Chapter 245 Revival (Subscribe Please)
That night, after Xue Lingxue had dealt with all her official duties and returned to her apartment with exhaustion, it was already 8 p.m. Upon entering, she casually turned on the TV.
This was a habit her father had instilled in her, for as a government official, she needed to be constantly aware of current affairs.
The TV was broadcasting news about Lin Rui.
Xue Lingxue first visited the Tianlan Group's website and bought some medicine according to the prescription Lin Rui had written for her. Then, she listened to the news while taking a bath.
"Today, Mingde University held a press conference. The university's scientific expedition team, led by Professor Han Kedao, recently achieved significant scientific accomplishments on the planet Tianji Star—After braving harsh conditions and cultivating deep roots for three years, and enduring great hardships and dangers, Professor Han Kedao's team returned to the Earth Federation with parts of the 'Abyssal War Dragon's' carcass and a substantial amount of abyssal essence. This has shocked both the scientific expedition and scientific communities and is expected to contribute greatly to the advancement of biological science in the Federation in the near future—"
"Urgent news from our station, according to the Security Bureau, at 7:13 p.m. tonight, the Federal Security Bureau, under the directive of General Zhou Yunfei of the Armed Police Force, launched a heavy strike against an underground drug trafficking group and engaged in battle with them on Xinglong Street in the lower district.
—During this battle, the Security Bureau and the Armed Police fought bravely, killing 175 armed attackers, seizing 13.7 tons of various drugs, confiscating over 400 firearms, and a total of 37 mechas and combat robots valued at 5.2 billion federal currency! Near Xinglong Street, they also discovered the SS-class assassin team led by the infamous Horn—"
At this moment, Xue Lingxue's personal smart terminal received a new message.
She opened it and found it was from a former classmate at the Third Public Security University, who also currently worked in the Security Bureau's ninth division. This was a colleague of hers.
Misty Dust (Zhang Ruoying): Sister Xue, I just heard through the grapevine that the real reason you were transferred to the ninth division is due to the risk of mutation in the xenobe, which forced it to be sealed away?
Xue Lingxue frowned slightly, wondering how even Zhang Ruoying knew about her xenobe's imminent risk of mutating.
This matter was actually confidential, with a very high level of secrecy! The problem was that many of her colleagues had seen her driven to the brink of mutation by extreme sorrow and hatred at that time.
Xue Lingxue knew it was most likely that someone among her colleagues had leaked the information.
Three months ago, she was a rare four-realm super-king xenobe agent within the Security Bureau. Because she was nearing the risk of mutation, she had to extract two powerful bio-enhancements from her body, lowering her bio-enhancement grade to SS.
Xue Lingxue was aware that in her past, relying on her formidable talent and youthful vigor, she had been too sharp and unyielding in her conduct and relations with others, not knowing how to restrain herself; hence, after the incident, many were eager to see her fail.
Misty Dust (Zhang Ruoying): I don't mean anything by it, I'm just worried about you. I also wanted to recommend a drug to you. Have you heard of 'Resonance,' a new drug produced by Taisu Company? It's really effective at alleviating bio-enhancement syndrome. Didn't I have problems with bio-enhancement syndrome before? Now, after using 'Resonance,' I have had no issues for three consecutive checks.
Misty Dust (Zhang Ruoying): You really should give it a try. By the way, I'm now an SS-grade Lieutenant Colonel, just like you! And I'm the leader of a 4S team in the Xenobe Agent Bureau!
Zhang Ruoying then sent over a photo of herself sitting in her spacious office, with a nameplate on her desk and a beaming smile.
Misty Dust (Zhang Ruoying): Look! I've finally caught up with you.
Xue Lingxue couldn't tell if this woman was sympathizing with her and recommending a drug, or if she was bragging.
She immediately accessed the Security Bureau's website and started checking Zhang Ruoying's information.
Xue Lingxue was Lin Rui's assistant, with nearly all his authorizations, which gave her access to almost all privileges of a bio-enhancement Major General. In addition, her superior was in charge of a special operations department with a confidentiality level of SSS+. It's important to note that this refers to the confidentiality level, ranging from the lowest F-grade to the highest X. SSS+ is just below X-grade.
Xue Lingxue could view all of Zhang Ruoying's information within the Security Bureau.
"It's true indeed. Zhang Ruoying is not only an SS-grade bio-enhanced Lieutenant Colonel, but she has also passed the mental evaluation three times and is indeed the leader of a 4S team."
"Resonance, huh? I've heard about it, it has been widely discussed in the division recently."
The medicines she ordered had also arrived; with intra-city orders, it took less than five minutes for a drone to deliver the medicine to her doorstep.
Xue Lingxue brewed the medicine while shifting her focus to the two directives issued by Lin Rui in the department.
The first was to grant Xue Ying, the guardian witch, the privilege to implant a biological intelligence chip and access the Earth Federation network, also mobilizing funds to commission Professor Si Malin's team to cultivate a humanlike xenobe for Lin Rui's guardian.
As it involved Lin Rui's confidential identity, this money had to be allocated from the 500 million action funds and could not be reported in the public account.
Xue Lingxue thought that if a humanlike xenobe could be cultivated for Blood Blade Ji, it would be a great thing that could significantly enhance Lin Rui's security forces and also benefit Blood Blade Ji's development.
This directive had already been authorized by General Zhou and was classified as a 3S+ top-secret mission. Currently, only three people in the ninth division, including herself, had access to it.
The second directive was to investigate Guang Ming Holy Church, especially the Ninth Metropolitan Women's and Children's Healthcare Fund, as well as the current situation of Guang Ming Holy Church's High Priest Meng Jianjie.
The third was to uncover the entire truth behind the Xue family's annihilation.
Both these cases had been marked by Lin Rui as the future focus of the Third Special Operations Science Department's work.
Xue Lingxue looked at the final command, her emotions indescribable.
She opened Zhang Long's chat window.
White Summer (Xue Lingxue): Uncle Zhang, did you see the directive the chief issued?
Zhang Long: I saw it, and I'm already investigating. Our team isn't very familiar with this situation, so it might take some time.
Zhang Long: Xiaoxue, don't worry about anything else, I will eventually uncover the truth and root out those people. Right now, your most important task is to help the chief build up the Third Special Operations Department. We need a large number of reliable personnel with solid backgrounds and exceptional abilities!
Seeing Zhang Long's reply, Xue Lingxue felt much more at ease.
Her resentment towards Lin Rui also diminished quite a bit; although his temper was terrible, he wasn't inherently bad.
Xue Lingxue then sat on the sofa and continued to study the personnel files of ranks below Major General on the Security Bureau's website.
Uncle Zhang was right, the Third Special Operations Department really did need a large number of firm and reliable hands.
Not long after, her medicinal tea was ready.
Xue Lingxue poured a cup for herself and drank it somewhat absentmindedly.
But just three minutes later, Xue Lingxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and an incredulous look appeared in her eyes.
At that moment, her spirit and body felt relaxed like never before!
It was as if a mountain had been lifted from her shoulders.
At the same time, the cybernetic implants in her body were 'reviving.' They reconnected with Xue Lingxue's body and mind, becoming tightly integrated again.
The feeling was like a rusty machine that had been lubricated, with all the previous stiffness, dullness, separation, and even resistance almost entirely gone.
"This is—"
Xue Lingxue could hardly believe it: "This can't be possible! Is this the effect of the medicinal tea? Targeting both mental and implant rejection reactions at the same time, even the most top-tier medicine on the market couldn't do this, no! Not even one-tenth of the effect is possible."
She felt as if her current condition was not much different from three months ago.
Xue Lingxue then put on her exoskeleton armor to test the composition of the medicinal tea.
Her pupils dilated with even greater surprise: "There are no stimulants, and it's not addictive!"
This meant that it didn't have pharmacological addictiveness.
Xue Lingxue predicted that she would psychologically rely heavily on this medicinal tea in the future.
She promptly opened a chat window with Lin Rui.
White Summer (Xue Lingxue): Chief, where are you right now?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): I'm performing surgery on Tianji Star, why?
White Summer (Xue Lingxue): I'll send my alternative self to find you. The medicinal tea you prescribed me was very effective, and I'd like you to take a look at my alternative self as well.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Effective, right? Haha, I had to invoke Professor Huangfu's name. Come to this location to meet me, it's an underground base built by Professor Han. Be careful on the way, don't get followed.
At that moment, Lin Rui was performing a biochip implantation surgery on Ji Xueying.
Fei Yunlai's case involved remaking a chip and required reimplanting identity information, so it was very complicated.
For Ji Xueying, it was simpler, as all that was needed was a new biochip.

He looked at Ji Xueying, who lay unconscious in the surgical pod, the corners of his lips curling up with an anticipatory smile.
This girl was about to experience an information explosion that would shock her to the core.
