Chapter 17 Am I going to be the chosen one?
Bai Ye smiled and waved his hand:
"That's not the case. How could they not be able to come back?"
As I just mentioned, the timeframe is only a rough estimate.
As long as you demonstrate sufficient value, the management bureau will naturally make adjustments based on the actual situation.
Maybe you can even beat the game ahead of schedule, right?
Don't worry, you have that bracelet.
So what you need to do is unleash your potential, the potential of the bracelet, and see what you can do with it.
Do you understand?
Xu Lun thought for a moment and asked:
"So you're saying I'm going to be transported to a strange, alien world, instead of returning to my original one?"
Bai Ye nodded:
"Yes.
You can't go back to Universe 616 for now.
One reason is because of Masami Uesugi.
She is currently hiding in Universe 616, and we are doing everything we can to find her.
If you go back, it might cause some changes, do you understand what I mean?
So you'd better not show up until you find her.
On the other hand, I don't know if Team Leader Han has mentioned to you that Universe 616 is a universe that has already been saved.
The universe that has been saved will not give birth to a new chosen one of the planes, and the energy of the entire universe has reached a balance, from which no new energy can be obtained.
So even if you return to Universe 616, it's impossible for you to unlock any special opportunities like cultivation techniques or mental cultivation methods. Right now, the only special thing about you is that bracelet.
So the best way is to send you to a universe that hasn't been saved yet, or even a universe in crisis, and see if you can find a glimmer of hope in that world.
Of course, a universe that is already facing a crisis is too dangerous for a novice like you. So our plan is to take you to an unexplored universe, or rather, a universe that has just been opened up. Perhaps you can discover some opportunities there.
Do you understand now that I've explained it this way?
Xu Lun fell into deep thought. The Administration Bureau's attitude was largely in line with his expectations.
It's impossible to return to your original world in the short term.
But to his surprise, the Administration Bureau actually wanted to send him to another universe.
He said he wanted to give himself a chance to join the management bureau, but actually he just wanted to test the bracelet's capabilities.
However, what Team Leader Bai said was true: his only bargaining chip right now is that bracelet.
Currently, this bracelet is both the source of all the troubles and a protective charm for me.
If used properly, it might really change your destiny!
The management bureau currently has no way to deal with this bracelet, so they can only test it themselves.
Just as Team Leader Bai said, the universe assigned to him was actually a large-scale testing ground.
On my side, this is a good opportunity to try out this bracelet and see what functions it has...
After a moment, Xu Lun snapped out of his thoughts, nodded, and said:
"Okay, let's do as you say. When do we leave?"
Bai Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface, he maintained a relaxed and carefree demeanor, snapping his fingers with a smile:
"Let's go now!"
So Xu Lun followed behind him and the two investigators, stepping out of room 708 for the first time since waking from his coma—
...
A moment later, Xu Lun followed Bai Ye and the others to the corridor.
This corridor is much wider than I imagined, and the opposite side, like this side, is all rooms.
When he was a food delivery driver, Xu Lun delivered meals to many hotels.
In terms of the level of luxury of the decoration, the corridor of the Administration Bureau was actually not the most extravagant he had ever seen.
But it must be the most spacious and the most comfortable and relaxing.
It lacks those ostentatious decorations and overly luxurious materials. The overall color scheme is very light and bright, and the lighting is also very sufficient, unlike some hotel corridors that, although they look luxurious, are dimly lit, as if to deliberately create a sense of mystery, making walking in them feel somewhat oppressive.
At the end of the corridor was an elevator. After entering, Bai Ye took out a card, swiped it, and selected to go to the 6th floor.
Seeing Xu Lun watching, Lin Huang explained:
"Only administrators have permission to go to different floors. Investigators like us can't go to other floors without an application; we can only stay on our own floor."
It turned out to be the case.
Xu Lun nodded.
Soon, the elevator reached the 6th floor. The moment Xu Lun stepped out of the elevator, he saw a scene completely different from that on the 7th floor:
There were many staff members on this floor, running back and forth in the corridors, looking very busy.
Among them were support staff dressed as maids, responsible for delivering meals to employees and cleaning.
Others, like Lin Huang and James, wore suits and ties, both men and women, and each wore their work badge on their chest.
However, their suits were not uniform in style.
Some wore the same style as Lin Huang, some wore the same style as James, and some wore different styles, such as khaki checkered suits.
When someone wearing such a suit passed by, Xu Lun couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Those are the investigators from the 6th floor. The uniforms on each floor are a little different," Lin Huang, who was walking beside him, explained again.
Xu Lun nodded, then seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Where is the universe we're going to?"
"You mean the serial number?"
Bai Ye, who was walking at the front, turned around and glanced at him.
"If you're asking about the number, we're going to Universe 661. As for other information about that universe, two investigators will explain it to you in detail once we get to the room."
Xu Lun listened and stopped talking, silently following Bai Ye as they continued walking forward.
James and Lin Huang walked on his left and right sides, like bodyguards, giving off an unapproachable vibe.
Along the way, they encountered many people who stared at them with curious eyes. Xu Lun chose to ignore them, but James and Lin Huang, who were probably familiar with many of them, would greet them when they passed by.
Xu Lun turned his gaze to the rooms on the right, each room corresponding to an entrance to a multiverse.
The doors to those rooms were all closed. Xu Lun walked along, glancing at the numbers on the doorplates:
608, 610, 612...
His gaze skipped over several doors and went straight ahead:
Room 616 corresponds to the world he lives in.
At this moment, many investigators are going in and out of room 616.
As they drew nearer, Xu Lun felt a strange sense of nervousness.
He wanted to see what the room looked like. Although he couldn't go back now, it was the world he had lived in, and psychologically, he felt that he was still connected to that world.
