Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 53 Control Bureau Research Department

"Vientiane System..."

After an in-depth discussion with Bastian, Li Nanke knew that he was definitely not a Wanxiang person.

The 'Four Major Matrix' system bestowed by the Great Other Shore can accommodate and absorb all extraordinary powers, and can also enhance and strengthen the obtained power, without the huge limitations of the Universal System.

If the Universal System is a secondary study of all supernatural powers, then the 'Four Major Matrices' are the main studies of all supernatural powers. Perhaps this system also has certain limitations or thresholds, but it is much more profound and powerful than the Universal System with limited potential.

The Crisis Management Bureau has already had a precise definition of the 'Universal System' and is very familiar with the principles and mechanisms of the system. They understand that the Universal System can play the greatest value in studying taboo objects. This means that although this type of extraordinary category is extremely rare, it has been thoroughly studied like other extraordinary powers.

There is a high probability that Li Nanke does not have to worry about being caught and used as a guinea pig because he is suspected of being a member of the Universal System. Instead, he can take the initiative to move closer to the Universal System, and then he will have a very good outer camouflage. In the future, when he obtains more main characteristics and extraordinary powers, he can use the characteristics of the Universal System to cover them up.

What we really need to worry about is whether the value of the Wanxiang System in scientific research is too dazzling and how much attention it will attract.

But on second thought, those corporate giants and family tycoons who control the world are only interested in profit and advocate competition and individualism.

Here, the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive. People worship the strong, the successful, and those who can best demonstrate their self-worth. Only by demonstrating enough value can they gain a foothold and win what they want.

"You should have a good rest first. If you have any questions, you can ask Matthew. We will be able to return to the City of Redemption tomorrow, and then we will complete the entry procedures for you..."

Bastian smiled gently, and became more convinced that this young man possessed a universal talent.

Although this is a judgment based on previous extraordinary knowledge and experience, the specific situation needs to wait until we return to the Crisis Management Bureau before we can make a conclusion.

But before leaving the cabin, he had already communicated with the Human Resources Department of the Control Bureau in advance to conduct the comprehensive background check that is customary for new employees before they join the company.

The Crisis Management Bureau has a large and strict structure. Background checks and physical examinations before employment are the most basic, and there are also a series of screening assessments, competency tests and pre-job training.

However, with the support of the 'Wanxiang System', some tedious and redundant steps can be given the green light, omitted and optimized, and you only need to complete the most critical procedures.

The next day, the main body of the forbidden object was transported to the containment transit station. Since the forbidden object was highly contagious, all members of the containment special service group B underwent medical examinations, and after the symptoms of infection were eliminated by the specific forbidden object, they were returned to the City of Redemption.

The A91 safe zone remains blocked, and survivors are isolated and treated for infections and are unable to leave the safe zone in the short term.

Three days later, a newcomer's physical examination report was passed to the top management of the research department of the Redemption City Control Bureau.

The words highlighted in red and bold on the report are: After testing with twenty-three different types of simulated pheromones, the candidate did not produce any rejection reaction and was identified as the 'Universal System' extraordinary category.

……

Through the cockpit glass of the hovercraft, Li Nanke overlooked the bustling city below.

The development zone is a maze of dilapidated buildings, like a huge scar in the city. The 3D projection holographic neon lights still flicker during the day, but they cannot cover up the dark corners on the narrow streets. The wires are intricately entangled, like the blood vessels of the lower class who are overwhelmed. The old billboards and graffiti walls are witnesses to the decay here.

Li Nanke tried to find his own shop among them, but found that his inconspicuous shop had been submerged in this piece of decay.

But when the eyes pass over this chaos and look towards the high-precision area not far away, everything becomes different. The lush green belt is like a natural barrier, isolating all poverty and filth.

The sky there seems to be bluer, the air is fresher, skyscrapers are everywhere, each one shining with the cold light of metal and glass, and the endless stream of floating cars and trackless suspended trains all tell of the prosperity here.

People are dressed elegantly, behave gracefully, and their smiles reveal confidence, a kind of calmness that never worries about what tomorrow will bring.

Bastian beside him suddenly said, "You feel very emotional, right? You are about to say goodbye to your previous life and become a part of the High Elite Zone. You don't have to worry about making a living anymore."

Li Nanke smiled and said, "Team Leader, the results from the research department have come out, right? Which department director have I been assigned to work for?"

"Frank Vestalia, you may not know much about him. The Vestalia family is one of the shareholders of Gospel Biotechnology... But don't be nervous. Frank is easy to get along with. As long as you show enough seriousness in academic research, he will be a good leader." "I understand. Thank you, Team Leader."

The hovercraft finally stopped in front of a towering building. There were no 3D holographic advertisements set up around it, and there were even few pedestrians and vehicles.

The Crisis Management Bureau building is heavily guarded, and entering the building requires passing through several checkpoints, including guard checks and electronic equipment detection.

According to Matthew, there are some forbidden objects with low danger levels stored inside the Control Bureau, and there are also some forbidden object fragments in the research department for research.

At first, Li Nanke wondered if it would be too dangerous to store or study forbidden objects directly in the city, but he understood after the "holy water" of the forbidden derivatives in the safe zone dispelled the infection.

As long as you can thoroughly understand the side effects of the properties of forbidden objects and fully utilize their positive functions, the rewards you get will be quite generous.

Taking the construct of the forbidden dream as an example, the Human Union took advantage of the construct's ability to continuously emit electromagnetic signals and reversely developed almost unlimited energy, thus solving the energy crisis.

The Crisis Control Bureau has no idea how many forbidden objects it has. It must have some advanced forbidden objects that can suppress the characteristics of other forbidden objects and ensure the safety of the Control Bureau's Redemption City branch.

Li Nanke entered the building with an ID card that read "Research Department - Intern". A man in a gray research suit had been waiting there for a long time.

What makes people feel particularly familiar is that this man, who is about thirty years old, has black hair and yellow skin just like him.

After Bastian greeted the researcher named Jiang Lei, he told Li Nanke to keep in touch in the future and then turned and left.

Jiang Lei works as a researcher under Frank's team, and the two can be considered brothers in the future.

After the two of them got to know each other briefly, Jiang Lei took him into the elevator and swiped his ID card. The elevator did not go up but instead descended underground.

"Xiao Li, I've read your personal information. Um... you don't seem to have learned any professional knowledge in a systematic way before, right?"

Jiang Lei expressed it very tactfully. According to personal information, Li Nanke had only completed half of the secondary education in the safe zone.

If he didn't have a rare talent in everything, he would never have been able to become a researcher.

Seeing Li Nanke nod, he tried to organize his words: "The director means that you should learn some relevant knowledge first, and then report to the laboratory..."

"Oh, don't take it personally. Director Frank doesn't mean anything against you. That's just his personality."

Perhaps it was Li Nanke's black hair and yellow skin that made him feel like a fellow villager, and this junior brother seemed polite and easy to get along with.

He leaned in and whispered, "Our director has very strict academic requirements for team members. You were originally assigned to work under another director, but the power behind the director is too great, and you were forcibly transferred here without the director's knowledge..."

"You know what I mean?"

Li Nanke understood the meaning of the song: "I see, Brother Jiang, I have always loved learning since I was a child. I had no choice because my family was poor. Now I want to be an intellectual."

Jiang Lei patted his shoulder, his eyes sympathetic as he said, "Xiao Li, don't be in a hurry."

As the two were talking, the elevator stopped and Jiang Lei took him into a room where the entire wall was covered with dream data disks.

Then he took out a dream synchronizer and said, "This synchronizer is for the research department to use for study. It can greatly adjust the time rate. The specific rate depends on your personal synchronization rate and tolerance."

"The director said that you need to finish taking these one hundred or so dream courses and then report to the laboratory. The director will then test you."

Li Nanke twitched his lips, looking at the wall full of dream data disks, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Fuck, if I had known this I would have become an intern!
