Chapter 438 Late-Night Secret Talk
The headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was brightly lit even though it was late at night. Agents in special operations uniforms came and went in a hurry, each with a calm expression on their face, as if they had long been accustomed to this mode of work.
Like most jobs, even agents of the Bureau of Magical Investigations, who deal with supernatural powers every day, can become somewhat numb after working for several months.
In gaming terms, it should be called the "grass growing period".
Once things that are difficult for ordinary people to access become commonplace, the agents have long since lost their initial excitement. At this point, even if they encounter some strange and troublesome situations, they will handle them at lightning speed according to procedures and casually say, "You're making a fuss over nothing."
However, the level of secrecy among agents varies, and only more confidential matters can excite them.
Meanwhile, in the highest-level office of the Demon Surveillance Bureau headquarters, Director Shangguan Su was dealing with what could be considered the most confidential matter at present, but her mood could not be described as excited.
"—Thank you for your hard work. Could you tell me more about the Rakshasa? I'm quite interested in those special beasts."
In front of the computer screen, Shangguan Su held a cup of coffee, gently turning the spoon, filling the whole room with its aroma.
On the screen, Qiu Yun, wearing a bathrobe, had her wet hair clinging to her face, giving her a beautiful, ethereal appearance.
Unfortunately, no one appreciated this scene. Qiu Yun pushed up his glasses and said softly.
"It's not hard work, it's my duty. Besides, the situation is much better now. When I was on this mission, we didn't have such good treatment or so much manpower and resources."
She paused for a moment, then continued.
"That beast appeared suddenly. It was an individual not recorded in the department's archives. It seemed to be an experimental product, and it was very strong, probably with A-level combat power. It injured a green-level enemy. By the time I arrived, it had already been killed by the magical girls who arrived later."
"I have sent you the details, including photos of the scene, some detective records, and the forensic investigation."
"Grade A—" Shangguan Su frowned slightly.
While most alien beasts are strong, their overall combat power isn't particularly outrageous; at most, they're around the level of officers, only larger and more destructive.
But Level A—that's already at the level of a senior cadre, and the destructive power is probably only higher, not lower.
"What did you mean when you said that this strange beast might be a product of experimentation?"
"The alien beasts themselves are biological weapons created by heretics to absorb more negative energy. Sir Skeleton has already demonstrated how malleable these unknown creations are—"
Qiu Yun raised his head slightly and said calmly, "So I think, if Sir Skeleton can create a beast that is not afraid of sunlight through his experiments on the Flower Fairy, then it is not impossible for Rakshasa to create an even stranger being."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Su's gaze sharpened. "You suspect that Rakshasa has found a new secret realm?"
But Qiu Yun on the other side of the screen gently shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Luo Sha lost half his life in the last battle. He won't come back so quickly. Besides, I've been keeping an eye on him."
"Who could it be?" Shangguan Su frowned, quickly going through the bureau's files in her mind.
Then, a name popped into her mind.
"Could it be—an angel?"
Shangguan Su's voice trembled slightly. This wasn't the first time she had said this name, and she was well aware of how much trouble it would cause.
The name first came to be known during the fall of the Crown City and the downfall of Sir Skull.
At that time, because the main battlefield of the Weeping Angel was overseas, most people were unaware of his existence. However, after the Skeleton King's power was divided, everyone discovered that the gaps previously occupied by the Skeleton King had all fallen under the Weeping Angel's control.
What troubled Shangguan the most was that the Magic Bureau and the magical girl squads in various cities were unable to achieve any effective results in their battle against the Weeping Angel.
Even after eliminating several of the enemy's captain-level subordinates, they still couldn't obtain any information related to the Weeping Angel.
Rather than saying they successfully prevented the intrusion, it would be more accurate to say they eliminated several baits that the other side had deliberately thrown out.
Therefore, although the Demon Surveillance Bureau is currently mainly targeting Rakshasa on the surface, the plan to target the Weeping Angel is still in progress, but without much success.
Qiu Yun, one of the deputy directors of the Demon Supervision Bureau, understood what Shangguan Su was thinking.
She knew very well how much of a threat this weeping angel posed; in some ways, he was even more dangerous than Sir Skeleton and Rakshasa.
But Qiu Yun still shook his head slightly. "It is possible. After all, judging from the current development, the Weeping Angel is using Rakshasa as a weapon. All the threats are carried out by Rakshasa, while the Weeping Angel has been hiding behind the scenes. However, I don't think he has found a new secret realm."
"Why?" Shangguan Su turned her face slightly and asked.
Qiu Yun raised his chin and said softly, "You were in charge of the previous communication with the Flower Fairy Queen. You should understand better than me how difficult it is to form a secret realm. It is the legacy of the gods in ancient times."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Su was taken aback at first, but then she understood Qiu Yun's meaning and her expression darkened slightly.
Indeed, according to the information provided by the Flower Fairy Clan, the origin of the secret realm is basically the divine realm of the ancient gods.
The problem is that the gods have long since fallen, and the gods who have lost their power have begun to fall one after another, making it impossible for them to have survived to this day.
The fact that the Crowned City has been preserved to this day is entirely due to good luck.
The Tree of Life first risked its life to relocate its roots to another continent, and then used its divine power to create a small space that was no less than the realm of gods. Most importantly, this secret realm was able to continue into the modern era entirely because the Tree of Life died slowly.
The Tree of Life is special because this ancient being, even more ancient than Shens, retains some wondrous abilities. Otherwise, no other god could accomplish such a feat, not even one with authority.
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Su still had some concerns. "Is it really impossible? The Weeping Angels have been operating overseas before; perhaps there are secret realms in other countries that we are unaware of."
Qiu Yun simply smiled and shook her head. "If it were before, I really wouldn't know, but now, I can tell you it's 100% impossible."
"Don't forget, the Flower Fairies now live in the Mirror World, which used to be the territory of the greedy. Even if you haven't seen them, you should have heard about the power those guys wielded."
"You mean—" Shangguan Su's eyes flickered.
"They can travel thousands of miles in an instant, control everything, and any place with a reflection is their eye."
Qiu Yun crossed her arms and continued speaking.
"Unless the Flower Fairy Clan deliberately concealed it from us, there is no way any secret realm could escape their eyes. Besides—didn't their previous actions against the surface world already prove their capabilities?"
"————" Shangguan Su nodded slightly. "What you say makes sense."
"If you're really worried, why don't you ask that magical girl foreigner who came to visit?" Qiu Yun suggested. "I remember there was a strange energy reaction in the waters off Great Britain before, which seemed to be related to the Shadow Clan."
"Okay, I understand." Shangguan Su rubbed her temples.
Actually, even without Qiu Yun's reminder, Shangguan Su was already prepared to do this.
To be honest, she was quite curious about this foreign magical girl.
Different countries and different environments produce magical girls that are completely different. According to the information collected by the intelligence department (mainly Lao Chang), the other party seems to come from a family with a long history, and is a magical girl with a hereditary nature. This alone is enough to prove that she is different from others.
And once the topic shifted to the foreign magical girl, the two tacitly stopped talking about the new secret realm.
Because they all understood one thing: if there really were still secret realms in this world, it could only mean that not all the ancient gods had perished, and that there were still beings in this world that survived, like the Tree of Life.
Unbeknownst to them, just as they were communicating, Tang Zijun's face flashed across the silver spoon.
