Political Security Bureau
Political Security Bureau is The Political Security Bureau in this narrative appears as a covert intelligence and counter-subversion unit designed to maintain order, suppress dissent, and dismantle threats within the state’s infrastructure—particularly those tied to cultural, religious, or political factions operating outside official channels. Its operations often involve infiltration, surveillance, and strategic manipulation through operatives like moles (e.g., Dugu Qiuhun’s agents) embedded in military, civilian, or communal groups, such as pirate networks, smugglers, or monastic communities.

"I think we can select a few particularly loyal students from the school to proactively enter the monastery and serve as the first batch of grassroots clergy." "That's naturally ideal. Selecting indigenous stu"
"Chapter 333 - Students Apart from some self-made glassware and simple equipment, most items in the laboratories had been brought from the other timeline. Balances and microscopes were Class I Controlled Items on the Planning Committee's allocation list. The Executive Committee was evidently investing heavily in education. "Cultivating talent requires decades of foresight. Chairman Wen and Superintendent Ma truly see the long term." Xiao Zishan offered the compliment. Such praise delivered outsid"
"Chapter 335 - Manpower Allocation "I take the reports very seriously. That's how I reached my conclusion," Yang He said earnestly. The "reports" came from Sand —moles planted by Dugu Qiuhun. These operatives were mostly borrowed temporarily from the Army, Navy, and commune membership. Physical requirements: dark skin and thin build.
