Chapter 244 Proper Guidance (Please Subscribe)
When Lin Rui returned to the riot armored vehicle once more, he felt refreshed and unburdened in his soul.
He felt that he had avenged the true Lin Rui and had done him justice, laying down an invisible burden within his heart and mind.
As for the employer of "Dead Eye" Horn—the Chief Priest of the Guang Ming Holy Church—he could leave the investigation to others for now. If they find him, they'd take him down!
In the base city, Lin Rui's power had already exceeded that of the extraterrestrial beings from Tianji Star.
He put away his face shield and took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator to drink.
"Xue Lingxue, I see that your condition is almost at the fifth realm, and your mutation is nearing its maturation. Why suddenly decide to seal your mutation? And you haven't implanted the 'Zhi Armor Dragon Carapace' yet—is there a reason? Surely it's not for lack of money?"
Xue Lingxue's cheeks twitched ever so slightly upon hearing 'Xue Lingxue,' feeling a surge of frustration and irritation deep within, as if nursing a grave internal injury.
In reality, she did not mind others calling her 'Xue Lingxue,' as it made her seem younger.
But Lin Rui used to call her Sister Xue!
She had been writing an action report for Lin Rui, but now she threw the report into the recycle bin, annoyed.
Let him write his own report!
With an even tone, Xue Lingxue replied, "General, I sealed my mutation because of a job transfer, and I haven't implanted the Zhi Armor Dragon Carapace due to insufficient spiritual power. I can't bear the burden."
She wasn't short on money. Her family left her a substantial inheritance, even enough to support her cultivation to the sixth realm and transform into a dragon with ease.
And all because that money was originally intended for her siblings to prepare for their own Zhi Armor Battle Dragon.
"Insufficient spiritual power? I fear it's not that simple." Lin Rui sipped his soda with a smirk in his eyes. "Could it be a problem with your mental state? Your mutation is showing signs of demonic transformation, isn't it? Is it related to that incident that happened in your family three months ago?"
Xue Lingxue's complexion abruptly changed, and all color drained from her face.
Her mutation was indeed on the verge of demonic transformation, and she dared not use it anymore.
Extreme sorrow and hatred had caused her mutation genes to exhibit signs of sudden change, forcing Xue Lingxue to constantly use an enormous amount of spiritual power to suppress it. This imposed a significant mental toll on her, hence her decision to seal her mutation.
However, she believed she had managed to conceal it well during her meeting with Lin Rui.
"Give me your hand." Lin Rui reached out, and though Xue Lingxue intended to refuse, she was forcefully grasped by the hand.
After carefully sensing and examining, Lin Rui sent Xue Lingxue a prescription through the message system, "Drink tea made from this recipe I've given you, start with three days to see the effects. However, this formula is tailored for your physical body and Primordial Spirit to improve your mental state and the rejection reaction of your internal Zhi Armor. I'm not sure how your mutation is doing; I'll check on it when I have time in the next few days."
Xue Lingxue looked at the chatbox with skepticism in her eyes.
To improve your mental state and reduce the rejection reaction of the internal Zhi Armor at the same time? This guy must be bragging!
The best medications currently available on the market target only one of these conditions, not both.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Rui chuckled, "You've been monitoring me for so long, you must know my background, right? My father is a top-ranked biologist in the Federation, a disciple of Academician Huangfu. I've been taught by my parents since I was a child, though unfortunately, due to family incidents, I had to conceal my talent. By the way, I'm still a student of Professor Sima."
He was quite pleased with his explanation; this lineage, with three generations of traditional medical heritage, was formidable indeed.
Xue Lingxue was also deeply shocked by his words.
Indeed, with the talents Lin Rui was now displaying, it was impossible for him to have been ordinary as a child!
Had she not noticed anything remarkable about Lin Rui before because he was focused on medicine and biosciences, not really putting much effort into other areas?
Moreover, those who are good at using poison often also have decent medical skills, adept at using medicine.
Given Lin Rui's mesmerizing expertise in poison art, the prescription he provided might indeed be effective for the condition.
Just as Xue Lingxue was thinking about trying it out as a last resort, Lin Rui received a new video call.
Once Lin Rui answered the call, Zhou Yunfei's stern face was projected into the central area of the riot-proof armored vehicle.
He was very excited, "Lin Rui, you did a great job this time! Not only did you take down Horn, who led the team of assassins and solved dozens of homicide cases in the Ninth Base City, but you also eradicated the drug and arms syndicate on Xinglong Street! Truly deserving—"
Zhou Yunfei originally wanted to say 'Truly deserving of being the one noticed by the Third Divine Envoy of the Great Song, who climbed to the position of commander of the Spy-Crushing Bureau within just three months.' Then he remembered the secrecy rule and promptly changed his tone, "Truly deserving of being you!"

He really hadn't misjudged Lin Rui; this talented individual he had recruited had given him an immense surprise right upon assuming the role.
The two cases handled by Lin Rui today, if treated separately, would each stand out as a remarkable achievement. Yet Lin Rui delivered double the success.
In particular, the entire thirteen tons of narcotics and over 100 missing girls found in Xinglong Hall could significantly ease the public pressure faced by him and the Security Bureau.
This new Third Special Operations Division he had set up with special methods was now firmly on its feet after just one operation.
Lin Rui's attitude, however, was very proper, "It's all thanks to the Minister's competent guidance and the maximum support provided to our Third Special Operations Division."
"You, you!" Zhou Yunfei let out a laugh and pointed at Lin Rui, "You don't have to do that with me; as long as you get the job done and handle it well, you don't need any of those formalities with me."
This time, Lin Rui had indeed handled things very properly. Zhou had already checked everything; although the reaction of the Martial Artists in Xinglong Hall was strange, the drug tests had no issues.
Which meant, the Federal Security Bureau's self-defense retaliation and raid into Xinglong Hall had no procedural issues, even without a search warrant.
Zhou Yunfei knew that Lin Rui had unconventional methods but didn't care. He himself had nearly been driven into a corner; why observe the rules with others who had never regarded such rules with him?
What he needed now was a bold and brave fighter like Lin Rui.
"Lin Rui, the bureau plans to publicize these two cases, but due to the need to keep your identity a secret, we can't highlight the main organizer of the operations. What do you think?"
"I understand, Minister!" Lin Rui quickly replied, "My identity does indeed need to be kept secret. Please proceed as you see fit; my concerns shouldn't be taken into account."
"Very good! Rest assured, your contributions will still be recorded, and neither the Security Bureau nor I will fail to reward you."
Zhou nodded in satisfaction, then instructed Xue Lingxue, "Xue Lingxue, write me a report on this operation. Lin Rui hasn't been through the formal training of the Security Bureau and might not understand some things; you'll have to help him out a bit more."
After saying that, he hung up the call, and Xue Lingxue, feeling as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly, dragged the document out from the recycle bin.
Xue Lingxue was relieved that she hadn't shredded the file in the recycle bin earlier.
However, considering that Lin Rui had prescribed medication for her, which showed a bit of conscience, Xue Lingxue no longer felt as upset as before.
At this moment, Lin Rui was shaking a soda bottle, "But Xue Lingxue, though my prescription can help soothe your spirit, it's only a temporary fix and not a cure. The real trouble will start when you transform into a dragon."
Xue Lingxue's delicate body trembled slightly before she continued to focus on her writing.
She knew Lin Rui was right, that to truly find a cure, she needed to quell her inner demons.
At the same time, she also felt a bit of anticipation for the prescription Lin Rui had given her.@@novelbin@@
If the prescription could even temporarily ease her condition, it would be a very pleasant surprise.
After handling today's official duties, she was planning to try it out immediately—eager to see just how effective the prescription from the disciple of Grandmaster Huangfu and Professor Sima really was—
What do you think?
