Moon.

Building No. 5 in Jade City stood in the eastern district of Guanghan Palace.

Inside the high-rise, the meeting of the Divine Spirit Management Bureau was nearing its end.

"Everyone must remain alert and perceptive; we are currently facing the most severe challenge since the establishment of this bureau."

"Our work is to maintain the order of divine spirits within the New World and establish a positive relationship between gods and humans. All rules and regulations are based on this. This is also the original intention of the chairman in setting up this department, so please keep it in mind."

"Therefore, the investigation and pursuit of the Evil God 'God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms' will continue. We must intensify our efforts and will not stop because of its concealment!"

"The investigation team sent by the company headquarters will thoroughly investigate the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms together with us. Everyone should share information, and all purposes are aimed at quickly and promptly arresting this illegal deity."

After the meeting ended.

Lin Long was called to stay by the director.

Standing in front of the gemstone screen, Lin Long was slightly nervous.

He always felt a bit uneasy facing the director.

Not because of any mistake or problem at work, but due to historical issues.

Back then, Lin Long worked as a Law Enforcement Officer in the Civil Aviation Department, on duty at Sha Port Western Airport. He encountered a skateboarding child, caught the kid, and asked about their guardian. He didn't let the child act alone and escorted him all the way to Bei Ta of the company's trio.

Along the way, Lin Long earnestly advised, saying you, a kid, shouldn't run off; it's dangerous outside. He criticized the kid and taught him airport rules and some life lessons.

This child is now Director Jue Mingzi.

At the time, Lin Long didn't realize the other party was a Mechanical Life because, in appearance and demeanor, Jue Mingzi looked just like a human boy.

Although he knew this afterward, he didn't pay much attention to it.

A person's fate is unpredictable.

In the company's internal transfer exam at the beginning of the year, he ranked third with excellent scores. Lin Long originally intended to go to the Mars Affairs Department because the development there was rapid, the salary was twice that of Earth, and they also needed law enforcement officers.

But when filling out the aspirational form, Biting Cat, who was in charge of selection, told him: "Your performance is excellent, and your law enforcement experience fits, so there's an additional choice."

"The company plans to establish a new department specifically responsible for the special affairs of the New World, requiring law enforcement officers. The income there is higher than on Mars, but it requires a permanent position on the Moon, and the positions are limited. They're seeking elite employees with company experience."

Just like this.

Lin Long was admitted to the Divine Spirit Management Bureau, becoming a law enforcement officer in the New World.

Although in this matter, Director Jue Mingzi probably didn't pay much attention, Lin Long always recalled that past scene.

"Lin Long."

The director's mechanical voice pulled him back to reality.

"Yes, director."

"Let me introduce you to a member of the company's investigation team."

Beside him, a sea person walked out.

It wore a deep blue uniform, appearing a bit slender in its untransformed state, but its eyes were spirited, and its demeanor was composed.

"This is Hatway from the Security Department. It participated in cracking the Dead Sea relocation fraud case and black card fraud in the Dead Sea Park, among other major cases. It has rich investigative experience and is a capable enforcer sent by the Sea Hunting Department."

"Hatway, let me introduce you as well."

The director continued: "Lin Long, our bureau's excellent law enforcement officer, has five years of experience in law enforcement in Sand Port and has also shown exceptional insight and information-gathering ability in the New World. It was he who first discovered and reported the Evil God 'God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms.' To date, our most important firsthand information is collected by Lin Long's team."

"Unfortunately, the God of Ten Thousand Mechanisms was alert and cleverly hid away, causing many leads to break. You will need to work together, uncover its identity as soon as possible, and arrest it to prevent further disruption of the normal order of the New World."

"You should coordinate well. You can contact me if there's anything you need."

The director's screen then went dark.

He evidently went on to attend to other work.

Hatway immediately said, "Please take me to the crime scene first."

Lin Long first led it all the way into the bureau's law enforcement office.

There was a row of special Evil Brain Motors here. They were structured like gemstone spheres, resembling oversized crystal eggs, with the Evil Brain Motors fixed inside and gemstone fibers trailing into Building No. 5.

Hatway showed a curious expression: "Are these the [Law Enforcement Officer] Evil Brain Motors of the management bureau?"

Lin Long nodded: "They connect through the director and use the Bottled Sprite technology to project the Consciousness completely into the New World. No matter the Life Level, there's no impact. However, because there are currently only two Light Core Level Mechanical Lives, only they can support it, so it's limited to our internal work for now."

"The operation is quite similar to ordinary Evil Brains."

They entered the operation cabin and initiated the projection.

Soon.

They met on the streets of Chongqing in the New World.

Lin Long was very familiar with this place because Chongqing was the jurisdiction of him and another law enforcement officer partner.

His gaze swept over the pedestrians in the city, the shop owners, employees, and customers in the shops - this had already become a kind of professional habit.

In the eyes of a law enforcement officer, an [Identity] would float above each of these peoples' heads, easily identifiable.

"This is the place."

Lin Long stopped in front of an inconspicuous little shop.

The sign above it had green background with white characters saying "Jiyu Pharmacy," a small drugstore. However, at this moment, the shutter was pulled down, the outside sealed with white tape labeled [Divine Spirit Management Bureau].
