Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 751 - 173: The Little Secret Within the Special Service Bureau

Just like the Astronomy Bureau and the Secretary Bureau, which seem to exist only in textbooks and cannot be found on any map, the Special Service Bureau’s Containment Department is also a "non-existent" division.

The last time Bai Shanshan broke out of prison, she nearly blew up half of the Special Service Bureau headquarters. When Li Mumu revisited this place, she found that it seemed to have no signs of being remodeled at all and still retained the primitive state she remembered.

It’s unclear whether the Special Service Bureau has mastered that kind of mysterious magic to restore things to their original state as seen in magical creatures movies by the Federation wizards.

The Containment Department is an independent dimensional fragment, once you enter you can’t get out again. Unless you have a formally registered work permit from the Special Service Bureau and also apply for access permissions proactively.

Otherwise, you can only exploit a BUG.

For example, standing with one foot inside the door and the other outside.

Li Mumu opened her eyes, picked up her head and attached it to her neck, and pushed open the iron door of Cell No. 303, looking around.

The atmosphere here was as oppressive and gloomy as ever, with not the slightest flow of nature’s spiritual energy, only suitable for the dead to meditate in seclusion, not for the living to reside.

Occasionally, a Soul Stealer (not really)... a Fluttering Moth would come out to nibble on people.

Bai Shanshan may have run away, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other ancient monsters inside.

Xia Yubing returned here as if she were coming home, already peacefully asleep.

Shen Qingxi was still lying at the door of the cell, mumbling meaningless whispers like a zombie.

Hearing the sound of the prison door opening, she suddenly became spirited.

"Reddy! Thank goodness you... wait, this door can be opened?"

Li Mumu ignored Eldest Miss Shen, who suddenly discovered a new world and began to struggle with the door, and turned to walk towards the entrance.

The food she brought in and herself were placed on the stairs at the entrance.

Bug exploit success!

Using her physical body to block the entry and exit point, then her soul separated from the body, transferring consciousness to her shroud and head prepared in advance, and using her Ghost Path cultivation to condense a soul entity.

Li Mumu did not pride herself.

After all, she was a gamer who specialized in researching game BUGs before she transgressed.

As the saying goes, as long as the mind doesn’t slip, there are always more methods than difficulties.

"Here, I brought you something to eat."

"Is this breakfast? Do you know how long I have waited?"

Shen Qingxi, biting into her burger with tears streaming down her face, said, "I want to file a complaint about this inhumane mistreatment! If I’ve committed a crime, let the law punish me, you can’t lock me up in this hellish place and torture me!"

"The flow of time here is different from the outside world."

Li Mumu blandly fooled her with a straight face.

"And it’s not ’us’, I’m not the one who caught you. There are specific persons responsible for grievances and debts, I’m kindly bringing you food, don’t take it for granted."

"Reddy, you are an undercover agent for the Special Service Bureau, aren’t you?"

Shen Qingxi muttered softly, "Otherwise, how could you freely come and go in this cursed place? I’ve checked, there is no exit at all!"

"That’s because you lack experience, look at Amber and me, we are prepared."

Li Mumu comforted kindly, "It’s okay, once bitten twice shy, you’ll have the experience next time."

"Who would want a next time!"

Shen Qingxi loudly retorted, "Also, please directly answer my question! Are you an undercover agent or not!"

"What if I were an undercover agent? What could you do about it?"

"Give me a chance, chief! I want to be a good person! I have lots of intelligence to divulge... Aren’t you guys even going to interrogate me?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Right now, the higher-ups are in a mess; no one has time to care about you."

Li Mumu counted off on her fingers as she explained, "Seeing as you don’t seem to know anything, let me educate you. Tianmen City’s three mysterious departments: the Astronomy Bureau, the Secretary Bureau, and the Special Service Bureau, you know about them, right?"

"I know."

"You’ve already had a taste of the Special Service Bureau’s prison food."

"I’ve only just had a bit!"

"Don’t interrupt, do you know what the other two bureaus do?"

"I don’t know..."

"The Astronomy Bureau is specifically in charge of studying the impact of the Temporal Tide’s fluctuations on the Real World, which includes all the records of our usual travels through the Outer Dimension."

"And the Secretary Bureau primarily handles the collection and organization of supernatural events and intelligence information. For example, our identities are all on their surveillance list. Our every move is under their watch."

Li Mumu didn’t know these cold facts herself, they were explained to her by Shen Xishi during surgery.

The surgery process was very lengthy and didn’t require constant, undivided attention. Sometimes distractions are necessary to relieve fatigue.

In order for Li Mumu to learn quickly, Shen Xishi educated her on many basic pieces of knowledge inside the Special Service Bureau during the surgery.

In this day and age, it’s hard to find doctors who can perform surgery, let alone those who aren’t afraid of contamination.

Therefore, he had high hopes for Li Mumu.

"So they actually know everything? Then why don’t they solve problems before they arise?"

Shen Qingxi only appeared to be rash, but she was actually very intelligent and immediately understood the implication behind Li Mumu’s words.

"You know about Game Theory?"

"Do I know it... or do I not?"

"For example, it’s like me buying you breakfast. If I ask you what you want and you say anything, I suggest pancakes and you say no to pancakes. I offer to get soy milk and Youtiao, and you say you don’t want soy milk and Youtiao. When asked, you say anything is fine, but when it’s bought, you don’t eat it, which complicates things."

"So, that’s your reason for buying breakfast as a late-night snack?"

"That’s why from the start, I wouldn’t ask for your opinion. Whatever I buy, you eat, take it or leave it."

Li Mumu spread her hands and said, "The Special Service Bureau faces the same kind of problems. They not only have to deal with current enemies but also potential adversaries from the past or the future. Take, for instance, Mountain Leader Kong, who if unable to defeat you head-on doesn’t confront you directly, but targets your weaknesses instead."

"Let’s say someone from ten years in the future travels back to this era and knows the identity of the Special Service Bureau’s mid-level officers; they would design specific schemes against them. If we change personnel here, the opponent would also switch to different schemes. This leads to a vicious cycle of ’I predict your prediction of my prediction’, continuously increasing the workload and pressure on the Special Service Bureau."

"So what you mean to say is, the stuff the Special Service Bureau openly displays is just bait for fishing?"

"You’re not wrong to think that, but I prefer to call it a strategy of not firing the first shot and then gaining the upper hand."

Li Mumu, with a serious face, looked at Shen Qingxi who was eating ravenously and said, "Getting back to the initial question, you asked me if I am an undercover agent, that’s laughable. The Longevity Sect only has so many members, what’s there to go undercover for. On the other hand, Eldest Miss Shen, the moment you returned, you made a hefty investment to acquire the Longevity Sect, and then under that name, you started all sorts of endeavors. Don’t you think you are more suspicious of being an undercover than I am?"
