Chapter 7: Big Boss Arrives at the Door, Vampire?
Seeing these keywords, Bai Yu vaguely guessed that the Seventh Group should be related to the official Investigation Bureau.
Qing Lake, is it related to the subsequent cases committed by the Qing Lake Water Monster, Wang Yongjian?
“I can’t go to Qing Lake in my future timeline. This intelligence is just a glance, I’ll keep it to myself and can’t change anything.”
“After all, I have no strength right now. Without enough confidence, I can’t reveal this information.”
“As for the party…”
Bai Yu recalled the party organized by the student union that Zhang Youpeng mentioned.
This should be the one he could access.
“That will take a week or two. There’s no rush for this information…”
“If something really happens at the party, there should be similar intelligence in the following days. If I haven’t changed much by then, I won’t go.”
Looking at the last one again: the Wordless Heavenly Book.
This looks like a treasure no matter how you look at it!
Bai Yu was already looking forward to it.
While getting up and washing, Bai Yu was also considering which of the first three pieces of intelligence to buy.
After consideration, he chose to buy the first one.
He felt that it was most important to understand the Extraordinary organization, the Special Investigation Bureau, as soon as possible.
【Special Investigation Bureau Seventh Group
Core Members: Li Yunbin, Qin Wanqing, Zhao Bin, Jiang Chen, Liu Feifei
External Member: Bai Yu, etc.
Date: August 2, 2038 】
“???”
“A list from a year later, I’m in the Seventh Group?”
“Does this date mean I joined on this day, or is it just a random date?”
Bai Yu couldn’t judge for the time being.
However, if he encountered any members of this Seventh Group, he would definitely pay close attention.
Perhaps it was fate’s arrangement.
He felt that although the amount of information was small, it at least gave him a direction.
After noting down the information, breakfast also arrived. After eating, Bai Yu started exercising.
Nine-thirty.
After exercising, Bai Yu took a cold shower and planned to rest for a while before going out to complete his running task.
“Knock, knock, knock~”
Hearing the knock, Bai Yu was a little confused.
This was a single apartment, and the floors were not connected. Who would be looking for him?
He looked through the cat’s eye.
Damn! A uniformed big boss.
Was I exposed?
He honestly opened the door and saw two men in uniform.
Bai Yu’s expression was one of appropriate bewilderment.
The handsome man in the lead took out his badge and said, “Hello, I am a police officer from the Enforcement Bureau of Jiangnan District, Tianhai City, Li Yunbin, badge number ******, this is my identification.”
Hearing this name, Bai Yu’s heart stirred.
Investigation Bureau, Seventh Group!
After thinking quickly, he had already figured out how to deal with it.
If they came looking for him because of the drone, he would also choose to come clean, saying he saw a monster and had already sensed something unusual about some events.
He was also curious if being more honest would allow him to connect with the Special Investigation Bureau faster and extract more information.
During the few seconds of pause, Li Yunbin was also observing Bai Yu’s expression, mainly to see if Bai Yu had indeed seen the footage of the Fishman and what his attitude was after seeing it.
Bai Yu said naturally, “It should be about last night.”
“Come in for a chat?”
“Okay.”
Bai Yu nodded, signaling them to come in.
The police officers entered the room and looked around. The bathroom was on the left, the kitchen counter was on the right, and a few steps forward were the bed and a small balcony.
The two police officers sat on the small sofa, and Li Yunbin got straight to the point: “Do you know why we’re here?”
Bai Yu pondered for a moment and replied, “Because of last night’s car accident, and… the drone?”
“Yes.” Li Yunbin nodded, “We observed that the drone tracked and filmed the entire incident. We hope you can describe the scene you saw in detail.”
He wanted to see if Bai Yu would admit it directly or choose to conceal it.
Seeing this, Bai Yu described the incident, followed by the scene of the person jumping into the river.
“Before that person jumped into the river, I seemed to see a rather strange scene through the drone.”
“What scene?”
“That person had fins on their ears and their hands had mutated, like… a Fishman monster from a movie.”
The scene suddenly fell silent.
The two police officers exchanged glances, sharing their thoughts.
Their first impression was that Bai Yu appeared too calm and composed, not showing the panic most ordinary people would have upon first encountering a transcendent being, and he chose to be upfront with them without any apparent worry.
It seemed he had discovered it earlier, or someone close to him had revealed the news.
Seeing this, Li Yunbin said directly, “You are not mistaken, this world is indeed very different.”
“Do you have anything you want to ask? Within the rules, we can answer you.”
The interaction was easier than Bai Yu had imagined, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a moment, he directly asked, “Can humans also become Transcendent beings? If so, what are the ways?”
Hearing this, Li Yunbin smiled slightly: “A very practical question.”
“Humans can become Transcendent beings, and there are many ways. Given your current situation, knowing too much would only lead to a deep sense of powerlessness.”
“The most suitable way is to join our Special Investigation Bureau, complete missions, earn contributions, and exchange them for cultivation resources. At the same time, you can also learn more information.”
Bai Yu felt like he heard nothing and everything. After thinking, he continued to ask, “Then how does the official plan to arrange for people like us?”
“There are no special arrangements. As long as you don’t spread supernatural events online or casually reveal related information to those around you.”
In fact, according to statistics at the beginning of the year, out of 10 billion people worldwide, about 30 million had directly or indirectly encountered supernatural events.
With so many people, secrets couldn’t be kept, so they naturally leaked out.
It was estimated that about 300 to 500 million people already knew about the Spiritual Qi Awakening.
The number seemed large, but the proportion was not high, and it was concentrated in the upper elite society.
After stating the constraints, Li Yunbin continued, “We will add you to a group chat. The people in this group are those who have encountered supernatural events in the Jiangnan District area. You can communicate with each other about any matters. At the same time, you can also learn a lot from the group.”
“If there is important intelligence, you can report it to the investigators in the group.”
Afterward, Bai Yu asked a few questions he was curious about, such as the destructive power of that Fishman, what level it was.
After a brief exchange.
The two investigators took the drone footage and left.
The process seemed quite relaxed, not as serious as he had imagined.
Walking out the door.
While taking the stairs.
Li Yunbin asked the investigator beside him, “What do you think of this person?”
“His psychological quality is quite good, he acted very calmly, and the questions he asked seemed well-thought-out, as if he had known for a long time. I even suspect that him filming the entire incident was not accidental.”
“Hmm. He’s also a university student majoring in computer science in Tianhai City. Our group is short of a technician, and young people are more adaptable. We can consider him.”
Many people become emotionally agitated after learning about the existence of transcendent beings, and their subsequent lives are filled with panic and neuroticism.
However, Li Yunbin always felt that this young man was a bit strange.
‘I don’t know if it’s an illusion.’
Exiting the building.
“Beep~ Beep~ Beep~”
Li Yunbin glanced at it; it was his teammate Qin Wanqing calling.
He walked a bit further away and answered the phone.
“Hello, how is it on your end?”
“I just went to find the young man, and he panicked, revealing his fangs, so we subdued him. However, his parents were terrified, and the fight caused some commotion, attracting nearby neighbors. Some people are saying we used excessive force. We are still inside, trying to reason with his parents.”
“Okay, interrogate him as soon as possible. If there are still no leads, we’ll go see Director Yang’s friend this afternoon.”
“Captain, what kind of ability does Director Yang’s friend have that can help us?”
“He’s a vampire.”
“A vampire!?”
