Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 121 - 121 121 Indeed Extraordinary

?Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Indeed Extraordinary Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Indeed Extraordinary Two people walked to the innermost building in the residential complex.

The evil magician lived on the top floor, and when they walked up, the door was open.

Inside stood three men, among whom Luo Ning only recognized Han Lie.

Seeing them come in, Han Lie and the other two approached Lu Xun and saluted, “Minister, good day!”

Han Lie’s gaze fell on Luo Ning, he had already guessed who she was, but seeing that she wore a mask just like the minister, it was clear she did not intend to reveal her true face or have her external identity exposed.

So he asked, “Who is this?”

Lu Xun’s voice was very cold, “This is your new colleague Yue, she is a Feng Shui mystic.”

In the special department, everyone has a codename, and they don’t use real names for calling each other and working.

Lu Xun’s codename is “Yang,” which also signifies his high status within the department, akin to the sun’s presence.

Therefore, he chose “Yue” as Luo Ning’s codename, after all, the sun and the moon shine together.

He then emphasized, “Although she is officially part of the staff, she does not report to anyone. She is here on a cooperative basis.”

The three knew immediately that this new colleague’s status in the department was quite special.

Han Lie, already aware of the situation, was not very surprised, but the other two were inwardly shocked, after all, this was the first time they had seen the minister bring someone into the department.

Her codename being “Yue” alone indicated her status wasn’t low, no wonder she didn’t report to anyone, surely she must have some special abilities.

The key was that her relationship with the minister seemed to be anything but simple.

Therefore, the other two greeted Luo Ning with polite smiles.

“I’m Jin San, I look forward to working with you!”

“I’m Jin Wu, I look forward to working with you!”

Han Lie also smiled and said, “I’m Jin, I look forward to working with you!”

Luo Ning’s voice was also disguised to sound as cold and clear as theirs, “I look forward to your guidance as well!”

She had previously been told by Lu Xun that in addition to the minister, there was a deputy minister in the special department, followed by teams named after the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The team leaders were codenamed after the elements themselves, and the team members would use a prefix added with a number for their codename, such as Jin San.

After getting acquainted, Lu Xun asked Han Lie, “What’s the situation now?”

On this topic, Han Lie’s expression darkened, “That person escaped again.”

“When we arrived, we didn’t see anyone, she must have just left, the water in the living room glass is still warm.”

Even after using a tracking talisman, he had quickly decided to bring his team over at this time to catch the person, but the target had escaped as if they had anticipated their arrival.

Lu Xun looked around, “She must have some way of sensing your presence, which is why you’re discovered every time you get close.”

Upon joining the special department, all members go through extensive training and, by constantly completing missions, they usually accumulate a rich presence of virtuous energy.

The more missions completed, the denser the virtuous energy becomes.

Just like when Luo Ning first met Han Lie, she could sense it immediately.

Having virtuous energy is beneficial mainly because it can resist the invasion of malicious and negative energies, providing members with a form of protection.

The downside is that aside from Lu Xun, who can freely conceal his energy, other members don’t know how to do it, so it is very possible that their targets could exploit this.

Of course, this sort of situation is extremely rare; otherwise, there’d be no need for missions.

After this chase, Han Lie also came to this conclusion, “It’s most likely the case.”

He continued, “Now, I’m afraid only the minister’s intervention would prevent her from noticing.”

Their minister is impressive; as long as he doesn’t emit virtuous energy, even the most adept Feng Shui mages cannot sense him.

However, this was a special ability unique to the minister, something they couldn’t learn.

Lu Xun said in a cold voice, “Hand this mission over to Yue and me.”

Han Lie nodded respectfully, “Understood!”

He then couldn’t help but ask Luo Ning, “Is it still possible to continue tracking that person?”

He meant to ask if Luo Ning could draw another tracking talisman.

Luo Ning shook her head, “She’s on alert now, and it’s very possible she has changed her original energy signature. It won’t be easy to track her down.”

She walked over to a table and saw several half-finished talismans lying there, picking them up for inspection.

Indeed, the brush strokes used to draw the characters were the same, but the energy had changed.

She said, “The energy on these talismans is different from before.”

Only Lu Xun and Han Lie could understand this.

Clenching his teeth, Han Lie said, “That bastard is crafty as a fox.”

This also meant that the opponent’s abilities were certainly not weak.

Luo Ning smiled, “No matter, even the craftiest fox will have its moment of carelessness.”

“I have a way to lure her out.” Indeed, her previous senses were correct; she must actively bait the person to succeed.

She then walked out to the balcony and dug out four ceramic figurines labeled with the characters “East,” “South,” “West,” and “North” from four flower pots.

“She used a secret technique to enshrine these four figurines, specifically for sensing the emergence of virtuous energy from the four directions, which is why she could escape before you arrived.”

No wonder it was Lu Xun himself who managed to catch her in her past life, because she couldn’t sense his energy.

Han Lie let out a sigh, “No wonder we could never catch her.”

He looked at Luo Ning and asked, “Can we take these figurines back to the department for research?”

The special department also had a research division dedicated to studying these kinds of items.

Luo Ning took the talisman paper and penned from the table and drew four talismans, sticking them onto the heads of the figurines.

“This will do. Don’t remove the talisman paper before you’ve finished your research, or they will automatically shatter.”

Without the talismans, the figurines would have crumbled on their own after a while.

It seemed that the evil magician was highly skilled and exceptionally cautious in their actions.

Guessing her intention, Han Lie carefully packed the four figurines into a special storage bag, “Thank you!”

These items were indeed very valuable for research and could greatly assist their future pursuits if deciphered.

Jin San and Jin Wu, seeing that Luo Ning could also draw talismans to prevent the figurines from breaking, thought that this new colleague was indeed extraordinary.

In the past, they often encountered situations where they found something valuable to study, but it would break on the way or become ineffective after being brought back, making the entire effort fruitless.

If Yue’s talismans were truly effective, the amount of material available for research in the future could substantially increase, making the folks in the research division ecstatic.

Luo Ning said indifferently, “You’re welcome.”

After Han Lie and the others collected everything useful in the room and took it away, they logged into the special department’s internal network and transferred the task to Lu Xun and Luo Ning.

Lu Xun had already completed Luo Ning’s employment formalities, so her information was also in the internal network, which also meant she could take on assignments now.

Since the evil magician posed a significant threat and was adept at escaping, the mission was rated B-level, which was above average; the reward in points would be substantial upon completion.

Luo Ning logged into the internal network with her phone and saw the task transfer notification, and without hesitation, she accepted it.
