Twisted Dreams-Chapter 162 - 134: Cao Yi’s Proposal, the King of Changbai Mountain
Cao Yi said:
"I believe that since the Xia Country is currently experiencing a Spiritual Energy Revival, we must first stabilize the situation in Xia Country.
The fundamental task of stabilizing the overall situation is to prevent Extraordinary crime incidents from occurring."
These words made sense, and some administrators began taking notes, recording the speech of this Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau.
Cao Yi placed both hands on the table, fully adopting the demeanor of a director at a meeting.
He said solemnly:
"I believe there are three points.
First, now that the Spiritual Energy Revival has begun, Extraordinary events will inevitably become commonplace.
We should not speak of the Extraordinary with fear, nor should we treat the Extraordinary as taboo.
We must disseminate knowledge about the Extraordinary.
In the initial phase of disseminating knowledge about the Extraordinary, some sealed videos on the internet should be appropriately released.
Give the public some psychological preparation."
The crowd nodded as they listened.
This suggestion was bold, but also practical.
At the very least, some fools wouldn’t think they were the protagonists of the world, and wouldn’t act so recklessly.
Ordinary people would also have a concept of the Extraordinary, greatly reducing the occurrence of Extraordinary crime incidents.
Cao Yi continued:
"Second, in the mid-stage of disseminating knowledge about the Extraordinary, a nationwide Spiritual Power survey should be conducted in primary and secondary schools.
Students with Spiritual Power should be gathered together and, apart from normal cultural classes, should also have administrators teaching courses on Spiritual Power.
Third, establish dedicated management prisons for the Extraordinary.
Through literary and media forms, provide safety education and disseminate safety management regulations to Extraordinary individuals nationwide.
Extraordinary criminals must receive the same punishment as ordinary criminals!"
Cao Yi’s words exploded like thunder in everyone’s ears!
So bold!
This practically changes a certain state in Xia Country in one breath!
Deputy Director Zheng Qian pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"The first and second points, I can accept.
The third point is absolutely impossible!
The state of the Spiritual Energy Revival is not yet clear, we need talent.
For extraordinary criminals, we should at least give them a chance for redemption."
Cao Yi sneered:
"Are you thinking of giving the Extraordinary a carte blanche for their crimes?
What do we want with criminals among the Extraordinary?"
Zheng Qian snorted coldly:
"Special times call for special measures!"
Seeing the two about to argue again, Elder He stepped in to mediate:
"The first and second points sound good to me, we can start with those.
The third point Xiao Cao mentioned is indeed a later stage of disseminating knowledge about the Extraordinary, which we can discuss in the future."
Elder He looked at Cao Yi with a smile:
"Xiao Cao, your second suggestion cannot be immediately implemented nationwide.
This matter is significant and requires much discussion among the leadership of the public security system, it can’t be decided today.
However, conducting a pilot for the Extraordinary courses can be tried first."
Cao Yi said:
"A pilot might as well be chosen in the South Sea."
The choice of the South Sea was deliberate.
The South Sea is a significantly important city in Xia Country that must not suffer negative impacts from the Spiritual Energy Revival.
Placing the pilot in the South Sea would also shift the focus of the Security Administration towards the South Sea, effectively adding an extra layer of security there.
Elder He sipped his tea, his mind racing.
A moment later, Elder He put down the teacup and said:
"This matter requires collaboration with the comrades in the South Sea’s educational system, I’ll draft a report first."
Elder He was a leading figure in the security system, if he says it’s fine, then it’s practically settled.
It’s just a matter of time.
Cao Yi’s lips showed a barely noticeable smile.
Placing the pilot in the South Sea, this task would undoubtedly be his responsibility.
Once successful, the first achievement would be in his hands.
Elder He looked at Cao Yi:
"Xiao Cao, do you have anything else to add?"
Cao Yi said:
"I’ve looked into some recent extraordinary incidents.
I found that after the Spiritual Energy Revival, especially following the Emperor’s Liquid incident, there have been a lot of beast injury cases near Changbai Mountain."
The administrator responsible for Bai Mountain City stood up and said:
"Beast injury cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau, and the Security Administration hasn’t intervened excessively.
Due to the increase in beast injury cases, I also suspected the emergence of Extraordinary Beasts. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
However, beast attacks noticeably decreased after the spring began.
I speculate that last winter’s heavy snow sealed the mountains of Changbai, and many beasts couldn’t find food, which is why they broke into human residences.
Now that it’s spring, food is abundant in the mountains, so the beasts no longer descend.
Therefore, there’s not much consideration regarding Extraordinary Beasts."
Cao Yi listened to the administrator, his expression growing increasingly grim:
"Changbai Mountain has many beasts, I believe many Extraordinary Beasts have already emerged.
The Security Administration should prepare early, setting up safety monitoring stations in Changbai Mountain."
Deputy Director Zheng Qian frowned and said:
"The emergence of Extraordinary Beasts in Changbai Mountain is within the expectations of the Security Administration.
However, the Security Administration has just been established, and neither its funding nor personnel configuration is perfect yet, and its focus isn’t on beasts.
Recently, beast injury incidents have nearly disappeared, not causing any significant negative impact.
To set up safety monitoring stations just for this, aren’t you overreacting?"
The Security Administration does wish to expand its work into the realm of Extraordinary Beasts.
Whether it’s taming Extraordinary Beasts or using them for experimentation, it benefits the Security Administration.
However, the Security Administration has just been established, funding is tight, and various projects need to proceed slowly.
Currently, the Security Administration prefers to resolve Extraordinary issues before addressing Extraordinary Beasts.
Cao Yi said in a deep voice:
"The recent decrease in beast injury cases is what worries me the most."
Zheng Qian asked:
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Cao Yi glanced around at the administrators present:
"Why did the Extraordinary Beasts of Changbai Mountain suddenly stop attacking humans?"
Everyone present looked at Cao Yi in bewilderment.
Cao Yi sighed:
"Haven’t you thought that among those Extraordinary Beasts, a king has emerged?
That Beast King controls the Extraordinary Beasts, unifying them.
Is this a good or bad thing for the Security Administration, can you predict?"
Everyone shuddered!
This is simply terrifying!
A beast ruling over the other beasts of Changbai Mountain?
Even without the Spiritual Energy Revival, this would be a formidable force!
Furthermore, with the Spiritual Energy Revival now, those are a group of Extraordinary Beasts!
Wei Ming looked at Cao Yi in shock:
"Are you saying that among the Extraordinary Beasts, a Demon King has appeared?!"
Cao Yi nodded:
"That’s a way to interpret it."
Zheng Qian’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he looked at Elder He with determination:
"Director, I agree with Comrade Cao’s statement; we need to investigate Changbai Mountain immediately!"
Elder He looked grave, his old eyes shining with clarity:
"Wei Ming!"
Wei Ming immediately stood up:
"Present!"
Elder He said:
"Lead the Blue Whale Team, proceed to Changbai Mountain immediately, set up safety monitoring stations, and investigate Changbai Mountain!"
Wei Ming solemnly replied:
"Understood!"
......
Imperial Capital, Jin Mansion.
In the living room of a residence.
An aloof and beautiful woman in a leather jacket sat cross-legged on the sofa, glancing sideways at the bald man across from her:
"Aren’t you cold, going shirtless in this frigid weather?"
The bald man had nine dragons tattooed on his upper body, exuding defiance.
He arrogantly looked at the woman, lit a lighter, and the flame danced at his fingertips.
The bald man sneered:
"I’m a man who plays with fire, cold is only for you feeble, common people."
The beautiful woman’s face turned icy:
"Feeble?"
Another man, a plump one, hurried to mediate:
"Oh come now, we’re all Extraordinary here and will be working together, let’s not sour things."
The beautiful woman sneered:
"Working together? It’s just playing house with a little boy."
