Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 594: Branch Crisis
In this meeting, there were people not only from their Jiangbo City branch, but also from other branches.

So did Modise bring him here directly like this because he wanted him to be questioned?

Xia Shou glanced at Modise and began to feel unsure about the other party's attitude towards him.

“But when he doesn’t activate the Scorpion Spine, his level is not higher than LV3, so he can just answer in his normal state.” The man said coldly, still in that commanding tone.

"Yes." Li Luo let go of her hand.

Her hint has ended, and what happens next depends entirely on Xia Shou himself.

Xia Shou slapped his hand on the button without any hesitation: "Glendoyle's manuscript is not in my hands, it is in Su Weiyu's hands."

As soon as the answer was finished, the button praised with a kind, stereotypical mother's voice: "You are such an honest child!"

"There is a reaction, which proves that the effect of the truth button has indeed been activated." Fang Yulong said coldly.

"Oh."

The man called Director Lin nodded, looking as if he understood but didn't care. However, his skeptical expression did relax a lot.

Xia Shou withdrew his hand, his heart beating rapidly.

By answering questions centered around Su Weiyu, all questions and answers can become normal, but not all questions can be related to Su Weiyu.

After all, the answer must be true. If it is false, regardless of whether it is related to Su Weiyu, it will be classified as non-cooperation.

"It's not in your hands... So have you ever gotten the manuscript? Just answer yes or no." The man continued to ask questions.

What a tricky question.

But it is better to tell the truth here, so that the other party can understand it clearly, which will help clear your suspicion.

Xia Shou replied: "No."

[Great! Tell the truth!] The truth button spoke again.

Everyone was stunned. In fact, most people thought that Xia Shou had come into contact with the manuscript, but there was almost no possibility of taking shortcuts with the question just now.

Even Lindy, who asked the question, was stunned for a moment.

"I know there is such a thing as a manuscript, but I have never touched it." Xia Shou took the initiative to explain, and once again made the truth button give that corny compliment.

Of course he had never touched it, because it was Su Weiyu who took it, and the first version he saw was Su Weiyu's translation.

The situation was a little awkward. Lindy seemed reluctant to finish his questioning, but couldn't think of any sharper questions.

Just then, Modise spoke.

"Why keep harping on this manuscript? I don't think negotiating with the Library of Humanity is a good way out.

In recent days, various data have shown that an extraordinary gathering phenomenon is occurring in Jiangbo City, which cannot be caused by human activities.

We will definitely not be able to overcome this crisis by relying on political mediation, because the root cause is not the struggle between extraordinary people. "

Modice spoke impatiently.

At this time, Xia Shou discovered that Director Lin was obviously angry, but he suppressed his anger.

His tolerance for Modise is high.

And Modise didn't care about other people's reactions at all. He took out the remote control and launched a holographic projection above the conference room.

“The first data is the number of anomalies witnessed by ordinary people this week, and the degree of harm caused by discovering anomalies.

It can be seen that the number of witnesses has increased tenfold in the past two days, and many of the anomalies they witnessed were harmless and very minor.

Here, the frequency and realism of hallucinations among the controlled deep divers have increased significantly, and a small number of them have already experienced physical deformities.

There is also a noteworthy anomaly that has just been discovered.

This anomaly has long been on record, numbered [47-111], codenamed [Edson].

A former head of the investigation department of the Edinburgh branch, his information has been placed in front of you.

This anomaly has been active regularly around the world. Apart from spreading various extraordinary intelligence, it poses no significant harm and cannot be contained.

But now, Edson has been appearing in the Control Bureau at a high frequency. Our internal employees have witnessed several cases. I estimate that civilians will also encounter them. By tomorrow at the latest, all kinds of feedback will appear in a unified manner.

Then, add various elements.

The hunting list given by the fortune teller of the Humanity Library, some of the candidates for the deciphered Seven-branch Fragment, have also arrived in this city, and two of them have been captured by surveillance. I believe that there must be more people coming.

In addition to the seven-branch fragment, which is a precious material for ascension, there are other things that can serve as materials for ascension.

Well... except for Xia Shou, everyone else present has enough authority to know. Xia Shou already knew it, so I just told him straight away.

Su Yue, judging from the events of the Blood Mother Cult and the Blood Dynasty, it can be confirmed that this is a very precious sacrifice for the ascension of the Blood God faith.

Then, there is Jin Fenglong's human body.

It is like a large number of ascension elements are now gathered in this city at once. If there is a suitable person who can grasp it, it is not impossible to gather all the elements in this chaos and directly be promoted to a famous position.

This is undoubtedly a gathering of extraordinary people, and there is an agent behind it pushing for this gathering. The evidence is that Jin Fenglong appeared because of Chi Shuweng.

Hmm? What do you want to say? "

Modise saw Xia Shou raised his hand.

“I met Edson, too.”

Modis' eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh! You are an acquaintance of Edson. Did you meet him? Did he recognize you?"

Xia Shou nodded, then explained his encounter with Edson and most of the content of their conversation.

He especially emphasized Yi Lei's whereabouts.

But Xia Shou didn't say anything about the umbilical cord and the book. He was afraid that Scorpion Spine was really related to the fake Blood God.

After this new case came out, the people present started a new round of discussion. Xia Shou listened for a while, and found that they were all about management and administrative measures, and there was nothing he cared about.

Modis came to him at some point and patted his thigh: "Follow me."

Xia Shou subconsciously looked at Li Luo.

Li Luo nodded: "If everything is fine, you can go."

After leaving the office, Modis glanced at Xia Shou and explained, "We called you in to see how other branches treat you. We knew it would turn out like this."

"So Minister Li Luo is cooperating with you?" Xia Shou asked in surprise.

Modise nodded in agreement.

"Let's go talk somewhere else."

When we arrived at the leisure area of ​​the museum, the number of people around us suddenly decreased a lot. Modice picked a stone bench and sat down, saying:

“The person who asked you the question just now was Lin Di, the deputy director of Dongchuan. He was sent by the Scepter Council to assist us, but in name only it is assistance, in reality it is an investigation.

Do you know why? "

"what is the reason?"

Modis raised his hand and pointed at Xia Shou.

"I?"

“It’s you, but it’s not quite you.

I just found out that keeping your personal information confidential is basically against the rules!

The decision to keep your information confidential was made arbitrarily by Shangguan Yan and the director.

The director refused to provide the council with your real information, so now this place will soon be jointly managed with Dongchuan. The director can't come back, and when Dongchuan's finishers and employees come in, Jiangbo Branch will no longer be the original Jiangbo Branch. "

"Where's the deputy director?"

"He disappeared at the perfect time, as if he had made an appointment with the director." Modise laughed, as if he really found the matter funny.

"It's already this late, why don't you wait until the current situation is dealt with first?"

Xia Shou was a little annoyed, but he also knew that he had no right to be annoyed.

Because he was the cause.

But why do the higher-ups care so much about his real information?
Even if he had a few outstanding performances, it didn't count for much in the Control Bureau, right? There were so many awesome people, why were they focusing on a small character like him?
