Chapter 71: Chapter 36: Zhen Mountain Affairs Office_2



"Didn\'t Lisha used to eat fish very seldom? Why do you want to eat it today?"

"Because my teacher said ducks eat fish, and today I played the role of a duck, so I also want to eat fish." The child\'s reasoning was so simple and clear.

"Alright, Grandma will buy you a fish."

The three of them headed to the supermarket, bought the evening\'s groceries, and then returned home.

Neither He Cheng nor Lisha\'s parents had gotten off work yet, so Grandma He and Hexia started to prepare dinner in advance. Gradually, the sounds of cooking emanated from the kitchen, and Grandma He meticulously shared some life tips with Hexia.

Ding-dong—

A ring of the doorbell caught them by surprise, because other family members all had keys and identity recognition, so there was no need for them to ring the bell.

"Someone\'s at the door." Lisha ran into the kitchen to inform the two adults.

"I\'ll go check." Hexia put down what she was holding.

Viewing the image on the display screen next to the door, Hexia felt a wave of surprise, as the visitor\'s attire was indeed quite special, or rather \'old-fashioned.\'

Finally, the door slid open, and the three visitors introduced themselves.

"Hello, is this Madame He\'s residence? I\'m a member of the \'Mountain Shaker Firm\', commissioned by the Payin City Government to investigate and deal with some matters," he presented his identification, which could be searched online.

The attire of the three in front was rather retro, having an ancient Eastern charm to it. Their outer robes were yellow with black edges, with wide sleeves and loose chests, their sashes fluttering elegantly.

But upon closer examination, these were definitely not garments from the ancient East. They wore efficient trousers below, an ultra-fiber chest plate woven underneath, carried a disc scanner on their waists, and had an electromagnetic rifle slung over their backs—undoubtedly professionals.

"Oh, who might you be?" Grandma He, hearing the commotion, had come over and saw the several people outside.

Seeing Grandma He and Lisha\'s distinctively Eastern faces, the visitors softened their tones considerably.

"Good day, madam, we are members of the firm, assigned by the Federal Government to resolve the matter of the recent uncontrolled incident..." The three of them explained in detail.

It turned out that the incidents of loss of control that had occurred recently weren\'t limited to the one Hexia had encountered that day. Several other cases had been discovered elsewhere, with the most noteworthy one taking place on the commercial street.

To prepare for the concert, Payin City had deliberately suppressed the news. Now that the concert was over, it was naturally time to start addressing these issues.

"So, the Federal has asked you to assist?"

"Yes, our \'Mountain Shaker Firm\' has cooperated with the governments of various northern sectors of the Jade Skirt, and has been trusted by district governments for handling difficult matters in Northern Sector 5 and Northern Sector 8 several times. Here is our firm\'s rating." As he spoke, the man before her swiped on his personal terminal, revealing a logo with secret text, showing their firm\'s strength rating as \'B-\', and credibility as \'A\'.

Generally, only firms with a credibility rating of \'A\' receive government-delegated tasks, which tend to be well compensated.

"I see." Hexia nodded thoughtfully, looking at the people before her.

The man leading them appeared to be in his thirties, possessing Spirit Particle Sequence 5 abilities, while the two behind him—one looking in his forties and the other just over twenty—both had Sequence 4 levels.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Hexia Tilan?" He looked at the grey-haired girl in front of him.

On the surface, the girl seemed delicate and wore glasses, her grey hair paired with a common student uniform did not stand out, and her arms and legs did not appear to be particularly strong. It was hard to imagine how she defeated the uncontrolled individual, reportedly when she was only Sequence 2.

"I am." The girl nodded.

"May I ask you about the details of the incident?" He pushed his glasses up on his nose, a flash of pale blue light indicating that he had entered recording mode.

"Sure, but let\'s talk outside." Not wanting to involve or frighten Grandma He\'s family, Hexia took the initiative to step outside.

"Hexia." Grandma He grabbed her hand, signaling that she could refuse and not to agree too readily.

"It\'s okay." Hexia shook her head and then followed the three men out.

The group made their way to a small activity area in the residential zone and began talking next to a bench.

"My name is Yang Che, one of the firm\'s operatives on this case, and I\'m pleased to meet you." Though he said he was pleased, his stern and cold appearance made it difficult to share the sentiment.

However, the man indeed bore no ill will, and the girl could vaguely sense the man\'s emotions, a skill she had acquired after advancing to Withering Sequence 3.

"Sorry, Brother Yang is like this. Let me introduce the others. The gentleman here is called Pascal, and my name is Lude, also a member of this operation." The younger man came forward to ease the atmosphere.

"We arrived yesterday and have seen quite a bit of government-provided material. Now we\'re divided into several teams to investigate, and we\'re one of them. Because your experience is quite unique, we want to get a detailed understanding from you."

"We\'ll just be asking some questions, and if you\'re uncomfortable, you don\'t have to answer." With this operative\'s mediation, the atmosphere at the scene finally relaxed a bit.

"How about we find a restaurant to sit for a bit instead? I\'m quite hungry, right, Uncle Pascal?"

"Right, finding a place to sit is certainly better than standing here like fools." The uncle with grey-white hair patted Yang Che on the shoulder, after which Yang Che also nodded. The group invited Hexia to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
