4: Join the Psionic Bureau
Meanwhile, in a pure white room at a Spiritual Energy Bureau branch.
Chen Nian sat on a metal chair, his expression calm.
The bloodstains on his body had been cleaned off, and he had changed into a loose gray tracksuit.
He was resting with his eyes closed, feeling the unprecedented, surging power within him.
Several hours had passed since he killed those Demonic Evils, but feeling this formidable power within him, he was still somewhat pleasantly surprised.
Is this the Golden Finger essential for those who undergo Transmigration?
Although it arrived twenty-three years late, its power is just too fierce!
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.
A man and a woman, two Special Agents wearing black uniforms, walked in.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with a steady face and sharp eyes.
The woman was very young, about twenty-five or twenty-six, with a ponytail tied in a capable manner, looking heroic and spirited.
The two of them sat down on the chairs opposite him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Nian."
The steady male Special Agent spoke first, his voice gentle, without the slightest oppressive feeling of an interrogation.
"We are Special Agents from the Dragon country's Spiritual Energy Bureau. I am Zhang Chen, and this is my partner, Li Yue."
"Our Spiritual Energy Bureau is a special agency established by the Dragon country, responsible for managing all extraordinary powers in the country, dealing with spiritual energy crimes, and slaying demons and evils. You should know about it, right?"
Chen Nian nodded. Of course, he knew.
As a person who had undergone Transmigration and lived here for twenty-three years, the existence of the Spiritual Energy Bureau was common knowledge to him.
This was a world where Spiritual Qi was recovering. Demons were breeding, and Demonic Evils were causing chaos.
Ordinary people could live peacefully all because the Spiritual Energy Bureau was bearing the burden and moving forward.
Li Yue looked at Chen Nian and asked straightforwardly, "We have basically understood what happened at Huimin Supermarket tonight. Those five Demonic Evils were all killed by you, right?"
Chen Nian did not hide anything at all. "Yes."
His answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Hearing this affirmative reply, Li Yue and Zhang Chen were immediately filled with respect.
A trace of imperceptible admiration flashed in their eyes simultaneously.
They had watched the surveillance footage countless times before coming. But hearing it directly from the person involved, the impact was still strong.
Li Yue recorded a few notes on the electronic tablet in her hand, then continued to ask, "According to our records, you were an ordinary person before. Can you tell us roughly when your power underwent Awakening?"
Chen Nian remained calm and said indifferently, "Just tonight, when they were about to kill me, I felt as if something had exploded inside my body, and then, I was filled with power."
He explained half-truthfully. He couldn't exactly say he was cheating using the System.
"I see." Li Yue and Zhang Chen looked at each other, both seeing understanding in each other's eyes.
It really was an Awakening on the verge of death. It was exactly the same as the Bureau's judgment.
Spiritual energy users who undergo Awakening in such situations often know nothing about the source of their power and require subsequent guidance and learning.
Li Yue put away the electronic tablet and a sincere smile appeared on her face. Her attitude became even friendlier, and she said, "Mr. Chen Nian, first, on behalf of the Spiritual Energy Bureau, and also on behalf of those civilians you saved, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude to you."
"Secondly, I want to formally extend an invitation to you. We sincerely invite you to join the Dragon country's Spiritual Energy Bureau."
It's here! Chen Nian understood in his heart; this was already within his expectations.
Having displayed such powerful strength, it was impossible for the Spiritual Energy Bureau not to try to recruit him.
Li Yue continued, "According to national regulations, every citizen who undergoes Awakening of spiritual energy will be registered and filed at the Spiritual Energy Bureau. Afterward, you have two paths to choose from."
"First, join our Spiritual Energy Bureau and become a member. Once you join, you will receive top-tier Cultivation resources, including but not limited to high-level Cultivation Techniques, spiritual energy weapons, Medicinal Pills, and personal guidance from Senior experts."
"At the same time, you will enjoy various social benefits. The basic monthly salary is 50,000 Dragon country currency, and this does not include task bonuses and various subsidies."
"In addition, the state will resolve all your worries. Within Donghai City, you can choose any apartment no smaller than 120 square meters. If you are single, we can even help you find a partner to solve your personal issues."
Zhang Chen, who was beside her, heard this and a trace of envy appeared on his face. He couldn't help but add, "The ones we introduce are all elite female Special Agents from our Bureau, or young ladies from prominent families in other departments."
Li Yue glared at him and continued, "Besides that, you will have a legal gun license. The guns here refer to spiritual energy firearms."
"When performing tasks, you even have the power to temporarily mobilize the local Public Security Bureau to cooperate with your operations."
"It can be said that as long as you do not betray the Dragon country and do not actively harm the innocent, you will possess great freedom and privileges."
Li Yue finished speaking and looked quietly at Chen Nian, waiting for his answer.
"Then what about the second path?" Chen Nian asked with interest.
Li Yue's tone became a bit flatter as she replied, "The second path is to become an external spiritual energy user. You do not need to work for the Spiritual Energy Bureau, but all your actions will be subject to our supervision."
"You need to regularly report your itinerary and the use of your powers to the Spiritual Energy Bureau to ensure that you will not use your extraordinary powers to harm society."
"Once it is discovered that you have committed any illegal acts, the Spiritual Energy Bureau has the right to arrest you, or even... kill you on the spot."
Having said this, the meaning was already very clear.
Either become one of our own and enjoy riches and honors. Or become a "dangerous item" that is constantly monitored, where one mistake could lead to doom.
"I'll join!" Chen Nian gave the answer directly, almost without any hesitation.
This result was within Li Yue and Zhang Chen's expectations. But Chen Nian agreeing so readily still surprised them a little.
"May I ask why?" Zhang Chen asked with some curiosity.
Chen Nian smiled and said, "The benefits are so good, only a fool wouldn't join."
This was one reason. He didn't mention the deeper reason.
He needed the Spiritual Energy Bureau's intelligence System to find more Demonic Evils and more evil cultivators.
After all, only by continuously slaying them could he become stronger!
The System arrived twenty-three years late, and now that it had finally awakened, he didn't want to waste any time.
He would use the Spiritual Energy Bureau's intelligence network to find those Demonic Evils and evil cultivators one by one.
Then, slay them all until none were left!
