Odd Containment Specialist

Just then, the door to the office behind him opened.

Xia Shou turned to look at the door and saw Deputy Director Dongchuan named Lin Di standing at the door. Standing behind him was a woman, a strange-looking woman.

The other person's skin is like a smooth white candle, the color of his lips is like a morning rose, and the color of his pupils is transparent emerald green, shining like gems.

Her hair is golden and as bright as the sun.

The moment he saw this person, Xia Shou had goosebumps all over his body, almost thinking that he was an abnormality or a hallucination caused by a true delusion.

The colors of every part of this woman's body are extremely bright. If taken alone, they are pleasing to the eye, but when put together, they can trigger the uncanny valley effect in humans.

The colors of the various parts of her body are not the colors that a normal human being should have at all. Instead, they look like an abstract color painting improvised by some crazy avant-garde artist.

If you want white skin, then make it extremely white.

For lips to be red, they must be redder than blood.

The golden hair should have a texture like gold, without biological characteristics, and the emerald-like pupils should be inlaid with gemstones.

When all the features were put together, they looked nothing like a human being. Even Ke Hen's face, which was square and square and carved with knives and axes, was closer to a human being than hers.

"Linda Perlos...why are you here?" Shangguanyan stood up from the office chair and looked at the other person with a smile. The momentary surprise when they first met was well hidden.

"Long time no see, Shangguanyan, I'm just accompanying Deputy Director Lin here to do something." The strange-looking woman said.

Lin Di glanced at Xia Shou quickly and looked at Shangguanyan coldly: "Minister Shangguan, according to the control regulations, please obey the control now."

After saying that, Lindy took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shangguan Yan.

Shangguanyan took the paper and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Of course, but before that, can I say a few words? I have important information to report to the organization." Shangguanyan said.

"No, please don't say a word from now on. I don't have the authority to hear any information from you. If you have something to say, I can convey it to the parliament on your behalf, and the parliament will send someone to talk to you face to face." Lindy added.

This is getting troublesome, Shangguanyan thought.

Although as long as she revealed that information, she would be confident that the Control Bureau would allow her and the Director to continue to operate in their original positions, but the problem was that the Control Bureau's current judgment on her was that she was highly likely to betray.

If she forced the information to be revealed now, it might not be easily accepted, and it would take a lot of time for high-level officials to collect evidence, so she didn't have much time.

We must take back the initiative. Do we want to do something hard?

Shangguanyan thought quickly.

She doesn't want to be an enemy of the Control Bureau at all. She has never had such an idea, and she also knows that there is no chance of winning. But now, by threatening Deputy Director Dongchuan, she may be able to speed up the negotiation process with the parliament.

Using coercion to promote cooperation may be a bit violent, but it must be an efficient method.

But...the other party brought Linda Perlos.

There are very few known Level 6 finishers in the Bureau of Control who possess fields and act as a deterrent like a nuclear warhead.

Shangguanyan could almost imagine that once she had the idea of ​​taking action.

The next second should be a battle in the field.

They were in the control bureau, and Linda would definitely try to avoid casualties and damage to equipment and equipment. It was the best decision to launch the field as soon as the war started.

But which field will have the upper hand, Shangguanyan is not sure. The Control Bureau thinks that she will not, or cannot, raise her abnormality level to level seven.

She was not sure whether she would win in the end.

Moreover, the Council of Wands knew that she was a semi-anonymous person, but they still only sent Linda.

This shows that the council thinks Linda can deal with her.

Maybe it's a ritual, or a curse, or the blessing of some forbidden objects.

In short, you cannot treat the other person as an ordinary sixth-level transcendent.

Now, once she chooses to refuse to cooperate, it will be tantamount to betraying the Control Bureau. At this critical moment, she chooses a lose-lose approach and cannot be regarded as one of her own in any case.

The Control Bureau knew this, so it sent Linda here to test her loyalty.

This is a conspiracy, and it is indeed impossible for Shangguanyan to go to war with the other party. Apart from concealing some of her own information, she has no conflict of interest with the Control Bureau at all.

In this situation, winning means losing.

"Minister Shangguan, please cooperate." Lindy said coldly.

"I have important information about the human body." Shangguan Yan said.

"Save it for later, do as I say now, and please stop talking. This is the first warning." Lindy announced seriously, and then took out a special style of handcuffs.

Shangguan Yan recognized the handcuffs she had made not long ago. The raw material was bone powder that Xia Shou scraped from the bones of the Beast King's tomb during the Blood Dynasty era, and was mixed with other precious materials to make it.

Because it directly uses the same raw materials as the beast cage, it has an unparalleled effect in the sealing function. Although it will not completely make her lose her combat effectiveness, once she wears it, she will completely lose the option of resistance.

Damn it, do you want to do it?

There is no need, there is no need to fight with the Control Bureau, they are not enemies!

But she was running out of time, and Sheephead's grace period was already tight. Shang Guanyan's understanding of the parliament meant that once the review began, she might not be allowed to move freely until the Jin Fenglong incident was over.

Although the misunderstanding will definitely be cleared up in the end, if this opportunity is gone, it is really gone. This is her only chance to make Xia Shou an exception to the contract taboo.

Xia Shou stood by and watched the scene nervously.

This situation seems to be quite serious. Is the minister going to be arrested?

Didn't she say that there was a way to prevent herself from being fired? But now she herself is being controlled! Does what she said just now still count?

Xia Shou was very skeptical, but so far, all the things Shangguan Yan promised him have been fulfilled. No matter how dissatisfied he is with this devilish boss, he has to admit that she has extremely perverted control over various extreme situations.

So much so that Xia Shou now has an illusion that when Shangguan Yan is about to be arrested, he still thinks that this may also be part of the minister's plan.

"Minister..."

Xia Shou was about to ask aloud, but the sight of the strange woman behind Lin Di forced him to shut up.

The strong sense of oppression emanating from the other party was simply chilling. It was not some illusory pressure, but a kind of power that had enveloped him, but he could not perceive it.

Xia Shou's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at the other party with fear.

What level of finisher is this woman?

Level five? Or the rumored level six?

Or... is she an abnormal body?

Xia Shou thought quickly for a while and decided not to say anything. There was no need to communicate immediately. When the time comes, he will find Su Weiyu to test this woman. If she is a human, everything will be easy.

"It seems that there is no choice." Shangguan Yan suddenly said, with a smile on her face. She put her wrists together and extended them forward, as if she wanted to cooperate with Lin Di to put on bone cuffs for herself.

Lin Di was stunned when he saw this, and walked over with the handcuffs.

Although he didn't say anything, Xia Shou could feel that the other party was obviously relieved.

In the office, the suffocating atmosphere seemed to have cracked at this moment.

Just like a paper room with no oxygen suddenly torn open, fresh air rushed in from outside, and suddenly breathing became smooth.

Even Xia Shou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And just when the pale bone cuffs were about to be put on, a very thin line suddenly appeared in the air behind Shangguan Yan, and a purple mist as light as gauze seeped out from it.

So, in an instant, the relaxed atmosphere just turned into a fatal illusion, Xia Shou had tinnitus, and the flow of time in the outside world seemed to slow down.

His own movements, the movements of other people in the outside world, all slowed down.

It was like his reaction speed suddenly increased several times, and he was able to carefully observe the changes in everyone's facial expressions from this extremely slow bullet time.

He saw that Linda Pelos's hands hanging on both sides of her thighs tended to rise, and the lavender crack behind Shangguan Yan seemed to be changing.

Something was about to happen, Xia Shou was sure that something bad was going to happen!

"Director Lin, wait a minute." However, the door outside the department suddenly opened, and a relaxed voice came from outside.

Lindy frowned and turned to look at the door.

At the moment this voice appeared, the suffocating atmosphere in the office stopped changing, as if someone pressed the pause button of the movie, stopping the gunpowder that had just exploded in the picture at the moment when the light and heat first burst out.

Linda and Shangguan Yan, the two were like western cowboys in a duel, with their revolvers against each other's foreheads and the triggers half pulled, but an unknown referee suddenly called a stop, so that the two cowboys stopped the half-finished finger bending action at the same time.

Xia Shou's eyes were also attracted by the voice.

This voice... a little familiar, where did he hear it!

I remember, it was the Lighthouse of Fear!

"Finally back, ten years ago."

A man wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat made of long, slender blue-green gems walked into the office of the third department.

S-level investigator, Edward! !

The blond middle-aged man with blue eyes had a smile on his lips. There were still some unshaved stubbles on his chin and lips, which distinguished him from the photo taken ten years ago.

"Edward?!"

Lindy, who had been expressionless, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the man who suddenly appeared in disbelief.

That look was as if he was not seeing a living person, but a ghost who had come back from the dead!

Although Edward's life lamp had been on in the Control Bureau, ten years had passed and no one thought he would come back, especially after the demise of the Blood Demon House.

"Director Lin, don't be anxious, Minister Shangguan, don't be anxious either. You guys are making me very scared." Edward walked between the people and handed a new document to Lindy.

Lindy took the document with surprise and confusion. He opened it and saw that it was the appointment letter of the Scepter Council, which stated that from today, Shangguan Yan would be promoted to deputy director of the Jiangbo City Branch and the previous disciplinary arrangement against Shangguan Yan would be withdrawn.

Fake?

Lindy thought the appointment letter was forged at first glance, but the seal with pink flames burning on it was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

The warm pink flame brand, which burns for years and does not spread, is the special anti-counterfeiting mark of the Scepter Council. It is extremely difficult to forge, so the documents of the Scepter Council are also known as plum-colored documents.

Moreover, even if someone can forge a similar pink flame seal with supernatural powers, the Control Bureau still has a second verification measure.

Lindy took out his own document and brought the seals on the two documents close together. The flames of the two seals attracted each other and intertwined, and the abnormal properties were exactly the same.

There was no mistake.

The seal was real.

"I understand." Lindy sighed.

Although there were still doubts in his heart, Lindy gladly accepted the arrangement of his superiors.

The Scepter Council would not make mistakes, and he did not want to be an opponent of the witch.

He took back the handcuffs and stretched out his hand to Shangguan Yan: "Director Shangguan, let's work together to overcome the difficulties in the future."

Shangguan Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Edward in confusion. He took the appointment letter and quickly scanned it before he understood what happened.

The Scepter Council not only appointed her as the temporary deputy director, but also divided all the people in his department into her task force, and did not write down the treatment of Xia Shou.

Can this be seen as the council tacitly agreeing that she would not report Xia Shou's personal information?

Shangguan Yan looked at Edward meaningfully, then cast his eyes on Lindy and shook hands with him.

"That's great." Linda Perros breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Yan turned around: "Xia, do your own thing first. I'll talk to you about work arrangements after I finish these things on hand."

"Got it." Xia Shou replied easily, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As expected of the minister, he was really scared just now.

Looking at this development, he should not be fired.

But Edward...

Xia Shou was a little confused.

In the Ghost Story Hotel, the forgotten butcher Lu Sha was wearing Edward's raincoat.

And now that the raincoat is back on Edward, it is hard not to let people imagine.

But at that time, the butcher clearly wanted to kill them all.

As if sensing Xia Shou's sight, Edward also stared at him and smiled at Xia Shou:

"See you again, I know you must have a lot to say to me. If you are not busy, we can talk now."

He said we met again...

In the Lighthouse of Fear, although Xia Shou also saw Edward, it was an illusion he had.

Edward said that they would meet again. Could he be referring to the time at the Ghost Story Hotel?

Could that butcher really be him?

"Then let's find a place?" Xia Shou asked for his opinion.

Edward nodded readily: "It's almost time for dinner. How about we go to the restaurant and talk while eating? I haven't had a staff meal in the bureau for ten years."
