Regarding the department.
——They never had an official name.
Original text from novel.
As an organization not recognized by the state but affiliated with the government, they operate in the shadows, becoming the sharp sword that guards humanity.
They knew their existence wasn’t that legitimate, and they knew that all their efforts would eventually become unknown to the public, reduced to dust. They also knew their final destination was death, without causing any ripples.
Each person who joins this organization must give up all their achievements in current human society, sever all relationships with others, and erase their presence from society, achieving true social death before they can join. Finally, they become a “Black Soldier,” neither glorious nor clean.
If their organization had to have a name, it would be “Black Soldier.”
Each Black Soldier wears a metallic armor, with a helmet protecting their head, and a thick gas mask covering their face, revealing only their eyes.
The gas mask, made with advanced technology, can prevent nanoscale microbial invasions and connect to the combat suit they wear, allowing them to maintain high respiratory efficiency, making it possible for them to breathe freely even in combat.
Looking down, the Black Soldiers wear a thick, all-black metallic armor made of densely woven metal threads, each thread capable of withstanding at least half a ton of force. Modern humanity’s most powerful firearms would be no match for this armor.
Underneath the armor is a combat suit that covers their entire body, equipped with various mechanical and biological devices that stimulate their nerves, increasing their cellular activity by at least three times.
Their strength, agility, dynamic vision, reaction speed, and cognitive abilities will remain at their peak under the stimulation of bioelectricity, approaching human limits.
That’s not all. Newly recruited Black Soldiers must inject emotion-suppressing medication every day to suppress emotions like fear, excitement, and anxiety, which would hinder their combat performance. This lets them approach absolute rationality.
With each injection, lasting about two months, they would erase most emotions.
It can be said that as time passes, they would become increasingly inhuman, their final destination being task-oriented madmen.
Aside from that, there’s the standard-issue combat boots…which don’t need much explanation, just durable boots.
In total, the combat power of a single “Black Soldier” has reached human limits, capable of fighting against a hundred elite soldiers armed with cold weapons without needing any weapons.
There are at least ten thousand such Black Soldiers in this department.
And the commander of these ten thousand Black Soldiers, the man sitting on the throne, gazing down at the masses, is the only person in human history to have completed over ten six-star missions.
…
6:30 PM.
In a room where every object is meticulously organized, a man sat behind a desk covered with thick stacks of paper documents.
He scrolled through the screen with his fingers, looking at the data.
“Zhushi Jiu.”
An ordinary college student.
That was his initial judgment when he saw the first half of the document.
“Not ordinary at all.”
That was his judgment after seeing the second half of the document, instantly overturning his initial impression of Zhushi Jiu.
The document showed that this college student’s behavior had changed drastically since this morning. The surveillance footage at Jiang City University’s campus roads showed the young man finding a fine arts student to draw two portraits, one of a Black Soldier and one of himself.
Then, he contacted a computer science student over the phone, discussing something related to the two portraits that were circulating online at 6 PM.
After that, he left Jiang City University and went to an archery range, chatting with Coach Du Fei, an archery instructor, in a conversation that didn’t seem pleasant.
Notably, Zhushi Jiu and Coach Du Fei had never interacted before.
After leaving the archery range, he went to a Western restaurant and spent 78 yuan on a steak.
At 2 PM, he went back to the archery range and competed with Coach Du Fei.
Although he had no prior archery experience, he demonstrated exceptional archery skills, losing to Coach Du Fei but showing that he was actually familiar with bows and arrows.
After leaving the archery range, Zhushi Jiu operated a loan app on his phone, borrowing 10 yuan.
His next stop was a small lottery store.
The surveillance footage showed him using the borrowed 10 yuan to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket and recording a video with his phone.
The first lottery ticket won 20 yuan.
Then, he used the 20 yuan to buy two more lottery tickets, winning again, and again…until he stopped after winning 120 lottery tickets in a row.
All 120 lottery tickets won, without exception.
Moreover, each win was profitable.
After finishing, Zhushi Jiu uploaded all the lottery videos to the campus forum, but nobody responded. He then returned to the archery range and practiced archery for the afternoon.
At 6 PM, a post was pinned on the campus forum, containing the two portraits drawn by the fine arts student…
…
That’s all.
The middle-aged man looked at the rough report that had been investigated in half an hour, remaining silent for a long time.
The current time was 6:32 PM.
After looking at the report, he checked the online forum, which was already showing a 404 error page, naturally the work of their department.
They didn’t need to contact their superiors to ban a forum; they could do it directly using their computer technology.
The efficiency of the Intelligence Department was astounding, but the middle-aged man seemed accustomed to it, showing no surprise.
The day before the action, the Intelligence Department had been using full-network checking algorithms to collect any information that might affect tomorrow’s action, and they found Zhushi Jiu’s post just five minutes after 6 PM. Then, they spent 25 minutes organizing all the information and presenting it to him.
He looked at it, then looked at it again.
“Written reports are ultimately insufficient to provide more detailed information.”
Thinking so, he transmitted their first task to the newly recruited Black Soldiers:
—”Capture Zhushi Jiu, and use α-7 if necessary.”
