Chapter 1064: 1064
Lu Zui's image faded away, replaced by a mysterious and yet graceful badge .
Different from the popular patterns of guns, blades, or ferocious beasts, there was only a colorful cloud covering the moon on the badge . Only if one observed the flowing stripes that constituted the cloud would they be able to discover two crossed, almost transparent flying swords between the cloud and the moonlight .
It was the symbol of the Federal Bureau of Intelligence—a colorful cloud, a silver moon, and secret swords!
Because of the uniqueness of the badge, the Federal Bureau of Intelligence was also known as the Secret Sword Bureau by most of the citizens of the federation .
Since its establishment five hundred years ago, the Star Glory Federation had not only been faced with the threats from the front . Demons in the disguise of human beings, demonic Cultivators who had embraced evil, Cultivators who committed felonies… all of them were walking bombs . If they snuck into the federation, any one of them could have caused unbelievable damage to a populated town .
After all, the army was better at the large-scale, head-on wars on a regular battleground . In terms of 'unlimited warfare' that involved infiltration, intelligence, interrogation, sabotage, assassination, and capture, it was very troublesome for the army to deal with .
Therefore, fifty years after the federation was founded, the ten or so intelligence agencies in the past were merged into the Secret Sword Bureau, whose main task was to collect the intelligence in and out of the federation openly and secretly to provide support for the federal army and the government agencies . Also, a combat squad made of elite soldiers, known as the Secret Sword Agents, was established to cope with the threats of the demons, the extraterrestrial devils, and the evil Cultivators as well as to ensure the internal stability of the federation .
Because of the extraordinariness of Cultivators and high-level demons, one expert sometimes was as powerful as an entire army . On many occasions, the battlefield on the frontline was silent, but in the unknown battlefields deep inside the nation, the soul-stirring attacks and counterattacks never stopped!
Therefore, the Secret Sword Bureau had continued expanding over the past few centuries . Today, the Secret Sword Bureau had more than three hundred thousand employees and boasted its own magical equipment factories, training bases, and secret sources of investment . It was almost an impenetrable, independent kingdom!
There were three divisions under the Secret Sword Bureau, namely the Demon Execution Division, the Devil Elimination Division, and the Heart Purging Division .
The Demon Execution Division was responsible for the intelligence and threats that were related to the demon race . The Devil Elimination Division was responsible for handling crises of the extraterrestrial devils and suppressing the demonic Cultivators . The Heart Purging Division was responsible for capturing the evil Cultivators who were mentally deranged or committed felonies but had nothing to do with demons or devils .
In the hundreds of years of battles against the demons, the extraterrestrial devils, and the evil Cultivators, the Secret Sword Bureau had collected countless confidential techniques and raised a huge batch of Secret Sword Agents who were adept at infiltration, assassination, theft, or probe . The number of the registered Secret Sword Agents was already beyond thirty thousand, and there were countless Dark Sword Travelers whose files were not recorded at all!
In terms of assassination and counter-assassination, as well as infiltration and anti-infiltration, in the populated and complicated cities, the Secret Sword Agents might be tougher than any special force in the federal army!
Seeing the badge of the Secret Sword Bureau, Jin Xinyue noticed that her eyelids were twitching .
For a saintess of the Pantheon of Demons, the Secret Sword Bureau was her natural opponent . Although she had never been to the Heaven's Origin Sector herself, many of her companions had tried to infiltrate into it, but most of them did not return .
Jin Xinyue knew the horror of the Secret Sword Bureau clearly . The seemingly peaceful badge gave her a cold, creepy feeling as if it were a viper . Calming herself down, she continued . "If the Children of the Nether World are indeed lurking in the federation, the Secret Sword Bureau will be the agency to deal with them . They are the specialists in the regard . Even if you go to Jiang Hailiu, the Speaker, or Zhou Hengdao, the Iron Commander, it will still be the duty of Lu Zui, the director of the Secret Sword Bureau, to dig out all the Children of the Nether World leading his Secret Sword Agents!
"Lu Zui is 211 years old right now . He is a rarely-seen hybrid Cultivator who is talented in administration and research . He is the most respected authority in the fields of psychology, tracking, and investigation . He is also the president of the Association of the Registered Meditation Healers . You must have faith in his professionalism, Master .
"Lu Zui will be the one that can make the best use of whatever little evidence we have here .
"However, the guy has worked in the battlefield of darkness for his entire life . Naturally, demons are not his favorites . He is also an unwavering hawk . He is best at predicting what other people are thinking, and it will be much more difficult to persuade him than to persuade Jiang Hailiu or Zhou Hengdao .
"Speaker Jiang Hailiu, Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao, and Director Lu Zui, representing the government, the military, and the agency of intelligence respectively . Any of them will do . It's your call, Master . "
"Wait!" Li Yao raised his hand . "All three key people are hawks? Are there any doves?"
"No . " Jin Xinyue shook her head and said, "Speaking of the attitude toward the demon race in the federation, there are only hawks, firm hawks, frantic hawks, and insane hawks . No doves . "
"Fine . " Li Yao scratched his nose . "Forget it . Please continue . "
Jin Xinyue made another gesture . Right below the cloud-moon-sword badge, next to Director Lu Zui, another middle-aged man who was a bit fat appeared with a smile .
He was holding his belly, and his delight seemed to be flowing out of the light beam .
He looked like a harmless, middle-aged fatty who would not know how to burst into fury even if somebody else took his seat in a theater .
