The call connected, but before Nick Fury could say anything, the other person spoke first.
"Nick, did the YouTuber who made that Honkai Impact series successfully bring it back to China?"
Nick Fury: Huh?
He hasn't even sent anyone out yet, and you're already asking if the operation was successful? Isn't that a bit too hasty?
"It's currently in the planning stages."
"Hurry up with the progress."
After saying that, the person on the other end of the communication was about to hang up, but Nick Fury couldn't let the scapegoat get away so easily, so he quickly asked.
"Please wait a moment, Ms. Cleo. Since Honkai energy seems to be more dangerous than expected, S.H.I.E.L.D. would like to consult you on whether to continue researching Honkai energy."
"What?"
The woman on the other end of the communication, wearing a wolf-shaped mask, was taken aback when she heard Nick Fury's words, and then said dismissively.
"It's such a small matter, you can decide for yourself."
Nick Fury persisted, speaking seriously.
"I still hope to get your opinion."
The woman Nick Fury referred to as "Ms. Cleo" also fell silent. She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood that Nick Fury was using her as a shield.
However, she didn't care. She had already tested it and found that this world was not within the system of the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta, which meant that this world did not have a civilization trial mechanism like Collapse.
What can Nick Fury and his team research with their limited collection of non-renewable Honkai energy samples?
Thinking of this, Cleo casually remarked.
"Since you insist on it, then let's continue the research."
"But remember this: you absolutely must bring that content creator back to me!!!"
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Heavenly Sword Bureau Meeting and Su Yu's Reward Draw
Aside from S.H.I.E.L.D., the only agency in the world that has ever been invaded by monsters from the Honkai world, Sky Sword Agency, is currently discussing Su Yu with its high-ranking members after watching "The Second Honkai Impact."
In the Shanghai branch of the Tianjian Bureau, branch leader Lin Xi is holding an online meeting.
Unlike previous meetings held within the Shanghai branch, this meeting was of a higher level, with all eligible attendees being branch heads from various regions and senior personnel from headquarters.
Therefore, this time, Bai Zhi, who was supposed to leak information to Su Yu, was unable to sneak in and eavesdrop.
"Everyone, I believe we have all reached a clear understanding of today's topic. First of all, let's share our thoughts on this mysterious figure, Su Yu. It would be a good way to gather everyone's ideas."
During the video conference, an elderly man with white hair and beard, who looked very venerable, spoke first.
This person is the director of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, surnamed Lin. As for his specific name, very few people know it; everyone just calls him Director Lin.
Since the bureau chief had spoken, the subordinates naturally couldn't refuse and began to express their own thoughts.
"Why don't we just arrest him and torture him to extract a confession?"
The Heavenly Sword Bureau is not a charitable organization. In most cases, they will try their best to conceal their tracks and resolve their problems through legal means when circumstances permit.
But when faced with a truly difficult problem, resorting to underhanded tactics like arresting people is commonplace.
The person who made this suggestion clearly does this kind of thing often.
"This suggestion won't work."
However, this proposal was immediately rejected by Director Lin as soon as it was put forward.
"Wan Tianyi predicted that making enemies of the other side is the worst option. Our topic today is to discuss how to get along with Su Yu under this premise. What kind of relationship will there be between him, his videos, and the Collapse Emperor who descended upon Shanghai?"
After he said that, the murmurs among the crowd grew even louder.
"If we can't arrest him directly, could we send someone with hypnosis-like abilities to secretly contact him and then seize the opportunity to extract information?"
"Hmm? If you get caught, won't you still become their enemy?"
No one, not even a saint, can remain at peace with a power that is trying to hypnotize them.
"What you're saying is, just send the most capable person, as long as they aren't discovered, isn't that enough?"
"Isn't the risk a bit too great? Even Wan Tianyi predicted that it's best not to make enemies with them."
"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch? What if a monster like the Honkai Emperor descends into reality and it turns out to be Su Yu's doing? Wouldn't we be putting the people in danger if we did nothing?"
"Isn't S.H.I.E.L.D. also determined to get Su Yu because of that Titan mech? Why don't we just hold back a little and let their people test the waters for us?"
"What? You want to let foreign devils in? You want to commit treason?"
"Damn it, don't jump to conclusions. I just wanted to use them to test Su Yu."
"Testing them won't work either! Those foreign devils have ulterior motives; who knows what bad things they're up to? I disagree, I absolutely disagree!"
"..."
The participants in this video conference were of all ages, with different ideas and from different regions and factions. Before long, they started arguing among themselves.
On one hand, they wanted to let S.H.I.E.L.D. operate freely, but on the other hand, they slapped a traitor's label on them, making for quite a scene.
If it were an in-person meeting instead of a video conference, these people would probably have already started fighting!
The argument went on for a long time until finally someone came up with a solution that was barely acceptable to all parties.
"How about we compromise? We can still keep S.H.I.E.L.D. people out of the country, but we can send someone to impersonate them and test this Su Yu, what do you think?"
"That's a good idea."
"I agree."
"I second that, but we need to be discreet, and the imposter must be absolutely reliable, the kind who would be willing to sacrifice for the greater good if necessary."
"As long as foreign devils aren't allowed in, I'll agree."
"agree."
"..."
Of the high-ranking officials from the Heavenly Sword Bureau who attended the meeting, only Lin Xi voted against the proposal, aside from a few who abstained. Everyone else voted in favor of it.
Given this huge disparity in numbers, Lin Xi's opinion alone clearly couldn't change the situation.
Director Lin approved the proposal on the spot and immediately sent people to prepare it.
Of course, with so many big names coming together for an online meeting, it's impossible that they're only discussing this one issue.
Following this, discussions were held regarding the relationship between Honkai energy, the arrival of the Honkai Emperor in reality, and Su Yu's video, as well as how to most efficiently and quickly resolve the issue if Honkai Beasts continue to descend in the future.
However, by the end of the meeting, nothing useful had been discussed.
After the meeting, the senior members of the Tianjian Bureau all left the online video, until only Lin Xi and Director Lin remained.
Only then did Lin Xi speak up with a hint of complaint.
"Grandpa, do you really want to agree to their plan? I don't think Su Yu is a bad person. At least he's behaving himself now and doesn't seem dangerous."
That's right, Director Lin of the Heavenly Sword Bureau is actually Lin Xi's biological grandfather. Lin Xi's ability to become the head of the Shanghai branch at such a young age is one aspect, but her family background has undeniably played a certain role in helping her.
“The vast majority of people voted in favor. Even if I am the director, I cannot ignore the opinions of so many people.” Director Lin sighed and continued, “Besides, this Su Yu is indeed an unstable factor. If we don’t investigate him thoroughly, not only will they be at ease, but even I will not be able to rest easy.”
"But what about Wan Tianyi's prediction? Even if we send someone to probe and harass us in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., we can't guarantee that it won't be discovered, can we?"
Upon hearing Lin Xi's words, Director Lin's eyes lit up. Instead of answering, he asked Lin Xi a question.
"I remember Xiaoxi, you have a kid under you who's on good terms with that Su Yu, right?"
Lin Xi: "Huh? You mean Angelica dahurica?"
"It's not that it's bad, it's just that Xiao Baizhi handled the situation when the Honkai Emperor descended, and was eventually saved by Su Yu. Afterwards, Xiao Baizhi went to Su Yu's house to thank him once."
Director Lin nodded.
"That's enough. Compared to the others in the Heavenly Sword Bureau, Bai Zhi and Su Yu are already connected."
"So next, you'll bring Bai Zhi to headquarters to carry out a mission. Leave the matters at the branch to others for now."
Lin Xi: ? ? ?
Lin Xi was a little confused by her grandfather's words. Wasn't this supposed to be about Su Yu? How did it get to this?
However, she quickly realized what her grandfather meant.
"If someone else impersonates S.H.I.E.L.D. to test Su Yu and succeeds, everything will be fine; if they fail, then Bai Zhi and I, who are completely unaware of the situation, will be the ones to contact them, right?"
Director Lin smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's it."
"Never put all your eggs in one basket. Only by betting on both sides can you remain invincible."
Lin Xi: ......
......
Su Yu was unaware of all this; he was currently busy trying to draw the mysterious reward that would be given after "The Second Collapse" reached 500 million clicks.
Originally, Su Yu, considering his unlucky nature, planned to ask Alicia to help him draw the gacha.
Unfortunately, although Alicia retained the ability to interfere with reality, she couldn't see Su Yu's system at all, let alone participate in the lottery. In the end, Su Yu had to do it himself.
