Chapter 440 - 424: Taking on an Apprentice
"Why does it take as long as forty-eight hours? Is that also a security measure? But what if the person who brings in a stranger is coerced? Once the two are locked in the elevator, wouldn’t that be dangerous?" Lu Yun wondered.
"You’re right to guess that the forty-eight hour requirement is indeed for security considerations. Because the number of people who actually have access to this place is extremely limited, and furthermore, every eight hours there is a special review to prevent any mistakes.
If it’s a new addition, the review is even stricter, and it has to be reported to the highest authority for repeated verification each time. Moreover, the reviews are done cross-referentially. Try calculating, how many times will it go through verification in forty-eight hours?
As for the safety of those coerced, that has been taken into account too. Do you remember the elixir you provided that can paralyze a person’s body instantly?"
Shitou smiled at Lu Yun.
"The enhanced version of that. Of course, I remember. It seems that even you wouldn’t be able to handle it and would be paralyzed for at least three minutes." Lu Yun looked around and nodded with a smile, "I can’t believe you’ve actually adopted that too. So, does this mean that your security measures are armed to the teeth?"
"As soon as the alarm is sounded, guards can be on site within thirty seconds, sixty at the latest. But nothing is absolute in this world; there’s no shortage of talented individuals with brilliant gifts who haven’t focused their minds on the right track."
Shitou was neither affirming nor denying, his face full of confidence, "But we aren’t pushovers here either; we’ve considered everything we could. And this is still only the first or second level of defense. For someone who really breaks in to achieve their goal and escape unscathed, well, that’s not such an easy task."
