At three o'clock in the morning, the lights were still on in an office of the Special Ability Special Affairs Section.
"Hasn't it been deleted?" Yamaguchi Daichi asked anxiously, holding down a subordinate who was sitting in front of the computer.
The member of the Special Ability Unit who was pinned down by him already had a blue look under his eyes, and so did the others present. They had been in charge of this surveillance mission for some time.
"Yes, the post has indeed been deleted, but it seems that someone saved the photo and circulated it on social networking sites." The man in a suit wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He seemed particularly nervous and frightened.
"And according to the current popularity, even if we suppress this trend, we still have tens of thousands of views."
"Damn it!" Yamaguchi Daichi slammed the table angrily, and the electronic products on the table seemed to be shaking because of his anger.
No one responded to him. Everyone in the room was trying hard to deal with the matter, trying to prevent the photo of the strange plant from spreading on the Internet. However, even though they managed to prevent the photo from being leaked on a large scale, the legend of the "Queen of Innocence" became popular in various forums at an extremely fast speed.
"Calm down, Yamaguchi."
The young man wearing glasses and holding a thin file bag walked into the room calmly, forming a sharp contrast with the impatience of his subordinates.
Sakaguchi Ango always seemed to display a calmness and reliability far beyond his age and experience, and this time was no exception. His arrival was like a reassurance to the others present.
"First, try to destroy the photos online. Things like that cannot be circulated on the Internet. As for the rest, Chief Taneda means that we can just deal with them as ordinary ghost stories."
Sakaguchi Ango calmly gave orders, restoring the somewhat chaotic machine room to order.
Having received accurate instructions, government employees finally got down to work, and each procedure was carried out in an orderly manner.
Daichi Yamaguchi followed his boss out of the somewhat depressing office. This was a rare opportunity for him to take a breath.
"Mr. Sakaguchi, this way of handling things might be a little bit..." Yamaguchi Daichi anxiously expressed his doubts to Sakaguchi Ango, using the most tactful words possible.
"This is Commander Taneda's order. It is also the best strategy for the Special Ability Division."
Sakaguchi Ango had no intention of continuing to explain, so Yamaguchi Daichi had no choice but to return to his post in disappointment.
“I hope the situation we faced won’t repeat itself.”
The ruins caused by gunpowder and supernatural powers flashed through the mind of the young member of the Special Forces Division, and Sakaguchi Ango involuntarily clutched the edge of the briefcase, as if he were grasping a life-saving straw.

On the top of the port mafia building, someone's mind was also being affected by Michel Ende's series of actions.
"…It is suspected to have no effect on ordinary people." Mori Ogai stared at the last page of the intelligence, which was the definition given by the analysts of the port mafia intelligence department on the photo circulating on the Internet and the plants in the photo.
The man tapped rhythmically on the smooth tabletop and continued reading.
He was originally very interested in the flower, but the government guys were extremely efficient at this time, so the port mafia could only obtain some intelligence with a delay.
"A childlike king? I wonder if it will be a cute little girl."
Mori Ogai's thoughts were scattered randomly, causing the humanoid mutant who was playing with a puzzle next to him to throw the puzzle away and said unhappily, "Rintaro is thinking about something bad again!"
"No, don't be like this, Alice!"
A new chase began, and of course it ended with the men signing a series of unequal treaties, while one of them had a lot of fun with his humanoid special abilities.
"Boom boom boom"
There was a sudden knock on the office door. It was a subordinate who came to report.
The visitor seemed to be accustomed to this scene. He stood in front of Sen Ou very calmly, ready to report his new findings to the intelligence department.
A member of the Port Mafia in a suit handed in a report. Mori Ogai glanced at it briefly and his eyes immediately became sharp.
"You mean that's the real name?"
"Yes, after our investigation, we found that the name Michel Ende really exists, and we also found many clues based on this name."
The member of the intelligence department spoke with some pride, but soon his expression became more solemn.
The use of her real name by this child, known as the "Queen of Innocence," was not so much incredible as it was a considerable degree of audacity.
After receiving the information, Mori Ouwai still found it hard to believe, but the well-documented black and white statements on the document forced him to acknowledge the fact.
In the information, the life story of the child who called himself Mitchell Ender was clearly listed.
The intelligence officer's voice was calm and emotionless as he narrated.
"... He is a German. His parents died. He was adopted by a drama troupe. After playing the role of the King of Fantasy in a drama, he became famous and was called the 'King' by his fans. However, the troupe mysteriously disappeared on their way to a performance 80 years ago. Theoretically, he is already dead."
"But," the intelligence officer changed the subject, "in our subsequent investigation, we found that although the matter of the drama troupe was handled relatively flawlessly, an organization called 'Wuyou Township' still appeared. If the current tracking intelligence is correct, we boldly speculate that this child named Mitchell Ender is a member of 'Wuyou Township'."
Mori Ou flipped through a few pages and accurately turned to the part he wanted to read. At the back was information about the "Wuyou Township", but there was only a thin piece of paper and a few words.
When the intelligence officer found out that Mori Ogai had seen this, he looked very embarrassed and guilty.
But the man did not blame him, but looked into the distance thoughtfully.
"The Land of the Utopians?"
Mori Ougai thought for a moment, then considerately asked his subordinate, who was already sweating, to go down and rest, and then made a phone call.
"Inform the members of the logistics department to go to Zongji Temple on time and make sure the goods are transported back intact."
After hanging up the phone, the bird's back was still tense, like an anaconda that was quickly moving on the branches, ready to ambush at any time because its back had invaded its territory.
Everything seemed to be going as he wanted.
The cooperation between Sojiji Temple and the Port Mafia is still a victory for the Port Mafia, and the Special Ability Section took the lead in covering up the matter of Michel Ende as he expected, instead of showing a malicious face that wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
But Mori Ogai still felt uneasy. No matter what, as long as Michel Ender was in Yokohama, he would definitely be a very unstable factor.
The man glanced out the window inadvertently and saw another stream of black smoke drifting in the direction of Tokyo.
But when he looked closely, there was only the clear blue sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The special agent with special abilities who was in charge of picking up the group from Haiyin Temple drove silently in front.
Haiyinsi Suyou doesn't know him, but this is also a very normal phenomenon. Although his parents are members of the Special Ability Section, due to the nature of his work, Haiyinsi Suyou doesn't know many of his parents' colleagues.
Seeing that the man had no intention of talking to him, and Haiyin Temple Suyou was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to talk to others, they arrived at their destination in silence.
The man motioned Haiyinsi Suyou to follow him, and led the way with an expressionless face.
The corridor of the Special Ability Division is very long and quiet, and the space inside seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the area outside.
Perhaps it was because the rooms on both sides were decorated in a uniform and symmetrical manner, and because every step taken by the special ability agent team member leading the way seemed to have been carefully measured by the deficit, the corridor seemed to be constantly looping, making it difficult to tell where it led.
They passed many doors that looked exactly the same, and the almost featureless decoration made it extremely difficult to find their way around.
During the trip back to Haiyin Temple, I reluctantly wrote down some road features in case of emergency.
He could vaguely feel that they seemed to be walking slowly downwards, and although they turned many bends, the downward trend had never changed.
The live broadcast continues.
[Wow, it’s the live broadcast of this black-haired guy again. I didn’t dare to watch his last live broadcast. It’s great that he is still alive]
[If you didn’t watch the last live broadcast, you really missed a billion. The amount of information in the last live broadcast was simply huge, and it would be unreasonable not to watch it]
[What? I also missed yesterday's live broadcast, what's going on now?]
[Anyway, just read the analysis in the comments section. He is currently in the Special Ability Division. I guess it was Fukuzawa Yukichi who set up the connection.]
[Wait, is there such a place in the Special Ability Division?]
[I remember that there was a large unmarked space underground in the building model of the Special Ability Division that was officially released before. When I was building it, I was very confused as to why there was a large gray area underneath.]
[Everyone, please go to the official account! ]
[Howl again, check out the latest official design drawings of the Special Ability Division! ]
The barrage seemed to have stopped because of these two pieces of information. Haiyin Temple's steps paused slightly, and before being noticed by the man leading the way in front, he continued walking as usual.
[I came back after watching it. The Special Ability Unit actually has a prison and research institute hidden underground]
[! ! ! ]
[Is this true? Tsk, the black-haired guy is really unlucky]
"Excuse me, where are we going?" Haiyinsi Suyou pretended to be confused and asked the man who was leading the way.
Although I sometimes doubt the authenticity of the barrage, the fact that he led me deeper underground without saying a word is too suspicious.
There was no response, as if his guide couldn't hear him at all.
Haiyinsi Suyou frowned imperceptibly, reached into his pocket, and felt his cell phone, which made him feel a little better.
He carefully covered his phone with his hand and secretly typed a text message.
However, the slowdown in his pace seemed to have attracted the attention of the members of the Special Ability Section.
When I pressed the send button, a man's voice suddenly rang out.
