"But it's different from yours."
"As long as they abide by the law and are willing to join, we will arrange a corresponding nominal position for them, allowing them to enjoy the protection and resources of the Thunder Bureau, and from then on, they will work for Zhongzhou without any real power."
"But if any force chooses not to join, then don't blame us, the Thunder Bureau, for being ruthless and will definitely crack down on such forces."
Li Yu was slightly taken aback after hearing this. He hadn't expected the Thunder Bureau to be so determined and to want to unify the various forces in Zhongzhou. He was afraid that it would be quite difficult.
However, Li Yu was also filled with doubts. Why did they have to tell her these things in particular?
Liu Xin seemed to sense Li Yu's confusion and quickly stated the Thunder Bureau's position:
"Li Yu, we have long heard of your strength and are well aware of your heroic deeds."
"Thunder Bureau desperately needs talent like you right now, and needs your special abilities."
Li Yu couldn't help but ask, "My abilities?"
“Yes.” Liu Xin said, glancing involuntarily at the crossbow in Li Yu’s hand.
If the Thunder Bureau's investigation is correct, Li Yu's superpower is most likely weapon enhancement.
The terrifying weapon that Li Yu currently holds, capable of instantly killing Park Dong-hoon, would be nothing more than an ordinary repeating crossbow once it left Li Yu's hands.
All the power it displays, when traced back to its source, originates from Li Yu's special ability.
"Our Thunder Bureau has carefully analyzed the combat footage of you on the Great Wall and discovered that your special ability seems to greatly enhance the power of the giant cannon, is that right?" Liu Xin suddenly asked.
Li Yu remained silent after hearing this, not responding immediately, but thinking to herself:
'So, in the eyes of outsiders, my superpower is this kind of weapon enhancement.'
However, Li Yu knew in his heart that he could indeed enhance the giant cannon, but he would not enhance the cannon's actual power, but rather... the visual effect.
Li Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the thought of the effect of a large equipment slot:
'Can this even be considered an enhancement?'
Seeing that Li Yu remained silent, Liu Xin assumed he had some concerns and quickly continued:
"Our Thunder Bureau has recently developed a giant pulse cannon. Based on current testing, it already possesses the power to severely injure high-level Awakened individuals."
"If we further enhance it with your special abilities, it will play a crucial role in our operation to unify the various forces."
"In this way, we can not only silence those voices above who question our actions, but also greatly increase the deterrent power of the Thunder Bureau, making other forces take the initiative to join us."
Li Yu asked curiously, "Haven't I already become the commander of the Central Plains?"
Liu Xin smiled faintly: "Joining the Thunder Bureau and your identity in the Central Plains Military Department do not conflict."
"The Thunder Bureau is mainly responsible for managing the Awakened within Central Continent and maintaining order; while the Central Continent Military Department is mainly responsible for external wars and does not need to be mobilized in peacetime."
Liu Xin added, "Think about it, wouldn't it be more convenient and advantageous to act in Zhongzhou if you had a dual identity?"
Li Yu's eyes flickered as she pondered.
A pulse cannon can severely injure a high-level Awakened? That sounds interesting.
However, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Choosing to join the Thunder Bureau might mean getting caught up in the struggle for unification.
Seeing that Li Yu was still hesitant, Liu Xin couldn't help but recall the instructions given to him by the higher-ups at the Thunder Bureau: 'You must succeed in inviting Li Yu no matter what.'
Upon thinking of this, Liu Xin felt a pang of guilt and quickly added:
"Li Yu, I know what you're worried about, but you can rest assured."
"Once you join Thunder Bureau, we will absolutely not restrict your freedom. You can continue to do what you want. However, at some crucial moments, we will need you to contribute to Thunder Bureau."
When Liu Xin mentioned that he needed to contribute, he quickly changed the subject, putting on a positive note:
"Moreover, once you choose to join the Thunder Bureau, you can travel freely in the Central Continent using your Thunder Bureau identity."
"In this way, no one will dare to cause you trouble again."
“Even the Central State Enforcement Team needs our permission before it can take action against the Thunder Bureau.”
Liu Xin said with great confidence, "You should know that our Thunder Bureau's criminal punishment department is not to be trifled with."
His words were not unfounded; the ruthlessness and methods of the Thunder Bureau's Penal Department were notorious in Zhongzhou.
Even all the awakened individuals in this department possess abilities related to intelligence gathering.
It's like a mental invasion, breaking into the depths of the other person's consciousness;
Amplify nerve pain sensations to force prisoners to reveal the truth under extreme pain;
Memory tracing allows one to revisit a prisoner's memories and find key information.
These are just ordinary superpowers of their penal department.
There is also a special ability called "delirium spores," which can cause hallucinations, making people actively reveal secrets in their delirious ramblings.
When necessary, they will also use special supernatural means to first let the prisoner experience the horrific ending of being torn apart by five horses and having his limbs crushed on a mental level, to enhance the realism and horror of this experience, and then continue to question him through the supernatural effect of reversing cause and effect until the prisoner completely tells the process of the crime.
The Department of Penalties will stop at nothing to obtain intelligence.
However, the Thunder Bureau claimed that all of this was a necessary measure to maintain stability and order in Zhongzhou.
This is why some people would rather die than be caught by the Thunder Bureau.
