Half an hour later, on the way to school.
"It's supposed to be a secret government department, yet they brazenly set up an office in a government building?"
Half my attention was on the book in my hand, the other half on the body I possessed, Huo Dou...
Li Hao murmured indistinctly, feeling that this world was indeed far more outrageous than he had imagined.
"And that He Bo, his investigative and analytical skills are truly impressive."
"If he continues digging, he'll probably find out about me soon."
Li Hao never underestimated anyone in this world.
Especially those elites who climbed step by step to high positions.
So, how can one stop such a clever guy from continuing to pursue him?
The answer was to make him believe he had already uncovered the "truth."
Deliberately letting "Huo Dou" appear in the official's sight was undoubtedly a brilliant move.
Moreover, as a student, Li Hao was indeed short on money.
If he could sneak "Huo Dou" into the system using this identity, wouldn't he have to struggle for decades less?
— The end of the world is to take a public exam, the end of the universe is the establishment.
Whether before or after crossing, this seemed to be an eternal truth.
..............................
"That Fierce Ghost, are you just going to leave it alone?"
Floating quietly in mid-air, Huo Dou looked at the bustling government building not far away and couldn't help but ask.
"It's fine, the Tangled Ghost falls under the 507 Institute's jurisdiction, and the possibility of it harming innocents has basically been eliminated."
Saying this, He Bo stopped and glanced at Huo Dou, almost saying outright that he was obviously more dangerous than the Tangled Ghost.
"The 507 Institute? Are they the agency specifically in charge of managing ghosts?"
Shaking his head lightly, He Bo took the initiative to explain.
"The 507 Institute was initially called the 'Cosmic Medicine and Engineering Research Institute', later renamed to 'Institute of Aerospace Medicine and Engineering'."
"They're mainly responsible for researching human science, especially human potential related to special abilities."
"Ghosts resulting from human transformation after death are one of their research projects."
Expressionless, Huo Dou already understood inside.
The 749th Bureau researches external supernatural phenomena, while the 507 Institute specifically studies human potential.
The two departments intersect but clearly delineate their responsibilities.
For instance, figures and events related to Ancient God are classified directly as a type of supernatural phenomenon.
On the other hand, unusual entities born from humans, like the Tangled Ghost, are categorized under human science and special abilities.
"So, am I managed by your 749th Bureau?"
Faced with Huo Dou's blunt question, He Bo was stunned for a moment.
Following closely behind, Luo God nervously tugged at his sleeve, afraid that his boss might provoke the capricious Fire God with just one sentence.
"Frankly speaking, yes, that's how it is."
Ignoring Luo God's frequent glances, He Bo answered with a smile.
"But as you said yourself."
"It's the 21st century, after all. The so-called 'management' is really just about registering and recording you."
"Well, you might not know, but it's similar to the ID card for ordinary people."
"After registering here, as long as you don't harm innocent people, you can live as freely as the Tangled Ghost."
At this point, He Bo's tone slightly paused.
"You might have noticed, the Tangled Ghost now actually resides in the city's zoo, specifically taking care of those dying animals."
Nodding in sudden realization.
Of course, Huo Dou hadn't noticed this since he wasn't the one running all over the city last night.
But to play his current role well, Huo Dou decisively accepted this statement.
"Then why didn't you take me to register yesterday?"
Huo Dou's question struck at the soul and left the talkative He Bo a bit flustered.
In uncertain situations regarding Huo Dou's own danger, bringing him to the workplace was almost like inviting a wolf into the fold, wasn't it?
If it weren't for the Tangled Ghost incident, He Bo wouldn't have even brought him to the government building.
"Mr. Huo Dou, you have to know that not all 'superpower users' are willing to be restrained."
"Even if they don't see me as an enemy, they're rarely willing to expose their abilities."
When He Bo said this, he clearly glanced at Luo God.
In He Bo's understanding, Luo God was the only person who proactively came forward and announced possessing superpowers.
Even He Bo himself initially worked hard to hide his true identity.
"Understood!"
Not dwelling on this issue any further, as this was Huo Dou's plan as well.
Without the current identity, he would likely also choose to hide and not let anyone discover his existence.
"Besides the registration, do you have other options here?"
Just registering wasn't Huo Dou's ultimate reason for choosing to expose himself.
But expecting He Bo to proactively mention recruitment was obviously not realistic.
In that case, Huo Dou had to drop hints himself.
"Uh..."
He Bo was clearly stunned again, evidently not catching on.
This time, Luo God seized the opportunity to smartly jump in with excitement.
"Of course, there are other options!"
"If you're willing to join our department, we can arrange everything for you, from five insurances and one housing fund to vacation trips!"
"And here, we have a flexible working time system. As long as you complete your tasks, you might not even need to clock in for work!"
A slight arc formed at the corner of the mouth, and on Huo Dou's ferocious face, a smile blossomed at that moment.
"Great! Then I'll choose this!"
"But I have one requirement: I must be paid this month's salary in advance, and it has to be in cash."
Huo Dou's response once again caught He Bo off guard.
This usually clever man was momentarily at a loss.
He simply couldn't understand why someone like Huo Dou, with such tremendous power, would readily choose to join the 749th Bureau?
Could it really be because of poverty?
Yet with the abilities he displayed, wasn't earning money supposed to be an easy task?
And why did Luo God appear to have such mutual empathy with Huo Dou?
Wasn't this girl publicly a celebrity?
Why did she also seem like a penny-pincher?
