"what?"
"Do you want to resign?"
"Is there something you're not satisfied with?"
Cheng Xu's words were like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, causing water to splash everywhere and leaving the three people present with a buzzing sensation.
Originally, from the perspective of the Anomaly Management Bureau headquarters and Chengmingxing branch, Cheng Xu was very satisfied with his work at the branch and was very willing to stay at the branch and live as an ordinary employee.
For the management bureau, this is a reassuring choice.
Cheng Xu's willingness to stay in the Chengming Star Branch means that his humanity can always overcome and control all other abnormal characteristics.
In other words, Cheng Xu's self-identification has always been that of a "human being," which is the best news for the Administration.
If his self-perception gets out of control, it could lead to unforeseen consequences.
No one can definitively say what kind of impact he will have on the world, but the Bureau can get a glimpse of it from the Golun Star incident.
It should be noted that although Cheng Xu has consistently shown goodwill, the various advanced weapons deployed at the Chengming Star Branch have not been removed.
At this moment, Cheng Xu's initiative to resign from his current job, does it mean that the anchor of stability has loosened?
That's why the three of them, including Kober, were so nervous.
Seeing the tense expressions on the three people's faces, Cheng Xu waved his hands repeatedly.
"What I mean is, I hope to play a bigger role in the administration."
He had been thinking about how to communicate with the management bureau these past few days, and now he had brought out the speech he had prepared in advance.
"To be precise, I hope to transfer from a civilian position to the Special Operations Division and become an operations officer."
Upon hearing this, Ke Bo and Hu Zhou breathed a slight sigh of relief, but soon their sharp eyes were fixed on Xue Zijing.
Special Operations Division? Could it be that Xue Zijing, you secretly told Cheng Xu something?
Under their gazes, Xue Zijing forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and shook his head repeatedly.
How did he know why Cheng Xu suddenly wanted to go to the Special Operations Division?
All this exchange of expressions happened in an instant, and Kober immediately resumed his kind and gentle demeanor: "Xiao Cheng, can you tell me why you suddenly want to change jobs?"
Cheng Xu carefully chose his words: "Because I discovered that this universe is not as peaceful as I had previously imagined."
Ke Bo, Hu Zhou, and Xue Zijing looked at Cheng Xu. They could sense that this ultimate-level anomaly was unusually serious.
"For example, the Gray Hub that almost destroyed the planet Golun before."
"For example, the recently deceased interstellar villains, the Arbiter and the White Princess."
"All three of them are members of the Purge Bureau. I've checked the records, and there are many agents like them within the Purge Bureau."
Cheng Xu spoke more and more fluently.
"Besides the Purge Bureau, the database shows that there are many other malicious organizations such as the Return Sect and the Black Arc Merchant Guild, whose destruction of the entire interstellar order is enormous."
"I don't think the world should be like this."
"I dislike their behavior of arbitrarily exploiting, plundering, and even harming the weak."
"But I only recently realized that such behavior could actually happen in every corner of interstellar society. Whenever I think about this, I feel uneasy."
"I wish I could do something, but my current abilities are still too limited."
After some build-up, Cheng Xu finally revealed his core idea.
"So I hope to further hone my abilities, further develop the characteristics I possess, and further unravel the many mysteries surrounding me."
His speech was slow, but each word seemed to possess a strange power.
"I want to understand myself more deeply and correct some of the things in this world that I can't stand."
"Clerical work is indeed relatively easy; you can earn a salary that ordinary people envy simply by sitting in an office."
"But I still hope I can do more and have a more positive and active impact on the world."
After he finished speaking, Kober's office became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The three, who had been on high alert, now had the same expression: wide eyes and open mouths, completely stunned by Cheng Xu's words.
Not for any other reason, but because what he said was just too upright.
It's hard to imagine that these words came from a terminal-level anomaly.
"If the General Administration knew that this person in front of me was thinking this way, they'd probably faint with joy."
A terminal anomaly that not only does not disrupt any existing order in the universe, but also seeks to actively uphold justice?
Ke Bo, Hu Zhou, and Xue Zijing felt their minds go blank, as if they were dreaming, indulging in a beautiful dream.
However, despite the impact, Kopper ultimately maintained a degree of rationality.
Although he really wanted to agree immediately, he said, "This matter is of great importance, and I need to report it to the General Administration. I hope you can understand, Xiao Cheng."
"I understand."
Cheng Xu nodded, revealing an expression that said, "That's how it should be."
He already knew that he possessed a secret, and was also a "suspected terminal anomaly" that made the Anomaly Management Bureau nervous from top to bottom.
If we put ourselves in their shoes and put ourselves in their shoes, it's not unacceptable that such a change requires discussion and authorization from the management bureau.
"Alright, I'll call Director Luo right now. Uh—Director Hu, Director Xue, would you please take Xiao Cheng back to the office for a look around?"
Cheng Xu readily agreed.
He happened to have brought a lot of root carving souvenirs with him, and after walking around the branch office, he distributed these souvenirs to his familiar colleagues.
About fifteen minutes later, Hu Zhou, who was with Cheng Xu, received a message from Ke Bo and returned to the director's office with Cheng Xu.
"Xiao Cheng, I've already consulted with the General Administration. They are generally very supportive of your request."
Basic?
Cheng Xu remained silent, only looking into Ke Bai's eyes. He knew that the old director probably had more to say.
"However, the headquarters suggested that staying at the Chengming Star Branch would be too limiting if we wanted to further explore our capabilities."
Kober pointed to the ground.
"Compared to Chengming Star and even Chengyu Galaxy, the vast universe has a much broader stage."
"The General Administration asked me to tell you that if you'd like, you could go to the Administration's headquarters; it might give you a deeper understanding of yourself."
Anomaly Management Bureau Headquarters?
Cheng Xu was taken aback.
He realized that the suggestion seemed quite reasonable.
The headquarters of the Anomaly Management Bureau is the place in the universe that contains the most anomalies and has the most in-depth research on "anomalies".
There, he might be able to further discover his abilities and characteristics.
Cheng Xu nodded slightly.
Ke Bo and Hu Zhou exchanged a glance, their hearts slowly calming down, but a sense of reluctance arose in their hearts.
