Chapter 56 Lingkong City

Yan Shi re-logged into Yanju on the identity system.

"Huh?"

On the system, Yanju's personal information interface is completely different from Yanlan's.

Yanlan's personal information interface has a simple ID code, a basic personal information table next to it, and a small official information notification icon at the top.

Lu Jian just sent the message to Yan Lan through that official information notification.

However, logging into Director Yan's personal information interface reveals a complete control panel, including the ability to view personnel information and send messages.

Opening the personal information list reveals an arrangement based on different regions and factions within the Otherworld, along with options to lock, modify, and delete member information.

Director Yan, this must be the backend control interface.

Yan Shi casually opened the information list of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and found that each person's name tag was marked with a different color.

"What is this?"

She clicked on the color marker with a puzzled look, and a pop-up message appeared asking, "Change your identity rating?"

Yan Shi: !

She suddenly remembered that Libertas had once said at the Cloud Tower, "My identity rating is estimated to be very high."

Yan Shi immediately became interested.

How does the Bureau of Foreign Affairs calculate this status rating?

She searched for Libertas on the system, which listed her as "Eldest daughter of Grand Duke Lorenz, Young Lord of the Kess territory," with a purple rank.

At the same time, a family composition chart of Libertas pops up.

Libertas' mother, Grand Duchess Lorenz, has a status rating of "Black".

Libertas's younger brother, with a blue rank.

In the current list of members of the General Administration, section chiefs such as Sheng Chunqiu and Lu Jian are all rated as "black".

Yan Shi muttered to himself, "Judging from this, Libertas's rating is indeed very high..."

She then clicked into the General Administration's Information Department and found a key point among a series of neat color combinations.

Despite being the Director of the Confidentiality Department, Gui Gemu's rank was the same as that of other department heads like Sheng Chunqiu—[Black]. Others at the same level as Gui Gemu, such as Yu Junxun, were all ranked [Purple].

That's very strange.

Yan Shi clicked on the Return Pavilion curtain, then his gaze fixed on it.

Gui Gemu's identity information is marked as, "Eldest daughter of the Sanyi Tower Master, Tower Master of Sanyi Tower".

Yan Shi: ?

If she remembered correctly, this Sanyi Tower was one of the seven towers in the twelve cities of the Eastern Human Race in the Inner World.

Guige Mu was actually the owner of Sanyi Tower.

What is she doing working at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs?

Why not go home and inherit his vast fortune?

Who would want to go to work!

Yan Shi didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Apart from Guigemu, who was clearly out of place, the rest were neatly dressed in purple and blue. Below Yu Junxun was Lin Cai, whose identity rating was white.

Yan Shi flipped through the pages with great interest for a while and could roughly determine that the identity rating consisted of four colors: [Black] - [Purple] - [Blue] - [White].

She suddenly realized that if her subordinates were all rated as "black," then what was hers?

Yan Shi eagerly awaited the moment he clicked on his own profile on the system.

A golden light.

She was indeed very different from others.

Her status rating is gold.

Now, Yan Shi announces that she is the official UR!

And it is the only UR.

Yan Shi closed the identity system with satisfaction.

Then, in a somber mood, I removed the blockade of spiritual messages and began preparing for the arduous task of going to work.

Going to work is like going to a funeral.

No, Yan Shi's experience of visiting graves wasn't as painful as going to work.

She first painstakingly searched through a mountain of explosive news to find Duan Yunchen.

[Yan: How is it?]

Since Gu Feng led his team to the Weier Hub Branch last night, Duan Yunchen has been in a state of excessive busyness and agitation.

Lingkong City is one of the twelve main cities of the Eastern Human Race. After the Lingkong City branch was razed to the ground yesterday, the news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Inner World.

Not to mention Director Yan, who single-handedly suppressed the scorching sun, creating an effect akin to divine punishment, and immediately took a picture of the Lingkong City branch ruins and posted it on the homepage of the Bureau of Eccentric Management's intranet.

Afterwards, they tied up the Nan family patriarch and elders who had arrived first to demand an explanation, and without any fuss, they directly imprisoned them in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs prison.

This was a one-against-many situation, and the Nan family patriarch couldn't even withstand one of Yan Ju's moves.

It was like throwing a fireball into a pot of boiling oil, instantly igniting the situation.

Half an hour after the incident, the Information Department of the General Administration of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs blocked all information on the entire Spirit Domain Network. Keywords such as Yanju, Sunfall, and Spirit Sky City were blocked.

But that didn't stop the news from spreading throughout the world.

It's no exaggeration to say that the entire Bureau of Management, from headquarters to branch offices, was brightly lit all night.

Everyone is working overtime.

Yan Ju, who was responsible for all of this, unilaterally refused to receive any outside information after issuing her a Level 1 emergency arrest warrant.

Her methods were very clever. First, she used her absolute strength to suppress the entire inner world, and then she physically severed the connection, not giving the old folks a chance to morally condemn her.

This also gave everyone a good night to reassess the significance of the new director of the Bureau of Dissidents.

After Duan Yunchen received the message from Director Yan, she immediately made an emergency call.

Finally, someone answered.

There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Half a minute after the call connected, Duan Yunchen couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Director Yan, you've finally reconnected to the Spirit Network?"

Director Yan: "Get straight to the point, I'm very busy."

Duan Yunchen: ...

Damn it, for the ten thousandth time I've been reflecting on this, from which nook and cranny did the Heavenly Mandate Platform just pull this great being out of?

As an ageless witch, she has lived for a thousand years without ever having heard of this person, and!

I can't beat them...

Duan Yunchen swallowed his anger again: "The people are still in the Weil Hub Branch Prison. I have arranged for three patrol teams to guard them."

"Where are the others?" There was the sound of fingertips tapping on the table on the other end of the phone.

Unhurried and deliberate, each note resonates deeply.

Duan Yunchen unconsciously lowered his voice and speaking speed: "The young lady from the Nan family is still guarding the main hall, and I'm sitting here watching. Several families from Lingkong City have arrived outside."

"Based on Xiao Gan's analysis of the 12-hour port entry situation at the Weier hub, other major cities should have also sent people. They just haven't shown up yet."

Director Yan: "I'll be there right away."

Duan Yunchen: "You'll be there soon? Should I pick you up at the outer gate of the Will Hub?"

"No need." A bell rang from Director Yan's side, and at the same time, Duan Yunchen heard the same sound from the clock tower at the top of the Yuntuhang Tower.

10:00 AM.

The sound of boots lightly tapping the ground came from in front of me, and it was especially clear in the hall, which was suddenly extremely quiet at this moment.

The person finally stopped in front of Duan Yunchen, with the world barrier that had just been torn open and had not yet fully closed not far behind.

"I have arrived."

Yanju hung up the phone, and Duan Yunchen looked up at her.

Yesterday's scorching sun, or any other explosive information, had no effect on Director Yan.

She remained indifferent, her eyes expressionless.

Just like when the scorching sun fell yesterday, it was as if God had taken pity on the world.

It's obvious they didn't work overtime.

Duan Yunchen thought angrily.

"Where is Mingsong?" Director Yan asked.

Duan Yunchen: "That little girl from the Nan family? She was just sitting in the hall a moment ago."

Just then, hurried footsteps came from behind.

"Yanju!"

Yan Shi turned around and saw that Ming Song still had tear stains on his face, and he hurriedly stopped three steps behind her while holding a thick stack of account books.

“Director Yan,” Mingsong said, bowing deeply and raising both hands to present the ledger to Yan Shi. “This is the ledger. Please, release Ancestor and the elders.”

The hall, which had been bustling and noisy all night, was now unusually quiet. People inside and outside the door were watching the place either cautiously or discreetly.

Yan Shi did not take the ledger, but instead reached out and used his index finger to lift Ming Song's face.

Do you know what the penalty is for violating the Bureau of Dissent Protection's Peace Protection Ordinance?

Mingsong bit his lower lip and remained silent.

“According to the protection regulations, those suspected of harming the lives of beings in the Otherworld will be sentenced to death or,” Yan Shi paused, “and imprisoned in the Void Realm,” depending on the severity of the circumstances.

Sometimes, in the other world, falling is the best release.

No living being can escape from the void, nor can any living being die within it by their own will.

Ming Song shook his head violently, "Please, please, no. I know there are many other families, everyone..."

“But I just happened to catch your family.” Yan Shi looked down at her. “Do you know how many cubs are waiting for special grants every year on the Giant Jaw Plain?”

Knowing that Mingsong wouldn't answer, Yanju said to himself, "Tens of thousands."

"Tell me, how can I forgive you for the countless deaths of your young over the past twenty years?"

As he spoke, Yan Shi released his grip, and Ming Song immediately knelt on the ground.

“Director Yan,” Ming Song looked up suddenly as if he had made a decision, “the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs cannot abandon Lingkong City, and Lingkong City, in its current state, needs a culprit.”

"I am willing to be this sinner, to die for the Bureau of Dissidents. I beg you to give lenient sentences to the Nan family and other suspects."

Yes, Lingkong City is in complete chaos right now. The branch of the Bureau of Evil Management was razed to the ground by the scorching sun just yesterday.

Rebuilding the branch of the Bureau of Other Affairs, recruiting staff, and pacifying the city's residents will be a huge undertaking, not to mention the numerous different factions from the Otherworld attempting to interfere.

However, it is difficult to find someone to go to Lingkong City to quell the current situation, which is what Yan Shi needs.

He needs to have enough ability, background, and strength to suppress Lingkong City, but he can't be involved with too many families from the underworld. Otherwise, Yan Shi's attack on Lingkong City this time will be a waste of effort.

Mingsong is the best candidate available.

Several leaders of the Nan family have been imprisoned in the Bureau of Extraterritorial Control prison. Even if they are not sentenced to death or sent to the Void Realm, they will not be able to get out in the short term.

With the family leaderless, Ming Song could directly take over the Nan family. Then, in the name of the Nan family head, he would take over Lingkong City at that time.

Because she escaped by betraying other families who participated in the operation of the Giant Jaw Plain special allocation funds, it was impossible for those other families to form a very close cooperation with the Nan family.

However, the Nan family has accumulated a long history, and she still has some partners who maintain their relationship based on mutual benefit.

Mingsong was very smart. She knew that Director Yan had left a group of people waiting all night and only came to the Weier Hub Branch in the morning because he needed her to figure out some things.

Ming Song had no other choice.

Director Yan: "Give me the ledger. Gu Feng is the next head of the Lingkong City Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs branch, and you are her secretary."

"I hope Lingkong City can give me a satisfactory answer this time."

Gu Feng was sitting on the side of the hall when he was suddenly called out. He stood up in surprise.

"Director Yan, it's me?"

Yan Shi: "Yes. The entire A5 team from the General Administration has been transferred to the Lingkong City branch."

For Gu Feng, this was a promotion.

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!" Gu Feng saluted on the spot.

As for the other families, Yan Shi stood in the hall, slowly turning the pages of the account book that Ming Song had given her.
