Chapter 187 (Chapter 186) Smuggling Group
Yan Shi certainly wanted to give Chairman Ning an answer, but the problem was, she wasn't the one who destroyed the world barrier, and she was also very worried.
Going to work is really too difficult.
Yan Shi sighed deeply in his heart, but remained calm on the surface: "The Bureau of Anomalies will do its best to repair the world barrier as soon as possible, while dealing with anomalies in the surface world and protecting ordinary residents."
“This is our duty. But, Chairman Ning,” Yan Shi paused, then continued, “the shattering of the world barrier is not what we wanted. After all, nobody likes working overtime, right?”
Chairman Ning: "But this was done by criminals from your inner world. Moreover, this criminal seems to be a former employee of the Bureau of Extraterritorial Control?"
Yan Shi: ...?
Yan Shi didn't know how the world barrier shattered, but the huge hole in Qule City was indeed blown up by Sheng Chunqiu.
Yan Shi learned the information from the comics, but how did Chairman Ning know such detailed information?
Yan Shi remained calm: "We are also furious about what the criminals did. But this criminal is a former employee of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs... Chairman Ning, where did you get this false information from?"
“I naturally have my own sources of information,” Chairman Ning said. “But if your Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs has former employees who turn to criminals, who knows if any of the current employees have accomplices?”
As he spoke, Chairman Ning stared at Yan Shi, his expression cold and stern, carrying a hint of ruthlessness: "The outer world and the inner world, as two poles of the world, do not interfere with each other. They maintain cooperation. But the premise of cooperation is a stable environment. I personally certainly do not want to disrupt the cooperation."
"But Director Yan, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. I have to ensure the safety of the residents of the surface world. That's my duty."
Chairman Ning is indeed a very competent leader.
Yan Shi looked back into her eyes: "According to the rules, I cannot have my own stance. But personally, I certainly hope that the inner world will not affect the outer world. I will also fulfill the responsibilities I have promised."
"What we need is Director Yan's promise." Chairman Ning smiled slightly, then stood up. "And I hope you can keep your word."
As she spoke, she walked toward the door of the lounge. Before leaving, she turned back and stared intently at Yan Shi for a few seconds before slowly pushing the door open and leaving.
Through the crack in the door, one could see the guards who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. Chairman Ning was quickly surrounded by them.
The door closed.
Yan Shi remained seated on the sofa.
The lounge was completely silent.
Yan Shi slowly shifted from sitting upright to leaning back on the sofa, then slumped down, clutching her head and yelling, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh!"
"That's really scary."
She had a long face.
However, Yan Shi thought of Chairman Ning's confident tone: "Chairman Ning's information channel, it can't be comics, can it...?"
She truly hadn't expected that the highest leader of the world would also read comics.
If Chairman Ning were to see the cartoon, then the problem would become serious.
The previous ending.
"Anyway," Yan Shi took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind, "let's first go and find the surface world residents who stepped into Norno Port through the hole in the world barrier of Qule City."
This task should have been handled by the branch of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs near Norno Port. However, considering that the situation there was not yet stable, the team members sent there were probably still disguised as refugees with Chu Mengfu, making mobilization quite troublesome.
Most importantly, Yan Shi didn't want to attend the meeting anymore.
What a great opportunity to get out and about!
They were able to escape the meeting room.
Yan Shi thought for a moment, then took out his phone again and dialed his secretary-general: "Secretary Xie, there's a sudden emergency. I need to get an execution team to come with me to Qule City."
While the world barrier cannot be torn apart and there are no teleportation arrays in the surface world, there are still many rapid travel options that central agencies can mobilize from the capital to Qule City, given the transportation system of the surface world.
Yan Shi entered Qule City an hour later.
During her time on the plane, she reviewed the database again. None of the recent reports submitted to the Director's office by the Secretariat mentioned such a large vulnerability in the world barrier near Port Norno.
The overlap has reached a level where the world overlaps.
Her fingertips tapped lightly on the report, slowly drawing a question mark at a crucial point.
If the Information Bureau has not collected any intelligence on the World Barrier Vulnerability between Qule City and Norno Port, does that mean that there are more World Barrier Vulnerabilities in other places, but the Bureau of Alien Affairs has no information about them?
Qule City was fortunate enough to be included on a page of the comic.
When Yan Shi asked Chairman Ning to let him go to Qule City, the latter did not stop him, but looked thoughtful.
Subsequently, she quickly mobilized the guards, arranged a flight path for Yan Shi, and deployed a troop of troops.
To be honest, the world barrier vulnerability in Qule City isn't very large. It's located on the edge of Qule City, connecting directly to the beach outside Norno Port. This area is already sparsely populated, and when Yan Shi arrived, the nearby streets had already been sealed off by the local authorities.
Yan Shi was the first to step into the crack.
As soon as she entered, before she could even see the scenery clearly, she suddenly sensed movement coming straight towards her from behind.
Yan instinctively dodged forward, and at the same time, the fire spirit reacted quickly, instantly converging into chains that firmly trapped the unknown person behind.
The enforcement team that followed Yan Shi in reacted quickly and pinned the man to the ground.
Yan Shi: ...?
She took a step back, looked back, and looked completely bewildered.
Who is this person?
The person pinned to the ground was a middle-aged woman, wearing a slightly dirty trench coat with dried bloodstains on the hem, and a short knife tucked into her waistband.
She clearly hadn't expected to be captured, and was panting heavily. Her face was flushed as she struggled to breathe while being pinned to the ground.
"You..." The woman was shocked. She scraped the ground and reached for the short blade at her waist, but the enforcement team pressed her head down harder and forced her face down into the sand.
"Director Yan," the leader said, head bowed, "we were too slow."
Yan Shi shook his head, blinked, and looked around.
On this side of the World Barrier Gap was a small campsite in a corner of the beach, with a few crudely erected tents and several old transport vehicles covered with heavy curtains. You could vaguely see several figures lying inside.
The configuration looks very familiar.
Ling Yanshi recalled a long, long time ago, at the beginning of the comic, when Liu Guang drugged her in the transport truck.
Yan Shi: ...
She has realized it.
This hole in the world's barrier is an automatic exit for a continuous flow of people.
"Smugglers." Yan Shi lowered his eyes. "Investigate."
The task force began to move. A few people stayed by Yan Shi's side as guards, while the rest quickly dispersed to block all the exits of the camp.
Just then, a commotion arose inside the tent, and several footsteps approached from afar.
"What's going on? You can't even catch ordinary people from the surface world?" a woman with a gruff voice shouted, lifting the curtain and meeting Yan Shi's gaze.
Yan Shi sneered.
In an instant, the woman who came out changed her expression.
"...Mother Goddess."
The other party seemed to recognize her. Or maybe not, but at least she knew that Yan Shi was someone completely beyond their capabilities.
However, the audacity of black market smugglers seems to be the same all the time.
Given that human trafficking and other forms of smuggling are inherently disgraceful, often the only way to survive is to kill to cover it up.
The woman emerged from the tent, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Go!"
As he spoke, he drew the alchemical spear from his waist and was about to point it at Yan Shi.
The moment she spoke, the temperature in the entire camp rose.
Because of the high concentration of water vapor at the seaside, and the cool sea breeze, the moisture in the air is completely evaporated.
The fire spirits gathered, coiled into a rope, wrapped around the alchemical spear, and heated the muzzle until it glowed red-hot before exploding with a "bang".
The woman suddenly released her grip on the alchemy gun, her palm already a bloody mess, and was then pinned to the ground.
Meanwhile, after sealing off the exits, the enforcement team stormed into the camp. Guns, knives, and spiritual energy clashed, and within minutes, the entire black market stronghold returned to silence from chaos.
The team leader bowed and stood in front of Yan Shi: "Director Yan, all the smugglers in the camp have been brought under control."
Yan Shi nodded, walked up to the man who seemed to be the head of the smuggling ring, and leaned down to look at her: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that someone would try to kidnap me."
The woman realized something was amiss from the way the enforcement team was addressed, and her expression darkened. "The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. Director Yan. What an honor."
Yan Shi nodded: "Mm." She straightened up.
There were only four unconscious humans inside the transport vehicle.
Considering that the vulnerability in the world barrier has been present for three days, there must be more than this many people involved.
Yan Shi looked at the woman and asked, "Tell me, where are the others?"
The woman closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.
The next second, the enforcement team pried open his mouth and dislocated his jaw, taking out a small amount of poison.
Yan Shi: ...
"You don't want to live?" She was speechless. The fire spirit gathered again, scorching across the other person's neck and burning a red spot.
"I'll give you one more chance," Yan Shi said, his tone nonchalant. "If you really don't want to live, you can become a speck of dust in the void. It won't be that easy, anyway."
