Chapter 288 The Bureau of Demonic Censors Building

Stepping inside the Demon Surveillance Bureau building, an indescribable sense of solemnity washes over you.

The lobby floor was paved with smooth, mirror-like tiles. In a corner of the lobby, several renovation workers could be seen carefully repairing damage. Several detectives walked past them without disturbing each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

The detective walked towards them, greeted Shangguan Su and Chang Lei, then glanced curiously at Tang Zijun and the others before disappearing around the corner.

"This must be your first time here. Since it was completed, it has only been shown to the public once, at the last press conference."

As they walked, Shangguan Su began to explain. When they passed the wall that the workers were repairing, Shangguan Su sighed again.

"You've probably heard about what happened recently. The Bureau of the Demon Suppression was infiltrated and attacked by the Shadow Clan. It suffered a very serious attack. Although no agents were injured, our data and equipment were damaged to some extent, and some of the damage has not yet been fully repaired."

"I know, it's the Shadow Calamity, right?" Tang Cao blinked and turned to look at Qin Nan. "Sister Nan was here too."

"Yes." Qin Nan nodded gently. "Many of the sisters were here at the time. We worked together to defeat the Shadow Clan's invasion."

"The Shadow Clan will return," Shangguan Su chimed in. "The fact that this disaster was brought under control is the result of the efforts of multiple forces. Although we don't know why the power of the Shadows eventually subsided, we still cannot let our guard down."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nan secretly glanced at Tang Zijun, while Tang Zijun turned her gaze to one side of the hall, where a long row of reception desks stood.

Many agents in charge of reception were sitting there, busy handling various matters. They were wearing the uniforms of the Magic Bureau and their hands were constantly typing on the keyboard.

"That's the only place the Demon Surveillance Bureau receives visitors," Shangguan Su explained, noticing Tang Zijun's gaze. "Because of the matter concerning the Heretical Demons and the Shadow Clan, we've opened a hotline to the public, urging people across the country to actively report and provide clues about these evil creatures."

"Actually, there were quite a lot of false information and troublemakers at the beginning, but it's much better now," Chang Lei added from the side.

If you continue walking forward, you'll find the elevators that lead to each floor.

This is the most severely damaged area, and also the first place to be repaired. I have to say that the infrastructure talent is really good. From the start of the repair to its completion, it only took one night, and the elevator was working normally again.

The elevator doors were made of silver metal, and the space inside was spacious and bright, with soft lighting casting shadows of everyone on the floor.

As they moved forward, Tang Zijun and the others passed by the agents' office area. Contrary to their expectations, the layout was simple and practical, giving it a very minimalist feel.

Inside the control room, there was a huge long table with many screens of various sizes on it, displaying all kinds of real-time data and information. And that wasn't all there was to the room; Tang Zijun noticed that there were also many screens operating on the walls.

The group made their way to the top floor. Shangguan Su raised her hand and used her fingerprint to unlock a door, and the dark room immediately became bright.

"Come in, this is my private meeting room." Shangguan Su gestured for everyone to enter, her expression still aloof, but without a trace of airs. "Please make yourself at home."

Tang Cao and Tang Zijun were rather reserved; neither of them were the type to be comfortable in such situations. In contrast, Chang Lei and Qin Nan were much more easygoing, and they simply pulled up a chair and sat down.

However, this "rudeness" was not offensive; on the contrary, it made Tang Cao relax a bit. Tang Zijun knew very well that although Tang Cao appeared to be an energetic and beautiful girl, she was actually very nervous inside. This was just a disguise.

After Shangguan Su entered, she did not immediately return to her seat. Instead, she took out her phone and started clicking on it repeatedly. Seeing this, no one disturbed her.

After a while, perhaps having finished her work, Shangguan Su looked up. "Oh, I just sent a team to the scene. The crowd is growing, and we're a bit short-staffed with the agents."

"It's alright, it's alright, don't worry about us." Qin Nan waved her hand and poured a glass of water for everyone.

Shangguan Su accepted the cup and thanked Tang Zijun, then looked at her. "Our research into the surface world is still in its early stages. Many things from these other dimensions are causing intense clashes with our worldview..."

"Director Shangguan, please speak frankly," Tang Zijun said.

"Ahem... I wanted to ask," Shangguan Su stared at Tang Zijun, "How deep is your connection with that train?"

Tang Zijun thought about it seriously. "I can't say exactly how deep the problem is, but I can sense that the train doesn't have any malicious intent towards me or the people around me, and I can give it some simple 'instructions,' or you could call them 'rules.'"

"Rules? Several professors in the bureau have mentioned this before. Does that mean there really are rules in the surface world, like in the legend of rules?" Shangguan Su asked again.

"More or less. We did find something like train rules on the train this time, but whether it's similar to the strange rules we've heard about probably needs further confirmation."

Tang Zijun didn't speak too definitively, after all, this incident was only an isolated case on the train, and he couldn't use one surface world to represent all surface worlds; more verification was needed.

If an agent who listened to the intelligence were to have an accident in another world due to a mistake in intelligence, the problem would be serious. So no matter what, necessary caution is still necessary.

After listening to Tang Zijun's explanation, Shangguan Su nodded thoughtfully.

After a moment, she didn't dwell on the matter any longer.

"We hope you can stay here and cooperate for a while longer. After all, if you're not here, no one else can move that train. It's not good to have such a big train parked on the street."

"Yes, I'll figure out a way to get rid of it in a bit." Tang Zijun nodded quickly.

"No rush. I've already arranged for someone to clear out a suitable location. Once they've cleared the space, you can move the train there. This will be more convenient, and I'll also be able to write one less report."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun had no objection. He had been wondering why she had pulled him away directly instead of having him move the train over here as well. It turned out that Shangguan Su had planned this all along.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The train's origins are unknown and full of uncertainties. Although it doesn't seem to pose any danger, it is, after all, a world full of rulers. Shangguan Su couldn't possibly bring it to the gate of the Demon Supervision Bureau without preparation.

She doesn't want to change the style of the newly renovated building anytime soon.

After a brief pause, Shangguan Su couldn't help but glance at Tang Zijun a couple more times. After adjusting her posture, she placed her hands on the table with her arms crossed.

"Actually, the main reason I called you here was to ask about the Dream World. To be honest, after everything that's happened, quite a few people in the department are quite interested in this. I've already read the reports you submitted before..."

At this point, Shangguan Su looked at Tang Zijun with a strange expression. "How should I put it... your writing is a bit weak."

Tang Zijun:

Upon hearing this, everyone present except Tang Zijun couldn't help but chuckle, and Tang Cao even pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Shangguan Su's expression remained unchanged.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to criticize you. I've looked at your file and know that this is your professional habit. However, the Magic Bureau's action reports have standards. You can go to the bureau's forum to learn about various sample reports when you have time."

Tang Zijun was a little embarrassed. "Ahem, I, I'll definitely be careful."

"I remember you mentioned in your novel...report that you had entered three different dream worlds: a world like reality, a world like an alien planet, and the world you frequently visit now, is that correct?"

"Yes." Tang Zijun did not deny it. "The first time I went in with Qin Nan, we encountered a special giant monster there. The second time I also encountered a creature, let's just call it a creature for now, but I woke up before it could hurt me. As for the world I go to most often now, it's a medieval-style world."

.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Su's gaze suddenly sharpened. "I heard you can bring things from your dreams into reality?"

"That's right." Tang Zijun looked at Shangguan Su with a strange expression. "But let me make this clear first, this is not something I can control, nor can I get whatever I want."

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean for you to put yourself in danger." Shangguan Su was taken aback, then waved her hand. "You are currently the only one who can enter that dimension, your safety is the top priority."

After a pause, Shangguan Su took out a stack of documents from her desk drawer and placed them in front of Tang Zijun. "This is the plan that the expert team from the bureau submitted after discussing your report. Take a look at it first."

Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. To be honest, he knew very well how much exaggeration was in his report. He hadn't written down nine-tenths of his experiences in the dream world.

But what he didn't expect was that his very slight clues would attract such attention from the bureau.

They even devised an executable plan so quickly.

With that thought in mind, Tang Zijun quickly opened the file...
