64: Special envoy, act first, report later!

Donghai City Psionic Bureau, Command Center.

Within the vast space, there was a deathly silence.

Only the low hum of operating equipment could be heard, making the atmosphere feel even more heavy.

On the large central screen, shocking images were being projected one after another.

The Xuanzhen Sect had been bathed in blood, and the Tianqiong International Group had been turned into a slaughterhouse.

Blood was everywhere in the footage, along with severed limbs, wreckage, and indistinguishable fragments of flesh.

Every frame was an extreme assault on human vision and psychology.

"Special Agent Chen Nian is as ruthless as ever..."

"It's terrifying. No matter how many times I see it, this kind of scene is still unacceptable."

"Such a tragic scene. If I were there, I would definitely throw up."

Suppressed discussions briefly flared up before being quickly swallowed by silence again.

The screen switched.

The camera went deep into the basement of the Tianqiong International building.

A huge space that had been forcibly opened up was presented before everyone.

Flesh and blood flew here as well, but there were even more traces of battle.

The ground was covered with huge craters, the surrounding rock walls were cracked, and countless pieces of rubble were scattered everywhere; the entire space was a mess.

Clearly, a very intense battle had taken place here.

At this moment, Intelligence Group Leader Lin Zhengyang stood up.

With a serious expression, he began to report:

"According to the on-site survey, this is the location where Special Agent Chen Nian fought the Youdu Corpse Emperor."

"However, no tissue remains of the Youdu Corpse Emperor can be found at the scene."

"We can only detect extremely scattered energy residues belonging to the Youdu Corpse Emperor in the air."

"The conclusion is that he was beaten into nothingness by Special Agent Chen Nian."

As his voice fell, a chorus of gasps suddenly rang out in the command center.

People leaned back slightly, their eyes filled with horror.

Not long ago, they had indeed detected that terrifying energy reaction from the Youdu Corpse Emperor.

However, before the combat units could finish assembling, that massive energy vanished into thin air.

It appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast.

At the time, everyone was puzzled as to why such a powerful energy would suddenly be cut off.

Vanishing without a trace.

Only now did they get the answer.

It didn't disappear.

It was completely erased.

It was Chen Nian who had ground him to dust, leaving not a single trace behind!

For a moment, the entire command center buzzed with unbelievable discussion.

"What exactly is the situation with Special Agent Chen Nian? Why can he defeat the Youdu Corpse Emperor alone?"

"According to the satellite energy detection, the highest energy reaction the Youdu Corpse Emperor erupted with was at least at the Peak of the Fourth Rank, only one step away from the Fifth Rank. He actually beat such a monster into nothingness?"

"Hasn't he only been Awakened for five days? Logically speaking, he should still be in the Awakening Realm, right?"

"An Awakening Realm defeating a Peak Fourth Rank? Is this a fairy tale?"

Countless questions and exclamations intertwined; everyone felt their understanding of reality was being challenged.

Just then, a Special Agent spoke up.

"No, he is not in the Awakening Realm."

With one sentence, everyone's discussion came to an abrupt halt as they all looked toward him.

The agent swallowed and continued: "I ran into him at the bureau this morning. The energy fluctuations radiating from him have reached at least the Second Rank Resonance Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar again.

"What the hell? Only Awakened for five days and he's already Advanced to the Second Rank?"

"How is that possible? From Awakening Realm to Resonance Realm in five days? Even in the archives of the Capital General Bureau, none of those top geniuses could do that, right?"

"Besides, even if he is in the Resonance Realm, that's only the Second Rank. A Second Rank fighting a Fourth Rank, and even beating a Peak Fourth Rank into nothingness—this is still too strange!"

Everyone in the entire command center was shaken to the core by this news.

Five days, Second Rank.

And soloing a Peak Fourth Rank.

The combination of these two pieces of information created an absurdly powerful impact, causing the elites present to feel their brains stall.

"Quiet!"

Director Qin Shan spoke, stopping the commotion.

He turned to the Intelligence Group Leader: "Group Leader Lin, continue the report."

"Yes."

Lin Zhengyang nodded and switched the image on the screen.

A new image appeared.

In the footage, Chen Nian just casually waved his hand.

In the next second, a crimson thread shot out from his fingertips, moving with extreme speed.

*Puchi!*

In the video, the members of the Tianyun District Garrison Squad didn't even have time to react.

Their bodies instantly stiffened, and heads flew into the air as blood gushed out like fountains.

Decapitation!

Seeing this, the entire room went silent.

Before, it was Chen Nian's brutality toward enemies; this time, it was his lethal strike against 'his own people'.

Everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with a horror that words could not describe.

After a long time, a department head wearing an inspector's uniform stood up with a troubled expression.

He looked around and spoke with a dry voice:

"Special Agent Chen Nian attacked colleagues of the Spiritual Energy Bureau, killing all members of the Tianyun District Garrison Squad who had already given up resistance."

"This is a serious violation of discipline."

"I wonder, how do you all think this should be handled?"

As the head of the department in charge of agent discipline, he should have directly presented a handling opinion.

But now, he was actually asking for others' opinions, which showed the conflict and difficulty in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else immediately spoke up in a loud voice.

"Although Special Agent Chen Nian's actions did cross the line, he not only killed the Peak Fourth Rank Youdu Corpse Emperor single-handedly but also uprooted the Corpse Ghost Cult that had been entrenched in Tianyun District for years. Even that fallen and corrupt Xuanzhen Sect was wiped out by him!"

"I believe his merits outweigh his faults!"

Before the voice could fade, another person stood up and added excitedly:

"That's right! Moreover, according to the investigation clues our Logistics Group just received, that Garrison Squad in Tianyun District was already rotten to the core!"

"They have committed serious disciplinary violations many times, shielding and colluding with various forces in Tianyun District, and were even involved with the Corpse Ghost Cult, working together to harm many innocent people who opposed them!"

"People like this, even if handed over to the Tribunal, the final result would inevitably be execution!"

"Special Agent Chen Nian merely executed them in advance. From the perspective of the outcome, he still stands in the ranks of justice!"

"Agreed!"

"Special Agent Chen Nian used thunderous means to avoid a major crisis that could have swept through the entire Donghai City and protected the safety of the whole city. He should not be punished, but rather heavily rewarded!"

For a moment, the sentiment in the command center was surprisingly unanimous.

Everyone felt that although Chen Nian's methods were a bit too sharp and brutal, without exception, they all believed he should not face any punishment.

After all, he had single-handedly prevented a horrific disaster that could have overturned the entire Donghai City.

Perhaps they hadn't even noticed it themselves.

Unconsciously, their attitude toward Chen Nian had transformed from initial scrutiny and wariness into deep trust and support.

At this moment, there was no longer any doubt in their eyes or words.

All that remained was the absolute recognition and awe of a powerhouse who crushed everything.

In the next second, everyone's eyes focused on Director Qin Shan, waiting for his response.

Qin Shan nodded and said seriously:

"Yes, in view of Special Agent Chen Nian's outstanding performance, he successfully prevented a massive crisis."

"Although killing the Tianyun District Garrison Squad is suspected of crossing the line, it is also within the scope of justice."

"Merits and faults cancel each other out. Our bureau decides not to pursue the matter."

Hearing this, everyone present showed a look of relief.

Just then, a Special Agent suddenly walked in quickly with a nervous expression.

"Report, Director, a communication has arrived from the Capital General Bureau!"

*Swish!*

Everyone's eyes once again focused entirely on Director Qin Shan.

Qin Shan was also somewhat surprised.

Capital General Bureau?

He picked up the terminal to take a look, and his expression instantly changed.

He looked up, his expression becoming even more serious, and said in a deep voice:

"The Capital Spiritual Energy General Bureau has sent a communication. By the decision of the highest meeting of the Spiritual Energy General Bureau, as of now, Donghai City Special Agent Chen Nian is officially granted the status of 'Special Commissioner'."

"Special Commissioner Chen Nian will enjoy independent action rights, priority intelligence access, and the right to dispose of agents below Level 5."

"The Donghai City Psionic Bureau must do everything possible to meet his reasonable requests and provide the highest level of logistical support."

"It is imperative to keep him firmly stabilized within the Spiritual Energy Bureau system; there must not be the slightest neglect or slight!"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

What?!

The Capital Spiritual Energy General Bureau actually personally sent a message and gave Chen Nian such high authority.

It seemed it wasn't just their Donghai City Psionic Bureau.

Even the Capital General Bureau, which had seen countless storms and countless geniuses and prodigies, had now realized Chen Nian's uniqueness and importance.

However, they had no objection to this; instead, a strange sense of pride welled up in their hearts.

Without the slightest hesitation, they replied in unison: "Yes!"
