Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 636: Section 632 - Incorrect Way of Opening

```

"...Director Harlow... suppression... insufficient manpower... Dynasty... asking for help... urgent..."

The voice in the surveillance video spoke hurriedly and with a regional accent, making it difficult for Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu to make out the words clearly.

Being locked up in the detention area, naturally, they had no idea what had actually happened at this branch of the Security Department.

So Chen Fei said, "Just ask someone and we'll find out!"

What surprised Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu the most was that their personal belongings were neatly placed in the duty room.

Right before those on duty left, one of them, who was the last to go, turned back while the others had left the room. He took out a cardboard box from under the desk and placed it on the tabletop. Inside were Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu's personal clothes, cellphones, and documents, even including the Space System Alchemy Storage Device.

After doing all this, the person finally left, even casting a meaningful glance at the surveillance camera in the corner of the duty room before departing.

Princess Lin Ziyu spoke with certainty, "There's something off about this guy!"

"Definitely has some intention! At least it's not something bad, hmm, everything's here."

Chen Fei retrieved his belongings and slipped his Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemical Storage Magical Artifact back onto his wrist. Unleashing his spiritual power, he probed into the contents—supplies, weapons, ammunition, and even explosive devices—nothing was missing, not even the Dragon Slayer Missiles. They definitely weren't joking around.

Indeed!

It was deliberate, and it was very likely that someone had anticipated their escape from the detention room.

The only Space System Alchemy Storage Devices that were taken away initially were those in the possession of Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu. No one would have expected that there would be another on the tiny claw of the Pure Light Sparrow—a leg ring imitating the appearance of a Storage Magical Device, which turned out to be an unexpected cover.

Adam: Access denied, unable to identify personal information.

When Chen Fei tried to capture the appearance of the man with the cardboard box, the artificial intelligence AI "Yilan" failed to retrieve the person's information from the Silan Dynasty's population registry system, only managing to identify four social tiers—nobles, citizens, commoners, and slaves—without obtaining the higher clearance required to involve special individuals such as Investigative Agents.

Princess Lin Ziyu conjectured, "It must be someone with a purpose!"

Even though she was alone with a member of the Chen Family, this didn't mean she was out of the Royal Family's sight; there were always some covert protective forces secretly guarding her.

Perhaps that Investigative Agent in charge of the detention area was one of them.

She and her brother, the Crown Prince, had speculated that the Imperial Security Department, the Royal Guard, and the Imperial Guards were not the only forces safeguarding the Silan Dynasty's power.

"Beep!"

The main door leading out of the detention area opened automatically.

In the duty room, the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had gained full administrative access to the entire detention area, granting unfettered passage for the two of them and the dragon.

Witnessing Chen Fei use the AI to effortlessly hack the electronic access control module and take control of the detention area's management and surveillance system, the female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan muttered softly, "This 'Adam' is really convenient!"

Anyone would envy such an effortless solution to a problem.

If it were up to her, she'd probably have to use brute force to break through the walls just to breach the entire detention area, and that would make quite a commotion.

"Do you want me to give you a copy to play with?"

The "Adam" units Chen Fei sold had a limitation on the number of copies, but he himself didn't have such restrictions when using it.

Usually, one compilation of "Adam" was enough.

"No, I don't like that thing!"

Just the thought of having a chatty companion on her made Yilan bristle with her dragon scales.

But it would be nice if the Metallic Giant Dragon clan had a system with that kind of feature; sadly, the system that the new generation of hatchlings came with upon birth was a silent dullard—a mere platform for installing programs and plugins, completely lacking any additional functions.

"Actually, all you need is a detachable module. Turn it on when you need it and off when you don't. It's pretty convenient."

Chen Fei completely understood Yilan's aversion to "Adam"—it was like his own dislike for the Dog System.

However, "Adam" could be terminated at any time, whereas no matter how hard he tried, he could never shut down the Dog System. The occasional pop-ups often scared him like a sudden zombie outbreak.

The module Chen Fei referred to was essentially a PC with a virtual machine installed. "Adam" only required an old-style architecture for operation. Although running a virtual machine on modern PCs would lower the efficiency, it was still enough to run "Adam" smoothly. If one required better computing power, it was merely a matter of spending more.

Having left the detention area as if entering a realm without another soul, the two of them and the dragon proceeded to the other areas of the Imperial Security Department's South Capital City Branch.

Strange enough, whether the office area or the meeting room, there wasn't a single person in the entire building.

Many of the devices were still running, with tea, snacks, and food still warm. Personal items were left at workstations, and on the floor were scattered documents and trash as if everyone there had suddenly disappeared, leaving behind an eerily quiet and empty branch.

"Something's not right, very not right!"

Chen Fei approached the window and looked out.

It was just at the break of dawn, the sky beginning to brighten, but the heavens were overcast, not a sign of good weather.

In the distance, flickering red lights were barely visible, along with many plumes of smoke. The parking lot, which was in front of the branch building, was devoid of cars.

And then a flash of light appeared in a certain direction, followed by rising flames and smoke.

```

"Huh?"

Chen Fei rubbed his eyes vigorously. Could it be that his way of opening it was wrong?

Why did the flames and smoke rising in the distance look so much like an explosion?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Fei's strange reaction, Princess Lin Ziyu was somewhat puzzled.

At dawn, the signs of human life in Nandu City were particularly different.

"That's an explosion!"

Chen Fei pointed in the direction of the smoke and flames, and just as he finished speaking, another burst of flames and smoke appeared in a different direction.

Because it was the moment when light and dark alternated, the clouds were dense and the light hadn't grown bright yet, any additional glow became extremely conspicuous.

If those were explosions, then there were multiple blasts in the South Capital City District, which was far from ordinary. Princess Lin Ziyu said in shock and disbelief, "Explosions? Why are there explosions?"

"Who knows?"

Chen Fei vaguely guessed the real reason why the Imperial Security Department's South Capital City Branch was empty.

System: Ding! Protect the Princess for 72 hours safely, receive Energy Points +100! (Task failure: -20000)

Hmm? -_-!

"Damn it!"

Damn, has this resurrection-crazy dog system gone haywire? Something's definitely off!

Hearing Chen Fei's sudden rant, Princess Lin Ziyu looked at him with confusion.

"It's nothing, just a thing playing possum."

Dog System! Can you have a bit of shame? Only a measly 100 Energy Points for completing the task, but a hefty deduction of 20,000 for failing?

In the whole wide world, where is the justice in that?

However, from the 100 Energy Points, one can tell the task isn't too difficult, but the cost of failure is too steep.

"???"

Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't make heads or tails of what Chen Fei was saying. Since he was unwilling to clarify, she refrained from asking further.

System: Ding! Take over the "Hundred-Legs Gang" and receive Energy Points +10! (Task failure: -10)

Lordy, the dog system is functioning normally again!

Can't it break down completely just for once?

Chen Fei was already too tired to make any more sarcastic remarks.

"Your Highness, let's go back and find those gang members."

Chen Fei couldn't just ignore the task issued by the dog system.

Even though it was only 10 Energy Points, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small, and if all were exchanged for iron, at least it could fill a gap between the Metallic Giant Dragon's teeth.

"Eh? What's wrong, what happened?"

Princess Lin Ziyu was greatly puzzled. Hadn't they just left those fellows there before?

Going back to find them must have some special purpose.

"'One-legged' An Luota is dead; we need a new local snake!"

Chen Fei found a very appropriate reason for himself.

Though the dog system might issue tasks that seem outrageous, they usually are not without reason. With careful analysis and thought, one could discern some underlying intentions.

"You're right!"

Princess Lin Ziyu thought about it and agreed. She and Chen Fei were strangers in Nandu City. If they had a local snake to help, they could ensure their own safety and also locate Xia Ji and the others more quickly.

…

"Big Brother!"×8!!!

The thugs in the holding cell were tearfully emotional and overjoyed at the unexpected return of Chen Fei.

This must be some kind of test; to become an underling of the boss, one must show unwavering loyalty.
