Chapter 736: Capture Mission
The bustling crowd and the dense wires overhead complemented each other perfectly. This was Seoul, one of Asia's most famous and bustling cities.
However, today, this city was especially bustling. The street was filled not only with Asian faces but also with many young European and American figures. Even for a nation with eighteen warlords stationed here, this was still unusually crowded.
Interestingly, these young people gathered here were holding many things like cheering sticks, special fans, and hats. It seemed they were going to attend a concert.
The street was a scene of bustling activity. Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the upcoming grand event, except for a group of people in the alley...
"Oh my god!" Dan Bi frowned, looking at the flyer in her hand. It was decorated with various modern styles of fonts and patterns, all to highlight a girl who took up most of the flyer.
"Today is Xue Xi's Seoul concert, why does it have to be today! I finally relied on the Divine Spear Bureau's network to grab the ticket, and now it's all ruined."
Dan Bi pushed the mask that housed the Bear Spirit upwards, like a hat covering her head. The clothes on her body also turned into an ordinary elementary school school uniform, making her look just like a normal elementary school girl.
"Alright Dan Bi, it's just a concert, there will definitely be another opportunity to see it later." Lei Ling bent down and comforted the little girl beside her. "I'll come with you then, okay?"
"Quiet." Han Yamei's voice came from the earphone, interrupting their conversation. "We are here today on a mission, put away your useless thoughts, and focus on the mission at hand first."
"Yes." ×2
Lei Ling and Dan Bi agreed at the same time, although the latter's voice sounded a bit listless.
Han Yamei didn't dwell on it. Dan Bi was, after all, a child, and you couldn't ask too much of her. Although Dan Bi herself also demanded this, if it weren't for the special nature of her ability, the Divine Spear Bureau wouldn't have recruited her and assigned her to a frontline squad.
"But it's also thanks to that star. Otherwise, I, a foreigner, would be even more conspicuous." Zhu Er leaned against a wall, scanning the various pedestrians around her.
With these foreigners having different hair, eyes, and skin, Zhu Er no longer needed to specially wear clothes that concealed her appearance. She really disliked that stuffy feeling.
"What's the target situation?" Han Yamei asked. Their squad was a total of four people. Except for Dan Bi, who was too young and needed someone to take care of her, the other two were each finding a position to act separately. Zhu Er was assigned to the position closest to the target.
Generally speaking, when performing missions domestically in Korea, it would be more appropriate for Han Yamei to replace Zhu Er's position. However, as mentioned before, Seoul now has a large number of foreigners. No matter what aspect a new face appears in, it wouldn't be strange. So, this mission fell to Zhu Er, who had the most average ability.
"Any unusualness from the target?" Zhu Er's eyes glanced at the young people beside her, as if attracted by their heated discussion. But in fact, she was just using the opportunity of shifting her line of sight to scan the target of this mission.
He was an Asian face that looked very ordinary, the type you wouldn't notice at a glance in a crowd. But Zhu Er had already memorized the information given by Yang Le beforehand, so she would definitely not mistake him.
Although the spy job was far removed from her initial wish to become an Olympic athlete, Zhu Er was a serious person. Since she had this ability, she wanted to do the work to the best of her ability.
She didn't like being pointed at, so she could only do her best. It was also because of her personality that the people in the squad all trust her very much.
"What if, I mean, what if." Dan Bi had already come to the second floor of a cafe with Lei Ling at this time. The two occupied a position by the window. Dan Bi looked down like a child attracted by the bustling scene, but in reality, she was also monitoring the target.
"What if the target Yang Le gave us is fake? After all, I see no difference between the target and an ordinary person. If we arrest the wrong person, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
"If we arrest the wrong person, there are specialized follow-up troops to handle it. You don't need to worry," Han Yamei answered.
"Besides, the Bureau has investigated. At first glance, the target Park Jae-heon's personal information is very ordinary and shows no unusualness. But if you check carefully, you can find some unreasonable aspects. Even if he isn't a Dark Elf, he's still a person with problems."
"So, when are we going to take action?" Zhu Er asked the problem she was most concerned about.
"We'll wait until the person he's waiting for appears," Han Yamei leaned on the railing of the rooftop. "According to the confession of the spy that Yang Le provided, tonight the spy code-named Park Jae-heon will contact his superior. If we want to ask out useful things, we can only catch the leader."
"Won't this alert the enemy?" Lei Ling asked with concern.
"We have no choice," Han Yamei said softly. "If we want to get the support of other nations outside of Asia, it's impossible without a big fish."
The communication channel went silent for a moment. The danger level of this mission far exceeded what they had experienced before. If they failed, the consequences wouldn't just be for them; even Earth might not be able to bear it.
"Target is moving."
Zhu Er's voice suddenly rang out. The other three, who were still thinking, immediately became fully alert. In the mission ahead, no mistake could be tolerated.
Lei Ling looked outside the window and saw that the target, called Park Jae-beom, had begun to move purposefully in a direction. Soon, he made contact with another Asian person at a position on the street, and the two began to chat.
"Can you hear what they're saying?" Han Yamei asked. Everyone present knew who she was asking.
"It's difficult. I can't get any closer, or I'll alert the target."
Zhu Er stopped in front of a clothing store, pretending to look at the clothes in the display cabinet. But she quickly came up with an idea.
"Lei Ling, can you control the airflow to transmit sound to my ear?"
Sound is transmitted through the vibration of a medium. Lei Ling can also control airflow. She used this trick before to create an invisible megaphone. But currently, the positions of several people are quite far apart, and Zhu Er isn't sure if she can do it.
"The distance is a bit too far. I can't guarantee the precision of the airflow." Lei Ling was already pulling Dan Bi out of the cafe at this time.
"Besides, Yang Le also said that these things are very sensitive to elements. The movement of airflow is very likely to make them perceive it."
"Tch!" Zhu Er clicked her tongue in annoyance. Of course, she wasn't directing it at Lei Ling, but at the target of this action. Their squad hadn't encountered such a difficult opponent in a long time, and compared to forward tracking, she was better at frontal combat.
