The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 231 The Tip of the Iceberg of SMRT SRIT

Director Zhong stared intently at Hong Tao, who remained calm and composed.

His chest, which had been heaving violently with excitement, and his rapid breathing gradually calmed down, as if by magic, his excitement vanished in an instant.

A while later.

"You...do you already have other plans?"

Seeing this, Hong Tao knew that Director Zhong's mood had returned to a state where he could communicate normally, so he slowly put down the teacup he had been holding tightly, the bottom of the cup gently tapping against the table with a crisp sound.

"Next, if the military asks you for the Kaixa belt again, just tell them clearly that the Kaixa belt is now under the supervision of our special forces."

"If they really want it that much, let them come to the Special Operations unit and find me themselves, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Tao rolled his eyes at Director Zhong.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhong was taken aback at first, then slapped his thigh and burst into laughter: "Haha, Dr. Hong, you're amazing! This really solves my urgent problem. With your support, I have more confidence in dealing with those guys in the military!"

He laughed.

Hong Tao straightened up slightly, his expression becoming serious, and then said, "Alright, now that I've solved your problem, it's time to talk about my business."

"Oh? Dr. Hong, what trouble do you need the help of the Harbin Special Investigation Bureau?"

"As long as it's within my ability, just tell me what to do, and I'll do my best without hesitation!"

Because Hong Tao stepped in to shield him from a major problem, Director Zhong patted his chest forcefully to show his determination.

“It’s nothing serious. Just do what I told you to do in a bit… and then do this…” Hong Tao said, leaning forward slightly and deliberately lowering his voice to Director Zhong’s ear.

Director Zhong listened intently, nodding frequently.

Inside the office, the two sat with their heads close together, talking in hushed tones.

A moment later.

A car bearing the markings of the Special Operations Bureau drove away from the Special Operations Base alone.

.................................................. ..

Harbin.

Sports Center Stadium.

Chen Yexi sat alone in a relatively deserted section of the stands. The crowd in the distance was bustling, but he seemed particularly lonely.

He would occasionally raise his wrist, his gaze falling on his watch, as if calculating the time, or perhaps waiting for someone to arrive.

Time passed by, and a few minutes later, a mysterious man wearing a black trench coat and with a lollipop in his mouth strode straight toward Chen Yexi and sat down in the empty seat next to him without hesitation.

"The king sent me to inform you that the people have been prepared for you as requested."

"But I have to remind you, you don't have much time left in the game. I hope you can complete the game successfully!"

After saying these words, the man in the trench coat, as if completing a task, gently placed a cell phone on the seat he had just sat on, and then reached out to pat non-existent dust off his trousers.

Then he stood up, turned around and left without looking back, quickly disappearing into the bustling crowd in the stadium.

Chen Yexi watched the man in the trench coat walk away expressionlessly. After a moment of silence, she slowly reached out and picked up the cell phone on the seat next to her.

Looking down, I saw a prominent logo flashing on the phone screen—SMRT SRIT.

The logo exudes a high-tech, cool glow.

Without much hesitation, Chen Yexi directly clicked the button labeled "Personnel" at the bottom of the screen.

Accompanied by a soft electronic sound effect, the screen began to refresh rapidly.

A few seconds later, the image froze, showing sixteen lifelike Orphnoch heads neatly arranged on the screen.

Each profile picture is accompanied by a detailed list of personal information, including name, age, appearance, abilities, and more.

In addition, there is a prominent red "Task" button at the very bottom of all the information.

Chen Yexi stared intently at his phone screen, and as the constantly refreshing messages came into view, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him.

This King of Orphnoch was so in tune with the times; his methods were astounding.

Using its vast conglomerate as a cover, it secretly and aggressively recruited the newly formed Orphino.

Moreover, they used various enticing conditions and benefits to drive these subdued Orphnochs to serve them wholeheartedly.

This series of actions fully demonstrates the ambition of the King of Orphnoch.

Thinking of this, Chen Yexi felt a wave of sadness wash over her.

At this very moment, am I not also being used as a pawn by the King of Orphnoch?

Despite his resentment, reality left him powerless to break free from this constraint.

Shaking her head helplessly, Chen Yexi tried her best to drive these distracting thoughts out of her mind.

The most important thing right now is to do everything possible to obtain the Kaixa belt and use it to rescue Xu Jie and the others who are trapped.

As for the others, they can only be put aside for now and discussed later.

After calming down, Chen Yexi quickly opened her mobile phone's communication software and sent mission instructions to each of her sixteen Orphino subordinates.

These tasks were quite simple: to create as much chaos and turmoil as possible in various corners of Harbin and Qiqihar, thereby attracting the attention of the Special Operations Bureau.

Moreover, it would be best to involve those mysterious armors that have only recently appeared in the conflict.

This will make the situation increasingly complicated, and Chen Yexi can take advantage of the chaos to find opportunities to achieve her goals.

Nearly half an hour had passed since the task was assigned.

The sixteen Orphnochs lived up to Chen Yexi's expectations, demonstrating astonishing destructive power and mobility.

At this moment, the urban area of ​​Harbin has fallen into extreme chaos.

On the streets, patrol officers were working hard to disperse the panicked crowds.

Meanwhile, the Leo cavalry of the Special Operations Bureau also set out to try to control the situation, but the Orphnochs did not engage them in battle. Instead, they fought and retreated, delaying their time.

Amidst this chaotic scene, Chen Yexi astutely seized an opportunity.

He cleverly used the surrounding buildings and crowds as cover, moving silently through the streets and alleys.

He walked each step carefully to avoid attracting attention.

And so, he gradually drew closer and closer to the special operations base...
