Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 585 Disagreement in the Control Bureau

Xia Shou sat on the chair, looking at Shangguan Yan who was thinking with his eyes closed, and waited patiently for his answer.

"Minister, do you think it's possible for him to visit his mother?"

"Well... this application is complicated."

Shangguan Yan pondered for a long time before answering the question he had just asked.

"I knew about Lin Tiandong's application earlier than you did. The two directors of Departments One and Four also knew about it. Fang Yulong had already discussed this matter with us. This is not just a private matter of Department Two."

After saying that, Shangguan Yan began to explain in detail the aspects involved in the whole matter and the possible impacts it might cause.

"Lin Tiandong's mother, Lu Na, is still alive, but she can be identified as an abnormal body. As bait, her abnormality level is level six, and she has a fatal attraction to all aquatic life.

Since you have met Lin Tiandong, you should have also seen the changes in Lin Tiandong's body. His body has shown amphibious characteristics, and it is difficult to say whether he is an aquatic animal based on classification.

Everyone in the Analysis Department felt that he would lose control if he saw his mother, which was one of the reasons why he was denied a visit. "

"Isn't remote video possible? We don't have to have close contact." Xia Shou said.

“No normal person would be able to bear to see their loved ones become like that. As an excellent finisher, Lin Tiandong’s tolerance for bloody and horrific scenes is naturally excellent, but in this case, it is another matter.

People are afraid of human-like things, the uncanny valley effect, you know?

The uncanny valley effect produced by Lu Na, who turned into bait, is dynamic. She has completely lost her human form, but she still maintains a relatively normal mind in most of the time. This has a huge mental impact on those who are close to her.

There was once a very famous anime. In order to obtain a national honorary title, an alchemist stuffed his daughter's soul into a dog's body, allowing the dog to learn to speak and call the protagonist "big brother".

Likewise, few people can handle the mental stress of having a bucket of bait called their 'son'.

This kind of powerlessness, the despair and guilt of watching loved ones continue to suffer can easily break down a person's psychological defenses, but in our world, everything is possible.

The Blood God controls the reproduction, change, and death of life. If a fisherman can turn his wife into a bucket of conscious bait, there must be some way to turn the bait back into a human being.

Do you think that after seeing that scene, Lin Tiandong will accept this cruel reality and let his mother remain in the status quo, or will he help his mother to get rid of it?
I think the most likely scenario is that he will completely turn to the faith of the Blood God.

Humans are powerless. Only by giving up their group identity and rising as individuals can they embrace infinite possibilities. This is a fact that even the control bureau cannot deny. "

After listening to this, Xia Shou suddenly felt that he shouldn't let Lin Tiandong see what his mother looked like.

Indeed, the risk is too great. Just by putting himself in his shoes, Xia Shou feels that he would also choose the Blood God, not to mention that Lin Tiandong's feelings for his mother are real.

"But if he is not allowed to visit, he will really betray me, right?"

Xia Shou felt that Lin Tiandong was that kind of person. From his attitude towards those personal belongings, it could be seen how much he valued the relationships between people.

"That's why it's troublesome. Although we can lock him up now, it doesn't make sense. It's no different from destroying him directly." Shangguan Yan drank half a cup of coffee, poured another cup from the pot, and then said:

"There is a special team in the research department now that is reviewing all the data and documents. The current plan is to hold Lin Tiandong back for a while while the research department helps him find a method that is as safe as possible to restore his mother.

Our idea is simple. Since he is destined to turn to the faith of the Blood God, instead of letting him go crazy and try hysterically, it is better to help him find a way to continue to contribute to the Control Bureau.

Ah... I'm not saying this in a cold-blooded way. This is actually to extend his life as a human being so that he can at least have a decent ending.

In the process of exploring solutions, it would be best if Lin Tiandong could grow and let go of his worries.

If it doesn’t work, at least they won’t become a threat to society and become targets of execution by the Control Bureau.”

Xia Shou nodded and sighed deeply.

He once again realized how rare the Control Bureau was to this extraordinary world. Lin Tiandong was now like a patient with advanced cancer, and only in the Control Bureau could he receive such conservative treatment.

"Just tell him that the application has been completed, but it will take a few weeks to go through the process because his mother's mental condition is very bad and she is not suitable to see people." Shangguan Yan said.

"understood."

Xia Shou nodded and was about to turn around and leave when Shangguan Yan called him back.

"Tomorrow it will be your turn to talk to Jin Fenglong. Also, be careful when you go out recently, as this city has become unstable.

Jin Fenglong's appearance was too sudden, the news had leaked out, and he was an ordinary person.

Such a named human body, like Tang Monk's flesh, everyone wants to take a bite.

It is quite absurd that Jin Fenglong, as a named human-god, is the best material for ascension in the human-god system, but most of those who want to snatch him are from other beliefs.

The believers of the Human God, on the contrary, all want to protect Jin Fenglong. After all, those who believe in the Human God care about the overall interests of mankind."

Xia Shou squinted at the other person and said, "Can't you hide it?"

"Space teleportation and bodyguards have been arranged, but the Control Bureau is not invincible, and the Scepter Council is divided into several factions. The director came back yesterday and said that the transaction faction and the execution faction each account for 45% of the people, and the death protection faction only accounts for 10%." Shangguan Yan smiled with a hint of ridicule.

"What does trading mean?"

"There are so many anomalies that the Bureau is unable to contain them all.

For example, in a zombie city, human lives must be piled up to control the anomalies so that they do not threaten the secular society.

The cost of controlling these abnormal phenomena is quite high.

Some very influential organizations sent people to talk to us, saying that they could assist the Control Bureau in suppressing and containing some anomalies.

According to the General Administration's calculations, if the deal goes through, the Bureau's annual casualties will be reduced by 30%, and the number of innocent ordinary people affected will be reduced by several million, and a large number of banned items and front-line finishers will be freed up.

Whether it's money, people, or social influence, it's all very good.

The risks of preventing a naming ceremony outweigh the benefits of getting it right away.

So a group of people think that it is a good deal to hand over Jin Fenglong's human body.

The execution faction, however, felt that the Control Bureau could not withstand this chaos, and handing it over would easily lead to a secondary robbery, triggering social unrest in the secular world and affecting ordinary people.

It would be better to publicly execute Jin Fenglong, then use a ritual to open up the Root Sea and perform ultra-deep disposal.

This approach is actually very safe. Although there is a possibility that someone will enter the Root Sea to retrieve the remains, deep divers account for a very small proportion among the extraordinary people. With so few people working alone, the probability of retrieving human remains in the depths of the Root Sea is infinitely close to zero.

The abnormality of a named human body will fade over time, so no one will look for it.

As for the 10% who are determined to protect their rights...

They felt that Jin Fenglong's human body had some important mission to accomplish, which was crucial to the future of mankind, and they needed to wait for him to awaken.

Before that, the Control Bureau must protect Jin Fenglong at all costs.

Anyway...it's pretty confusing up there too.

What we have to do now is to protect him before the final order comes out."
