Fortunately, the Special Affairs Bureau personnel came out quickly. And the moment they did, they headed straight for the item in Shen Le's hands:
"Mr. Shen, this way! This way!"
"We've prepared a separate research room! One fitted with an isolation array! You can safely place whatever you found inside!"
"The research room has one-way glass, detection equipment, and cameras. Experts can observe it clearly through the array! It won't affect the professors' judgment!"
Shen Le happily carried the box inside. Wonderful—he had been worried that merely wearing protective Magic Artifacts would not completely block the helmet's influence, and that the experts might easily be affected!
"You're very practiced at handling this sort of thing!"
Three Special Affairs Bureau personnel surrounded him in a triangular formation, intentionally or otherwise keeping the professors—who were staring at the helmet with shining eyes—at a distance. Shen Le curiously struck up a conversation with them:
"Do you run into this kind of thing often?"
"Of course!" The short-haired, baby-faced girl walking to Shen Le's left in the triangular formation proudly lifted her chin. "Dunhuang—even the entire northwest—is an area under key surveillance and full-scale defense! It's even more important than the southeast coast!"
"How could that be?"
Shen Le did not like hearing that.
The southeast coast was hugely important! Even little Zhuxi Town had several people stationed there, not to mention the Special Affairs Bureau in neighboring Shanghai, which was practically guarded by a massive force!
Compared to the northwest, well, the last time he had come to Dunhuang, he had gotten into a huge fight at the solar power station, and the Special Affairs Bureau had only arrived at a leisurely pace afterward.
In Zhuxi Town, on the other hand, people would arrive within five minutes of an emergency call at most!
