He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

"Bang!"

The desk was slammed shut, so loudly that Tang Ning and the others didn't dare to say a word.

Standing before them was the director of the Special Security Bureau, whom they might not see even once every two weeks. If they were to accidentally run into him, it would likely mean something big had happened.

"you…!"

The bureau chief raised his trembling fingers as if to say something, but withdrew his hand the moment he saw Tang Ning.

"Never mind, after all, we encountered unforeseen circumstances along the way, so it's not your fault...it's not your fault..."

As he spoke, he sat back down, trying to calm himself down.

But when he thought about the scene of him being criticized and denounced at the conference not long ago, he couldn't swallow his anger.

Seeing the director's neck gradually warming up, Tang Ning tentatively asked a question.

"Um... Chief, do you have any instructions regarding that girl named Song Qing?"

"instruct?"

The bureau chief suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Ning in disbelief.

"You have the ability to defeat that crazy woman?"

"Uh...no."

"So, do you have a way to make that crazy woman surrender obediently?"

"Uh...no."

"Then why are you talking about this?!"

The bureau chief silently rubbed his forehead.

"It's a miracle that the madwoman, with her power, is willing to live within our social system. As for the occasional things she does, well, there will be opportunities to settle accounts later."

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Ning and the others, unsure of how to begin.

After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke.

"You don't need to be so discouraged. The conference just mentioned that popular science will be officially promoted to the general public in seven days. You won't need to hide here and there anymore, which will be much easier. Also, the funding allocated to the Public Security Bureau will be increased."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ning was stunned.

"Seven days? That fast?"

The bureau chief waved his hand.

"Seven days is not a short time. You have no idea what earth-shattering changes have taken place in the past five days."

"First, the repulsive barrier covering the entire continent was completed, then the preparation of the self-circulating ecosystem was completed, and now even alchemical energy is gradually being put into civilian use."

"By then, you might not even have time to react before you realize that the entire society has undergone a complete transformation."

Hearing the bureau chief's explanation, Tang Ning suddenly became speechless.

"Is that so? That's really impressive... By the way, Director, you're much later than last time. There must have been a lot of more important things discussed at the conference, right? Was there anything about the game itself? I'm a little curious about how they view those characters..."

"no."

"Huh? There's nothing there?"

There's nothing there.

"Can…"

"Shut up."

"Uh... okay."

……

The underground base.

Only a few people remained in the conference room, organizing the documents they had just compiled.

A moment later, Old Tang stood in front of a report and pointed to its contents.

"By now, we should have completed all the preparations, right?"

The recorder standing nearby nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Tang, the repulsion barrier and self-circulation system are now ready, and the energy issue is also being gradually resolved. At least we don't need to worry too much when facing a major flood or the blocking of visible sunlight."

"Technological blockade is not a problem for now, and we are also prepared for the curse of life. Not only have we installed monitoring systems that can detect life status within the country, but we have also provided humanitarian aid to other places to ensure that the spread of the curse of life can be controlled as soon as possible."

"In the end, only the insect plague remains."

As he spoke, the recorder pulled up a schedule.

"If Yu Yunsheng and his team's operation goes smoothly, then the insect plague can be resolved ahead of schedule."

Listening to the recorder's summary, Old Tang nodded.

"Alright, if possible, I don't want to use the original plan. No matter how careful we are with localized operations, it's easy to affect the civilian population. If something unexpected happens and the repulsion barrier is destroyed, that would be terrible."

The recorder nodded in agreement.

"That's true, and I do hope the insect plague can be resolved on the spot, but is there really no problem with the last part of the plan—handing over the insect king's eggs to the Wheel of Fate? What if they use this to control the insectoids and blackmail us?"

Faced with his concerns, Old Tang turned around unhurriedly.

"I understand your concerns, but child, you must understand that some things cannot be done too selfishly. We cannot achieve our ideals; all we can do is try our best to preserve the most promising overall situation."

"Child, you are still young and do not know how many crises Blue Star has dealt with. It's just that this crisis is too grand, making you realize for the first time that we are not safe here."

"Back when I was young, I had the same ideals as you, until I met a girl named Song Qing, ha..."

After saying that, Old Tang shook his head and left the meeting room, leaving only the recorder to ponder his words.

Meanwhile, Xie Bai held Alania's little head and watched all this with great interest.

"I find this old man quite interesting. Although he speaks in the tone of an elder, what he says is quite in line with my thoughts."

"What that guy just said made me wonder if these guys were planning to sabotage me, but it seems they're not that stupid after all."

While habitually rubbing Elania's hair, Xie Bai inspected every potentially problematic corner of the entire Blue Star.

In the end, apart from discovering that some players caused security issues that seemed to tarnish the image of Wheel of Fortune, no other major problems were found.

"Let Maomao handle this. Although she is weaker than Yu Yunsheng, she is still second only to the strongest player. This kind of person shouldn't be a problem for her."

"As for that girl named Song Qing..."

Xie Bai's eyes gradually narrowed.

She didn't know what methods the other party used, but whenever she looked into the other party's house, it was always pitch black, and even when she used her power of light to illuminate it, it was to no avail.

This feeling of lack of control made her inexplicably unhappy, but she couldn't find a suitable solution at the moment.

"Honestly, I wish I could just extend my power to the other side whenever I wanted, so I could just slap whoever I didn't like."

"However, to be able to randomly select people, one would need at least the authority of a supreme god."
