Chapter 14 The Gears of Fate Begin to Turn
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then said with extreme seriousness:
"That's certainly a possibility, but the situation is currently very complicated, making it difficult to draw a judgment..."
In short, both of your groups should be on high alert.
The issues we just discussed are for our own internal communication only. Let's not let group members become suspicious of each other or engage in conspiracy theories.
"clear."
Team Leader Bai and Han Xinwan said in unison.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said:
"Alright, let's stop with the nonsense and start assigning the investigation tasks."
Yami's side...
Han Xinwan said bluntly:
"Leave Yami's matter to me. I'm more familiar with the situation in Universe 616."
She glanced at Team Leader Bai across from her, and seeing his puzzled expression, she said:
"You must be wondering why I, a 7th-floor manager, am so familiar with the situation on the 6th floor, especially since Dora-Nicole and I are mortal enemies."
For a moment, Team Leader Bai seemed to have thought of something.
But before he could voice his conjecture, Han Xinwan explained the situation:
"Because I come from Universe 616, where I can freely use my abilities."
"I see..." Team Leader Bai bowed slightly to her as a sign of respect.
The middle-aged man then added, "Moreover, Team Leader Han's father was the chosen one of Universe 616."
"this..."
Team Leader Bai's face froze, and he immediately showed a look of astonishment.
Han Xinwan waved her hand dismissively and said:
"Speaking of which, if all else fails, I'll have my dad come back and thoroughly investigate Universe 616..."
The middle-aged man immediately raised his hand to stop him:
"Please don't."
Your father is very busy, so it's best not to let him withdraw easily at this time.
Moreover, with his departure, it will be necessary to find someone else to fill his position.
Personnel changes can easily arouse suspicion.
And so, more and more people found out about it.
"Too..."
After thinking it over, Han Xinwan decided to follow the director's instructions.
The middle-aged man then proceeded to make the arrangements:
"Alright, I'll leave Yamei's case to Han to investigate."
Bai Ye, you go back and arrange for someone to take Xu Lun to the multiverse.
Team Leader Bai and Bai Ye nodded quickly.
"As for which room to choose, you two can discuss it later."
Han Xinwan immediately offered her opinion:
"I think we should choose the 6th floor."
Although it's uncertain which universe those shadowy figures came from, for now, we'll limit our investigation to the area within the 6th floor.
If new leads emerge during later stages of the investigation, adjustments will be made.
Bai Ye nodded: "I think Team Leader Han makes a good point."
The middle-aged man nodded as well:
"Okay, then choose from the rooms on the 6th floor. Just let me know when you've made your selection."
Also, Dora won't be involved in the work on the 6th floor during this period, but if you need to ask her anything, don't go directly to her; let me know first, and I'll go to her.
Bai Ye shrugged, seemingly unconcerned. In his opinion, while Team Leader Nicole did have a bit of a temper, she wasn't that difficult to get along with. As for Team Leader Han...
He glanced at Han Xinwan across from him, only to see her giggling, seemingly not taking the director's words seriously at all.
Bai Ye was a little speechless. Well, he had arrived late after all, and who knew what kind of grudge existed between these two women?
...
After chatting for a while longer, the small meeting came to a complete end.
After the meeting, Bai Ye and Han Xinwan immediately gathered their team members to arrange the work ahead.
at the same time.
In room 708.
Xu Lun sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the vast sea of stars outside the window.
He ate all the food that came from the food truck.
Surprisingly, the taste was alright.
The food cart that was previously placed next to the bed has now been moved away; it was collected by the actual staff from the 7th floor.
The other party also explained to him what had happened before.
From this, Xu Lun learned that the blonde, blue-eyed woman was the building manager from the 6th floor, named Dora Nicole.
The world she lives in, the so-called 616 universe, is under her management.
Including the pink-haired girl he met that night, Masami Uesugi, who was also a staff member on the 6th floor and a subordinate of Dora Nicole.
These messages didn't really stir up much of a ripple in his mind.
From the moment the bracelet was put on me, my worldview has been constantly being refreshed.
By now, he's become somewhat numb.
However, the more he learned, the more thoughts he had.
According to Xu Lun's understanding, this so-called Administration Bureau should be a regulatory body for the multiverse, responsible for handling emergencies that occur in various universes.
Han Xinwan, who had spoken to me before, and Dora-Nicole, are both administrators here, and each of them is responsible for an entire floor of the multiverse.
He didn't know exactly how many multiverses there were on each level, but he felt there were quite a few.
Besides administrators like Han Xinwan, there are many employees on each floor. Everyone has their own duties, and with the administrators as the core of the team, they work together to maintain the normal operation of the multiverse.
Now that something has happened in Universe 616, they will definitely send people there to investigate.
Xu Lun didn't know how much longer he would have to stay here, and whether the Administration Bureau would allow him to go back if he wanted to.
If I really go back, will I still encounter those shadowy figures if I don't remove this bracelet?
At least for now, it seems to him that the people at the Administration Bureau don't really know much about this bracelet.
If she had known better, the administrator named Dora wouldn't have rashly used any mental magic on her.
Even if it were to be used, some preventative measures would be taken to avoid the backlash and being thrown against the wall, as happened back then.
So whether or not this bracelet can be removed, and how to remove it, Xu Lun thinks that the Bureau of Management probably can't provide any solutions for the time being.
Under these circumstances, it's unlikely they'll let me go anytime soon.
Actually, at this point, Xu Lun isn't in a particular hurry to leave.
Although he was initially wary of the place, feeling anxious and wanting to leave as soon as possible.
But after calming down and thinking about it, where could I go if I left here?
Go back to the original world?
Can everything ever go back to the way it was?
Even if we go back, what good will it do?
It's still just as busy and tiring.
My life has always been so boring.
In fact, Xu Lun began to doubt himself the moment he got his hands on the phone.
Staring at the black screen, he couldn't help but think:
What exactly am I expecting?
Even if the phone is turned on and has a signal, will anyone send a message to show concern for you because you are missing?
