During the last visit, the Hoshan Road Base had been in a wartime state. Its inner walls were clad in deep gray alloy tiles, its outward-facing windows were piled high with machine gun turrets, and the floors and ceilings were adorned with complex and mystical formation patterns.
Now, however, the dimly lit hall had old furnishings, and no armed installations were visible. Along both sides of the hall, rows of benches held people in ordinary clothes. Members of the Special Affairs Bureau, clad in black suits, hurried through the corridors. LCD screens hanging from the ceiling displayed scrolling text, and a loudspeaker system announced which floors people should report to.
The Hoshan Road Base was now operating in a semi-open state. It was open not only to staff from the Special Affairs Bureau and Bounty Hunter players, but personnel from other departments could also enter to cooperate with the Bureau's work.
