"How? Have you contacted Qi Yu and them? Ye Yu looked at Xiaolu who walked in after making a phone call, and asked anxiously.

"No, they can't be reached." Shinoru shook her head with an ugly face. "Due to the high degree of secrecy of this operation, and the people who went out with Qi Yu were all his henchmen, the people currently stationed in the ministry knew very little about their whereabouts, and they could only contact the escort team through the special telephone line, but ...... At present, this dedicated line is broken. ”

"Broken? Don't...... Is something really going wrong?? Ye Yu said nervously.

"It's not so sure, it can't be ruled out that it's a signal problem......" Xiaolu looked at Ye Yu. But if something really happens, there shouldn't be any movement from above, after all, in terms of the importance of this shipment, they must be more concerned than us, and they have more information than us, I don't think you should think too much......"

"It's not that I'm thinking too much, it's just ...... Now all kinds of clues point to 'Devouring', and it is very likely that behind all these recent successions, 'Devouring' is manipulating, and their purpose is the 'Blood Key Bracelet'! ”

Ye Yu frowned slightly and said seriously.

"I have a hunch that they will not let go of this opportunity to snatch the 'Blood Key Bracelet', and now the connection between Qi Yu's side has suddenly been cut off...... I don't think it's an accident. ”

"Do you think the reason for the interruption of contact is that 'Devouring' has already made a move?" Shinoru asked.

"I can't guarantee it, but it's a possibility." Ye Yu said, looking up at Xiaolu again. "I also hope that this is just my unfounded worry, so the most urgent thing to do now is to contact Qi Yu and them as soon as possible...... By the way, does the director know about Qi Yu's disappearance? ”

“…… Forehead...... This ......" Shinoru was stunned, and suddenly looked away. "The Chief's side...... Well...... It's not so much that I know that Qi Yu and they are missing, but I don't know their specific route and whereabouts this time from the beginning......"

"What??" Ye Yu's eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't Qi Yu escort the 'Blood Key Bracelet' to the north this time to the headquarters of our Special Affairs Investigation Bureau?"

"Of course not." Shinoru shook her head and said. "This time, Qi Yu went north to send the 'Blood Key Bracelet' to the center...... Another department. ”

"Another department?" Ye Yu asked puzzled. "Isn't it our Special Affairs Investigation Bureau that is in charge of matters related to the Blood Keystone?"

"This is complicated, maybe because you don't have much contact with things in the bureau, so you don't know much about many situations, and the water above is deep." Shinoru sighed.

“…… I don't understand......" Ye Yu was confused.

"Well, since it's all at this point, I'll tell you something, lest you accidentally say the wrong thing and don't even know how you died." Xiaolu cleared her throat, lowered her voice slightly, and looked at Ye Yu and said.

"Our Special Affairs Investigation Bureau is indeed a special agency directly under the central government in charge of affairs related to the 'Blood Keystone', and it has very large privileges, so even within the system, its status is quite high."

That's true...... Otherwise, the ministries in the system would not have arranged for elites to take the special investigator examination and try their best to join the Special Investigation Bureau.

Ye Yu thought secretly and continued to listen.

"But you also know that when a force has great power, it will inevitably produce all kinds of rumors, and for the top level of the central government, they will not allow a certain department below to dominate alone. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the central government has supported other forces to contain us. Shinoru explained slowly. And this force that holds us back is the 'Regulatory Council'. ”

"Will the regulator ......?"

"The so-called 'supervisory committee' is the department that has the authority to review the actions of the Special Investigation Bureau, and theoretically speaking, we are not allowed to carry out our actions without the approval of the 'supervisory committee'. As for the composition of the members of the "Supervisory Council", you know, since it is an organization that restrains us, the "philosophy" of the members in it is completely different from that of the Special Investigation Bureau. ”

"'Idea'?? Wait, I seem to be getting more and more confused......"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're not originally from the system, so you probably don't know much about these things." Shinoru folded her arms, thought for a moment, and spoke.

"Let's put it this way, since the country discovered the magical power of the Blood Keystone, the central system has been divided into two forces. One is the "conservatives", who believe that although the Blood Keystone is magical, it is very dangerous and may bring turmoil to the country, so it is recommended to be cautious; On the other hand, there are "radicals", who believe that the Blood Keystone is a treasure given to our country by God, and advocate maximizing the function of the Blood Keystone, and even using it to enhance our country's national strength and show its strength in the world. ”

"'Conservatives' and 'radicals,'......" Ye Yu muttered softly. What kind of faction is the Special Investigation Bureau? ”

"'Conservatives.'" Shinoru said directly. "The predecessor of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau was the 'Blood Keystone Special Search Group' set up by the central government, and the four existing Blood Keystones were all recovered by them at that time, perhaps because they had personally experienced the bloody storm of fighting for the Blood Keystone, most of the people in the Special Investigation Team advocated conservative ideas, and the deputy leader of the original search team was now our Chief Executive, An Xi."

"The director of the bureau was the deputy head of the group? ...... is the team leader? ”

"The original search team leader...... Passed away. Shinoru lowered her eyes and said. During a mission three years ago, he was killed by 'Devouring'. ”

"'Devour'!!" Ye Yu's hands couldn't help but clench into fists. "Three years ago...... Are they so rampant!? ”

"They have always been rampant, in fact, in the process of recovering the existing four blood key stones, they have been 'devouring' in the open and secret fight with the search team, and there are not a few comrades who have died in their hands, and in the battle three years ago, the country finally eliminated them, but ...... It also came at a great cost. Shinoru looked solemn. I heard that the leader of the search team was also an 'expulsor'. ”！？

Ye Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that when he first came to the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, Xiao Yan and his colleagues had a sense of intimacy with their identity as "expulsors", and they vaguely realized something.

Don't...... They were so kind to me in the first place, because I had the same physique as the 'search team leader'?

Ye Yu, whose mood had become a little delicate, hurriedly shook his head, trying his best not to think about it, he raised his head again to look at Xiaolu and diverted the topic.

"Then since the Special Investigation Bureau is a 'conservative', the regulatory committee you just mentioned is a 'radical'?"

"That's right." Shinoru nodded and said. "But the 'radicals' are not only these people, like our Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, the Supervisory Council is only a representative of the forces where they are located, in fact, there are many departments behind the 'conservatives' and 'radicals', and the two also maintain a delicate balance under the control of the central high-level, and even the four blood keystones are equally guarded by the two forces."

"Then if Qi Yu didn't escort the new 'Blood Key Bracelet' to the headquarters of our Special Affairs Investigation Bureau this time, then did it give it to ......" Ye Yu suddenly realized the problem.

"I guess it's for the 'radicals'." Shinoru sighed. "Although Qi Yu is the head of our Eastern District, I heard that he was also assigned by the Supervision Council to parachute in, and according to my grapevine, Qi Yu doesn't seem to listen to the orders of the Chief Security Bureau."

"This guy...... Sure enough......" Ye Yu said through gritted teeth. "It seems that Lou Yue's ouster was also the result of the struggle between the two forces, and the purpose was to send Qi Yu, who was a radical, into the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau...... No wonder the people of the Eastern District Bureau were cleaned so clean at that time, and Qi Yu did not inform the Director General of Security of the specific itinerary of this transportation mission. ”

"It's good that you know. I understand that you are more emotionally inclined to Lou Yue, but after all, you are now under Qi Yu, so I advise you to judge the situation for the time being. Xiaolu looked at Ye Yu's dissatisfied expression and hurriedly persuaded her, for fear that Ye Yu would do something impulsive.

“…… Shinolu, what do you think? Ye Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly asked. Did you join the Special Investigation Bureau because you agree with the idea of 'conservatives', or do you ......"

"I don't have any particular bias." Shinoru lightly tapped her index finger on her cheek and said dryly. "To be honest, I took the Investigator Exam because I was in my old department...... Forehead...... Because of some reasons, I can't get mixed up.,Of course,I also think that searching for the Blood Keystone is an interesting job.,That's why I want to join the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau.,As for what kind of policy to use to deal with the Blood Keystone.,This is something that the central high-level people have to consider.,It's not my turn to worry about it.。 ”

"Really...... But in my experience, I've seen a lot of people die because of the Blood Keystone, and as conservatives fear, this kind of thing is magical, but it is also very dangerous, and because of its side effects, abuse is bound to have serious consequences. Ye Yu said.

"I don't agree with the concept of 'radicals', but what I can't tolerate is that the evil organization that 'devours' to obtain blood keystones, it is conceivable that if they get more blood keystones, I am afraid they will go even further than the 'radicals', and I don't know how many people will be killed by then...... So this time Qi Yu transported the 'Blood Key Bracelet' this time, even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, I wouldn't allow things to fall into the hands of 'Devouring'! ”

"But don't talk about us now, even the chief doesn't know Qi Yu's whereabouts, how do you contact Qi Yu?" Shinoru questioned.

"There's a way to do it." Ye Yu lowered his head and looked at the black bracelet on his wrist.

"But...... It depends on how much he values me. (To be continued.) )
