Chapter 232
Four staff members began installing the equipment.
A circular radar was installed on the roof and various machines were set up within the room.
“What are these things?” asked Wilbur.
Ryder replied, “A satellite signal receiver, the Skynet Integration System, and the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense’s specialized supercomputer.”
“Oh,” Wilbur replied as if he understood
The satellite signal receiver was used to connect satellite signals, which were much more stable than dedicated lines.
Wilbur was aware of Skynet. It was a national defense program that connected security cameras throughout the nation. They could surveil any security footage within the nation at any time.
Although he was not sure about the specialized supercomputer, he knew it was an effective supercomputer.
The set of equipment was more powerful than the equipment used by the provincial departments. It also demonstrated that the authority of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense was truly formidable.
Their operations would be illegal without the approval of the highest authority as it was potentially infringing the privacy of the public. It was not a minor matter.
Ryder supervised the installation staff, and they worked until evening.
By then, Faye, Faron, and Elsa had arrived.
They rushed to visit Wilbur after they heard about the incident out of curiosity.
Ryder immediately walked out of the room because he noticed them. He told Faron and the others, “This is the operation area of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, Unauthorized entry is prohibited within a ten–meter radius.”
Faron and the others instantly stopped in their tracks and had dumbfounded looks on their faces.
Wilbur hurriedly explained, “That’s the son of Governor Campbell, Faron Campbell. That’s the vice– captain of the Criminal Investigation Department, Special Agent Elsa Janae, and that’s my girlfriend. They’re not outsiders.”
“Regardless, no one is allowed to approach this area without authorization from the Commander–in– Chief, except for you. and me,” said Ryder with a stern expression.
He was uncompromising, so Wilbur was left in an awkward situation. He did not know what to say.
Faron asked curiously, “What is the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense? Why have I never heard of it?”
“It’s a special department that is very impressive,” remarked Elsa with a hint of jealousy. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Wilbur chuckled and said, “Alright, then. Let’s go to my room instead.”
They followed Wilbur into his room.
Wilbur snapped his fingers and took his work permit out from the demiplane. He waved it ostentatiously before placing it on the table and said, “Clack it out.”
Faron quickly picked it up and opened it to read.
“The Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, Northwest Branch, Deacon Wilbur Penn.”
He flipped to the second page. “All national departments and individuals are obligated to cooperate with this work permit was written on it.
Meanwhile, on the third page was ‘Authorized to carry various weapons and execute tasles across regions.‘
“F*ck me, this is so cool!” exclaimed Faron. Some of the listed rules were basically unrestricted and Wilbur was allowed to do
whatever he pleased.
There were a few pages left, but Faron did not want to read it anymore. He did not have the authority to do so.
Faye was also shocked. She did not know when Wilbur had joined this department and gained that much authority.
Wilbur grinned and asloed, “Not bad, right?”
“Show off,” mumbled Elsa quietly.
She was unsure what that department was in charge of, but she knew that powerful department existed in the nation. The staff were all remarkable individuals. Moreover, only the highest echelons of the province had the qualifications to contact them.
She had gone through rounds of applications to bring in Ryder before.
Compared to the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, her position as a vice–captain seemed insignificant.
Faye frowned and said, “This job sounds dangerous.”
“It’s not that dangerous. I think I can handle it quite well with my capabilities Wilbur was not just trying to comfort Faye. He was also confident in his abilities.
Suddenly, Ryder said at the door, “Ryder Litwing, reporting in for a mission request.”
