I'm not a drama god

Yang Xiao recounted to Lu Xun what had happened in the previous few days.

When he heard that Chen Ling had led them out of the encirclement, a hint of surprise flashed across Lu Xun's face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"It seems that I was right about you..." Lu Xun stood up again and extended his hand to Chen Ling solemnly.

"Director Chen, our previous meeting in Shennongjia was a bit hasty... Please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Lu Xun, a doctor of astrophysics, and one of the initiators of the Red Star Exploration Project."

Seeing this, Chen Ling also stood up and shook his hand.

"I'm Chen Ling."

Chen Ling's self-introduction was very simple. He did not explain where he came from, nor why he wanted to help Su Zhiwei and others. He seemed to be full of mysteries, just like the deep and mysterious universe...

Lu Xun didn't hate mystery. He just needed to know that Chen Ling treated them in a friendly manner, and that was enough.

"Actually, this meeting is a bit rushed..." Lu Xun glanced at the time on his watch, "However, we still have at least half an hour, and no one will disturb us during this time."

"So, what's going on? Who's following you?"

A complex expression flashed across Lu Xun's eyes. After a long silence, he sighed:

"…It's the 749th round."

"749 Bureau?"

Chen Ling and Yang Xiao were both stunned.

"Bureau 749, the full name is the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation, which was once part of the Defense Department, but later became independent and is responsible for the exploration and investigation of civilian paranormal phenomena... Because my work involves cosmic observation, I occasionally interact with their people, and my astronomical observation unit is supervised by them."

"Is there really such an organization?" Yang Xiao asked in surprise. "I always thought that Bureau 749 was just a rumor... So are they an official organization or an unofficial one?"

"The situation of Bureau 749 is quite complicated... You can think of it as a semi-official organization. It has some official background, but none of its members have official identities." Lu Xun paused for a moment and continued.

"The daily work of the 749th Bureau is to search for and investigate some Shinto owners and register them to prevent their abilities from affecting social stability. These registered personnel are called 'white hands', and those who act within our country but have not been registered are called 'black hands'."

After saying that, Lu Xun glanced at Chen Ling.

People like Chen Ling who have supernatural powers but whose true identity has not been fully understood by Bureau 749 are naturally members of the “black hand”.

"So... the authorities have long known about the existence of Shintoism, and have already established a complete management system for Shintoism owners?"

To be honest, Chen Ling was not surprised by this. After all, Shintoism had existed since ancient times, and the authorities could not have been unaware of it. There must be more than one expert like Xiao Chunping in the country... The so-called intangible cultural heritage exchange forum was probably some kind of "white-handed" meeting organized by the authorities.

Needless to say, Nie Yu is a fifth-level [Hunter] and is quite famous on the dark web. People both at home and abroad know about the existence of Shinto, but they just keep it secret.

"Yes." Lu Xun nodded slightly. "The impact of the Red Star's arrival this time was too great. There were a lot of casualties in Shangjing. The 749th Bureau has long attached great importance to it... So they found me as soon as possible and wanted me to lead a team to analyze the Red Star fragments and find out what it is."

"Then, you called us together?" Yang Xiao suddenly realized, "I was wondering why we were so anxious for this exploration..."

"Because we don't know what the Red Star is, we need experts from various fields to take charge, but no one expected that such a change would occur in Shennongjia..."

Lu Xun smiled bitterly.

"After the exploration, Bureau 749 was very surprised by our experience. Who could have imagined that a piece of debris from outer space would melt and disappear into our bodies... So, they proposed to take samples from my body for experimental analysis."

Hearing this, Chen Ling's expression gradually became subtle, and he seemed to have guessed how subsequent events would develop.

"Then what?" Yang Xiao asked immediately.

"Later, they found some unknown component in my blood. They couldn't analyze it, and my brain waves were completely out of the human range... This kind of discovery has never been seen in human history.

So, they proposed to conduct a more detailed analysis on me, and I agreed... After all, this is a major discovery for mankind. If we can decipher something from it, perhaps human technology will usher in another leap forward.

They took slices of my skin, blood, organs, and even a portion of my bone marrow...

I cooperated with them in conducting various experiments in the laboratory, but did not make any progress. Until one day, I suddenly found that I seemed to have some kind of power that could turn some theoretical knowledge into reality... This made Bureau 749 even more shocked.

It was also from that time that I realized that something was wrong.

Although I stayed in the lab and had no contact with the outside world, I could sense that there seemed to be disagreements within the 749th Bureau... More and more people came to take samples from me, and the daily experiments became more and more intensive. In the end, I even had symptoms of shock and coma due to frequent blood draws. "

"Are they using you for human experiments?" Yang Xiao frowned and asked, "749 Bureau, they're still doing this?"

"No... This may not be the intention of Bureau 749, but the intention of some individuals, because later I was secretly transferred out of the laboratory of Bureau 749 and transferred to another place for secret experiments... I am afraid that someone wants to conceal the secret and take my secret for themselves."

"……Then what?"

"I realized something was wrong, so I secretly borrowed a cell phone from Dr. Chu and started contacting other members who participated in the exploration... Because I felt that the changes in me were not isolated cases, and you might also become the target of this group of people.

I first contacted Wu Tongyuan. His plane had just landed in Beijing, so I asked him to buy the nearest flight to Las Vegas.

As for the others, Dr. Ji and Dr. Lou have been missing since the end of the exploration. Dr. Chu is right next to me, and I don’t have Dr. Su’s phone number. No one answered when I called her unit… I called your unit, and they said you were missing again…

Time was tight and I couldn’t contact more people, so I could only pretend to cooperate with the experiment, secretly find an opportunity to leave, and then contact you. "

"I have a question!" Chen Ling suddenly spoke.

"You said."

"Dr. Chu, who is it?"
