeanor, "I understand."
"Good! Detective He, you are truly our lucky star."
I pondered the words "lucky star" internally. I will definitely become your lucky star...
We passed through a door and went down. I originally thought it was stairs, but then Marcus, before even putting his foot down, turned back and said to me, "Buddy, watch me!"
The guy slid down directly. It turned out that below the door was a slide. I really didn't know what to say. Anyway, I had no choice but to brace myself and slide down with him. I felt my whole body rotating along the trajectory of the stairs. After going down, I found that the slide was not straight but spiraled. I was quite speechless at the time. Would this make me dizzy every time I went down?
But strangely, when I landed and stood on the floor, I found my head was perfectly fine. This was a hiding place similar to a sewage company. There were offices distributed around, as well as several pipelines. Not far away, I could hear roaring sounds, likely sewage flowing and colliding.
Marcus escorted me to a control room. This place must have been the control room of a sewage company before, and it was probably occupied by the organization again and converted into a hidden base.
A bald man sat in a boss's chair, smoking and looking at countless screens.
