I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

“You’ve thought it through?” Ji Gaochuan looked at his deputy in surprise.

Ren Qingxue said:

“It's just that the situation has changed. Since you insist on taking action against the children of the Sea God, I spent some time investigating, and my conclusion is that they are not a threat in the short term.”

Ji Gaochuan didn't think this was entirely a good thing.

Originally, after listening to Ren Qingxue's words, he had already wavered a bit. His outward firmness was just to use her unwillingness to make enemies with the children of the ocean to extract more information.

The Southern Federation was quite unfamiliar territory for them. The Investigation Department's operations in the Eastern and Western Federations had been generally smooth, and the Northern Federation only had some minor problems.

But in the Southern Federation, they were practically groping in the dark.

This was also the reason he was sent to the Southern Federation. The difference compared to the other regions was quite significant. The positions of the heads of the Investigation Department offices in other places were particularly good jobs, and although there were considerable opportunities here, they were far from comparable to the hidden risks.

Therefore, intelligence was the most important thing to him, and Ren Qingxue, who had been placed by his side, was not as repulsive in Ji Gaochuan's eyes as he said, because she was actually the starting point for him to understand the true situation of the Southern Federation.

But if the children of the ocean were not as dangerous as she had said not long ago, then the plan to eliminate the Han family could be reactivated, but he was still worried whether Ren Qingxue had betrayed him.

“Very good.” Ji Gaochuan said with a cold expression, “It's good that you understand.”

Ren Qingxue didn't show any resistance to this, but instead took the initiative to say:

“By the way, do you remember Maen, who came with Han Ming to participate in the test?

“He may be a member of the Salvation Alliance, and the kind whose identity I didn't know. Some time ago, he bought Witte Castle, and I followed several members of the Salvation Alliance there.

“At that time, I secretly noticed that the vengeful spirits in Witte Castle were connected to the members of the Salvation Alliance.”

Ji Gaochuan frowned slightly:

“Do you have any evidence?

“If we can confirm that the children of the ocean are colluding with members of the Salvation Alliance, that will be very beneficial to us.”

Ren Qingxue shook her head:

“Members of the Salvation Alliance are not so easily exposed, and the children of the ocean can also say that they are not aware of this. Even if we want to deal with the Han family, we can't immediately reveal our intentions.

“But now he and the children of the ocean are gathered together, and we can just kill him first to weaken the power in Han's hands, and the children of the ocean won't immediately become suspicious.

“After all, we have a legitimate reason.”

Pursuing the Salvation Alliance was an unquestionable reason.

Ji Gaochuan showed a thoughtful expression.

The importance of the Salvation Alliance in his heart was far less than that of the Han family. Although they were a group of dangerous outlaws, the Han family's impact on the wealth gap in Gewen Prefecture was real and the solution was obvious at a glance.

As long as the Han family, who monopolized the economic lifeline and controlled the main illegal forces, was destroyed, the Investigation Bureau and the federal government of Gewen Prefecture could join forces to change the current situation.

If he could solve the problem of Gewen Prefecture's backwardness and chaos, it would also be of great benefit to the Reformist faction he belonged to—because this was what the Reformist faction had promised in the election.

And the members of the Salvation Alliance were a problem for the other two parties. Dealing with them would not bring any political achievements to Ji Gaochuan, and he was not interested in it.

But he still said:

“If you insist on dealing with Maen first, I agree, but you have to help me deal with the Han family.”

Ren Qingxue smiled and nodded:

“Of course.”

She was not in a hurry to mention the issue of the ownership of Witte Castle.

Ji Gaochuan said to her:

“Come with me.”

They entered the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor below ground. This floor was not allowed to be entered except by authorized employees, and even Ren Qingxue had to say hello to Ji Gaochuan in advance if she wanted to come.

The elevator door opened, and cold air rushed towards them.

Outside the door were five seven-meter-tall culture chambers, with various liquids flowing into the chambers along the tubes, maintaining the life activities and special powers of the sleepers.

Ren Qingxue could see inside through the glass, and she saw five identical male faces.

“These are the Empaths.” Ji Gaochuan said calmly, “The genes in their bodies can simulate the abilities of telepaths, and these clones, cultivated using the same genome, can also amplify the power of their brothers.

“If all five of them act at the same time, they are almost equivalent to a powerful Tier III telepath. Even if one or two Empaths die, they can maintain a relatively strong level of telepathy, and even if only two are left, they are equivalent to ordinary telepaths.

“But if they die to the point where only one is left, he will be backlashed to a very weak level.”

Ren Qingxue asked:

“I heard their lifespan is very short.”

Ji Gaochuan nodded:

“We estimate that this batch of Empaths can live for a year, and that's on the premise that they live in the culture chamber for a long time. If we let them act outside all the time now, they will die due to genetic defects in about three months.

“But this is not the worst part.

“Their short lifespan also means that they have no way to receive enough training time. Their tactical experience and knowledge are injected in advance through telepathic abilities, and they also have no basic common sense, and they have not practiced tactics.

“This means that they need the protection of other ability users in actual combat, which is one of the reasons for deciding on a team of four.

“And you and I will take them to perform the ritual, which is a prerequisite for dealing with the Han family.”

Ren Qingxue asked in confusion:

“Do you mean that these clones are actually just born, and the knowledge in their brains is all injected by you in advance?”

Ji Gaochuan nodded silently.

“The federal government is really a bunch of lunatics.” Ren Qingxue couldn't help but say, “Then how do you let them carry out these potentially deadly missions? Don't these Empaths want to have freedom?”

“No.” Ji Gaochuan replied, “There is a mind restriction device in their brains that can offset the fear of death, as well as the desire for freedom or anything else. This allows them to focus on the mission.

“But due to the special mental structure of the Empaths, even with a mind restriction device, there will be some small problems, so we can't let these guys stay outside for too long, which may cause them…

“Unstable.

“Once an uncontrollable situation occurs, the mind restriction device will kill them.”

Ren Qingxue shook her head:

“You guys will really do anything to deal with Qin Luan.”

Ji Gaochuan suddenly said:

“It's worth it, she is a threat to the entire federation.”

Ji Gaochuan looked at the culture chamber, which still had the function of suppressing thoughts and emotions, and didn't try to explain anything to Ren Qingxue.

Because he couldn't convince himself.
