Chapter 521 [Chapter 65 of Hidden Abyss]: The first encounter between Cyborg Quinn and Swam

"Captain! This is a fucking person!"

"Nonsense! I saw it!"

Cyborg Quinn's voice was very panicked. In fact, anyone who saw an inexplicable naked man more than two thousand meters underground would feel terrified.

Cyborg Quinn's team members reacted quickly, and when the conversation began, they had their guns drawn.

"Don't shoot! It might be something valuable!"

Although the team members still had doubts in their minds, considering Cyborg Quinn's past prestige, they still gave up the plan of shooting.

Cyborg Quinn stepped closer to Swam, who was crouching next to the rock wall. Chen Yan felt his rapidly accelerating heartbeat and the uncontrollable panic in his heart.

As Cyborg Quinn approached, Chen Yan saw what Swam looked like at this moment.

"Horrible" is no longer enough to describe the injuries on Swam's body. In the pale field of vision of the searchlight, Swam's originally flexible skin was cracked inch by inch, just like the altar that had collapsed in the Germ City that day.

He was crouching and huddled in a corner, not because of the cold, but because his hands and feet were broken.

Chen Yan couldn't see his tendons, which meant that his tendons had been damaged for some reason, and his entire body was so weak that he was almost skin and bones.

He is disabled.

'Is this the price you have to pay for forcefully crossing the rift...or did he encounter other things while crossing the rift, which led to him becoming what he is now?'

Chen Yan had no clues, but still felt that the former was more likely to be true.

Cyborg Quinn also saw Swam's miserable look. He made a "tsk tsk" sound and squatted down in front of Swam.

Chen Yan immediately saw that there was a thick layer of calluses on Swam's hands, feet and body near the ground.

He looked at this layer of calluses, and an absurd idea came to his mind:

'Could it be that... he came here from the City of Mountains after being disabled, rubbing and moving on the ground...'

Cyborg Quinn reached out and patted his face.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

Under the light of the searchlight, Swam tremblingly raised his face that was so thin that it was out of shape, and made a sound as weak as a mosquito.

"us……"

Cyborg Quinn frowned and said:

"You? What's wrong with you? How many of you are there? Where are the others?"

Swam could not answer these questions. After saying the word "we", he fell to the rocky ground and became motionless.

"Captain, what's going on with this guy?"

"I guess he is one of the group of Smokey Lake pirates who were driven underground by the above."

"Ah?! It's moving so fast!"

"Ore that can discharge electricity has been discovered underground. Do you know how much profit this can generate? Of course, the higher authorities must act quickly! Otherwise, what will happen if other forces get ahead of us?"

"Other forces?"

"Besides us, some bastards from the old aristocracy came here smelling the smell of copper.

The new nobles themselves participated in the experiment and knew the news earlier than the old nobles, so they must have gone underground long ago."

"Then which one do we belong to?"

"We don't belong to anyone. We are directly responsible to His Majesty."

"The pirates were driven in by our superiors? Does that mean...it was done by people from the General Administration?"

"Not only the General Administration, but also other forces are working hard. The cake is too big and no one dares to eat it in one bite, so everyone has reached a tacit understanding to share it together.

Although it is said to be shared together, how much you can get in the end depends on each person's ability.

Take the General Administration for example. The General Administration already knows a lot about this area, and with William Mast here, the General Administration has a much better grasp of the underground situation than we do.

The General Administration knows the situation underground very well, so they can intercept the strange snake escaping from the [crack] as soon as possible and limit the range of the strange snake's activities deep underground.

They even figured out the ecology of part of the strange snakes and selected suitable rock formations so that they could inhabit them."

"No... captain... don't we also belong to the General Administration... Why do you mean that the General Administration is another force..."

"Oh, silly boy, we are His Majesty's nails in the General Administration. In name, we are members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Abnormal Biology, but in fact we are just annoying supervisors. You see, since the strange snake left [The Rift]

, after going underground, they didn’t even tell us a little bit of information about the strange snake.”

"We are not members of the General Administration, why should we set up the Northern Bureau for them?"

"We are not establishing the Northern Bureau for them, we are establishing the Northern Bureau for His Majesty.

As for the benefits... with the Northern Bureau, we can collect information on anomalous creatures in the Northern Federation in the name of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Abnormal Creatures.

In this way, it is equivalent to us obtaining [investigation rights] from others."

"If they don't allow the investigation, then we can't investigate?"

"They have ten thousand ways to make you disappear without a trace in Yanan City."

"What the hell... what's the difference between this and the garbage gangs in the market!"

"There really is no difference. Let me tell you, don't think that those so-called nobles, big shots and the like are so glorious. They are just more lucky and were born well. Most of them are worse than you!"

"this……"

"In what way are they better than you? They are strong because of their education since childhood. They don't learn things like 'morality and shame'. They learn more 'advanced' things, which results in them not knowing anything when doing anything.

Moral ties, do you understand what I mean?"

"There's just no bottom line."

"That's pretty much it. This is one of the places where they are much stronger than us."

"We have to pay them protection fees in exchange for the authority to conduct abnormal biological investigation activities in the Northern Federation."

"Yes, but actually we are not at a loss. Remember, everything we do is for His Majesty——

This time when we set up the Northern Bureau, we will recruit people by ourselves, do things by ourselves, and collect enough information by ourselves to let His Majesty know the situation in the extraordinary world of the Northern Federation——

This is the meaning of our coming to Yanan City."

"I understand Captain...there is still one thing I don't understand..."

"kindness?"

"Why do we do things in the name of the Federal Bureau for the Investigation of Abnormal Biology? We can totally stand on our own! Anyway, we have all the [investigation powers]!"

"Setting up one's own business is as simple as you think?

The extraordinary departments within the empire, one after another, are all the product of party struggles within the chamber, and each one is covered by someone. For example, the General Administration, the General Administration is...

Alas, you don’t understand even if I tell you.

In short, it is not that easy for a new department to appear, at least we don't have the ability, so we can only rely on the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Abnormal Biology.

His Majesty's power has been greatly restricted by the Chorus in recent years. Our mission is to open a window for His Majesty so that He can see the true appearance of the super-reverse world of the Empire."

"I completely understand Captain."

"You're so fucking awesome."
