The promotion to Tier Seven allowed Baiyu to relax completely.
After taking a good soak and changing into fresh clothes to rest for the night, he finally left the Earl's Mansion the next morning and headed to the Anomaly Bureau.
Qiu Yun was now captured.
The people sent by the Imperial to take over the Armed Department were still on their way.
The Anomaly Bureau was almost operating at full capacity, maintaining the operation of the entire city.
Baiyu looked at the city's streets.
Both ordinary people and martial artists were actively preparing for battle, not fearing the arrival of the alien army.
The fighting spirit was high.
This was a good thing.
If even the people below were afraid of fighting, then they might as well just offer their heads to the aliens directly.
Aliens and the Human Race had long been mortal enemies.
Unless one side was annihilated, there could be no reconciliation whatsoever.
He arrived at the Anomaly Bureau.
Baiyu's identity was well known by now, so naturally, no one dared to stop him.
Upon his arrival.
Baiyu met an old acquaintance.
Yu Qiu seemed to have recovered well and hadn't developed a psychological shadow from his experiences in the Tidal World.
Of course, after being knocked out by the Butcher, he didn't remember anything.
Sometimes the more you know, the unhappier you become.
"Director Bai, you must be here for the prison."
Yu Qiu was obviously briefed by He Jin and voluntarily led Baiyu to the Anomaly Bureau's jail.
The prison of the Anomaly Bureau has multiple layers of security.
The defenses are extremely tight, with numerous defense spirit arrays at every location and strong individuals secretly guarding at all times.
To force your way here.
Unless you were someone as powerful as Qiu Yun or He Jin, you wouldn't even get close to the door.
Inside the prison was a long corridor.
The layout of the entire prison was like the shape of the character "ๅ" (hui), one layer enveloping another, stacked upon one another; the more dangerous and important prisoners were kept further inside.
The entire prison had five levels.
But Dragon Head, such an important figure, was only held on the fourth level, which was what surprised Baiyu.
He wondered who was being held on the fifth level.
Click...
The cell door made of Living Iron was opened.
Inside was Dragon Head, bound with twelve chains, locking all major joints, confined in a transparent glass structure filled with suppressant gas.
Baiyu walked up to him.
The other weakly lifted his head, his gaze filled with deep hatred: "Baiyu, if I get out, I will kill you."
Such blatant hostility, even in these circumstances, he still had the nerve to threaten Baiyu.
It showed how much he hated him.
Baiyu didn't really understand such a master's mindset, but recalling that this guy was pulverized by He Jin with one punch, he didn't seem very strong either.
Perhaps even he and Erza together couldn't defeat him.
The organization Long Yuan.
It seemed to have an undeserved reputation.
Compared to the Divine Court, it was not on the same level.
"Actually, we don't have any major grievances."
Baiyu shrugged, pulled up a chair, and sat beside the cell as if having a heartfelt conversation with an old friend, "You see, before, there was no intersection between me and your Long Yuan. Yet, your two subordinates had to use me in their design, I couldn't possibly let them leave freely, could I?"
"And then? I kindly spared their lives and even offered them a very relaxed condition.
As long as they work for me for a few years, I will return their freedom.
This condition, even I feel I've been too kind. Tell me, am I not a great benefactor?"
Baiyu sighed.
Dragon Head clenched his teeth with hatred, wishing he could tear him apart with his bare hands.
But Baiyu ignored him and continued to talk to himself, "But you, repay kindness with enmity. A dignified Grandmaster Level martial artist came to take my life. Isn't that bullying?"
"Baiyu, you're seeking death!"
Dragon Head's eyes turned blood red, and he began to struggle, but under the high concentration of suppressant gas, his body was no different from an ordinary person and could not break free of the chains.
"How am I seeking death?"
Baiyu laughed coldly, "If you didn't come to provoke me, I wouldn't even know the name of your garbage organization.
Are you even worthy of saying that to me?
Now I still offer you a chance, if you cooperate with me, everything can be negotiated."
Upon hearing this, Dragon Head instead laughed, full of disdain.
Baiyu did not get angry.
This Dragon Head had been tortured by the Anomaly Bureau for a whole night and probably thought he was immune to all poisons, but he hadn't experienced true suffering yet.
"Xu Qiu, I plan to stay here for the next few days, is that alright?"
"Of course, Director Bai, I'll arrange everything according to your actions, as Director He instructed."
Xu Qiu promptly agreed.
Baiyu nodded, said no more, and went to the torture instrument room.
Besides the basic ones that cause physical pain, the Anomaly Bureau had many special instruments.
Most of these are extraordinary objects.
Because they have various special effects, they are used as instruments of torture.
Soon after.
Baiyu selected an extraordinary object labeled as C Level, called "Heart of Hell."
According to the label.
This sealing object was only rated as C Level, proving it wouldn't cause significant threat or harm societal stability.
It's a harmless supernatural object.
And its effect also showcased this.
Heart of Hell.
The user would fall into a state of inability to sleep.
While the one used upon would fall into a state of unlimited sleep.
This sleep wasn't real sleep but rather experiencing various tortures in dreams.
Most importantly.
The passage of time in the dream was different from the normal world.
