Chapter 248 Work Handover
“You don’t have to do it yourself to take revenge. If you are powerful enough, you can still effectively strike at your enemies even if you live on the Forbidden Island. So even if you can’t get out, it’s not completely impossible to take revenge on your family.
In addition, the forbidden island is not completely without a way to leave. Even if you are not a free man, when you master the technology to create your own barrier, you can freely enter and exit any forbidden island."
"It has its own barrier?" Flora frowned. "What is that?"
This was a term she had never heard of, and had not seen it in any of the online courses so far.
"It's a very rare skill. It's possible to gain abilities after fully mastering the alienation. As long as you have this ability, you can leave Dongyang Island."
“Can you teach me?”
"No, this thing cannot be taught. It can only be imparted as a feeling." Sylvie smiled, "But don't worry, as long as you are strong enough, you will definitely master this technique. On the other hand, if you don't master this technique, no matter how strong you are, you are just a mutant."
"Is there really such technology?" Flora asked doubtfully.
She felt that perhaps there was no such thing as a self-contained barrier, and this technology was just something Sylvie made up to trick her into working for her.
Because if there really is such a special technology that can allow people to leave Shutter Island safely, it will definitely be widely spread as common sense.
She thought she had read a lot of books since she was a child, but she had never seen any technology similar to the one described by Sylvie in any of the books.
" Because there are very few people who master this technology, and it involves some knowledge about demons. If ordinary people knew this knowledge, it would cause panic, so it is forbidden to spread widely. It's normal that you don't know it." Sylvie explained.
"I don't think I can reach that level... If I choose another path, Minister, can you help me?"
"Strengthen your power? Of course you can. These industries of the Ye family will be taken over by the Investigation Bureau, and the part that our Seventh Bureau got will be given to you to manage. If you have talent in this area, show it to me. But if you don't... there's nothing I can do." Sylvie said.
Flora was stunned.
She didn't expect that Sylvie would hand over all these businesses to her for management at once. Such an important decision didn't seem to be something that could be made on a whim.
Did the Minister plan to do this a long time ago?
But even if these businesses are handed over to her, the money earned should still belong to the Investigation Bureau.
In that case, how could she gain power of her own by doing such a thing?
"Minister, what good will ?"
"Oh my, little Flora, you usually look so smart, why can't you figure out such a simple thing? Look at the new rich people rising in the metropolitan area now. Which one of them doesn't act like a lapdog in front of the investigation bureau?
When an industry needs authority to gain a foothold, capital becomes secondary and power becomes the most important.
Our investigation bureau has such precious staff, how can we personally manage the Ye family's legacy? Of course, business matters should be handed over to professional businessmen. Letting you manage does not mean that you manage those employees, but those who manage the industry on our behalf."
After hearing this, Flora immediately understood.
The spiritual salt mining rights or other factories left by the Ye family are still handed over to people in society to operate, but those people operate them on behalf of the Investigation Bureau.
There is no doubt that this generation of management will generate a lot of profits. For these profits, many families or free enterprises will flock to curry favor with the person who authorizes them.
And Sylvie gave her the power of authorization.
If this kind of authorization situation occurs repeatedly in the future, with the help of those who seek power, she may be able to weave a dense network of interests.
Flora could only imagine this much now. If she wanted to know more benefits and details, she had to get closer to see.
"What do you want to do?" Sylvie asked with a smile.
"want!"
"Very good, it's alright now, you can go out, remember to pick up Lance."
"knew."
Flora stood up and walked out of the confinement room, and met Su Ming head-on.
She was stunned for a moment and smiled at Su Ming.
Looking at Flora like this, Su Ming had a strange impression. Flora seemed absent-minded. Although she was smiling at her, her mind was blank. She was like a person who was busy all day long, always working with his hands, but actually didn't even know what he was doing.
This was the feeling Flora gave Su Ming. She was smiling at him, but this smile did not contain any emotion. It just seemed to express: I'm fine.
What to say?
Su Ming didn't know either. He felt that questions involving Milo might irritate Flora, and there was no need for any extra comfort.
"You should have a good sleep." Su Ming said to Flora.
He felt that letting Flora go to sleep would be better than comforting her, and if no one else showed her how to relax, she might remain so tense.
In any case, sleep is a good way to restart your mind, and time will slowly fade the grief. Before that, she needs to hold on.
"You're just in time. I have a few things to talk to you about." In the confinement room behind Flora, Sylvie walked out of the door and waved to Su Ming.
Flora looked at Su Ming's back as he walked towards Xi Wei, and suddenly called out, "Su Ming, tonight...are you free? Do you want to have dinner with me?"
Su Ming stopped, turned around and looked at her, then nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
Entering the confinement room, Sylvie closed the door and pointed to the seat where Flora had just sat.
"Sit down. You killed the Beast Demon by yourself. You performed very well. But I watched the video and you didn't use your special move. Why? Is it that you can't use it on the demon, or can't use it?"
"Cannot be used against demons."
"What a pity." Sylvie smiled and shrugged. "But you still won. It was a beautiful win. How does it feel to defeat the devil? Do you feel stronger?"
"It's okay. I don't feel anything. I feel like someone is targeting me." Su Ming directly said what he cared about most, "Someone planned this series of events."
"Of course. There aren't so many coincidences in the world. This kind of thing will definitely happen many times. You have to be prepared," said Sylvie.
Sylvie said it so lightly, as if she had already guessed that someone would target him, which surprised Su Ming a little.
"Minister, did you know this a long time ago?"
"I don't know." Sylvie smiled and waved her hands, "What do you think I am? Someone who can predict the future?"
"Okay, from what you said, I'll have to deal with it myself from now on. Are you going to go into the white fog again?"
Su Ming keenly sensed the hidden message in Sylvie's words.
Sylvie nodded slightly. "That's right. The White Mist is too dangerous. The plan to establish an investigation bureau base in the White Mist has been put on hold. Six of the fourteen ministers who went in died, and a total of four hundred of the five hundred superpowered people died. With the current manpower, it is impossible to establish a base. We have to switch to guerrilla warfare for the time being."
"Is it so dangerous?" Su Ming was slightly surprised.
When he and Flora and Xia Xiaoyu went in, there were only a few people in there for such a long time.
This time, the alliance sent so many ministers and led so many psychics in, but the casualties were so heavy that it was incredible.
“It is quite dangerous, and it is a headache for the alliance. It is not particularly difficult to survive in it, but it is extremely difficult to establish a force.
But the demon transfer plan will not be terminated. This is a good thing that will benefit the present and future generations. If it succeeds, I can throw all the dangerous demons and high-risk objects that cannot be contained into another world, and our world will be much safer.
As for you, you also have important things to do." Sylvie said.
"I will do my best to be the district chief. I have already started recruiting people."
"But I heard from Yichuan that after killing the Beast Demon, you rested in the Investigation Bureau for seven days. That's too lazy." Sylvie said with a smile.
Su Ming smiled awkwardly and glanced at Xia Xiaoyu beside him. Xia Xiaoyu looked away as if nothing had happened, pretending that it had nothing to do with her.
"I'm too tired. I need to take a short rest and recharge my energy for future work." Su Ming made an excuse.
Sylvie chuckled and said, "Haha, you are talking nonsense, but you look even more tired now, as if you haven't slept well for several nights in a row."
"Don't worry about these little details. What exactly do you want me to do, Minister? You must have something specific for me to do, so you're talking to me."
"Well...some things are hard to explain, especially now that I have a lot of things for you to do, so I have to sort them out."
Sylvie crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back in her chair, and thought for a moment before saying, "Go to my office and get some coffee. I want to drink while I think."
"Minister, do we have to talk in the detention room? Why not in the office?"
"The solitary confinement room is well soundproofed, and it is an honor for subordinates to run errands for their superiors. Go quickly and come back soon!"
Sylvie kicked Su Ming a few times under the table. Su Ming stood up helplessly and went to complete this outrageous errand job for the other party.
Five minutes later, he came back with a full set of coffee-making tools. Sylvie wrote down the main points she was going to talk about on a piece of paper. It seemed that she had a lot to explain.
Sylvie added half a cup of coffee powder into the cup and brewed it. A bitter taste spread.
“I will be entering the white fog soon, and it’s uncertain whether I can come out or not, but you have to keep working hard outside. Although the black door is now open and you can go to other islands, you can’t just be trapped on these islands. Sooner or later, you will have to leave the Forbidden Island.
There are two ways to leave the island. The first is to try to take a test to see if you are a free man. This method is a bit risky and usually leaves some sequelae. If you are unlucky, you may die.
Another way is to become stronger and stronger, and be able to release your own barrier, then you can enter and exit any island freely. "
