Osaka Naval Base.
In the evidence room, on the table, there were only a few sealed plastic bags with a dozen bullets lying inside.
"Is this all thatâs left?"
"Yes!"
"And the murderer?"
"Gone!"
"What about Eric and the other five? Their bodies? Their weapons?"
"Gone!"
"What about any other evidence from the scene?"
"Gone!"
"Can you say anything else besides âgoneâ?"
"It was the Coastal Road, there were no streetlights, no cameras. We heard the gunshots and got there in almost three minutes, but there wasnât a single person at the scene. The Coastal Road seemed washed by seawater, not leaving a single trace."
"Are you joking with me?"
"No, sir!"
"Todayâs leave, Eric and the other five still havenât reported back. Someone mentioned they saw them drinking, planning to return via the Coastal Road. Based on the gunshots at the scene, itâs clear they encountered an enemy!"
A middle-aged officer angrily said, "Just three minutes, six soldiers from the Lighthouse Country wiped out, bodies are gone, and the enemy even had time to clear the scene?"
An officer replied, "Iâm sorry, but it seems so, sir!"
The middle-aged officer shook his head, "Donât tell me youâre sorry. This canât end like this. I need an explanation!
Who is the enemy?
Why did they attack our soldiers?
What exactly happened at the scene?
I need an explanation! You must find it out for me!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
A few officers walked out of the base commanderâs office, grumbling as they walked.
"No trace left at all, the scene was as clean as a washed-up woman, where can we find evidence?"
"But six young men died, and they died at the Japan base. The Pentagon will surely ask, and the commander needs an explanation."
"So what?"
"So, itâs obvious the enemy came from the sea!"
"Hmm?"
"Their submarine entered Osaka Port, selected a secluded spot on the Coastal Road to come ashore, and coincidentally ran into Eric and his group. Without a weapon advantage, Eric and his companions were killed, and their bodies were taken back onto the submarine."
"Who is the enemy?"
The officer shrugged, "It could be people from Hua Country, Japanese gangsters, or Southeast Asian drug dealers. They were trading in Osaka Bay, and our brave young men discovered them and were heroically sacrificed while trying to prevent crime."
"Good! Thatâs good!"
"Send the case to the Kyoto police and have them assist us in capturing the criminal!"
"Yes!"
...
The few walked in silence for a while.
"Jack?"
"Hmm?"
"What do you think happened here?"
"How would I know?"
"I think your guess makes sense, but for the killer to take out Eric and his group of six in three minutes and still manage to clean up the scene, it might not be gangsters or drug dealers."
"Enough, letâs drop this topic. Itâs not for us to discuss."
"Alright."
"Instead of discussing this, how about we have a drink in my quarters?"
"Of course!"
...
Watching them leave, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, who had followed them all the way, looked at each other.
"Is that it?"
"Looks like it."
After confirming that the electronic eyes, infrared, and night vision devices couldnât see through Lu Zhengâs invisibility technique, Lin Wan dragged Lu Zheng along to follow the officers.
Because Lin Wan was still worried, fearing they would be discovered.
Unexpectedly, her worries were unfounded.
"Then letâs head back." Lin Wan said softly.
At this time, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan had already left the office building and were in the base courtyard.
Lin Wan wanted to leave with Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Whatâs wrong?"
"Uh, nothing, letâs go back to the hotel."
"Youâre not thinking of stealing some advanced equipment to give to the higher-ups, are you?"
Lu Zheng blinked, noticing Lin Wanâs eyes suddenly brighten.
"Iâm not! I didnât! Donât talk nonsense!"
"Actually... itâs possible!"
"Arenât you afraid of being exposed?"
"We canât be exposed, can we?"
Seeing Lin Wan seemingly eager to try, Lu Zheng couldnât help but palm his forehead, "But how do we deliver things to the higher-ups?"
"Invisibly send it over." Lin Wan replied matter-of-factly, "Unless you want to be exposed."
"No, I donât want to!" Lu Zheng firmly refused.
"Then letâs look for it!"
Seeing Lin Wanâs eyes scanning around, Lu Zheng couldnât help but ask, "How did you come up with this idea?"
"What idea?"
"Stealing good stuff to deliver to the higher-ups?"
"Isnât that how itâs written in novels? Art comes from reality, Iâm sure many people think that way." Lin Wan said.
Lu Zheng blinked, feeling that Lin Wan made a lot of sense.
Lin Wan stepped ahead, and Lu Zheng followed, "Stay within a meter of me, or the magical power of my invisibility technique wonât cover you!"
"Yes, yes!"
Lin Wan nodded repeatedly, her eyes bright as she walked and praised, "You have storage equipment and know the invisibility technique, youâre simply a born..."
Lu Zheng blinked, expressionless, "Born what?"
"Nothing! Nothing!" Lin Wan laughed, smoothing things over for Lu Zheng.
Now, when she looked at Lu Zheng, she felt like she was looking at a great treasure. She especially enjoyed the feeling of Lu Zheng slowly revealing secrets in front of her.
It was a feeling of trust, importance, intimacy, and heart-to-heart connection.
She could feel that Lu Zheng had the same mindset, slowly revealing a little each time, like little surprises in life, each time bringing them a sense of spiritual joy.
Then, on the basis of spiritual satisfaction and impulse, engage in another kind of exchange.
What is called the fusion of body and mind? This is whatâs called the fusion of body and mind!
Lin Wan had a premonition that once she successfully cultivated the "Taiyuan Mysterious Scripture," Lu Zheng might have a big surprise waiting for her!
Lin Wan expressed her anticipation.
...
"Does this base have any new equipment? Iâm not a military enthusiast, so I donât know." Lu Zheng and Lin Wan walked around the base aimlessly.
"Uh... I donât know either..." Lin Wan hesitated, glancing around, her eyes a little bewildered.
Lu Zheng, "..."
Neither of us knows anything, so what were we wandering around for?
A simple tour and sightseeing?
"How about we take a plane back?" Lin Wan looked at a nearby F35.
"Do you really think the space inside my gourd is unlimited!" Lu Zheng said helplessly.
"Huh? Isnât it?" Lin Wan said with a puzzled look, "Arenât novels saying it can hold a whole mountain?"
Lu Zheng chuckled wryly, "Of course not, itâs only ten by ten by ten."
"Well then, it wonât fit." Lin Wan said regretfully, "Yours isnât going to work!"
Lu Zheng took a deep breath, now is not the time, tonight heâll let Lin Wan know if heâs up to it.
"Besides..."
Lu Zheng looked at the plane beside him, "If we disassemble it into pieces, it might actually fit."
