Inside an office in Shanghai—
"Hey, Gui Bin! I see that you’ve been discharged from the hospital."
"How are you feeling? I hear they provided you with a high-level VIP ward, professional nurses and doctors providing exclusive services, armed police guarding for security, and a beautiful sanatorium environment. It's really enviable!"
"I probably won't ever get into such a high-level ward in my life. I wonder if the nurses there are especially beautiful."
“......”
Gui Bin walked into the office and heard a group of people teasing him with good-natured jokes.
After returning from underground Antarctica, Gui Bin first went to the United States and then returned to China. As a hero, a comprehensive examination in the hospital was arranged for him, checking not only his overall health but also for any strange alien pathogens on his person. As the only group of people on Earth who had contact with extraterrestrial life, there was no telling what dangers such contact might bring. If some special virus entered the country through them, it could lead to a biochemical crisis.
Recently, Gui Bin finally left the hospital and immediately rushed back to work.
At this point, Gui Bin had been promoted to bureau chief. Although it seemed like a middle management role, it still granted him the status of a department head. Moreover, due to the nature of the special department, his authority was even higher.
For his age, such a promotion speed was incredible. It was only possible in this special department during this unique era.
In the entire Special Operations Division, besides the top brass, the chief of the department and Gui Bin held the highest positions.
"Oh, you think I enjoyed being in the hospital? This time, I almost lost my life. Half of the people who went with me died, and I almost didn't make it back."
Gui Bin laughed and scolded them, still showing a lingering fear in his expression. The Antarctic underground expedition was a source of pride in his life, but also an unforgettable experience of terror.
Due to his young age, even though he became a leader, Gui Bin still got along well with the people under him. At this moment, everyone's expressions turned serious, understanding the dangers of the expedition. Gui Bin had genuinely risked his life to complete the mission.
Although important artifacts had already been secretly studied by various countries, Gui Bin, as one of the few in China who had contact with extraterrestrial life and extraterrestrial technology, was highly valued by the government for his knowledge and experiences.
"Chief Gui, the leader is waiting for you inside."
"Alright, I know."
Gui Bin responded and then left the office area, heading to the leader's office.
Upon opening the door, the room was still filled with smoke. Gui Bin frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Team leader, what did you call me for?"
The team leader had actually been promoted long ago, but Gui Bin got used to calling him that, and the team leader didn't mind.
"Boy, you've really turned misfortune into a blessing this time. I jumped several ranks in my forties to reach this position. You, on the other hand, are in your twenties, holding such a high position with considerable power. Congratulations!"
The team leader had a red face and seemed to have gained some weight. As a person who no longer had to struggle on the front lines, his life was quite good.
"Congratulations to you as well. Don't be fooled by my fast promotion. I still have to be led by you, Team Leader."
Gui Bin laughed and said, then unceremoniously sat across from the team leader's desk.
"Haha, you're getting better and better at talking. Back when you first joined our department, you were like a block of wood. Life really molds people."
The team leader sighed. He remembered that when he managed this department, it was like a small and insignificant agency with just a few people. They dealt with pseudo-science and various qigong masters every day.
Who would have thought that supernatural powers would suddenly appear on Earth? Subsequently, the confirmation of these supernatural powers as real, and the emergence of gods, seemed like the beginning of a great era of spiritual revival. Gui Bin, who was once in an overlooked department, even on the verge of being forgotten in the official records, suddenly found his department elevated to one of the most prominent ones in China. Many elites from various fields flocked to this department, and even the soldiers guarding the entrance were from a renowned hero unit.
"Team Leader, don't reminisce about the past. Why don't you tell me what new task I have to do? It's tough for me too, just out of the hospital and already busy with work."
Gui Bin shrugged, straightening up a bit.
"Well, let me tell you something first. Remember those elixirs the old immortal gave us? The military has trained a group of powerful soldiers with them. They have been sent to the Middle East for peacekeeping and have engaged in actual combat. The results are astonishing. Although they can't be called superhumans, they've excelled in many difficult and seemingly impossible tasks."
"...Ever watched 'Mission: Impossible'? Each of those soldiers is like Tom Cruise in the movies, incredibly capable. If it weren't for the fear of being accused of cheating by other countries, we could have directly sent those soldiers to the Olympic Games. Other countries wouldn't stand a chance; they would break all kinds of world records. Although there were some casualties in these units, considering the difficulty of the tasks they accomplished, the casualty rate is almost unbelievably low."
The team leader went on long-winded, and after listening, Gui Bin frowned and said, "I get it. You want me to go see that old immortal again."
"Haha, you're really sharp now. I barely mentioned him, and you've guessed my purpose. That's right, because in our department, you're the only one who has contacted that old immortal, and the results have been very good. Since higher-ups don't want to take risks, the organization has decided that you should go meet the old immortal again and inquire about some things."
The team leader chuckled, revealing the purpose directly this time.
Gui Bin took a deep breath and sighed, "Honestly, I really don't want to deal with those superhuman beings. Standing in front of that old immortal, even if he keeps smiling, I feel fear all over. My trembling body Not wetting my pants on the spot is extremely difficult."
"I understand your feelings. When one's life and death are not under their own control, physiological reactions naturally occur. Without even mentioning you, if you made the President of the United States stand in front of the old immortal, he would probably wet his pants too."
"But this time, you have to go. The Pope has already sent a request for a visit, and it has been approved. Unexpectedly, on the list of personnel for the visit, besides the Pope, there's also that Sister Mirda!"
At this point, the team leader's expression became extremely serious. "Allowing such a superhuman-like person to enter our territory is very dangerous. But facing the earthly angel, we have no choice. Moreover, we can't figure out why Sister Mirda wants to come here. The only source of information we can explore is the old immortal. So, this mission is crucial, and you must complete it!"
Gui Bin stood up and shouted to the team leader, "I promise to fulfill the organization's orders!"
At this moment, Gui Bin had the demeanor of a military man.
