Karen walked to the door of the detention center carrying two bowls of noodles. There were several priests from the security department standing at the door.

When they saw Karen coming over, they immediately looked at each other and seemed a little hesitant. They must have received some news or got some rumors. If they took ten thousand steps back, they were not stupid. Director Neo was not being locked up inside and was being examined.

What?

The original departmental framework here in the headquarters building has always been there. With the recovery of the Whip of Order function in the local regions and the York City Region was among the first to recover, the number of newly transferred and newly recruited priests is relatively large, and there is no one anymore.

It was deserted at the beginning.

In other words, Minister Bernie is no longer the polished general who needs to pull up his own team at the beginning. Although it is not easy to improve the quality for the time being, he has barely managed enough in terms of quantity.

The form of struggle is basically like this. The top management of the department is very secretive about it, and will even actively deny the existence of such struggle. On the surface, they will deliberately create an atmosphere of unity and harmony;

On the contrary, this group of people under the department obviously do not have a great influence on them, but they always like to stick out their necks like rows of giraffes, and will sway with them in the breeze, creating a feeling that they are in a

A strong sense of participation in the whirlpool.

Karen stopped and said calmly:

"Open the door."

It can be seen that these gatekeepers are struggling a little, but most of their struggles are just to pave the way for subsequent compromises.

The door was opened, and Karen was not stopped.

After Karen walked in, they closed the door again.

"Shouldn't it be reported to the minister's office? This is an order from above."

"Yes, we should at least notify the working group inside that is reviewing Director Neo first, right?"

"I said, why didn't you mention it just now? Anyway, I don't dare to stop this gentleman."

"I don't dare either."

"Me too."

"Then what nonsense are you talking about now!"

…

In the interrogation room, Neo was sitting in his seat, crossing his legs and yawning.

Opposite him, three people were sitting, questioning and investigating him.

The door opened and Karen appeared in the doorway.

Neo smelled the fragrance and complained directly without looking back:

"Why is it so slow? I've been hungry for a long time."

"Director Cullen."

"Director Cullen."

Three investigators saluted Karen.

Karen tilted her head to the outside of the door, signaling that they could go out.

One of the investigators said: "Director Cullen, our first round of questioning is not over yet. Can you wait until our questioning is over before coming in for a visit?"

"The noodles are getting cold."

The investigator pursed his lips and continued to say bravely: "But Director Karen, this is our mission, please..."

A smile appeared on Karen's face and she asked, "What's your name?"

The investigator immediately lowered his head and did not answer his name;

In this environment and context, the director opposite took the initiative to ask his name... This was actually an obvious threat.

After you remember your name, what happens next?

The investigator immediately said to his two companions: "The first round of questioning is over, let's go."

The three investigators immediately packed up their things and left the interrogation room. When they passed Karen, they all bowed to show respect.

Well, they also saw Karen holding the noodles in her hands and very considerately helping to close the door of the interrogation room.

Karen put his face on the table, then turned around to pause the monitoring circle here.

"Don't bother." Neo took out a blue gem and pressed his fingertips on it. Soon, blue light flashed around the interrogation room, which meant that the magic circle here had been suspended.

“So convenient.”

"Damn it, when I modified the defensive array here, I left a few behind. Everyone would have a few more door keys for their home, right?"

Karen nodded and said, "I feel relieved to see you can escape from prison easily."

"Here, I'll give you a key. It can't open all the keys, but it can control a small part of the surrounding magic circle. It's enough."

Karen caught the small sapphire thrown by Neo and put it into his pocket.

"It seems that you are not only ready to escape from prison yourself, but also to pave the way for a collective escape."

"Heh." Neo picked up the kuaizi skillfully, lowered his head and put a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth, then raised his head again and said while chewing, "Those brats are quite afraid of you."

"It seems so." Karen picked up a piece of garlic, broke it in half, and then began to peel the garlic.

"Although you have just been promoted to director, you have a great reputation and many deeds. Not long ago, you just killed an assassin who dared to assassinate the chief bishop's family. Those guys immediately felt guilty when they saw your eyes."

Karen threw a peeled piece of garlic into Neo's bowl of noodles;

Then, he picked up another piece of garlic and continued to peel it.

Neo picked up the garlic, took a bite, and then took a big mouthful of noodles, showing an expression of satisfaction and enjoyment, and sighed:

"Really, the food in the prison is more delicious than the food in the restaurant."

"By the way, Bernie just came to me to admit defeat and bow his head. He said that what happened this time was because there were big people above who wanted to harm me."

"Hey." Neo shook his head disdainfully, "The person who dares to punish you will definitely not be a real big shot."

"Maybe."

"But it all makes sense. Why did he suddenly do this? It's actually a bit uneconomical. Now it seems that things have changed dramatically, forcing Bernie and the others to choose to calm down the situation first.

It’s affected.”

"Thank you for coming on stage and flipping the table, thank you."

"If I were on stage, you would flip the table over without hesitation, so saying 'thank you' is boring."

"If I don't take the initiative to say it, you will take the initiative to ask me: How can you be so embarrassed that you don't even say 'thank you'?"

"Will it?"

"Yes."

"Okay. So, are things developing in a good direction?"

"From the current point of view, it should be yes. As long as I agree to cooperate, you can come out directly."

"What kind of conditions are these? I'm enjoying my stay here quite well. The cell is quite clean and suitable for rest and contemplation. I'd rather stay there for a while."

"What to do?"

"Write a book. Many famous works in history were written by their authors in prison cells."

"I don't believe you have such leisure."

"I have a lot of things in my mind. There are many writings in Phileas's memory, and they are all original works by him."

Karen threw the second peeled garlic into Neo's bowl.

said:

"Well, I came out of the orderly prison with a bright book that I had just written in my hand.

You are not being released from prison, but you are being transferred directly from the cell to the execution ground."

"Haha, he should have made other conditions, right?"

"Well, promotion."

"Me?" Neo asked.

"Me." Karen replied.

Neo threw a whole piece of garlic into his mouth and chewed it hard.

"Fuck! It's so unfair!"

"Well, I think so too. Maybe it's me who needs to cooperate, not you."

"What I look down on the most in my life are young masters like you who can enjoy all kinds of benefits just because of their family background. Your existence is simply a blasphemy against hard-working talents like me!"

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"Okay, I accept your apology." After finishing one bowl of noodles, Neo brought the second bowl of noodles in front of him.

Karen didn't fight with him, but threw the remaining garlic into his bowl and clapped his hands.

"Promoted to minister?" Neo asked while eating.
