The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 84 The Cleansing Plan (Final)

Dai Yu was very clever and grasped the deeper meaning in Director He's words almost instantly.

His eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "Director He! Are you saying that the attack on the Shanghai Special Operations Bureau was not an accident?"

"But there are other people involved behind the scenes, even..." Dai Yu suddenly stopped speaking, raised her arm, and pointed a finger straight at the ceiling above her head.

Seeing Dai Yu's action, Director He did not respond, but simply nodded slightly, the movement so subtle as to be almost imperceptible.

Seeing this, Dai Yu was extremely anxious and quickly said loudly, "Then what are we still dawdling here for!"

"We should immediately report the situation to headquarters in the capital with Director Zhong! Otherwise, the situation will only get worse until it becomes unmanageable." Before he finished speaking, Dai Yu impatiently stepped forward and reached out to pull Director He away.

At that very moment, Director He suddenly reached out and pressed down hard on Dai Yu's shoulder, his expression grave and serious as he shouted, "Alright, calm down! Do you really think this can be kept secret from the headquarters in the capital?"

"Originally, I didn't intend to reveal these inside details to you, but your elder brother repeatedly instructed me to tell you. Don't you understand the reason for this now?!"

Upon hearing that it was her older brother who had specifically instructed her, Dai Yu was startled and her thoughts raced.

That's for sure! If his own elder brother already knows about this, then without a doubt, the one at headquarters in the capital must also be well aware of it.

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of powerlessness, as if all his strength had been drained away. He could only slump back into his seat and remain silent.

At this moment, Director He, who had been observing Dai Yu, slowly spoke up: "Are you wondering why the headquarters in the capital city, despite knowing about this matter, has not taken any action for so long?"

"They even adopted a laissez-faire, indifferent attitude?" After saying that, he fixed his gaze on Dai Yu.

Upon hearing this, Dai Yu slightly raised her head, but remained silent, staring intently at Director He with eyes filled with doubt and resentment.

Seeing this, Director He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hehe, you lad, you're just like Qin Xiao when he was young, both of you are just as stubborn!" As he spoke, he shook his head, his face full of nostalgic reminiscence.

“Since your brother entrusted you to me with such trust, I certainly can’t just stand by and watch you follow in Qin Xiao’s footsteps!” Director He continued before Dai Yu could even react, his words barely audible.

"You must clearly recognize that the Ming Dynasty has existed for nearly five hundred years since its founding."

"Over the course of five hundred years, countless sharp contradictions have gradually accumulated and settled within the Ming Dynasty."

"These intricate contradictions are like powerful time bombs, quietly buried deep in the corners that are difficult for every Ming citizen to detect."

"They are like sleeping behemoths, lying in wait, ready to be triggered and explode at any moment!"

"So, does that mean that person wants to take advantage of the threat posed by the Orphnochs and the Worm Zerg?"

"So that we can preemptively ignite and detonate this deadly bomb that could explode at any time?" After fully receiving and digesting what Director He had just said, Dai Yu blurted out the question without hesitation.

"Absolutely right! I must say, you are truly gifted. With just a little guidance from me, you were able to grasp the profound meaning in an instant."

"Originally, that person planned to wait until a more appropriate and suitable opportunity was found before taking further action."

"However, things can change unexpectedly. Who could have predicted that we would encounter such a sudden emergency as the Orphnochs and the Worms?"

"However, since such a golden opportunity is before us, we should naturally seize the moment and take advantage of this favorable wind to thoroughly clean up the long-accumulated filth and dust inside!" Director He replied solemnly and clearly.

However, Dai Yumei frowned and said worriedly, "But isn't doing this too risky and radical?"

"What if the explosion is too powerful? Wouldn't it destroy everything, good and bad? That would be a huge loss!"

Upon hearing Dai Yu's concerns, Director He nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

He then replied in a calm tone, "It is precisely because this possibility was taken into account that he had already meticulously arranged everything."

Those responsible for detonating the "bomb" underwent rigorous screening, and contingency plans were in place.

"We just need to follow the established plan step by step, and we don't need to worry about other things."

After hearing this explanation, Dai Yu suddenly understood, and most of her doubts disappeared.

He said directly, "Now I understand completely. Thank you very much, Director He, for your patient explanation and guidance today."

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer and will take my leave now."

After saying that, Dai Yu felt that she had received a massive amount of information in just one day, and her brain was almost bursting at the seams. She desperately needed to find a quiet place to calm down and think things through.

Under Director He's expectant gaze, Dai Yu slowly walked out of the director's office, gently closed the door, and her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

……

After Dai Yu turned and left, Director He slowly walked to the window.

I gazed silently at the brightly lit city outside the window and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

The night sky is dotted with stars, which, together with the lights on the ground, create a beautiful and picturesque scene.

However, at this moment, Director He had no leisure to appreciate the beautiful scenery whatsoever.

After a while, Director He looked away and turned to walk towards his desk.

He then bent down slightly, pulled out a cell phone from under the table, and looked hesitant.

Finally, after some internal struggle, he pressed the call button.

As the phone vibrated slightly, time seemed to slow down.

Finally, after a long few seconds, the call was answered.

However, strangely, the other party did not speak immediately, and the entire call fell into an eerie silence.

But Director He showed no dissatisfaction and said directly, "Zhuo Mo is no longer in Haishi; he is now in Harbin." After saying this, he waited quietly for the other party's response.

Several more seconds passed, but there was still no response from the other end of the phone.

Director He frowned slightly and continued, "Tomorrow afternoon, someone will come to find you. At that time, you just need to follow the instructions and you will be able to get to Harbin."

Just as Director He thought the other party was about to hang up, he hurriedly added, "Be careful! Come back anytime if you want to."

The person on the other end of the phone was visibly taken aback by Director He's sudden words of concern.

After a moment of silence, a low and brief reply came: "Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself too!" Immediately afterward, a busy signal came through.
