Why it never ends

Chapter 1185 Recognition
Kende's hands tapped lightly on the table.

She was originally wondering whether the person who actually attended the meeting this afternoon would be Office 2 or Office 7. If it was Offices 2 to 6, usually, as it was now, a person in charge with no specific identity would appear to meet with them.

Only the special teams formed by Office 7 will draw mercury needles from all over the country to jointly promote the project. In the past, Kendai has responded to Office 7's call many times and participated in some complex tasks involving habitable areas as a consultant or investigator.

Therefore, if the communication is with Office 7, there is usually more than one person present in the projection direction.

Kende seemed to be thinking about something - in the past two years, the headquarters seemed to have rarely used the Special Operations Bureau to do things.

"Long time no see, Ms. Hesta. This should be our first official meeting since the Tan Yi assassination case in District 2," the person in charge said with a little electric noise. "You seem to have recovered well. Office is happy for you."

Hesta stared at the square waterfall of light in front of her silently without responding. In the past, she usually communicated with Office 2 through emails and messages, and occasionally voice calls. She rarely felt that the other end of the radio wave was a clerk or leader familiar to her, because Office 2 never issued documents or orders with a specific signature, and their voices were also the same. Many years ago, Hesta secretly suspected whether this meant that there was a staff member in Office who was specifically responsible for connecting with her. Later, she slowly realized that it only meant that their voices had been processed uniformly.

"You are also in high spirits, Ms. Kende, thank you for being willing to attend today's meeting."

Kendai nodded slightly and smiled, "My duty."

"Please explain this to me," Hesta said softly, "Our meeting today is to discuss the reopening of the reserve training base in Emmanlia, District 12. Why is Ms. Kende here too?"

"After discussion, Office No. 2 has decided to reopen the currently sealed Emanlia Reserve Base, put the previous reserve training area, teaching area, office area and part of the medical experiment area into use, and hand it over to the current District Inspector—"

Kende interrupted Office 2, her expression extremely serious: "Whose decision is this—"

"Please be patient, both of you." The red light began to flash. "Today we have something very important to discuss with you. I will answer your questions one by one later, but before that, please listen carefully."

Hesta and Kende adjusted their breathing at the same time. Their backs leaned back at the same time, and they stared at the light curtain in front of them in a similar posture.

"Headquarters has paid close attention to the changes Hesta has stirred up in District 12 over the past six months. We believe that Hesta's various attempts are radical and valuable behavioral samples. At the same time, such attempts are timely and necessary.

"In the past, AHgAs has always been committed to avoiding direct involvement in livable areas and not entering into deep cooperation with any party or local forces, because our purpose is to overcome chelation disease and protect the public from disease and harm from chelates—"

"But that approach is too passive?" Hesta took the initiative to take over the conversation. "In other words, this time the headquarters approved the reserve base for me not only to provide me with on-site support, but also to fully recognize all my current actions, huh?"

"That's right. We are very happy to see that it is happening in a bottom-up manner." The light curtain said, "But the reserve base in District 12 is different from other places. We will strictly control the open and restricted areas. You must also emphasize the relevant rules within your community and strictly enforce them." Hesta was about to ask a question, but before he opened his mouth, his eyes silently swept in the direction of Kende - the old man's expression did not change.

——The reserve base in District 12 is different from other places. Kendai seems to be very aware of this?

Office 2 emphasized some of the precautions in this regard, but never explained what the difference was. Obviously, both Office 2 and Kende assumed that she knew the news. Hesta thought about it secretly and decided to ask Office 2 again after the meeting or in two days.

"In addition, Victoria's team needs to be transferred to complete other tasks in the near future—"

"That won't work." Hesta answered firmly, "I'm in desperate need of manpower right now. Recently, another noble in District 12 received a death notice from an assassin. I haven't had time to tell you about this yet--"

"Victoria has already reported the death-warning photograph of the Duchess of Brown," the voice replied.

"...Really?" Hesta was a little surprised, "She has... synchronized with you?"

"Yes, no matter how the assassin intends to repeat his atrocities in Tanyi this time, Victoria and the others must give priority to another more urgent task." The voice said, "In fact, from the day our team - both the reserve and regular combat forces withdrew from District 12, we no longer have the obligation to protect the citizens here. If it is not related to the previous case, you can put the assassin's case aside for now and use your energy to do something else."

Hestag was a little surprised. She knew that the incident back then had sparked a lot of discussion, and one of the speculations was the most popular and closest to the truth - the assassin was Mercury Needle, but he was not caught.

Considering AHgAs' strict control style over individuals, they will never let go of any "exception" who circumvents the strict internal system and does whatever he wants outside based on his personal likes and dislikes.

"...What mission is their team going to carry out?" Kendai asked in a low voice, "You need me to participate in this meeting, and also to synchronize this information with me, right?"

"Yes," the voice said, "We will launch an annihilation operation against Deep Anchor in District 12 for a period of three weeks. During these three weeks, please continue to maintain normal work order at your posts and try not to let the local forces in the habitable area interfere with our internal operations."

"It should have been done a long time ago. If I didn't have so many things on hand right now, I should have been assigned this task... But can I ask a question?" Hesta's voice was as calm as ever. "Why now? What's the explanation?"

The bright red light curtain remained silent for a moment.

"The Mercury Needle in District 1 will announce next month that they will follow the example of District 14 and officially leave the jurisdiction of AHgAs next New Year."
