Twisted Dreams-Chapter 342 - 411: Non-Disclosure Agreement
Cao Yi sighed in relief when he saw the situation.
He wanted to kill the Xie Qilin, but considering his own identity, he couldn’t personally kill an Xie Qilin useful to the Security Administration.
Zhang Xiaoyi sighed.
He wanted more than anything to kill the Xie Qilin.
This villain, who opposed the Zhang Family and Shu Mountain, had put Zhang Qian in life-threatening danger several times and slaughtered so many innocent disciples of Shu Mountain.
However, due to his identity as the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, he couldn’t act.
If he acted at this time, it would be like personally swatting a bug and bringing disgrace to Shu Mountain.
Letting Wei Ming kill the Xie Qilin was great.
Ye Fan relaxed, his expression no longer conflicted.
He also wanted to kill the Xie Qilin, but due to his reverence for martial ethics, he couldn’t bring himself to kill the already insane Xie Qilin.
Ye Fan suddenly realized something.
As a child, he often watched martial arts movies and scoffed at those righteous people who were sanctimonious, seeing them as a group of hypocrites.
Isn’t he now a hypocrite himself?
Cao Yi feigned anger, point at Wei Ming and scolding furiously:
"Wei Ming! What are you doing! Didn’t I tell you to detain the Xie Qilin and wait for the Security Administration’s judgment?"
Wei Ming stubbornly glared at Cao Yi:
"I can’t be an Administrator anyway, so I’ll accept any punishment!"
As he spoke, Wei Ming pulled the Demon Sword out from the Xie Qilin.
"Ugh......" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
The Xie Qilin staggered and fell heavily to the ground.
At this moment, the body of the Xie Qilin returned to normal, becoming an ordinary person again.
His complexion grew increasingly pale, and wrinkles spread across his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Xie Qilin, who had exhausted his lifespan, was already an elderly man with gray hair.
Cao Yi symbolically showed a sense of urgency and shouted:
"Hurry, save him!"
Several medical staff from the Security Administration quickly ran towards the Xie Qilin’s side.
Some were using instruments to check him, while red glows emerged from others’ hands.
In the combination of modern technology and Extraordinary power, they performed emergency rescue for several minutes.
"Report to the director, the Xie Qilin’s injuries are too severe to be treated!"
"Report to the director, the Xie Qilin’s brain has already died."
"Report to the director, the Xie Qilin’s bodily functions are rapidly deteriorating."
The medical team reported.
Cao Yi nodded and said:
"Escort Wei Ming to a special prison!
Bring the Xie Qilin back to the Security Administration, to the research department."
The research department is the most grim and terrifying department of the Security Administration.
The tortures in the prison seem like child’s play compared to those in the research department.
The brain-dead Xie Qilin will be placed in a container, with his internal organs connected to various nutrient tubes to ensure the survival of his organs for the researchers’ experiments.
Though the Xie Qilin is dead, the secrets of the Xie Qilin must be uncovered.
Compared to the living Xie Qilin, the dead one cannot speak, making it much more difficult to discover the secret behind the Xie Qilin’s sudden increase in strength.
However, that is the task of the research department.
"Dismissed."
Cao Yi ordered.
......
In the Imperial Capital, at the Security Administration, a safety meeting was underway.
This was Cao Yi’s first time presiding over a safety meeting.
He was not like Elder He; he not only had the support of the He Family, but also the Zhang Family and Liu Family.
Additionally, Cao Yi didn’t have the office enemies like Zheng Qian had.
Therefore, being the director for Cao Yi was much more comfortable than for He Jingguo.
Cao Yi was originally the director of the Public Security Bureau, and his demeanor and style in the meeting quickly led to him being labeled as ’competent’.
The big screen was playing the video of the Xie Qilin breaking out of prison.
After being repaired by the technical department, everyone could clearly hear the Xie Qilin’s words about the Demon Puzzle.
An elderly Administrator said in a deep voice:
"The Xie Qilin knows how to consume souls, which is why he can combine four types of Talents.
Combining four types of Talents is equivalent to assembling the entire Demon Puzzle.
This is why the Xie Qilin has such powerful strength.
However, the way this power is obtained is too evil, completely incompatible with contemporary values.
I suggest permanently sealing this video and destroying the Xie Qilin’s remains.
This secret should never see the light of day again."
Consuming souls, gaining power, assembling the puzzle, all of this is purely the behavior of an Evil Demon.
We know that the Security Administration’s control over the Extraordinary is not yet as effective as it should be, like how the Public Security Bureau in the 1980s didn’t even have DNA testing or Celestial Eye systems.
The Security Administration is afraid that the ’Demon Puzzle’ news might be known to the ill-intentioned Extraordinaries outside.
What if those people start pondering how to consume souls and assemble the Demon Puzzle? That would be a disaster for the Extraordinary World!
The words of the elderly Administrator won the approval of most people.
Cao Yi looked at everyone, and apart from those who didn’t express an opinion, everyone else raised their hand in agreement.
Cao Yi said:
"Alright, Ziyi, bring out the documents."
A lovely young woman in a black uniform took out a stack of documents from the desk.
Her name was Zhou Ziyi, and she had been Cao Yi’s secretary since he arrived at the Security Administration, and after becoming the director of the Security Administration, she was promoted to director’s secretary as well.
Zhou Ziyi distributed the documents to each of the attending Administrators of the Security Administration.
The header of each document was written in red font:
"Confidentiality Agreement."
Cao Yi said:
"Since we want to keep this secret sealed, I ask everyone to sign the confidentiality agreement.
If the ’Demon Puzzle’ secret is disclosed to the outside world, we will follow the regulations and conduct a strict investigation."
Everyone looked up at Cao Yi in surprise.
It turned out that this director had originally intended to cover up this secret, having even prepared the confidentiality agreement.
The crowd picked up pens and signed their names on the confidentiality agreements.
After Zhou Ziyi collected the documents, the meeting moved toward its conclusion.
Eventually, after discussing some issues regarding the construction of the new Security Administration headquarters at Beidang Mountain, the meeting concluded.
"Daoist Zhang, Ye Fan, please stay."
Cao Yi called out to the departing Zhang Xiaoyi and Ye Fan.
Once everyone had left, only Cao Yi, Zhang Xiaoyi, and Ye Fan remained in the conference room.
Cao Yi said:
"What do the two of you think about the Demon Puzzle?"
Zhang Xiaoyi raised his eyes, rubbed his drowsy eyes, and said:
"What needs to be done, hasn’t Director Cao already decided?"
Cao Yi sighed:
"That was what I said to them, but I actually want to study the Demon Puzzle thoroughly."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes:
"The evil Dharma Gate of the Xie Qilin, Director Cao is interested in it?
Does Director Cao want to become the second Xie Qilin?"
Ye Fan was someone very straightforward, unyieldingly honest, saying whatever he wanted.
Currently, Cao Yi’s status in Ye Fan’s heart was far less than that of the deceased Elder He.
Facing Ye Fan’s rude questioning, Cao Yi didn’t show displeasure and said:
"Resolving abnormal events and exploring Extraordinary Civilization is the responsibility of the Security Administration.
I will not avoid exploring it due to the evil nature of the Xie Qilin’s Dharma Gate.
If we shy away from facing evil powers and try to protect ourselves, how can we defeat those nasty people?
Do you expect the Demon Club to help every time the Security Administration encounters an invincible enemy?
Does the Demon Club owe us anything? Can they always help in times of crisis?"
