Chapter 77 The Enemy Comes from Within

Speaking of this, Bai Ye immediately became serious. He had also seen Xu Lun confront the Xi Xi Wang earlier. The bracelet had once again come into play, and judging from the effect, the energy intensity released by the bracelet this time was actually much higher than before!

However, throughout the entire process, they sat in the observation station in universe 661 and did not sense the slightest abnormal fluctuation from there, which is indeed somewhat unreasonable.

As Bai Ye pondered, he shared his thoughts:

"I've thought of a possible explanation: the bracelet was in a dormant state, or rather, an initial state, and hadn't been fully activated yet. So when it was activated for the first time, the energy fluctuations it released were stronger than the actual effect appeared."

In other words, besides the energy form it exhibits on the surface, it is very likely that when activated, it will emit a special energy signal that can cross the barriers between the multiverses, and thus it was captured by our Administration Bureau.

The bracelet was first activated in Universe 616 when Team Leader Han led a team to investigate. It seems that due to an operational error at the scene, it was triggered again.

Then, inside our management bureau, Team Leader Nicole triggered the bracelet's defense function again because she wanted to forcibly read Xu Lun's memories.

Then yesterday, in Universe 661, Xu Lun encountered danger and triggered the bracelet's function again.

There were a total of four such incidents, and our management bureau sensed them all.

However, after being triggered several times, it may have been fully activated and will no longer transmit energy fluctuation signals to the Administration Bureau as it did at the beginning.

That's why our management bureau didn't receive any signals throughout the entire battle that just happened.

Of course, these are all just my personal speculations. After all, we currently have no clue as to where this bracelet came from, who made it, or what its purpose was.

Station Master Huang listened and nodded, but then offered his own opinion:

"Your guess is indeed quite reasonable, but according to this line of thought, the bracelet sends energy signals directly from the multiverse to the Management Bureau when it is first activated, which I find very interesting..."

Bai Ye pressed his hand down and explained:

"I know what you're trying to say, and yes, that's something I'm also curious about."

When the bracelet is first activated, in addition to the actual effects we see on the surface, the energy fluctuations it releases in secret seem to be conveying some kind of information.

Furthermore, according to the current internal investigation, only our Administration Bureau can receive this signal; other multiverses have not received it.

In other words, it is sending signals to the administration.

However, what this signal actually means, and whether it contains any hidden information, remains a mystery.

In the end, Bai Ye could only shrug helplessly. He knew very well that the situation within the Administration Bureau was not peaceful at the moment.

In order not to alert the suspects, Director Chen has restricted information about the bracelet to floors 5, 6, and 7. The investigation is being conducted covertly, and the available manpower and resources are very limited.

From Bai Ye's words, Station Chief Huang seemed to detect a hint of conspiracy, and lowered his voice to ask quietly:

"Judging from what Team Leader Bai said, this bracelet might have originated from within the Bureau..."

Otherwise, why would it send a signal to the administration?

Bai Ye immediately raised his hand, signaling him to stop, as it would be inappropriate to continue.

"Alright, Lao Huang, we haven't made any progress on this yet. Just know the general outline. So Xu Lun is crucial. You have to keep a close eye on him. If we can't find any clues from within, then we can only pin our hopes on him."

Station Master Huang took a deep breath and nodded solemnly:

"Understood. Don't worry, I'll let you know immediately if any problems arise."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

Just then, the back door of the station was pushed open again, and Lin Huang, the investigator from the 5th floor and Bai Ye's subordinate, walked in.

"Team Leader Bai, I just went to look for him. Team Leader Han isn't at the station. He must have gone to Universe 616 and hasn't come back yet."

Station Chief Huang wasn't familiar with Han Xinwan; his contact person was Bai Ye, so he only called Bai Ye. However, after Bai Ye learned of the news, he arranged for Lin Huang to call Han Xinwan on his way here. After all, Director Chen had assigned him and the other party to jointly handle this special investigation mission, so no matter what the situation, he needed to inform Han Xinwan.

Bai Ye was initially surprised. It was the early hours of the morning inside the Administration Bureau, so why wasn't Han Xinwan there?

But after learning that the other party had gone to Universe 616, he suddenly looked enlightened and nodded to show his understanding.

Bai Ye thought of her conversation with Han Xinwan. Although it was the early hours of the morning inside the Bureau, she had actually gone to Universe 616, probably because of Xu Lun.

"Wow, that's really dedicated..."

Thinking about this, Bai Ye suddenly felt a little ashamed. A woman was working so hard, and he was thinking about going back to sleep. If she found out, would she look down on him?

"Damn it, why is he so curly wherever he goes..."

Bai Ye mentally grumbled, then grabbed the coffee from the bar and gulped it down.

This scene left Station Master Huang completely bewildered:

Aren't you going back to sleep?

Just as Bai Ye was complaining about the infighting within the Bureau.

In 616 universe.

It's around 10 p.m. now.

At the intersection of a commercial street.

Every night, countless vendors come out here to set up stalls and do business.

There were vendors selling snacks, groceries, fruits, and clothes.

Everything that ordinary people need is available, in all shapes and sizes, in every possible way.

But after the hustle and bustle of the city lights coming on, as night deepens, only a few scattered stalls remain open, mostly serving late-night snacks.

There is a stall selling thermal underwear, cotton pants and socks, located at the corner of the intersection.

The lights are bright here, and the location is conspicuous. During peak hours, pedestrians come and go at the intersection, and many people choose to stop at the stalls to take a look and make a selection.

Although not every transaction is successful, this location remains unique and highly sought after.

Just like now, there were few pedestrians left on the street, but a full-size black SUV had passed through this intersection several times. The woman sitting in the back seat of the car would observe the stall through the privacy glass each time it passed by.

"Is it her?"

The woman sitting in the back seat was none other than Han Xinwan.

The driver, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a prominent nose, was James, an investigator from the 7th floor of the Administration Bureau and an underling of Han Xinwan.
