Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 573: Vermillion Bird Soul

New Light City.

[Jiuyu Defense], President's Office.

"This is the next action plan, please take a look."

Xia Le put down the data tablet.

Song Shi shifted his gaze away from the movie playing on the specially purchased super-large display screen. The resources and technical strength of [Age of Dust Contract] are there, and the works invested in its streaming media are hits every quarter.

The film, "Sitael's Adventure: The Song of Everfreeze", was promoted through short videos and became extremely popular on the Internet long before its official release. It has been proven that it has withstood the popularity, with both artistic and interesting content and an amazing amount of art resources.

"Well, there are fewer than I thought."

Song Shi glanced at the file.

"There's nothing we can do. We are really short of manpower." Xia Le shrugged. "The situation at our headquarters is also tight. We can't spare much manpower to support us. We have received a lot of resumes from social recruitment, but they require background checks, interviews, and training. They can't be converted into regular employees in a short period of time."

The headquarters she mentioned was naturally the Enlightened One.

"Moreover, the company, especially Nanyu Heavy Industry, hates us to the core. They have done a lot of dirty work overtly and covertly. Even though we took precautions in advance, we still suffered some losses."

"You're not blaming me, are you?"

Song Shi raised his head.

"This is a misunderstanding - I am simply reporting the latest situation." Xia Le smiled and said, "Reginald is known as the executioner of Southern Heavy Industry. How many evil deeds has he done over the years? He should have been killed long ago, not to mention the fourth ring! Even a giant enterprise only has that many!"

"You should say this. Reginald is known as the executioner of the Southern Region Heavy Industry. How ruthless is he?"

Song Shi commented.

"Uh" Xia Le blinked: "Then I'll pay attention next time."

Song Shi dropped the data tablet and lay back in the boss chair.

A month has passed since the "World's No. 1 Security Conference" came to a successful conclusion.

With the genuine title of "the best security guard in the world", Jiuyu Defense has attracted a lot of traffic, gained great fame, and grown bigger and stronger, with so much business that it can't finish it all.

There are two main reasons why business is pouring in. First, everyone knows that Jiu Yu Defense is backed by Qimingzhe and they are in cahoots with each other. If their company becomes a client of Jiu Yu Defense, then the terrorists of Qimingzhe will obviously no longer carry out terrorist attacks on them - including but not limited to assassination or public execution of senior executives, destruction of physical industries, electronic hacking, and forcing the company to promote serious unreasonable behaviors such as paying salaries on time.

The second is the young president of Jiuyu Defense.

Yes, everyone knew that he was not "Nan Dou" Song Shi, but just a company person with the same name and similar appearance. But it was not a big problem, the opponent was still able to fight, and the live video of Reginald being beheaded by the frontal blow was still circulating in many online communities.

With such a master around, as long as there is no outrageous demand like attacking a giant enterprise, there is no task that can be called "uncompleted" for [Jiuyu Defense] - what kind of tough guy can stop the president?
"Two more people died this week."

Song Shi thought of the report he had just seen. Not long ago, during a field mission, there was an armed conflict and two Jiuyu Defense employees were killed on the spot.

“Pensions and follow-up security for relatives.”

"It's all done." Xia Le suppressed his smile and nodded slightly: "I have always personally reviewed this aspect."

"Ah."

Song Shi responded without any change in expression.

No one is immortal. From the moment you take your place, do your job, join the Enlightened, and become a member of the Nine Defense Force, everyone is mentally prepared. It doesn't matter if you don't have it, death is equal.

"——Xia Le, you did a great job. Continue to follow the original plan."

Song Shi jumped up from the boss chair.

"The world's best security guard is both a recognition and a temptation." Song Shi said, "Don't expand too fast. After all, we have to rely on the new city of light. Once the places we open up are too far away and too scattered, it will be very easy for the company to use bleeding tactics to consume our strength."

"I understand." Xia Le took back the data tablet, held it in his arms, and added: "I am a professional after all, so I have good professional qualities."

Song Shi laughed.

As Xia Le watched, he jumped back and fell through the open window. Jiuyu Defense was wealthy—at least wealthy in New Light City, and the president's office was located on the top floor of a building several hundred meters high.

The next moment, the flames rose again and rushed into the sky.

"Hiss, why don't you guys like to go through the front door?"

Looking at the fire that disappeared into the sky in an instant, Xia Le leaned against the window, shaking his head, revealing an expression of deep emotion.

Flame, high speed, and disregard for the New Light City's airspace control regulations, when these three appear at the same time, its target can only be that "Nan Dou".

Song Shi bathed in the brilliant sunshine.

——Xia Le was not aware of the robbery of the [textile machine].

Not enough level.

However, in addition to this, under the will of Chakolo and Xu Yudu, the Enlightened One had already begun to operate secretly. Deployment orders were issued one after another, manpower was quietly transferred, and a virtual training ground was built under the New Casting Light City to simulate the "near-earth space combat environment."

The center of the sky data tower is 170 kilometers above the ground. Even with auxiliary flight equipment, how to use it proficiently and use it to engage in combat is still a difficult problem and requires repeated training.

Moreover, the Sky Data Tower Center is not a floating tower floating there alone. As the storage place of the [Textile Machine], a huge protective combat matrix surrounds the tower to intercept all possible attacks.

If a single soldier were to break through this level of protective combat matrix, even a fourth-ring psychic would have to work hard.

Analyzing the structure of the defense battle matrix, simulating battle situations, and allocating tasks all take time.

The current preliminary plan is to dispatch three fourth-ring psychics, including Song Shi, to accompany Cha Keluo in the frontal assault. At the same time, multiple third-ring Enlightened members will be responsible for the surrounding offensive, involving armed forces, and trying to buy time and space for the frontal battlefield.

This is the greatest manpower that the Enlightened One can mobilize after repeated consideration. Xu Yudu and the remaining members must stay in place firmly - but even so, it is also a dangerous moment when the Enlightened One is extremely empty.

However, there is also a trump card.

Ye Nan and Qi Ming Zhe had many exchanges in the past, and after Song Shi's "border inspection" and "Qiming Zhe's foreign investment ambassador" went on a trip, both sides had the intention to deepen cooperation. If there were some critical moments, they could use some of Ye Nan's strength.

But as the situation in Terra becomes increasingly tense, this trump card should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

"Then, [Suzaku Soul]."

Song Shi slowly raised his eyes and whispered to himself.

"——My 'Fa You Yuan Ling'."
