"Right," Mu Rufeng nodded.
"Heh, sealing, you make it sound so nice. I've never heard of such a Rule Item. I think you just don't want to hand over the Meteorite Iron," Yang Qingfeng said.
"Ignorance. You, a mere mortal, shouldn't meddle in the affairs of Contractors," Mu Rufeng said dismissively, glancing at Yang Qingfeng.
"Deputy Commissioner Yang, how much do you really know about the Mysterious World? Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This time, even Items that can delay our return to the Mysterious Affairs Bureau have been found, so it's not surprising there are Items that can seal the Item Slot," Tian Bu spoke slowly.
Items that could delay the return were now known to everyone present.
It wasn't Mu Rufeng who had disclosed this, but it had come from the mouths of other Contractors inside the Treasure Tower.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after an investigation," Wang Ren spoke at this moment.
"Then Vice Director Wang, you go first," Zhou Zhen said to Wang Ren.
Wang Ren didn't speak, but took out a pair of glasses and put them on.
Then, he stared at Mu Rufeng for a good ten seconds.
After a while, Wang Ren took off the glasses and slowly said, "He's right, the Item Slot has indeed been sealed by a Rule Item, and his life has been connected to another person."
"Director, he really…?" Yang Qingfeng quickly inquired, only to see Wang Ren give him a glance, prompting him to immediately shut his mouth.
"Heh, it seems, our trip here was in vain," Zhou Zhen said with a chuckle.
Zhou Zhen also put away a certain Item he held in his hands.
Clearly, Zhou Zhen had also checked Mu Rufeng's Status thoroughly.
"Yes, a wasted trip indeed," Wang Ren said, somewhat regretfully.
"Since that's the case, why not take Mu Rufeng back to the Capital headquarters? There are more skilled people at headquarters, and more Items, surely something can open this seal," Yang Qingfeng spoke up.
"Heh, I'm saying, Deputy Commissioner Yang, seriously, you, a mere mortal, should stop meddling in the matters of the Mysterious World," Mu Rufeng scoffed.
"Rule Type Items, do you understand what this means?" Old Black, the team leader, slowly said.
"Yes, I truly do not understand, but at the Mysterious Affairs Bureau..." Yang Qingfeng tried to speak but was stopped by Yin Han pulling on his arm.
"Commissioner Yang, don't speak. Rule Type Items are unsolvable," Yin Han said.
Even as a mere Contractor, everyone understood what Rule Type Items entailed.
It was only someone as clueless as Yang Qingfeng who could say such a thing.
Even if you used another Rule Item, it probably wouldn't work; at most, it would glitch a little.
Hearing this, Yang Qingfeng finally understood why those people looked at him so strangely – it turned out that after all his talk, he was merely playing the fool.
"Deputy Director Zhou, I've got some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Let's go!"
Wang Ren bid farewell and strode towards the exit.
The others quickly followed suit.
As they passed by Mu Rufeng, Yi Li gave him a fierce glare.
If looks could kill, Mu Rufeng would've been flogged even after death.
Mu Rufeng returned the glare with a standard smile, making her walk away even faster.
"Now that the matter is settled, we shall take our leave as well," Zhou Zhen said.
"Director Zhou, won't you stay another night? Leave in the morning; it's quite late," Tian Bu said.
"No, there's a lot of work at the Mysterious Affairs Bureau," Director Zhou waved his hand, bid everyone farewell, and also left.
"Mu Rufeng, didn't I tell you not to call me 'sister'? I'm even younger than you," Qu Lianhong approached and said.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, Qu Lianhong, Qu Lianhong, I remember now, I definitely won't call you sister next time," Mu Rufeng said with a face full of apologies.
"Hmph." Qu Lianhong snorted coldly and didn't give Mu Rufeng any more trouble.
"Tian Bu, what was the surprise you mentioned over the phone?" Mu Rufeng turned to Tian Bu and asked.
"Heh, it's this," Tian Bu immediately produced an object resembling a bracelet.
This was the latest research breakthrough by the Mysterious Affairs Bureau, and furthermore, it was the greatest scientific achievement in the history of the Bureau.
"Oh? What's this?" Mu Rufeng immediately became interested.
"Take a look for yourself," Tian Bu said, handing the Login Bracelet to Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng took the bracelet and, after checking its properties, his expression changed drastically.
[Login Bracelet]: Developed by the Mysterious Affairs Bureau over five years and with utmost dedication, it is the greatest scientific achievement in the history of the Bureau.
Effect: Special Item. When wearing this bracelet, the wearer can know the relevant information about the next instance ten minutes in advance. Within the instance, the wearer may forcibly return to the real world; once returned, the bracelet will be damaged beyond use.
Note 1: Forcibly returning to the real world results in failure to clear the instance, and the wearer will be penalized by the instance, which will randomly erase an arm. If there are no arms, then a thigh will be erased, and if there are no thighs, it will result in direct erasure.
Note 2: Mortals wearing the Login Bracelet will gain qualifications to enter the Mysterious World.
"This… such an Item, the Mysterious Affairs Bureau was able to research it?" Mu Rufeng exclaimed in shock.
Having read the attributes of the Login Bracelet, Mu Rufeng was truly stunned.
With this bracelet, didn't it mean the survival rate of Contractors was greatly increased?
Mu Rufeng really couldn't believe that something was actually researched by the Mysterious Affairs Bureau.
"When I got this Login Bracelet, I was more shocked than you," Tian Bu said with a smile.
