Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 786 - 33 Details on this Operation

The mutual traversing of individuals between two parallel worlds isn’t a huge issue, nor is it a small one.

If you look at it from a minor perspective, the number of people who die every year from various natural disasters and man-made calamities is not less than this; whether it rains more or less, both can potentially cause tragic devastations, turning the land into a desolate state.

In some countries where human rights are not a priority, this isn’t even considered an issue.

But if we examine the largeness of the matter, looking at the long-term perspective, the problem is actually very serious. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Let’s say for instance, your entire extended family, tens of individuals, are all genuine Descendants of Yanhuang. Then one day, your niece brings home a student from Ethiopia, telling you he’s the father of the child she’s carrying.

You think it doesn’t matter since she’s not your own daughter.

Some time passes and your daughter marries off to Mozambique, your son brings home a pretty girl from Congo...

There’s an expression called ’changing the birds but not the cage’.

This way of changing will lead to big problems.

And so, the newly appointed leader of the Special Service Bureau decides to nip the danger in the bud, mobilizing various forces to snuff out this risky ember, to prevent it from becoming a forest blaze.

This operation is codenamed "Homecoming".

The first step of the operation plan is to use the entire city’s manpower to find all transmigrators and place them under centralized management.

The second step is to send them back to their respective worlds, and then to retrieve our own people.

The third step is to sever the connection between the two parallel worlds.

It sounds simple, just like putting an elephant into a refrigerator, with no technical difficulties.

Indeed, it is not as dangerous or arduous as past missions; based on the intelligence gathered so far, all the transmigrators seem to be ordinary civilians, lacking any combat ability, thereby negating the need for weapons.

It’s a stark contrast to the tense and exciting "ten consecutive draws" events.

Well... alright then, if the leader says so, as long as the leader is happy.

"If you have any issues, raise them now; we’ll try our best to resolve what we can."

Xiang Biao taps the table repeatedly, urging.

Any issues?

Too many to count, I damn well don’t even know where to start asking!

Wang Yunxiao looks at Chen Yuguang, still buried in his research next to him, and can’t help but sigh internally.

The difficulty of this mission lies in the fact that you can’t explain these problems to the average person.

A team that has been losing for more than a decade suddenly wins a match, and fans are howling with excitement; would they believe you if you told them it was because the opponent was terrible?

A stock market that’s been bearish for years suddenly picks up; when newcomers swarm in, would they believe you if you told them it’s a trap?

Your wife, whom you’ve lived with all your life, suddenly isn’t your wife anymore; could he understand if you talked about parallel worlds and Temporal Tides?

Go play with eggs!

"I have a question!"

Someone stands up to ask: "Excuse me, Mr. Xiang, is the disturbance caused by the Temporal Tide limited to Tianmen City, or does it encompass the entire country, or even the whole world?"

"I’ll answer that question."

Lianluo takes the microphone and counters directly: "Have you heard of cancer?"

"..."

"It’s normal if you haven’t because cancer isn’t something people in our era need to worry about. Given the average lifespan in our country, ninety-nine percent of people will likely never contract cancer before they die."

"Rabbits only need to worry if there’s enough grass to eat; wolves are the ones who have to worry about whether there’s enough for the rabbits to eat."

"Temporal Tides’ disturbances will have a notable impact on modern cities like Tianmen City that represent the development of human civilization and social progress. As for the inland regions and the isolated remote villages, the impact is almost negligible."

"We’re the beachhead, the breakwater, the frontline. Only by withstanding the roiling of the tides here can the waves stirred up by the Temporal Tides be prevented from submerging the land."

"Of course, from a scientific standpoint, all issues can be boiled down to epistemology. I don’t know if you’ve studied an ancient text called Taoyuan Record. There’s a line in there that says, ’Asking what era it is today, yet not knowing of Han, regardless of Wei or Jin.’

"Once cognition becomes fixed, one can develop resistance to the effects of Temporal Tides, which is also the fundamental logic behind the establishment of the Cultivation System of the Twelve Laws. So, to return to your initial question—"

"People of Ming deal with Ming Country’s problems; Tianmen People deal with Tianmen’s problems; modern people deal with today’s problems. As long as we hold the front, the inland can be protected to the greatest extent. As for how other countries handle Temporal Tides, that’s beyond our purview and concern."

"..."

As that person sits down, another stands up.

"Hello, Chief Lian, my question is, how do we identify and distinguish those who have crossed over and those who have crossed back? Is there a specific and clear standard for judgment? Do we need to conduct a large-scale census throughout the city?"

Lianluo shakes her head and says, "You don’t have to worry about that aspect. This time we’re operating jointly with the Astronomy Bureau and the Secretary Bureau. In addition to the confidentiality agreements and reports in your document packs, there’s also a cipher book. After the meeting concludes, the Special Service Bureau will distribute a set of specialized equipment to you for communication and identity verification."

"The entire Tianmen City will be divided into one hundred and eight blocks, and the list of transmigrators in each region will be sent to you in real-time through the specialized equipment. For the common folks who are unaware of the truth, we should avoid using force to escalate conflicts as much as possible. The unified public message is to assist in the investigation of major cases. All transmigrators are to be sent to the Art Institute in the West City District for centralized management."

"Once we’ve thoroughly investigated everyone’s identities, we can proceed with the repatriation."

"..."

"Do none of you have any questions?"

Han Bin turns his head towards several people sitting beside him, then stands up and raises his hand: "Leader, I have a question! Can we confirm what the other world line that we’ve made contact with looks like? Do they also have a Special Service Bureau? Could there be a conflict with the arrangements on our side?"

The subtext is essentially—Is there a possibility of a conflict?

Lianluo hands the microphone to Liu Zhihan, who says coldly, "You need not worry about that. According to the observational data from the Astronomy Bureau, not even a new government has emerged on the other world line. Our country suffered an invasion by foreign powers hundreds of years ago, which usurped the rightful rule, restricted intellectual freedom, and we remain in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society to this day."

"The Astronomy Bureau has not detected any traces of extraordinary powers. In other words, the opponents we face this time are not Demons or Evil Spirits, nor should we worry about the intervention of foreign extraordinary forces."

"They are bona fide mortals, and it’s highly probable that they don’t even have a concept of Temporal Tides."
