Chapter 11: Golden Page Descends! Luring Fishmen
All six blank secret manuals were burned to ashes, and Bai Yu was instantly stunned.
“What’s going on!?”
“Is the intelligence fake?”
He immediately activated his golden finger to check the intelligence.
He discovered a crucial piece of information: 【 accidentally burning it with fire revealed that the writing disappeared. After complete incineration, three golden pages were obtained. 】
“Phew~ It seems there were originally words on them.”
However, this was an unfavorable start, making him feel a bit uneasy.
“Then let’s burn them all.”
Bai Yu took a deep breath and threw all the remaining books into the fire.
The fire instantly grew much larger, and the room became extremely hot.
Turn on the air conditioning!
“Beep~”
18 degrees
“Doing this will definitely get me called crazy.”
Time ticked by, and Bai Yu began to pray.
As the fire grew stronger, Bai Yu suddenly sensed something unusual.
The sky darkened!
Suddenly, a muffled thunderclap exploded.
“Boom~”
“Rumble~”
“Whoosh~”
Outside, a rainstorm instantly began, accompanied by strong winds.
From the bonfire, a golden page floated up, flickering with electric arcs, and suddenly flew towards Bai Yu.
Seeing this, Bai Yu was almost blown away.
Wouldn’t this make him crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with fragrant lips?
Yet, as the lightning entered his body, he felt extremely comfortable, like experiencing a top-tier, 998-level imperial massage.
Comfortable!
Outside the window, the rain poured down harder.
Inside, Bai Yu closed his eyes, electric arcs flashing around him, occasionally striking the surrounding walls, wooden floor, and bed.
Fortunately, this lightning force didn’t ignite anything, or it would have been over.
And from the bonfire, one golden page after another floated out, a total of… six!
On the street.
People who had finished eating and were taking a walk, or were looking for a restaurant, were stunned by the sudden downpour.
“What’s going on? It was sunny, why is there a sudden rainstorm?”
“I don’t know, when will it stop?”
“The clouds in the sky look so strange.”
Looking up, during the lightning and thunder, they vaguely saw cloud formations resembling the God of Thunder, hidden behind the clouds, only showing their upper bodies.
Clearly, this was not a normal rainstorm, and it naturally attracted the attention of the Special Investigation Bureau.
“Is someone self-awakening, or has an Ancient God’s Item appeared?”
“We need to find the target first.”
“This rainstorm covers a considerable area, and the spiritual energy fluctuations are concentrated in the sky. There are no obvious energy reactions on the ground, making it difficult to investigate.”
“Let’s figure it out as soon as possible. We have to get there before those monsters.”
Inside the apartment.
Bai Yu didn’t know how much time had passed before he slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he felt his body filled with energy!
With a thought, lightning appeared in his right arm.
“Damn! This is a bit intense.”
Looking again at the six floating golden pages, Bai Yu was momentarily confused.
“There are six? It doubled!”
Bai Yu quickly reached out and took the six pages into his hands.
He didn’t know where the ability came from, but the pages quickly shrank in his hand and disappeared.
When he wanted an item to appear, he just needed to open his hand and think about it.
“Extraordinary power is truly magical!”
“To be precise, it’s the power of an Ancient God.”
Bai Yu was truly excited at this moment.
“When my lightning technique reaches Major Accomplishment, I will suppress all demons in the world!”
He tried to calm his emotions and maintain his composure.
He glanced at the rain still falling outside and thought: This commotion is quite significant! I wonder if the officials will have any means to find me.
“Speaking of which, I was a bit reckless this time. Rationally speaking, waiting until tomorrow, after seeing new intelligence, might have been better for burning the books.”
But he was human too; how could he resist such a treasure in his hands!?
After some thought, he decided to stay in the room for now and make further plans tomorrow after obtaining new intelligence.
He scanned the room, noting the scorched walls and floor, and a burnt patch on the quilt.
“It seems I was a lot more reckless than I imagined.”
“I can’t mention the issue with the room, so I’ll just make do for now.”
“I can buy a new quilt, though.”
He picked up his phone, intending to order delivery, and saw two missed calls from Zhang Youpeng, along with a message.
Zhang Youpeng: “??? Is there something wrong with this rainstorm?”
“Brother, did something happen to you?”
Sent five minutes ago.
Bai Yu clicked on it and quickly replied: “The rainstorm does seem a bit unusual. Everyone in that group is going crazy, but no conclusion has been reached.”
Zhang Youpeng didn’t ask why Bai Yu didn’t answer his calls, only replied: “It’s tough~ I wish I could join the group too.”
“Then it depends on when you can come into contact with supernatural events. Someone will find you then. Or… wait until my connections are strong enough, and I’ll pull you into the group directly.”
“Uh, then I feel like seeing a transcendent being with my own eyes would be faster.”
“Heh~ Heh~ Heh~”
“By the way, the two-day holiday is over. Are you going to work tomorrow?”
Bai Yu considered it; he had already bought twenty thousand in soybean futures.
Moreover, the intelligence he had obtained so far proved the correctness of his golden finger.
Tomorrow, the Fourth Administrative Region’s Rio State will experience a large-scale flood disaster!
“My current actions, the butterfly effect they caused, definitely won’t affect the futures market. So, according to the intelligence, making a million is almost a sure thing, the king of kings.”
“With this money, I won’t need the job of an editor at all! Not to mention that I now possess extraordinary power.”
“However… there’s no need to quit right now. I can maintain my original life for the next few days and, in the process, continuously exchange for intelligence and understand the path ahead.”
Thinking this, Bai Yu replied: “I’ll continue to go to work and observe.”
Tianhai City Cross-River Bridge （ East ）.
Under the bridge.
Seven or eight fishermen were hiding under the bridge, watching the spray on the river surface and the constantly splashing fish, feeling a bit excited.
“The heavy rain is washing away the bait.”
“Come on! Keep chumming!”
Several people busied themselves, kneading red bait, and then casting it out.
Seeing the schools of fish gathering, they were all excited.
At this moment, someone shouted excitedly: “Damn! Look, what a big black shadow! Could it be a porpoise? Or a sturgeon?”
Among the fishing friends, two strong men looked over.
The black shadow grew larger, and its strange shape could be vaguely discerned.
A strong man suddenly shouted: “Quick! Get away from the water!”
The others were confused, why get away? Could there be some monster?
As he spoke, the two strong men pulled out machetes from their boxes.
This startled the others.
But the black shadow suddenly leaped out of the water.
Looking at it, it strongly resembled a mutated fish monster with short, stubby limbs from a movie.
“Damn! A… monster!”
The people by the river immediately fled, but one of them had his right arm bitten by this monster, and blood flowed.
“Ah~! Ah!!!”
This person let out a terrified scream.
The two strong men who had taken out machetes were quite brave and rushed forward.
The fishman didn’t dodge, but with a “swish,” the sharp blade cut through its scale armor.
In pain, it let go and quickly jumped back into the water.
After a brief moment of panic, someone wanted to leave via the stairs, shouting in terror: “Monster! Monster!”
The two strong men quickly stopped them and mentioned terms like the Special Investigation Bureau.
Then they reported the incident, and nearby members of the Investigation Bureau immediately rushed over.
Upon receiving the location, the command center immediately dispatched underwater detection equipment to the area.
