After Death, I Becam Chapter 25 – Meeting without the minister present

Tang Wen walked quickly in the narrow corridor. Li Xiao'an handed him a neatly organized file, and he took it casually, asking at the sa ti, "Has everyone in the departnt arrived?"

"Everyone else is already in the conference room, waiting for you... but Mr. Lou is not here," Li Xiao'an said. "I tried to contact him, but it seems like he has sothing important to deal with."

"Of course, it's important," Tang Wen chuckled lightly. "He must be napping in the front row of the Eastern Capital Hall now. I arranged for him to go."

Li Xiao'an was stunned. "But... sir, shouldn't he be present when we have a eting in the departnt? After all... he is the minister of our departnt, right?"

Tang Wen looked surprised and glanced at him sideways.

Then Tang Wen frowned. "You've been here for so ti, haven't you, Xiao'an?"

"Yes, sir," Li Xiao'an beca inexplicably nervous, not knowing why he was being asked this.

"Well, obviously you haven't been studying attentively," Tang Wen said impatiently. "Because he is the minister of our departnt, we specifically hold etings to discuss important matters when he is not present. So when he asks why we didn't consult him, we can say that he happened to be absent at that ti.

Otherwise, if we bring him along, he won't understand anything and will just interfere with our work. Can we make any progress like that?"

"Huh?"

Li Xiao'an was confused, feeling that sothing was not right.

"But... but shouldn't we have a council composed of the ministers of each departnt to discuss and decide on the actions of each departnt?" Li Xiao'an asked.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wen couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then, according to your logic, the chairman of the council should be 'Re Po.' Do you really think that muscle-headed guy can make any wise decisions?"

Li Xiao'an opened his mouth, and his bewildered expression seed to say, "Huh? Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Tang Wen seed to find his ignorance unreasonable. "The key point of the whole system is that the ones who really manage things are not those ministers with flashy abilities.

The reason we let them sit in those positions is just to satisfy those powerful individuals and make them feel like they are in charge.

On the other hand, each departnt does need soone with a strong fist to be in charge. One is to serve as a facade, and the other is to keep the extraordinary beings in the action departnts in check."

After a pause, he added seriously, "But the premise is not to let those ministers interfere with the people who actually manage things, so we always arrange etings and lectures in various parts of the continent. This way, when the ministers are busy flying around, we can actually get so work done...

...Is that clear?"

Li Xiao'an nodded in a daze. "Yes... yes, sir."

He felt like he had heard sothing extraordinary.

The two of them pushed open the door and walked into the conference room. Everyone in the departnt was already in their seats. Tang Wen walked to the front of the room and cleared his throat.

"I believe everyone knows what today's topic is. I know everyone has been busy these past few days, so I'll get straight to the point and save so ti."

He adjusted the screen in his implanted light curtain and a blue figure appeared in the center of the projection in the conference room.

The "Superman" that was making waves on the internet.

"Superman, everyone has already started calling him that," Tang Wen tapped the wall with his knuckles. "An extraordinary being, with a very high sequence among extraordinary beings.

Currently known abilities include supersonic flight, running ability, the strongest power among all extraordinary beings in history, an invulnerable body... and a lung as deep as the Mariana Trench.

Because of him, the long-standing strategy of Sky Eye has had to change. Now the whole world recognizes the existence of extraordinary beings, and we can no longer pretend to ignore it in front of the public."

Find the original at ".

He paused for a mont and emphasized, "At the sa ti, this has brought our attention to an even more important issue, which is that 'Superman' is not alone."

The Endless Alliance.

The appearance of this ID easily makes people think that there is an organization behind "Superman." And it can be imagined that it must be an incredibly huge organization, with monster-level extraordinary beings like Superman who shake the understanding of the extraordinary being system, as well as monster-level logistics that even the supercomputer "Sky Eye" cannot handle.

Based on these two points alone, the foundation of this organization is unimaginably deep.

"We must find out who he is, who they are," Tang Wen said. "You all have your own networks, your own thods, so use them, any ans necessary. Such a huge organization cannot be completely silent.

We need to understand their details and their intentions, whether they are willing to communicate with us, even if it's just so rumors. Do I make myself clear?"

Everyone nodded.

"Does anyone have any questions?"

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and then soone raised their hand.

"Um... I just have a small question, sir," a man with slicked-back hair pushed his glasses up his nose. "But that 'Superman'... his face is always blurred in all the images, and witnesses can't rember what he looks like afterwards.

Obviously, this is intentional, indicating that he doesn't want us to know who he is. So, sir, if the other party refuses to communicate, and things escalate to... a more unfavorable situation, should we consider... um... taking so tough asures?"

Tang Wen looked at him with a look of disbelief, as if he was looking at an idiot. "Tough asures? Have you even thought about this question?"

"Huh?" The man was a little stunned. "But... but according to the Transcendent Act, all extraordinary beings must... register if they refuse to cooperate..."

Tang Wen impatiently waved his hand, interrupting him.

"You seem to have misunderstood who the Transcendent Act applies to," he said. "There's an old story here. It happened long before the birth of Sky Eye and even before the establishnt of the federal governnt.

In the Western Continent, there was a group of people who loved to accuse others of secretly researching forbidden strategic weapons and then ransacking their hos... Do you know why they never accused us?"

The man shook his head in confusion.

"Because they knew that we really had forbidden weapons!" Tang Wen raised his voice. "Do you understand what I an?"

"I... I think I understand."

"Then go back to work!"

"..."

Jiang Bei was very happy these past few days.

Not because he suddenly beca a national idol, but because his treasury value in the light curtain was skyrocketing like it was injected with chicken blood.

This thod of promotion was beyond his imagination, but the effect was indeed good. During this disaster relief activity, his treasury value had reached an unprecedented level, and now it was approaching the 2,000 mark.

This calculation thod was quite abstract. Based on the rough description, it seed that he needed to give people hope in order to have tangible gains. So, he could imagine that the main source of his inco should be the people he directly helped. As for the other viewers of the videos, they mainly felt the shock of their worldview being overturned.

The contribution to the treasury value was not completely absent, but it was definitely not much.

The star stream that Tyrant had targeted was now also brought back by him. Regarding this, he specifically asked Xiao Qi.

"The Abyss? Uh, there's nothing there, you wouldn't want to go," Xiao Qi casually replied. "Essentially, it's a place of nothingness, occasionally with fragnts of miracles from the upper realms... Oh, and there might be various things lost from different present worlds.

But overall, the Abyss is just a place of nothingness. Dangerous, deadly, and with nothing. Only soone with a ssed-up mind would want to go."

"Is that so?" Jiang Bei frowned. "Then why does the Prayer eting seem so interested in this place?"

"Yeah, that's why their minds are ssed up," Xiao Qi replied.

Jiang Bei pondered for a mont and felt that there was so truth to it.

Now that he had digested the potion that enhanced his foundation, even in a non-cheating state, he could still feel a significant increase in his strength. Of course, in terms of skills and experience, the dicine was useless. He had to rely on the training from the Teletubbies instructor for that.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Bei's treasury value officially broke through the 2,000 mark.

Although Xiao Qi said she couldn't accurately determine how many days of life he had left, with the current value, at least his life for this month was guaranteed. Jiang Bei didn't need to worry about reporting back to the Border Station for the ti being.

At the sa ti as breaking through the 2,000 mark, a notification of the unlocking of a new system ca from the Endless Hall.

"The quantum conversion field is now open. You can now use the conversion field for ability conversion. Please check it out."
