Chapter 40: New Assignment

Chu Cheng was a little confused when he saw this friend request.

This message is not from a regular social app but from a special module in the Secret Service Nine app. The technical department says the software is very safe, and all user data is only stored in the Secret Service Nine database, which is completely secure and cannot be leaked.

Furthermore, the app's encryption technology is excellent. If the agent's phone is lost, the data will self-destruct before being accessed, ensuring safety.

Chu Cheng was skeptical about this.

After all, this Secret Service Nine has been identified by Chu Cheng as a mental hospital built on the flying graveyard.

Its external form pays tribute to the helicarrier from SHIELD, and its internal function borrows the mental asylum aspect from Arkham.

But whether it is the helicarrier or Arkham, the biggest thing in common is that they inherit the same security mechanism as the public toilet.

Even the public toilets are divided into men's and women's toilets. These two are already better than blue.

Out of doubts about the capabilities of the organization's security mechanism, Chu Cheng also had reservations about the app's encryption technology. He once thought about manipulating Batman to try with his unscientific portable universal decipher; maybe he could hack the app. But after thinking about it, I felt that this was too aggressive, and it would be bad if it was exposed and attracted the attention of the superiors, so I gave up.

Also for security reasons, the APP will not send any message prompts on the upper layer of the mobile phone, and the user can only see the received message by clicking on the APP.

Then, the request sent from the app was intriguing.

Only people part of Sector Nine Secret Service would download this app. The message itself was a clue that Felix was also part of Sector Nine Secret Service.

The message was short and to the point, asking him to come to the rooftop to meet.

After accepting the friend request, Chu Cheng sent a greeting and asked directly, "Now?"

Felix responded quickly with a single word, "Yes."

The rooftop of the school building was a special place where various things could happen. People could eat lunch and chat, strike cool poses, fight zombies, or even have intense confrontations. It was a place where anything seemed possible.

Chu Cheng didn't hesitate after receiving the message and got up to leave the classroom.

Wei Futong looked surprised. "Class will start soon."

"I have some things to deal with. If you sign up for the festival, sign up for me too," Chu Cheng said, waving his phone as he quickly left the room.

Wei Futong watched him go, thinking about how he had just seen some news and left in a hurry.

What news could be so urgent? Everyone was in the classroom, and there wasn't even class yet.

Then Wei Futong thought about buying medicine at the pharmacy that morning and seemed to understand.

A mix of respect and confusion appeared on his face.

He had joined the Women's Player Alliance to avoid hard work, but now he realized that even his efforts couldn't match others. He began to seriously consider if this path was right for him.

After class, Chu Cheng quickly went to the roof of the main building, where Felix was already waiting.

Felix was impressive even without considering his background. He had a clean, handsome face, stood about six feet tall, and looked strong despite his fair skin.

Felix was straightforward and got right to the point. He explained that he had psychic abilities and was recruited into Secret Service Nine because of this. His infection level wasn't too high, and he excelled in learning combat techniques, becoming an official field agent.

Felix had been physically enhanced by the infection, received systematic training, and had mission experience. Compared to Chu Cheng, who had no mutations, no training, and no experience, Felix was already a seasoned agent.

Chu Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this.

In his mind, most rich people usually acted with an "I pay, you do the work" attitude. A wealthy person like Bruce Wayne, who spends his own money and risks his life, was very unusual and rarely discussed.

It was really the first time he saw a rich kid who liked to fight on the front lines with dangerous people.

"The Ninth Office has a task, and the target seems to be a student at our school," Felix said, getting straight to the point.

"Since there are only two of us from the Ninth Office here, we have to handle this task together. I'm the captain."

"Then I'm the vice captain?" Chu Cheng asked.

Felix paused, then smiled. "Okay. From now on, you're the vice captain, and you must follow the captain's orders."

"Although I'd like to talk more, I don't have much time. My car is waiting below. So take this," Felix said, handing over a folder.

"This is the document from our superiors. It has information about the investigation target and their statement. Review it this afternoon to understand our mission details.

Tonight, I've reserved a spot at a famous restaurant. I'll treat you to dinner."

Chu Cheng took a deep breath.

He had never been to the famous restaurant, but he had heard of it. It was a high-end local restaurant.

He initially wanted to decline the offer, feeling overwhelmed, but then he remembered he had to follow the captain's orders. If the captain wanted to treat him to dinner, then he had to accept it.

Chu Cheng patted his chest. "Don't worry, I'll be there on time."

Felix nodded, satisfied. "The first stage is just to gather information. If it gets complicated, we'll pass it on to others. But it probably won't be a big deal. We might even finish it tonight."

Chu Cheng thought for a moment. "Then why don't we start in the afternoon?"

"Afternoon?" Felix gave him a strange look and said, "I have class in the afternoon."

Chu Cheng: "..."
