The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Six hours later, the plane landed on the tarmac of a military district in the capital.

Liang Shaokun from the General Administration was ordered to come to the airport to pick up the passengers.

When they got off the plane, Xiao Yi pushed a large pile of luggage into Liang Shaokun's car.

Liang Shaokun pulled Xiao Yi aside and asked, "What? You guys went on vacation?"

Xiao Yi smacked his lips. "Boss, you should ask the boss."

Liang Shaokun immediately shut up.

Di Liuyue pulled Gu Yuebai along and introduced her to Liang Shaokun: "Gu Yuebai, let's get acquainted. From now on, we'll be colleagues and comrades-in-arms."

"Hello, Liang Shaokun."

"Gu Yuebai".

The group traveled by car to the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto.

It was an artificial mountain. From the outside, only a section of dark gray curtain wall embedded in the mountain rock was visible, as if it were a perfect part of the mountain. If it weren't for the fact that Di Liuyue and the others had a vehicle with a special pass that triggered the hidden magnetic field, they wouldn't even be able to see the entrance.

As Di Liuyue and the others entered the mountain, the entrance was a 20-meter-wide alloy gate. The logo of the Special Abilities Bureau (ESP) was embedded in the lintel. The silver shield-shaped pattern gleamed coldly in the dim light, and the edges of the logo were engraved with barely perceptible energy runes to resist the impact of supernatural abilities.

After the gate is opened, there is a tunnel 100 meters long. The walls on both sides of the tunnel are made of a special anti-gravity alloy, which can absorb and neutralize the surrounding energy fluctuations and prevent leakage.

After passing through the tunnel, the view suddenly opened up. The headquarters building is a two-hundred-meter-high hexagonal tower, covered entirely with a matte black protective coating. During the day, the coating reflects the color of the sky, blending into the clouds; at night, the entire building disappears into darkness, leaving only the red warning lights on the top floor.

Each side of the tower has three staggered observation decks. The glass of the observation decks can automatically adjust its transparency, allowing people inside to overlook the city while preventing outsiders from peeping in.

The ground floor of the main building extends outwards to six wings, which are distributed radially and correspond to the six major functional departments: intelligence analysis, supernatural ability control, personnel training, equipment research and development, medical assistance, and emergency command.

The roof of the wing is made of sloping solar panels, and an energy harvesting network is laid under the panels to absorb the alien particles floating in the air and power the entire building.

The main entrance of the building is a ten-meter-high double copper door, engraved with swirling patterns. These are not traditional dragons and phoenixes, but abstract energy flow patterns that echo the lines on the signage.

Upon entering the main entrance, the lobby is fifty meters high, with a chandelier made of supernatural crystal hanging from the ceiling. The crystal changes color according to the energy fluctuations within the building, appearing pale blue when calm and turning fiery red when attacked.

In the center of the lobby stands a three-meter-high obsidian monument inscribed with ten large gold characters: "Uphold the conventional order, govern the realm of supernatural abilities," highlighting the mission of the General Administration.

The top floor of the tower houses the central command center of the General Administration, surrounded by 360-degree circular screens that can monitor supernatural phenomena across the country in real time.

The command center's floor is a huge holographic projection panel that can project a map of the distribution of superpowers across the country. Behind the central command console hangs an enlarged version of the Superpowers Bureau's logo, which exudes an unassailable sense of authority under the lights.

After witnessing all of this, Gu Yuebai gained a deeper understanding of the National Bureau of Supernatural Abilities.

His previous understanding of the word "superpower" was too superficial.

Di Liuyue said proudly, "How about it? You've seen it for yourself, haven't you? You don't regret it now, do you?"

Gu Yuebai straightened his chest and patted it: "For the sake of my country and the world, I'm willing to go through fire and water!"

Di Liuyue rolled her eyes.

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to our bureau chief." At the same time, she said to Xiao Yi and the others, "Take Li Gui away and hand him over to the Special Interrogation Division for interrogation, and then transfer him to the Trial Committee for conviction."

"Yes." Xiao Yi and the other two saluted, then turned and left with Li Gui in tow.

Di Liuyue led Gu Yuebai to the top floor, where they met the director of the National Supernatural Abilities Bureau in an office in the command center.

"Chief, Dragon Group Captain Di Liuyue has completed her mission. Please provide further instructions."

A robust man, eight feet tall, slowly turned around.

Gu Yuebai observed that the man appeared to be around forty or fifty years old. While his appearance wasn't particularly fierce, he possessed an aura of composure and strength. He was tall and broad-shouldered, and always wore a dark black standard trench coat made of a specially formulated protective material for those with supernatural abilities. The collar was always buttoned up meticulously, and a miniature version of the General Administration's logo was embedded on the left chest of the trench coat, understated yet eye-catching.

His hair was a neat buzz cut, with a few barely noticeable strands of white at his temples, traces of energy erosion left from handling high-risk supernatural events in his early years.

His facial features are strong, his eyebrows and eyes are deep, and his gaze is always calm and still, like a deep pool concealing thunder. Whether facing an out-of-control superhuman or dealing with questioning from higher-ups, he rarely shows his emotions. A pair of thin-rimmed glasses sits on his nose, the lenses made of a special anti-mental interference material. The occasional gesture of raising his hand to adjust the frames carries a calmness born of long experience.

On his left wrist he wore an old-fashioned mechanical watch with the words "Order" engraved on the back of the dial, a motto from the early days of the General Bureau; on the right hand, there was a shallow scar on the web of his hand, a memento from his first mission to lead a sealing operation.

"Gu Yuebai?" The resolute man extended his hand. "My name is Ling Zhi, Director of the National Bureau of Supernatural Abilities. You can call me Director Ling."

Gu Yuebai extended her hand and shook hands with him: "Director Ling, hello."

"I have witnessed your performance in Cloud City. It was our oversight that we did not pay attention to your awakening of your superpower in time. Now, I invite you to officially join the National Superpower Administration."

"Serving the country is my greatest pleasure." Gu Yuebai said with a sincere expression, then added, "However, I don't need to be so reserved. If I had to go to work every day, like in the military, and be on duty every day, I couldn't stand it."

Gu Yuebai stated her position.

Ling Zhi smiled faintly, "It seems you don't know enough about our country's Supernatural Abilities Bureau. How about this, let Di Liuyue first introduce our functions and responsibilities to you, test your supernatural ability level, and then we can discuss things in detail, how about that?"

"all right."

"Alright. Liuyue, take him to get tested first, and then bring him to see me after the test."

"Yes." Di Liuyue bowed.

The two walked out of the office, and Di Liuyue whispered, "Actually, as members of the National Supernatural Abilities Bureau, we don't need to be on duty at the bureau. We have a lot of freedom. If there are any unusual situations, headquarters will contact us, and we just need to go on missions as ordered."

"That's more like it." Gu Yuebai nodded.

Di Liuyue led Gu Yuebai through a maze of twists and turns until they arrived at the Superpower Level Testing Center.
