Jian Feiyu walked through the corridor, greeting people passing by from time to time.
This is the Purifier Western Pacific Division, and Jian Feiyu is a Purifier operative.
Although the Purifier organization has many members and a huge force, in fact, most of them are logistics personnel, and the number of operators who can really fight on the front line is not very large, after all, not everyone can face the existence of those supernatural forces without changing their faces.
Coupled with the frequent personnel transfers, and the unexpectedly high index of accidental deaths, so after only three years here, Jian Feiyu is already considered an old qualification, looking at it, it is either a guy transferred from another branch, or a novice who has just walked out of the training camp.
Walking through the long corridor, through the office hall where the telephone was ringing constantly, Jian Feiyu came to the core of the branch, and as soon as he walked into the black door, the surroundings immediately became quiet, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside, like another world.
Seeing Jian Feiyu, the secretary Lily immediately greeted her, with an expression on her face that she saw an idol, as if her eyes were full of little stars. "Jane, the minister told you to come over." After speaking, he lowered his voice again: "It seems that there is a special task again." β
Jian Feiyu shrugged his shoulders senselessly, but he didn't care too much, and pushed open the door and walked in nonchalantly.
"Minister, do you have something to do with me?"
The man, known as the minister, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the view of the city outside.
Hearing Jian Feiyu's words, he didn't turn around immediately, but stood there quietly, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke, "Tell me Jane, how long have you been doing this?" β
"About five years, two years for East Asia and three years for the Western Pacific."
"How many people have you killed in those five years?"
"Probably a few hundred, I don't remember exactly."
"Of the 279 people, there were 62 wounded, and only seven were arrested unscathed.
Jian Fei was not frightened by this number: "Everyone I killed was innocent." She said calmly, but it didn't seem to be explaining, it seemed to be just explaining a fact.
"I don't mean to question you, I'm just very confused, sometimes I'm really curious, what forces drive us humans to constantly try to destroy ourselves, what we are doing now, is it futile, maybe one day when a crisis breaks out we can't stop it, and then poof, the world is destroyed, so what's the point of what we're doing now?"
There was a hint of emotion, a hint of exhaustion, and a hint of confusion in the minister's voice.
The expression on Jian Feiyu's face became strange, she was not very interested in this emotion, in her opinion, things were very simple, if someone died, send him to die, that's all.
"Well, Minister, did you forget to take your medicine?" She asked disrespectfully.
"Hehe," the minister smiled and turned away, but waved his hand senselessly, "don't care, just think of the nonsense of an old man who is about to retire." β
The minister said, and sat down in the chair after the work, "I came to you this time, because I have a task to be assigned to you. β
"I guess this task must be very unusual, otherwise you wouldn't have given it to me personally."
The minister nodded, "Three years ago, you participated in a mission, a mission with the hunt for summoners. β
A hint of gloom flashed in Jian Feiyu's eyes, "That's right, it's the same thing again." β
Of course, she will not forget that that mission was the last one he carried out in the East Asia Division, six Purifier operatives, two assault teams, and dozens of police officers drawn from local law enforcement, raiding the scene of a summoning ceremony, the police guarding the perimeter, and the operatives and assault teams rushing into the ceremony site, generally speaking, this level of attack is foolproof, although summoners usually have some abilities or supernatural abilities, but Purifiers have a complete countermeasure.
But that time they encountered a huge risk, when they arrived the summoner had already completed the summoning, he summoned an evil god from another world, the battle was unfolded in a chaos, the evil god, the summoner, and the purifier, attacked each other, fought each other, and finally the evil god was sent back to the world it came from, most of the summoners were killed, and Jian Feiyu and her team members also suffered heavy losses, only a few people survived, the most terrible thing was that the leader of the summoner fled, It was precisely because of that incident that she applied for a transfer from the East Asia Division to the Western Pacific Branch.
"According to some recent information, the summoner should be dead."
Jian Feiyu nodded, and to her surprise, she didn't feel much relieved to hear this.
"However, the Book of the Otherworld in his hand has been passed down, and I think you should know what the Book of the Other World is."
Jian Feiyu nodded, "Of course, the Book of the Otherworld records the knowledge of summoning techniques, and it is the inheritance of the summoner, it can be said that it is the existence of the Book of the Otherworld that leads to the existence of the summoner, and our organization has been looking for and recovering the Book of the Otherworld for hundreds of years." β
The minister nodded, "That's right, any ordinary person usually has only two endings after obtaining the Book of Otherworlds, constantly summoning, constantly gaining powerful power, and finally dying in an unexpected summoning failure, which is the fate of the vast majority of summoners."
Or, it may be wise to give up the summoner after a summoning ritual, but there is no one in a hundred who can make this choice, and the vast majority of people will die out of curiosity and the search for the unknown, dragging everyone else into the water along with them. β
Jian Feiyu recalled the faces of those companions in his mind.
"What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to find it and retrieve this otherworldly book before it causes more harm, and I'll give you level 5 clearance to facilitate your actions."
Jian Feiyu was a little surprised, Level 5 authority means that he can apply for and command the assault team, he can let the branch coordinate the assistance of local law enforcement agencies, and even apply for the help of the Damned, it seems that the minister cares a lot about this operation.
"And what about the bearers of the Atlas?"
"The old rule, if he threatens, you are allowed to clear it, if there is no threat, then arrest him, send him to the Tower of Babel and lock him up, okay, is there any problem?"
A sneer appeared on Jian Feiyu's face: "I can't wait." β
