Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 984 Shangguan Yan is recuperating
When Xia Shou returned to the Control Bureau, Jiang Wengao had already woken up. Shangguan Yan, who was in a wheelchair with a bandage on his head, was operating a computer with one hand at the table. Very fine stitches could be seen in the exposed loose collarbone area, which used extremely fine transparent sutures.

"Minister," Xia Shou asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to rest?"

"I have some important things to take care of." Shangguan Yan smiled weakly.

"Are medical resources that strained? I heard from the priest that you only had normal serious injuries, and I thought you would recover quickly," Xia Shou said.

At this moment, Ke Hen came out of the minister's office carrying a stack of documents and placed them in front of Shangguan Yan, explaining, "The level of abnormality is a prerequisite for whether or not a supernatural ability will occur. Although the abilities of low-level supernatural beings are more likely to fail, they are very efficient in treating injuries."

Senior, you transplanted the scorpion spine yourself, so you have no experience of the treatment difficulties of advanced superhumans. One of the reasons why advanced superhumans are so cautious when going on missions is that it is very difficult to treat injuries.

While there are many sealing artifacts and rituals for healing injuries, possessing high-level ones is rare. Moreover, once an individual reaches level three or higher, they are easily corrupted by cursed power, making even treatment with extraordinary methods very risky.

Xia Shou suddenly realized that the minister's slow recovery was due to his high rank, which meant he could only be treated with conventional medical methods.

However, Natsumori guessed that the minister should not have reached LV5 yet, because he did not emit strong magical power during the battle, so he speculated that the minister's level should be LV4.

However, the minister's strength should not be judged by level alone. After all, he personally witnessed the other party use his domain to pull Sprite away, which shows that the minister has an exaggerated ability to fight beyond his level, at least in terms of the domain technique.

Of course, it's also possible that the minister himself is beyond limits; although he hasn't reached level five, his power priority might exceed that of Sprite.

But that's too outrageous; Xia Shou wouldn't even dare to think about it.

In short, no matter how you look at it, the minister is shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to see the truth.

"It's embarrassing that you lost to Sprite, but Xia, you did a great job taking him down," Shangguan Yan praised.

Xia Shou scratched his head sheepishly: "No, I was just lucky."

"Let's discuss the easier part of the work now," Shangguan Yan said. "Xiao Gao."

"exist!"

"Is there anything else you need to arrange?" Shangguan Yan asked Jiang Wengao.

“Well, there’s nothing to arrange. We just need to wait a few more days to arrange the containment procedures for Vero and then contain him as well.” Jiang Wengao finished speaking and then added, “However, I think Brother Shou’s idea is worth considering.”

While organizing the documents, Ke Hen casually interjected, "Because Senior Xia Shou is not within the range of observable targets, right?"

Jiang Wengao smiled helplessly, with an expression that suggested he wanted to admit it but dared not say it outright.

"Xiao Ke guessed it too?" Xia Shou was a little surprised.

"Is there any need to guess? Xiao Gao makes such detailed arrangements for everything else, but he didn't make any arrangements for you, senior. His tactical arrangements in the 16th century are completely blank. All the strategic arrangements were 'heard' from prisoners ten years later."

"Senior, you were a major fighting force in the 16th century. If you connect these things, wouldn't the answer be written on paper?" Ke Hen replied absentmindedly, as if he were talking about some well-known news.

Xia Shou sighed and chuckled, "How terrifying. If you were to use your blind eye, the entire department would probably have no privacy left."

Kehen was absolutely right, and Xia Shou was able to know about this because of the various signs of the Blood Dynasty.

Xiao Gao confessed that the Blood Dynasty's main strategic deployments were all based on Ke Hen's advice, especially the use of vampires, who were practically useless in combat, to fill the gaps—this was also Ke Hen's deliberate arrangement. Xiao Gao was unaware of the motives behind these actions. Undoubtedly, he was the main force in this battle for the Blood Dynasty. Ke Hen's arrangements were highly complementary to his combat strategy, while Xiao Gao was unable to make reasonable plans. This precisely demonstrates that the information Ke Hen obtained from the prisoners ten years later was exactly what Xiao Gao couldn't obtain in his dream game.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Xiao Gao most likely could not know about him in his dream.

This is why Xiao Gao said he wanted to consult his opinion, because only he himself knew the truth about his situation.

Shangguan Yan: "It seems that the Bureau of Control has indeed slackened its work over the past ten years."

This is something that shouldn't be said, but Xiao Ke wasn't reminded of it, which shows that the information management of prisoners is still not perfect.

Regarding Xia Shou's matter, Ke Hen, you not only need to pretend you don't know anything, but you also need to cooperate with Xiao Gao in the future, so that in other people's eyes, Xia Shou is also part of Xiao Gao's scheme.

"Yes~" Kehen replied, drawing out the last syllable.

"I'll be going back soon to continue my treatment. I'm only coming back to handle some urgent work arrangements. I'll have Xiaoming arrange work for you in the next few days."

"I'm just assigning the work that's been piling up in the department, I wouldn't call it an arrangement. Compared to Brother Shou and Brother Bai, I still have a lot to learn," Li Ming quickly explained.

"Xiao Ming, excessive modesty is arrogance. If Senior Xia Shou's report writing skills were even a tenth of yours, he wouldn't need to work overtime so late every day," Ke Hen said casually.

Xia Shou felt that Ke Hen's sarcastic and strange manner was getting better and better.

"In short, although Sprite has been eliminated, it doesn't mean the mission is over. Everyone needs to stay on high alert for a while longer. Even when I'm not around, you all need to work hard and not let your guard down."

"Xia, come and push me back to the medical department," Shangguan Yan said.

Xia Shou immediately stepped forward to push Shangguan Yan's wheelchair.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, Shangguan Yan asked, "That mosaic-faced guy who was killed by the Rift King, you fought him while the Rift King and I were away, right? Tell me in detail about your fight with him."

Xia Shou carefully recalled the details and relayed them to Shangguan Yan in as much detail as possible.

five minutes later.

"He somehow sealed my invisibility technique, destroyed my Night and Fire Scepter, and planted a ritual on me that destroys my spiritual foundation," Xia Shou summarized.

"Hehe, not bad at all. If you were the one who just joined the department, you wouldn't be so obedient," Shangguan Yan said with a smile.

"Minister, how much do you actually know?" Xia Shou sighed.

"Of course I know a lot. I'm very interested in the private lives of each of my subordinates. Alright, that's enough for now, Dr. Joe is here."

Xia Shou looked up and saw Qiao Xin, who was wearing a white coat, walking towards him. She took the handle of the wheelchair from Xia Shou and said, "Give it to me, you can go back."

Shangguan Yan turned his head, smiled, and waved to Xia Shou: "Go back to work."
