Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 750 - 7900)

The journey back to Capital Star still had a few hours to go, and Chen Gu could feel that most of the other special agents were in deep slumber, much like himself.

The area of the spaceship was very quiet.

However, Chen Gu was somewhat surprised by Agent 21's appearance. What didn't surprise Chen Gu, however, was the question Agent 21 had posed.

"I knew there were some issues here and was planning to investigate secretly, but I didn't expect you to show up on your own."

The newly graduated student security guard likely didn't know any better. He chose to report the theft at the factory as his first action. This was understandable behavior, as it was the young man's first day on the job. When something was suddenly lost, of course, he would report it immediately to avoid taking the blame himself.

But the Xiaogasa Family had substantial influence on Nie Dun 6, possessing a vast network of connections. Logically, this report should have been intercepted within the police system. Yet, it was escalated all the way to the Bureau of Mystic Security!

It could be said that this major incident had started with that casual report.

Agent 21 typed two lines on the screen:

"I did it."

"I ensured its passage; the Xiaogasa Family's connections didn't notice this report was related to them, so it was escalated all the way up."

Chen Gu then asked, "Suddenly appearing before me like this—that's very bold of you."

Agent 21 asked, "Aren't you curious why I would do such a thing?"

Chen Gu said, "You must have your own motives. Since you've come, you will likely explain them to me." Then Chen Gu slightly raised his hand in the sleep pod, signaling that Agent 21 could begin.

Agent 21 typed, "I've come to preach to you."

"I believe you are as excellent as we are, and you shouldn't be buried along with this filthy world."

"We should be fighting side by side to push this Star Sea towards ultimate purity!"

In the sleep pod, a series of strange and inexplicable sounds suddenly erupted. It was as if countless voices in different languages were speaking all at once by Chen Gu's ear, cramming a massive amount of information into his brain through these sounds.

His Brain Domain Hacker ability activated automatically, constructing a defensive line within his own brain domain.

Chen Gu frowned slightly and said, "Enough with the theatrics. What is your real purpose in finding me? And what do you hope to achieve by exposing the secrets of the Songshan Garment Factory?"

Agent 21 typed a long string on the screen: HAHAHA.

Chen Gu couldn't help but curl his lip, but he waited patiently. Then Agent 21 typed out another block of text.

However, these "characters" looked very odd. While clearly the standardized script of the Confederation, some strokes, punctuation marks, and even the grammar had subtle variations.

What should have been instantly comprehensible text looked baffling to Chen Gu at first glance. The text seemed to be infusing him with some obscure and indecipherable meaning in a different manner!

"Hmph!" Chen Gu snorted. "Don't waste your effort. You know my profession is Brain Domain Hacker. These tricks are merely laughable before me." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Agent 21, however, suddenly displayed a series of symbols. Astonishingly, just with these symbols, Chen Gu could perceive that Agent 21 was expressing a sentiment of "keen interest."

Then these symbols changed again, forming a line of text: "So now, do you still think my efforts are futile?"

Chen Gu was rather speechless. In this era, due to significant technological advancements, nobody used symbols as emoticons. But in Chen Gu's previous life… weren't symbol emoticons incredibly commonplace?

Agent 21 seemed able to analyze some information from Chen Gu's expression, as the screen flickered erratically, and for a good while, no new text appeared.

Chen Gu asked, "I'll give you one more chance. State your purpose clearly, or I'll cut off the interstellar quantum network." He had initially wanted to say "pull the plug on the internet," fearing Agent 21 wouldn't understand.

Agent 21 deliberated his wording and slowly typed on the screen:

"I think we can abandon our conflict. We are among the most outstanding humans in this Star Sea. Why can't we turn from foes to friends?

Our previous encounter can be considered a case of 'not knowing each other until we fought.'

Consider this incident a gift. Its significance is not to be underestimated. If those vermin are allowed to continue lurking within the Confederation, who knows to what extent they will eventually develop.

In the short term, I hope you will not interfere with our operations outside the Confederation—as a demonstration of the preliminary understanding we've established.

And we, in turn, will not return to the Confederation. You can concentrate on dealing with those disgusting vermin.

In the long run… I believe we will share a common destiny!"

Chen Gu scoffed, "Daydreaming."

Agent 21, however, wasn't agitated. He typed, "I know you will refuse now, but don't be hasty. This is a long-standing offer. You will come to understand."

"Well then, I shall depart. Farewell, my prospective friend."

The screen slowly faded. Agent 21 had even added an effect where the text gradually shrank and blurred, like a figure receding into the distance.

This number, still such a hipster! Chen Gu complained internally, but his hands moved swiftly, using various information tools to check the entire spaceship's system.

As soon as the spaceship landed, Chen Gu called Dr. Meng Ji. "Help me recheck it immediately."
