Chapter 502: Dark Star Bureau

Yuezhou East Station, Platform 96.

Li Li Banfeng got off the train and scanned the platform carefully.

He was a bit hurried when he came to this platform last time, and he didn't look carefully. At that time, Li Li Banfeng didn't buy anything to eat, and there was no food on the train. Behind him was a deputy captain of the Dark Star Bureau who insisted on shooting him.

Now this deputy captain is gone, but the Dark Star Bureau still sent people.

Bureau Chief Shen Shen Jingye came, and Security Team Captain Chen Changrui came.

Shen Shen Jingye stepped forward first to shake hands: "Little Li, you've worked hard."

This is the technique of language. Just this one sentence can reflect the care of an elder and the majesty of a superior. In the subsequent exchanges, Shen Shen Jingye can naturally take the initiative.

Li Li Banfeng shook Shen Shen Jingye's hand, nodded and said: "Little Wang, you've worked hard too."

Shen Shen Jingye was stunned for a moment and said: "My surname is not Wang."

"Then what is your surname?" Li Li Banfeng asked very sincerely.

Tang Yuan hurriedly introduced on the side: "This is our Bureau Chief Shen."

Li Li Banfeng nodded and said: "So it's Little Shen. How is the situation in the bureau?"

Shen Shen Jingye thought for a while and replied: "Quite good."

Li Li Banfeng said: "What is good about it? Let's talk about the specific situation."

Shen Shen Jingye thought for a moment and said: "Fine, let's talk about it on the car."

This is not right.

Why is this person so special?

Even if he is a big shot in Puluo Continent, after arriving in the Outer Continent and meeting such a high-status person, he should at least be a little nervous and constrained, and at least know the basic rules and politeness.

Why does his aura look like he's here to inspect work?

After getting on the business car, Shen Shen Jingye gave a rough introduction to the overall structure of the Dark Star Bureau.

After listening, Li Li Banfeng shook his head slightly: "Just listening to you say this, I still don't have an intuitive understanding of the Dark Star Bureau."

Shen Shen Jingye didn't know how to answer: "How about this, we will take you to visit on the spot in a while."

Arriving at the Dark Star Bureau, Li Li Banfeng looked at the height of the building, which had thirty-six floors.

Shen Shen Jingye took Li Li Banfeng to the exhibition hall first and gave a rough introduction to the history of the Dark Star Bureau.

The history of the Dark Star Bureau is really not long, established only for more than ten years.

But to trace the predecessor of the Dark Star Bureau, this matter is complicated. The predecessor of the Dark Star Bureau had more than a dozen organizations.

The responsibilities of each organization were different. Shen Shen Jingye skipped over it in one sentence, obviously not wanting Li Li Banfeng to know too much.

Leaving the exhibition hall, Shen Shen Jingye took Li Li Banfeng to visit each department, and then organized middle-level and above personnel to

hold a meeting, which was both a welcome for Li Li Banfeng and an arrangement for Li Li Banfeng's next stage of work.

According to past experience, as long as it is someone from Puluo Continent, they cannot adapt to such meetings.

Dozens of people attended the meeting, all staring at a Puluo Continent person.

Every move, every word, was under observation. Anyone who is stared at like this can't stand it. Either they will feel constrained, or they will feel disgusted, or in extreme fatigue, they will ignore all subsequent processes and completely obey the bureau's arrangements.

Of course, there are exceptions. Xiao Xiao Zhenggong was relatively special. After experiencing several meetings in succession, he still insisted on choosing the position of deputy captain of the Security Team, which made Shen Shen Jingye very dissatisfied, but he finally agreed to his request.

This time, Shen Shen Jingye learned a lesson and changed his strategy. He first conducted an in-depth analysis of the current situation and implicitly pointed out the threats Puluo Continent was facing.

These threats all came from the Inner Continent, and Shen Shen Jingye also implicitly pointed out that only they could help Puluo Continent resist the threats from the Inner Continent.

At the same time, he also analyzed the situation from Li Qi's personal perspective, emphasizing that Li Qi's personal destiny, including his industries, forces, and personal safety, were all under their control.

Shen Shen Jingye's speech lasted for thirty-eight minutes. He wanted to make Li Qi understand one truth: whether for the overall interests of Puluo Continent or for Li Qi's personal interests, cherishing the identity of a balancer and strengthening cooperation in work

is Li Qi's only way out.

Li Qi did not show annoyance, nor did he show anger. He listened very seriously.

Next, it was Li Qi's turn to express his position. Shen Shen Jingye had already made plans. He would give Li Qi a few options, arrange a leisurely position for him, let Li Qi live in the Outer Continent under the surveillance of the Dark Star Bureau, and play his due value at critical moments. This is the value and significance a balancer should have.

He also believed that Li Qi would not refuse his arrangement.

Li Li Banfeng took a sip of tea and began to speak.

"Little Shen, judging from your speech material just now, you have put in effort in your work, but there are many problems and omissions in the material. I think it is necessary to point them out here. Looking at the material as a whole, there are three main problems. The first problem includes five aspects..."

Li Qi is different from Shen Shen Jingye. He doesn't need to look at the manuscript when speaking. He has been staring at Shen Shen Jingye's expression.

Shen Shen Jingye looked at Li Li Banfeng with a smile, first showing vague disdain and dissatisfaction, and even mocking Li Qi's overestimation of his own capabilities.

After fifteen minutes, there was no smile on Shen Shen Jingye's face. His gaze stayed on the desktop and he no longer looked directly at Li Li Banfeng's face.

This slope was built very smoothly.

After half an hour, Shen Shen Jingye was sweating. He felt constrained. He always felt that when listening to Li Li Banfeng's speech,

his hands shouldn't be empty.

He picked up the notebook on the side and began to take notes. At first, he just wrote a few strokes casually, but then he wrote more and more seriously.

Li Li Banfeng's speech lasted for a full hour, and Shen Shen Jingye's pen never stopped.

Until Li Li Banfeng finished speaking, Shen Shen Jingye let out a long sigh, his whole body covered in sweat, already soaking his clothes. "Little Shen, is it necessary to be this tired?" Li Li Banfeng drank a sip of tea, "I didn't feel tired when I was speaking. You listened to me, and you can be this tired?"

Shen Shen Jingye was indeed very tired. He sat up straight, leaned forward, only sat on half of the chair, listened to an hour of speech, and also took a notebook full of notes.

After wiping his sweat and resting for a while, Shen Shen Jingye sobered up a bit and let his secretary present a stack of forms to Li Qi.

The forms introduced the scope of responsibilities and benefits of different positions.

The purpose of holding the meeting today was to choose a suitable position for Li Qi. If Shen Shen Jingye had handled serious business earlier and said less useless words, he wouldn't have suffered so much.

Shen Shen Jingye waited for Li Qi's choice. Li Qi suddenly put down the forms, raised his head and looked at him: "I've chosen. The position of Bureau Chief is quite good."

Shen Shen Jingye panicked and shook his head repeatedly: "You can't choose the Bureau Chief. There is no position of Bureau Chief in the form. The Bureau Chief is me. You can't snatch my..."

Halfway through the sentence, it stopped abruptly.

Shen Shen Jingye realized he had lost his composure.

Li Qi couldn't snatch the position of Bureau Chief with one sentence.

This was a joke; how could it be taken seriously?

Now that he took it seriously, his face didn't look good.

Li Qi sighed: "Little Shen, you take official positions very seriously. I didn't say I wanted to snatch your position.

These positions in your form are not very suitable for me. I want to be a Deputy Bureau Chief. Do you think it's okay?"

Shen Shen Jingye said blankly: "This is not something I can decide alone..."

"Then you guys study it slowly. I'll take the car back to Puluo Continent tomorrow. Notify me when you have a result." Li Qi left the conference room.

Chen Changrui looked at Li Qi's back, his eyes trembling slightly.

He always felt that this figure was familiar, but he didn't dare to confirm it because of the great changes.

Others looked at Shen Shen Jingye.

Shen Shen Jingye's face was livid. He didn't say the meeting was over, and others didn't dare to leave.

Ghost Hand Sect headquarters, in Xie Xie Juncong's bedroom, He He Jiaqing was holding a roast chicken and wolfing it down.

Xie Xie Juncong prepared a large table of wine and dishes, serving carefully on the side. He He Jiaqing finished eating,

and asked: "Where is Big Head?"

"Are you talking about that friend from the Outer Continent?" Xie Xie Juncong said, "He came last night. You hadn't woken up yet. He said he would come to see you tonight."

He He Jiaqing drank a pot of wine, gasped for a while and said: "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have thought of coming to find me, right?"

Xie Xie Juncong didn't dare to lie: "We really didn't know you were in trouble."

He He Jiaqing looked at Xie Xie Juncong with cold light in his eyes: "You think Big Head knew? You think I was in trouble,

and he would tell you specifically? Why did only Big Head know to find me?"

Xie Xie Juncong didn't dare to say more. He He Jiaqing asked people to clear the table, lay on the bed, and went to sleep again.

At night, Big Head came, and He He Jiaqing also woke up.

Seeing Big Head, He He Jiaqing wanted to perform a grand ceremony, but was stopped by Big Head: "We are brothers. I should save you."

He He Jiaqing sighed and said: "You are my true brother. Without you, my life would definitely be gone. How did you know I was trapped in the Jiangxiang Gang headquarters?"

Big Head told his investigation process. When he mentioned the news of Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's death, He He Jiaqing was very shocked: "Li Qi killed Xiao Xiao Zhenggong? Xiao Xiao Zhenggong was a balancer, and Li Qi just killed him like that?"

Big Head nodded: "The current balancer is Li Qi."

He He Jiaqing widened his eyes: "Li Qi became the balancer? Didn't you say that a balancer must have dealings with the Inner Continent?"

Big Head said: "According to the investigation of the Border Defense Hall, Li Qi indeed has dealings with the Inner Continent. When Saintly Virtue Peak was destroyed, Li Qi saved many people near Base Person Ridge."

"Saintly Virtue Peak was destroyed?" He He Jiaqing felt even more surprised.

Big Head was also very surprised: "I heard from the foreign doctor Cui Cui Tike that you also participated in this matter."

"I participated?" He He Jiaqing had a not-so-good premonition.

Big Head said: "Some people suspect that you snatched the Saint's jade seal, saying you were the biggest beneficiary of that incident."

"I benefited..." He He Jiaqing's eyebrows jumped straight. After calming down for a long time, he asked, "What other things have I participated in during this period?"

Big Head shook his head: "I only know this much for now. Other matters might need to be asked of that foreign doctor."

He He Jiaqing organized his thoughts and asked again: "Because Li Qi killed Xiao Xiao Zhenggong and has dealings with the Inner Continent, he became the balancer?"

"That's not it. During this period, a new balancer appeared, called Chen Chen Weixin, but this balancer disappeared for some reason. Li Qi was able to become the balancer mainly because of the Profound Life Red Lotus incident."

He He Jiaqing was shocked: "The Profound Life Red Lotus was exposed?"

"Yes, the Profound Life Red Lotus had been hidden in the residence of the Earth Deity of Ye Ye Songqiao and was discovered by General Envoy Liao."

"Earth Deity of Ye Ye Songqiao?" He He Jiaqing didn't understand again, "Are you talking about the Profound Life Red Lotus?"

Big Head recounted the Ye Ye Songqiao incident. He He Jiaqing was completely confused.

The Profound Life Red Lotus found in the Earth Deity's residence can summon Heavenly Light and use human flesh and blood to refine pills.

What is the situation with the red lotus I gave to Li Li Banfeng?

How did two red lotuses pop up?

This world is changing too fast.

He He Jiaqing looked at Big Head and asked: "This is Puluo Continent, right?"

Big Head was stunned: "Where do you think this is?"

He He Jiaqing said: "I was locked underground for too long, and I feel like I came to the wrong place."

"The place is definitely not wrong, but there are some details I might not understand enough. You can ask your aunt He He Yuxiu. She is one of the eyewitnesses of the incident, and she seems to have a very special relationship with Li Qi."

"They don't have a special relationship!" He He Jiaqing's veins jumped, and then he asked Big Head, "How long can you stay in Puluo Continent?"

"Actually, it's time for me to return. I plan to leave Puluo Continent the day after tomorrow."

He He Jiaqing said: "After you go back, you must tell me Li Qi's recent situation."

Big Head reminded: "According to General Envoy Liao's latest investigation results, Li Qi and your friend Li Li Banfeng are not the same person."

"Not the same person?" He He Jiaqing laughed, "You don't need to care whether they are the same person. Just remember one thing: this person Li Qi is very important to me."

"This person Li Qi is very important, he must be kept, don't haggle over minor details with him," Shen Shen Jingye received instructions from his superiors. The next day, he received a new appointment document, and Li Qi officially became the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Dark Star Bureau.

The benefits of the Deputy Bureau Chief were not bad, with a duplex residence, a car, and because Li Li Banfeng didn't have a mobile phone, he was specially equipped with a mobile phone and a satellite phone.

At night, Li Li Banfeng came to the duplex residence, took out the phonograph given to him by Ling Ling Miaosheng from his suitcase, and played music toward the mobile phone and satellite phone. He played a song more than a dozen times, and the sound didn't change pitch.

There was no hook on the phone?

Li Li Banfeng walked through every room, and the music never changed pitch, and there were no hooks in the room.

The Dark Star Bureau didn't arrange hooks here? They don't want to monitor me?

There is actually such a good thing?

Li Li Banfeng felt the situation was strange, and suddenly saw the projector light up on the side.

He created a picture. In the picture, Li Li Banfeng sat on the sofa, and Li Li Banfeng, who was walking around with the phonograph, was covered.

What's the situation?

Li Li Banfeng looked at the projector strangely.

The projector replied: "Seventh Director, there are my kind in this room."

His kind.

Li Li Banfeng patted his forehead. His thinking hadn't shifted.

In the Outer Continent, you don't necessarily have to hang hooks. There is another thing called a camera.

The projector was extremely sensitive to lenses. He sensed a total of eleven cameras in the duplex residence.

"Seventh Director, don't speak yet. The technology of the Outer Continent is very strange. These kinds of mine can actually collect sound, and they can also transmit images and sounds through some means.

These kinds of mine don't seem to be used for filming movies. I'd better deal with them." Every word the projector said, these cameras couldn't hear, but Li Li Banfeng couldn't speak easily.

The projector hovered in mid-air and cast the skill of withering on every camera.

The cameras first disappeared, and then returned to their original places.

"Seventh Director, don't worry anymore. These kinds of mine in the Outer Continent have all become my friends. From now on, they will only transmit the pictures I want them to see and the sounds I want them to hear."

"Do you need to stay in this room all the time?"

The projector was very confident: "No need. These new friends are very obedient. Even if I'm not here, they know what they should do."

This should be considered a technical contest between Puluo Continent and the Outer Continent.

Li Li Banfeng sighed. Having stayed in Puluo Continent for too long, he still needed some time to adapt to life in the Outer Continent.

The mobile phone rang, and Li Li Banfeng answered it.

The security team member on duty tonight, Brick, issued a notice: An unknown creature appeared in a residential building in the Garden Community on Qingzhou Road, White Plains District, suspected to be a Dark Energy Alien, which has caused one death, and sixteen other residents are trapped in the building, requiring all security team members to rush to the scene immediately.

Dark Energy Alien?

What kind of term is this?

Does Yuezhou City have this kind of thing?

He is not a member of the security team, so he doesn't have to participate in this kind of thing, but Li Li Banfeng decided to go and take a look.

He wanted to know what the Dark Energy Alien was, and also wanted to see the quality of the Dark Star Bureau's security team.

Although Light Bulb's combat power is not high, he is just a newcomer to the Dark Star Bureau. According to Li Li Banfeng's estimation, the overall combat power of the Dark Star Bureau's security team should not be inferior to the Border Defense Hall and should exceed a powerful family or a first-class gang in Puluo Continent.

The Dark Energy Alien they mentioned should be an extremely powerful cultivator, or a strange monster at the level of Madam Madame Suoe.

Could it be a purebred Inner Continent person?

Only by seeing it can he know the answer.

White Plains District, Qingzhou Road.

Li Li Banfeng knew this place, and he had lived in Yuezhou for a long time.

Coming to the Outer Continent, he had to adapt to the lifestyle of the Outer Continent. Going to Qingzhou Road, if taking the subway, he had to transfer several times, which seemed a bit far.

Why take the subway? I have a car!

But I don't know how to drive, and they haven't assigned me a driver.

Li Li Banfeng had driven a steamroller in Blue Yang Village, but the driving method of a steam steamroller and a car was not quite the same.

Just walk there. With Li Li Banfeng's current speed, walking is much faster than driving.

But this is not Puluo Continent. Running wildly on the city road in the middle of the night, will it cause trouble?

Take a side road?

Having not returned for two years, Yuezhou has changed a lot, and some roads might not be recognized.

Having lived in Yuezhou for twenty years, Li Li Banfeng never thought this place would make him feel so strange.

It's still safer to drive.

Who can drive?

Actually, driving is just manipulating a machine. For those who understand the technique, it's not difficult.

Li Li Banfeng returned to the Carry-Along Residence: "Old Man, I want to take the Wife out for a walk."

The Carry-Along Residence snorted: "In the middle of the night, going out for a walk? Not allowed!"

"The night view of the Outer Continent is quite good. I'll take the Wife to see something fresh." While speaking, Li Li Banfeng took out an electric toy train, turned on the switch, put it on the ground, and it ran.

The train laughed: "What is this thing? You take this to deal with me?"

Li Li Banfeng took out a second toy train, and the two trains raced together in the Carry-Along Residence.

The Carry-Along Residence sighed: "Ah Seven, it's fine to laugh and play with you usually, but this kind of thing cannot be child's play. Put away all this junk; I don't want to look at it for even a second."

Li Li Banfeng took out the third train.

Woo!

Three trains whistled together.

The Carry-Along Residence was angry: "Ah Seven, what do you want me to say about you? Do you really treat me as a doll?"

Two minutes later, Li Li Banfeng hugged the phonograph and left the Carry-Along Residence.

The phonograph scanned Li Li Banfeng's residence: "Hey Husband, this house in the Outer Continent is not much different from Puluo Continent."

"It's very different. There isn't even a courtyard, but the price is ridiculously high."

Li Li Banfeng was carrying the phonograph and was about to go out when the projector reminded: "Seventh Director, there are my kind outside."

There were cameras in the corridor, cameras in the elevator, cameras all the way to the parking lot, and even cameras in Li Li Banfeng's car.

The projector turned these kinds of his into friends and got into the car with Li Li Banfeng.

The phonograph sat in the driver's seat, studied for a few minutes, and said to Li Li Banfeng: "Husband, this machine in the Outer Continent is not quite the same as Puluo Continent. I have no bottom in my heart."

Li Li Banfeng sat in the passenger seat and encouraged the phonograph: "Precious Wife, you are clever and skillful. A mere car is easy for you."

The phonograph started the car with a stylus, one stylus controlled the gear lever, one stylus controlled the accelerator and brake, and the remaining stylus controlled the steering wheel.

The projector made a disguise in the back seat, hiding the phonograph and putting Li Li Banfeng in the driver's seat, so that passersby wouldn't discover the abnormality.

"Husband, I'm going to drive..." The phonograph was very nervous.

"Go, Wife, it's not difficult at all."

"Husband, I drive very slowly."

"It's okay. If we really can't make it in time, I'll run there."

After driving for less than ten minutes, the phonograph was no longer nervous.

"Husband, this thing is more interesting than a train. It doesn't have to run along the tracks!"

"Yes, Wife, you can run however you want!"

"Husband, there's no one on the road ahead. I'm going to drive faster!"

"Wife, you can drive as fast as you want."

White Plains District, Qingzhou Road, Garden Community.

It's called a community, but it's actually just one residential building.

This residential building should have been demolished long ago. Only five households were left in the building, totaling more than ten people, all of whom were trapped in the building tonight.

At the entrance of the building stood a bundle of straw mats.

Beside the straw mats lay a star, Sun Sun Haoran.

Tang Yuan drove over. The area around the community was cordoned off. Seeing the star lying on the ground, Tang Yuan was about to step forward to rescue him, but was stopped by Light Bulb.

Tang Yuan frowned: "Why are you stopping me?"

Light Bulb said: "Don't underestimate this bundle of straw mats. It has extremely fast speed, and we can't get close to it at all."

Tang Yuan said: "Did you take action?"

Light Bulb nodded: "The star and I arrived first. We originally wanted to wait for support, but some residents ran out of the building. Seeing that they were about to be beaten to death by this straw mat, the star and I discussed taking action first.

This straw mat is not afraid of bullets. I estimate that the best way to deal with it is to use fire. I prepared to spray oil on the straw mat first, and then let the star go up to set fire, but the oil I sprayed went out, and the star didn't light the fire and was knocked over by the straw mat."

Tang Yuan looked at the star and said: "Is the star still alive?"

The star heard Tang Yuan's voice, opened his eyes, and moved his eyeballs slightly, indicating that he was still alive.

Light Bulb said to Tang Yuan: "According to my visual estimation, outside of ten meters from this bundle of straw mats, it will not take the initiative to attack.

Within the ten-meter range, as long as you lie down and pretend to be dead, it will not take the initiative to attack.

If the distance is within ten meters and you move around, it will beat you to death, until you are beaten to death. Before we arrived, an old lady was beaten to death in the corridor. The residents saw the corpse and reported it to the police, and we rushed over.

Now the residents' emotions are very unstable. It seems there are other things in this building. They might rush out again. What we can do now is to maintain the order of the scene, not let irrelevant people approach this building, and then wait for support..."

Light Bulb's voice became smaller and smaller.

Creak, creak.

The straw mat walked toward Light Bulb and Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan said: "Didn't you say that outside the ten-meter range, the straw mat won't take the initiative to attack?"

Light Bulb nodded: "From my observation angle, it is like this."

The straw mat got closer and closer. Tang Yuan prepared to use techniques, but Light Bulb reminded: "What technique do you want to use? Searching for ink? That move of yours doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. The star is still lying there. Don't pit him."

As soon as the words fell, the straw mat swept over, hitting Light Bulb.

Light Bulb reacted extremely quickly, slid his feet, and dodged the straw mat's blow.

The straw mat turned around to attack Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan couldn't dodge it.

Seeing the straw mat sweeping toward Tang Yuan's face, a muffled sound was suddenly heard, and the straw mat suddenly flew to a distance.

Tang Yuan didn't know why the straw mat flew away, and Light Bulb didn't know the reason either.

Seeing the straw mat more than thirty meters away, Light Bulb hurriedly rushed up and helped the star up.

The injured star hadn't stood firm yet when the straw mat rushed back,

Light Bulb wanted to take the star and run away, but the straw mat's speed was much faster, hitting the back of their heads.

Bang!

Another muffled sound.

The straw mat flew out again.

Tang Yuan looked around. She realized this was not an accident; this was someone saving them.

A person was standing on the rain awning of the corridor.

Tang Yuan's eyes lit up: "Seventh Brother!"

Light Bulb was happy in his heart: "It really is Seventh Brother."

The star didn't understand: "What brother?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at the straw mat and said: "Keep hitting, it's coming back again."

PS: Li Li Banfeng changed his understanding of Light Bulb. Among these three people, he can be counted as top-level combat power. ===== CHAPTER 503 =====

Lightbulb felt a surge of joy: "It really is Brother Brother Qiye."

Mingxing didn't understand: "Which brother?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at the straw mat and said: "Keep hitting it, it's back again."

PS: Li Li Banfeng has changed his perception of Lightbulb; among these three people, he can be considered top-tier combat strength.
