Chapter 531: Dungeon

"Leon?"

Seeing Leon walk out carrying things less than ten minutes after going in, the female police officer "on duty" at the entrance couldn't help but be slightly startled, asking with some surprise:

"You've finished asking your questions?"

"Mm."

Leon nodded and said:

"I didn't have many questions to ask, so it didn't take long... By the way, that director of your Secret Investigation Bureau, is there anything strange about him?"

Hm? Why ask this suddenly?

Hearing Leon's question, the female police officer hesitated slightly, then spoke:

"Strange things... does personality count? Although he doesn't like to shoulder burdens, he's actually quite reliable when it comes to critical moments..."

"That's not what I'm asking."

Leon shook his head:

"The strange I'm talking about is the more special kind, like physical ability clearly exceeding that of an ordinary person, or having completed missions that were unlikely to be completed, and so on."

"This... doesn't seem to be anything too special..."

The female police officer thought for a while and then shook her head:

"If I really have to say, the director's combat level is very strong, almost no worse than mine, and his shooting scores are also quite good, plus he is very skilled at making arrests..."

Wrong.

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but shake his head.

These all sound like things within the "ordinary person" category and are not related to anomalous objects. The scarred strong man's ability is most likely not any of these.

Hm... thinking about it carefully, that's true. The Cleanup Bureau is just in the corner of the Police Department, separated from the Secret Investigation Bureau by only a few buildings.

Although his own director's sensory ability doesn't seem very strong, with them being this close, if the other party had really used an anomalous object within this distance, they would have definitely been caught by the director long ago...

Watching Leon, whose brows were tightly locked and was clearly pondering something, the female police officer couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"What did you say to her inside? Why did you suddenly ask about the director's affairs?"

Leon hesitated slightly, then spoke directly and laid everything out:

"Because your director is a traitor."

"..."

"Traitor might not be entirely accurate. He probably didn't betray the Secret Investigation Bureau, but was a spy who infiltrated your Secret Investigation Bureau from the very beginning."

"..."

"Stingy!"

Exchanging a look with Leon, who had a "fake serious" expression, and recalling how he had requested to interrogate the prisoner inside alone and refused to let anyone listen in, the female police officer couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and say:

"Forget it if you don't want to say. I wouldn't chase you to ask anyway, why use such witty remarks to brush me off?"

"I'm not brushing you off. Your director really is a spy."

"Mm-hm."

Seeing that Leon was actually still joking with her, the female police officer had no choice but to cooperate and make a "Wow, so that's how it is" expression, then said unhappily:

"Let's go, let's go. Since you've finished your business, we should go find the 'spy' to return the warrant. If it takes too long... why are you pulling me?"

Looking at Leon, who was holding her arm with an exceptionally serious expression on his face, the female police officer finally reacted. The expression on her face changed again and again, and then she said with eyes full of shock:

"You... could the director really be...?!"

"Mm."

Nodding to give a definite answer, Leon pulled the female police officer and walked out quickly. After arriving at the registration area, he first showed her the name on it, then explained what could be said. However, because it was difficult to tell her about the existence of anomalous objects, the explanation was really a bit far-fetched.

But the female police officer had seen Leon's "performance" with her own eyes and knew he had monster-like interrogation abilities. After hesitating repeatedly, she finally barely believed his explanation and muttered with a complex expression:

"No wonder... no wonder the rebels seem to have eyes in the sky. These past two years, they've always been able to avoid our encirclement in advance, and only the director could barely catch their tails... So it turns out..." So you have been played for fools for these past few years.

After filling in the second half of the sentence for her in his heart, Leon instructed:

"Just keep this matter to yourself for now, but don't act rashly yet. That director of yours has some... um... special aspects. The Secret Investigation Bureau alone cannot handle it. For the sake of safety, I plan to return to the Cleanup Bureau first to call for help. You wait here for a while..."

When he said this, looking at the female police officer who looked dejected and had clearly suffered a great blow, Leon couldn't help but pause slightly. Worried that she might act impulsively, he quickly changed his words:

"Forget it, you'd better come with me!"

"Okay..."

Having been a secret police officer for a full few years, constantly fighting against rebels who caused destruction everywhere, only to turn around and find that her own director was actually a rebel, the shock the female police officer suffered was truly too great. At this moment, her brain had basically crashed. Being pulled by Leon, she followed him subconsciously.

However, when the two walked into the stairwell one after the other and went up several flights of stairs, preparing to leave the dungeon, they were both stunned in place.

Nothing else, when they pushed open the door to the stairwell and walked out, what appeared was not the spacious and bright lobby on the first floor of the Secret Investigation Bureau, but a dim and narrow corridor.

The table with the registration form was not far to their right, and Leon even saw the signatures he and the female police officer had just left.

"..."

Alright, no need to guess this time. The scarred director's ability should be exactly this, no doubt about it.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Leon, who roughly understood what had happened, was pondering how he had "exposed" himself, while the female police officer, seeing an anomaly activated for the first time, had been completely stunned by the situation before her.

After rushing into the stairwell while holding Leon's hand, only to see the registration form on the table again, she, unable to understand this kind of situation, was completely bewildered.

"What exactly is going on? Why are there so many identical dungeons?"

"It's not that there are many identical dungeons, but an infinite repetition of one dungeon."

Pointing at the registration form on the table, Leon rubbed his temples and said:

"Before we went up the second time, I folded the bottom right corner of the registration form... look, the crease is still here, so what we are seeing should be the same dungeon."

After finishing his preliminary judgment, Leon reached out and picked up the registration form, then took the initiative to pull the female police officer into the stairwell again.

After the two "went down a floor" again, looking at the table that had lost the registration form, Leon couldn't help but shake his head with slight regret.

"Confirmed, it shouldn't be the kind of dungeon that can be infinitely replicated. It's most likely that the top and bottom of the same dungeon have been connected. We should have been trapped by your director."

The top and bottom of the dungeon... have been connected?

After barely understanding Leon's meaning, the female police officer said with eyes full of shock:

"So... this is the director... this is that person's special aspect?!"

"Yes."

Without saying much more, Leon walked from one end of the dungeon to the other and entered the interrogation room again to take a look. Finding that the female prisoner had disappeared and there were only the two of them in the entire dungeon, he couldn't help but blink his eyes thoughtfully.

"Hold my hand and step back to the side."

After pulling the female police officer to the wall, Leon reached out and pinched the Holy Spirit pendant on his chest, then took a deep breath, condensed an invisible giant hand, and slammed it down toward the dungeon wall!

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a wave of invisible explosions, the wall beside the two exploded, and a large amount of broken bricks mixed with dust splashed everywhere. A huge hole had been opened in the wall.

Carefully poking his head out and looking out through the hole in the wall, but not seeing another identical dungeon, only seeing a deep pit full of mud, Leon's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

I thought it was some amazing ability... just this?
