Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 554 - 424: Docking

The two of them are from the Celestial Bow Star Realm, invited by the Feiyang Materials Group.

The woman glanced at the man, smiling as she spoke, "Don't complain unnecessarily, understand the situation first."

Although she was smiling while speaking, the tone was not friendly.

The man also smiled and replied, "It's not your place to tell me what to do."

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, looking around indifferently, "It was said before we came, I'm in charge of this trip."

The man shrugged indifferently, "I know, but women in charge... hehe."

"Why didn't you say that before we came?" the woman replied while leisurely walking towards the taxi plaza.

"Can you show some responsibility? Don't make me look down on you."

"Just this once," the man said with an indifferent smile, "I'm just reminding you, don't be too indecisive."

The woman replied without turning her head, "I'm in charge of this operation, you just need to take action."

The man pressed his lips together and finally said no more.

The two rented a car and checked into a high-end hotel a street away from the Starr Family's old house.

What they didn't know was, the machine cannon that attacked the Starr Family two days ago was originally set up on the hotel rooftop.

In the temporary parking lot in front of the hotel, there was an inconspicuous large SUV parked.

Inside the SUV, it was filled with all kinds of instruments and messy wiring, looking like a complex laboratory,

Three people were lazily scanning various screens inside the car.

Suddenly, someone frowned, "Did the Elemental Sensor on the far right just fluctuate?"

"Impossible, right?" someone else disagreed, "This is the latest sensor, doesn't it have sound and light alarms?"

"Can't we just replay it?" the third person said indifferently, "You're all being lazy."

After replaying, the three exchanged looks, seeing a faint elevated shadow on the horizontal line on the screen, very brief.

"What the hell is this," someone couldn't help but complain, "Is this the latest?"

"Sample capturing can't be continuous," another mumbled, "The interval is still a bit large."

"Not practical," criticized the third person, "Active detection is fine, but passive sensing is more continuous."

"The sensitivity of passive perception is too poor," someone else chimed in, "Let's see who just passed by."

The three pulled up the hotel's footage and carefully analyzed the synchronized process, discovering it was a pair of middle-aged people.

They extracted the two's identity information and found out they were actually psychological consultants.

Being a psychological consultant is a profession with a threshold, at least a Modified Warrior, otherwise, it's not easy to gain the patients' trust.

Moreover, if patients have an episode, they might also cause certain harm to the consultant.

"So that's it, report it up, suggest keeping an eye on them for a couple of days."

The two consultants checked into the hotel, and the next day rented a car to roam the streets and alleys.

They not only shopped but also went to parks and such places, leisurely, as if they were touring.

Two days later, the people surveilling them left, and the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Those damn ants, finally gone."

"I've already contacted the Starr Family," the woman also had her responsibilities, "If it's judged safe, we can reach out."

"Have them come to us," the man said leisurely, "It's not like they even have a B-level family, what are they putting on airs for?"

The woman hesitated but finally didn't argue over who was in charge, mainly because the family on the other side was indeed unremarkable.

She nodded slightly, "After all, we're here with a mission, I'll take full responsibility for the liaison."

That night, she released a signal and came to a mecha training ground the next day.

Mecha training is expensive, and entering the field requires identity verification.

However, with their identity as psychological consultants, they could enter directly.

After entering the training ground, the two sat in the stands, setting up a psychological consultation sign.

In such a business venue, soliciting business isn't very appropriate, but as long as they don't take the initiative, it's okay.

Few people came to inquire, one or two an hour at most, mostly middle-aged and older people.

The participants in mecha training were all young people, in this kind of public place, they surely didn't want to show "I have psychological problems."

So mostly it was parents asking on behalf of their children, with more focus on cost-effectiveness.

Star No. 4 also has psychological clinics, parents are mostly suspicious of these proactive consultants.

Halfway through the morning, a middle-aged man and woman came, looking like a couple.

In fact, they were members of the Starr Family, and after matching the code, the four began to chat.

They had already informed the Celestial Bow Star Realm of the family's current situation through confidential documents, and the recent events were being explained now.

The male consultant spoke rarely, while the female consultant still appeared enthusiastic.

"The fourth in command appearing, the pressure from the Government is indeed great... Now that we're here, state your demands."

The Starr Family didn't let Romel come, not only because he is the focus of the incident, but also because he is too stubborn.

The two who just arrived, the woman is slightly more extreme, the man relatively more composed.

The man first wants to understand and know what the two from Celestial Bow can do for us.

They only know that the people coming have extraordinary problem-solving abilities, and the price to enlist their help is not cheap.

But what they can actually do, the people in the family aren't very clear about.

What is certain is that they absolutely do not have support from the Government, otherwise these two would not have thought that the pressure from the Government is great.

The female consultant stated blandly that investigation, probing for information, and corresponding revenge, these are all no problem depending on what you want.

The man expressed that he wants to know the truth, and secondly, rational and concealed revenge.

The woman thought the opposite, she wanted moderate revenge, with the truth taking second place.

If the process of killing can be concealed and reasonable enough, she hopes to kill a few more people.

Their opinions are not aligned, but this doesn't trouble the two consultants – their demands aren't much different, only the emphasis varies.

Hence, the female consultant suggested, investigation and revenge can proceed simultaneously, you can propose the sequence for the revenge.

The woman wanted to say more, but the man nudged her, indicating they should let the professionals handle it from a professional angle.

The female consultant nodded satisfactorily, "That's more like it, let's make our decision then."

She indeed does not like picky clients, if she can play freely, the task can be completed successfully and smoothly.

However, the woman couldn't help but ask, "Can you roughly specify the order?"

The female consultant was left speechless, glanced at her, and replied with a smile.

"We still need to do further analysis and confirmation, so we can't finalize the order just yet, please understand."

The woman tried to say more, but the man tugged her, speaking harshly.

"Enough, know your limits, don't be so clueless... let's just wait for the results."

In the next moment, someone else came over to inquire about psychological consultations, seeing this, the two excused themselves.

An hour later, the two consultants left the training ground.

In outsiders' eyes, the pair stayed for so long yet didn't manage to finalize even an intention, leaving empty-handed.

However, a consultant's work often goes by the saying "don't open for business for three months, but one successful deal feeds for three," so it's not surprising that clients are hard to find.

Leaving the training ground, the male consultant muttered, "That woman... really clueless!"

"Who are you sarcastically saying that to?" The female consultant gave him a sidelong glance, noticing someone not far away, she adjusted into a smile.

"Alright, let's conduct a simple investigation for now, if there's no major accident, stick to routine."

At this point, the situation has developed into some contradictory circumstances.

The two consultants are considering how to efficiently complete the task, paying no mind to the Starr family's hatred ranking.

They spent another three days investigating the basic situation of each faction.

The last investigation was on support teachers from Green Water at the Engineering College – the college is relatively closed.

Just investigating the Green Water four took them a full day and a half – safety had to be prioritized.

For the three female B-levels, the two only gained a general understanding, the key was still this person named Panda.

They were worried about alerting the target, so they did not enter the library, opting to enjoy the scenery in the shade near the library instead.

According to their information, Panda has some peculiarities, so they waited twice.

Once during morning off-duty, and once in the afternoon.

Civil observation during brief encounters couldn't involve excessive perception, caution was necessary.

For this reason, they slightly adjusted their attire, each adding a jacket during the afternoon off-duty.

However, what they didn't expect was that their observation target wasn't only peculiar but also had a notably weak sense of security.

During lunchtime off-duty, Qu Jianlei vaguely sensed something off about these two.

People of this age are either teachers or student parents, but he could ascertain they definitely weren't teachers.

Previously, he didn't possess such keen perception, but having interacted frequently with college teachers, he had picked up a number of traits.

These traits are not merely scholarly, there's also a kind of... how to describe it? A faint sense of coercion.

Not the overbearing kind, more like "you have to accept what I say," closer to a sort of confidence.

Thus, discerning whether they are teachers or not is comparatively straightforward.

If a parent, Qu Jianlei wouldn't care much, the engineering college has pleasant scenery, parents often come to visit.

However, passing by these two sparked a slight sense of unease in him.

At that moment, he didn't pay much attention, recognizing his weak sense of security sometimes led to oversensitive spirits, resulting eventually in false alarms.

Anyway, as the other party did not display any murderous intent, he just went past them.

But when this pair appeared again off-duty in the afternoon, it touched Qu Jianlei's nerves.

Each had added a jacket, seemingly cold, but... was it a bit too obvious?
