Chapter 44: Restore Your Arrogance, The Enemy is Despairingly Powerful!
“Monster! Monster! There’s a monster!”
“Hmm, it’s just a low-level vampire.”
Seeing Bai Yu so calm, Chen Man’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed, “Did you hire someone to act as this monster!?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu immediately wanted to slap Chen Man.
A typical case of being fierce at home but timid outside! Afraid of a monster but not of me? I’m much scarier than any monster!
He didn’t strike, but merely pushed Chen Man lightly. Chen Man fell onto the sofa, her head hitting the vampire’s leg.
She immediately started screaming excitedly.
“Ah! Ah~!”
In her excitement, her body slammed into the wall beside her.
“Don’t you have a big temper? You’re scared stiff by a low-level blood slave?”
This display completely deflated Chen Man’s temper. Her cousin really didn’t coddle her.
On the way, Bai Yu had already learned the whole story. It was just a normal low-level blood slave case.
Bai Yu glanced at the emotionally complex Chen Man and said, “This is a supernatural event. You’d best follow instructions, or we’ll have to resort to the great memory erasure technique.”
In the early stages of the Spiritual Qi Awakening, the memory erasure technique was used quite a bit. Although it wasn’t used much now, it hadn’t been lost.
Chen Man glanced at Li Yunbin and the others, including two burly men. Faced with these strangers, she could only behave herself.
Nodding frantically, she said, “Yes, I know, I know…”
That push earlier had calmed her down. She quietly asked, “Has this world changed?”
“You’ve got some intelligence after all.”
Meanwhile, Li Yunbin looked at the blood stone Old Zheng had given him.
It lit up!
“Looks like another low-level vampire cultivated with a blood vial.”
To cooperate with Bai Yu, Li Yunbin also chose to interrogate on the spot and cast a soundproofing charm.
He gave Jiang Chen a look, and Jiang Chen immediately understood, stepping forward.
The man on the sofa involuntarily tensed up, swallowing. Before he could speak,
“Slap~Slap~Slap~”
Three consecutive slaps turned his fair face bright red.
“Speak! What were you planning to do to this girl? What crimes have you committed before? How were you converted into a vampire? How long have you been converted?”
The man whimpered a few times, “I…”
“Slap~”
Before he could speak, another resounding slap.
Witnessing this brutal scene, Chen Man was too scared to speak, thinking: Are all the people around my cousin this ruthless!? Don’t they follow legal procedures?
“Are you going to talk?”
“Yes! I’ll talk!”
The man endured the pain and quickly shouted. He hadn’t even said he wouldn’t confess! Why hit him? Is there no law? I’ll report you!
Soon, he confessed the process.
He had obtained the blood vial at home half a month ago, after fooling around at a bar.
He was lured by some force and drank it. At first, he felt like his whole body was tearing apart, with a violent energy coursing through him.
But after a while, he found that his weakness, tinnitus, and dizziness all disappeared.
After a night’s sleep, he was full of vigor and energy!
His skin had also become fairer, and his appearance had improved significantly.
With this ability, he managed to charm quite a few girls.
Zhao Bin seized on the key point: “The bar you went to the night you got the blood vial? State the exact time.”
“It was this White Moon Bar, 15 days ago, on the night of the 6th.”
After speaking, he hastily defended himself, “Big brother! I really just wanted to charm some girls, I definitely didn’t do anything bad.”
“Slap~ You’re not telling the truth!”
“I… I’m telling the truth!”
“Slap~Slap~Slap~Slap~”
Jiang Chen delivered another beating. Bai Yu then spoke, “He’s used to slaps. Let me interrogate him.”
“Alright.”
After speaking, an electric arc appeared at the tip of Bai Yu’s index finger and landed on the man.
“Ah~Ah~~!! I… I’ll talk…”
Bai Yu claimed he hadn’t heard clearly and silently sent over a dozen more electric arcs.
Although this was a very ordinary action, it attracted the attention of Li Yunbin and the others.
Control of Spiritual Energy!
Compared to the crude lightning balls, this level of control had improved by several notches.
It could be considered from Entry Level to Minor Accomplishment.
The speed was also too fast!
Seeing this, Chen Man was too scared to speak.
‘My cousin is actually this brutal! He has no regard for the law.’
‘Did he really intend to drown me before? Or fill me with cement?’
Bai Yu had originally intended to make an example of the vampire, but he found interrogating with lightning more satisfying than fighting monsters, and he was getting addicted. It was a good opportunity to test his control.
After being electrocuted, the man finally confessed. He had revealed his vampire identity in front of two girls and fabricated a story, claiming he was of the bloodline of a European vampire grand duke.
Bai Yu glanced at the now subdued Chen Man and the blood slave foaming at the mouth, and stopped the electrocution.
He merely threatened, “We will continue to investigate. If this is untrue, you will be killed and your blood drained.”
“Alien races are not worth pitying!”
The man shouted, “That’s really all there is! I didn’t do any evil deeds! And I didn’t seek out respectable women! They were all willing…”
“We will investigate further. You’d best tell the truth.”
Soon, this vampire was taken away by other ordinary investigators.
As for Chen Man, she was temporarily taken to the car.
Inside the car.
Chen Man seemed completely subdued this time, remaining silent for over ten minutes. Listening to Bai Yu and the others talk, she vaguely understood that they were on patrol!
‘Do these people encounter those monsters every day?’
Hesitating for a moment, Chen Man asked, “Um, what exactly is that monster?”
Her question clearly wasn’t just about the vampire.
Seeing that Chen Man had finally calmed down, Bai Yu briefly explained the situation.
Upon learning that the Spiritual Qi Awakening had happened nearly twenty years ago, her eyes widened.
“Then… what should I do? Can I join you?”
“Forget about that. You don’t have the talent.”
“Let me try! Maybe I can… I’ll change whatever you want me to change! I’ll definitely be good and won’t worry my mom anymore.”
Bai Yu glanced at his ‘unruly’ cousin, thinking: Why aren’t you back to your rebellious self?
His tone softened slightly: “Stop dreaming. I’ll add you to a group. It’s for ordinary people who have come into contact with the Extraordinary world. You can chat with them and understand your situation.”
Chen Man ignored Bai Yu’s comment about her low quality. However, upon hearing that she could join a group, she excitedly said, “Okay!”
Soon, she joined the group.
The group was naturally discussing recent events. After looking around, the only impression she had was: There are so many supernatural events!
She also posted in the group, asking how to become a Transcendent and deal with monsters.
She was severely lectured by the group members, who mocked the newcomer’s ignorance.
I’m behaving now, please spare me.
Chen Man’s emotions had been a rollercoaster. She had thought that very few people came into contact with supernatural events, and that those who did would be secretly trained. She had even imagined herself wielding supernatural power like Bai Yu.
Who knew… it was all wishful thinking!
And from the simple conversations, she realized that Transcendent like her cousin were extremely rare! Her cousin was likely a Big Boss.
The Investigation Bureau had very high authority… and had killed countless monsters, dealing with who knows how many alien creatures!
She suddenly felt like she had been dancing on the edge of a knife before.
Hesitating, she asked, “Then what do I need to do next?”
“We’ll arrange a job for you as a restaurant server. Just live your life honestly.”
Hearing this, Chen Man really didn’t want to accept it, but she didn’t dare speak loudly, only muttering, “Working… But I’ve already encountered a supernatural event, aren’t there any other arrangements? For example… joining you, otherwise what happens if something happens to me?”
“Then I will avenge you. And you don’t need to worry about not being able to afford a burial if you die.”
“Then… are there any safer places?”
“Captain, is the bureau’s prison safe?”
“Quite safe. Shall we go now?”
“Give me a fifteen-day package.”
Li Yunbin was not joking. Most people who come into contact with the Extraordinary world tend to have unstable emotions, posing a hidden danger. Chen Man didn’t seem like someone who could remain stable, and required dedicated ideological guidance.
If all else failed, then the memory erasure technique.
As for why they always concealed the existence of the Extraordinary world? Bai Yu had naturally asked.
The answer he received was simple: 【The enemies are so powerful they inspire despair! 】
Hearing this sentence alone, one might wonder what it has to do with concealing the Extraordinary world.
But if you think about it carefully, rumors on the internet can stir up a huge fuss, along with various conspiracy theories and doomsaying. There are always people who fantasize about being the center of the world and deserving the best life.
There are always people who feel they have the worst life, and that everywhere outside their own lives is a paradise.
If, one day, they learned they were about to face Evil Gods, and these unimaginably powerful enemies!
How many people would have the courage to stand up?
Those with courage would charge forward, while the timid ones would stab them in the back. In the end, their resolve would crumble, and they would all kneel!!!
Moreover, in reality, even Bai Yu and the others had their information blocked.
They only knew about the enemies in front of them, and still had the confidence to fight them, along with inspiring cleanup operations.
But if they knew the enemies were endless, would they fall into despair?
This is a question worth pondering.
Not long after the car started, the Analysis Team sent over a lot of information, mainly about the personnel the blood slave had contacted at the White Moon Bar tonight. This was compared with dozens of previous investigations to find out how many times certain individuals had appeared.
Currently, some people have appeared six or more times!
After reading it, Bai Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Captain, with such strong data analysis capabilities, haven’t you found the enemy yet? Is it because there are too many targets to track, or…?”
“There are over a hundred people who have appeared twice or more. The Analysis Team has investigated them all and analyzed their life trajectories over the past month. But the current fact is, we still haven’t found them.”
Bai Yu was astonished. Over a hundred people, their life trajectories over the past month.
My goodness, he hadn’t encountered such investigative work in his previous life and didn’t know the level of technology.
But in this life, it sounded incredibly impressive!
Under such circumstances, they still haven’t found anything?
‘However, the great purge before was probably analyzed using this terrifying big data capability! It was just that at a specific moment, they began a fierce crackdown!’
‘Humanity’s current advantage is indeed advanced technology.’
‘When the Alien Gods officially invade, and supernatural technology can’t keep up, that’s when the situation will collapse, right?’
Chen Man was also arranged to be admitted to the bureau, with a fifteen-day ideological education course scheduled.
If the education wasn’t effective, it would be the memory erasure technique.
Speaking of which, with so many supernatural events happening these days, there were over a hundred people in the bureau receiving ideological education. It wasn’t a small number, so she’d have company.
And judging by the current trend, the Extraordinary world might not be concealable for much longer.
