Special Bureau.
This was the first time Lin had ever learned of the existence of this mysterious organization throughout his past years. The full name of Special Bureau is Special Affairs Management Bureau. It was established in a hurry due to the sudden arrival of the Awakening Era. Currently, the Special Bureau has over three hundred members. They bear the significant responsibility of handling various complex situations related to Exotic Species across the nation. Although their numbers are not large, every member has successfully awakened their Heroic Spirit.
In their daily operations, they rarely utilize the powers of their Heroic Spirit. Today's action was entirely reliant on the specially designed capture nets developed by the Special Bureau, which successfully contained the Exotic Species.
"Professor Lin, we actually arrived here yesterday but refrained from disturbing you for various reasons," said a slightly taller young man named Li Tao. When he smiled, a distinct dimple appeared on his left cheek, and it was the only one he had. The other young man, Zhou Zhengnan, simply nodded in silence, appearing to be quite an introverted individual.
Lin smiled and said, "With you both guarding me, I feel much more at ease. I never expected that even after being hospitalized, there would still be Exotic Species coming to find me."
At this point, Li Tao couldn't help but show a slight change in expression as he exchanged glances with Zhou Zhengnan. He then asked, "Professor Lin, what unique insights do you have regarding this newly emerged Exotic Species? It seems like it is specifically targeting you."
Lin furrowed his brow slightly and immediately realized that Li Tao's words were spot on. The situation today was indeed exceptionally unusual.
This Exotic Species was undoubtedly targeting him. First, it had used some peculiar means to isolate the entire room. Then, it even took on his own appearance. If these two young people hadn’t discovered it in time, he might have truly fallen victim to this Exotic Species!
As for whether this Exotic Species would replace him after killing him, that was a question for later. With his life already in jeopardy, he had no time to worry about such matters. However, at this moment, having narrowly escaped a disaster, he needed to carefully consider what had happened.
He had jolted awake from a deep sleep and immediately sensed the unusual silence in the room. Lin strained to recall everything that had just transpired and recounted the entire experience in detail.
They were now in a brand-new hospital room. The previous one was temporarily unusable due to the blast impact. Lin methodically described what he had encountered, ensuring every detail was accurately conveyed. The two of them diligently took notes and then asked Lin to confirm each point carefully.
After repeatedly verifying that there were no omissions or errors, they swiftly transmitted their detailed records back to headquarters.
"Professor Lin, please rest easy; we will be on duty outside," Li Tao said with a smile as he stood up. Zhou Zhengnan nodded in agreement and added, "This room is specially designed with an inner and outer section, with no door in between to effectively prevent situations like before."
Li Tao continued, "The ceiling, floor, and walls are all equipped with highly sensitive sensors. Any detection of Exotic Species signals will trigger an immediate alarm. You can rest without any worries."
Upon hearing this, Lin finally felt a sense of relief wash over him.
To be honest, the sudden feeling of being completely isolated was terrifying to the extreme. He truly did not want to experience it again!
After a harrowing ordeal, Lin finally managed to fall asleep after a long, long time. He slept soundly until ten o'clock the next morning, when he finally woke up completely. As he opened his eyes, bright and warm sunlight poured onto his blanket. The warmth of the sun made him instinctively stretch.
Remaining lifespan: days.
Just as he was halfway through his stretch, a notification suddenly appeared in his field of vision, startling him. There was still a lifespan indicator?
Filled with intense curiosity, Lin carefully examined it over and over again. He discovered that aside from the abrupt addition of the remaining lifespan indicator in the upper right corner, everything else remained unchanged. His reputation value in the upper left corner was currently over ten thousand, increasing by about ten points per second. While this rate of increase could not be considered slow, it was far from the astonishing levels he had seen before.
The next item that could be used to extend his lifespan required a whopping ten million reputation points. There was absolutely no hope of achieving that in the short term. Therefore, if Lin wanted to gain more lifespan, his only immediate goal was to find the Seven Star Lantern as soon as possible.
However, he couldn't focus solely on searching for the Seven Star Lantern. He had not forgotten for even a moment that there were organized and planned activities existing online.
Regarding the malicious smear campaign against him and the history of the Dragon Kingdom, he still needs to exchange for more historical information. The already severely distorted history of the Dragon Kingdom must be corrected. Let those rampant rumors and malicious distortions collapse and dissipate on their own.
Moreover, it has recently become clear that the Non-Monkey Country has begun to act recklessly again. They have audaciously occupied Lindong Island, which is the most remote island of the Dragon Kingdom. For thousands of years, it has had little in terms of rare resources. However, with the onset of the Awakening Era, a unique and peculiar mineral was unexpectedly discovered on this island. Strictly speaking, it is a mutated mineral. Perhaps due to cosmic rays or interference from Exotic Species activities, a very small number of these minerals underwent changes.
These altered minerals have been named Yiphosphorus. Their effects are still under deep investigation, but what has already been uncovered is astonishing; they have remarkable efficacy against certain diseases, including Oral Cancer. The potential to treat cancer highlights just how precious this mineral is.
Minerals like this are generally found on various islands. The recent illegal occupation of Sunan Island and now Lindong Island has been confirmed to involve islands rich in such mineral resources!
