“Check our room to see if anyone has intruded,” Zhushi Jiu said to the two Black Soldiers after hanging up the phone with Xu Feng.

The two Black Soldiers searched the room and replied, “No.”

Indeed, there was no sign of intrusion.

Zhushi Jiu was still thinking about the mysterious intruder who had entered his room last week.

Before entering the room, he had deliberately checked the doorknob. The doorknob, which had been polished by the intruder last week, was now free of any signs of polishing, indicating that the intruder had not entered his room.

To be on the safe side, Zhushi Jiu had the two Black Soldiers search the room again, but they did not find any traces of the intruder, including the hair that had been left behind last week. Even when Zhushi Jiu brought the two Black Soldiers to the room where he had stayed on the ship, they did not find anything.

Who had intruded into his room? Was it Xue An and his people, or someone else?

…

That night, Zhushi Jiu, who had recovered his emotions, slept very soundly.

However, Xue An and his people were restless, unable to sleep the entire night. They were anxious and worried, fearing that a large group of Black Soldiers would suddenly attack their room and eliminate them.

On the morning of November 9th, when the sun shone into their room, Xue An and Lv Jing got up with dark circles under their eyes.

As they went out, they stiffened their bodies.

Zhushi Jiu, who was opposite them, also got up, wearing a refreshing smile.

“Good morning.”

Zhushi Jiu greeted them with a casual tone, as if nothing had happened.

Xue An and his people retreated a step, their bodies trembling, as they looked at the two Black Soldiers behind Zhushi Jiu.

Lv Jing forced a smile: “Good morning.”

They felt like they were dancing on the blade’s edge, walking on the edge of danger.

In the end, they chose not to retreat, thinking that since the Black Troop Organization had not taken action against them last night, they probably would not do so again.

So they gritted their teeth and stayed.

Although they thought so, when they really faced the Black Soldiers, they still could not remain calm.

“How’s the communication with your superiors going? Has your organization said anything?” Zhushi Jiu asked, feigning ignorance of their fear.

Communicate with superiors? What’s the point of that?

Their superiors had replied with a single word: “Retreat.”

This was not an order, but a suggestion made by their superiors after careful consideration.

Their superiors didn’t take Zhushi Jiu’s talent into account at all. No matter how much Xue An and his people boasted, they were like startled birds, letting them retreat.

Once the Black Troop Organization appeared, they had to prioritize escape, which was a default rule for many organizations in the country.

The only difference this time was that Xue An and his people had seen the Black Soldiers stopping their actions under Zhushi Jiu’s blockage last night.

Perhaps they could counterattack.

Xue An and his people thought so.

As long as they could counterattack the Black Soldiers, they could compete for the talent that even the Black Troop Organization coveted.

This temptation made them choose to stay.

Moreover, they had invested in an anti-Black Soldier suppression drug, but it had no effect, and the sunk cost fallacy made them still hold on to a glimmer of hope.

Xue An replied, “Our communication with superiors is going well, but it takes time for them to negotiate with the Black Troop Organization… Don’t look at me like that; you should know that our organization is responsible for saving the world and can’t devote too much energy to handling such trivial matters.”

Zhushi Jiu’s disappointed gaze was filled with disdain, and Xue An caught it.

What’s the point of pretending? Zhushi Jiu remained silent.

He shook his head in disappointment: “Is that so? Then I’ll wait for your good news. I’m going to eat; you can do as you please.”

After saying that, Zhushi Jiu left.

Xue An and Lv Jing stood still, not daring to follow him.

After a while, Xue An said, “This is too passive. We need to apply for support from our superiors!”

“Support? We’re facing the Black Soldiers!”

“You think carefully; the Black Soldiers only have two people, which means their action this time is a covert operation. They definitely don’t want to attract attention, so even if they know our existence, they won’t send more people. This is our opportunity!”

Xue An and Lv Jing retreated back to their room.

They had intended to eat breakfast, but thinking about the Black Soldiers outside made them lose their appetite.

They might as well order someone to deliver food to their room.

Inside the room, Yi Rou was continually tapping on the computer.

“Where’s Jing Jing? She hasn’t gotten up yet?”

“Yeah.” Yi Rou nodded. “She was busy programming and strengthening the network defense last night, so she needs to rest now.”

“HAVE YOU FOUND ANY CLUES?”

“Yeah.”

Yi Rou nodded and turned the computer to face Xue An and Lv Jing.

The interface displayed was the identity query system of the ship.

All information about Zhushi Jiu on the network was encrypted, so Yi Rou didn’t dare to touch it. However, the identity system of the ship was still as vulnerable as before, almost defenseless against them. Yi Rou had been invading and checking the identity system since morning.

“I invaded the identity system and searched for their photos, but I didn’t find any matching objects.”

Xue An and Lv Jing exchanged a glance: “This is very strange.”

At this moment, Fan Jing Xuan, who was supposed to be sleeping, appeared at the door.

She looked tired and supported herself on the door, saying, “It’s indeed strange. I previously suspected that the other party was also on the ship, just like us, using a similar method to the Black Troop Organization to plant fake identities in the identity system. However…”

“But last night…”

“I wonder why they’re familiar with Wang Chong.”

Fan Jing Xuan rubbed her temples, saying, “A talent being closely watched by the Black Troop Organization, familiar with Wang Chong, a second-generation rich kid… Haven’t you thought of any bad possibilities?”

Xue An and Lv Jing’s eyes widened: “Wang Chong is an outer member of the Black Troop Organization!”

Everyone thought it through.

This time, the ship was actually a trap, and Wang Chong was indeed an outer member of the Black Troop Organization!

So, Wang Chong’s behavior of sending out invitations made sense – the Black Troop Organization wanted to collect all the valuable talents in one go!

Xue An and his people clenched their teeth, gnashing: “Those madmen, do they still want to leave us a way out?!”

“No matter what, we can’t back down…”

Fan Jing Xuan’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous light.

“…or we could do something even more extreme, blow up the entire ship, and let everyone on board sink to the bottom of the sea! That way, we’ll definitely be able to thwart the Black Troop Organization’s plan! They can’t get it if we can’t!”
