Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 332 Good News
Shangguan Yan picked up the paper cup and turned to leave. Kirigakure Goro and Shirakawa were both outside. In addition to the people from the three departments, Curry and Jack were also present.

"You all care about Xiao Xia very much." Shangguan Yan chuckled.

"Minister, do you want to send support?" Bai He asked.

"No, after thinking about it, I agree that we should wait and see for now. Sometimes, sacrifices are inevitable.

Taking all factors into consideration, I think it is better to retain the existing combat power.

In the coming period, our three departments may be short of staff, so please work hard for them."

Baihe frowned and fell silent along with Goro.

The minister's words were almost ruthless.

Her inclination was already very clear, she wanted to give up Xia Shou.

As subordinates, they couldn't say anything more. Although Baihe and Goro both thought that Xia Shou, the junior, was very good, after all, the Third Department was still a department established with Shangguan Yan as the core.

If the minister decides to abandon a member, they have no reason to complain.

This was an agreed condition when the agreement was first made, and Xia Shou should have the same condition.

Shangguan Yan patted their arms, bent down to get a glass of water from the water dispenser, and sighed imperceptibly.

Although she still wanted to continue fighting, she really couldn't be tough anymore.

Fang Yulong felt that she was biased towards Xia Shou. Analyzing the current situation of the mission, she really shouldn't take the risk of sending more support.

If she continued to be stubborn in this situation, it would easily give others the impression that she had an unusual interest in Xia Shou. If this impression was not removed in time, it would easily give Xia Shou the wrong impression.

She and the devil have three rules:

[1. All interactions with others must be based on the concept of "transaction".]

[2. Do not allow others to regard your behavior as unrequited help.]

【3. If you have a crush on someone, do not let the other person know of your crush.】

If we allow that impression to develop, we will violate the second and third rules.

Therefore, she must be ruthless and must put profit above all else.

When Shangguan Yan returned to the conference room, everyone else was already in place.

Shangguan Yan has decided to give up supporting Xia Shou and instead strive for other interests so that others will think that her previous tug-of-war was all for the purpose of exchanging her subordinates' lives for political resources.

In addition, if Xia Shou fails, then another ongoing monster subjugation mission is also doomed to fail because the postponed ceremony has not been arranged.

And Xianna will also fail.

What a heavy loss, Shangguan Yan thought to himself.

"boom!"

The door of the conference room was suddenly thrown open, and a liaison officer rushed in excitedly and said, "The stone demon has been solved!"

"what?!"

Several ministers present showed surprised expressions, even Shangguan Yan was slightly surprised.

The Stone Demon is a monster that can only be conquered after a ritual is performed in the past.

If Xia Shou hadn't arranged the steps for the ceremony, defeating the stone demon would have become extremely difficult.

But now, the stone demon has been killed!

This means...

"Is the ritual effective?" Shangguan Yan asked in a restrained manner.

"Yes, it went smoothly. The garrison troops didn't expect it to be so fast!"

This speed is indeed much faster than the original plan, and it proves that some of Xia Shou and his companions have already entered the Beast King's Tomb and arranged the ceremony.

Fang Yulong pondered for a moment and said, "From this perspective, Xia Shou and Lin Rize's situation is not so bad that they are unable to act. Perhaps they are evenly matched."

Li Luo, the head of the First Department, said, "If we select the right people to pick them up, let them escape to the corresponding location, force their way through the Seven Branches Gate, and teleport back to the present, is it feasible?"

Just as everyone was about to start a new round of tactical discussions, the second liaison officer came running over: "Miss Xianna sent a message. I heard that you were discussing matters related to Commissioner Xia. I hope you can answer the call, Director!" "Answer it and put it directly on the projector." Feng Ruohui looked steady.

The next second, the image on the wall flashed, and a slender woman wrapped in bandages appeared in the picture.

She was on a bumpy ride, apparently traveling back to the present day.

"I heard about Xia Shou's matter. I have a special situation to report."

"Please say."

“My team originally planned to launch a crusade against the Three-Colored Demon the day after tomorrow. Before that, we inspected the status of the Three-Colored Demon every day.

But yesterday, the tricolor devil was transformed into a sculpture-like object wrapped in paper."

After saying that, the screen switched and a lifelike sketch appeared in the projection.

Siana's commentary continued:

"There are many unknown characters recorded on these papers, as well as known characters such as English, Chinese, and Latin. They all seem to be poems. In addition, the abnormality of the three-color demon seems to have been completely eliminated, and there is nothing special about these papers."

Shangguan Yan stood up and looked at the sketch carefully, and asked, "You didn't launch an attack, right?"

"Yes, the three-color demon was destroyed just like that, but I don't know if it happened on Xia Shou's side, because besides Xia Shou and I, there was someone else who was responsible for the crusade in another time period, and it might have been from there." Xia Anna said.

Li Luo lifted the veil of her hat and murmured to herself, "An attack that penetrates time is really not simple."

Feng Ruohui: "Thanks, Xiana, this information is very important. Do you have any other discoveries?"

"No, that's all. I'm returning to the Control Bureau now. If there are any new discoveries, I will contact you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Xianna cut off the communication.

Everyone in the conference room was silent.

News came one after another, but something was wrong.

To give an example, it is like the emperor sending a great general to lead 50,000 troops to repel 50,000 enemy troops and rescue the kidnapped prince.

As a result, after the army set out, a battle report suddenly came from the front line saying that the enemy was not 50,000 but one million elite troops.

As a result, the court and the public were shaken, and the civil and military officials were panicked and divided into two factions.

One party proposed to send another 10,000 troops for reinforcement, while the other party said that 10,000 reinforcements were a drop in the bucket and that distant water could not put out a nearby fire. It would be better to simply make drastic measures, gather troops, and station defenses at key passes.

During the discussion, 20,000 defeated soldiers fled back to Kyoto from the front line and reported the fierce fighting situation, the bravery of the general, and the stalemate and pessimism of the situation.

Although no one knew why the general was able to fight a stalemate with a million enemy troops, the court began to debate again.

While the ministers of the two sides were arguing fiercely, urgent news came from the front line eight hundred miles away, saying that although the general failed to repel the million-strong enemy army, he had rescued the prince!
The court and the country were shocked again. The court officials were amazed at the general's talent, but at the same time they were puzzled as to why 30,000 remnants of the army could rescue the prince from a million troops.

But before they could figure out what to do, another urgent message came from 800 miles away! It said that a million enemy troops had been annihilated!

This is more or less the situation in the conference room now.

Just like the emperor and his ministers would never think that it was the general who led 30,000 remnants to annihilate a million enemies.

The people in the Control Bureau would not think that Xia Shou had the ability to cross the timeline and directly kill the three-color demon that only a level five finisher could deal with.

At the door, Kirigakure Goro and Shirakawa were listening to the discussion of several leaders, when suddenly a hand patted Goro's shoulder from behind.

"Why are you all here? Where's the minister? Is he in a meeting?"

"Stop making noise!" Wu Lang waved his hands impatiently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Lang was suddenly stunned, feeling that the voice just now was somewhat familiar.

Xia Shou, who was carrying the package of bone fragments, obediently moved his feet, found a position with a good angle, and looked inside.

He saw the sketch projection on the wall, which was the giant monster he had seen in the underground palace, so he walked into the conference room.

Before Goro could turn around, Xia Shou had already passed by him and walked into the meeting room.

"Minister, if you are studying this thing... I can explain part of it." Xia Shou said.
