World Bureau Headquarters

World Bureau (EIA, Explore, Investigate, and Analysis)

Using anti-gravity technology brought from the depths of the Corner, it was repositioned above the capital and could directly monitor the entire island nation.

The General Investigation Bureau and the Research Bureau are located on either side of the ring road.

The center is the World Bureau headquarters.

It is the most mysterious, most important, and highest-authority area in the world.

Whether you are in the capital or standing on either side of the ring road, you cannot see its specific architectural features.

Or it may be obstructed by the line of sight.

Or it may be obscured by clouds.

Any high-precision visual instrument that attempts to spy will damage its internal components. If the same field of vision is spied on repeatedly, it will violate some kind of prohibition, and the individual may disappear from this world completely.

The World Bureau Headquarters is a comprehensive structure.

It also contains the following extremely important "parts":

The Exploration Bureau, representing humanity's highest combat power,

The [Containment Zone] is a place where monster avatars and Rare Imposter are imprisoned and sealed off.

An entrance developed by humans, capable of stably connecting to corners, allowing Exploration Bureau personnel to enter.

There are three ways to get to the World Bureau headquarters.

1. Become an internal employee of the World Bureau through internal recruitment and complete a one-year internship in a specific region without leaving home.

2. Regular employees of the General Investigation Bureau or the Research Bureau can fill out an application and, after approval, can go at the designated time.

3. Individuals who are invited by the World Bureau can go there after completing identity verification.

current.

The anti-gravity train, capable of traveling in the air, departs from the General Investigation Bureau and heads to the World Bureau Headquarters in less than five minutes.

There was only one carriage, and only two people were sitting inside.

Luo Di and Yu Ze sat facing each other on cold metal benches. Originally, Junior Sister Yun also wanted to go with them, but unfortunately her application was not approved.

In addition to taking them to their designated destination, the train will also conduct a thorough full-body inspection using its onboard scanning system.

Surprisingly,

Luo Di had thought the crow colt would be considered a dangerous item, but it could actually carry the Hell Hilt.

The inspection here does not directly determine the danger of an object, but rather makes a judgment based on the relationship between the user and the object.

From the World Bureau's perspective, as long as Luo Di has the ability to control such a tool, he can carry it and therefore it is safe.

Most importantly, this is a combat enhancement item for Luo Di, something that can be carried into a corner, and he shouldn't be prohibited from carrying it due to security concerns.

<Approaching the World Bureau Headquarters Gate>

The train stopped and the doors opened.

Luo Di had assumed that the headquarters was built on a huge floating island, and that the train would arrive at the edge of the island.

But there was no island or road outside the car door.

All that remains are concrete steps.

When Luo Di stepped off the train and onto the seemingly ordinary steps, his Old Spine was passively activated, providing strong support.

Luo Di quickly adjusted his slightly bent knees, and subconsciously began to move his body, as if adapting to something.

"Gravity... about three times? Four times?"

Yu Ze remained unchanged, smiling as he replied, "With four times the gravity, if you can't move freely in this gravity field, you're not qualified to go to the World Bureau headquarters. This is the most basic environmental adaptation."

"Um."

After completing a set of warm-up exercises, Luo Di returned to his usual self. Although his maximum running speed may have decreased, his basic movements were not affected in any way.

Looking up,

The building's facade is a pure gray plane that stretches endlessly from top to sides, presenting a deep gray color. It is likely some kind of alloy concrete, and there may even be unknown energy transmission inside.

Luo Di felt as if his vision had been stained by the wall material after staring at it for a short while, with some uncomfortable little spots appearing on the surface of his eyeballs.

Once the view was shifted away, the effect quickly disappeared.

Climb the steps

At the end is an arched gate made of a similar material to the walls, about twenty meters high.

At the center of the door is the World Bureau (EIA) logo in titanium relief*.

*1. Three-ring gear

Composed of three nested gears, labeled E (inner ring), I (middle ring), and A (outer ring), symbolizing a logical closed loop of exploration, investigation, and analysis that progresses step by step.

*2. Central Earth and Torch

A simplified outline of the Earth is embedded in the center of the gear, and a golden torch stands on top, symbolizing the light of human civilization penetrating the unknown.

*3. Winged Olive Branch

The gear is flanked by steel wings made of data links, with crossed olive branches at the bottom, symbolizing unity and peace.

"It's not rush hour yet, so the main gate is still closed. But we've already received our visit permits, so we just need to wait at the gate for a bit."

At Yu Ze's prompting, the two stood at the main entrance.

As the gears on the World Bureau logo begin to turn, the gates gradually open inward.

[General Bureau Hall]

A gigantic globe hangs in the center.

A large number of people are moving around in the lobby area.

They didn't have any uniform or iconic clothing; instead, they wore simple clothes that reflected their own country's or their own style. Each of them seemed to have a clear purpose in their eyes, and they walked at their fastest pace.

Luo Di even saw some Chinese people in Zhongshan suit moving around in the crowd.

"So many people in the World Bureau?"

"After all, it needs to handle affairs across the country and in every corner, and only a sufficient number of people can ensure the perfect operation of this system."

Even if some gears suddenly stop working, a large number of gears, if arranged properly, can still perform the same function.

Less than ten seconds after the two entered, a woman with permed blonde hair, dressed in business attire, and carrying a file board walked out from the crowd.

"Hello! I am the receptionist from the World Bureau."

It will be judged based on the application intentions you filled out.

We have confirmed that Investigator Luo Di has a deep connection with Mr. Kraft in the Containment Zone, and Investigator Luo Di has been granted a basic tour. As for a meeting with Mr. Kraft, we will have to wait for the evaluation team to give a final answer.

As for the investigator in Yu Ze,

You have just turned 28 this year, and all the criteria you meet for applying to the Exploration Bureau.

However, it seems that your department did not issue you a letter of recommendation.

The Exploration Bureau is willing to conduct a qualification review of you. If you pass, they will directly negotiate with the General Investigation Bureau and complete the transfer of your personal data.

Yu Ze rubbed his temples with his fingers. "Well, here's the thing. Could Luo Di come with me to the Exploration Bureau? We're old comrades, and he's free anyway, so it'll be a good opportunity for him to visit."

"Wait a moment, I need to make an inquiry."

The woman pressed the earpiece, and after a brief conversation, nodded. "The Exploration Bureau would very much like to welcome Mr. Di 'Mr. Di visit. However, please be aware that you are currently too young to apply for membership in the Exploration Bureau. Please consider this a visit."

Before Luo Di could respond, Yu Ze gave a mysterious smile and made an OK gesture.

Follow the receptionist into a private elevator marked with an "E" to reach the corresponding floor.

Ding! The elevator doors opened, but the scene outside wasn't as grand as the lobby had been.

Instead, it was a straight, dark gray passageway with a counter at the end.

"Please fill out the registration form here. Investigator Yu Ze, please fill out this red assessment application form. Mr. Di, please fill out this white visit application form."

After filling out the form, simply drop it into the mailbox next to you, and the Exploration Bureau will provide a response to your application very quickly.

However, Yu Ze took two red forms directly, one for himself and one for Luo Di.

This puzzled the receptionist. "Hmm? Mr. Yu Ze, didn't you listen carefully? The red one is..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Yu Ze suddenly turned his head, and although he was wearing sunglasses to cover his eyes, the receptionist seemed to see a look in his eyes that made her feel uneasy.

Yu Ze quickly put on a smile again and continued filling out the form.
