Chapter 647: Stripping Morality
by xennovelBook Chapter 647: Stripping Morality (5th Update)
Li Xingyao suddenly felt as if this world were unreal, as if he were dreaming. Lin.
Is Team 10’s leader really that daring?
What exactly is he planning?
As if reading his mind, Xiao Yu smiled, “I’m in a hurry. I’ve delayed long enough tonight.”
He didn’t have time to wait.
Every second he wasted was a disregard for life.
The reason for waiting until evening was to familiarize himself with what Country D calls the Security Bureau.
Barging in without knowing anything? That’s a sure way to meet your end—better to end it yourself.
Somehow, in the depths of fate…
Xiao Yu felt his old image crumble, vanishing forever.
This was evident in Li Xingyao’s expression…
……
Half an hour later, Xiao Yu was scrutinizing data on a laptop.
More precisely, it was an internal blueprint of the Bremen branch of the Security Bureau.
“Let’s go.”
Without even looking up, Xiao Yu said to Li Xingyao beside him.
Li Xingyao: ???
He always felt he wasn’t depraved enough; his thoughts could never keep step with this Team 10 leader.
“The odds of being caught infiltrating their Security Bureau are at least eighty percent.”
Xiao Yu fixed his gaze on the blueprint displayed on the screen. “Even if I manage to escape, they’ll investigate every recent foreign entrant in Bremen. Once they trace it back to me, they’ll also trace it back to you handling the reception.”
“I’m confident I can dodge their pursuit, but you can’t. Before they extract any information from you, you must leave.”
“Your mission abroad is over… time to go home!”
If Special Forces get caught, their fate is doomed.
There’s a ninety percent chance they won’t survive.
And if they do die, their final moments will be more painful than death itself.
Xiao Yu never treated others as fools.
Nor did he believe that by infiltrating their Security Bureau, Li Xingyao would remain undetected.
This wasn’t about chance—it was that you couldn’t possibly win.
When facing a fully mobilized state apparatus, the only outcome is obliteration.
Xiao Yu dared to take this gamble because he was a ghostrider—he had the guts to challenge such a machine.
Even so,
he reckoned his chance of returning alive was only about thirty percent.
And if it meant dragging someone else along,
that hope drops below ten percent.
Others were doomed!
Li Xingyao was stunned.
Home?
How long had it been since he last returned?
Li Xingyao thought of his parents and his brother.
And then… he realized he could barely remember their faces!
Unnoticed,
Li Xingyao stared blankly at the sky outside, lost in thought.
His eyes grew dreamy with a subtle gleam, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He despised the coldness and lack of warmth abroad.
Yet, normally,
his sole joy was reminiscing about home.
And now, he could finally return.
But no matter what, Li Xingyao never forgot.
He belonged to Dragon Kingdom National Security, Fifth Special Forces Action Group, Undercover Division Two of Advanced Dandelion.
Identification Code: 13
……
Li Xingyao left.
Before departing, he brought Xiao Yu plenty of food.
Xiao Yu kept eating non-stop.
Ever since suffering from inadequate stamina in the past,
whenever he faced any case, incident, or mission,
he had developed a habit:
activating Camel’s Endurance and Mongoose Stomach.
One skill allowed for rapid digestion,
while the other stored energy.
Xiao Yu had tested it; it could triple his physical capacity.
With the boost of Bear Force and the recovery of Salamander Regeneration,
he could achieve five times the strength of an ordinary person!
Such stamina allowed him to endure five hours of high-intensity combat.
Of course, Xiao Yu’s idea of intense combat was far from conventional.
It was more like unleashing the ultimate, overclocked state.
He had even dubbed this state with a badass name.
Ghostrider Mode!
In the glow of the setting sun, Xiao Yu paused mid-bite and lifted his head.
Closing his eyes, countless techniques surged through his mind.
Meanwhile, his muscles began rhythmic warm-ups.
An hour, two hours, three hours…
Suddenly,
Xiao Yu opened his eyes.
In the dark guest room, his eyes flashed with a sudden brightness.
At that moment,
【Ding! Mission triggered successfully.】
【Spirit Guardian Mission check-in activated.】
【Host, would you like to check in?】
Ha… Xiao Yu silently laughed in the darkness.
Yeah, with an event this big,
if the system hadn’t popped up, it would have been downright absurd.
Check in!
【Ding! Congratulations, host, on a successful mission check-in!】
【System Reward: Ability – Intelligence Expert!】
【System Mission Assigned: Rescue Special Forces Agent Song Jiaxi!】
【Limited Time Mission: 50 days!】
【Complete the mission within the time limit to earn an additional System Skill: Mongoose’s Gaze!】
【If you fail within the time limit, the granted system ability will be revoked!】
【Mission countdown begins…】
What the hell? Fifty days? Are you serious?
At the mention of a time limit from the system, Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.
In an instant, countless bits of ‘intelligence’ data and abilities merged within him.
Yet Xiao Yu’s face twisted in horror, nearly succumbing to fear…
This was the first time since acquiring the system that a mission came with such a lengthy time limit.
Xiao Yu knew well that the longer the time limit, the greater the danger—and the higher the chance of a fatal mistake.
Why was System 603 so twisted this time?
Even I, a twisted soul, think this is outrageous!
Maybe we should just bail… Xiao Yu gulped.
At least if we run, we won’t die. Attempt the mission, and we might as well be dead!
After a long silence, Xiao Yu let out a bitter laugh.
That kid… his entire family was made of loyal heroes.
When you encounter someone like that, you have to strip your morals down to nothing.
No matter what, you’ll never be able to overcome that mental hurdle.
Dejected, Xiao Yu stood up and opened the hotel window.
Like a raccoon cat or a spider, he crept to the window and closed it.
With Squid’s Touch, his hands clung like suction cups.
Using Water Strider Float, his legs felt as if walking on solid ground.
Then, with Flea Bullet, Xiao Yu landed directly onto a leafy tree outside the hotel building.
Finally, with Spirit of the Raccoon Cat, he descended as lightly as a cat…
Only in this way would the hotel’s surveillance and staff remain unaware of his departure.
Meanwhile, inside the hotel guest room, Xiao Yu had already used Disguise Expert to alter his appearance.
So even if street surveillance cameras caught him, it wouldn’t matter.
He walked another ten meters, flagged down a taxi on the street,
and sped directly toward the Security Bureau branch.
Perfect!.
