The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 96 A Scheme Within a Scheme (12)

In Harbin, within the Special Affairs Bureau base, lies a large-scale, state-of-the-art internal airport.

Sunlight streamed onto the wide runway and tarmac, reflecting a dazzling light.

At this moment, a transport plane slowly landed, and after the cabin door opened, Ma Mingzhe was the first to step out of the cabin.

The ant soldier squad behind him also escorted Yu Li to the operations department for interrogation.

Just as everyone was walking forward, a figure suddenly appeared from around the corner.

This man was Hong Tao. He hurried towards Ma Mingzhe, calling out loudly, "Mingzhe, I was just about to look for you!"

Hearing the shouts, Ma Mingzhe stopped and turned around.

At the same time, Hong Tao also came closer. His gaze inadvertently swept over Yu Li, who was being escorted at the back of the group. His tone changed, and he asked in surprise, "Is this the Orphnoch you mentioned in the communications?"

Ma Mingzhe nodded and replied, "That's right, Dr. Hong. Besides him, there was also the Crane Orphnoch at the scene, but because she could fly, we only managed to capture the Pangolin Orphnoch in the end."

Hong Tao frowned slightly, glanced thoughtfully at Yu Li, and then said to the Ant Soldier Squad, "Since we have already taken the necessary measures against this guy, let's lock him up in the Operations Department's prison first."

Then, he turned to Ma Mingzhe beside him and said in a low voice, "The cleanup operation is about to begin, and there is no time to deal with his affairs right now."

Before he finished speaking, Hong Tao grabbed Ma Mingzhe's arm and strode quickly toward the conference room not far away without saying another word.

The remaining ant soldiers looked at each other, bewildered and at a loss.

Fortunately, staff members soon came to guide them, leading Yu Li towards the Operations Department prison.

Ma Mingzhe was dragged along by Hong Tao, and the two figures quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After a short while, Hong Tao led Ma Mingzhe forward and finally stopped in front of a conference room with its door tightly closed.

At this moment, Hong Tao leaned forward, slowly approached the door, and then had the scanner on the door scan his retina.

With a soft "beep," the previously closed door slowly opened to both sides.

Upon seeing this, Ma Mingzhe quickly followed him into the conference room.

As soon as he entered the room, his gaze was drawn to the group of people sitting around the conference table.

The first people you see are Director Zhong, Su Qian, and Zheng Zhongshan—familiar faces—but there is also a young woman in a Special Affairs Bureau uniform sitting in the meeting room.

Just then, the conference room door closed automatically.

Then, Director Zhong cleared his throat and said, "Alright, now that everyone attending the meeting has arrived, we can officially begin."

Upon hearing this, Hong Tao quickly led Ma Mingzhe to find seats.

Then, Hong Tao turned to the young woman and introduced her to Ma Mingzhe with a smile: "Come, let me introduce you. This is one of the two elites that Director Zhong specially borrowed from the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau to help out."

"And also a user of Kamen Rider Delta: Comrade Zeng Qixia!"

After listening to Hong Tao's introduction, Ma Mingzhe immediately stood up, a friendly smile on his face, and extended his right hand, saying politely, "Hello, Comrade Zeng Qixia! My name is Ma Mingzhe, and I am the user of Kamen Rider THE BEE. Please take care of me when we carry out missions in the future!"

Zeng Qixia extended her hand to shake his and said with a smile, "Hello, Captain Ma. I'm new here, so it should be me who's taking care of you!"

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

"Alright, you two don't need to be so polite. The meeting still needs to continue, so please take your seats." Director Zhong slowly stood up, smiled, and waved to Ma Mingzhe and Zeng Qixia, gesturing for them to sit down quickly.

After a short while, when everyone had fallen silent and the conference room was quiet again, Director Zhong calmly raised his hand, gently pressed the button, and turned on the huge display screen behind him.

The moment the screen lit up, it immediately captured everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, Director Zhong's face turned serious, his expression becoming extremely solemn. His gaze swept over everyone present with piercing intensity, and he said in a deep voice, "All of you colleagues who are able to sit here today are people who have earned the deep trust of our Special Affairs Bureau."

"The content to be discussed in this meeting is highly confidential, and I hope that everyone present will treat it with a serious and rigorous attitude!"

After saying that, Director Zhong did not hesitate any longer and decisively clicked the mouse to start playing the video on the screen.

As the screen unfolded, what appeared before everyone's eyes was actually a detailed topographical map of an electronics factory in Harbin.

The crisscrossing lines and dense markings in the picture immediately convey the immense effort put in by the intelligence personnel.

After seeing that everyone had exhausted all the information, Director Zhong coughed lightly. The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, but it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

With a solemn expression, he said, "After a thorough and meticulous investigation by our intelligence personnel and insiders, we can now confirm with absolute certainty."

"This seemingly ordinary electronics factory is actually a crucial stronghold of the Orphino group in Harbin!"

After saying that, Director Zhong deftly pulled up a clear photo and pointed to a man in the photo, saying, "This man is called Zhuo Mo. Everyone must remember this face."

"He's no ordinary man; he's the culprit who repeatedly led the Orphnochs to openly confront and challenge our Harbin Special Operations Bureau: Centipede Orphnoch!"

Director Zhong then added, "Furthermore, according to the report from the aerial reconnaissance team, this person has been filmed frequently entering and leaving this electronics factory on more than one occasion."

"All indications suggest that there are definitely more unspeakable secrets hidden inside this factory."

After a brief pause, Director Zhong's face hardened with murderous intent, and he declared loudly and decisively: "Therefore, our ultimate goal in this operation is only one—to wipe out this Orfino criminal gang that is running rampant and committing all sorts of atrocities in Harbin in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive!"

Finally, Director Zhong surveyed the room once more and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Military forces will be coming to assist and support us in this operation."

"But don't worry, they are not aware of the specific details of the action plan. All military actions will be under my command and coordination on-site!"

"Alright everyone, do you have any questions or anything you don't understand about this mission?"
