Command centers were packed with bureaucrats, intellectuals, and a handful of Wan Jia Xiong Meng from all over the world.

Under the banner of maintaining world stability, various organizations were barely united, following the command arrangements of the Global Supernatural Alliance.

Agents collected data and maintained surveillance at the front lines.

The research team analyzed data in the rear, using modern science and mysticism to explain phenomena,

and sent the results to the command center for bureaucrats and intellectuals to make decisions.

In the past four days, these people had done more than just evacuate the public and build temporary shelters.

They used gold leaf, steel, and cloths applied with magic, spells, and talismans,

to make protective suits that allowed ordinary Awakened ones to temporarily enter the Buddha's light,

able to briefly enter the Buddha Country without being completely swallowed by the Buddha's light.

It was with these protective suits that they were able to obtain further information—for example, the closer to the Ajanta Caves, the more missing ordinary people there were, and the more serious the Buddha's light erosion became, gradually causing auditory and visual hallucinations.

And with each passing day, the core erosion area of the Buddha's light continued to expand.

Everyone present knew that only by resolving the King Shibi at the very center of the caves could the problem truly be eliminated.

Li Ang, with the white coat of Long Tou, had just walked into the door when he attracted everyone's attention.

He ignored the gazes of curiosity, envy, or fear, and strode through the command hall to the small room in the side hall.

The small room was filled with a dozen chairs, and some acquaintances were sitting in them.

The short-haired youth with a cold face, Shi Kong,

Hohenheim, who looked like a university professor, refined and courteous,

Zhen Li Zhi Ce, whom he had just met a few days ago,

Abel and Xiaohuo from the European Heavy Industries Group (the Prometheus Laboratory company to which Abel previously belonged had been merged by European Heavy Industries),

David from the Special Accidents Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

Xingyun from the Global Supernatural Alliance,

as well as Sesshouin, Wang Bu Liuxing, and even the Twilight Knight, whom he had performed two missions with a long time ago—he seemed to belong to the Royal Knights of the Church of England.

In addition to these Wan Jia Xiong Meng, there were also representatives sent by various organizations sitting in the small room.

However, these so-called "leaders" did not have much presence in front of the many Wan Jia Xiong Meng, but rather looked like followers.

"You're here."

Hohenheim saw Li Ang appear and nodded amiably.

Zhen Li Zhi Ce also nodded in greeting.

Shi Kong opened his eyes, glanced at Li Ang, and then closed them again to concentrate.

"Yeah."

Li Ang nodded, casually moved a chair and sat down, and asked casually, "Isn't Michael here yet?"

"He'll be here soon."

Xingyun, also a representative of the Global Supernatural Alliance, said, "Mr. Li, please wait a moment."

"Oh,"

Li Ang didn't care whether Michael had a big attitude or not. Transcendents at this level didn't need so-called airs to increase their prestige. What he cared about was something else.

"Who's going to pay for this job?"

Li Ang glanced at everyone in the room and asked calmly, "Settle the deposit first."

The expressions of the many Wan Jia Xiong Meng in the room were a little strange. They were generally staff of official organizations, responsible for maintaining order and stability. Even if there were rewards, they would be distributed by their superiors after returning—the people above would haggle with the European Heavy Industries Group.

It was rare to see someone as direct, cough, forthright, as Li Ang.

"...Mr. Li, I am responsible for the remuneration matters now."

A middle-aged white man in a suit raised his hand and walked forward with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh? I remember you, Francis from the European Heavy Industries Group, right?"

Li Ang recalled that this Francis was the person in charge of the European Heavy Industries Group's Yin City base during the last Yin City Incident. He had even been unaware of the situation and wanted to recruit Li Ang.

He didn't expect to see him again in Mumbai after all this time.

"Yes."

Francis coughed, without explaining that the European Heavy Industries Group had sent him to India to avoid suspicion.

He thought that coming to India to deal with the Ajanta Caves would allow him to accumulate experience and return to the European headquarters, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky and encounter another incident.

Li Ang glanced at him and said, "You guys have made quite a big mess this time.

I've heard about it in my old hometown. Everyone is rumored to be saying 0, 0, 0,

0, 0, 0, 0,

0, 0, 0, 0."

"???"

Francis was stunned for a few seconds before he realized and almost complained, 'Why are you saying binary AsCii code? Do you live in a computer system? Are your fellow villagers computer people?'

"My fellow villagers are not computer people,"

Li Ang said solemnly as if he had guessed what Francis was thinking, "It's just that my fellow villagers have high IQs. They are the kind of capable people who can use the numeric keypad of a landline phone to write a Windows system.

They usually disdain to communicate in human language and use computer language instead."

???

What kind of community do you live in? Is it a human community written as a Celestial Race school? And aren't you tired of using binary code every time you speak?

Francis's expression was stiff as he resisted his questions and said awkwardly, "This incident has had a relatively wide impact.

But we have already circulated the log reports of all previous actions to other organizations.

So far, the think tanks of various parties have not completely confirmed

that the King Shibi incident was caused by our European Heavy Industries Group's actions.

There is a high probability that he was going to recover anyway, unaffected by us.

And as of now, the King Shibi incident is still mostly limited to India,

and the actual damage caused is not exaggerated..."

"I understand."

Li Ang knew that the other party was shirking responsibility and wanted to reduce compensation, so he immediately said, "You mean, this matter is neither big nor small, but it's also quite big. Many people don't know about it, so it's not too big, but many people also know about it, so it's not too small. As for what exactly happened, there is no conclusion yet, but the reason behind it is heartwarming."

Are you trying to win the New Concept Mao Dun Award?

"Uh..."

Francis was stunned for a long time before he nodded with difficulty, "That's right.

Our European Heavy Industries Group has agreed to compensate for most of the losses of this incident.

As for the remuneration paid to various organizations, it will be evaluated after the fact under the supervision of the Global Supernatural Alliance.

As for Mr. Li, since you do not belong to any organization and are not within the scope of the Joint Defense Agreement, you have no responsibility or obligation to jointly resolve the incident.

We can pay you a portion of the deposit in advance. I don't know if you agree..."

With that, Francis took the initiative to apply to add Li Ang as a friend, and sent some files in the friend link, all of which were perfect-level equipment and item information.

If Li Ang agreed to participate in this operation, he could pre-select a perfect-level equipment, and then choose a perfect-quality item after the event.

Moreover, he also has a certain priority in the division of the King Shibi's spoils.

Li Ang glanced at it casually. Without even entering the Buddha Country, the reward offered by the European Heavy Industries Group was reasonable and acceptable.

Compared to him, who was alone, unrestrained, and powerful,

the negotiation conditions for those Wan Jia Xiong Meng with organizational backgrounds were worse—in his position, he sought his own interests.

Li Ang agreed to the terms and asked Francis to send him the perfect-level equipment he had chosen later.

Having received a reward before even starting work, Li Ang felt better and rubbed his palms, frowning at the transcendents in the room with various expressions: "Everyone, don't have such strange eyes,

I just think that the European Heavy Industries Group is very responsible this time.

I don't quite understand why these messy incidents can always be linked to the European Heavy Industries. They haven't done anything, and I don't know why everyone has so much malice towards them.

Their agents, whether in terms of ability or morality, are quite qualified, right? And do they have any solid black material?

I feel that many people just slander them because they are large-scale, have a large workforce, and are strong. Some are just blindly slandering without evidence and just venting personal emotions.

They don't even allow a fair judge like me to help speak up, otherwise it's control of public opinion. I really don't understand what's wrong with the current public opinion environment.

Anyway, I'm a pure passer-by. This time, I'm standing on the side of the European Heavy Industries Group."

No, buddy, you just took their money and then said you're a pure passer-by. It's hard for us to believe you.

The transcendents had various expressions, but they were afraid of Li Ang's prestige and dared not express it. The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably strange.

Bang—

The door was pushed open at will, and Michael, wearing silver armor, carrying wings, and holding a long sword, walked into the room with a group of Global Supernatural Alliance agents.
