Otherworldly Affairs Office

Pei Yan didn't know what the next meeting involved. After repeated warnings not to eavesdrop, he was taken away from the meeting room by Director Wei before the real operational meeting began.

Under Director Wei's guidance, Pei Yan was brought back to the previous interrogation room, where he expanded the selection work on prisoners admitted to the prison in recent years, striving to ensure no other high-tech product carrying criminals infiltrate the Secret Prison apart from this batch of Divine Desire criminals admitted during the Spring Festival.

The review work lasted for more than two hours, which shouldn't have taken so long. However, after the prisoner review ended, there was an emergency notification in the meeting room, requesting a new round of audit for all levels of psychic prison guards, including Director Wei, as well as the armed police soldiers stationed outside.

This really was an unexpected discovery. Director Wei, who initially thought the audit was redundant, was dumbfounded staring at the list of twelve armed police soldiers after the review ended.

Pei Yan saw Director Wei standing there in a daze and leaned in to offer low-voiced comfort: "The problem may not lie with the armed police soldiers. This kind of equipment is extremely secretly placed. If Divine Desire obtained intelligence about these soldiers being stationed here, there is a possibility for them to inject this thing into their bodies during a home visit without anyone noticing. After all, they are ordinary people and defenseless against techniques used by psychics."

Director Wei nodded but still gritted his teeth and said, "You don't understand. There might be no issue with these armed police soldiers! But we definitely have a problem here. Every soldier selected for stationing the perimeter is rigorously chosen, and once selected, their service time is long; upon retiring, even their memories are appropriately modified, and their information is classified as confidential. For Divine Desire people to know their identities is already a breach of confidentiality itself!"

"Will our large-scale audit action have already alerted the enemy?" Pei Yan asked, frowning slightly.

"No, before I asked you to conduct the audit, the intelligence inspection group of the Investigation Department has already controlled this place, absolutely ensuring that no news leaked. Following this will be a full-scale covert search!"

"Oh!"

After their conversation ended, Pei Yan was taken to a lounge to have dinner, until Gu Shenghui woke him up from the sofa. Pei Yan checked his watch; surprisingly, the operational meeting had gone on until midnight.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he looked at the elderly man behind Gu Shenghui. Halfway through a yawn, he swallowed it back. He had only seen the newly appointed Minister Cen a few times from a distance. Numerous legends about him circulated among the lower-level agents in the department, and for this legendary figure, Pei Yan dared not act as casually as with Gu Shenghui.

"I shouldn't disturb your rest, but due to the situation here, you need to promptly start the first and most critical step of the operation plan."

Listening to the kindly words from the somewhat tired elder, Pei Yan hastily expressed his willingness to engage in the task any time. Cen Xiaoran looked at the young man before him, nodded in satisfaction, and signaled Gu Shenghui to lead him to the scene.

Once outside the room, Pei Yan noticed that during his sleep, significant changes had occurred externally. A large number of Golden Eagle and Dark Arrow psychic team members had secretly moved in, making the vast prison seem slightly cramped. According to Gu Shenghui's introduction, Pei Yan learned that to ensure the foolproof execution of the plan, the Secret Prison's defense level has been discreetly upgraded. These action team members will conceal their abilities and secretly hide, serving as the first wave of counterattack forces against enemy infiltration.

Shortly after walking, the two arrived again at the conference room entrance. Upon entering, Pei Yan saw an old acquaintance, Engineer Li. Besides, fewer familiar faces were in the conference room, replaced by researchers and uniformed military personnel.

After some socializing with a few people, Engineer Li stood in front of Pei Yan, eyeing this psychic shaped from the essence of the research institute with pride, and said with a smile: "Pei Yan, start your performance now! We are all ready here!"

Having already learned the task procedure, Pei Yan stepped to the table and stood in front of a series of glass lenses. Resting on these lenses were the Divine Desire Nanomechanical Insects retrieved from prisoners and armed police soldiers during previous reviews.

Moving to the monitor, Engineer Li gazed at the detected signal on the screen, nervously gestured with his hand asking Pei Yan, "Are you ready?"

"Ready!" Knowing the task's success hinges on this, Pei Yan cautiously looked at the nanomechanical insects on the table, nodded after adjusting his state.

"Great! We'll go one by one! Prepare! Begin!"

After detecting a wave of signals sent, Engineer Li issued the replacement command! Having been well-prepared, Pei Yan skillfully cut off the Divine Desire Mechanical Insect's external signal transmission ability and replaced it with the mechanical insect that had been precisely computed and injected with his essence by the system.

Three minutes later, watching the monitors displaying identical signal information as before, Engineer Li enthusiastically gave an OK gesture!

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief seeing the first step succeed. Under Engineer Li's direction, Pei Yan replaced each Divine Desire Nanomechanical Insect in sequence. These replaced insects would still transmit information outward, but when Divine Desire people attempt to activate them to confine space, they will find they've been stealthily switched.

"The bait has been laid; now we just wait for the fish to bite! The remaining arrangements are left to us." Mei Simiao stood up, reached out towards Prison Director Li and spoke after knowing all mechanical insects were successfully replaced. Subsequent screening work still required cooperation from this direct leader.

"Alright! We also need to make arrangements for those key prisoners!" Prison Director Li shook hands with Mei Simiao, speaking coldly. Worrying about the unlikely, to prevent such unlikely occurrence, the meeting decided to implant preventive measures inside key prisoners. If truly an emergency arises, these precious research materials won't be spared from being destroyed at crucial moments to avoid the enemy's prison break success!

Pei Yan did not know these developments; after completing his assigned duties, he was taken from the meeting room by Gu Shenghui. Walking out together, Gu Shenghui mentioned, "The matters here are temporarily irrelevant to you. If no attack is launched by the enemy within two months, then you could come here again."

"I have a request!"

"Understood! If the enemy launches an attack, you wish to participate in this action, right!" Hearing Pei Yan's dull voice, Gu Shenghui didn't even have to think to know what he would say next.

"Yeah!"

"During that time, under normal circumstances, you will join! However, for now, you need to go back to the dorm and rest well. Your teammates are awaiting you to execute another task! This task also involves the Divine Desire Organization!"
